The new characters for Honkai Star Rail 1.3 and their Element, Star Grade, and Path have been announced. Includes potential Imaginary DPS, and two units to complete Mono Quantum.

So we’re going to introduce these three units, see what roles they can offer, and how they make a difference by referencing past versions. I’ll also discuss whether our current pull choices are the wisest. But remember 1.3 is still 8 weeks away, so pulling now is still a wise choice. Let’s start.

Imbibitor Lunae, 5-Star Imaginary Destruction

The first unit to drop is Imbibitor Lunae. He’s a 5-Star Imaginary Destruction unit and the first in our group.

Destruction units are hybrid DPS with survivability or HP based mechanics. Blade appeared in 1.2 as Wind Destruction. So I doubt they’ll copy their own assignment and have Imbibitor Lunae do the same. So he’s probably like Hook, with strong damage and some healing mechanics.

Either way, he’ll be another DPS pick for those who skipped Honkai Star Rail 1.0, or those who joined the game recently. You can pull Blade for Wind coverage and powerful damage. Or wait for Imbibitor Lunae and get Imaginary coverage and powerful damage.

We don’t know how Blade fares, or even his last suit. And Lunae is brand new, so we can’t compare their strength. So if you don’t like Blade’s mechanics or style, and you want DPS, then maybe Lunae is for you.

If you just want a DPS, you can also choose a Honkai Star Rail Account that includes Lunae. Maybe you can also pick up a Light Cone, like In the Night and Before Dawn, which will give you a powerful DPS boost.

As an Imaginary unit, he is our first dedicated Imaginary DPS. Now Welt’s DPS is mainstream and powerful. But Lunae will definitely outdo Welt in damage. That doesn’t mean Welt is dead. He’s a Nihility unit that offers some incredible utility.

And can provide some low DPS damage if paired with Imbibitor Lunae. You’ll also need to pair the two if you want to abuse Wastelander set. The only Destruction unit with a debuff is Hook. So unless Lunae is imprisoned or has a new debuff in his gear, you’ll want Welt to abuse his full power.

Finally, this means we can build Mono Imaginary in Honkai Star Rail 1.3. Lunae is the main DPS, Welt is the secondary DPS, Yukong is the buffer, and Luocha is the solo sustain. Yukong is the strongest buffer when considering two DPS with Silver Wolf. So one of the two will make your Lunae and Welt do some incredible damage.

Therefore, Imbibitor Lunae, with its powerful DPS options and cool exterior design, may make Blade no longer your only choice. If you need a DPS to build your second team in Memory of Chaos, he might be a good choice.

Fu Xuan, 5-Star Quantum Preservation

The next unit is Fu Xuan. We actually confirmed she was one of those units a while back, but now we’ve confirmed that she’s coming to Honkai Star Rail 1.3.

Fu Xuan is a 5-Star Quantum Preservation unit. Preservation units mitigate damage, increase Aggro, and have shields. So Fu Xuan may be similar to Luocha in this respect. Luocha shows us how limited Abundance works. So Fu Xuan might do the same with Preservation.

It wasn’t hard to add numbers and better traces on Gepard. But maybe they’ll do a whole new mechanic like they did with Luocha. Maybe attack based shielding?

Anyway, as a 5-Star limited Preservation, she might solo sustain. So maybe you don’t need to pick up Luocha. Especially if you’re pulling her in Honkai Star Rail 1.2 and want your DPS to be above solo sustain first.

As a Quantum unit, she’s our first defensive Quantum pick, which is why most people support her. We can finally form a Mono Quantum in Honkai Star Rail 1.3. Even if there is no next unit, we can add support to it that matches the enemy’s weaknesses. And this also already gives Mono Quantum to most enemies in the game.

Mono Quantum is every Seele player’s dream. With Silver Wolf, Fu Xuan and the next character. You can attack every enemy in the game with your Seele and still deal maximum damage.

They probably have a way to weaken it, but you should be safe. So for those who are still pulling Luocha, or those who have Seele and Silver Wolf, it may be a better choice to preserve their strength. You can choose DPS in Honkai Star Rail 1.2. Then select the defense option in Honkai Star Rail 1.3.

Lynx, 4-Star Quantum Abundance

Finally, we have Lynx. She is a 4-Star Quantum Abundance unit and the first of our set. As an Abundance unit, she can heal allies and can cleanse like Natasha or Luocha. Or there are new mechanics like Bailu’s Invigoration.

Either way, she’s giving us a new Abundance option. And she is a 4-Star character. So if you can wait a few more months, you don’t need to choose 5-Star limited Abundance for your second therapist.

Getting a 4-Star role can be tricky sometimes. If we follow that Free unit into a Free Light Cone pattern, we won’t get Free character in Honkai Star Rail 1.3. So you may need to pull a bunch of characters to protect her.

She might give Natasha power, or just a new Abundance option. And she’ll give your second team an extra Quantum break and more options.

The primary reason people want her again is Mono Quantum. With Seele or Qingque, Silver Wolf, Fu Xuan and Lynx, you can now take Quantum anywhere. Because Silver Wolf will have a 100% chance to inflict Quantum weakness on enemies.

If Fu Xuan is a solo sustainable powerhouse like Luocha, then you probably don’t need Lynx. But you can take her anyway for extra survivability. So, for Mono Quantum enjoyers or those in desperate need of a second healer. Lynx is here to help in Honkai Star Rail 1.3.

Honkai Star Rail 1.3 is still a while away, so who you want to pull is entirely up to you. Let me know your pull options for Honkai Star Rail 1.2 and 1.3. Good luck.

The next installment of WOW Dragonflight expansion patch 10.1.5 Fractures in Time will go live on July 11th, and there’s a lot to look forward to.

There’s a brand new Mega-Dungeon to explore and loot, a brand new Evoker class. There’s also new open world content with Time Rifts, as well as a Whelp Daycare questline and daily events. So, let’s review everything in WOW Dragonflight patch 10.1.5.

New Mega-Dungeon: Dawn Of The Infinite

First up is the new Mega-Dungeon, Dawn of the Infinite. Infinite Dragonflight has long pursued the rise of their leader, Murozond. But, for that to happen, Aspect of Bronze Dragonflight Nozdormu has to go mad.

That’s what Infinite Dragonflight is trying to achieve in this new Mega-Dungeon, and it’s what we’re trying to prevent. We need to straighten out the timeline and save Nozdormu from his so-called fate. And collect some really shiny loot along the way.

Dawn of the Infinite also drives Dragonflight’s story forward. Primal Incarnate of Earth Iridikron is scheming behind the scenes. But why is he joining forces with Infinite Dragonflight? And how does all of this affect Avatar’s plans for that Dragon Isles? Here’s another mystery we’ll have to unravel as we explore Mega-Dungeon.

Augmentation New Evoker Specialization

Dragonflight 10.1.5 patch is also the first time we’ve seen the new Specialization in a patch. Augmentation Evokers will focus on providing special rewards to your various allies.

There are general buffs. Such as multiple player key stats increased to increase damage throughput of your team members. There is also increased versatility in some allies. You can also reduce threat spawns so you can teleport to each other. It can even reduce the cooldown of an ally’s main offensive ability.

They also provide various approaches to crowd control. Also deal damage with impressive new spells like Eruption, Upheaval, and Breath of Eons.

Plus, there’s an optional Evokers-specific questline here. It answers some leftover questions from previous patches. And explains how the Evokers gained the ability to use more Black Dragonflight magic. And combine it with Bronze Dragonflight magic to power the new Augmentation Specialization.

New Public Event: Time Rifts

With the big move of Infinite Dragonflight, the timeline is all warped and Time Rifts start appearing all over Dragon Isles. These Time Rifts brought us new outdoor world content to explore.

To ensure our timeline remains stable, these Time Rifts need to be fixed. We need to fight off mysterious invaders from different versions of Azeroth and collect Temporal Essence. Then go into Time Rifts again and find out what’s causing these fragments.

The more Essences you collect, the better rewards you get. Many of the bosses within Time Rifts also have tons of shiny loot and WOW Dragonflight Gold for you to pursue.

Plus, taking part in Time Rifts events will earn you Paracausal Flakes as well. You can use these Flakes at different vendors and get rewards that match the themes of the different alternate timelines.

There are also some new Mounts, Transmogs, Battle Pets, and some new chase gear options waiting for you to collect. There are also some special New Paracausal Fragment Trinkets. They have powerful effects, and these ancient legendary weapon fragments will be very useful in future battles.

