Fragmented Logs quest is a high-risk,high-reward, and mandatory key quest in Arc Raiders. It's part of Flashpoint update, and Shani will immediately give you this quest after you complete Dust on the Wires quest.

Completing the quest will reward you handsomely: two core items that are extremely useful in the game.

However, the quest itself is very dangerous. The quest location is in Stella Montis, where Shredders patrol everywhere, especially the three quest locations you need to reach.

Fortunately, this quest is permanently saved, so you don't have to worry about starting over after a failure. Therefore, you can complete the quest in stages. Here, I will break down the quest into several parts to explain the main content and some survival strategies so you can complete it faster and safer.

Quest Content

After completing Dust on the Wires quest, you can accept the quest by talking to Shani, the merchant in Speranza. This task is simple: you just need to travel to three locations scattered throughout Stella Montis to repair the terminal, power up the old machines in each location, and restore historical data.

The task consists of three main parts: repairing the faulty terminal, powering on the equipment, and powering on the main data terminal. You can choose to save the previous task and complete it in batches.

Repairing Faulty Terminal

This task requires you to go to Robotic Sandbox in the central area of ​​Stella Montis to find and repair the faulty terminal. Many people search every room after entering the map, but this terminal is in the control room of Robotic Sandbox.

Robotic Sandbox has two control rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side, located between areas A and B. Find the terminal to be repaired in the control room; it might be next to a heptagonal desk or against a wall.

Once you find the terminal, repair it by replacing the faulty part with a new Electrical Component. It's worth noting that you should prepare this Electrical Component in advance, as it is difficult to find in Robotic Sandbox, takes a long time, and is dangerous because of the many patrolling Shredders outside. So, you can prepare in advance before completing this mission. There are two ways to obtain Electrical Components: one is by crafting them at the Refiner in Speranza, and the other is by salvaging specific equipment in the game or scavenging in electrical areas.

Powering On

After repairing the terminal, head to the east side of Area A in Robotic Sandbox. There might be signs above the entrance such as Control Room.

Look for small rooms with doors in the walls. Enter any of Conduit Backrooms, and you'll see a main power switch with yellow tape on the casing of a terminal block. It's usually located between large server terminals; interact with it and pull the switch.

Powering Onboard Data Terminal

This is the final step of the mission, the longest and most dangerous part. You might encounter patrolling Shredders along the way, so it's best to bring combat-ready weapons and Arc Raiders Items before starting this mission.

This mission requires you to go to Cultural Archives on the far east side of Stella Montis map.

Upon entering Cultural Archives, head to the easternmost protruding room. This room may be a server room. Go through another door to the smallest room inside, find the terminal within the final server, and interact with it to activate it and complete the mission.

Completion Rewards

After completing all three missions, return to Speranza and deliver the rewards to Shani. You will receive three Showstoppers and three Trailblazers. Both are rare items.

Showstopper

Showstopper is an electromagnetic stun grenade, primarily used for tactical control. Upon explosion, it stuns enemies in the area. Its Blueprint drops randomly across the map, with a higher probability of finding it in high-value containers and special loot boxes in Military Zones, Ammunition Depots, Industrial Zones, etc.

Crafting it requires Explosives Workshop Level 3 and costs one Advanced Electrical Component and one Voltage Converter. Alternatively, you can obtain it directly from a merchant for 1,600 Arc Raiders Coins.

Trailblazer

Trailblazer is a chain-reaction explosive grenade used for area control. Upon detonation, it creates a trail of flammable gas that delays a chain reaction explosion. After the official Flashpoint update, Trailblazer has transitioned from a damage core to a tactical tool for area control, clearing mobs, or coordinating with teammates.

Blueprint for crafting Trailblazer can be found in Electrical Boxes within Seed Vault in Stella Montis. Once found, it requires a Level 3 Explosives Workshop and one Synthetic Fuel and one Explosive Compound to craft.

Survival Strategies

Ensure the room is safe before interacting with terminals or machines. Stella Montis is filled with ARCs and Shredders; interacting with terminals will lock your character in place, and ARCs in the room will ambush you.

Electrical Component used for missions is a consumable. If you have a higher-level security pocket, such as Augment, equip it and put Electrical Component inside. This way, even if you die before completing the mission, you won't lose Electrical Component. Keep an eye on the minimap. The mission is indoors, with very limited visibility. While you're focused on your objective, other players and ARCs might appear behind you, posing a threat to your safety.

In short, this mission isn't too difficult. As long as you carefully read this guide before setting off, you'll have a clear understanding of the mission details and things to watch out for, allowing you to complete it efficiently and safely in the shortest amount of time.

In Path of Exile, Carrion Golems & Zombies Necromancer is a powerful, all-around summoner build. This build utilizes convocation to stack summons, increasing farming efficiency and allowing you to focus all your damage on a single target.

This build uses Carrion Golems and Zombies to inflict high Poison and Chaos damage. Your farming speed relies on items that produce explosive effects, such as Asenath's Gentle Touch or Cane of Kulemak equipped on Animate Guardian.

Defensively, you'll need high Life Pool, Life Regen, Life Leech, Endurance Charges, Physical Damage Reduction, Energy Shield, continuously increasing Maximum Elemental Resistances, and high attack and spell block chance.

This build doesn't require any uniques to function, but the following items will help you maximize your damage output: Primordial Harmony, Anima Stone, Rational Doctrine, Amanamu's Gaze, and Ashes of Stars.

Next, this guide will provide a detailed breakdown of PoE 3.28 Carrion Golems & Zombies Necromancer build.

Ascendancy

Commander of Darkness is an Aura that increases your own and your summoned creatures' maximum resistances while also dealing damage. It's a good choice in the early game of PoE, but you'll likely replace it later as you can compensate for insufficient damage and resistances with gear.

You don't need any specific stats or resistances; just ensure your total resistances and stats from all your gear meet the requirements. Unless otherwise stated, your maximum resistances must be at least 75%!

Mindless Aggression is chosen because it lies on your next two Ascendancy paths.

Unnatural Strength converts physical damage dealt by your summoned creatures into Chaos damage. This means all your damage sources will be affected by withered on hit and Void Manipulation.

Bone Barrier provides passive health regeneration when your summons deal damage. Additionally, it provides physical damage reduction and significantly improves your summons' survivability.

In the early game of PoE, as your gear gains more resistances, you can reset Commander of Darkness to Mistress of Sacrifice. At this point, replace Flesh Offering with Bone Offering.

In the mid-game, when you have Rational Doctrine, you can reset Respec from Mistress of Sacrifice to Lycia Bloodline Bitter Heresy.

Skills

Before you reach level 4, choose either Rolling Magma or Freezing Pulse as your primary skill. After completing Breaking Some Eggs quest, immediately replace your previous skill with Summon Raging Spirit, and obtain Holy Flame Totem from Nessa as your secondary skill.

Before you reach level 21, unlock Minion Defence Mastery; your minions will die easily. Before obtaining this Mastery, if your minions keep dying, don't waste time resummoning them, but in the meantime, be sure to socket and upgrade your gems.

