How to Maximize the Free Animus Resets

The Etheria: Restart team has responded to the backlash surrounding recent character changes, and this time, they’ve taken meaningful action.

Following a less-than-well-received developer post, a new reset event is launching that gives players the tools to correct past investments, especially those affected by nerfs and emergency fixes.

This article breaks down the reset system and offers a practical guide on how to use your three resets for maximum impact, especially if you’re gearing up for Inferno content.

Starting Monday, June 16, Etheria players will gain access to a revamped Animus Reconfiguration Event. Here’s what you need to know:

• You get three resets total
• The first reset is free
• The second and third require Hydra Crystals
• The event lasts 7 days, giving you ample time to test and rebuild.

This move is a direct response to community feedback, especially from players impacted by changes to units like Xiada, who no longer steals buffs in DokiDoki which was a commonly used strategy for clearing high stages. If you’ve invested in affected characters or want to pivot your plan, now’s your chance.

Resets are limited, so planning is crucial. Here are strategic ways to approach your reset options:

1. Reallocate Resources From Nerfed Units

2. Build or Test New Units for Inferno Farming

3. Optimize for Manual or Auto Runs

The reset event signals a positive shift in dev-player communication. It’s a second chance for players to rebuild without feeling penalised by emergency balance changes.

Use this event to:

• Test Inferno comps with less risk
• Reallocate resources into long-term investments
• Explore new units without permanently committing

Whether you’re pushing deep PvE content or climbing the PvP ladder, these resets are your ticket to smoother progression. Just be strategic—three resets go quickly, and there’s no guarantee this opportunity will come again soon.

Now’s the time to experiment, optimize, and take control of your builds.