Whelp Daycare New Quests And Daily Activities

There are also new questlines and daily activities available in Whelp Daycare. We packed Ruby Life Pools Dungeon with new Whelps, but too many to handle alone. So they need the expertise of Valdrakken Whelp Daycare.

You can help Whelp Daycare clean up the area, providing treats and materials for the habitat. You can take turns working with each Whelp to create a suitable lair for each Dragonflight.

We’ll also learn a little about each Dragonflight and its history. After helping each Whelp, you’ll unlock them as battle pets. You’ll also get new daily quests and various perks like Flight Stones, Pet Charms, and more.

Kalimdor Cup New Dragonriding Event

Dragonriding has received another major update. There is a new tournament coming up called Kalimdor Cup. During this event, you can find dragonriding races in most areas of Kalimdor.

Each track has standard, advanced and reverse options for you to test your dragonriding abilities. You also get a new currency, Riders of Azeroth Badges. You can trade these Badges to new vendors in Valdrakken to unlock new Dragonriding customization options and Dragonrider Transmog Set.

Warlock Updates New Race Options And Demon Customization

Finally, Warlock Class has received some major updates as well. First off, every race except Dracthyr can now play as Warlock Class. This gives us more class combinations to explore.

Warlock will also have new customization options for their Demon Pets. This way you can customize your Demon according to your own personal style.

A special Warlock questline will reward you with Grimoire for unlocking these options and changing your Demon’s appearance. Just visit a barbershop and you’ll have all the customization options unlocked there. It’s not just Warlock, though.

There’s a lot to look forward to here with class and talent changes, UI updates, tons of quality-of-life additions, and cross-realm trades. So even if your friends are playing on different servers in the same region as you. You can trade items and WOW Dragonflight Gold with them.

Plus, there are new in-game events, additions to the gear upgrade system, and a new questline in Eon’s Fringe area.

With so much content on the horizon, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in the next chapter of World of WarCraft Dragonflight. But that’s all in patch 10.1.5 Fractures in Time. Good luck and have fun.

Diablo 4 is the latest addition to Diablo series that has taken the gaming world by storm. As with all games, some players say it’s the best ARPG ever made, while others say it’s not that great.

So, here I’m going to give you my take on all of Diablo 4’s gameplay. I want to cover a lot, so let’s get straight to the point.

It’s been a good game so far, and certainly a step up from Diablo 3. I’m currently level 55, I’ve completed Campaign, tried some courses, and played with some Endgame content.

Now that I’ve covered the little details, let’s take a deeper look at my impressions of Gameplay, Campaign, and Endgame.

Gameplay

Let’s start with the gameplay of Diablo 4. First, let’s talk about classes. The classes in Diablo 4 are Necromancer, Barbarian, Rogue, Druid and Sorcerer. This means you have 5 amazing classes to choose from.

I’ve only played 2 of the 5 classes so far, enough to really get a good feel for them. The professions I have played are Necromancer and Druid. Necromancer was the first character I started playing when I got into Diablo 4. Regardless, as far as classes go, they definitely feel unique, like the other Diablo games.

Plus, Talent System in Diablo 4 added a ton of customizability that I thought was missing from Diablo 3. Talent System allows players to enhance the effects of certain spells by choosing upgrades and modifications to certain spells. This is definitely an improvement over Rune System in Diablo 3.

In addition to Talent System, Paragon System is an interesting feature that further customizes your stats and abilities. Overall, the combat is very smooth, and the animations don’t feel jagged. Your spells feel like they’re always hitting, and enemies are challenging and not too weak.

So far, I’m loving the combat and the very polished feel they bring to the entire game. Another prominent feature I like that Mounts. Because Mounts will make your trip to Sanctuary faster and easier. You unlock your Mounts by winning Campaigns, and once you have them, the way you travel will never be the same.

The gearing process in Diablo 4 is also unique. The new Endgame system differs from what players we use to in Diablo 3. We’ll dig into these systems in depth when we mention Endgame. But overall, the gear is still pretty good.

There are also legendary buffs that swap out what they call Aspects for other gear, and unlock them to upgrade gear to Legendary. It’s also a nice quality-of-life addition to the game.

MMO World Concept

Next, let’s talk about that MMO World concept introduced in Diablo 4. Just like in other Blizzard MMO World-type games, where you can meet other players, such as World of WarCraft.

However, the way they work is that when you or someone around you kills a monster, you both get a corresponding amount of Diablo 4 Gold and loot. They have an automatic grouping system that groups players with nearby players.

This increases the difficulty of mobs around you, and also gives you experience boosts, as if you were actually at a party. This is really great for sudden events happening around the world so you can tackle them with multiple people.

Dungeons

Then I want to talk about Diablo 4 dungeons. They are static locations where you go in and complete objectives, and if the challenge is complete, you get the ultimate reward. This reward is Legendary Aspect. As mentioned before, you can add to your gear.

Although the base dungeon itself might not be all that interesting. But there are also higher-level dungeons here, like Nightmare Dungeons.

Campaign

Now move on to Campaign. This part is pretty straightforward, so let’s start by discussing the storyline. The developers well thought the storyline of Diablo out.

The developers achieved this by incorporating the player character into cutscenes and making boss fights actually difficult. Everything that happens in the story feels like it affects your character, not just the world around you. And there are a lot of unique interactions throughout Campaign.

Endgame

The last part I want to really talk about is Diablo 4’s Endgame. This is something that gets a lot of debate among our players. So this is purely my take on Endgame content.

World Tiers

First, let’s start with something more familiar to everyone, World Tiers. You can choose different difficulty for your world. This will net you rewards like XP, more Diablo 4 Gold, better gear, and more.

In Diablo 4, players can choose from 4 World Tiers. Among them, they have unlocked World Tier 1 and World Tier 2 when you first enter the game. World Tier 3 and World Tier 4 are locked. You need to complete certain dungeons to unlock higher World Tiers.

But I recommend you get at least level 45 to get into World Tier 3. Because the monsters here are above level 50. If you want to experience World Tier 3 urgently, but don’t have enough time to upgrade. You can choose Diablo 4 Boosting Service to achieve the purpose of a fast upgrade.

Helltides

Once you’ve reached at least World Tier 3, you’ll have access to more Endgame content like Helltides. Speaking of Helltides, this new mechanic randomly selects an area for you in Sanctuary full of demons and other monsters. These areas are where you can grind Cinders. You can then exchange Cinders for gear in chests around the area.

I like the system so far, it’s straightforward and a great way to hone higher level gear and earn XP.

Tree Of Whispers

The last Endgame I want to mention is Tree of Whispers. The system works just like Bounty System. You need to collect 10 Grim Favors from discrete events scattered around Sanctuary.

When you cash them in the tree, you can choose a loot cache that contains different gear. This is another way for players to gain gear and advance through harder content.

We’ve now seen several aspects of Diablo 4. I would like to conclude that this game is actually worth playing. The developers really rounded out Diablo series with this game. It’s a step up from Diablo 3, and that’s really the most important thing I think they’re trying to accomplish.

I believe many players know that Blizzard released a new Diablo 4 Patch 1.0.3 on June 27. Importantly, Necromancer is full of amazing changes in the new patch.

Skill Improvement

First off, we can be thankful that the improved Blighted Corpse Explosion no longer blinds us completely. We can now see ground effects, enemies, corpses, and more. Not only is it great for us, but it’s also great for team play. So others are now more willing to team up with Necromancer as well.

Corpse Tendrils

Another hidden patch note is that Corpse Tendrils seem to work more consistently now. It’s always powerful, but often fails to draw some enemies, or doesn’t draw it far enough.

It will now be easier to group enemies, which will make managing advanced Nightmare Dungeons easier for many builds. They have buffed our basic abilities across the board, dealing more damage and giving more Essence.

Reap

They also made a significant improvement to Reap, so that it can provide corpses more frequently. It feels great if you use this to make sure you have corpses ready for Corpse Tendrils. Also, Diablo 4 servers are getting some much-needed damage improvements. While it still struggles to take damage from builds, it’s a nice boost.

Blood Lance

Supernatural Blood Lance got a huge buff in this patch. It will now guarantee to cast Overpower after every 7th cast, instead of reaching the 9th cast. But the higher your level, the shorter the casting cooldown. So I suggest that you can choose Diablo 4 Boosting Service to increase the level as soon as possible to achieve the purpose of fast casting.

