Honkai: Star Rail Showcase the 2 New Endgame Modes in the Upcoming Version 2.3

The upcoming version of Honkai: Star Rail is about to say goodbye to the adventures in the land of the dreams. But like the good developers they are, their roadmap seems to include two new game modes, that aim to make playing the game – perpetually fun.

The new game modes about to be launched are ones that were previously confirmed. A live stream earlier today even confirmed and revealed more details about the new modes, namely – The Divergent Universe and Apocalyptic Shadow. Our favorite host Owlbert, even revealed more information about what can be expected from the update once it goes live.

So when is it getting released?

Well, there is a catch. The first update will only launch one of the game modes – The Divergent Universe. This variation has a simulated universe where you can play in a new area of Penacony. You can choose any of the characters you own, regardless of their level and equipment. As a final thank you, they have also included free but temporary level increases and relevant relics and light cones to substitute for the ones with characters that aren’t that well-built.

The new game mechanics

This version is said to have its unique gameplay mechanics, with the new ones called “The Equation”, where collecting a certain number of Blessings from multiple paths helps you gain buffs. Even if you end up choosing the wrong blessing or equation, there is an option to change them later during your re-run.

Among new curios and domains, there also seems to be an option for players to restart encounters with new character lineups if needed. There also seems to be a new Planar Ornament extraction feature, that will allow players to save successful runs to an archive to save progress, from where they can continue fighting the final boss to claim the rewards quickly.

Every phase of the Apocalyptic Shadow, very similar to Pure Fiction from earlier has two enemies with four difficulty levels. We believe this second mode is going to be all about the boss fights, and for a reason, the bosses will have new traits with new buffs available for your team to choose from. 

One more gift

The last gift, we promise is these endgame challenge modes along with the Apocalyptic Shadow and all other modes ( Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos) will now start granting 800 Stellar Jades instead of 720, which means all of the noobs will be now one step closer to getting the limited five-star characters – Jade & firefly, which will drop in the version 2.3

What a beautiful note to part ways! We believe these updates will ensure the longevity of the game over a period making sure the game ages like fine wine. To endless more hours of fun and until then stay tuned!

How to Get Komala in Pokemon Go?

0

Komala, a Normal-type Pokémon from Generation 7, has made its way into Pokémon GO.

This guide will walk you through the steps to capture this elusive Pokémon, its strengths and weaknesses, and tips to maximize your chances of adding Komala to your Pokédex.

When and Where to Find Komala

Komala first appeared in Pokémon GO during the “Catching Some Z’s” event, which took place from July 15th to July 16th, 2023.

If you missed this event, don’t worry. Komala will also be available during the upcoming “Slumbering Sands” event in June 2024.

These events are the best opportunities to catch Komala due to increased spawn rates and special research tasks.

Outside of these events, Komala can still be found in the wild, albeit with low spawn chances.

To increase your odds, consider using Incense or a Lure Module to attract more Pokémon to your location.

Additionally, Komala is more likely to appear on cloudy days, so keep an eye on the in-game weather conditions.

Komala is a rare and elusive Pokemon in Pokemon Go. This guide will show you how to increase your chances of catching one, including the best times to play, the best locations to find them, and the best techniques to use.

How to Get Komala in Pokemon Go?

When you encounter a Komala, using a Razz Berry can significantly increase your chances of a successful capture.

This item makes the Pokémon easier to catch, reducing the likelihood of it escaping. Make sure to have a good supply of Ultra Balls as well, to further improve your chances.

One of the most effective ways to catch a shiny Komala is by participating in the Slumbering Sands Timed Research during the event.

Completing these research tasks will not only give you more encounters with Komala but also increase your chances of finding a shiny variant.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Komala is a pure Normal-type Pokémon, which means it has specific strengths and weaknesses. It is resistant to Ghost-type moves, making it a good choice against Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, it is weak against Fighting-type moves, so be cautious when facing Fighting-type opponents.

While Komala cannot evolve in Pokémon GO, it comes with a unique set of moves that can be useful in battles. Make sure to familiarize yourself with its moveset to make the most out of this Pokémon in your team.

How to Use Enhanced Drop Rate in Wuthering Waves?

“Wuthering Waves” is a popular action RPG that has captivated players with its intricate gameplay mechanics and engaging progression systems. One of the key features in the game is the Enhanced Drop Rate system, which significantly impacts how players farm for valuable in-game items known as Echoes.

