You can alter your monsters by replacing their Signature Traits, Types or Elements. Make sure to pay attention to the Corruption from Monster Infusion...

Eidos & Eidolon and Dullahan - the two (or three?) new Champions

Eidos & Eidolon invite you to ponder the relationship between superficial appearances and the deeper truths hidden underneath. While Eidos buffs its allies, Eidolon is able to access the consumed buff stacks and bring them back from the afterlife. The pair functions as a heavily support-focused monster that is also able to unleash powerful attacks - quite a unique play style.

Signature Trait: Eidolon: Whenever a buff on another ally gets consumed, except for Redirect or Cooking: Stores a dormant copy of that buff on Eidolon, up to a limit of 7. Awaken can be used once this limit is reached.

Awaken: Costs Earth/Earth/Fire/Fire Aether. Awakens all of the dormant buffs on Eidos and then deals an attack to target enemy, immediately benefitting from the awakened buffs.

The newest monster in Aethermancer comes two in one! Eidos & Eidolon are the new Champion monster of Garden District.

Dullahan allows no rest for the wicked! Dullahan allows you to build up the perfect fortress to weather the storm - and then punish your opponents’ foolish attempts to attack you! A welcome addition for defensive Shield- and Tank-focused parties, but with some interactions with Affliction and Purge as well.

Signature Trait

Bane of the Living: Aura: Whenever damage is dealt to an ally’s Shield: Applies 1 Bane to the Attacker for every 3 damage.

On Action of an enemy

Applies 1 Bane to that enemy.Reapercan be used once an enemy has 13 or more Bane.

Reaper

Costs 1 Wild Aether and allows you to choose from one of three devastating Actions, which may easily turn the tide of combat.

Dullahan will await you in Forbidden Fortress as an alternative Champion!

Epic Artifacts

The artifacts you use in battle to help your monsters can now be Epic Artifacts.

Unlimited Worthiness

The Worthiness level bar of your monsters that was previously limited to Level V is now unlimited (and grants you Aether Crystals with every Worthiness level)! Show off your favorite monsters' Worthiness levels and how much you have played with them.

Also, your monsters now get special rewards for Worthiness Level IV and Level V:

• Worthiness IV gives 1 Corruption Cleanse to your monster

• Worthiness V gives +25% Maverick Chance on Level up and also you might want to check Pilgrim's Rest ...