Around level 46, you will have both Sovereignty and Mana Mastery. Equip and activate Purity of Elements. After that, try to obtain two additional Raise Spectre gems and one Animate Guardian gem. Place them in your weapon swap slot; when they reach level 20, there's a chance to corrupt them to level 21.

Jewel

Upon entering PoE campaign, your primary objective is to find Death Attunement and obtain a Small Cluster Jewel with Enduring Composure notable. Afterward, upgrade Endurance and Stamina as quickly as possible to improve your survivability. Two other important jewels are One Abyss Jewel with Taunt and One Abyss Jewel with Leech.

The key to this build's significant damage boost lies in giving your Minions a 100% chance to poison enemies. For this, you'll need multiple Ghastly Eye Jewels with Minions have Chance to Poison Enemies on hit modifier. Ensure at least one of them also has Minions taunt on hit affix and at least one has Minions Leech of damage as Life modifier.

To further enhance your damage and summon survivability, you'll need the following unique gems:

• 1 Anima Stone
• 1 Primordial Might (If this one is very expensive, get another Harmony)
• 1-3 Primordial Harmony (This reduces the cooldown for your Summon Carrion Golem of Scavenging's skills)
• 1 Primordial Eminence (This becomes less useful later)

You can have other modifiers, but you should prioritize physical damage reduction affixes:

• Obtain 5-6 Valako Shieldbearers to increase your attack block chance.
• Using 5-7 Tattoos of Hinekora Warmonger will improve your Minions' survivability.

Afterwards, you'll need to continue using these jewels and unique items to upgrade your gear level:

• Amanamu's Gaze to massively increase Poison damage your Minions deal.
• Late 8 Passive (Minion Damage, Strength, and Maximum Life)
• Late 12 Passive (Minion Damage, Resistances, and Maximum Life)
• Late 4-5 Passive (Minion Survivability, Minion Leech, and Strength)
• Watcher's Eye (Physical damage reduction and attack block chance)

Because these jewels and items are relatively difficult to obtain, you can choose to acquire them directly using Path of Exile Currency.

This concludes this guide. While Carrion Golems & Zombies Necromancer Build is indeed quite complex, it's undeniably a very strong build in Path of Exile. If you have ample time, you can spend more time studying it; it will surely bring you unexpected rewards. Of course, if you have any further questions, you can also discuss them with each other.

In Diablo 4 Season 12, a Necromancer Build centered on Bone Splinter emerged as a dark horse, successfully reaching the top of the endgame Build rankings thanks to its near-trillion-level single-target DPS, flexible gear switching mechanics, and relatively low investment cost.

Whether you're aiming for ultimate boss kills or need to efficiently farm Hordes and Helltide, this Build can handle it all with ease.

Build Positioning and Core Advantages

With the nerfs to Bloodsoaked Sigils in Torment 7, Necromancer Build, centered on Bone Splinter's basic attack, became one of the strongest endgame Builds for this class because of its extremely high single-target damage output and relatively easy-to-obtain Diablo 4 items.

The core advantage of this Build lies in its ability to deal near-trillion-level DPS to boss targets, while also possessing a flexible gear switching mechanic, adaptable to various game scenarios such as AFK, one-button play, Hordes, and Helltide farming.

The core damage source of this Build is Shattered Spirit skill effect. Each time Bone Spirit is cast, it fires 18 Bone Splinters in all directions. The average number can be increased to 31 using weapon Tempering.

By utilizing Shotgunning, all 31 Bone Splinters can hit a single target simultaneously, resulting in massive damage.

Core Mechanics and Damage Amplification Principles

This Build's damage amplification relies on several interlocking mechanisms. First is Shattered Spirit's Aspect, which fires many Bone Splinters when Bone Spirit is cast. The number of Bone Splinters can be further increased through equipment affixes.

Second, Gospel of Devotee Unique Focus allows Bone Splinters to penetrate enemies, transforming Bone Splinter firing into an automatic, continuous output in all directions, especially useful in Horde and Helltide scenarios. Combined with Paingorger's Gauntlets, this can cause significant area-of-effect damage.

For single-target damage, Shotgunning is the key technique determining the damage ceiling. The principle behind this technique is to utilize Unhindered state provided by Aspect of Distilled Anima, allowing the character to move below the boss and overlap with its hitbox.

Since Bone Splinter's source is the character's own hitbox, when the character overlaps with the boss, all fired Bone Splinters will hit that target instantly upon release, achieving a simultaneous hit from all 31 Bone Splinters, effectively quadrupling DPS. This maneuver is crucial for all powerful elite monsters and boss battles.

Key Skills and Resource Cycle Mechanism

The core resource of this Build is Essence. Essence management and regeneration determine the smoothness of the skill cycle and damage multiplier. The key passive skill is Rapid Ossification, which reduces the cooldown of Bone Spirit for every 100 Essence consumed.

By enhancing Aspect of Rapid Ossification onto Amulets, a fixed 4-second cooldown is returned for every 10 Essence consumed. This Build typically maximizes Essence cap to 200, thus refunding 8 seconds of cooldown with each Bone Spirit cast.

Further, cooldown reduction is stacked from equipment like helmets and gloves, ultimately enabling continuous Bone Spirit casting with no cooldown - a shotgunning style of output.

Essence regeneration is achieved through Macabre Essence affix on rings. Each ring regenerates 47 Essence after each Bone Spirit cast.

Combined with Essence regeneration provided by Shroud of False Death chest armor, 200 Essence is fully replenished after each cast, maximizing the benefits of Rapid Ossification.

Furthermore, Essence cap directly affects the damage bonus provided by Aspect of Adaptability, which grants a damage multiplier to Bone Splinter based on the current Essence value.

Since Essence is immediately replenished after each cast, Aspect of Adaptability consistently provides a 120x damage multiplier.

Detailed Equipment Configuration

Helmet uses Crown of Lucion. This item received a significant buff this season, providing a damage multiplier of up to 105%, making it the single item with the largest damage increase in the helmet slot.

Its downside is increased Essence cost, but since Bone Spirit consumes all Essence, this downside is practically negligible.

Chest uses Unique Mythic item, Shroud of False Death. This item provides key skill points, including Rapid Ossification and Bone Spirit damage multiplier passive.

Additionally, it grants all Shadow damage multiplier skill points when combined with Aspect of Decaying Humerus.

Gloves use Unique Paingorger's Gauntlets. These gloves provide a significant boost to base skill levels and area-of-effect damage. Note that its echo effect only triggers once per cast, limiting synergy with other skills, but it remains an essential item.

Pants have two options depending on the scenario:

For Torment 7 Bloodsoaked Sigils, use regular pants with Rankster Bone Splinters affix and Aspect of Hardened Bones to improve survivability and withstand high damage.

For Pits, use Blood Moon Breeches, which provide a 50x damage bonus against cursed targets to maximize output.

Boots should be equipped with Aspect of Distilled Anima, providing Unhindered status to trigger Shotgunning skill.

Amulet must carry Shattered Spirit's Aspect, as this is the largest source of damage multipliers for this skill.

