Games We Are Thankful For In 2020
In 2024, Hoyoverse introduced the Chronicled Wish, a new type of banner that only runs periodically. This banner is special in that it features a large roster of limited five-star characters and weapons, some Standard five-stars, and a specific pool of four-star weapons and characters. Three-star weapons are also obtaina
Chronicled Wish pulls use Intertwined Fates, and feature the same pity system where a five-star is guaranteed at 90 pulls, though with this, it applies to both characters and weapons. Four-stars are guaranteed every ten pulls. Also like normal banners, the five-star pull works on a 50/50 system. However, instead of being 50% the featured character/weapon and 50% a Standard Banner character/weapon, the Chronicled Wish uses a new mechanic called Chronicled P
Surprisingly, Dendro is one of the best Elements for the Traveler in Genshin Impact . It even has a decent build that can help their team deal a lot of damage through Dendro reactions in Genshin Impact . The Dendro Traveler also has a good Dendro application through their Elemental Burst, which helps them take advantage of the effect of the 4pc of Deepwood Memories . With that set, the Dendro Traveler can keep shredding enemies’ Dendro resistance and help their team deal more Dendro
When the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched in 2017 it was praised for its action, storyline, open-world and more. It has become the epitome of what a Zelda game could and should be. And while all that is terrific, some answers remained a mystery until the recent release of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Here, we find out about the events that occurred leading up to Ganon's takeover of Hyrule. It bridges the gap between past and present. Plus, getting to play as some of the Champions, Zelda herself and others from the series, is a dream come true. It was a surprise when the game was announced since the first Hyrule Warriors came out in 2014 as its own original title. But basing this version off of pre-existing content adds tons of new tidbits for fans to enjoy. Plus, Age of Calamity gives us something to do before the release of Breath of the Wild's sequel. This is why I am thankful for the SLG game resource management; it satisfies the need and want for more Zelda.
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
Regardless of whether the soft pity was triggered, the counters toward a guaranteed 4-star or 5-star item immediately reset upon receiving an item of one of those rarities . While this may be well understood from the preceding description of the mechanic, it is worth clarify
But as alluded to near the beginning of this review, Genshin Impact does falter at the point where it seems the SLG game units is destined for undeniably phenomenal heights. Not entirely a deal-breaker or one that takes the player completely out of the accomplished immersion of its world or even its combat. But when totted up, does signal a game that could've used a bit more checking-over. When it comes to tackling some of the more technical components, Genshin Impact drops the ball one too many times. Even if you were to disregard the nature of the narrative or the way in which a group of characters can, at their worst, talk extensively (and absently off-screen worst of all), there's a notable disconnect when the game, for example, continues to refer to your male sibling character as "she" or "her." It isn't the only basic error that crops up with many an instance of dialogue cutting off mid-conversation, not matching up with what's written on-screen and at one point, a mere line of dialogue getting stuck on-screen for the rest of one's play session.
But perhaps the most crucial consolation in this part especially is indeed the breadth of content on offer in Genshin Impact. From environmental puzzles to work out, to small enemy camps to clear, to brief challenges that reward another chest to open, even just taking a glance at the map and spotting a more conspicuous landmark. To venture to said landmark and find a higher-level and [thankfully] more aggressive boss show up. Most of these content placements do feed back into the continual progression of XP and AR and currency (and of the game doing its subtle best to convince us to drop some money into the Gacha side of things). Like its inspirations, some of these are more blatant and unapologetic than others. But where Genshin's true purposes may not always be purely innocent in nature, what stops the experience from turning in sour or predatory most of all, is the thoughtful craft at which the world is structured. How, like Breath of the Wild, there's no right answer to exploring in of itself, but there's an answer to such things like "how do I get that collectible when it's all the way up there?"
