The cooperative game Tribes of Midgard offers you 8 classes, of which you need to unlock 6. MeinMMO reveals which class allows you to navigate the game solo the best and what makes it so powerful.
Why should I play solo? Tribes of Midgard is primarily designed for a cooperative experience for up to 10 players. However, you can play any available mode alone. This makes the game significantly harder.
You must take care of the entire defense, resources, and potentially the objective (Fenrir in Saga mode) on your own. This means increased time pressure since you have to constantly return to the base at night to prevent your Yggdrasil sapling from being destroyed.
If you play Tribes of Midgard alone, you will face a greater challenge, which is quite desirable for many players. On MeinMMO, you can find some tips to master Tribes of Midgard solo.
The features of Tribes of Midgard in the trailer.
How did we choose? In our selection, we incorporated personal experience as well as looked at which classes are rated the highest in the community. An important aspect was the subreddit dedicated to Tribes of Midgard (via reddit.com).
There are ongoing discussions about the best class, but one class often appears more frequently than the others and is consistently praised: the warrior, who is often overlooked in other tier lists.
The Warrior – The best class for solo players
What can the Warrior do? As a warrior, you specialize in melee combat and have a balanced playstyle, with a slight focus on offense. You prefer to fight with a shield and an axe or a sword, utilizing fire or frost damage.
The strength of the warrior lies in its invulnerability. With the blessing “Reckless Roll,” you are invulnerable for 2 seconds after a roll, and the cooldown for the roll is also 2 seconds. So, you are almost permanently immortal.
This invulnerability even works against heat and cold, so you do not need resistances if you play it right. Additionally, you have an extremely high mana regeneration, allowing you to use your weapon abilities more frequently.
How do I unlock it? The warrior is one of the two classes you receive for free at the beginning along with the ranger. You do not need to unlock it first.
How do I play the warrior best? To fully exploit the warrior’s strength, you should choose the following blessings:
Týr’s Double Hit
Inner Power
Reckless Roll
Mana Wave I
Mana Wave II
Reborn
You can freely distribute the remaining points. If you enjoy using multiple weapons, Fiery Exchange is a good idea. With Final Act and sword or axe mastery, you deal more damage. Free Fall helps with exploration, and Durable Armor saves souls for repairs.
The blessings of the warrior. Inner Power is one of the most important points.
For the runes, you should focus on:
Soul Power – increases damage by 5 for every 100 souls; unlocked by holding 10,000 souls at once
Seiðr-Weaver (up to 3x) – gives a 30% chance to create magical projectiles on combo attacks
Nothings to Hide – increases damage by 30 for every empty armor slot – if you want to go wild as a naked warrior, since you are invulnerable most of the time anyway
Rolling Thunder – gives rolls a 50% chance to trigger a lightning strike; unlocked at level 44 in the Season Pass (Season 1)
What problems does the warrior have? Due to your focus on melee combat, you may have trouble against enemies that attack from a distance. Additionally, playing with this build requires some practice, making it only partially suitable for beginners. However, since you own the warrior right away, you can start practicing immediately – just be prepared for some defeats.
If the playstyle of the warrior does not appeal to you or if you want to try other classes, we have listed three alternatives for you.
Guardian
considered the second “strongest class” alongside the warrior
has reduced crafting costs and does not lose durability on equipment
can carry more potions and runes
travels faster across the map through Hermóðr’s Waystone
can create building parts for free at any time and thus climb cliffs
unlocked by reaching day 15 in Saga mode
Berserker
more aggressive than the warrior
unleashes explosions with its rage that can kill enemies over a wider area
deals increased damage with critical hits
can frighten enemies and reduce control effects on itself
unlocked by killing 20 enemies within 10 seconds in Saga mode
Ranger
focuses on ranged combat instead of melee
has a greater visibility range than the warrior
can hit multiple enemies in a row even at a distance
receives special ammunition back
moves faster
although classified as one of the weaker classes, it is also available from the start and thus an alternative
Basically, none of the classes in Tribes of Midgard is truly bad. The greatest strength in the game comes from the weapons, their abilities, and the runes you collect. The classes simply give you a stronger role and determine where your focus lies.