Note that this skill can only be placed in Amulet slot and cannot be placed in other slots. Amulet needs to have the maximum resource affix to help reach 200 Essence cap.

Rings should use Aspect of Adaptability and Aspect of Decaying Humerus respectively, both providing significant damage multipliers.

This requires Macabre Essence affix and repeated upgrades using Diablo 4 Gold until a higher level of essence recovery is achieved. Note that each ring must restore 47 essence points.

Focus has two configurations depending on the scenario: The boss-killing configuration uses the normal Focus, with Bone Splinter having a chance to trigger the affix twice, and is paired with Aspect of the Moonrise for damage multiplier and attack speed.

This configuration is the best choice for boss fights because it doesn't require Bone Splinter's piercing ability.

The Hordes and Pits configuration uses Gospel of the Devotee specialization, giving Bone Splinter piercing ability, suitable for all monster-slaying or progression content.

Operational Techniques and Key Points: Shotgunning is the core technique for maximizing single-target damage in Build.

Use Aspect of Distilled Anima to gain Unhindered status, then move directly below the boss or elite monster, causing your character model to overlap with the monster model. Because Bone Splinters are fired from the character's hitbox, all Bone Splinters will hit the target instantly upon firing when overlapping.

Since this Build allows for continuous, no-cooldown Bone Spirit casting, in actual combat, simply holding down Bone Spirit skill button will automatically fire it in rapid succession. Essence is instantly fully restored after each cast, eliminating the need to manually use basic skills to replenish resources.

Bone Splinter firing is entirely triggered automatically by Bone Spirit casting; no separate Bone Splinter skill operation is required.

In Torment Seven difficulty, monster damage is high. Using regular pants with Aspect of Hardened Bones provides additional damage reduction.

If using Blood Moon Breeches for maximum damage output, you'll need to avoid damage through positioning and quick kills. The skill points provided by Shroud of False Death can also indirectly improve survivability.

Gear Sharing and Scene Switching

This Build shares a significant amount of gear with Bone Spirit speed farming Build. Players can freely switch between two Builds to handle speed farming and boss kill scenarios, respectively.

The specific switching method is as follows: retain core equipment (such as helmet, chest armor, amulet, and rings), and only change Focus, pants, and some affixes.

Furthermore, this Build itself has flexible variant capabilities. By replacing the off-hand with Gospel of the Devotee and adjusting some equipment, it can be transformed from a boss-killing profession Build to an AFK farming Build, suitable for Hordes and Helltide farming.

Precautions

Essence cap must reach 200 points, which is the basis for achieving the 8-second cooldown refund per cast. Therefore, the amulet must have the maximum resource affix.

Also, Shattered Spirit's Aspect can only be placed on the amulet; placing it in other slots will significantly reduce damage output.

Shotgunning technique relies on the Unhindered state to take effect, so you must carry Aspect of Distilled Anima or other equipment that provides this state.

Additionally, the gloves only trigger Echo effect once per cast and will not synergize multiple times with Bone Splinter.

Remember to adjust your pants choice flexibly depending on the scenario. In Torment 7 Bloodsoaked Sigils, prioritize survival pants paired with Aspect of Hardened Bones, while switching to Blood Moon Breeches for maximum damage when entering pits.

This Build, with its extremely high single-target damage, flexible gear switching, and relatively low Diablo 4 gold investment threshold, has become one of the most powerful endgame Builds for Diablo 4 Season 12 Season Necromancer.

In ARC Raiders, Firefly is a hated enemy for many players due to its high burn damage and high mobility, often resulting in players being burned to death without warning.

Through extensive testing, this article details how to efficiently kill Fireflies by exploiting their various weaknesses, especially in open terrain. I used these techniques to complete many trials and obtain ARC Raiders blueprints and other valuable loot.

Weakness

Yellow Gas Tank

The developers suggested in a blog post that the key to quickly killing Fireflies is to shoot the yellow gas tank that appears when they are preparing to attack.

Hitting the yellow gas tank will set it on fire. Firefly will take significant damage, igniting the ground and surrounding area.

Even after the yellow gas tank explodes, Firefly can continue attacking, requiring follow-up shots to completely destroy it. It will eventually explode if you fire enough bullets.

In practice, it takes approximately 7 precise shots to kill a Firefly, making it quite difficult to execute. Furthermore, it consumes a significant amount of ammunition.

Rocket Thruster

Firefly is covered in thick armor, so direct surface shots are ineffective. Its true weak point is Rocket Thruster, making it the best target.

Destroying the back Rocket Thruster will cause Firefly to lose its balance and crash to the ground, most likely exploding.

Even if it doesn’t explode, destroying the front Rocket Thruster will completely immobilize it.

Although it will continue to spew fire after being knocked down, it is essentially no longer a threat. This method is faster and more reliable than targeting the yellow gas tank.

Seeker

Using Seeker is the most efficient way to kill it; one Seeker can easily destroy a Firefly.

However, there’s a crucial point when using Seeker: don’t throw it blindly. Testing revealed that throwing a Seeker behind Firefly is the worst choice, as its back armor is extremely hard, requiring multiple hits to penetrate.

The correct way to use it is to throw a Seeker upwards, allowing the missile to lock onto the top of Firefly from the air. The top of the Firefly is its weakest point, almost entirely covered in armor; a single Seeker can deal fatal damage, instantly killing it.

Furthermore, after killing a Firefly with a Seeker, the dropped materials are usually enough to craft a new Seeker, allowing players to continuously farm it.

Open Terrain

Many players’ most feared scenario is being targeted by a Firefly in open terrain with no cover—there’s no cover to hide behind, forcing you to endure the fire damage and ultimately burn to death.

First, remember the core principle: Never run away! Fireflies fly very fast and can continuously track your position; your running speed simply cannot keep up with their movement. Running away will only allow it to continue spraying fire at you, eventually killing you.

The correct approach is to rush directly at the Firefly. At this point, the Firefly will interrupt its wide-range fire spray, turn around, and re-aime at you. Since it can’t rotate while spraying fire, this gives you time to create an opportunity to attack.

More importantly, Firefly flies very low, almost skimming the ground, so when you rush in, you can simply jump onto it.

Once you successfully jump onto it, Firefly becomes completely incapable of harming you.

At this point, aim at Rocket Thruster and shoot. After Firefly crashes and explodes, quickly jump and roll away to avoid the residual fire damage.

Although this process will cause a slight burn, it’s much better than being killed outright. This is the most survivable method in open terrain.

Kill Strategy

With full health and a Light Shield, it takes Firefly a full 14 seconds to burn a player to death.

14 seconds is a very long time in a shooting game, especially for players accustomed to fast-paced combat. This time is enough for you to complete the entire sequence of dodging, shooting, and counter-attacking. With a Medium Shield or Heavy Shield, the time will be even longer.

Further observation of Firefly’s attack pattern reveals that its fire attacks are not continuous but intermittent: it attacks once, pauses briefly, then unleashes a large burst of flame, before pausing again. This means that when you rush towards it, you’ll only be hit by its first or second attack, avoiding prolonged burning from its flames.

