Ortyr

## Background

Ortyr was a frost giant from the realm of Jotunheim. Before Ragnarok, he was a Diplomat for the Giant King, Laufey. He fathered two sons, Orgyr, and Modir, who then became soldiers in Laufeys army. But when the trickster god, Loki, and the giant Surtyr made a deal to destroy the asgardians and usurp the Jotunn throne, Ortyr stood in their way.

He and his sons stood at the bifrost in Jotunheim and waited for Loki and Surtyr. When they arrived, they brawled on the rainbrow bridge. In the end, Ortyr was left wounded and his sons were dead. He watched as Surtyr and Loki murdered Laufey and took the Jotunn throne.

Ortyr escaped Jotunheim, and retreated to Midgard.

## Ragnarok

When Loki and Surtyr stormed Asgard, Ortyr assembled an army of Jotunn rebels, sympathetic to his cause of vengeance. The battle was fierce and many of the Aesir gods were killed. With the exception of the brothers, Magni, and Modi, as well as the watcher Heimdall.

Ortyr retreated back to Midgard. But Surtyr had followed close behind. Ortyr watched the giant burn his home and slaughter his friends.

## The War Against Surtyr

Shortly after Ragnarok, Ortyr remarried and fathered a son, named Eymir. Ortyr lived in seclusion, hiding from Surtyr in Midgard. But when the Aesir god Modi offered Ortyr a seat in Asgard, he couldn't refuse. Ortyr took his family to the realm of Asgard where he aided in the rebuilding of Valhalla and the city.

But Magni created a plan to attack Surtyr's army in Muspelheim, and get revenge for the death of the Aesir gods. Ortyr was made general of the Jotunn forces in Asgard. Together, Magni, Modi, Heimdall, and Ortyr created the Aesir-Jotunn pact. The pact stated that Jotunheim and Asgard would remain allies, and Ortyr would rule as king of the Jotunn.

Magni and Ortyr took their armies into Midgard, to gain control over the realm. But Surtyr had already arrived with his army of fire giants. The Drugr king Ferfeffnir also arrived with his army of Draugr. A giant battle erupted in Midgard. And Surtyr was defeated. He retreated back to Muspelheim.

Ortyr was enraged, so he crossed the bifrost into Muspelheim where he dueled Surtyr. The duel was so fiersome and virulent, that a piece of Muspelheim broke awy and created the new realm of Askrheim. Surtyr was too strong, Ortyr knew that. Ortyr took his power and spirit and handed it off to his son Eymir, to succeed him, as king of Jotunheim.

Ortyr was killed by Surtyr. And the war became even more violent.

Demi-Moreau

*This page is for the Season 4 boss battle. For the hero, see Dr. Moreau.*

**Demi-Moreau** is the final boss in Season 4's story. He is a deformed, corrupting amalgamation of the Underwild's Demiurge and Dr. Moreau.

The boss encounter occurs at the last stage in Province 36, starting the first wave with Demi-Moreau accompanied by two Abyssal Minions. Unlike previously fought enemies, the Abyssal Minions are elite enemies with their special skill applying a buff immunity debuff on a target. Your main target, however, shares the same special skill as base Dr. Moreau, which strikes a single target as well and applies a blind debuff that resets duration upon any healing received or health boosts. Alongside this, Demi-Moreau will revive his fallen allies every 5 turns if he is not downed within that time frame.

Entering the second phase, he grows more powerful, able to attack every turn unless stunned by matching a line of 3 or more tiles on an everchanging weakspot. Demi-Moreau's skill is modified to strike all enemies but does not apply a blindness ailment.

After downing him a second time, Demiurge revives Dr. Moreau a third time, Demi-Moreau cracking into a more corrupting, crystalline appearance. Another modification to the special skill summons Abyssal Crystal Minions that inflict damage on your team and giving the targets an Abyssal Crystal Fiend.

