Final Thoughts

The Fire Necromancer Minion Army is the pinnacle of lazy-yet-lethal builds in Last Epoch. It's tanky, self-sustaining, and capable of clearing absurd corruption levels - all while you stroll through maps like a god commanding an infernal legion.

Last Epoch Dev Chat 190: Season 4 Hints, Stash Upgrade, Affix Exchange, and Roadmap Updates
This week's Q&A brought some long-awaited insights and juicy teasers about Season 4, plus updates on stash improvements, affix exchanges, and the ever-elusive roadmap. Let's break it all down.

Season 4 Teaser: The Mysterious "Flow"

As always, Mike kept things playful and cryptic when asked to describe Season 4 in a single word. His answer?

"Flow."

That's it-just flow. Naturally, this sent the community spinning with speculation. Is it related to smoother gameplay systems, movement mechanics, or maybe new skill synergy? Knowing Last Epoch's track record, it's probably a mix of all three. What we do know is that the next cycle is shaping up to evolve core systems rather than just add more surface content.

Stash Overhaul Incoming

Another big reveal came when Mike addressed one of the most requested quality-of-life fixes in Last Epoch-the stash system.

Currently, every seasonal stash remains visible even after it's emptied, leaving players scrolling through endless tabs from past cycles. Mike confirmed that the team is actively working on stash updates:

"We are working on updates to the stash system-layout, visuals, what buttons are there, what functionality is available."

This means better sorting, improved visuals, and potentially an option to hide or remove empty legacy tabs. Anyone who's ever cleaned out their stash from Season 1 onward knows how tedious it can get. These updates can't come soon enough.
