How to Unlock all Rewards in Rivals of Aether 2 - Level 100+ Guide / Showcase

[@tomasfarinha5775]

There's no way the abyss skins won't be unlockable That was like the only thing to unlock in the original rivals

[@Not_Astrocat]

I remember hearing that they are Dev only, so if you find someone online using them you are most likely fighting a Dev

[@Swordfish_]

Dan said he will make it really hard to earn but the devs don't know how yet.

[@Dagobert_Doc]

200 - silver, 300 - gold, 400 - platinum and maybe 500 - abyss skin?

[@666blaziken]

​@@Swordfish_I heard from someone that he tried classic in hard mode without losing a life, and to his dismay and my relief, he did not unlock the skin that way

[@petrikillos]

@@Swordfish_ It's 100% gonna be related to getting a full aether tier set of medals for a character in arcade mode; the thing is they are fine tuning arcade right now, so that might take a while.

[@benjamingesinski9170]

I wish the game itself had a timeline to show what you can unlock as you level up your character. Or at least show the reward for the next level. I also wish there was a way to see what items in the shop (like death effects and costumes) look like in game before you buy them, just to see if they're worth the coins. Edit: Ok so, you can see the next reward for when you're about to level up, but I would like an easier way to view my progress. Something like a character stats screen that shows a character's ko numbers and win/loss ratio, and shows the character's current level as well as the next reward without needing to play an online match.

[@bobtheguyyyyy]

Yeah, maybe some sort of milestone system or something

[@HsmAsTa]

Fun fact : lvls are not capped and the last reward is at lvl 1000

[@BowlerSSF2]

LMAO I had a feeling it would be something crazy. Good luck to anyone trying to 100% the unlocks

[@user-wb8iu1hl6i]

Clairen: Haha I’m a leopard at level 50 Leopard Shark Orcane: I have terminal lymphoma

[@Taktaagic]

I didn't even realise that some of the online modes gave more XP. Now I can get the Level 50 skin for Maypul even faster c: Also thank you for being one of the only people I've seen to not hate on the Skunk Maypul skin LMAO

[@GammaFn.]

When I heard Maypul's L50 was a skunk, I was pretty down on it. But it actually looks mad good! I go back and forth between blue skunk and default bandit now.

[@nickdevitt6302]

I LOVE that skin. It's my favorite

[@beardalaxy]

There is like NOBODY playing FFA it kinda sucks

[@Blizzard91]

I was really dissapointed that black panther zetterburn skin didn't have black fire. Felt like a big waste of coins.

[@Zeitka_]

Weirdly enough I thought that it having red flames made it cooler since his default skin has his red mane turning to a red flame, but with the black panther skin it turns a black mane into a red flame. For me I find the contrast to be a lot more appealing and it makes it when his fire is on all the more prominent. Though I can understand your disappointment.

[@666blaziken]

I personally wanted that skin with purple flames for the marvel reference

[@1197awesome]

@@Zeitka_couldn’t agree more I think it’s one of his best skins

[@Darentei]

Looks dope with blue flames

[@Zeitka_]

@@Darentei I just checked it out; and you're so right!

[@cerb_]

giraffe skin is based on a spongebob joke

[@Beastmd]

Thanks so much for this, I wish that tiger zetter skin just stayed orange instead of the brown hair at the end

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Been looking for this exact video! Found a list on the discord last night but it was hard to find. Thanks for this! The only thing we need now is a chart or video showing EVERY unlock and what they actually look like. I mean I wanna see all the respawn platforms and skins.

[@MishKoz]

Thank you for this! Very nice to have a resource like this outlining all the rewards so you know exactly what you're grinding for. Good luck on the future iceberg video too!!

[@Minifig3D]

Thanks for including the bit about the abyss skins. After fighting Abyssal Orcane, I instantly wanted that Cyclops Monstrosity!

[@shajita]

Hey, thanks for making this. Glad to know most of it is coins so I can set my expectations.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

It's about 1200 XP per hour base. That's 5 hours for 6 levels per char. Bottom line, the cap of 200 levels takes ~165 hours. That's 1650 hours to max everyone. Oof

[@Ziffypoo]

Yeah I have clocked 20 hours playing ranked exclusively and now just got the zetterburn skin. They’re out of their minds.

[@JagGentlemann]

These aren't meant to be unlocked the first week, you know? ​@@Ziffypoo

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

@@JagGentlemann Still, I'd expect to have everything after say, about 2-300 hours at most, not after over 1500 hours.

