Playstyle & Rotation Aeona Fellowship Hero Guide

Playstyle Overview

Aeona revolves around utilizing her unique mechanic: Aura of Deferred Fate. It smooths out her allies' damage intake. With this passive effect, all damage you and your allies take is split into two portions:

1. The initial hit (50%)
2. A delayed portion (50%) that deals damage to you every 3 seconds over 15 seconds

Aura of Deferred Fate converts 50% of damage taken into that delayed effect, essentially reducing the initial damage taken of anything by 50%. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve reduced the amount of overall damage you’ll take, you’ve just delayed it.

Alongside Aura of Deferred Fate, Aeona manages two resources: Mana and Chrona.

Mana functions as her primary resource and is spent on most abilities, while Chrona is generated through her builder spells and acts as the core of her gameplay loop.

Chrona can be spent in two ways:

• For healing, Amend Fate and Restore Continuity remove 50% of the accumulated delayed damage and heal for the amount cleansed.
• For damage, Oblivion spends that resource on a powerful burst of damage.

Rotation

Aeona’s gameplay revolves around dealing damage to heal. All of her damaging abilities convert a portion of their damage into healing, but only heal the lowest health ally. The only exception is Oblivion, which heals the entire party and is therefore the centerpiece of Aeona’s gameplay.

Your goal is to generate Chrona efficiently through your main builders and then spend it well.

Main Builders

• Unfolding Doom - 30 Chrona
• Entropy's Claim - 36 Chrona (the tooltip is incorrect; it currently grants 6 Chrona per tick, not 4)
• Temporal Barrage - 20 Chrona
• Fleeting Hour - 60 Chrona with Surging Chrona (tooltip bug: displays 30)

You also have Time Shard and Flash Revision. Both generate 5 Chrona, but are mostly low-value fillers that you only use when your stronger builders are unavailable.

Echoes Of Ruin is a damage-over-time effect that is rarely worth pressing in normal gameplay, since it does not generate Chrona. It can still be a decent filler while moving, or when you want to tag an enemy.

Main Spenders

• Oblivion - 30 Chrona
• Amend Fate - 30 Chrona
• Restore Continuity - 50 Chrona

A large part of efficient Chrona management is playing around Uchronia, which makes every fourth Chrona spender free. Whenever possible, you want to use those free casts on Restore Continuity, because it costs the most Chrona.

In practice, Aeona’s rotation is about keeping your important builders on cooldown, spending Chrona efficiently, and minimizing filler casts. The closer you get to a loop where you are mostly rotating builders and spenders without needing Time Shard or Flash Revision, the better your gameplay will feel.

Your core loop stays the same as you gear up, but it becomes more efficient with more Crit. Early on, you often need extra Time Shards to generate enough Chrona. As your Crit rises, your main builders generate more Chrona through crits, letting you spend more globals on your builder-spender loop and fewer on fillers.

Basic Rules

ABC: Always be casting. When in doubt, Time Shard or Flash Revision. You want to be generating as much Chrona as possible and to do so we need to always be doing something to aid that. It’s important to learn what generates Chrona and what doesn’t to ensure you’re not falling behind and unable to cleanse any built up Stagger.

Keep important Crona builders on cooldown: Temporal Barrage and Entropy's Claim are rotational spells with short cooldowns, make sure you’re using these frequently as well as Unfolding Doom and Fleeting Hour.

Avoid Wasting Chrona: it is our only way to cleanse Stagger. It’s important that you’re not overcapping this, unless you’re holding it for an expected damage event.

Mana Management

Aeona’s mana economy is heavily influenced by your gameplay, so managing mana well starts with understanding how her kit works. All of her builder spells cost mana, while her spender spells cost no mana. Restore Continuity and Amend Fate even restore mana based on the amount of stagger cleansed.

This makes efficient Chrona spending a key part of mana management, especially when deciding whether to use Amend Fate or Restore Continuity for mana return and healing, instead of defaulting to Oblivion too often.

This also means that encounters with little stagger to cleanse will often feel more mana intensive, since you gain less mana back from your cleanses in those situations.

If mana becomes an issue, you can address it in two ways. Chrona Tap is the talent option and provides a substantial increase to mana regeneration. If you do not want to change your talents, Chalice Of Al'zerac's Essence is a solid relic alternative.

Utility

Revert Magic - This is Aeona's Dispel ability. This should be used on any dispellable debuffs when possible.

Fleeting Hour - A simple 20 second cooldown that grants you 50% Cooldown Acceleration for 15 seconds. The tooltip is currently bugged and says 20 seconds. Super useful for having more access to your CD's, allowing you more throughput and more utility overall.

Intercession - Instantly silence up to 8 enemies in the target area for 7 seconds. This is a really powerful AoE CC tool. Baseline it's a 5 minute cooldown, but you can reduce this a lot in combination with Fleeting Hour. It is a little inconsistent and unreliable with what enemies it silences if there are a lot of enemies, but it's still solid.

Ultimate Ability

Epoch Break - This is Aeona's Ultimate ability. It's effectively a group wide immunity for 6 seconds, where all incoming damage is stored in your Stagger instead of being taken normally. While it’s active, your abilities cost no Mana or Chrona. Afterward, you gain 30% Haste and 600% Mana recovery for 20 seconds. This makes it a strong tool to save the group and refill mana.

You can fit 6 casts into your Epoch Break Window. Use the first 4-5 casts on Oblivion and the last 1-2 casts on Restore Continuity to clear any accumulated Stagger in the end.

Ideally, you should plan Epoch Break for a specific boss mechanic rather than using it reactively. The 30% Haste afterward is a major throughput increase and can help smooth out some of the most dangerous parts of a boss fight or trash pull. Avoid using Fleeting Hour during Epoch Break, or shortly before it, since its cooldown acceleration is wasted while your cooldowns are frozen.

One of the most basic, but important things you can do in Fellowship is mark specific targets or locations. In the input settings you will notice you have the ability to keybind “Mark Unit” and “Mark location”. These can be exceptionally useful for designating targets to kill or important stack points on bosses.

Interrupts

Interrupts are extremely important in Fellowship. Being able to track your party’s interrupt cooldowns makes a huge difference in many dungeons. This matters even more on Aeona, since you can support the group with an AoE silence through Intercession.

Buffs & Debuffs

Buffs in Fellowship are extremely important for your gameplay decisions, for example Uchronia. Unfortunately the base UI doesn’t place the display of these in a great location. As a result, I’d recommend moving them closer to the middle of your screen using the “EDIT HUD” feature in the game menu.

If you want to use the same setup I play with, you can import my UI directly. The import string and a screenshot example are provided below.