During these 14 seconds, you have ample options: you can jump onto Firefly and attack Rocket Thruster directly, or stand still and aim at the yellow gas tank for a quick explosion, or even attack while dodging.

Firefly appears incredibly intimidating, but its weaknesses are obvious. Combined with the 14-second window for maximum reaction time, anyone who remains calm can easily handle this troublesome ARC enemy.

Now that you’ve mastered the techniques for defeating Firefly, go try it out in the game!

Diablo 4 Season 12:Season of Slaughter, has been out for a while now, and players have likely experienced the new changes. Have you ever wondered if there are any easier ways to complete the game?

This guide will introduce eight useful in-game tips that you might have missed, but they can significantly enhance your gaming experience. Some of these tips aren't even mentioned by the developers and were discovered by players through gameplay.

This article will explain these tips in detail, hoping to better help you conquer Diablo 4 season 12.

Respec

Veteran players know that you have to respec every time the game updates, requiring repeated clicks to assign Respec mode. A simpler method is to use your mouse and keyboard here. Press the control key, and you only need to find the node you want and drag it; it will then place everything there. This will save you a lot of time, eliminating the need to spend 30 minutes clicking a single button.

Mount Speed

Next, I'll talk about Mounts Speed. Open Paragon board, and you'll see that most players have a Cooldown Reduction of 45%, with a maximum of 75%. This Cooldown Reduction affects your Mounts and your Spur Skill. If you remove all Cooldown Reduction gear, and then mount a Mount and use your Spur Skill, you'll find that your Spur duration expires before you can even sustain it.

Therefore, you can equip Cooldown Reduction gear on your helmet, gloves, rings, and amulets, so you don't have to worry about your Mounts' Cooldown Reduction running out. If you want more and better Mounts, you can obtain them from Stable Master using Gold.

Town Portals

Now, let's look at another feature: Town Portals. Suppose you're in a remote area and need to return to town. You'll see a Favorite button above the waypoint. You can click to unfavorite or favorite. If you favorite a waypoint, you can teleport to it, no matter where it is. This feature will be very convenient.

Rune Swap

This tip only applies to DLC. The same weapon cannot have the same Rune socketed on it. If you socket the same Rune on two weapons, the system will not be able to equip that set of gear for you. Similarly, if you socket a Rune on a weapon and also on your pants, the system will not allow you to equip three items simultaneously.

If you cannot switch back to your previous option for some reason, you must ensure you remove Rune. How to easily pick up and place Runes? It's simple: select Rune you need in Socketables and move it to the desired location in Equipped. If you want to change your Rune in the wild, you won't need to travel all the way back to the jeweler and then remove it.

Codex of Power

Next, we'll talk about your gear setup. When creating a new class or build early in the game, when you open Codex of Power, simply type equip, and it will display the attributes of all your equipped items. When you need to check if your attribute level is maxed out or if there are better attributes to equip, you can use this method without having to painstakingly remember every item in your inventory.

Stash Tabs

Stash Tabs are a popular topic of discussion, and everyone wants more. However, if you want to keep your stash organized, there are definitely ways to minimize stash space usage.

You can put items into different stash tabs. This way, when a tab is full, you know you need to check to make sure you really need the items inside. Empty the tab if you don't need it, and add items you'll use later.

Our stash count is limited, so you need stash tabs to help you keep it organized and manage your inventory effectively.

Instant Teleport

Next, we'll talk about Diablo 4 boss battles. You can teleport directly to any boss by simply clicking on any Dungeon. This technique also applies to Nightmare Dungeons. After completing a Dungeon and defeating the boss, you can teleport directly from the current Dungeon to the next one without any Teleporting bar or intervention.

Two more Teleport features you might not know about: First, Pits. If Pits are open, and you and your friends are running dungeons to earn Diablo 4 Gold, you can teleport directly in without waiting for everyone to arrive.

Second, Training Grounds. You can directly click on Training Grounds and teleport there. This is very useful if you don't know where these places are. They contain items like Occultist, Blacksmith, and Armory, making them easy to use.

Party Members Teleport

Now, let's talk about the situation at a party. If you get separated from your friends in a Dungeon and they're ahead, you don't need to keep running around looking for them. You can open the social menu, find your friends, and click Teleport to Party Members button.This will teleport you directly to them, saving a lot of time.

These are 8 tips to enhance your Diablo 4 Season 12 gaming experience. If you have any other interesting gameplay tips, share them with everyone. We hope today's content has been helpful.

Recently, a video of a player shooting a Rocket Thruster, causing it to flip and explode upon impact, has gone viral online. The creator claims this was due to the use of Anvil Mod, which includes Anvil Splitter and Extended Barrel.

Was this a coincidence? What caused this? In the following content, we’ll examine the conditions under which the Rocketeer can be flipped, whether Anvil Weapon Mod is necessary, and whether using this technique is the best way to kill Rocketeer.

In combat mode

Through in-game exploration, the first condition is that Rocketeer must be in combat mode. When Rocketeer is in combat mode, the Rocket Thruster’s speed increases due to accelerated physics. In cruise mode, the Rocketeer will not flip. Therefore, both the Anvil Mod and the Rocket Thruster are essential for flipping the Rocketeer.

Especially when Rocketeer launches its triple attack, its speed increases and its momentum grows. If you shoot Rocket Thruster at this moment, it will flip, and the momentum will be more easily transferred to Rocketeer, resulting in a greater impact upon impact. Therefore, it’s best to be in combat mode yourself and fire Rocketeer’s triple attack at Rocket Thruster for a more powerful explosion.

Shooting Rocket Thruster upwards directly

The second trigger condition is to shoot Rocket Thruster upwards directly, which maximizes the impact on Rocket Thruster’s trajectory. In other words, pushing it into the air from directly below makes it easier to flip. Shooting from the side may significantly reduce the force, preventing a flip.

Rocketeer close enough to the ground

Shooting Rocket Thruster upwards directly at it while in combat mode will cause Thruster to flip, but if it’s relatively far from the ground, it will stabilize after the flip and won’t explode upon impact. Therefore, players must ensure their shots are as vertical as possible while also getting close enough to Rocketeer’s base to ensure it lands on its back and explodes.

However, not all areas will easily make Rocketeer fly lower. For example, on Blue Gate map, you might make a mistake and let it fly higher. In this case, you can lure it to an area with many buildings and high ground, bringing it closer to the ground and creating the conditions for a rollover.

Shooting areas not covered by the outer gray-black armor

The above refers to the rollover caused by shooting the area below Rocket Thruster, because this area is not covered by the outer gray-black armor, directly exposing the inner armor. As seen in the viral video of a Rocketeer rolling over, that player was shooting this part.

However, if you shoot Rocketeer’s outer gray-black armor, it still won’t roll over because this armor absorbs the impact. As long as this armor is intact, shooting it won’t have much effect. Therefore, you need to first break through this armor layer until the white inner curved alloy layer is exposed, and then shoot it. This will have a greater impact on Rocketeer’s flight trajectory, creating conditions for flipping it.