Blood Lance is a weird ability, and for most of Diablo 4 it’s completely useless. Especially compared to Blood Surge, it feels like Blood Surge does the same thing, but its attack range is facing the whole screen.

But before that buff, Blood Lance was a strong option for Overpower builds once you had enough Essence cost and attack speed. This is because it has a higher Overpower modifier. It impales the target and can give it a chance to split Aspect. You can apply the effect to all enemies around and deal more Overpower damage than Blood Surge.

Plus, with increased consistency for Corpse Tendrils, it will be easier than ever to spread Blood Lance against tightly grouped stacks. I’m not yet sure if I’m going to try it properly, but I expect Blood Lance will probably outpace Blood Surge in pushing Nightmare Dungeons’ Overpower builds. Because it provides higher burst damage for tough Elite Packs.

Bone Prison

Bone Prison’s Cooldown Reduction, that’s a delicate touch. But you may still want to reduce Lucky Hit or your gear to Cooldown Reduction to make better use of this ability. But those 2 extra seconds make the ability to feel more useful, anyway. The defense buff is also almost doubled, which is outstanding.

You can now fill your defenses fairly reliably with just Bone Prison. Corpse Tendrils in particular are grouped more tightly to accommodate as many enemies as possible in effect.

Iron Maiden

Necromancer’s Iron Maiden ability has been greatly enhanced. But I’m still skeptical that the skill will be of much use. It needs some stronger aspects or interactions to really deserve a place in your skill bar.

It’s good to have more Blood Orbs on Corpse Tendrils, especially if your build doesn’t use Vulnerable. Because you’re in an Overpower build, or you can get Vulnerable from another skill.

Bone Spike

Bone Spike is our Dismount attack, which has also been buffed. Although this doesn’t make a good deal of sense for most of our gameplay. Because minions will now always attack the target with Curse. Right now our Curse is AOE, so having them directly attack what you want doesn’t seem like a useful approach.

Overall, this seems like a positive change, and we’ll just have to see how much of an impact it really has over the next few days.

Kalan’s Edict

Kalan’s Edict has been greatly buffed. While throughput remains the same, the frequency of its activity will be much higher than ever. Overpower builds can be delighted by this massive Rathma’s Vigor buff. Because the guaranteed Overpower advantage every 12 seconds can go a long way.

If you’re used to having it around tier 13, you’ll need to adjust to notice when it hits tier 10. That way, you don’t waste more Diablo 4 Gold on the wrong ability or in situations like a single remaining normal creature.

Buffing our Thorns passive is nice, but it’s still largely a dead talent for Necromancer.

Aspect Improvements

Aspect of Bursting Bones isn’t something I’ve actually used before, and the tooltip damage is still horribly low. Maybe there’s something I don’t know. Of course, if you think this is a meaningful change and Aspect, you can also try to use this Aspect.

Also, Flesh-Rending Aspect got a huge buff, but it’s still a horrible aspect. Fastblood Aspect has just been greatly enhanced, which is very exciting to me.

Mechanism Improvement

For builds using Bone Storm, they already have enough Cooldown Reduction to achieve near-permanent uptime. So this Aspect seems more suitable for improving your Blood Wave and Army of the Dead.

With enough Lucky Hit, Cooldown Reduction, and Blood Orb Generation. We might even see almost permanently functioning buildings on Unyielding Commander’s Aspect. This allows near-immortal pets to attack with incredible speed.

Overall, these patch notes are significant for Necromancer players. The improvements to Corpse Tendrils and Corpse Explosion visibility are already valuable changes. Even if our power doesn’t explode from them.

With Honkai Star Rail 1.2 right around the corner, we’ll also be getting free Yukong Banners in the new patch. We’ll detail why you might need her, how to use her, her strengths and weaknesses, as well as synergies and team comparisons.

But remember, this is pre-release, so don’t take the mechanics explanation as 100% fact. Because her Healing and Talents may be different at launch.

TLDR On Pulling

First, she is a Harmony unit. If you want meta, she can always find a use. She also belongs to Imaginary unit. You don’t need to pull her right away though, as we’re getting a free copy in Honkai Star Rail 1.2.

She’s a strong super carry buffer, but also has the potential to boost both DPS, just like Asta and Bronya. She also acts as a sub DPS, so she’s an elite unit to pick, and having her will give your Honkai Star Rail Accounts 3 different benefits.

Yukong Kit Rundown And Assumptions

Her normal attacks are standard and only deal damage, but her Talents do 30 Toughness damage. She also gains 2 stacks of the buff, Roaring Bowstrings. This has a maximum of 2 stacks. When it’s active, all allies’ attack power is increased. Yukong loses 1 stack each time an ally’s turn ends. This means that any ally who can cheat turns like Seele should be able to abuse this like baffling.

Yukong won’t take away Bowstring stacks on the turn she uses skills. Since this depends on the ally’s turn count, you can use multiple DPS ultimates during this buff, and they’ll all get a DPS boost.

Her Ultimate is a buff and a single target Nuke. Additionally, if her buff, Roaring Bowstrings, is active, she also increases her allies’ critical strike chance and critical strike damage. However, from the way the sub-stats and main stats are distributed, we can expect the crit chance gain to be much lower than the crit damage.

Pros & Cons

Next, let’s take a look at her pros and cons. For pro players, we have double DPS buffs. Therefore, any DPS will love her, and so will any sub DPS with her. Since she is a 4-Star Imaginary unit, we have no luck getting Imaginary element.

Plus, she has enhanced base damage and 90 ultimate Toughness damage. Therefore, it is estimated that she will cause at least 210 points of Toughness damage in 4 rounds. And the two attacks in her gear are also specialized, since she can abuse the best Light Cones in the game, or their corresponding Break Effect.

Now for her flaws. Since she has 2 stacks, she might really need to adjust her speed to be higher than your DPS so they can get that round. Her base stats are low. Harmony units always have a low base stat with a Taunt Value of 100.

Her Energy Generation may be required for her rotations, so you’ll need to get her to Ascension 6 to unlock it. Her Technique looks like a lot of fun to use, but that’s a downside. Because you have to know where all Technique Point Canisters are on the map.

Best Potential Relics

As for her best Relics, supports usually use Musketeer of Wild Wheat. Don’t use Wind Set as it will throw you out of sync in some cases. Also, if you use Ultimate every 2 turns, Wind Set will only give you more turns.

For Planar Ornaments, Fleet of the Ageless would be great for her. For main stats, if you speed tuning, a complete support build can be tank main stats, energy rope, and speed boots.

Tank stats mean she can survive, and she doesn’t scale any buffs based on her stats. So she doesn’t need to stack anything. Right now I think she’s going to be a good hybrid of DPS as well.

Best Potential Light Cones

With Light Cone, she can abuse Memories of the Past to gain energy. A 56% Break Effect is equivalent to an additional 16.8% delay when breaking an enemy’s weak point. But the damage is negligible because Imaginary has the weakest damage.

Past and Future is also an option, but requires speed adjustments. So for low DPS, I recommend you choose Memories of the Past.

Two Playstyles

As for playstyle, if you want to go all-in you can, and it will work just fine. You can also do a low DPS mix as she gives herself a huge damage output and a crit buff for huge last damage.

Additionally, her base attacks are also buffed, so she can do a ton of decent damage even though she’s a Harmony unit. Keep in mind that she has low base stats, so this is a dangerous playstyle.

You’ll also need to run Meshing Cogs or Memories of the Past, to replace the lack of energy rope. But her ego buff should give her some decent damage. You can also abuse the damage since she doesn’t get rid of her own Bowstring stack.

Break Effect Rope and Memories of the Past can give you 66.24% action delay when breaking enemies, and you will break a lot of imaginary weak enemies.

Synergies And Team Comps

For synergy, I’m going to use Welt and Luocha for mono Imaginary. Welt needs enough Effect Hit Rate to guarantee his debuff uptime and power. So it was fun to get him more Effect Hit Rate and give him those crits and attack buffs.

Luocha scales with his attack, so any buffs help his Healing. Since he doesn’t need to take turns healing, this means that every attack you make, as long as Yukong is buffed, will be more effective, and emergency skills will heal more.

The obvious and only mono Imaginary combination right now is Welt, Luocha, Yukong, and Silver Wolf. But Yukong is a Harmony unit, any team can go. I recommend taking a solo sustain and running a main DPS with flex. This could be a hypercarry with sub DPS, or another buffer and debuffer.

That’s all my analysis of the pre-release Yukong, I hope this helps you understand the character better. All in all, let’s look forward to Yukong.

