A new hero in AFK Arena 1.28!

Talene’s blood became lava. Her wings radiated the heat of a sun and the air shimmered and waved around her. She shot toward the heavens in her new form, a celestial. Fire trailed behind her in an orange streak, warmly illuminating the very land she would save…

We have talked about her in the last AFK Arena article. She was assumed to be a new hero alongside others, and we were right. Read more about her skills at the end of the article!

Talene, The Rising Phoenix

Talene was an Obsidian Finch and she watched as her mother died to the demons she tried to fight back. So she decided to take on a journey to the Cradle and dive into it, to become a celestial and help the people of Esperia.

Her Skills

• Fire Born: Talene goes into ‘Phoenix’ form that lasts until death and converts 90% of her current health into a permanent shield of equal value, plus an additional extra permanent shield on top that is equal to 20% of her max health. Talene’s normal attacks will turn into close-range area attacks that deal 150% damage while in Phoenix form.
  • Level 81: Talene’s normal attacks deal additional damage that is equal to 20% of her ‘Fire Born’ shields’ remaining values.
  • Level 161: Additional shield is equal to 25% of Talene’s max health.
• Meteor Shower: Talene calls down a fiery meteorite that deals 200% damage to a single enemy target. When Talene is in Phoenix form, meteorites will continually fall randomly every 0.5 seconds upon random enemy targets for a certain duration of time.
  • Level 21: Damage increased by up to 240%.
  • Level 101: 30% of arrow damage is converted into health.
  • Level 181: Damage increased by up to 280%.
• Phoenix Rising: Every time Talene dies she transforms into a fireball. While in this state, Talene recovers 7% of her max health every second and cannot be targeted by her enemies but will still receive the positive effects of her allies’ abilities. Once Talene’s health reaches 50%, she is reborn, resulting in a brilliant explosion that deals 200% area damage to enemies. Talene’s Recovery Rate is reduced by 20% every subsequent time that she transforms into a fireball.
  • Level 121: Damage increased by up to 250%.
  • Level 201: Damage increased by up to 300%.
• Afterglow: A passive ability that allows for Talene’s 2 weakest allies to respectively recover 150% of Talene’s Attack Rating as health each time Talene cumulatively loses 10% of her max health.
  • Level 141: Health recovery increased by up to 200% of Attack Rating.
  • Level 221: Health recovery increased by up to 250% of Attack Rating.