Anvil Weapon Mod

We now know the shooting conditions for flipping Rocketeer, but is it always necessary to use Anvil Splitter with the Extended Barrel? First, we tried using the Aphelion and Osprey weapons with Extended Barrel. These two weapons already have high speed, and adding the Extended Barrel further increases the speed, thus affecting the flight trajectory. Even so, the success rate of flipping the Rocketeer wasn’t very high.

Then, we tried using Anvil Splitter with Extended Barrel, and the results showed that it does indeed make it easier to flip Rocketeer. Using the Anvil Splitter to increase the number of projectiles and Extended Barrel to increase the projectile speed makes this setup even more effective. As long as Rocketeer is in combat mode, you can push it onto anything, even a lamppost or a wall, to inflict massive damage and kill it quickly. This is truly an excellent effect of the Anvil Splitter and Extended Barrel Mod.

Some players have reported that Anvil Splitter is difficult to obtain, having searched for a long time without success. Indeed, Anvil Splitter is a rare item, so getting it won’t be easy. You can try challenging 2x maps or looting the apothecary in Buried City; these methods have a higher probability of yielding it because the mod’s logic is to increase the spawn rate of high-value items.

However, you must understand that it’s a rare item, so finding it isn’t guaranteed. Sometimes you can obtain it through quests, such as Trophy Display project, which rewards three; but sometimes you might get nothing. Therefore, the easiest way is to craft it directly using ARC Raiders blueprint. As long as you have enough materials, you can equip the mod immediately!

Advantages of Anvil Weapon Mod for killing Rocketeers

If you want to quickly kill Rocketeers, you should consider this Anvil Weapon Mod, consisting of Anvil Splitter and Extended Barrel. It’s incredibly easy; simply push Rocketeer onto anything to kill it, significantly reducing kill time.

If you shoot a Rocketeer vertically in combat mode without armor, it will flip over, crash to the ground, and explode. Under these specific conditions, you can not only deal extra damage but also potentially kill it instantly. Therefore, this mod is definitely the best choice when encountering Rocketeers.

Following ARC Raiders Shrouded Sky update, two new enemy types have been added: Firefly and Comet. These new enemies add new challenges for players exploring Topside.

Like other ARC enemies, Firefly and Comet patrol open areas and will attack Raiders immediately upon spotting them.

While they are considered regular or small ARC enemies, they deal significantly more damage than regular enemies. Firefly breathes fire at its target, rapidly melting shields and inflicting fire damage on Raiders, making it even more ferocious than Hornet. Comet explodes upon approaching its target, triggering a massive earthquake explosion that causes widespread blast damage.

If you’re still struggling to find or defeat Firefly and Comet, this guide will help.

How to Find and Defeat Firefly?

Fireflies do not have a fixed spawn point. It spawns randomly on almost every map, is a powerful solo attacker, and sometimes patrols alongside Wasps and Hornets, providing sustained frontline fire support. Firefly has the highest spawn rate in Hurricane map. However, due to the low visibility on this map, Firefly is the most difficult to deal with. Players looking for a challenge can choose this map.

Firefly is an Armored ARC Drone designed for close-quarters combat. It uses a gimbal-mounted flamethrower to scorch any Raiders that get too close. Therefore, engaging it in open areas is ineffective; maps with many buildings to utilize are recommended.

Buried City is probably your best choice. On this map, you’ll find many buildings near the outdoors that you can use. Even if Firefly spots you, you can hide inside a building and shoot it down.

To defeat Firefly, you must use Heavy Ammo weapons, such as Anvil or Ferro. These two ARC Raider Items have high ARC armor penetration, easily penetrating Firefly’s armor and attacking its weak points.

Flamethrower fuel tank is its weak point; you need to aim for Firefly’s weak point to make it lose balance and fall. Shooting down any two of its tanks will cause Firefly ARC to crash and be destroyed.

Some Raiders will intentionally ignite other ARC machines near them, but this requires precise timing and is entirely a gamble. After the explosion, remember to wait for the flames to extinguish before picking up items inside ARC.

Alternatively, you can use Grenades to defeat Firefly, use a Showstopper to make it crash to the ground, and then shoot to destroy it. There’s also a better method, but it’s too costly and not recommended: using a Wolfpack to instantly destroy Firefly.

Possible Loot from Firefly ARC

Below are all the items you can pick up from Firefly in ARC Raiders.

• Firefly Burner
• ARC Powercell
• Chemicals
• ARC Alloy
• Simple Gun Parts
• Synthesized Fuel
• ARC Synthetic Resin

How to Find and Defeat Comet?

Similar to Firefly ARC, Comets don’t have fixed spawn points; they spawn randomly and patrol the ground. However, unlike Firefly, Comets patrol alone.

Comets are large, rounded, and very easy to spot. They can be found in almost every map’s outdoor areas. Marano Park area on Buried City and Control Tower area on Dam Battlegrounds are particularly recommended. Additionally, Comet spawn rate is high in Hurricane map, making them easier to find.

To defeat a Comet, you’ll need to use an Anvil or IL Toro Shotgun. Once a Comet spots Raiders, it will roll towards them at high speed. Its core will rapidly charge and then explode.

As Comet begins charging, it will eventually expand its Armor Shell, exposing its internal structure and weak points. Shooting the center point before Comet explodes will destroy it. Generally, it may take one or two bullets to destroy it.

Remember, if you shoot the core to detonate Comet, you will not take any damage. However, if Comet is not destroyed before it explodes, it will trigger a shockwave explosion, causing considerable damage.

If you have a light shield equipped and both your shield value and energy are full, Shockwave will reduce your shield energy to about a quarter and your health to a similar level. Comet only has one chance to deal damage, so it will reposition itself before self-destructing to maximize damage to a group of Raiders.

After destroying Comet, you will see two lootable pieces, one of which is a core piece containing Igniter. However, if Comet explodes on its own, only one lootable piece will drop. Currently, it seems that Igniter will always drop if Comet is destroyed correctly.

Possible Loot from Comet ARC

Below are all the items you can obtain from Comet in ARC Raiders.

• ARC Alloy
• Crude Explosives
• Advanced ARC Powercell
• ARC Coolant
• ARC Thermo Lining
• Comet Igniter (only when you destroy Comet before exploding)
• Explosive Compound (only when you destroy Comet before exploding)

This concludes the guide. We hope it helps you better complete trials in ARC Raiders Shrouded Sky and obtain the items you desire.

Diablo 4 Season 12 - Season of Slaughter - began on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM PDT and is expected to end on April 28, after which it will directly proceed to the release of Lord of Hatred expansion and Season 13.

In this new season, player characters can transform into Butcher for the first time, using their abilities to slaughter endless monsters and earn Season Currency. This Season Currency can be traded to further enhance the player's base attributes.

This guide will provide you with Butcher transformation method, farming locations, and some professional tips in Diablo 4 Season 12. This guide will be your pass to Season 12, guiding you to transform into Butcher, farm Fresh Meat like crazy, and completely change many players' perception of Butcher.