[@tashi321]

Shranno will always be my favorite, i love playing in my room by myself and hitting Forward Aerial and yelling "GET OUTTA MY SWAMP!" its my favorite thing ever

[@Trashley652]

Wrastor's level 50 unlock is "Yes, I'm gay. Yes, I'm homophobic. We exist."

[@SamWeltzin]

Oh good. This is gonna save me some Aether Bucks. Thanks for puttin' this guide out. Didn't know it was also based on damage and stuff, so that's cool to know as well.

[@falco642]

Lets go ive been waiting for somebody to make a video about every rewards since day 1 glad it finnally out i was starting to do the analyse myself thanks for the video really usefull stuff !

[@my_name_is_J_777]

thank you so much I've been looking for this information for a while

[@smashdriven1640]

Wow thanks for this I had no idea there were unique skins for hitting level 50.

[@sparkydapikachu0259]

0:42 ay yo! I just found this video by sheer coincidence. Glad my efforts came to be helpful~ :D i also want to add that 1v1 online matchmaking gives more XP than Offline, if that wasn't stated yet. haven't figured out the multiplier, but it's at very least x2. And the XP bonus on 2v2 and FFA are based on the amount 1v1 gives you.

[@himynameisexo]

Level 48 Clairen is crazy. I also have chef lox

[@illusionaryheart3325]

Fleet was already incredible but then they slapped my favorite dog's pattern on her? Gorgeous

[@Ridlay_]

The lvl 50 skins are overall pretty good but I wish more of them were references like Clairen and Loxodont's because that's just awesome. Also I think the Abyss skins are gonna be unlockable through story mode, since it's plot relevant!

[@JaRew]

Great video! I’m really new to the game but enjoying it a lot. I just need to get better so I can enjoy it more.

[@mr.unknown5999]

You had every right to buy the chef, it's funny, since you get the let me cook emote.

[@vallu111]

Very informative and good pacing with a nice mix of personal opinions. Thank you

[@starbit5065]

The screen cuts right before you see his level for Ranno to hide the fact that he already has him at level 75 somehow

[@SacredFireGaming]

Daaaaym super smash flash... You just unlocked a core memory for me.

[@spaceace9103]

Cool idea for a video, appreciate this

[@megafan1137]

I'd assume Abyss skins will become unlockable with the release of Story mode; possibly unlocked through story progression, but more likely tied to specific challenges.

[@jkvsk1]

great vid bro!! you got a sub more keep up the Rivals content!

[@Swordfish_]

I didnt notice that Forcebures mask was off. I also didnt like the zettaburn skin at first but, what really changed my opinion was seeing him throwing his projects and his black hair glows and is lit on fire, really make up for it. Also, a small pet peeve of mine is that ronnos color of his bubble are the same as his skin in the profile picture but it's different in game.

[@ericklozano9249]

Thank you so much for bringing out this information!

[@theshadowspider97]

My 2nd favorite animal (elephants) has a skin that's the print of my 1st favorite animal. (a giraffe) Ur...ur joking. A game has never called to me so much! This game wants me to play it! Ugh, please, Rivals! Come to consoles, I beg of u!

[@JaibaSSBM]

Its a reference to SpongeBob

[@theshadowspider97]

@JaibaSSBM What? No the hell it's not! 🤨 Don't treat me like I'm stupid! Prove it! Send a link!

[@Megabaron]

I’ve been waiting for a break down like this. Couldn’t find any of this info online

[@GmNdWtchr96]

Those Mint Palettes remind me of those old uniform "Minty" Brawl Texture mods. Anyone else remember those?

[@TaneKoden]

5:14 Patrick: HAHAHA! IT'S A GIRAFFE!

[@beardalaxy]

I NEED those abyss skins, they look sick. Can't wait to get my leopard Clairen too, I like her more without the visor. Considering paying for that Leon skin since I have 500 bucks atm but the Ranger one looks much cooler. As a sidenote, yeah some of the skins are way too expensive. Paying half the price for the game just so you can be a funny meatball man is crazy. I'm really hoping the events give a decent amount of bucks to help make those prices seem less egregious.

[@cardboardleaf7971]

Saving up all my coins and bucks for the release of the Civet skin for Maypul, it looks so so good but currently is unavailable (you can look at unavailable skins in the Dragdown wiki page for each character)

[@RednekGamurz]

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any of the more expensive skins in the coin shop. I need to be a lot more careful about how I spend those I guess. I know other games usually have currency in their battle passes, so hopefully events will have some bucks as rewards

[@Adamski-]

I really wish they would add a way to view every reward for every character, like in the inventory or something.

