AFK Arena Orthros Guide:

AFK Arena Orthros, known as “The Seer of Origins,” is a formidable Celestial hero specializing as a Strength-type Tank with Ascended rarity. Created by the heavenly carpenter Ansiel, Orthros is a sentient clock that not only tells time but controls its flow, wielding powerful temporal abilities that allow him to manipulate battles by reversing time. His story is deeply tied to the fate of light’s forces, having fought alongside Dura and intervened multiple times to alter outcomes before ultimately dedicating himself to preserving the integrity of time itself.

AFK Arena Orthros Guide: Skills

AFK Arena Orthros, the Seer of Origins, possesses a unique set of abilities that make him a formidable tank and debuffer on the battlefield. His skills revolve around manipulating time and disrupting enemy formations.

Time Suspension

At Level 1 Time Suspension allows Orthros to stop time for 3 seconds, freezing everything except himself as he attacks the weakest enemy at lightning speed, dealing 60% damage per attack.

At Level 81 damage is increased to 70%.

At Level 161 damage is increased to 80%.

Time Trap

At Level 11 Time Trap causes Orthros to set up time traps at the start of battle targeting the two nearest enemies, which explode within the first 20 seconds or when the affected enemy dies, dealing 320% AoE damage.

At Level 21 damage is increased to 360%.

At Level 101 enemies injured by the explosion are stunned for 3 seconds.

At Level 181 damage is increased to 400%.

Inertia

At Level 41 Inertia deals 200% damage to a single enemy target and prevents them from recovering energy for 9 seconds.

At Level 121 damage is increased to 220%.

At Level 201 damage is increased to 240%.

Celestial Vigor

At Level 61 Orthros’ max health increases by 2.5% per second up to a total of 150%, without affecting his current health ratio; Zolrath’s ‘Déjà vu’ ability does not affect this cumulative increase.

At Level 141, after 15 seconds of battle, Orthros recovers 3% of his max health per second.

At Level 221, after 30 seconds of battle, Orthros becomes immune to control abilities.

AFK Arena Orthros Guide: Signature Item

The Heavenly Vision

Crafted by the celestial carpenter, Ansiel, this heavenly timepiece has the ability to manipulate the flow of time and even stop it.

Skill: Time Warp

Reduces the Haste of enemies that get too close to Orthros by 30 points.

[+10 Unlocks] Reduces the Haste of enemies that get too close to Orthros by 45 points.

[+20 Unlocks] Reduces the Haste of enemies that get too close to Orthros by 60 points.

[+30 Unlocks] Enemies that remain too close to Orthros for more than 6 seconds will become frozen in time for 3 seconds.

The Signature Item should be a priority to upgrade to +30. The signature item’s ability to reduce enemy haste and freeze enemies makes AFK Arena Orthros more durable and allows him to survive longer in battle.

AFK Arena Orthros Guide: Lore

Orthros, known as The Seer of Origins, is a sentient timekeeper created by the divine carpenter Ansiel. He wasn’t built to merely track time but to govern its flow. Bestowed with the name Orthros, he became a guardian of the temporal stream, existing outside the normal passage of time.

During the ancient war against the Hypogeans, Orthros fought alongside the celestial goddess Dura. When she fell in battle, Orthros rewound time repeatedly, trying to save her and reverse the course of destruction. Despite his efforts, he eventually realized that some fates are immutable and thus withdrew from mortal conflicts to preserve the natural timeline.

He remained dormant until sensing a new, disruptive force manipulating time someone capable of twisting past and future for their own gain. Awakened once again, Orthros returned to action as the sole guardian of time, vowing to protect the balance of history and prevent any from tampering with it.
