Games We Are Thankful For In 2020

Though the complexity of physical combat isn't entirely deep, it's the tactical side of things where most of the focus is placed. The continuous push for elemental buffs and certain status ailments on your enemies, made possible when you combine two or more elements in a given situation. Come across foes that are comprised of ice? Best to rid their armor with a character specializing in fire abilities, but not before having that interact with wind and topping it off with a clash of an electric super move that causes you to chain together damage to nearby enemies. While you can mostly get by simply throwing everything but the kitchen sink at things, later on the game does require players to think more strategically about the kind of elemental properties they want to wield. More importantly, when it might be best to use specific abilities -- some running on a cool-down, others requiring a slightly lengthier charge up. But even at its most basic level, when taking out the elemental mechanics and the desire to multiply one's damage output, there's a simple pleasure in seeing your character hack-and-slash away. A more satisfying sight when such encounters have you surrounded on all fronts -- some enemies even trying to stay back so as to unleash their own area-of-effect or elemental-based ailments.


Genshin Impact's Diona is an excellent Bow user who wields the Cryo vision. She is an incredible Cryo character and her kit is ideal for a support role in your party. She is designed to provide excellent shields and heals for your party. When paired with the right characters, her Cryo element can help out with Elemental reactions for some extra dam


The Pyro Traveler is a versatile unit that can operate as both on-field and off-field DPS. Before getting their C6, the Pyro Traveler operates purely as an off-field Sub-DPS who gets on the field to enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and starts dealing off-field Pyro DMG. If you’re playing them like that, build the Pyro Traveler with 4pc of Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City to maximize their off-field presence by buffing their t


Players pursuing the Abyss in Genshin Impact know Hydro-toting Abyss Mages and Abyss Heralds are extremely time-consuming to kill due to their tough bubble shields. However, Dendro is the best Element to bring in a comp specifically for their destructive potential - simply pair a Dendro and a Pyro to trigger Burning consistently and burn through their shields in no t


Unlocked at Ascension 1, this Passive Talent increases the Movement Speed (+10 percent) and decreases Stamina Consumption (-10 percent) of characters shielded by Icy Paws. This means you will get some additional stamina to dash and evade various attacks. This can be especially useful in some sticky situati

While there's a period around ten hours in where the showering of XP, resources and crafting material shrinks to that of a trickle, credit where credit's due. Genshin Impact is not as predatory or as manipulative with progression as this kind of business model may allude towards. Yes, that's not to say that the meager doling out of Primagems (one of the many form of currencies) doesn't eventually devolve from dismissive, to a touch annoying, to downright aggravating. Not least because in-SLG Game Heroes achievements and challenges also suffer from this same deliberate smidgen of an offering. So little in the way of crucial currency; obviously it's an attempt to further coax players to the in-game shop where everything, including the potential pull of a four-star (maybe even five-star) weapon or new character dangles in front of you. Another ten pulls and you're sure to get it this time.


Diona’s Constellation 2, ‘ Shaken, Not Purred’ (hard to miss that James Bond Reference), will increase her Elemental Skill Damage and Shield Damage Absorption by 15 percent. Along with that, when her projectiles hit the enemies, it will generate a shield for all nearby allies with 50 percent strength for five seconds. This is especially useful in Co-op m

While there have been plenty of excellent releases this year, it’s still Persona 5: Royal that I’m most thankful for. The changes and additions it made to an already-awesome game all felt natural, as if they were meant to be there all along. Getting to know Kasumi and Maruki was just as interesting as developing friendships with the other characters. The combat was wonderfully spiced-up and the extra endings let me play out a couple of "what-if" scenarios that’d been bouncing around in my head ever since I finished the original in 2017. It also helped that this came during a big move for me, so it was nice to have a good mix of old and new to help take my mind off it and ease the transition. There may be better games out there, but Persona 5: Royal is hands-down my highlight of 2020 thus far.

As for the best 5-Star weapon, opt for Freedom-Sworn as it increases the Anemo Traveler’s Elemental Mastery and fully unlocks their status as a Support by increasing their entire team attack and Normal, Charged, and Plunging DMG. Alternatively, Key of Khaj-Nisut and Skyward Blade are also viable. For F2P, go for Sacrificial Sword , Festering Desire , or Favonius Sword as they increase the Anemo Traveler’s Energy Recharge and help them cast their Elemental Burst more of
