Games We Are Thankful For In 2020
Diona being a Cryo healer and shielder naturally points to her supporting a Cryo team. Cryo Resonance is extremely strong, providing your team with a 15 percent bonus Crit Rate when attacking an enemy that is Frozen or affected by Cryo. Moreover, every other Cryo character in the game is built as a damage dealer who often needs someone to buff and protect them, which is where Diona comes
Genshin Impact is technically a mobile game, but there's a lot more to it than that. More so than any other mobile SLG Game Building guide we've played, Genshin Impact is overflowing with content. There's tons of depth to its systems/combat, a vast amount of things players can do at any one point, and it even has the developers asking fans for their inp
Any game that's branded as a "free-to-play" title is almost immediately going to get inundated with any number of negative connotations and accusations alike. Long-winded, grind-inducing, predatory, a matter of luck over skill on the kind of content you’re granted outside of some voluntary, monetary investment. It may sound dismissive and pessimistic, but the number of such games whose priorities with maintaining a steady revenue stream doesn’t get in the way of the base game offered are few and far between. Enter Genshin Impact, developer miHoYo’s far from first rodeo on the F2P frontier -- itself thrown many a condescending remark on being a clone of this or imitation of that. The similarities are there to see of course and while admittedly a touch obvious in parts, what I’m most thankful for with Genshin Impact is the genuine effort and design miHoYo have placed in crafting an enjoyable action RPG to start. A live service, continually-expanding release this may be, Genshin Impact’s starting world, its gameplay, its sheer breadth of exploration put many similar open-world efforts, let alone F2P attempts, to shame. To state with hand on heart I’ve now clocked near to 40 hours and still not spent a single penny -- occasionally tempting it may be -- I’m grateful that Genshin Impact has taken a more sensible approach to F2P games: satisfying base game first, additional monetization second as an option.
Thanks to the steady Cryo DMG that Diona can apply to opponents with her Burst, she can act as a decent catalyst for teams that utilize the Melt Reaction . These teams employ Pyro DPS characters alongside Cryo supports, and herein lies a secret synergy: Diona’s shield actually possesses a 250 percent Cryo DMG Absorption Bonus , which will work wonders against the Cryo enemies that Pyro characters typically prefer to fi
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
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 Path works similarly to the Weapon Banner's Epitomized Path system, with some differences. Players chart a course for whichever five-star character or weapon they hope to pull. When they pull a five-star, it's a 50/50 split whether they get the one they selected or a different one. If they lose the 50/50, the next five-star is a guaranteed win. It's a gamble between the selected five-star and all the other featured five-stars, not a gamble between the featured five-star and a Standard p
Most of the Anemo Traveler’s mechanics revolve around casting their Elemental Skill and Burst. Moreover, if you build your Anemo Traveler with 4pc of Viridescent Venerer , it will take advantage of the Anemo supportive capabilities through every Swirl reaction in Genshin Impact . For this reason, you want to focus on using the Traveler as an Anemo Support to deal Anemo DMG and trigger the Swirl Reaction as often as possible. The Anemo Traveler doesn’t need fancy stats like ATK or the Critical ones. All they need is Elemental Mastery and Energy Recha
When building your Genshin Impact party, one important thing to remember is Elemental Resonance. When you have two characters of the same element, it will trigger Elemental Resonance and offer a significant buff to your party. Every element has a different Elemental Resonance b
Since many characters require Stamina to use a stronger version of their attacks, managing it can be a bit tricky. But here is where Diona’s Passive Talent, Cat's Tail Secret Menu , can come in ha
This is because it’s only at Adventure Rank 45 that Level 90 Artifact Domains get unlocked, which then guarantee a 5-Star Artifact on completion. Not only that, the next Talent Book tier drops at AR 45, making it much easier and much faster to grind for books that level up not just mains but also support characters and even new characters. The latter is important, as it can get quite resource-intensive to Ascend characters given not just their Mora cost but also the overall grind to get their necessary resour
