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 slg game news 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.
As one of the earliest characters to be introduced to Genshin Impact , Diona Kätzlein has had ample time to solidify her role in the game. The alcohol-despising bartender is still Genshin Impact’s only Cryo healer and shielder (Kaeya’s C4 shield doesn’t really count), meaning that Diona has no contest for her role until another Cryo support like her comes al
The best pairings with Diona in this composition are Pyro teammates who can battle reliably inside the AOE of Diona’s Burst so that enemies stay within it, and you can benefit from the passive healing. Diona’s entrepreneurial rival, Diluc , serves this role particularly well; or you can opt for more of a wine-and-dine experience with master chef Xiangling on your team. Either way, combo-ing their Pyro abilities with Diona’s Cryo application, healing, and shielding will form a potent core for your t
The Dendro Traveler’s scaling is decent enough for them to operate as a Sub-DPS in Genshin Impact . For that, giving them Elemental Mastery, Dendro DMG, and Crit items is viable for their build. However, they still lean more into the supportive role, so giving them weapons like Freedom-Sworn and Xiphos' Moonlight is more helpful to the t
Diona’s shield may not be the most formidable in Genshin Impact, but it can still ward off a few rogue hits from enemies before falling. The Cat’s Tail tavern’s resident mixologist also has a signature drink in her Elemental Burst, which deals periodic Cryo DMG to foes and slowly heals your active character inside the zone. The consistent Cryo application makes sure that Frozen enemies don’t thaw out , so you can maintain the Crit Rate bonus from Cryo Resonance and the Blizzard Strayer Artifact Set that your DPS is probably runn
For instance, Raiden is not just among the best DPS in the game right now, but she especially excels when in a hypercarry team with Bennett and Kazuha. This isn’t just because Bennett can boost Raiden’s damage with his kit, but rather allow the likes of Kazuha to take advantage of Bennett’s Pyro self-infusion to add fire to his Ultimate which, if hitting an Electro-affected target courtesy of Raiden, can help Kazuha’s hits reach 9-11k dam