Here I would like to introduce some recent updates on Lost Ark KR server. Because many people are curious about KR server status. So, I thought it would be great to share some updates on Lost Ark journey. Come with me now. Here’s everything that’s going to cover this improvement.

One thing you need to know before you start, here is the roadmap and update on KR with or without any content or future roadmap for global servers. So it’s more like a preview of updates to KR servers and improvements that have been done or are coming on KR.

Because compared with the global server, KR server has the leading update volume. So, through this content, maybe you can preview or look forward to the future of global servers. Therefore, this new content can serve as a reference for your Lost Ark journey.

As you can see, we’ve seen no major or noticeable updates on KR for about a month. Maybe they’re busy with this week’s events right now, so I’ve been waiting.

Lailai Island

This new adventure island is called Lailai Island. As you can see in the name itself. This is a concept island of Punika, which includes the same competition content as Monte Island.

Lailai Island is a small tower defense game island. With this contest, not only can you store more Lost Ark Gold, but you can also earn rewards that might be useful in your Lost Ark journey. Of course, these rewards also include Island Tokens, decoration for your Stronghold, and toy item.

PVP Season

The new PVP and Proving Grounds Seasons have already started on June 7, 2023. This might be a bit late news as I’m not such a PVP player. So, if you really want to play Lost Ark on KR, be sure to check out Proving Grounds as well.

Lost Ark Summer Notice

Finally, for Lost Ark’s summer announcement, perhaps the most anticipated part for all KR players. We are really hungry for new updates or news right now.

In Lost Ark, you may find some new information about upcoming new classes and new Legion Raids. Since LOA ON always brings us exciting news about Lost Ark. So, I kind of look forward to it.

In addition, when LOA starts, it means that a new Pass Season is coming. That means new Hyper Express Seasons are coming too. In other words, it’s time to develop a new character.

Hyper Express Seasons will provide a ton of level-boosting material for your journey to Lost Ark. Also, it will instantly take you to a certain continent, such as South Vern, or Maybe Elgacia. In addition, LOA ON will bring you more useful things through coupons. So, if you play Lost Ark on KR. Now might be a good time to start.

Preview Upcoming Updates

In fact, this notification is quite recent. In this summer’s update, you may notice an update to the low-level section. More like a system improvement for lower-level characters. So some layers could be integrated or improved in this summer update.

Currently, Tier 2 gear section has been improved. As the gear level itself goes down, maybe it allows you to move to a continent. Of course, remaining Tier 2 gear on your character can now be swapped out for epic Tier 3 gear.

Also Read: Lost Ark: You Should Know 8 Things

No matter what your Honing Level is, it will naturally be replaced by a Level 3 gear set. But if you want to move to the upper layer or the upper continent, you need to complete the previous world or continent tasks before entering, otherwise you cannot enter.

Also, in Stronghold Farming and Crafting, Tier 1 and Tier 2 materials or elements are now integrated into one part. Therefore, it is now possible to remove tier 2 materials such as flavors or crafting recipes. In other words, most low-level crafting and recipes are now integrated and are no longer available on your crafting or life tabs.

Meanwhile, Tier 3 gear has also received another improvement. Tier 3 sections are now tuned to levels 1250 to 1490, reducing the burden of Honing Sessions on these sections, and Honing Levels are also more compressed.

Before this notice, in most Tier 3 sections, you needed to craft 20 to reach item level 1490. But in this notice, this adjustment will only require 15 pieces of equipment to reach the 1490 item level. This means you can reach the 1490 gear level much faster than previous versions.

Of course, I didn’t notice the material requirement on the update page. But I think it’s the most impressive update notification, relieving low level players of Honing Sessions.

Legion Raids gear crafting is now more consistent. For weapons, you now only need Covetous Wing, which is a material that drops from Vykas. And for the helmet, you just need to get Demonic Beast’s Bone dropped by Valtan.

Also, in Honing on Tier 3, all Harmony Leap Stones are now changed to Tier 1 Leap Stones. We can exchange again the previous Leap Stone through NPC. And they also unified Oreha Fusion Material into a part, which is a rare Oreha Fusion Material.

As you can see in the notification, the simple Oreha Fusion Material will not be used further. Also, they’re shrinking Shadespire Tower’s floor. The previous version had 50 floors, but as announced in the notice, they will patch it to 20 floors.

In addition, Sailing Coin and Keys will be divided into two parts. Each Coin and Keys has 5 sections to choose from. But now I don’t think we have to carry too many Coins and Keys in the summer patch.

Because now all Engravings can be opened upon reaching level 50. Most importantly, all Engravings now start at level 1 when you turn on Engravings feature. In other words, if you reach level 50, as long as you turn on Engravings function, you can fully use all Engravings starting from level 1. This means you no longer need to read those uncommon Engravings books.

Ending

All in all, the above is all the content of Lost Ark update on KR server this time. If you really want to play Lost Ark on KR, then you should definitely not miss this update note.

Today let’s talk about an exciting new phase of WOTLK Classic Call Of The Crusade.

Background

In order to prepare for the last attack on Lich King. The union of Holy Warriors in Order of The Silver Hand and Argent Dawn decided to establish a base near Icecrown Citadel. This makes it possible to gather resources and identify warriors who will serve in Vanguard of their army.

Highlord Tirion Fordring organized a contest to test the potential heroes of Horde and Alliance. But Scourge Invasion soon appeared and spoiled the event. Undead’s attack ended with the appearance of the monstrous Crypt Lord Anub’arak. He attempted to destroy Tyrion’s elite force before it could gather.

New Function

We’re getting to know a lot of exciting new features. Includes new dungeons: Crusaders’ Coliseum, a new battleground Isle of Conquest, the rerelease of Onyxia’s Lair, Tier 9 set pieces and more. So let’s get started.

Crusaders’ Coliseum

One of the most exciting features of this phase is the new Crusaders’ Coliseum. It is located on Argent Tournament grounds at Icecrown Citadel.

There’s a brand new raid inside Coliseum: Trial of the Crusader and a new five-player dungeon, Trial of the Champion. Formidable Horde and Alliance Champions, a pack of monsters, and Scourge Invasion are some encounters you’ll face in this Gladiatorial arena.

Best of all, there are no trash mobs here. You can just step in, start each encounter, and move on to the next. Horde, Alliance, and Argent Crusade are all represented within Coliseum.

On Alliance side, you’ll find King Varian Wrynn in attendance alongside Lady Jaina Proudmoore. On Horde’s side are Warchief Thrall and Overlord Hellscream.

Trial Of The Champion

Let’s start by reviewing five-player dungeon: Trial of the Champion. How did you enjoy all these daily jousting while Coliseum was being built? The first encounter in Trial of the Champion is another rivalry. Depending on which faction you are in, you will face off against the champion of the rival faction.

For the second encounter, you’ll face one of two randomly selected, either Eadric the Pure, or Argent Confessor Paletress. Each boss has its own mechanics and specific loot, but there will also be shared loot in your cache rewards.

Finally, you’ll face Black Knight. So if you haven’t done any daily jousting, you might want to start so you can get some practice.

Trial Of The Crusader

Next, let’s move on to Trial of the Crusader raid. This is a brand new 10-man and 25-man raid copy. It features exciting new boss encounters, mechanics and loot. Including: Beasts of Northrend, Lord Jaraxxus Faction Champions, Twin Val’kyr, and Anub’arak.

There are four different versions of this WOTLK Classic raid: 10-player, 25-player, 10-player hero, and 25-player hero. Regular 10-man and 25-man battles appear in Trial of the Crusader, while Heroic version is called Trial of the Grand Crusader.

Both 10-player and 25-player instances of Crusader’s Coliseum will drop a new Emblem of Triumph. Heroic dungeons daily quest will award two Emblems of Triumph, and your currency and achievement tabs will update accordingly.

How To Get New Equipment?

If you’ve started your Argent Tournament daily, you’ll also get Champion’s Seal. Champion’s Seal is used on Tabards, Pets, Mounts, Gear, Heirlooms and more. They also drop from Trial of the Champion Heroic mode.

Other forms of currency include Emblems of Triumph, Trophy of the Crusade and Crusader Orb, all of which will be redeemable for gear like new tier sets.

The release of the new raid will offer nine tiers of items. Outside Crusader’s Coliseum, you’ll find vendors who trade in all level nine gear. So you need to prepare enough WOTLK Classic Gold and other currencies. Once you’re there, you can look around, talk to NPCs, and you’ll see who trades which Emblems for which level.

