Aether Relay by Arcadigo

Aether Relay is a live, server-authoritative online orb sport game for 1v1, 3v3 or 5v5 teams. Choose three of six counterable skills, choose bot or human matchmaking, or invite friends to a private lobby with optional creator-controlled bot fill. Move to collect the core, defend the carrier, and carry it into the opponent goal. The first team to three goals wins; a lead at the 90-second horn also wins.

How to win

Move to collect the core, defend the carrier, and carry it into the opponent goal. The first team to three goals wins; a lead at the 90-second horn also wins.

Start a match

  1. Choose 1v1, 3v3 or 5v5 and select three different skills.
  2. Choose Play Bots, Instant Match or Human Only before joining.
  3. Pick up, pass or steal.
  4. Use Q, E and R or the on-screen buttons for your chosen skills.
  5. Share a private invite link to put friends on either team.

All movement, actions, cooldowns and scores are checked by the live game server. Private links let guests choose Alpha or Beta. The invite creator can fill any remaining seats with clearly labelled bots.

Balanced skills with clear counters

Every player chooses three skills before the lobby. Cooldowns and effects are identical for both teams; timing and objective play decide the result.

Surge

25% tempo boost for 2.2 seconds.

Ward

Blocks one hostile Jam or core steal.

Jam

Slows one rival for 2.1 seconds; Ward blocks it.

Cleanse

Removes Jam and grants brief protection.

Echo

Enhances the next objective action; Jam suppresses it.

Phase

Dodges hazards or readies an objective action.

Ward blocks Jam and core steals. Cleanse removes Jam. Jam suppresses Echo and reduces Surge's tempo advantage. Phase can avoid hazards.

Keyboard controls

  • Move with WASD or arrows
  • Q, E, R for selected skills

Play Bots fills the open seats immediately with clearly labelled AI. Instant Match searches for people first, then adds bots after a short wait. Human Only waits until all seats are filled by people. Private friend links wait for people unless the invite creator chooses to fill open seats with bots.