Lionel Messi joins PSG. The news shook not only the real football world but will also be exciting for FIFA 22. Because Paris Saint-Germain is likely to field one of the most powerful teams in FIFA history.
This is the latest transfer in the real football world: Lionel Messi, who battled Cristiano Ronaldo for years for the title of the best footballer in the world, is leaving FC Barcelona after 21 years. His new employer: Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1.
PSG has been chasing the Champions League title for years and recently had, purely based on names, one of the best teams in the world. In 2020, PSG even reached the Champions League final, but had to succumb there to FC Bayern.
This year, PSG has again made significant purchases to get closer to the Champions League title. Messi is the biggest, but not the only transfer that PSG has made.
The result: An incredibly strong team that will likely have the strongest ratings of all clubs in FIFA 22.

Even on the official FIFA Twitter channel, the question has already been raised as to whether PSG might become the first six-star team in FIFA history. It likely won’t happen that Paris surpasses the known rating limits. But where the thought comes from is shown in the squad overview of PSG.
PSG in FIFA 22 – A team without weaknesses?
The unbelievable attack: If you look at the attack of Paris Saint-Germain, you get the impression that the decision-makers are just playing Ultimate Team in real life. Because PSG now has some of the most dangerous players in attack.
Lionel Messi is one of the most creative, finishing, and dribbling strong players of all time. In FIFA 22, he will surely take one of the top positions among the best players. It’s quite possible that he will once again be the highest-rated player in the game (icons excluded for now). If he gets a Ones-To-Watch card that improves with each TOTW nomination, he should quickly accumulate upgrades in Ultimate Team.
Kylian Mbappé is not only the cover star of FIFA 22, but also one of the most feared cards in the game. The Frenchman is incredibly fast, has endless skill moves, and possesses a dangerous finish.
Neymar completes the trio. The Brazilian is also among the strongest cards in FUT history, excelling with skills and dribbling. Neymar will certainly be represented in the top 10 as well. You can find a prediction for the FIFA 22 top 10 ratings here.
This trio alone should elevate PSG to FIFA heaven in terms of attack. And there are still players coming: Among others, Angel di Maria, also a highly rated dribbler, or forward Mauro Icardi are still involved in Paris.
This could be a possible PSG starting lineup – still without upgrades (via futbin Squad Builder)
The strong midfield: In midfield, Marco Verratti was already a strong player for PSG, and now the French have also gone shopping here. Liverpool midfielder Georgino Wijnaldum also joins PSG for the new season. This gives Paris a duo that is strong both in play and defensively in the center.
Complementing this are players like Idrissa Gueye, Ander Herrera, and Danilo Pereira – all of whom can also handle the ball and represent a strong backup.
The newly restructured defense: PSG is also extremely strong in defense. For instance, center-backs Marquinhos and Kimpembe are still there, both of whom should get upgrades. Additionally, there is new signing Sergio Ramos: One of the best center-backs in the world and traditionally also a top player in FIFA.
But that’s not all: PSG has also signed Achraf Hakimi from Inter Milan. The right-back is incredibly fast and consistently dangerous offensively. Also joining is Gianluigi Donnarumma, a newly crowned European champion in goal, who will compete with the already highly rated Keylor Navas for the number one spot.
In short: looking at the names, PSG is definitely not to be trifled with. While in real football one might say: “Well, let’s see if these stars really work together”, it is certain for FIFA 22 that the extremely high stats of some players should make PSG a top team.
Among other things, PSG scores with players who are strong in skills and impress with speed. This should fit well into the gameplay of FIFA. However, there will be some changes to the gameplay in FIFA 22 – you can see them here:
In FIFA 22 there are many innovations in gameplay – PSG will be able to take advantage of them
But no matter how the gameplay in FIFA 22 changes compared to FIFA 21: Footballers like Mbappé, Neymar, or Messi will continue to be among the best you can bring onto the pitch.
