Is Aethis Worth it?
Aethis Overview
Aethis the Sorrow is a powerful Water Element, Melee Damage Invoker.
He specialises in direct damage, reducing his own cooldowns, and generating extra Ultimate and Titan Mana.
He can also Shield himself for some off-tanking on the frontlines.
Where Will Aethis be Useful?
Aethis will be useful in a number of areas: Yskara, due to being Melee Damage; Omnissi (Fire), due to double Tolerances; Ulgorim, Hyxxis, Sorgott, Galvos, and Omnissi (Dark) due to single Tolerances; Water Spire and Faction Wars, whenever it is released!
We think Aethis is worth it for all players, since he will be a great generalist damage dealer. From our testing of the game so far, there is a big jump in power when upgrading your starter Invokers or Epic Invokers to Legendary ones!
Event Overview
When is it Live?
The Aethis Chase will run from the 9th of November to the 29th of November.
How many Crowns are Available?
There are 200 Crowns available from standard Tournaments during this Event.
There are additional Crowns available for winning certain Tournaments, and the developers sometimes drop surprise Events as well with extra Crowns up for grabs. These Crowns are unreliable though, so treat them as a bonus only.
The best strategy is to get 170 Crowns from the standard Tournaments, guaranteeing Aethis as a reward.
How do the Tournaments Work?
Unlike other games, earning points towards each Crown-rewarding task in the Aethis Chase Event is always available.
During the dedicated Tournaments for these tasks, such as Invoker Summon Surge or Ulgorim Relic Hunt, you will gain double points towards getting the Crowns. On top of this, you can double-dip and get great rewards from these individual Tournaments.
You should aim to spend your energy on whichever Tournaments are currently boosted with a 2x multiplier.
What Rewards are Available?

You can spend the Crowns you earn in the dedicated Aethis Chase Shop.
Aethis is the main reward, and can be purchased at any time for 170 Crowns. We always recommend getting Aethis if you can earn enough Crowns.
Other Rewards Worth Aiming For
If you can’t earn enough Crowns for Aethis (or if you earn extra!) then there are still good rewards available.
We recommend the Miracle Orb and Divine Star as the best rewards, giving you a chance at Legendary Titans or Invokers–if you can only get one, go for the Miracle Orb.
The Legendary Codex and Legendary Prism options are good too, to power up your skills–unlike the summoning rewards, we recommend picking up the Codex, as you will have lots of Invokers needing Codexes. The Epic Codex is well worth it too.
Tips for Completing the Aethis Chase
2x Events
Always focus on Events which are boosted with a 2X multiplier until you have completed their individual tournament.
Some events will run multiple times throughout the Chase, as indicated by the number of Crown Cards: there are 3 Gear Up Events, for example. If an Event will re-run in future, you do not need to earn all the Crowns during the first 2x boost (though you can if you wish!); waiting for the next Tournament can let you double-dip with extra rewards.
Gear Up is Tough
Gear Up is one of the most challenging events for new players.
Try to avoid upgrading any gear until the 2x boost for this event, since you can easily run out of Gold or Memorium.
Save Summons for Invoker Summon Surge and Titan Summon Surge
These two events require using Stars and Orbs to summon Invokers and Titans respectively.
These are very premium resources and you can easily fall short if you summon outside of the 2x event… Be patient and wait!
You can calculate exactly how many summons you need by checking the in-game event tab: they share the exact number of points per summon there!
Consider Skipping Titan Power Up
We consider Titan Power Up to be the hardest event, since it requires significant amounts of Titan Sparks (from Pentiax) as well as XP Potions (from Campaign, and everywhere else).
XP Potions are in massive demand for new accounts since you have so many Invokers requiring them, so it is hard to spare any for Titans other than Litria.