About Butcher

At the start of Diablo 4 Season 12, players need to unlock Slaughter Power. Completing the seasonal quest “A Taste of Power”will unlock Butcher mode. This process takes approximately 20 minutes. Through this quest, players will learn how to use Butcher's various skills. Upon completion, the new season will officially begin. This is a brand new mode for this season, and the real fun begins here.

Next, we'll introduce three effective ways to become Butcher in Diablo 4 Season 12. You can choose the method that suits your preferences. After transforming into Butcher, your power will be dramatically increased, but be careful; one mistake can wipe you out.

Three Ways to Become a Butcher

1. Slaughterhouses

This is a brand new dungeon specifically designed for this purpose and a key feature of this season's update. Enter using keys obtained from regular Helltides or events, and you will instantly transform into Butcher until your death. This method is perfect for players who simply want to slaughter monsters.

2. Helltide Shrines

This is the most popular choice. You collect Meaty Offerings in Helltides and offer them to Shrines of Slaughter in the area to trigger Ceremony of Slaughter. Afterward, you need to defeat the horde of enemies and seize Butcher's Idol to transform.

3. Fields of Hatred Ceremony

This method is similar to Helltide Shrines, but the Fields of Hatred Ceremony is located in a PvP area. During Ceremony of Slaughter, players need to defeat other players, seize the idol, and ultimately transform into the Butcher. This method is the optimal choice for PvP enthusiasts.

Please choose your favorite transformation method, farm high-density monster areas, and turn your Meaty Offerings to real power.

Butcher Gameplay Tips

When you transform into Butcher, all your skill keys will be replaced by Butcher skills. You won't have full control over the skills, but you'll experience their raw and exhilarating nature. Kill streaks significantly increase your skill damage and Meaty Offerings drop rate. Remember to use Gravity Charge to kill groups of enemies. When fighting bosses, master the hook and cleave timing; this will make leveling up much easier.

Fresh Meat Farming Done Right

Fresh Meat is the seasonal currency, obtainable only under specific conditions when transformed into Butcher. The more enemies you kill and the longer your kill streak, the more Fresh Meat you'll get.

The best place to farm Fresh Meat is Slaughterhouses, where you can obtain a large and stable amount. You can also farm it by challenging Max-tier Helltides with the shrine method.

Butcher transformation lasts a long time, so players can plan their routes strategically to participate in multiple events consecutively. Once you become a Killer, you can complete as many high-monster-density activities as possible.

Spending Your Fresh Meat Wisely

After accumulating a certain amount of Fresh Meat, you can obtain Bloodied items from merchants to continuously improve your base stats. Prioritize items that boost your base stats even when you're not in Killer form. You won't stay in Killer form forever; these Diablo 4 Items are the reward for your hard work grinding, allowing your character to leap to a higher level and enjoy a better gaming experience.

Bloodied Items are a new type of equipment that adds an affix that corresponds to and enhances your current Killer tier. This item quality tag is not exclusive, meaning you can find Bloodied gear and Ancestral Bloodied gear.

There are three types of Bloodied Affixes: the first is Rampage, which increases attack power based on the current Killstreak Tier; the second is Feast, which provides a combat bonus based on the total number of Killstreaks; and the third is Killstreak Tier, whose rewards increase with the killstreak tier.

This concludes the guide, summarizing what you might need in Diablo 4 Season 12. It might seem a little difficult at first, but once you master the methods and techniques, you'll quickly embark on a new and enjoyable gaming experience. Jump in and start slaughter! Season of Slaughter won't wait forever, so enjoy this carnage!

Since its release, CoD Black Ops 7 has garnered immense attention from thrill-seeking shooter players. While many game modes from previous Call of Duty titles have been included, BO7 also features some entirely new modes and settings.

Among these, the newly added Endgame mode is currently one of the most popular. To attract more players, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has eliminated the tedious campaign-gating. No missions need to be completed; all players can directly experience this mode starting November 21st.

If you're unfamiliar with this new mode, I'll introduce it to you. Hopefully, this will help you have a better gaming experience in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Endgame Mode

CoD Black Ops 7 Endgame mode incorporates elements popular with Warzone and Zombies modes, but it's a purely PvE cooperative player mode.

At the start of the challenge, players are dropped directly into the air above Avalon. You need to choose a suitable landing spot and land safely. After that, you will need to team up with other players to complete objectives, improve your strength, and engage in fierce battles with enemies.

It's worth noting that Avalon has four areas of varying difficulty. You'll need to ensure sufficient survival space and safe evacuation within these areas to maintain your current gear and combat level. This is essential for continuously challenge higher difficulty levels.

Undoubtedly, this new cooperative mode adds new content and vitality to the traditional CoD multiplayer game mode.

Previously, to access CoD Black Ops 7 Endgame mode, players needed to complete 11 campaign missions or meet players with challenge permissions. Fortunately, starting November 21st, players can freely team up to explore.

Features

Based on player feedback across various platforms, Endgame mode has received mixed reviews, which is closely related to players' individual adventure preferences.

Many players find the initial stages of this mode relatively monotonous and repetitive, which is why some players are not interested in it. They prefer to immerse themselves in Zombies mode for surprises or Multiplayer mode for battles.

However, as players' combat levels increase, they will unlock more challenging content, culminating in a highly challenging final battle in CoD Black Ops 7.

Furthermore, the risk mechanics of Endgame mode require players to be extremely cautious during their adventures. If the player's character dies or fails to evacuate in time, their combat level will reset to zero, requiring a restart.

This all-or-nothing mechanism keeps players who enjoy this type of adventure investing time and effort into this mode.

Compensation

For players who want to directly try CoD BO7 Endgame mode, being able to play immediately is certainly good news. However, it's less friendly to players who have already unlocked the content.

Fortunately, the developers have some remedial measures to ensure that players who have unlocked Endgame mode do not feel their rights have been harmed by the adjustments to the game mechanics.

For players who unlock Endgame, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will offer additional rewards to compensate for their time and effort:

• 3 x 1-hour double level XP tokens
• 3 x 1-hour double weapon XP tokens
• 3 x 1-hour double battle pass XP tokens
• 3 x Perkaholic Gobblegums

These rewards are substantial and can be used before playing multiplayer games or CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies challenge, providing an extra boost in matches and making it easier to level up, upgrade weapons, and battle pass in-game.

In addition to the above rewards, players will also receive unique rewards unlocked in Co-Op Campaign, Global XP, an exclusive Camo track, and more:

• Irides One M15 MOD 0 Blueprint
• Phantom Shadow SK Blueprint
• Razorfire Vertex Ryden 45K Blueprint
• Grounded Mason Operator Skin
• 55,000 XP and more rewards

While unlocking Endgame mode after only one week of release might not seem like part of the official plan. Regardless, starting November 21st, all CoD Black Ops 7 players will be able to directly experience this brand-new Endgame mode and gradually progress through the most challenging adventure.

Step into the world of CoD Black Ops 7 now and experience this richly designed mode.