Isle Of Conquest

Next, let’s move on to the new battleground Isle of Conquest. If you like the vibe of Alterac Valley, then you might like Isle of Conquest. Same size, it can hold up to 80 players, 40 players per faction.

Its primary goal is to win by defeating the opposing faction’s generals or by losing resources. Just like in Alterac Valley. But players will also find secondary objectives. There are five captureable locations here, each offering its own benefits to the faction that controls it. Each secondary objective, each has its own details and complexities.

Onyxia’s Lair

Finally, let’s talk about Onyxia’s Lair. Originally introduced in the vanilla version of World of WarCraft as a 40-man raid. It quickly became a fan favorite thanks to its challenging mechanics, epic loot, and noteworthy memes.

But as we mentioned before, Onyxia’s Lair was re-released as 10 and 25 player raids. The re-release of Onyxia’s Lair comes as part of the run-up to World of WarCraft Cataclysm’s release, and it brings many changes to the game’s world.

To accompany the expansion, they’ve re-released Onyxia’s Lair encounter with an improved storyline and updated loot. The 10-player version of Onyxia’s Lair is designed to be accessible to a wider range of players, while the 25-player version offers greater challenges and more powerful loot.

That’s all I want to cover. I mainly want to cover everything included in Call of the Crusade patch. Hope this guide can help you better understand this new content and have a better start. Good luck.

I believe many players know the news of the recent New World patch 1.9.5 update. Here I will take you to detail the content of this update and my thoughts on it. Let’s start.

Patch Overview

This update, in addition to various bug fixes, now allows free access to Brimstone Sands for players of all levels. But there is still an insignificant problem. This bug affects the player’s first use of all emotes in the game.

But I’m not sure, they actually look cool, though maybe a little different issue. So let me show you the patch notes here, and then we’ll talk about it at the end.

As you’d expect from these patches. They started the downtime update on June 13th at 11pm PT and lasted for an hour. But depending on where in the world you are, standard rates and times apply.

Firework Emote

The patch notes have some interesting stuff, and I’m really curious about what you guys think. The flip side is that the first part of this patch note feels like an ad that usually comes with updates. We see them adding new stuff to the store. But as we’re just scrolling through it, you’ll notice that this update adds a lot of different emotes.

These Emotes are all Fireworks based and have no problem at all for me. Therefore, the main content of this update is Fireworks. I mean you heard me right, they’re going to put Fireworks.

A single Firework costs up to 1000 Marks of Fortune, or you can get a pack of 10 Fireworks for 10000 Marks of Fortune. I mean, it’s literally the same thing, same price. It doesn’t matter if there is no discount. But they have several Fireworks, including:

• Flower Firework Emote
• Dynasty Firework Emote
• Dryad Firework Emote
• Ancient Firework Emote
• Shooting Star Firework Emote

These Emotes are not individual, it is a whole Pack. This differs from getting 10 Fireworks directly. It’s actually a separate thing. You actually need to spend at least 25,000 Marks of Fortune for this.

But if you want to get all 5 Fireworks, there is still actually a discount. If you’re thinking about getting those Fireworks, I’m pretty sure there’s only one use for that. On top of that, you won’t be able to use it for free all the time, as you’ll still have to spend 1000 Marks of Fortune every time you use it. So these Fireworks are for really rich people who just want to show off.

I’m assuming so, because there’s no reason to get a pack of five if you’re only using it once. Even if you know people might like it. At the end of the day, it’s just a cosmetic thing. It doesn’t actually affect gameplay in any meaningful way that you know of.

Of course, if you’ve eliminated Fury of the Spriggan, throwing on some Fireworks to celebrate might make you happier. I kind of wish you could make it in a game, but I don’t really care.

Unlock Brimstone Sands

Then there’s also the notable opening here of Brimstone Sands. Many players indicated that this was unlocked as far back as New World patch 1.9.4. But they’re only now starting to mention it. I guess better late than never. I’m glad they’re making this change, and to be honest, my concern with the game in the long run is that it puts too much emphasis on vertical stuff.

You have to do X before you can do Y before you can do Z. At some point, they have to make X and Y easier. Because everyone you know well and has passed. So no one is doing it, so these are design issues and challenges. The team will have to face the future, but ultimately open this up as an open area.

Bug Fix

Then they also made fixes for some of these noteworthy issues. First, they fixed a very controversial issue that at least caused Leyson Reese not to appear in the designated location, thus blocking MSQ process.

Second, there was also an issue that resulted in Yonas not appearing on players who had not completed Ritual Quest prior to the release of Brimstone Sands has also been successfully fixed.

They also fixed an issue with Yonas’ idle animation, that would often trigger incorrect tool animations. Also, a bug that was very disruptive to gameplay has been fixed, which often prevented players from exchanging Fury of the Spriggan gear for New World Coins.

They also fixed an issue that was preventing players from completing Season Tasks related to non-repeatable quests. They fixed an issue that was preventing players from previewing Gryphon Item skins. As well as they fixed an issue that caused players to no longer see their character when switching screens on the main menu.

Final Thoughts

So aside from the fact that they added these Fireworks, it doesn’t look like a big patch this time around. We’re getting a lot of cool Firework Emotes from this update patch. Although many people don’t like these Fireworks, but it may be a nice decoration, if you don’t mind that it is a onetime use.

Finally, according to the devs, at least Season 1 will roughly end here for the next 22 days, so we’re ready to go into Season 2 anytime.

Needless to say, I’m eagerly awaiting more expansion packs, news and information. Plus, there’s some cool stuff rolling out to PTR this week, so we’ll keep testing it to keep you guys updated with all the latest short patch notes.

Many players have been waiting for Silver Wolf since its release, just like me. Before you start Hacking Universe, I have some information for you to get the most out of Hacking Reality with Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail.

Silver Wolf is a Quantum type Path of Nihility released by the first Banner of Honkai Star Rail1.1 patch. She is a very worthy character. If you haven’t tried it yet, you can try it out by getting an appropriate Honkai Star Rail Account.

Skills

Let’s review her abilities first so you can get a good idea of what exactly she does for your team. Her Talent gives Silver Wolf a chance to plant one of three bugs based on Trace level when attacking enemies. These bugs can debuff attack, defense or speed. Once implanted, bugs persist for three rounds.

Like most other characters, her basic attack deals Quantum damage equal to her attack stat based on Trace level, and also has a chance to plant bugs from her Talent.

Her abilities have a chance to give the target a random type of weakness to your party member based on Trace level and reduce their damage resistance to that type by 20% for 2 turns. If it is not possible to implant a weakness into an enemy, it will not reduce damage resistance. For example, if you have Lightning and Quantum types of characters, then the target already has both Lightning and Quantum weaknesses.

In addition, within 2 rounds, there is a chance to reduce the target’s All-Type Resistance by a certain percentage according to Trace level. On top of that, it also does the same amount of Quantum damage based on Trace level.

A really pleasant aspect of this ability is that if she implants a Quantum Weakness on a target, it can weaken many enemies at once. In my opinion, this is one of the most versatile and useful abilities in the entire game.

Her Ultimate, User Banned, has a chance to reduce the target enemy’s defense for 3 rounds according to Trace level. It also does a certain amount of Quantum damage based on Trace level.

How To Maximize Silver Wolf’s Damage?

If you build Silver Wolf correctly, you’ll be able to use her ult a lot. Her ultimate move will deal damage equal to 80% of the attack power of all enemies and deal toughness damage to all enemies regardless of the type of weakness.

Enemies that get Weakness Break Effect from it will always get Quantum Weakness Break Effect, even if they don’t have a Quantum Weakness. This technique is very useful and will help you prepare for the fight and deal good damage to most enemies at the beginning of the fight.

Overall, I think her outfit is pretty good at the basics. Even if I’m not managing a mono or dual type team, she has a lot of Utility. This allows her and your other characters to successfully deal massive damage and create opportunities for your heavy hitters.

At the same time, she becomes the most important support character on your team, allowing Seele to deal more damage to enemies who encounter Quantum’s weak point. I think any Hunt or Erudition unit would greatly benefit from the presence of Silver Wolf, even outside of the ability to grant weaknesses.

In the short time I’ve had Silver Wolf, she’s had an enormous impact on my team. When I needed the flexibility of choice for a two-team setup in Forgotten Memory and Memory of Chaos, she was an instant lock.

