All Heroes can use Aristeia during combat in A Total War Saga: Troy. When activated, they are given a variety of abilities to increase their combat abilities, making them a formidable force to face on the battlefield and boost the morale of your troops. It's a great way to boost morale on your side, giving your chosen hero the chance to deal untold damage. Accessing this ability can be a bit tricky.
What does the Aristeia ability do?
Here is the full detail of what the Aristeia ability does for your hero:
- No cooldown for any of your abilities
- Your hero heals for 25 health per second
- They receive 20% more armor
- They receive 30% more melee attack
- Their freezing endurance increases
- Their unbreakable rises
It takes a long time for the Aristeia ability gauge to grow in battle. When you have it, you want to use it immediately. This is a good way to push the enemy back or overwhelm them before your forces take additional casualties. You don't want to delay the battle to activate it. If the combat has lasted long enough to warrant its use, move your hero forward to fight the enemy's weaker units.
How to increase your Aristeia counter
Your hero's Aristeia gauge increases throughout the fight, increasing as his rage gauge increases and the more abilities he uses. Your hero's rage increases as he fights enemies, and your hero's ability requires some rage to activate. Because of the amount of combat you can handle with your hero, you want to put him at the heart of the fight, fighting your troops side by side and making sure they see the toughest of fights.