ARC Raiders, one of the most popular shooting games recently, has garnered immense popularity since its release thanks to its thrilling combat and complex, engaging mechanics.

The game is set in post-apocalyptic Italy, where powerful ARC robots have taken over Earth's surface, forcing humanity to survive in underground cities. To survive, players take on the role of raiders, venturing to the surface to collect resources to maintain the underground cities.

Furthermore, the game incorporates PvPvE gameplay, where players face not only ARC robots but also other humans. This setting allows players to utilize different weapons and equipment in different scenarios.

Choosing the right weapon is especially crucial for new players, as it will determine whether they can survive and achieve victory. Below, we will introduce some weapons suitable for beginners, along with their detailed information, allowing you to choose to accord to your needs.

1. Ferro

• Rarity: Common
• Type: Battle Rifle
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 1
• Firing Mode: Single
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP and PvE

Ferro is one of the best weapons for beginners. Players can obtain it during their adventures or craft it using ARC Raiders material. It boasts advantages such as accurate shooting, long-range damage output, and powerful ARC Armor penetration.

Therefore, even with its relatively slow rate of fire and reload speed, it is considered one of the most recommended weapons.

Furthermore, this versatility allows Ferro to exert strong power in both PvP and PvE scenarios, effectively countering enemies.

2. Rattler

• Rarity: Common
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Medium Ammo
• Magazine Size: 10
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Moderate
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

Rattler is another excellent weapon recommended for beginners, and it pairs perfectly with Ferro. It combines damage, range, and handling, making it a well-rounded ARC Raiders Weapon. These characteristics make it perform well against ARC opponents, but it truly shines in PvP against other players.

Note that Rattler has a low magazine capacity. You'll need to monitor its remaining ammo during combat to ensure you have enough firepower to defeat enemies. You can also upgrade Rattler to increase its magazine capacity.

3. Anvil

• Rarity: Uncommon
• Type: Hand Cannon
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 6
• Firing Mode: Single-Action
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP and PvE

In our opinion, Anvil is a high-value ARC Raiders weapon. It can unleash tremendous power against ARC and other players, providing powerful suppressive fire. Furthermore, due to its relatively low rarity, novice players can easily craft it to replace their older weapons.

Additionally, in the late game, players can equip Legendary rarity accessory, Anvil Splitter. This ARC Raiders item allows Anvil to fire three bullets per shot, significantly increasing its damage output.

4. Bettina

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 20
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvE

For new players who have already participated in some combat, choosing Bettina is a safe bet. Its powerful ARC Armor penetration allows it to easily inflict fatal damage on ARC robots, thus eliminating them.

Bettina also has some drawbacks; combat causes its durability to drop at an alarming rate, requiring players to regularly repair it to maintain its output and reload speed.

5. Tempest

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Medium Ammo
• Magazine Size: 25
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Moderate
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

While Tempest is a powerful weapon, its ARC Armor penetration limits its damage output in PvE, making it more suitable for PvP scenarios.

Furthermore, its low recoil makes it easy to control, even for novice players.

6. Vulcano

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Shotgun
• Ammo Type: Shotgun Ammo
• Magazine Size: 6
• Firing Mode: Semi-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Weak
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

Vulcano is designed for close-quarters combat, making it ideal for clearing buildings and eliminating nearby enemies. However, its ARC Armor Penetration is weak, making it unsuitable for dealing with large ARC robots. It is recommended in PvP situations.

7. Hullcracker

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Special
• Ammo Type: Launcher Ammo
• Magazine Size: 5
• Firing Mode: Pump-Action
• ARC Armor Penetration: Very Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvE

Hullcracker can deal massive damage to ARCs, especially against powerful enemies like Leapers and Bastions, demonstrating superior firepower compared to other ARC Raiders Weapons and making it easier to eliminate these robots.

It's worth noting that this special ARC Raiders weapon, which uses Launcher Ammo, is ineffective against human players. Therefore, novice players are advised to equip it with other weapons to counter other players encountered during exploration.

In ARC Raiders, having a powerful weapon is half the battle won. Novice players can try searching for these ARC Raiders items during looting to enhance their strength and provide stronger firepower.

With your strategy and powerful firepower, you can increase your chances of survival and achieve final victory in both PvP and PvE scenarios.

As Genshin Impact map continues to expand, more and more characters are becoming known to players. They each possess a regional elemental combat system, especially many characters introduced later in the game, which differ significantly from the early game's design.

In Genshin Impact 6.0 Luna I, characters like Flins, who can perform Lunar Charge reaction, appeared, demonstrating the changes in Genshin Impact's elemental combat system.

To learn about the core mechanics of Nod-Krai system and the build strategy for the upcoming new character Nefer, read on.

Build Strategies Changes

In the current version, the traditional Goblet of Eonothem team build that relies on DMG% buffs is becoming less popular among players. The character skills of recently released characters show that Ineffa requires ATK%, as does Flins, and Lauma relies on Elemental Mastery. None of them require DMG%.

In the past, farming Goblet of Eonothem with satisfactory DMG% stats was a time-consuming and labor-intensive endeavor.

Replenishing Original Resin also takes time. Of course, you can also replenish Original Resin by consuming Primogems to farm Goblet of Eonothem. When it's running low, investing a certain amount in Genshin Impact's top-up is a good option.

Goblet of Eonothem, with Elemental Mastery as the primary attribute, has a drop rate of only 2.5%, the lowest of all primary attributes.

Goblet of Eonothem with ATK% has the highest drop rate, making it easier to complete a build for characters like Flins and Ineffa who rely on ATK% bonuses. When Goblet of Eonothem is part of a four-piece set, choosing the fifth artifact is more flexible.

In terms of reaction mechanics, Lunar Charge and Lunar Bloom are affected by either ATK, Elemental Mastery, or both. DMG% does not increase the damage of these two reactions.

More importantly, the newly released Nod-Krai characters rely primarily on Lunar Charge and Lunar Bloom Elemental Reactions for their damage output, directly reducing the importance of DMG% Goblet of Eonothem.

Characters like Furina, Yelan, and Mavuika, which provide DMG% bonuses, have been gradually marginalized, as have support characters equipped with Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City Artifact set.

However, Furina and Yelan won't be completely sidelined. They can be paired with Flins and Lauma to provide Hydro attachment to the team. Furina's skills can maintain Flins' health at 50%, allowing Flins to unleash the power of Staff of Homa.

The currently released Nod-Krai characters are focusing on stats that best suit their damage bonuses, and DMG% is no longer a universal buff for all characters.

Nod-Krai Core

Moonsign level is crucial for Nod-Krai team building. One Nod-Krai character can raise their Moonsign level to Nascent Gleam, while two can raise it to Ascendant Gleam.

Characters receive different benefits at different Moonsign levels. For example, Nefer can convert Dendro Cores into Seeds of Deceit in Ascendant Gleam to increase damage.

Lauma, under the influence of Ascendant Gleam, increases Lunar Bloom reactions by 10% Crit Rate and 20% Crit Damage. Elemental Burst also reduces enemy Dendro resistance and increases Lunar Bloom damage.

