In order to maximize the chance to be the winner of every battle, you should learn about Heroes’ attack skills to strategically set up your team. Therefore, this #4 wiki article of AETHR about HEROES’ SKILLS will be “The Guide” for you.

THE BASICS, STATS, AND EFFECTS

There are a few basic (and super important) things you need to remember: Each hero will possess 1 of 15 skills (to this moment) randomly when minted, no matter what race your hero is. You can upgrade the skill to become stronger/more effective but you CAN NOT change your hero’s skill.

When looking at a skill, other than its simple in-game description, you should go on AETHR web to see the following stats to later upgrade and choose your heroes wisely. These stats will explain to you in detail how effective it is, considering its total damage and attack speed:

  • Damage: total damage inflicted by your hero in one turn
  • Bullet damage: the damage inflicted by each bullet (if your hero shoots multiple bullets). Not every hero shoots multiple ones
  • Attack speed: how fast/slow your hero attacks
  • Bullet speed: how fast/slow each bullet travels
You can see these basic stats of your hero’s attack on the AETHR website

Apart from those stats, your hero’s attack skill might also have all, either or none of these special effects:

  • Auto-aim: the bullet will automatically aim at your enemies. Once your hero saw the enemy, it will attack with a 100% hit rate. If your enemy was locked but died before the bullet reached it, the bullet will seek another enemy to kill.
  • Piercing: the bullet inflicts damage to all enemies that it passes through. The bullet can either go straight through the enemies or give an explosion that will inflict damage to more than just 1 enemy.
You can see the Auto Aim/Piercing effect in your hero tab in-game

THE SKILL LIST

For Part 1, let’s start exploring the first 3 skills of the “Poison” skill family:

  • Poison Nova
  • Toxic Bomb
  • Poison Sting

1. POISON NOVA

  • Description: The hero spews a series of poisonous spikes that radiate at a fan-shaped diagonal angle, gradually expanding angle as the bullets go further from the hero.
  • Auto-aim: No
  • Piercing: Yes
  • Damage: Each projectile cost the 2nd greatest damage in the Poison Group, only after Toxic Bomb.

2. TOXIC BOMB

  • Description: Throws toxic balls that explode at the landing points and deal AoE damage.
  • Auto-aim: No
  • Piercing: No
  • Damage: Heroes only shot 1 bullet, so projectile will cost the most damage compared to the other two skills.

3. POISON STING

  • Description: Fires continuous poison projectiles randomly forward at a 45-degree angle.
  • Auto-aim: No
  • Piercing: No
  • Damage: Each projectile cost the least damage in this group, but offset, it has the fastest bullet speed.