Traces

Now let’s look at her Traces. It extends the duration of bugs implanted by Silver Wolf by 1 turn. Every time Silver Wolf kills an enemy, there is a 65% chance to plant a random bug on the enemy.

Silver Wolf already distributes the debuff left and right, so considering her Technique has a good chance of crushing enemies at the start of combat. Inject increases the duration of her ability Weakness Inject by 1 turn.

If 3 or more debuffs affect the target, her last Trace ability reduces all type resistances by an additional 3%. 3% doesn’t seem like a lot, but it could be the difference between winning a melee fight and having to redo the same melee fight.

Eidolons

Moving on from her Trace ability, let’s take a look at her Eidolons.

E1: Social Engineering. This Eidolon provides Silver Wolf with 7 Power for each debuff the enemy has. This effect stacks up to 5 times for a total of 35 Power each time she uses Ultimate.

E2: Zombie Network. Reduces effect resistance by 20% when an enemy enters combat.

E3: Payload. It adds 2 levels to skills and talents, up to a maximum of 15 levels.

E4: Bounce Attack. 20% more Silver Wolf attack damage per debuff on the target. This effect stacks up to 5 times, increasing the total damage potential to 100% of Silver Wolf’s attack stat.

E5: Brute Force Attack. This increases her Ultimate by 2 levels, up to a maximum of 15. It increased her Basic Attack by 1 level, up to a maximum of 10 levels.

E6: Overlay Network. Silver Wolf deals 20% more damage to the target for each debuff the target has, capped at 100%.

If you have Eidolon 6 Silver Wolf, you can do a lot of damage as long as you can inflict enough debuffs on enemies. Eidolons don’t specify what type of debuff it is. So if you can get a couple of debuff units, how much damage potential Silver Wolfs could have with her ult. But I’m not sure if the result of doing this is necessarily suitable for all supporting roles.

Her damage is already pretty good at E0, so I wouldn’t worry about trying to get her Eidolons. Unless you really want to run her as the main DPS.

Relic Sets

As far as Relic Sets go, right now I’d go with Musketeer of Wild Wheat, since it adds both attack damage and speed. If you use Seele and Silver Wolf, you will consume skill points. So making Silver Wolf the fastest unit on the field means you can generate a lot of skill points, displacing her and Seele’s skills.

In terms of Planar Ornaments, I would go with Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise set. Because it both increases your Effect Hit Rate and gives you an attack bonus based on your Effect Hit Rate.

I think it’s worth digging out good gear for Silver Wolf. She’s a good enough character to warrant the work you put into Relic. I don’t have the best settings yet, but I’ll be using all of my Trailblaze power over the next few weeks to get a better one.

As a new character in Honkai Star Rail 1.1, Silver Wolf is unknown to many players. Here I will tell you 8 reasons why Silver Wolf must be worth your pull.

But first, a reminder that everything stated here is just my opinion and not conclusive evidence for deciding whether you should pull Silver Wolf. Please take all results with a grain of salt.

Synergy

She’s fine now, but she’ll get better with more characters. This is because in her current form, she works well with a Single target DPS like Seele and provides a tremendous benefit to your entire team.

But as a natural debuffer, when more characters come out, she can synergize with them and become more useful.

Unique Skills

She is not just a defense debuffer. In fact, she utilizes various debuffs to attack enemies’ weak points. Her basic attack can inflict random “Bug” debuffs on enemies.

Her skills allow her to impose the weaknesses of her allies on her enemies, reducing their resistance. Her Ultimate deals a lot of Quantum damage and has a chance to “Entangle” enemies, dealing extra damage and delaying their actions. She also has a passive ability that automatically applies Entanglement and Bug debuffs to her enemies.

Related: Honkai Star Rail: What Impact Will Silver Wolf Have On The Meta?

Finally, her unique ability allows her to ignore enemy weaknesses and drain their Toughness when entering combat. She has a chance to Entangle the enemy if the enemy’s weakness is exploited.

This means she is the best of all characters when it comes to debuffs. Because she can greatly reduce the speed of the enemy, cause a lot of damage to the enemy, and reduce the Toughness of the enemy.

Team Composition

She opens up possibilities for interesting team combinations. We can make up for RNG weakness of her skills with monotype team. This is something I don’t see often in Honkai Star Rail. But given that it doesn’t spawn Elemental Resonance like it did in Genshin Impact, it would be an interesting and viable team combo. Could theoretically do some baffling damage.

There is also Himeko as the main DPS and Burn applier. Plus Asta, she and Himeko fit together seamlessly. You can also use Fire Trailblazer as a shield and Silver Wolf debuff at the end.

In addition to monotype teams, she allows you to bring certain elements of your character into battle where enemies are usually resistant to that element. For example, you can take Silver Wolf, Seele, and two Lightning characters to the boss to fight against Svarog. This way, Silver Wolf will always apply Quantum weakness to Svarog.

Damage Buff

By my calculations, Silver Wolf increases my Seele’s damage against 20% Quantum RES enemies by about 48%. And the higher Quantum RES of the enemy, the higher the percentage of Silver Wolf’s damage increase to Seele.

Because the higher Quantum RES, the less damage Seele will do to enemies. So when Silver Wolf applies Quantum debuff, it reduces the enemy’s Quantum RES to 0%. This also applies to every character of every damage type in the game. In short, she increases the damage done by your DPS units across the board.

Complementary With Pela Skills

Silver Wolf differs completely from other Nihility units. For example, Pela’s focus is to use her ult to debuff all enemies in the field. In fact, although Silver Wolf increases the damage of my Seele to a 20% Quantum RES target by 48%.

But Pela can increase Seele’s damage to all 20% Quantum RES targets on the field by 43%. This means that Silver Wolf’s debuff is Single target, but has a higher rate smash defense than Pela’s debuff.

As mentioned earlier, Silver Wolf also debuffs several areas and applies weaknesses, while Pela only debuffs defenses and increases energy regeneration. This makes Silver Wolf a formidable unit.

Finally, Silver Wolf actually does a ton of damage. Don’t do that much damage like Pela, unless you put resources into her heart. It doesn’t mean she’s better than Pela or Pela is better than her. It just means that having a Silver Wolf will fill in the void for Pela’s debuff, and vice versa.

Strategic Debuff Stacking

Silver Wolf’s debuff ability opens up the possibility of strategic debuff stacking. By combining her debuffs with those of other characters on your team, you can create powerful synergies and enhance your overall debuffs on enemies. This strategic approach can significantly increase damage and improve the team’s overall effectiveness in combat.

Meta Doesn’t Matter

Honkai Star Rail is a PvE game where you can play as the character you want. Who cares how strong they are in Meta? Do you like Silver Wolf’s skills? Do you think she is cute? Do you like her animation and voice?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can try it out, regardless of what people are saying about her kit.

You don’t need to compete with other players, as long as your team is strong enough to clear the game content. And Silver Wolf is definitely a powerful support in your team. Calling her will not let you down. So, get a Honkai Star Rail Account and try out this role.

Role Conception

From her attire to her expressions, even her bubblegum. She might just be the coolest and cutest design in the game so far. You must definitely pull her if you want to own this divine design.

Final Thoughts

Here are 8 reasons why I summoned Silver Wolf. Keep in mind that her gear definitely has certain shortcomings, but in my opinion, she’s still a sympathetic character to work on.

Before you get Diablo 4 installed and ready to go, allow me to share five interesting reasons to dive headfirst into Diablo 4’s rich lore. Believe me, it’s worth it.

If your curiosity is piqued, let’s dig into these reasons, unraveling them and discovering why they can make your trip to Sanctuary even more fascinating.

Motivations And Decisions

The first reason is to understand the characters’ motivations and decisions. Knowing their backstories is not just for filling in content and talking to NPCs, it’s an important way to understand their behavior and how the story develops next.

Let’s take Lilith as an example. Once upon a time, an Artist made a promise never to hurt her. But she is stirring up all the trouble. We’re forced to run afoul of him before we even find her.

There is currently no obvious answer. Just to unravel the layers of conspiracy. This is the magic of seduction. It turns gameplay into investigation, finding clues, adding a whole additional dimension to the game. So knowing knowledge is not just for trivia. It adds depth to characters, provides a context for their actions, and potentially even influences the decisions we make in the game.

Understanding References

I know I wouldn’t be on the side of binaries if I could, and a good way to make these informed decisions is uncovering references. This is where the lore transforms Diablo 4 from a game of massive clicks into an epic adventure filled with moments of surprise.