Hydro is crucial for Lunar Charge and Lunar Bloom. To ensure that more players experience this system's reactions, we're giving away Aino for free. While Aino's damage is low, it provides a background Hydro attachment, meeting the needs for Lunar Reaction triggers, making it a cost-effective support for current Nod-Krai teams.

If you missed out on the free Aino, don't despair. You have a chance of obtaining her in the character draw pool later in the game. You can invest a certain amount of Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals to prepare for Aino's draw.

Aino's performance after C6 is even comparable to some mainstream Hydro characters. Furthermore, Aino's low training cost makes her a suitable addition to a Nefer team when paired with Forest Regalia and Instructor's Set.

Nefer Build Speculations

Based on the official Nefer skills, her Lunar Bloom damage is most significantly boosted by Elemental Mastery.

If you want to build a team that stays current with the setting, we recommend using Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals to draw Nefer.

Here are some tips for Nefer upgrades:

Main Attributes

Prioritize Goblet of Eonothem with Elemental Mastery main attribute to maximize Lunar Bloom damage.

Secondary Attributes

Critical damage and critical rate are recommended.

Team Composition

It is recommended to place Lauma on your team to meet the requirement of having two Moonsign characters to activate Ascendant Gleam. Aino can also be added. Lauma provides a Crit Damage bonus and reduces enemy resistance, while Aino provides Hydro to trigger Lunar Bloom.

Support Set Recommendations

For casual players who prefer to handle most battles without maximizing damage, Aino's weapon can be Forest Regalia. For the artifact set, choose Instructor Set to boost your team's overall Elemental Mastery.

These features will help Nefer secure a spot in Patch 6. Her skills focus on triggering Lunar Bloom upon attack, dealing significant direct damage and reaction damage, making her the team's core DPS.

In short, the emergence of the new Nod-Krai system is changing the traditional build strategy in Genshin Impact. Through the unique Lunar Reaction and Moonsign leveling mechanics, the importance of ATK and Elemental Mastery is significantly increased.

The core gameplay of new characters like Nefer is to build up Elemental Mastery and bond with teammates like Lauma and Aino to trigger powerful Lunar Bloom reactions.

With the launch of more related characters in the future, the idea of ​​forming a team around specific mechanisms and attributes will become the core gameplay of the new version, which is worth every player's understanding and preparation in advance.

EA Sports FC 26 launched globally on September 26th, and players are eager to experience the game. During their time playing, many players have asked how to defend better in FC FUT 26. This article will provide a detailed defensive strategy covering key areas such as offside traps, player switching, tackles, and tactical fouls.

Effective Offside Trap

One important thing to know about offside traps is that they can only be used when the opponent is not facing the goal.

To give an example of an effective offside trap, when your player is in a bad situation with the ball, you can set an offside trap when he passes the ball back to another player. Your central defender needs to step forward to defend, thus making your opponent offside and helping you avoid losing the ball.

Everyone probably has defensive issues, so a side kickoff might be a good option for you.This doesn't mean you won't lose the ball, but it does make the game a little easier.

If your opponent is running forward from the start of the kickoff, you can set up an offside trap. Then you can see that the opposing striker is offside at a certain moment, and at that moment, he has nowhere to go, so keep pressing him, and then your players will be able to use these offside traps to easily win the ball back.

If your opponent has the ball with your player, pay attention to the position of the opposing running back and prevent him from passing the ball directly to his own running back. At this time, set an offside trap so that he has no passing options. As long as he passes to his own running back at a bad time, your left guard can intercept the ball.

For another example, on a kickoff, using the offside trap can cause the opposing forward to be offside. This offside trap puts my players in their proper positions, eliminating any danger on the kickoff.

The offside trap is a crucial element in defense, and you need to practice it to master it. If you want to play better, you can spend FC 26 coins to get some star players who can better execute the offside trap and help you win the game.

Smooth Player Transitions

The difference between pros and amateurs in FIFA 26 defense lies in the ability to smoothly and correctly execute player transitions. If you still only use L1 or use it to change positions most of the time, you should try switching with the right analog stick.

Although 100% right-stick switching may be difficult, practice is essential. When the opponent has the ball for extended periods, try to position each player in the correct passing lane to prevent them from attacking.

Using the right stick to switch players during this process will help you quickly position each player in the correct position, ultimately leading to victory.

Thus, effectively utilizing the right stick control inputs to ensure smooth player switching is crucial. This will improve your defensive control and help you become a high-level player.

Timing Your Tackle

FC FIFA 26 is very different from previous years when it comes to tackling. In previous games, you could make a ton of tackles, and even if you missed, it didn't matter, your player wouldn't be gone, and you still had time to recover. This year, however, the game has changed that.

Let me give you a few examples of great tackles. When the opponent is vying for the ball with Ronaldinho, watch for the right moment and press the circle button on your controller input to win the ball with Moisés Caicedo.

When the opponent has the ball with Gravenberch, you can tackle with Udogie, and the ball will be back at your feet.

One tricky situation, however, is when the opponent has the ball with R9. This is particularly difficult to defend, requiring patience, defensive play with Janssen, and optimal timing to recover the ball.

Another best correct example is when you failed to make a tackle with Caicedo and missed the opportunity again, and made a mistake when trying to make a tackle with Janssen. Now you still have one chance to steal the ball, otherwise the opponent will score. Stay calm and use Ndicka to observe the good tackle opportunity, so that you can steal the ball.

Of course, there are also bad examples. When the opponent is R9, you use Llorente to make a tackle, but the timing is wrong, causing Llorente to be gone; when the opponent uses Weir to dribble, you use Janssen to make a tackle and it will also fail, and you will be completely tackled. Through these failures and successes, you'll understand the importance of timing when making a tackle.

Use Tactical Fouls Wisely

Although you may feel uncomfortable with it, there are times when you should use tactical fouls to trigger an emergency stop. This is crucial; it can help you avoid conceding the ball on a counterattack or when you're in a one-on-one duel with the opponent.

To do this, press R1 and X buttons simultaneously to bring down your opponent in a one-on-one situation. This will earn you a red card and trigger a tactical foul. You can also use this defensive method when you want to avoid conceding the ball on a counterattack.

Difference Between Tactical Defending And Advanced Defending

Some players may be confused about the difference between tactical defending and advanced defending. Although they have similar names, they differ in FIFA FUT 26.

Advanced defending allows you to freely choose the type of tackle you want. The circle button allows you to stand up and X button allows you to block with your shoulder. Tactical defending, on the other hand, is more passive.

For example, if you with Ola Aina, your opponent reaches the back line and you're standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them, you're playing Advanced Defending, as you can press X button to win the ball.

Tactical defending allows you to control the timing of your tackle and maintain your position. When you press the circle button, the game will decide whether to make a standing tackle or a physical tackle based on the player's position. You don't have a choice, the game automatically determines your actions. However, there's no clear superiority between tactical defending and advanced defending.

Practice these techniques well, and one day, you'll shine like other pros in EA FC 26 with these excellent operations.
