Best Troop Types
Flying Units and Magic Units are the key with him. If you haven’t expertised him and not run him with Theia, you can just take regular Magic Units as the extra healing won’t matter much, but after all you want to run him with flying magic units – and that means League of Order needs to be your faction to run him at his full potential.
Best Hero Pairing for Atheus
Theia
Liliya
Velyn
Waldyr
Alwyn
Pan
Indis
Theia is obviously the hero pairing with Atheus that makes most sense as both are about flying units so you can run them with any faction and get the bonus from their skills – I’d prefer running Atheus as the primary commander in the legion for the Magic Tree and the rage accumulation with Theia as the secondary providing her shield and applying her buffs (See full build here).
Liliya also makes a great pairing and you want to use Liliya primary to have the Skill Tree for a lot of rage, add more rage from Atheus 2nd skill and then spam their active skill dealing a lot of damage plus have the mage synergy (See full build here).
Velyn works similar to Liliya but you can use the control tree with Velyn primary and lock down targets and silence them while having a lot of great synergy bringing Magic Units (See full build here).
Waldyr is also a setup I like as you have basically a epic version of Velyn here that works really well with Atheus (See full build here).
Alwyn also Alwyn is an option, Atheus can be a secondary commander to every meta mage hero in Call of Dragons (See full build here).
Pan can help make Atheus a tanky legion and if we talk synergies here they should absolutely be a prat of it, although not the vraziest pairing overall compared to the other ones (See full build here).
Indis also works in a supportive way here but I feel this is more a pair you want to find synergies in and they can work, I wouldn’t really recommend it (See full build here).
Best Artifacts
Let’s now take a look at the numerous artifacts that you can possible use. We have tested many of them and some have amazing synergy and others are more in for the stats but no matter what artifacts you have possibly available, you will find the one that works best. Please also check out the full tier list of all artifacts here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.

Phoenix Eye is the other meta artifact for magic units and you really sometimes want that big damage to deal although I feel this is a little overkill to equip on Atheus. Infernal Flame is the other meta artifact for magic units and you really sometimes want that big damage to deal although I feel this is a little overkill to equip on Atheus.
Best Pet Synergies For Atheus (NEW)
With the new war pet system in Call of Dragons it’s aso important to pair Atheus with the right pet to gain more synergies. Please also check out the full tier list of all war pets in Call of Dragons here to see which ones are worth the invest in general.
Sapphire Faedrake
is just so good with magic units that you can't do much wrong with running it on Atheus as war pet

Sand Lizard
is on the other side here and provides the healing you want and is the other war pet I can recommend with Atheus

Best Builds For Atheus
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Atheus that make sense when running as the primary commander in any legion in Call of Dragons. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.
Let’s start with the mobility talent build that I really like as you will start chasing down enemy legions in the open field like crazy as you’re fast. After you unlocked the core node, go into the Mobility Tree and make your way into Preemptive Preparations. The way this works is whenever your target gets away so you re-gain the massive attack boost.Then pick up the additional amrch speed talents on your way to Victory Rush. Victory Rush is amazing to finish of any legion that tries to get away from you as you deal additional damage to them. Then spend your leftover points in the Magic Tree to increase some more base stats of your legion and make Energy Boost that can make your active skill hit multiple targets, which can be incredibly useful.
This build here has less march speed but packs a heavy punch, espcially for magic Units. Pick up some base stats in the Magic Tree and make your way to Energy Boost as this will give you extra rage, damage and maybe also hit multiple targets.Then you want to make your way to Elemental Boost and make sure you only bring Magic Units and pick up the talents on the way shown in my image. You now have great extra rage and damage. The last points then should be spend in the Mobility Tree to at least gain some extra march speed when in the open field.
Conclusion
I hope this guide for building Atheus helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.
