Atheus – Pride of Arbor’s Skills
Torrent Hunt
Atheus waves his Deercrown Staff, unleashing a torrential siege with the area most concentrated with enemies as the target area. The torrential siege deals AoE damage to enemies in its path for 300% of his Attack Rating and stops upon reaching the target area. After stopping, the torrential siege knocks the enemies in the target area back slightly, toward the center of the area, and stuns them briefly. Then, Atheus generates a beast cage lasting 12 seconds at the target location. Any enemy that tries to leave the beast cage takes damage equal to 170% of Atheus’ Attack Rating and is knocked back slightly and stunned briefly. This effect can be triggered against each enemy up to 1 times every second. When an enemy leaves the cage, their Tenacity is reduced by 30 points for 5 seconds. Only 1 beast cage may exist at a time during a battle.
Lvl 2: A torrential siege deals damage to enemies in its path for 350% of Atheus’ Attack Rating. Any enemy that tries to leave a beast cage takes damage equal to 220% of Atheus’ Attack Rating.
Lvl 3: If the Tenacity of an enemy in the beast cage is lower than Atheus’ Insight, every 1 point of difference increases damage suffered by the enemy by 1%, up to 80%.
Spiritwood Blessing
When using some of his skills, Atheus earns Wood Protection, which can be stacked up to 3 times. When receiving damage from a single attack that exceeds 10% of his max health, Atheus can spend 1 stack of Wood Protection to resist this damage. Once he has acquired the maximum stacks of Wood Protection, any more Wood Protection received will be converted into 5% of his max health. Atheus uses his Deercrown Staff and Oakshield Arm alternately to carry out normal attacks: When using the Oakshield Arm to attack, he earns 1 stack of Wood Protection; When using the Deercrown Staff to attack, he stuns the enemy for 0.5 seconds.
Lvl 2: Once he has acquired the maximum stacks of Wood Protection, any more Wood Protection received will be converted into 10% of his max health.
Lvl 3: Wood Protection can be stacked up to 6 times.
Lvl 4: When Atheus possesses Wood Protection, damage he receives will not be immediately calculated and will instead be calculated once after it cumulatively exceeds 25% of his max health. Aftera one-time calculation is triggered for 2 seconds, damage received will accumulate again.
Purging Evil
Atheus taps the ground with his Deercrown Staff, unleashing a cleansing deluge that deals damage to nearby enemies for 330% of his Attack Rating and inflicts spiritual stagnation on them for 5 seconds. When under spiritual stagnation, damage dealt by an enemy is reduced by 25%. Each time Atheus inflicts spiritual stagnation on 1 enemy, he receives 1 stacks of Wood Protection.
Lvl 2: While under spiritual stagnation, damage dealt by an enemy is reduced by 40%.
Lvl 3: The duration of spiritual stagnation is increased to 8 seconds.
Lvl 4: Any beast cage on the battlefield deals the effects of cleansing deluge within its range.
Nature’s Breakthrough
Atheus leans over, strikes the ground with his Oakshield Arm, and induces the enchanted wood to break out of the ground, dealing damage to nearby enemies for 260% of his Attack Rating and stunning them for 4 seconds.
Lvl 2: At the end of the skill, Atheus receives 1 stacks of Wood Protection.
