Anime Defenders Athenyx’s Key and Tether Explained

The arrival of Anime Defenders Update 5 marks its arrival by adding two new items that allow your units to travel between realms. Here's everything you need to know about Athenyx's Key and Tether in Anime Defenders.

What is Athenyx's Key in Anime Defenders?

Athenyx's Key, as the name suggests, is a special item that can only be used in the Anime Defenders Athenyx Realm. It was introduced as a part of the Anime Defenders Update 5. At this point, you might think entering the realm requires it.

However, it's quite the opposite, as Athenyx's Key is an item you will need to exit the realm; otherwise, you'll be trapped inside with all the items and units you've obtained so far. There are two ways to get Athenyx's Key in Anime Defenders.

First, you must hop into the Athenyx Realm, which requires achieving at least level 30. The item randomly drops in this mode, so you'll need to keep an eye out for it. Alternatively, you can complete this season's battle pass to obtain Athenyx's Key. Once you have the item in your inventory, you can leave the realm.

Understanding Athenyx's Tether

In Anime Defenders, the Athenyx dimension is well known for its exclusive units known as Realm Units. But there's a catch – you cannot bring these units outside this realm unless you have Athenyx's Tether. To put it simply, Athenyx's Tether allows you to bring back Realm units in the real world to use and trade them.

You can obtain this special tool by completing certain challenges in Realm mode and finishing the battle pass in the game. However, it's worth noting that you can only evacuate a single unit at a time.
