Grovewalker Class Guide
The Grovewalker is a ranged shapeshifter that uses the power of nature to enhance their magic and bury their enemies. Their weapon of choice is the Tree Staff, but the Grovewalker is more than just a hermit with a stick, it is truly a force of nature.

The Grovewalker is a tank, its main focus being on keeping its allies alive when in a team. However, it is a very formidable opponent alone.



SOLO PLAY


When fighting groups of enemies, the Grovewalker can grab the attention of enemies with Breath of the Forest. This will damage, as well as sow several Diocinia Buds which can then be grown into Diocinia Flowers by using Blooming. These flowers will attack the Grovewalker’s enemies on their own, but the Grovewalker can also infuse them with additional magic, increasing their attack rate and power by using Tessa’s Call, and even turn infused flowers into bombs with the same ability after having empowered them. These bombs spray sharp needles in all directions when they explode.

To maximize the damage from the flower bombs, you can trap enemies with Nature’s Grip, which sends forward living roots to grab, entangle, and lift enemies into the air. If any stragglers remain, become One With Nature, and you will transform into seeds carried by the wind, avoiding all damage and control effects for the duration, while waiting for other abilities to be ready again.

In the event that the Grovewalker ends up surrounded but holds enough natural magic, they can use their Shapeshifting abilities to transform into a powerful Phytomorph using Morph Living Armor. This changes the Grovewalker into a melee fighter and grants them new abilities, as well as significantly increasing their endurance (HP increase and crowd control reduction—does not grant the Endurance stat).

While in this Phytoform, use Throw to attack enemies, but also to quickly jump to enemies that are very far away, then follow up with Deadly Thorns to unleash a flurry of whipping attacks with your vine arms that will damage enemies in an area around you. Go Living Missile or Piercing Strike next to stun enemies while waiting for Deadly Thorns to be ready again. If push comes to shove, the Grovewalker can even channel nature’s healing properties with Touch of Life to heal their wounds, and even gain a powerful shield when their Phytoform ends.

TIP: To be able to transform quicker, you can use Sowing to fill up any remaining missing energy you need.

TIP: For near death encounters, use Touch of Life to heal, dismiss the Phytomorph with Reverse Living Armor to gain the shield, and follow up with One With Nature so you can’t be targeted.



TEAM PLAY


The main priority switches for the Grovewalker in a team. It is no longer dealing damage, but helping allies stay standing. Open with Breath of the Forest at the start of each fight, followed by Nature’s Grip to root weak enemies in place for your team. As the Phytomorph, attack with Deadly Thorns to draw the ire of enemies. Living Missile or Piercing Strike will knock enemies off their feet. Any left standing can be hit with Deadly Thorns to ensure they target your hulking form and not your group.

TIP: Change into your Phytoform as quickly as possible to maintain control of the enemy and keep yourself alive.

 

ATTRIBUTES


The typical Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance stat choice for solo play will serve you well. In team play, a combination of General Defense, Barrier, Ranged Defense and Melee Defense would work. Note: Ranged Defense and Melee Defense are secondary stats.

Mechanoid Invasion is Coming
From organics to synthetics, everyone wants a piece of Aelion. Now that the Phytonides are being wiped out, we have intel that the Mechanoids will soon begin their onslaught. The Mechanoid Invasion begins on May 19.


SEASONAL CHALLENGES


Complete seasonal challenges by sending as many machines to the scrap heap as you can. You’ll earn Invasion Pass progress points and unlock Invasion-exclusive rewards available to all players. If you purchase the Premium Invasion Pass, you’ll get double the rewards!


INVASION REWARDS


Unlock 20 rounds of exclusive, limited-time rewards, including a brand new Divine Form, Cyberpunk cosmetics, a Companion, plenty of resources, currency, and other cosmetic and style items along the way! You can also get a Portrait Center Element as an instant reward when you buy the Invasion Pass.