Upon completion of the boss stage for the first time, you will claim the following rewards under missions:

**Normal**

* 300  Underwild Coins
* 2  Epic Troop Tokens
* 1 Aouda Avatar

**Hard**

* 500  Underwild Coins
* 2  Epic Troop Tokens
* 1 Phileas Fogg Avatar

## Recommended Strategies

During the first phase, Moreau will have the ability to revive enemies every 5 turns; thus, it is recommend to strike him out before the two elite enemies to his sides. Avoid any form of healing, instant or regenerative, if his special skill applies his blind debuff. Ailment immunity heroes can aid in negating this issue.

The two following phases, Moreau's special skill will summon crystal minions that mimick Mythic Titans' watchers in appearance. Minion destroyers are recommended for these phases. Otherwise, fiend summoners or fiend cleansers might help against these minions, as the crystal minions will randomly attack Heroes and place a crystal fiend onto their targets.

Hero Classes

Hero Classes are a way for fully ascended and leveled heroes to be improved upon even further. They were introduced in January 2019 with the 18.0.0 version of the game.  Each max level hero has access to a Talent and can increase their stats through the Talent Grid.  The talents only become available once the hero is fully leveled and has their special skill maxed.  Class Emblems are used to upgrade one's talents.

## Quests & Emblems

Class Quests are a feature along with Hero Classes where the type of heroes that you may utilize must belong to just one of two classes, these quests serve as the primary means of obtaining Class Emblems.

Class Emblems are obtained via rare titan kills, war rewards, chests, and class quests.

Emblems Needed To Max Out Talent Grid

Upon completion of the talent grid the hero will have a total of 20 talents.

## Hero Classes & Talents

Talents may be acquired and leveled up through the Talent Grid, increasing the chance that they have to go into effect.  Once fully completed the hero's chances of getting their talent going into effect will be 5x what is stated below.  Click on the class to see its heroes and talent grid.

 Cleric | Manashield
 Druid | Companion
 Fighter | Revive
 Monk | Resist
 Paladin | Protect
 Ranger | Pierce
 Rogue | Evade
 Sorcerer | Delay
 Wizard | Jinx

*There are also links on our Hero Information page to categories for each class.*

## Class Quests / Trials

Each trial restricts the use of heroes to only those which belong to one of two classes.  Each trial consists of just three stages, an Easy (2500TP), a Medium (3500TP) and a Hard (4000TP).

There is also a great talent calculator available that was put together by Kamikaze Assassin.

Richard was used as an example of what one may expect from the system.  Here are the two images provided in the preview:
Houses

Houses increase accommodation capacity for recruits.  As you level up your Stronghold you gain the ability to build more houses, specifically at levels 5, 11, and 20.  This means that there is a maximum of 4 houses total that one may have at once.

## Recruit Storage & Upgrade Costs

Costs below are declared for 3\*/4\*/5\*.  There are four levels of emblem costs:

   Standard:  7 / 15 / 50

Hou

Monkey Warrior

**Hou** is one of the 16 basic  Uncommon Heroes.

As such, he is barely mentioned on the Forum, although the Special Skill "Defensive Tactics" (shared with  Ice Olaf) makes them moderately useful in the early phases of the game when enemies are rather strong compared to available Heroes, so the significant defense increase can ensure they are not killed in one strike. However, Hou competes for Class Emblems as well as the  Holy slot in the team with Bane who is in every roster by default.

(On the first appearance, The Mighty Pets had a new Event effect, **Nap Time!** where minions/fiends could confer Sleep. This was removed in Version 55 (see Release Notes) together with changing the Pupppies' stats, so graphics below are outdated in this respect.)

* have + 20% Attack, Defense, and Health

Miracle Scroll

Miracle Scroll is an epic battle item.

## Obtaining

Miracle Scrolls are generally crafted in the forge.

Can also be received as loot from:

* Alliance Wars
* Challenge Events
* Seasonal Events
* Titan Hunts
* Wanted Missions

## Strategic Uses

Miracle Scrolls are the difficult battle item to obtain in the game. Due to the high cost, most players reserve them for the most difficult levels of Challenge Events and Rare Quests where they do not want to risk having to re-attempt the stage. For example, the last stage of the emblem quests requires 20 world energy, which would take 3 hours 20 minutes to refill. Taking a miracle scroll into battle may allow a player to complete the stage for the class emblems without having to use 75 gems to continue.