How strong PSG will ultimately be will be shown by the ratings when they are revealed in the weeks leading up to the FIFA release. We will keep you updated here at MeinMMO. Everything about the FIFA 22 release you can find here.

In League of Legends there was an absurd situation: The Twitch streamer Elekktro killed all players of the opposing team with Kindred, but in the process, he died himself and soon 4 of his opponents were back alive in front of him. This was due to a “revive” mechanic of the new LoL champ Akshan.
This is the scene on Twitch: The LoL streamer Elekktro is in a pretty crazy solo queue game with over 120 kills, which he clearly dominates as Kindred. It is the supposedly last push of the match: Elekktro has just killed 4 players, got a quadra kill, and is chasing the last opponent, Ashkan, all the way to his base and even to the well.
He kills Ashkan and gets the pentakill, but then dies from a shot from the well.
But because Akshan caused damage to Elekktro just before his own death, all 4 former victims of Elekktro are now alive again at the well, go on the attack, and finish the push.
A pentakill is the ultimate goal of every LoL player: It means you have killed all 5 opponents in relatively quick succession. This results in an “ass”, which usually means a sure victory in the late phases of a match.
Match still lost despite pentakill
So the match ended: The opponents actually won the match.
The streamer then looked rather bewildered but made a brave face and said: Well, at least he got the pentakill for the win. That is ultimately all that matters. There probably isn’t a better clip than a pentakill and a fourfold revival.
What is the deal with Ashkan? This special revive mechanic of Akshan was a big topic in the community before the release of the champ. Players found it “totally broken” and way too strong.
The revival of Akshan is the passive part of his skill “W – Going Rogue”: When Akshan kills an opponent who has previously killed one of his teammates, he can revive the fallen comrade. This even works if he himself is dead.

The scene was for Akshan the “best case” scenario that might occur once in ten thousand games.
However, when the champ actually arrived in LoL, Akshan lost his fright. Meanwhile, Akshan has already received several “help patches” from Riot Games.
Season 14 of Destiny 2 is slowly coming to an end, and players have now experienced the epilogue. This hints at great things for the future, and the story cutscene reminds one of an Avengers film. However, some felt that the finale was too little overall.
Warning, spoilers! Read at your own risk!
What’s the deal with the epilogue? Season 14 is entering its final weeks, ending with the weekly reset on August 24 and the start of the new Season 15.
Yesterday, on August 10, the last content communicated on the official roadmap of the outgoing season was released – the epilogue. Many players had speculated about what it could be – an event? The season finale? Now one can finally get a picture of it.
So far, the epilogue has turned out to be a quest with a mix of audio recordings, a mission, a new story cutscene, and conversations with important protagonists. This continues the seasonal story and drives it toward its peak. It takes a dark turn, raising more new questions about the future than it answers existing ones.
What’s in the epilogue
The key points in brief: The epilogue begins with an ominous message from the Splicer Servitor in the HELM base, as well as a transmission from Lakshmi-2. She announces that she is letting the Vex into the Last City of humanity to eliminate the Eliksni seeking refuge there.
The Eliksni fight side by side with the Guardians against the Vex
This had been hinted at since the start of the season; Lakshmi had visions of the Eliksni being part of an armed conflict in the city, which is why she deemed them dangerous and rejected the alliance with Mithrax and his House of Light. But as it seems now, it was her own doing, and she had assistance from one of our greatest heroes – the Warlock Osiris. Or one of our greatest enemies. But more on that shortly. And Lakshmi herself is killed during the events – apparently by someone she trusted.
The Guardians then fight against a Vex overpower at the Eliksni shelter in the city, and after a long fight, they manage to close the portal and stop the invasion.
Cutscene straight out of Avengers: Here there is now a cutscene where Destiny 2 gathers its heroes in true Avengers style and lets them spectacularly fight against the Vex. Mithrax and Saint-14 now fight side by side, telling each other what an honor it is to fight alongside one another. Ikora, who had remained bland for a long time in the past, has a spectacular appearance and helps the Guardians achieve victory with a Nova Bomb.
