In the World of Illuvium, You take the role of a survivor of a transport vessel in an intergalactic space fleet, investigating a perplexing distress beacon.
This article provides insight into how Illuvials function and how synergy works for combat to get you the upper-hand. Players that can understand illuvial elements and class types will have some of the best user experiences while playing the game from the very start.
Illuvials #
“Strange radiation spills from the planet’s core, allowing the creatures to grow, mutate and unleash deadly attacks. It is easy to find some illuvials, but it is hard to find others. Their occurrence is widespread. Radiation itself pulses in a nonorganic manner that seems vaguely familiar. There are more than 100 Illuvials to be found and collected across the globe, each with unique abilities. Based on common affinities or classes, they form symbiotic relationships with one another, which is called Synergy.
Illuvials are meant to be creatures with a form of radiation spills from the planet’s core. More than 100 Illuvials can be found containing unique elements and some more scarce than others. Depending on their affinities and classes, they can synergize with other Illuvial NFTs.
As a result of this: Hybrid Synergy System in the Battle Arena, Illuvials become stronger when they work as a team, so collecting synergizing pairs to maximize your chances of winning.
- Different synergies can give you an advantage over your opponent, despite their Illuvials’ greater raw power.
- sometimes they evolve the same type of illuvial into a more powerful beast with different attributes,
- Belonging to a completely different class or type. Some lines of illuvials are very rare and hard to find, adding to the difficulty of discovering their fused form.
Team Building your Illuvial NFTs #
Synergies between illuvials can make the difference between victory and defeat.
- Defeat Illuvials, and if you win, they will join you on your personal Odyssey in a Shard. Shards vary in power
- You should use stronger Shards if you are dealing with stronger Illuvials. Otherwise, you might lose that rare creature forever. The more you fight, the stronger they will become. When three creatures reach their threshold levels, you can fuse them together to create a more powerful creature.
And for the Shard; it will return to the owner. It has a time-based regeneration protocol for anything it contains. In certain intervals of time, your fighting team can regain full health.If the player wants it back, then they might need to pay a fee or use other items in order to retrieve it quickly.
- This will bring your ILLUVIALS back to full health
It is RNG of the player’s luck to get a Shiny, Gold, or Holographic rare capture.
Affinities and Classes #
In addition to the origins of Illuvials themselves, there are a various elements that play a major role in the game.
There are 5 elements that illuvial primarily connect with. The most powerful Ascended forms have affinities with two elements (Frost = Air + Water), or with a single element (Inferno = Fire + Fire). Choosing your team carefully is crucial. In combat with an Inferno Illuvial, your Archeleon might be at a disadvantage because of its overgrowth affinity (Nature + Nature), so it’s important to think twice before starting a battle.
There are five classes of Illuminals:
- Fighter
- Guardian,
- Rogue
- Psion
- Empath.
Players encounter wild Illuvials in many RPGs based on the class that you choose for your Illuvials. Building a team that can synergize well will give you the upper hand in combat. Synergistic in qualities and traits so that they can work well together as one unit. Sometimes ascended forms embody two classes at once, such as the Slayer (Fighter + Rogue), or they become even stronger in one class, such as the Invoker (Psion + Psion).”
What is the Illuviary? #
One uses the Illuviary to keep track of these Illuvials. Kind of similar to a PokeDEX. When a player goes out further, you will encounter new illuvials and understand their essence and origin. What makes them vulnerable, and their specific attributes.

How to Play? #
Start by creating a new character and set your own customizations. Next, you’ll need to choose the Polymorphic Subordinate Drone, then begin exploring the various regions of the world. You will encounter Illuvials as you adventure. Subdue them and use a Shard to snap them up so they are permanently yours. Shards vary in power, so be cautious; Illuvials are likely to defeat less powerful Shards.
New players are able to mine free shards that only capture a select few Illuvials that are far less powerful than others. Nevertheless, you will be able to learn the mechanics of the game and get started immediately. There are several regions that await exploration, but most will be inaccessible to the first generation of players. In time, players will unlock Obelisks that will allow travel to new regions, along with new Illuvials to collect and battle.

Gameplay and features #
In Illuvium, there are two game modes that you can play:
- Adventure – The goal of adventure is to capture and collect illuvials. In the right hands, capturing something rare and powerful can be incredibly lucrative. Over time, illuvials will become more difficult to capture. The capture rate will change as more and more are found, because it is fundamentally linked to the number of creatures that have been captured so far. Moreover, it will also become more difficult to capture illuvial creatures. As you adventure and encounter Illuvials in the wild, your current team (including yourself) will become stronger.
- Battle Arenas – In the battle arena mode, players will queue in the “Ranked Arena” where they will be matched with a random opponent of similar skill level, or call out other players in ad-hoc wager matches in the “Leviathan Arena”. Spectators and wagers will be able to watch the game.