This guide will delve into the specifics of the Enhanced Drop Rate, how it works, and strategies to maximize its benefits in Wuthering Waves.

What is the Enhanced Drop Rate?

The Enhanced Drop Rate is a weekly bonus system designed to help players farm for specific high-value Echoes, particularly the Overlord/Calamity Class echoes, which are 4-cost items. This system increases the base drop rate of these Echoes 15 times per week, making it easier for players to obtain the items they need.

How Does the Enhanced Drop Rate Work?

The Enhanced Drop Rate resets every week on Monday at 4:00 AM server time. This means that players have a fresh set of 15 chances to benefit from the increased drop rate each week.

However, there have been reports of a bug where the Enhanced Drop Rate does not reset for some players, particularly those whose Data Bank level is not maxed out (level 20).

Drop Rate Mechanics

The Enhanced Drop Rate significantly boosts the chances of obtaining high-level Echoes. Specifically, it increases the drop rate to around 20%, compared to the base rate of approximately 6%.

However, it is important to note that the Enhanced Drop Rate does not affect the rarity of the dropped Echo, which is determined by the player’s Data Bank level.

Enhanced Drop Rate Wuthering Waves

How to Use Enhanced Drop Rate in Wuthering Waves?

To make the most effective use of the Enhanced Drop Rate, players should aim to use all 15 chances at the start of every week. This strategy ensures that they can farm the Overlord/Calamity Boss Echoes their characters need the most.

Once all 15 chances are utilized, the drop rate reverts to the normal amount.

The Enhanced Drop Rate becomes particularly relevant at higher Data Bank levels. Before reaching level 15, there is little point in using the Enhanced Drop Rate strategically, as any 4-Star Echoes obtained will eventually be replaced by 5-Star Echoes.

Therefore, players should focus on leveling up their Data Bank by finding as many Echoes as possible and completing Milestone and Guidebook missions, which grant significant amounts of XP.

Fortnite x Fall Guys Crossover Returns: New Mode, Release Date & Leaks

According to leaks, Fall Guys X Fortnite is happening once again. The crossover between Fall Guys and Fortnite is speculated to bring a ton of new tasks and cosmetics for players to finish.

Originally slated to launch at some point in Chapter 5 Season 2, the crossover will ultimately appear in Season 3: Wreckedon June 12, 2024. It would be safe to assume that the update will be released within a week of the start of the new season so 17th June would be an educated guess.

Dataminers suggest that this will bring a completely new mode to Fortnite, even though not much information about it is currently available.

Additionally, according to data miners, minigames with a Fall Guys theme will be accessible on the Island throughout the event where the players will be transformed into Beans in these minigames and play accordingly, sticking to the style of Fall Guys.

Fall Guys may have fallen out of favor amidst the tons of indie games that have been coming out in recent times and this collaboration might just trigger a few players to delve back into the game.

Xbox Rumored to Release Handheld Console

0

According to the latest reports, the long-running rumors about a portable Xbox system might be leading to something. In the latest video from Spanish insider eXtas1s uploaded to YouTube, Xbox is expected to reveal a teaser for the next Xbox Portable system during the Xbox Games Showcase.

According to Xbox head Phil Spencer’s earlier comments, it’s probable that the Windows experience on the Xbox Portable would be more suited for a portable device stating “Things that usually frustrate me are more Windows-based than device-based. Which is an area I feel some ownership of.”

A Windows-based handheld console tailored by Microsft would open the doors to a world of possibilities. Windows being the most popular OS for gamers is often criticised for being not as optimised as PS. However, now that Microsft is going all in, we might see a console that supports a wider range of games that runs better than the rest of the handheld consoles out there.

While we suggest taking these rumors with a pinch of salt, we can always hope for the best. With the June Showcase right around the corner, mark your calendars and get hopeful for some good news.

It is important to note that Impermanence Heron harnesses its energy from the Havoc element, which means using Resonators that use the Havoc Element would not be effective against it. This is because Tacet Discords are resistant to attacks from Resonators that use the same element as them. This means that using Rover, Taoqi, and Danjin would not be effective in battle.

Here are some recommended teams that you can use to fight against Impermanence Heron:

  • Baizhi, Mortefi, Encore
  • Calcharo, Mortefi, Verina
  • Lingyang, Baizhi, Sanhua

You can experiment with the team you take to the battle, but remember not to use any Havoc Resonators. Considering that Impermanence Heron can take to air to do a ranged or swoop attack, you need to have at least one pistol user in your team to attack the bird when it’s in the air.
