Blight red maps not for solo?

Just interesting about difficulty of blight maps.
Im have pretty ok necro build, not have big problems with guardians, shapers or elder. Each phase of this bosses ended for seconds with my zombie+spectres. Its one of most powerfull build im try ever. But its can nothing against red tier blight bosses.

Its looks impossible to complete any high tier blight map (13-14lvl). After some time of counter starting, 3-5 boss spawn simultaneously. Bosses almost ignore any towers (ring of ice slowdown them a bit and its all), its easy can kill me but even if not, im just not enough power to stop them all, i kill 1 or 2, but others reach pump and map lost.
Im use different towers, im use green towers for weak boss, freez towers and minion towers for slowdown boss (and some damage tower of course), im not use deadly map modifiers (roll for neutral mods not boosted mobs) but its steel looks impossible. Bosses too strong. Its ok, when it 1 or even 2 - i can handle it, but its spawned 3-5 at once, and wave of regualr mobs also. Im lost several maps without any chance to complete.

Im doing something wrong?
Or its need good party for red maps, its not for solo?
Or high tier need meta-boss-killer-build-only for do its solo?

ps sorry my english.

Higher blighted maps can be tough alone, I also felt myself a bit weak when I did a few T13-14-15 blighted maps. Minion builds are good for it for sure, You just have to rely on the towers more than usual. At least, that worked for me, used almost all my points continually for ice / fire and empower towers, which helped a lot to my minions to do their job killing the bosses slowly but steadily.

Oh, and try not to get too much bosses at a time. To achieve this, try not to sit on the pump and wait the monters to come. I prefer to run in circles continually to hunt down the monsters and especially the bosses one by one as they appear or as they are coming closer to the pump. Never had 5 bosses on one spot at a time, maximally usually 1-2 at a time at the same spot.

So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0.
All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this.

Im for sure was 4 bosses simultaneously. Dont thinking about to make screenshot in this moment of curse, was little busy ))
When its just 1 boss im stayed alive, even when its spawned by two at time im was handle it. But finally its spawned more then 2 and regular mobs too.

Ok, thanks for your advise, im try to make more freezer towers next time.
You are running two 5 links for spectres and zombies, but you could 6-link the chest and get another two modifiers for the helmet.

So you are running at about half your potential power, roughly.

Blight maps are a great reason to push further, harder, more dps, etc.

Im bad luck in this league with making 6l, already spend about... dont know, maybe 1000-1500 fuses, not luck. Also cant make 21/20 raise spectre and zombie yet. Corrupt ~20 gems, not even once proc to 21.
But 6l vs 5l its not twice power, its about 20% better.

Im understand, im can make better build with better wands, better chest, better helm etc but its what my question about - my build already good enough to kill shaper etc with not much problems (if boss not one shot me like minotaur its not big deal, and its matter of player skills) but this build cant nothing against 13-14t blight map with no deadly mods and with helping me aiont mods. And looks its not place to skills if 4 bosses spawned simultaneously.

So now its need no lesst then "maximized-boss-killer" powerfull builds for just playing league content?

You do not need a very min-maxed boss killer, I do not have that too, but sure, You need a lot of damage for the high level blighted maps, as their bosses has tons of health and mitigation (a blighted boss simply feels like a shaper on those levels).

Just for illustrating:

Four boss go in a row with many other mobs arround. For sure its crush my defence.
Its many freeze towers and its help, but when one boss freezed another go forward.

Its so rare droped maps (im see 1 blight map drop for, not sure, maybe 30-40 encounters?), and its too hard to complete on high tier. And its have almost useless drop after completing.
And its other so much rnd in challenges in this league. Im not see not one blight unique, not one zana cortex mission, all three Exile/Blught rare/Blight unique not completed with 2-3 unrevealed in list.
I think GGG make something wrong this time.
And im understand people doped league after ~two week, its was great idea. Too bad im not leave before starting making challenges.
Another possibility is to modify the map to -60% tower cost, and wear rings with +50% meteor towe damage.

Then you can build really lots of towers - build 5+ on a spot and enhance them further. They will do real damage if you can build lots of them.
If you're not playing Necro, just sell them all. They are not for other builds.

Trust me.
