Snakes… why did it have to be snakes? The Gorgonides, the serpentine scoundrels led by the bedazzling Avatar Akonita, have returned and set their sights on Aelion once again. Can you push back their advance? The Gorgonide Invasion begins on July 21.

The third and fourth Distortion Generals, Operative Secutor Focus and Retharius Commander Legatus, are now available to challenge until the end of the Invasion and you can see which rewards you’ll get by checking the Adventure card.



The Scouting Squad’s Tactician fights with time and space itself in the form of portals, energy manipulation and teleportation. Attacks are usually ranged and are capable of hitting several Immortals at a time. The Rethiarius fights more defensively and is a tough one to crack with its many shields. If you want more information so you can go in completely prepared, get to grips with their abilities.

For completing them, you will get Epic gear of the current generation—Epic Artifacts from the third one, and Epic Weapons from the fourth. The fourth, Retharius Commander, also gives a Chest of Ancient Gods, which contains a Legendary weapon for your current class. Both Distortions will also drop Marks of the King.



If you need a quick boost to help you get stronger and complete these Distortions, consider purchasing the Invasion Pass, which has premium rewards including more Knowledge of Enemies, credits, and Argents.

The flagship of the Invasion has also landed and is a maze of Mechanoids. There are ten bosses scattered throughout the ship looking to sabotage your efforts and make sure you never see the light of day again. This 5-person Adventure may sound daunting, but you’ll be out in no time if you work together.



Potential rewards for successfully navigating and clearing the Flagship are:

  • Epic Artifact
  • Epic Weapon
  • Equipment Container
  • Marks of Assassin
  • Marks of Judge
  • Marks of Sage


Marks are upgrade materials with which you can increase equipment quality, upgrade items from Epic to Mythic, and improve the integrity of your Mythical equipment. Marks of the King are used for specific pieces of gear.

Necromancers are ranged DPS (damage per second) casters that use a Scythe and their own life force, which they convert into Necrotic Energy while casting spells. They can later use that built up necrotic energy to prevent their own death. It is quite unique in that it cannot move and attack like other ranged classes, so it plays a bit more like a melee class.



SOLO & TEAM PLAY
When facing enemies on the weaker side, begin by placing Cursed Land on them, which will slow and shackle them inside the area of effect. Follow this up by taking your Summoning Stance—in this stance, the Necromancer gains access to three summoning abilities, each able to summon different Ghostly minions with their own unique abilities and purpose. Select the Summon: Ghostly Skeleton ability to call a Skeleton Archer to your side that will shower enemies in an area around your target with arrows. In the meantime, the Necromancer can use its death magic to cast Hellfire, and finish off any stragglers with either Ritual Strike, which will give your companion a chance to attack as well, or with Skull Throw.

TIP: The Necromancer can use Possession to heal the summoned minion and increase its power if they deem it necessary.

When facing particularly strong enemies, begin with Summoning Stance and depending on the enemy, use either Summon: Ghostly Skeleton or Summon: Ghostly Carrion. Ghostly Skeleton will automatically target the enemy even if it’s moving while Ghostly Carrion will do more damage to a single enemy. If that enemy is mobile, the carrion will have a hard time keeping up, as it is a slow melee attacker. Follow this up with Possession to increase the summoned minion’s power, then apply Plague Storm to the enemy. Use Skull Throw for some additional damage, then continue to reapply Plague Storm while also using Ritual Strike in between so your companion can also get in on the action.



The Necromancer is known affectionately as “the immortal class” due to its great survivability and its powerful Lich Form. If you get into a sticky situation, distract surrounding enemies with Summon: Ghostly Vipers, which enhances the Necromancer’s defenses by reducing the amount of incoming damage they take from all sources. If this isn’t quite enough, you can open a Rift of Horror which will unleash spirits of fear that will possess enemies and make them flee for their lives. Shadow of the Past is another tool a Necromancer can use and is a statue that will preserve the Necromancer’s current state at the time of casting, and after some time restore it (even if you gain more HP, it will still revert to your previous state).

Last but not least, when the Necromancer’s life leaves its body, it takes on a Lich Form. While in Lich Form you will gain two new abilities: Sickening Nightmare and Volley of Darkness, and when used in unison, these abilities steal the life force of enemies and restore it to you. Use Sickening Nightmare to apply an effect of the same name on the enemy, then strike with Volley of Darkness to knock enemies back and recover 10% of your life for each stack of Sickening Nightmare applied to all enemies hit by Volley of Darkness.

TIP: Multiple enemies with one stack each will heal the same amount as a single enemy with many stacks.

The Necromancer is still not done, and you can use Ghostly Flow to restore your Lich Form immediately and also recover your Necrotic Energy (Note: Necrotic Energy increases the duration of Lich Form, that is its only purpose), so if the Necromancer is to fall a second time, they will rise a second time. Ghostly Flow also summons three Ghastly Ghouls which can attack and distract enemies, so you can choose to use it offensively or defensively.

TIP: Necrotic Energy serves to only increase the duration of Lich Form.



ATTRIBUTES
As a DPS class, trusty damage-enhancing stats like Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance work well.

The damage is increased by 40% for every enemy killed with the ability, up to a 200% damage bonus.

Shadow of the Past
Creates a magic statue. After 5 seconds, it pulls the Necromancer towards it and restores their health to the amount they had at the time the ability was used.
Sickening Nightmare
Deals X damage to the enemy and restores health to the Necromancer every second for 10 seconds. Stacks up to 20 times.
Volley of Darkness
Deals X damage and knocks enemies back. The Necromancer recovers health in proportion to the number of flies released by Sickening Nightmare. The ability is available in PvE adventures only.
Ghostly Flow
Summons 3 waves of ghosts that deal X damage to all enemies in their path, and 3 cursed Carrions that will fight on the Necromancer's side for 20 seconds. Victims of Ghostly Flow have their current abilities interrupted as they are stunned for 1 second and immobilized. They then slowly recover their movement speed over the next 15 seconds. Generates 11 points of Necrotic Energy and reduces the cooldown of the Lich form by 6 seconds for each affected enemy for each of the 3 waves of ghosts.
