Aphrodite is a legendary Invoker hero from the Olympus faction in Godforge. Aphrodite is aligned with the Eternal affinity and loyal to the Chaos allegiance. In this guide, you’ll find the best Aphrodite builds, recommended team synergies, counters to watch out for, and tips to get the most out of this hero in both PvE and PvP.
Allies gain 2% Turn Meter when inflicting damage to an enemy. This effect is doubled on allies who are under [SPD Up II] and [INIT Up II].
Attack 1 enemy (120% ATK). Allies under [SPD Up II] and [INIT Up II] will join this attack, using their default ability.
After attacking, place [SPD Up II] for 1 turn on this hero.
Target 1 Ally and place[SPD Up II] and [INIT Up II] for 2 turns, then gain an extra turn.
Attack all enemies (230%ATK) then extends the duration of any [SPD Up II] and [INIT Up II] on all allies by 1 turn. Also increases the Turn Meter and Divinity of all allies by 20%. This effect is doubled on allies who are under [SPD Up II] and [INIT Up II].
Gain 70 Divinity when placing a buff on an ally.
Aphrodite excels as a team support Invoker with a focus on turn meter acceleration, buff extension, and team synergy:
Motivation (Passive): This is the centerpiece of Aphrodite’s kit, granting all allies bonus turn meter whenever they deal damage—doubled for those under Speed Up II and Initiative Up II. This leads to extremely fast team cycling, keeping your side ahead in action order and maximizing the value of every ally’s skill.
Lovers Duet (Basic): Enables joint attacks when buffed allies (under Speed Up II and Initiative Up II) attack, making her a potent enabler for multi-attack strategies. This not only amplifies direct damage but also increases procs from allies’ passive and on-hit effects. After using this skill, she buffs herself with Speed Up II, keeping her engine running.
Divine Sacrament (Core): Selectively boosts a key ally with Speed Up II and Initiative Up II for two turns and grants herself an extra turn, allowing her to rapidly cycle into her other abilities or reposition buffs as needed.
Eternal Bonds (Ultimate): Hits all enemies and then extends all Speed Up II and Initiative Up II buffs on allies by one turn, while massively boosting turn meter and Divinity (effect doubled for buffed allies). This single move can supercharge your team when timed with stacked buffs and high offensive or synergy turns.
Overall, Aphrodite is less about direct damage and more about maximizing ally actions, skill rotations, and maintaining overwhelming momentum through strategic buffing and TM boosts. Successful play leverages her skills to keep your team perpetually faster, with more and longer buffs, outpacing most opponents.
As an Invoker who powers teams through turn meter and buffs, you want to focus on the following stats:
Speed (SPD on Legs/Boots): The core stat for faster skill cycling and earlier buffing.
Initiative (Helmet/Boots): Boosts her ultimate cycle, when combined with Speed, maximizes passive effects.
HP%/DEF% (Chest/Shoulder): For survivability, as she is a high-value target.
Speed: Always a premium substat for more turns.
Resistance: Helps avoid critical debuffs, keeping her operational.
HP% / DEF%: Adds bulk so she survives focus fire.
Aphrodite’s optimal gear type is Cloth, favoring Outgoing Healing and Turn Meter bonuses per attuned piece. A full six-piece Cloth set maximizes her TM-boosting role.
Hero | Synergy Reason |
---|---|
Hippolyta | Provides Speed Up I to all Olympus allies, which Aphrodite can extend and further empower with her kit. Stacking Speed buffs turbocharges team turn meter and joint attacks. |
Isolde | Heals when Defenders are attacked and also boosts TM for allies. Isolde and Aphrodite together create a rapid-fire, sustained composition that cycles buffs and healing. |
Leonidas | Leonidas with his shielding, barriers, and synergy with other Olympus heroes, benefits from rapid TM and extended buffs, making his defensive skills even more oppressive. |
The best synergies are found with heroes who apply or scale with Speed Up, Initiative Up, and rely on acting frequently (either for debuffing or sustaining). Compositions with other Olympus heroes will particularly benefit due to factional buffs stacking.
Turn Meter Reduction/Deny: Heroes or skills that reduce enemy turn meter or block TM gain (like Skadi, Set, or those with strong disables) can disrupt Aphrodite’s main advantage.
Buff Block/Removal: Applying buffs block or reliably stripping Speed Up/Initiative Up (such as through Dagonet or Pandora) can prevent her team from snowballing the TM and synergy effects.
Disables/Silence: Directly silencing or disabling Aphrodite with lock, stun, sleep, or despair debuffs can halt her ability rotation, buying your team critical time.
High Burst Damage: If you can one-shot Aphrodite before she cycles buffs and TM, the enemy team’s momentum collapses. Focused nukers or joint attacks are effective.
