Path of Exile Flashback Guides and Builds

The three-week flashback event will bring crazy map mods, and the challenges will be more difficult. In order to help players experience the game better, this Path of Exile Flashback guide introduces the content of flashback in detail and recommends popular builds

What's Flashback

The Heist Flashback Event is all about the ruckus. In each area you'll contest with several popular mods from past leagues in a harrowing mad-dash for power and glory. Alongside Heist, each area in Wraeclast will have a random selection of three of the following mods present. These mods will change every hour, on the hour.

• 2 Additional Rogue Exiles
• 2 Additional Invasion Bosses
• 1 Additional Breach
• 2 Additional Strongboxes
• 3 Additional Tormented Spirits
• 2 Additional Perandus Chests and a 33% chance to spawn Cadiro
• 3 Additional Rare Monster Packs with Nemesis Mods
• 3 Additional Magic Monster Packs with Bloodlines
• 1 Additional Abyss
• 2 Additional Harbingers
• 1 Timeless Monolith
• 1 Metamorph
• 1 Delirium Mirror
• Beyond

This is a Heist event which means that alongside the chaos of past mods, you'll have access to Heist's content in its current form. This is a separate event to the Heist League which means you'll need to make a fresh character in order to participate. You can, however, continue to complete your Heist challenges in the Heist Flashback Event.

Flashback Prizes Previews

Demigod's Authority

The top five of each Ascendancy Class in each of the four versions of the event will be awarded a brand new Demigod's Authority. Each Demigod's Authority will display your event class rank.

These will be awarded to the top five ranked players for each Ascendancy Class for each version of the Flashback Event. Changing your Ascendancy Class will be disabled for the duration of the event.

Twilight Mystery Box

In the Flashback Event, you'll be automatically awarded a Twilight Mystery Box for reaching level 50. This is a guaranteed prize that's only available once per account per event. Leveling multiple characters in the same event will not grant multiple mystery boxes.

Random Draw Microtransaction

If you reach one of the level thresholds below, you'll automatically be in the draw to win one of the microtransaction prizes below. These will be drawn at random and shared across all versions of the event.

The microtransaction prizes are not awarded automatically based on meeting the level requirements. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the event. Leveling multiple characters in the same event will increase your chances of winning one of the randomly-drawn prizes.
