The latest Clover Retribution update has landed, and it’s packed with new bosses, races, abilities, and valuable rewards. From the Word Devil Raid to the introduction of the Elderkin race, there’s a lot to unpack. This Clover Retribution Aetherion Update guide will walk you through every major addition, what it means for players, and how you can make the most of it.
Clover Retribution Aetherion Update – Codes, Elias
Word Devil Raid – The New Desert Challenge
The biggest highlight of this update is the Word Devil Raid, a raid boss hidden somewhere in the Desert’s Labyrinth. This encounter brings complex mechanics that require coordination:
Blade Storm: A devastating 360° blade attack. Dodge timing is key.
Crushed: Soak mechanic where half the group must stand in to absorb damage.
Iron Spears: A square zone of summoned spears. Stay clear.
Iron Spears 2: A delayed version that spawns spikes in a circle afterward.
Pull: Drags players in before using Vacuum Wall (a square damage area).
Pull & Tether: Advanced version that tethers players—run away to break it or take continuous damage.
Rewards
Defeating the Word Devil yields devil drops and introduces two new armor sets:
- Hellbrand Armor
- Devil Hunter’s Attire
These sets give raiders something new to chase and strengthen their devil-themed builds.
Aetherion – New Arcane Spirit
The update also introduces Aetherion, a normal arcane spirit boss:
- Accessible to everyone: Both beginners and late-game players can farm him.
- No repercussions for killing him multiple times.
- Drops: Spirit parts.
- Buff: Aetherion’s Blessing grants:
- +25% Mana
- +5% Magic Damage
- 5 Flat Damage Reduction
- Doubles base damage and cap of all arcane spells (Veil shield scales even better).
This makes Aetherion an essential grind for mages and anyone running an arcane-heavy build.
Elderkin Race – A Tanky New Option
A completely new race, Elderkin, has been added:
- 50% more HP
- +25 CON
- Dragon’s Blessing trait
This race is designed for players who want maximum durability, excelling in both PvE raid survivability and PvP tank matchups.
New NPC – Elias
At the top of Orion’s Tower, you’ll now find Elias.
- Functions similarly to the Devil’s Advocate but for spirits.
- Can force spawn spirits using:
- Spirit Core
- Spirit Feather
- Spirit Tear
This makes Elias a crucial NPC for anyone farming spirits and looking to streamline progression.
System Changes & Drop Rate Buffs
The update also tweaks several mechanics and loot systems:
- Strange Scientist now allows hybrid devil stat rerolls.
- Crimson Witch mythical drop pool increased from 0.5% → 2%, and now drops spirit parts.
- Aetherstone Golem gains a mythical drop pool (0.5%), dropping spirit parts.
- Orion now offers teleportation directly to the top of his tower.
- Catalyst crafting temporarily removed from the spirit advocate NPC.
- Devil Heart requirement for summoning Word Devil replaced with a Devil Eye.
These changes smooth progression, make spirit farming easier, and rebalance some of the rarest drops in the game.
Buffs & Adjustments
- Fuga: Buffed with % damage chance.
- Antimagic: Received major damage increases.
These tweaks give underperforming builds new viability, especially in high-level content.