FIGHT THE INTEGRATOR


The first major boss, Secret Oculat Double, can be fought from the beginning of the Invasion, but later in the Invasion, you can also challenge the Mechanoids’ almighty leader: The Integrator, Avatar of the Mechanoid Invasion and one of the toughest enemies in the game.

Revenant Class Guide
The Revenant is a melee fighter that uses an enormous Axe along with its Death Magic to annihilate any who are foolish enough to cross its path. Revenants thrive on death and destruction and have absolutely no qualms about dishing them out. Their strength on the battlefield inspires allies, and strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy.



SOLO AND TEAM PLAY


Revenants use their brute force and power to crush all who oppose them. When facing groups of weaker enemies, a Revenant can choose one of two ways to approach from a distance—either by using Dehydration to pull all enemies close while draining the life from them at the same time (keep in mind that healing from Dehydration can only happen on each second use of the ability), or by getting up close and personal by casting a Gloomy Shadow of yourself that you can then jump to and unleash a powerful attack that will knock enemies off their feet. Follow this up with either Slaughter or Destruction, then finish off any potential stragglers with Punishment and Slashing Blow. Depending on the strength of the enemies, you can also use Death’s Steward to ensure their demise.

When facing bosses, begin with Dehydration before closing the gap with Gloomy Shadow (if the enemy is far away), then unleash the power of your death magic with Death’s Steward, which draws power directly from the river of dead souls, a part of which will appear at your feet and begin to slowly drain the life force of your enemy while also increasing your power. If you’re using Death’s Steward and Slaughter becomes available, strike quickly with Punishment and follow up with three Slashing Blows, then repeat - if at any point during that onslaught your Slaughter gets charged up, use Punishment, followed by Slaughter, and then Punishment twice more, before returning to the normal, unempowered Punishment, and the x3 Slashing Blow combination. This specific trick only works while Death’s Steward is active though!

When the situation becomes dire, a Revenant doesn’t have much to fear. Actually, that is when they can truly shine. When your life drops low enough, you can use Dehydration to steal some of the enemy’s life force to heal your own wounds. As well as this, you can cast Embrace of Pain to shrug off, and even heal from, hostile attacks. Any sane foe would flee at the sight of somebody rejuvenated by pain, which is exactly what happens. Have fun chasing terrified enemies down with Punishment.



ATTRIBUTES


As a DPS class, we recommend damage-enhancing stats like Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance.

Knight Class Guide

The Knight is a melee defender that uses a shield and spear, and relies on sheer force of will to break their enemies. In battle, their goal is to attract the attention of their enemies and protect their allies, but a Knight is no slouch on their own either.


 

SOLO PLAY


When fighting alone, know that the knight does not have any attacks that deliver massive damage, but it does deal consistent damage while also surviving situations that others would not. Charge in with Battering Ram (hold down RMB) and use a combination of the shield bash (same button as Battering Ram, but without holding down RMB) and Havoc to take out groups of weaker enemies. Note that the shield bash is most effective when your companion is ready to strike.

When facing tougher enemies, call on your Falcon ally to strike and distract with Falcon Attack, then use Tantrum to empower your strikes. Spear Attack and Resolute Strike will make your enemy bleed, and use the occasional shield bash to allow your companion to get in on the action.

In the event that you find yourself overwhelmed and about to break, fear not, for the Knight’s Will is near indomitable, simply use Whiplash to stand right back up, your wounds healed and your willpower restored.



TEAM PLAY


In a team, the Knight’s main focus is to protect their allies by keeping enemies away from them. Raise your shield with Barrier when you start, then charge in with Battering Ram, knocking enemies off their feet by striking them with your shield. Follow up with Havoc to shake the ground itself, drawing enemies closer as they stand back up. When they try to retaliate, use Resolute Rebuff to shield yourself and force the enemies to attack you, while also reflecting the damage they do right back at them.

In the event that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, power your barrier up with either Havoc or Falcon Attack and follow up with a shield bash to knock enemies down if your companion is ready to strike, or use Stray Attack to temporarily shield yourself. Remember, you can always rely on Tantrum to shield yourself properly using your willpower if things get really hairy.

