Overall Hero Rating

How scoring works
4.65 / 10 Rank 76

Can sharpen a team's damage, but fragile defences and specialised partnerships limit her appeal.

Guild Raid 2.0 / 10

Offers critical-hit support in budget multi-hit teams, but her value depends on the lineup and is limited in current top-end raids.

Guild War 5.0 / 10

Teams featuring Aethana clear 62.0% of Meds Up attacks across equally weighted battlefields, with an established attacking Meta bonus.

Horde 4.5 / 10

Wide damage and critical buffs improve ranged clearing thresholds, but fragility and limited sustain make Aethana a supporting specialist.

Popularity 6.09 / 10

Planner investment: 72.5% at Gold I or higher, 21.3% at Diamond I or higher and 0.2% at Adamantine II.

Deep Strike

This unit starts the battle in Deep Strike. Units in Deep Strike can move to any free hex on the battlefield that is not adjacent to an enemy, but then cannot perform ranged attacks until the end of their turn, or they can move normally from their current position. Units in Deep Strike cannot be targeted or damaged until they have taken an action or ended their turn.
