When a Mythic Hero and a Chosen Hero are placed on the same team in Aether Raids during their season, the Chosen Hero will gain the Mythic Effect of the Mythic Hero, just as a Hero bestowed with the corresponding blessing does.

Chosen Heroes can receive the following Mythic Effects in Aether Raids:

・ Stat increases dependent on the Mythic Hero on the team.
・ Boost in Aetheric Lift acquisition for successful attacks.
・ Decrease in Aetheric Lift loss for defense failures.
・ Enables special slot for offensive and defensive teams.
・ Enables reinforcement slot for offensive and defensive teams.

■ New skills have been added for some Mythic Heroes

Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary & Mythic Hero Remixes, Fomortiis: Demon King and Seiðr: Goddess of Hope have gained new skills.

○ New skills

・ A Skill
Nightmare+
If unit can transform, transformation effects
gain “if unit is within 2 spaces of a beast or
dragon ally, or if number of adjacent allies
other than beast or dragon allies ≤ 2” as
a trigger condition (in addition to existing
conditions).

If defending in Aether Raids, at the start of
enemy turn 1, if conditions for transforming
are met, unit transforms.

Inflicts Atk/Def-10 on foe, neutralizes foe’s
bonuses to Atk/Def, reduces damage from
foe’s first attack by 30% (“first attack” normally
means only the first strike; for effects that grant
“unit attacks twice,” it means the first and
second strikes), reduces damage from foe’s
first attack by an additional 15 (“first attack”
normally means only the first strike; for effects
that grant “unit attacks twice,” it means the first
and second strikes), and grants Special
cooldown count-2 to unit before foe’s first
attack during combat.

If foe initiates combat, after combat, the
closest foes within 4 spaces of target who
have yet to act have their actions end
immediately.
This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

・ B Skill

Assault Fighter
If unit initiates combat or is within 3 spaces of
an ally, inflicts Atk/Def-4 on foe, deals damage
= 20% of unit’s Def (excluding area-of-effect
Specials), reduces damage from foe’s attacks
by 20% of unit’s Def (excluding area-of-effect
Specials), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up
attack, and reduces the percentage of foe’s
non-Special “reduce damage by X%” skills by
50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect
Specials).

・ B Skill

Def/Res Shackle
At start of turn, and after unit acts (if Canto
triggers, after Canto), inflicts【Def Shackle】
and【Res Shackle】on closest foes and foes
within 2 spaces of those foes through their
next actions.

Inflicts Def/Res-4 on foe and deals damage
= number of【Penalty】effects active on foe,
excluding stat penalties, × 2, + 7 during combat
(max 15; excluding area-of-effect Specials).

【Def Shackle】
Inflicts penalty on unit’s Def during combat =
number of【Penalty】effects active on unit + 4,
excluding stat penalties (max 8; through unit’s
next action).

【Res Shackle】
Inflicts penalty on unit’s Res during combat =
number of【Penalty】effects active on unit + 4,
excluding stat penalties (max 8; through unit’s
next action).

【Penalty】
All effects that last “on foe through its next
action.” Includes penalties inflicted by a skill
like Panic or Threaten and negative status
effects (preventing counterattacks, restricting
movement, or the effects of a skill like
Triangle Adept or Guard).

・ C Skill
Future-Focused+
Enables【Canto (Dist.; Max ３, Min １)】.

After foes’ start-of-turn skills trigger, for the
closest foes in cardinal directions of unit, if
unit’s Res ≥ foe’s Res+X (X = distance from
unit to foe × 3, -5) and【Time’s Grip】is not
active on foe, that foe’s action ends
immediately and inflicts【Time’s Grip】and
【Panic】on that foe.

For unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns
centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5,
neutralizes penalties, and reduces damage
from foe’s attacks by 7 during combat
(excluding area-of-effect Specials), and
restores 7 HP to unit or ally after combat.

Unit deals +7 damage (including area-of-effect
Specials), and reduces the percentage of foe’s
non-Special “reduce damage by X%” skills by
50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect
Specials).

【Canto (Dist.; Max ３, Min １)】
After an attack, Assist skill, or structure
destruction, unit can move spaces = number
of spaces from start position to end position
unit moved prior to taking action (max ３;
min １; if unit used a movement skill
that warped them, unit can move １ space(s).)

【Time’s Grip】
Inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 during combat.
Neutralizes unit’s skills during allies’ combat
through unit’s next action.

【Panic】
Converts bonuses on unit into penalties through
its next action.

This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.