Blizzard has a knack for filling their games with subtle uses of lore. For lovers of knowledge they are like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

Every discovery, every connection made adds a touch of satisfaction to your gaming experience as you learn about it. It’s like entering a secret world and makes the world of Diablo 4 feel more real and immersive.

Gaining lore can help you appreciate game content, but it turns your gameplay into a scavenger hunt. Each references another gem to add to your collection. If you quickly level up during the game to open more treasure hunting locations. Perhaps you can try Diablo 4 Power Level Boosting service to help you speed up the upgrade process.

Maximizing Value

When you’re putting around 70 Diablo 4 Gold into a game, you want to squeeze every last drop of value out of it. I think the law is where value is found. Understanding the law isn’t just about enjoying the main storyline, it’s about uncovering a whole world of content waiting to be discovered.

It’s like a key that opens many of the game’s locked doors, revealing more layers of the story. Have you ever noticed that some side quests seem to be irrelevant? But when you delve into the laws in the story, they seize on a whole new meaning.

Also Read: 5 Tips You Need To Master When Diablo 4 Release Hits

Or how in-game audio logs and gear descriptions often contain nuggets of law related to the larger story. This is no accident. It’s designed to enhance gameplay and provide a deeper, richer experience.

So not only does the law add another depth to the game, it also prolongs the engagement. Instead of simply rushing to the endgame to get the best gear. You’ll find yourself spending more time exploring every corner of the world, enjoying movies, listening to audio logs and poring over each item’s description.

Choosing A Class

A fourth reason will affect your choice of class. Next thing you might be thinking, what does the law have to do with my choice to be a Barbarian or Sorcerer?

Every class in Diablo has a backstory. A culture, a unique Sanctuary in the world. They’re not just a bunch of stats and abilities. They are characters with history and tradition. And Legal is where you’ll find all the useful information.

Let’s take Barbarian as an example. They’re not just muscular Warriors who like to smash things. They gave their lives protecting Sacred Tobe in Mount Airy. Now these noble Warriors roam Earth, seeking redemption for what they perceive as failures. Now, isn’t that more appealing than simply choosing a character?

The knowledge behind each class not only adds depth but also makes connections. You’re not just playing a character. It’s no longer about which character looks the coolest or has the best abilities, it’s about which story resonates with you the most.

It’s Awesome

This ultimate stop on our journey into the importance of Diablo’s Law brings us to the heart of the matter, the story itself. The fifth reason, and perhaps the most interesting one, is simply because Diablo lore is so interesting. This is a narrative revealed in shades of gray, complex characters, intricate moral dilemmas and hard choices.

Think about Norris and Lilith. They made decisions that would make most people think they were bad guys. But when you dig into their backstories, their motivations and intentions, things are not so clear.

It’s not just about good and evil. It’s about the characters and their struggles or victories and losses. It’s about world-building where heroes can go down and villains can have noble intentions. So if deep, nuanced storytelling is your thing, getting to know God in depth before playing the game is not just a suggestion, it’s a must.

Recap

Five solid reasons why knowing the lore before playing Diablo 4 can significantly enhance the gaming experience and allow you to truly understand each character’s motivations and decisions.

It provides background reference for the storyline throughout the game, maximizing your investment. It turns your gameplay into an epic adventure full of depth and discovery. It gives way to your classes choices, creating a connection between your ending and your character. Knowledge is not only power, it’s the key to unlocking unforgettable adventures.

Outro

All in all, if you haven’t entered the game yet, you might as well get to know more about the background of Diablo 4’s story first. Perhaps this will make your Sanctuary adventure more exciting.

Many players are curious which is the best Flicker Strike build in Path Of Exile. So here, we’ll pick three builds for this particular theme and analyze them in terms of their respective skills and strengths and weaknesses.

Nightblade Flicker Strike Raider

The first Flicker build is my personal favorite, Nightblade Flicker Strike Raider with Ranger class. This is a building where you can have it all. It can easily reach 10 million+ DPS. It’s a super tank, super fast as you can see in the game.

On the plus side of this build, I think it’s one of the most balanced builds I’ve played. It has super speed, damage and survivability. It also has satisfying blast gameplay.

Now listing the cons, I would say this build is not cheap. You’ll need some mandatory unique items that will cost more than one Divine Orb. There is also the problem that you need to control your character. Like with bosses like Queen Atziri and The Shaper, you need to know which clone to attack and keep an eye on your position.

Considering the budget, you’ll need at least six Divine Orbs to group them together. Luckily, you can get all the gear you need for this build through POE Currency.

Additionally, this build requires three mandatory unique items. First is Farrul’s Fur Body Armor, which ensures you always have a full Frenzy Charge on hand.

Next we also need a Yoke of Suffering Amulet, which makes all of our elemental damage stun enemies. Make them suffer more damage from all aspects. Finally, we need to turn the tank into a damage Perseverance Belt. It adds 1% damage for every 200 points of Armor and the lowest value between Evasion.

It also has a lot of boss damage. Especially when you can use Berserk skill. But this attack also does less damage to Pinnacle boss when it’s harder for us to accumulate rage.

This build has almost 200 000 effective health. Because it has High Armor, High Evasion, 100% Spell Suppression over 30% chance to block and high chance to avoid Elemental Ailments. I only pointed it out because of its low health regen and easy poisoning.

Infernal Flicker Strike Ascendant

Next up is Purity of Fire, which can also Freeze and Shock enemies. It is an Infernal Flicker Strike Ascendant with Scion class. This build is using their unique sword Oro’s Sacrifice to maintain Frenzy Charges you need to keep Flickering.

When it comes to the strengths of this build, its clearing speed must be on the list. Flicker is incredibly fast and super cool to play. This build also has amazing boss damage and high survivability.

Now to list the cons, the first thing that comes to mind is that you are always in proximity to enemies, which puts you in a weak position. Another problem is that you have little control over your character, which makes it difficult to watch your position or attack the right enemy bosses.

As for the budget, you can get an early endgame map and progress to the Yellow Map for only about 90 Chaos. I suggest that you can invest about 120 Chaos to complete your Atlas.

This build requires three mandatory unique items. The first and foremost is Oro’s Sacrifice, which lets you keep your Frenzy Charges alive at all times, even while Flickering.

Next we also need a Call of the Void Ring, which cools your attacks and smashes enemies. Lastly, we also need a Yoke of Suffering Amulet, which will cause all your damage to stun enemies, causing them to take more damage.

Like any other Flicker Strike, this build is also very fast. This build achieves high DPS, capable of destroying even the biggest bosses in mere seconds.

Flicker Strike Slayer

Finally, we have the classic and destructive Flicker Strike Slayer of Duelist class. This build is done by using Terminus Est to maintain Frenzy Charges you need to keep Flickering. For starters, here’s a great and simple build of Flicker Strike.

Talking about the advantages of the build, it actually has the same advantages as other Flicker builds. It’s surprisingly fast and has great boss damage. It now also has instant Life Leech for increased survivability.

Now to list the cons, I have to say that you are always very close to the enemy, which puts you in a weak position. Another problem is that you need to have a little control over your own character, which makes it difficult to watch your position or attack the correct enemy bosses.

As for Budget, you get a destructive early endgame map that requires around 90 Chaos and easily advances to Yellow Maps. I suggest you can invest around 120 Chaos and easily complete your Atlas.

For this build, you only need a mandatory unique item. Of course, keep your Frenzy Charges on your Terminus Est sword at all times, even when Flickering. It’s so easy to kill a boss like this.

That’s it, the above is what I consider the three best Flicker Strike builds in Path Of Exile. Which is your favourite? Please let me know what you think. Hope you have fun.

Seriously, Star Sentinel build is unstoppable while we’re in full tank mode with super high Magic Damage Negation and Poise.

We’re trying to maintain power, we’re constantly recovering, and we have a good chance of having dual Great Stars and high Affinities with our attacks. Not only do we have abilities like Godslayer’s Seal, Prayerful Strike Ash Of War, and Blessing of the Erdtree. We also have gear like Talisman and Bull-Goat Set.

The most important thing is that players can make this build when they first start the game, the threshold is very low. We also have optional defensive Incantations against different bosses. Here I’ll show you the build from all sides.

The Gear

Let’s start by taking a deeper look at gear and settings. Our weapon of choice is dual Great Stars plus 25 stars with high Affinities, Prayerful Strike Ash Of War, and our off-hand.

