Apeiron – How To Play ‘The Fury’ Tempest Avatar

Apeiron is the world’s first NFT god game x roguelite. Players will take on the role of godlings – newborn gods – and explore the godiverse while piloting their divine Avatar, which will draw its power from the elemental archetypes of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.

The season 2 demo launched this summer with a host of new content and is now available for download on the Epic Store. The following guide will introduce you to one of the currently playable 3 Avatar classes and how to get the most out of them. They’re The Fury, The Fate and The Wisdom. In this guide, we’ll go through everything you need to know and how to play Tempest Avatar – The Fury.

The Tempest Fury is arguably the best avatar at dealing with waves of enemies in the early game due to their high-damage CC abilities. With beefy base stats, good CC, damage reflection, and high damage output, the Fury is a force to be reckoned with.

Skills

SkillLevelDescriptionStrengthsWeaknesses
Cyclonic Spinstrike Core Skill“Spins to AoE damage then: moves faster, spins longer, and enemies knocked up.”+ Available from the start of the game.

+ Spin to win. Easy to use.

+ Great CC.

+ Increases your movement speed.

+ Good damage, sweeping enemies during early and mid-game.
– Weak against bosses.
ThunderstrikeLvl. 10“Big slash with AoE aftereffect, gives enemies debuff to take more damage.”+ Huge amount of targeted AoE damage.

+ Take advantage of its long-range ability to snipe down enemies in the back.

+ AI won’t dodge the strike in PvE during S2, thus the skill usually brings down squishy enemies with a single hit.
– Useful only when enemies are queued up, might not be useful in future PvP scenarios.

– Slow speed makes it hard to hit sometimes, especially during boss fights.

– Thin hitbox makes it a very precise move – it can be easy to miss if you are panicking
Tornado Blast Lvl. 10“4 damaging wind blades make big DoT AoE tornado, tornado sucks inward.”+ Max HP% damage is good against bosses.

+ The pulling effect gathers enemies in preparation for another AoE damage skill.
– Slightly difficult to manage for beginners as it requires aiming and precise timing.

– Relatively insignificant damage during normal battles.
Hurricane SlamLvl. 20“Unstoppably charges, knocking aside, then knocks up target and damages in expanding AoE, Apostles get energy.”+ Immobilizes the greatest threat in the enemy team, such as Hunters or Mages.

+ Deals true damage, useful in countering Guardians, Warriors, and bosses.

+ Decent AoE damage.
– High mana cost. Equip mana generating Artifacts.
 

Apostles / Team Comps

Deck 1: Normal/Elite Battles – Priest Cheese

PriestCircle o’ HealingSpawns healing circle, healing allies over time.
PriestCircle o’ HealingSpawns healing circle, healing allies over time.
PriestCircle o’ HealingSpawns healing circle, healing allies over time.
PriestAlmost-vincibleAll allies become almost invulnerable for a moment, then healed.

The Priests’ Almost-vincible stalls and Circle o’ Healing rapidly heals the Fury’s lost HP while he’s tanking on the frontline. Taking constant damage will energize his signature skill – Rebounding Wind Sigil – giving him a chance to do even more damage while tanking. This team comp has relatively slow damage output but is pretty unkillable, best for grinding the late game through pure attrition.

 

Deck 2: Boss Battles – Comfy Comp

PriestAura of AwesomenessTarget allied Apostle gets an energy-generating aura and heals nearby allies instantly.
PriestCircle o’ HealingSpawns healing circle, healing allies over time.
HunterHeadshotCharges up then shoots arrow, infinite range and piercing, deals damage.
HunterHawkeyeChoose an ally. Your next card will be drawn among its skills in the deck. Additionally, the targeted ally will receive a 30% bonus attack speed and a 30% bonus critical chance for 8 seconds.

The Hunters are key to this strategy. They shoot arrows from afar using Headshot, pumping out DPS from the backline while relying on the Fury to shield them. They can also use Hawkeye to help the Fury find those valuable Avatar skill cards. Priests are there just to give everyone some breathing room. A comfy comp for the lazy gamer.

 

PvP Deck – Extra Tuff

GuardianMost Awesome AegisGives a shield for itself and everyone.
GuardianCastle GuardDashes to the target location and taunts enemies.

HunterHawkeyeChoose an ally. Your next card will be drawn among its skills in the deck. Additionally, the targeted ally will receive a 30% bonus attack speed and a 30% bonus critical chance for 8 seconds.

In PvP, Hunters become vulnerable to the attacks of enemy Rogues. As tough as nails, the Guardians and The Fury prevent enemy Rogues from getting close to other allies with shields and CC. Take advantage of the extra toughness, and then let your Hunters get down to business.

 

Alternative PvP Deck – Breakdance Time

WarriorIce Cold ArmorCreates a cold aura around self, slowing and damaging enemies.
WarriorIce Cold ArmorCreates cold aura around self, slowing and damaging enemies.
WarriorLast Dood StandingAttacks now cleave and stun. If the target is slowed or stunned, double damage. If hits Avatar, more damage
RogueBlade BreakdancingDashes to target location and deals AoE damage.

The combination of Ice Cold Armor and Last Dood Standing allows constant CC and a big damage increase. With the frontline stunned, your Rogue can sneak into the enemy backline and execute high-priority targets with Blade Breakdancing. As The Fury and the Warriors have relatively high HP stats, you don’t have to worry about their survival and can focus on microing the Rogue.
