Althera

Althera is a Fate-inspired progression mod: summon an anime hero who fights at your side, levels up with you and grows into the core of your journey. Each hero has a class, a signature attack and an Ultimate, all powered by the mana you build as you play.

✨ Features

• 🌟 Hero summoning: pick your first hero and call them with a single key
• ⚔️ Classes: Saber, Lancer, Caster, Assassin, each strong against some and weak against others
• 📈 Progression: heroes gain XP from your fights and level up to 50
• 💥 Ultimates: one devastating skill per hero, once per day
• 🔱 Command Seals: Overdrive, Revive and Heal, three charges a day
• 👑 Nobles: enemy mages with heroes of their own, guarding shrines across the Overworld
• 📦 Datapack support: heroes, classes, attacks, Ultimates and enemy mages are all defined in JSON

🦸 Heroes

Zaya

Rarity: EX · Class: Caster

A flame-sworn mage in crimson and gold whose staff carries a fire that has never gone out.

…and many more. 4 heroes to summon today, with new ones joining as their models, textures and animations are finished. Meet them all on the Heroes wiki page.

🎮 How to Play

• On your first login, choose your hero on the Choose your Hero screen
• Press H to summon your companion (hold H to summon it disguised)
• Press G to open the hero screen: live stats, a details panel and every setting (gear tab)
• Tap R to mark a target for your hero; hold R to open the Command Seal wheel and cast Overdrive, Revive or Heal
• Press U to unleash your hero’s Ultimate

Your summon consumes mana while active and gains experience by defeating mobs. If it runs out of mana, wait until half your mana is back to summon it again.
When dismissed, it enters spirit form, regenerates faster, and grants Resistance I.

All keys can be changed in Options → Controls (Althera category).
If your summon ever gets stuck, use /althera_hero unstuck.

🆕 Latest Update (v4.2.0): Hero Insight

• Skill timers: see every running Command Seal and Ultimate, green while active, red on cooldown
• Live hero stats: health, damage, armor and speed with every buff and debuff, plus a details panel with class matchups
• All settings in the hero screen gear tab (G), and the Ultimate as a golden sword on the hero HUD
• Valka’s own Ultimate: Tempest Charge, a teal charge with a lancer’s knockback