Weapons

Plus, we have Godslayer’s Seal plus 25 Incantations. Since Great Hammers in patch 1.09 added speed range recovery time and stat scaling, you can get two great Great Stars weapons in Altus Plateau.

Of these, one comes from a chest on the guarded Carriages on the map, and the other can only be dropped by defeating Magnus The Beast Claw.

Armor

On the map, players can find heavy Affinity’s Iron Whetblade in the armory at Stormveil Castle. The invisible Teardrop Scarab and Prayerful Strike Ash Of War drop under the short rock tunnel after unlocking Stonesword Key. Leyndell Royal Capital armor and Talisman at the west entrance make us stronger.

Talismans

We have a Bull-Goat Set which makes us a full-fledged tank with super high Poise. You can find Talisman by killing Great Horned Tragoth in Volcano Manor dungeon.

We’ll still have some variation depending on the situation. But we’ll start by finding Bull-Goat’s Talisman, which reduces Poise’s damage. We think it’s great in combination with our super high Poise. Also, you can get Bull-Goat’s Talisman from behind Dragonbarrow Cave at the entrance.

Next, we have Great-Jar’s Arsenal, which is increasing our gear loadout so we can maintain our medium roll speed. From it you can earn Great-Jar’s Arsenal as a reward for completing Great Challenge of defeating three NPC duelists in Dragonbarrow to the north.

Then we have 2 Erdtree’s Favor plus two that can improve my our Health, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman of Stamina. This greatly improves our Damage Negation.

We find an enclosed area from Ashen Capital to the left of Forbidden Lands. And Greatshield Talisman is located in Miquella’s Haligtree. It’s on a chest on an elevated platform inside the enormous building to the northeast, guarded by several monsters.

Incantations

We’ll look at the same strategy later with Incantations. And Old Lord’s Talisman is also another option that can be toggled in Flask of Wondrous Physick for a longer duration buff.

For even more damage offset, you might also consider one of Crystal Tears. We have Bloodflame Blade, which you can find on Scarab near Rose Church in Liunia of Lakes. You also get Blessing of the Erdtree, which heals us well over time. We can find this in Queen’s Bedchambers in Leyndell Royal Capital.

Then we have a series of Damage Negation Incantations. We can choose Black Flame’s Protection depending on what we’re fighting, greatly improving our physical defenses.

Next we have Barrier of Gold, which greatly increases our magic defense. We can find this at Royal Capital after fighting Shade of Godfrey. Finally, Black Flame’s Protection greatly increases our fire resistance. These defensive attacks and healing Incantations all help a lot with our builds.

Stat Spread

Next, let’s look at the statistics. Then we can get into the fight and see how all the gear mentioned above works for us. I started with Hero Class and our goal is to maximize Strength.

This build is Faith 60 points, Endurance 46 points, Strength 80 points, Dexterity 12 points. So with all of that in place, we’re now breaking the mold. Next, let’s talk about our Star Sentinel battle.

Combat

We start by optimizing our Blessing Of The Erdtree with Golden Vow and whatever defensive spell works best for the situation. We can use Flask of Wondrous Physick, restore FP and turn on Bloodflame Blade.

Then we switch to our dual Great Stars. We could easily trade with most bosses, and not only did Great Stars heal us and hit enemies, but they did blood damage. So, there’s no doubt that Star Sentinel is an unstoppable powerful building.

Final Thoughts

If you also have a Star Sentinel, I’d love to hear how you tweak this build. Also, I still recommend that you take advantage of Elden Ring Runes to get some suitable gear when creating this build. Trust me, this will definitely make your build stronger. Don’t forget that you can also get a 5% discount in IGGM.com with the code “CSCCA”. Come and try it out!

Today, I will share with you another build in Path Of Exile, Spark Inquisitor.

This is a very solid build, as it has many layers of defense. Includes 90% Max Resistance, Spell Suppression, Ailment Immunity, Max Block with Glancing Blows, 4 Endurance Charges, some Physical Damage as Elemental Damage, some Armor, some Restoration, while also having decent damage output.

Spark Inquisitor’s Defense Layers

So, let’s start talking about defense first. We are using Aegis Aurora and Crucible Trees which will give you maximum Cold Resistance.

We want to be able to stack as much maximum Cold Resistance as possible, since we’re using Melding of the Flesh. This makes your elemental resistance cast limited by your highest max elemental resistance, which is still cold damage in this case.

We get a bunch of maximum Cold Resistance from Shield and Purity of Ice. If you can get your Purity of Ice to level 23, this gives you an additional 5% maximum Cold Resistance buff.

If you are currently at a lower level, you only get the 4% maximum Cold Resistance buff. At the same time, you also get some Aura Effect so you can utilize Arrogance Support to use Purity of Ice for your health regen. Plus, it increases your Aura Effect by 25%.

You can get Aura Effect from body armor with Eldritch Implicit. We also get some spells from passive skill trees and anoint. While all Mana Reservation nodes have some Aura Effect, you even get some extra Intuitive Leap. This is how we get 90% Max Resistance.

How To Improve Equipment Resistance?

If you also want to increase Resistance of your equipment, you can use Melding of the Flesh, which will increase your Resistance by 70%-80%. Or you can use Thread of Hope, which also gives you a certain amount of Resistance. You only need 1 Divine Orb to make it re-roll.

We also have Spell Suppression, some of them from Crucible Trees. We also get a 15% Spell Suppression buff here when you Evasion on all 4 Armor pieces.

We got some passives from Magebane, and some gems from Green Nightmare. But two more things to note: the cold damage will act as additional confusion. At the same time, there is also a 12% Spell Suppression and a 7% damage increase. We also got some good Resistance while going through here.

Ailment Immunity

Then if you have 100% Spell Suppression, you will get Ailment Immunity easily. Since I have the new Jewel Ancestral Vision, we also get 50% Spell Suppression from Jewel.

Plus, you also get the remaining 50% from your boots through Essences and Eater of Worlds implicit, so it’s pretty much free Ailment Immunity.

Max Block With Glancing Blows

We also have Max Block with Glancing Blows. We get a lot of blocks from shields, for example, the spell block we got from Tempest Shield. If you want this Passive Mastery, you can gain an extra chance to block spell damage by utilizing Divergent Tempest Shield.

If you don’t have Divergent Tempest Shield, you basically have to allocate an extra skill point here for it to work properly. So if we want to do more damage with Nebulis, we have to get a good roll.

I actually have a Nebulis with an explosion, but it’s not necessary. You can get one with double damage, or just one Eldritch Implicit with decent damage output. Such as Crit Multi, Cast speed and a good Roll, or an excellent Crucible Trees.

Since we have decent regeneration, we also run Righteous Fire, which increases spell damage by 40%. And since our health is down, we also need to run Pain Attunement.

Precautions

As an Inquisitor, so if you want to get Crit, be sure to get 100% Crit Multi. You can get Bottled Faith or Crucible Trees’ passive skills from gems.

Remember, since we are an Inquisitor, our Crit ignores the enemy’s Elemental Resistance. Especially for these Monsters in White Maps all the way up to that Pinnacle Atlas Bosses, their Elemental Resistance is essentially always zero.

So as long as you are not under curses like Frostbite, Resistance is not the most important thing for you. Also, don’t bother looking for Cold Penetration Support as it won’t do anything for Spark Inquisitor.

For your curses, you only need to use it as Sniper’s Mark. Then for Cluster Jewels, they’re pretty good, especially Large Cluster Jewel, which gives you some Resistance and a decent amount of damage.

Although I only have 1 Large Cluster Jewel, you can run up to 4 Medium Cluster Jewels with Eye to Eye and Repeater. This does a lot of damage to enemies, but it might cost you some Resistance.

Mana Reservation And Life Reservation

Since we are also an Aura Stacker, you want to get as many Mana Reservations and Life Reservations as possible. 

The good thing about Ashes of the Stars is that it can provide players with certain Mana Reservation and Life Reservation. That’s why it’s a mandatory item for this build. So I suggest that you can first use POE Currency to get this equipment, which will be of great help to your equipment upgrade.

In addition, anoint will also give you a certain Mana Reservation and Life Reservation. You can also get some Life Reservations through Enlighten Support. It is associated with Purity of Ice and Vitality that comes into your life. There is also a Mastery that allows you to increase your Life Reservation by 20%, and of course, as much Mana Reservation as possible.

That’s all for me to create my Spark Inquisitor build and upgrade and what to look out for. Hope this helps you guys when trying this build. Have a great day.
