As players can remember, Adventure Rank 45 players can access Mystic Offerings at the Crafting Bench, of which they can sacrifice three 5-Star Artifacts to get one Artifact Strongbox. This Strongbox will contain a Random Artifact from a chosen set. Interestingly enough, Artifact Strongboxes have a 33% chance of yielding a 4-stat Artifact, making it an ideal “second option” for players who have quite a lot of spare 5-Star Artifacts but no unit to use t

They say it’s the little things that count the most. For a number of enemy mobs in Genshin Impact, they’re right. The Abyss Mages are pint-sized paragons of pain, and the bane of Travelers everywh

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving every November. It’s a time when families gather, friends reconnect and communities unite. On Thanksgiving you also announce what you’re thankful for in life, so several of our writers decided to let everyone know exactly which video games they’re thankful for. These thanks are comprised of releases from Thanksgiving 2019 to Thanksgiving 2020 and made up of a variety of reasons. Read on to see the titles everyone decided were personally meaningful enough from the past year to make the list!

Between long-running memes, the odd poorly explained mechanic, and pure luck, Genshin has a number of elements for players to brush up against in some way or other, and experimentation is natural. These are some shenanigans all gamers are sure to get up to in miHoYo’s magical wo

Choosing a game to be thankful for in 2020 can be tricky. Given the current state of the world and how many of us are looking for ways to keep occupied while cooped up, I feel like we should be thankful for virtually any good, engaging games. But the one that I was thankful for the most is a game that felt optimistic, warm, comforting and colorful. Even if said game is about ferrying the souls of the dead towards the afterlife. I am, of course, referring to Thunder Lotus’ Spiritfarer. Aside from being a possible GOTY contender in general, Spiritfarer hit a certain sweet spot for me, not only giving me the freedom to craft an insane ship filled with tons of activities and giving me an open world to explore, but also providing one of the year’s best casts of characters. Azul, Gustav, Stanley…all of them were a blast to hang out with and I truly felt a bond between them as I learned more about their stories. It got to the point where I actually purchased the art book because I heard it had more info about them, and once I learned what not only went into their backstories, but how the world around them is all related to everyone and Stella in various ways, and the absolute tons of metaphorical layers that went into everything, I couldn’t stop thinking about Spiritfarer for the longest time, about how what I thought were small bits suddenly had much more meaning. And all of this is just so refreshing. In a year where other games try to attempt drama by being continuously blunt, bleak and depressing by presenting horrible situation after horrible situation to the point where it almost cartoonishly feels like award bait and you stop caring about everyone in the plot, Spiritfarer decided to go hard in the opposite direction. Vibrant landscapes, cute animal characters who just want to hang out with you, a vast ocean filled with magical adventures…all of this means that when the emotional moments reveal themselves in a natural way and do hit, they hit hard. Spiritfarer never stops being comforting as a whole, but it deals with the themes of death and how everyone approaches them in such a beautiful, mature fashion. It’s a brilliant bit of fantasy with the year’s best writing and it’s something we all need right now.

When you use his Elemental Skill, Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma , it generates transient blossoms. These transient blossoms deal AoE Geo damage based on his defense stat.

No matter your skill level, everyone messes up with stamina at some point.
