The Incursion mechanic is one of the more profitable contents during the early mapping stage as you try to uncover more branches and gain drops. Raiding the Temple of Atzoatl will provide us with various loot depending on which rooms we upgrade to their max tier. Players are given multiple chances to enhance each chamber or to change their current layout. If you want to maximize your profit running Incursions, this guide will help you determine the best rooms to upgrade.

PoE Incursion Overview
Alva sends you back in time to reshape the Temple of Atzoatl before you plunder its treasures. The layout of the pyramid will change depending on your actions and choices. You alter the chambers and their tier depending on which Architect you kill. Alva will give you three chances to go back on every map to upgrade and change three different chambers each time.

How to Upgrade Rooms to Tier III
Alva will only give you three attempts before you must plunder the whole Temple, so you need to focus your efforts on changing rooms you want to enhance. Whenever Alva appears on a map, she’ll send you to a random chamber. However, you cannot change or upgrade the same room on the same map. If you want to maximize your chances of altering a specific room, skip instances that go to chambers you don’t like and move on to the following map. While this results in fewer rooms to raid, you get better rewards for doing this.