Other Guardians like Zavala or Amanda Holiday also fight side by side here to fend off the threat.
After the battle, there are some new dialogue lines when you speak to some of the participants in the Tower.
You can watch the whole thing in the video here:

Destiny 2 is likely to lose a major hero – for now? The scene also reveals the dark fate of the Warlock Osiris – one of the city’s greatest heroes and actually our ally.
At the beginning of the battle in the city, he is actually considered missing. However, during the cutscene, you can see him standing off to the side of the battle on a building, watching the fight grimly – without helping. Ultimately, he turns away and disappears.
This is likely the definitive proof that Osiris, whom we have dealt with in the last 3 seasons, cannot be the legendary Warlock who always had the best interests of the city and the Traveler in mind and did everything for it. The real Osiris would have never just stood by and watched idly while his friends and allies fought for their lives.
The most common theory, which also closely relates to the leaks regarding the Witch Queen expansion, is that Osiris is actually Savathûn – the Witch Queen herself, the main antagonist of the upcoming expansion, who has been pulling strings in the background for a long time with cunning and trickery. It is also assumed that this Osiris has murdered Lakshmi-2.
This theory actually has its roots in the Season of the Hunt, where Osiris mysteriously lost his Light and his Ghost Sagira died.
Is this really the true Osiris? Most doubt it…
What does this mean for the future? Generally, the recent events in the context of the epilogue have some implications for the further course of the story but also raise a lot of questions that will probably be answered in part during the Witch Queen or possibly already in the coming Season 15.
If Savathûn has been in the city all along, it is highly likely that she is planning something enormous there. But what is it? Who else might have been under her influence? What happened to the real Osiris, and is his Ghost Sagira really dead? This storyline is certainly far from over.
How are players reacting? Overall, many find the story and its recent developments, including the latest cutscene, good. But there is clearly criticism.
Many players find it too predictable and too stretched out in the context of the season. Overall, some expected more from the epilogue, which was prominently presented with its own tile in the roadmap. A few new dialogue lines, a short cutscene, and an otherwise completely identical mission – that is simply too little for a worthy season finale that they now want to pompously sell as “epilogue”.
In short: Story-wise, many find the epilogue itself good, but too predictable, too short, and in terms of the mission, too unimaginative, which has disappointed some players.
Is more to come? Yes, according to data mining, that is not everything yet. Next week, at least one more mission should come. However, whether something exciting or more substantial will be added in this context remains to be seen.
How are you finding the epilogue of the outgoing Season 15 so far? Is your Guardian heart satisfied or was it also too little for you and are you now disappointed? And what do you think will happen with Osiris and Savathûn? Let us know in the comments, and share your views with other readers of MeinMMO.

In Pokémon GO, Giovanni is one of the toughest PvE bosses you can fight. A player specifically chose “small” Pokémon to show how he defeats the boss using attackers that have a maximum of 500 CP.
What is it about? A video from a Pokémon GO trainer shows the battle against Giovanni. The player voluntarily took on the challenge of fighting the boss with as weak attackers as possible while still managing to win.
The community discusses the video and notes how close the victory ultimately was.
The battle against Giovanni is that close
This is shown: In the nearly five-minute video, the trainer uses the attackers Farbreeze (394 CP), Irokex (497 CP), and Hoppspross (499 CP).
Farbreeze has only a brief appearance and mainly ensures that Giovanni uses his first shield
Irokex quickly draws out the second and thus the last shield
Giovanni has consumed his two shields and is therefore now unprotected against charge attacks from the attacker
With great effort, Irokex then defeats Snobilikat and barely survives
This allows Irokex to deal some damage to Geowaz before being switched out
As the last attacker, Hoppspross then steps in and can effectively attack Geowaz with its grass attacks
Since Giovanni has no shields left, the charge attacks from Hoppspross go through
The last HP are knocked out of Geowaz by Irokex
Against Ho-Oh, Irokex and Farbreeze are used again, who still belong to the team with low HP
Due to Ho-Oh’s slow attacks, Farbreeze can survive for a long time and deal damage with its comparatively faster charge attack

This is what the community says: In the comments on reddit, players praise the battle but also say that there is still potential (via reddit.com):
“This is the best I’ve ever seen”
“Incredible. At the end, it gets really close. No room for mistakes or lag.”
