In Patch 0.7.8 we are overhauling the stash, introducing a lot of new features and options!
 

This post describes features coming to Last Epoch in a future update. While some of these may require that in-game currency be spent to unlock them, the below features will not be microtransactions (“MTX”) and will not require real-world money to obtain.

With new zones come new enemies! We’ve prepared previews of two enemies coming in Patch 0.7.8 which consist of lore snippets, design sheets, screenshots, and short videos.

The enemies featuring in today’s post are the Meruna Siren and the Winged Fire.