When facing particularly powerful enemies, raise your Barrier and follow up with Falcon Attack to power your barrier up and reduce incoming damage. Maintain the Barrier with Spear Attack, but make sure to use Spear Throw every now and again to keep the enemy’s attention. When your team is ready to unleash a massive burst of damage, use Spear Throw, Resolute Rebuff and then Spear Throw again to make sure the enemy stays focused on you.


 

ATTRIBUTES


The knight is unique in that depending on the situation, different stats are important. The typical Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance stat choice for solo play will serve you well. If you’re aiming to be your team’s shield, a combination of General Defense, Barrier, Ranged Defense & Melee Defense could be the difference between success and failure. Note: Ranged Defense and Melee Defense are secondary stats.

Soundweaver Class Guide
The Soundweaver is a support class that uses its profound musical talent and Guitar to both inspire its allies, and break its enemies, both physically and mentally.


SOLO PLAY


When alone, start by placing an amplifier on the enemy and use Rhythm of Strength to do damage and increase your damage output, then use Notes of Pain and Notes of Agony to quickly dismantle any enemy. Remember to always pay attention to your equalizers—play the correct notes depending on which side the amplifier shifts, or your music will be out of tune and not as effective. In the event that enemies surround you, use Rhythm of Courage to push them away and increase your defense, or Rhythm of Inspiration to make the enemy dance to your tune, stunning them for a few seconds, and reducing their outgoing damage.



TEAM PLAY


As a support class, team play is where the Soundweaver truly shines. Start any fight by placing your amplifiers on your enemy, as well as on your allies, then start with Rhythm of Strength to increase the damage output of you and your team, and make short work of any packs of enemies.

When facing bosses, wait for the call, and when your team asks for buffs, use your Fiery Solo to grant them a combination of the improved effects of all your Rhythms at the same time! You can also use Rhythm of Courage to increase allies’ defenses, and Rhythm of Inspiration to reset their Ultimate abilities faster. This also works to reduce the cooldown of your Fiery Solo, allowing you to unleash your next assault sooner, rather than later.

Pay attention to the placement of your Amplifiers! They only have an effect if they are in range of allies and enemies, so be sure to always have them stationed where the fight is. You yourself do not need to be in the Amplifier range yourself, because you receive the effects of the active Rhythm at all times. The music lives in you, baby!



ATTRIBUTES


As far as stats are concerned, the Soundweaver is unique in that it requires no specific stats when playing in a team, but for solo play your options are more varied. Feel free to use a combination of Main Damage and Companion Damage, or the more classic Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance.

Firestarter Class Guide
The Firestarter is a ranged caster class that uses torches and heat to burn its enemies to a crisp. As you use your attacks, you will build up Heat, which will enhance some of your attacks, such as Fire Dance & Fire Breath.



SOLO & TEAM PLAY


For packs of enemies, begin by throwing Flaming Sphere. When you’ve used all three, follow up with Eruption to stun the enemies in place. Remember to keep your distance when using Flaming Sphere because it needs the space to build up power—if you’re too close, it won’t be as powerful. Finish off any surviving enemies with either Fire Dance (if surrounded) or Fire Breath (if the enemy is in front of you). In situations where you face packs of more powerful enemies, you can lay waste to the entire battlefield with Incinerating Rain, a huge meteor shower.

Bosses will be a bit trickier, but Flaming Sphere is still the go-to for initiating fights. When all spheres have been thrown, use Eruption and Incinerating Rain. Jump through Path of Flame and use all of your built up heat to burn the enemy with Fire Breath before quickly jumping back through the portal left by the ability. Use up the new Flaming Spheres gained by Path of Flame and then use Shape of Fire to restore your Flaming Spheres—but that’s not all it does! It will also heal you and even allow you to escape from CC (crowd control) effects.

As a DPS class, we recommend damage-enhancing stats like Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance.