[@atWisely]

Jesus I was not ready to jumpscare myself

[@izzyhall3499]

Where did you get the PNGs of the different skins and color variants? I’ve been looking everywhere for them online

[@ALloydRH]

Do you start the game with any palette swaps? I only seem to be able to select the default, L and R does nothing.

[@Skaar316]

I really hope they add back the pallet swap maker and make it so you can make your own pallet swaps for skins.

[@fabianzolezzirioja9191]

Right now you can't see the alternative colors for each skin in the store so I think you can make a similar Showcase video to display all of those colors and get similar a traffic compared to this one

[@s_gaming71]

I wish we could see every characters respawn platform and death animations as well ! I cant find that in any video or wiki anywhere ..

[@Neonlights115]

My only pep peeve with skins is parts of the moveset not matching them all that well. I play maypul and have the winter stoat skin. Love the skin it's just jarring when I plant Lilly or terry. The green just doesn't match

[@skeletonfan6735]

Rivals two came out? I didn’t even know lol

[@bananasoul3206]

I'm really hoping the abyss skins will be free from arcade because that would be awesome. Also those level 50s are sick, and I'm glad my two characters got the best ones (kragg and clairen lol)

[@nebulisnoobis102]

Loxodont’s “let me cook” emote is not a level up emote. Instead, it is “IMPOSSIBLE!!”

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Clarinet's visor looks so derpy in-game. They should do another pass on it. In general, all the models have a lot of rounded shapes and sausage finger syndrome. They could do with more edges and being sharper and blockier in places.

[@slenderMax28]

I'm not looking forward to the grind, but I'm determined to get more alt colors for every character without spending money. Little disappointed by how few good colors there are on a fresh account.

[@FerousFolly]

7:10 bro is colourblind 💀

[@WiiGi]

This video is clairen, but also clairen with a sprinkle of CLAIREN!

[@coch7665]

Does the experience calculation mean that if you repeatedly play arcade mode on hard mode and die then press continue to add onto the timer, you should gain multiple levels? Or is there a limit on the experience you can earn per arcade mode completion?

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

I think the penalty doesn't count, only the time you spend playing.

[@TonyDrecaps]

Great video. Thank you

[@makiroll8720]

im not ready for the grind for a free loxodont skin

[@ShadowMikku]

Been trying to find this and struggling, where do we get the 8 bit skins? are they like, beta or backer exclusive?

[@BowlerSSF2]

These were part of the kickstarter, I’m not sure if they’re still available but it’s maybe possible.

[@666blaziken]

I like the skunk one, but it's such a missed opportunity that the leaves are green instead of white, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@BowlerSSF2]

Agreed. Worth putting in the feedback forum, you never know!

[@Moose7701]

Arcade on hard without deaths is probably the most agonizing thing I have every character at purple medal on normal, but hard? Basically all silvers.

[@BowlerSSF2]

Yeah looking back, I probably should of just said beating hard mode in general. I haven't gotten any purple hard mode medals yet

[@Moose7701]

@BowlerSSF2 The crouch canceling makes it very unfun to fight in terms of trying to speed through it since lots of combo starters end up with you getting cc smash attacked. Otherwise the story ai is pretty decent (mostly) to just fight casually. Fleet AI definitely needs some help.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Yeah, that'd be agony. Even just beating it can be tough but that'd be a fine requirement.

[@EDDYSUNSHINEv2]

For the second taunts, is it activated via D-Pad?

[@IslaCarruthers909]

maybe do video showing each infividual reward

[@not_anybody_in_particular]

I heard there was skins for level 70, 85, & 100. So that's not true? What's the deal with that dragon Forsburn skin that's been going around?

[@BowlerSSF2]

I’ve seen the post, and no sadly it’s not real. Those are leaked skins from an earlier build

[@OgerponIsACutie]

No bucks at all past level 50? Darn. I would understand if they got progressively rarer but i wish they were still available. Look at me complaining when theyre already so nice about it though lol

I believe you can unlock bucks in the free event passes each month which will help, I should of mentioned that in the video too!

[@frankunodostres473]

I noticed when playing local games that only player 1 gets XP. which is kinda unfortunate because we play on the same pc with 2 or 3 controllers and imo all characters controlled by humans should get XP. does anybody know if this is a bug or intended?

​@@BowlerSSF2I don't think they are going to the shop. The devs said that the skin that came from outside the game it's not guaranteed to go to the in-game shop.

[@BronzeAgePepper]

​@@Swordfish_ that's kind of silly as they don't cost any in-game currency to unlock right now. might as well give a freebie to the people who even bother to link their Aether and Twitch accounts and let the people who don't have to grind or spend real money instead of just completely missing it.
