Bloodline Ascendancies in Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame Update
Bloodline Ascendancies in Path of Exile’s Keepers of the Flame update introduce a new way to enhance your characters. These unique passives expand both early and endgame build crafting, allowing for more customization and powerful effects. You can activate a Bloodline Ascendancy alongside your regular Ascendancy, but using one comes at a cost: Bloodlines share the same Ascendancy points as your main Ascendancy, meaning you’ll need to sacrifice a few nodes to unlock the power of the bosses.
Patch 3.27 adds 10 Bloodlines for you to discover throughout the campaign and endgame. Here’s everything you need to know about them.