“Fairly, it must be said that there are moments when the pause after a switch is not utilized well. [The player] could have farmed much longer with Farbreeze after switching against Ho-Oh. The pause after a switch is longer than after a charge attack. Other than that, a very impressive game!”
The player responds: “That was intentional. I wanted to use as many Meteorologist attacks as possible in a short time, because my main problem was not the energy, but the time.”

Sayu is the first playable 4-star character from Inazuma in Genshin Impact, available since August 10, 2021. We at MeinMMO show you how to play her correctly.
Who is Sayu actually? The little ninja girl Sayu belongs to the rather unknown Shiyuumatsuban organization, to which she has been loyal since childhood.
However, what she does best is lounging around. When asked about it, she reluctantly denies this with excuses. Sayu mainly masters the ninja arts, which allow her to lounge even more. For example, she can summon the Mujimuji-Daruma, which helps her do things she does not want to do. It also supports her in battle, which we will discuss further in the next section.
Furthermore, Sayu’s stature and height are concerning. While all the people around her are growing up and getting older, she still has the appearance of a little girl. She is convinced that sleep helps her grow.
The Anemo ninja wields a claymore as a weapon despite her size. You can gather first impressions of Sayu in this video:

What are Sayu’s abilities? As a standard attack, she performs 4 swings with her claymore. As already known from other claymore users, Sayu also spins around with the weapon, which consumes stamina. At the end, she strikes even harder.
Sayu’s elemental skill “Yuhu Style – Fuuin Strike” consists of switching to “windmill mode,” charging at the opponent and triggering Anemo damage. The subsequent windmill kick causes additional Anemo area damage.
If you hold the elemental skill button while using the skill, Sayu stays in windmill mode for a maximum of 10 seconds, increasing her interruption resistance. If you press the button again, a stronger windmill kick will be triggered.
Additionally, she can absorb Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro elements by holding down the skill button, inflicting extra damage with them during kicking and rolling. This is only possible once within the 10 seconds. The longer you let Sayu roll around, the higher the cooldown will be. It varies from 6 to 11 seconds.
Sayu’s special ability is called “Yuhu Style – Mujina Confusion.” When you activate this ability, Sayu summons the previously mentioned Mujimuji-Daruma for 12 seconds, which performs different actions depending on the situation:
If characters within the Mujimuji-Daruma’s range have more than 70% HP, it attacks nearby enemies and causes Anemo damage.
Restores the HP of the character with the least HP on the field up to 70%. The HP restoration is based on Sayu’s attack. If there are no enemies nearby, the 70% HP cap is ignored, and the character continues to heal. The cooldown for this skill is 20 seconds.
Which talents have priority for Sayu? Even though the Mujimuji-Daruma catches your eye with its healing and attacks, you should by no means overlook the Fuuin Strike. At maximum level, it can deal 516.8% damage when held down.
If you want to primarily use Sayu as a healer, you should prioritize leveling her special ability.
Sayu’s passive talents are also very useful. With the “Yuhu Style – Quiet Steps” talent, animals will no longer run away. This also applies to the crystal butterflies, which are usually difficult to collect.
Crystal butterflies are used to craft enriched resin
Furthermore, the talent “Better Choice” brings even more healing. Each time Sayu triggers a swirl, 300 HP will be restored to the character and teammates. For every point of Sayu’s elemental mastery, an additional 1.2 HP will be restored.
This talent has a cooldown of 2 seconds. The last passive talent, “Evening Off,” only relates to Sayu’s special ability. This talent heals characters near the initially healed character by 20%. Additionally, it increases the damage range of Mujimuji-Daruma.
What do the constellations bring? This list shows you the most important constellations and what bonuses they provide.
1st Constellation, “Concentration Technique”: The HP cap of 70% is ignored. The enemies are attacked by the Mujimuji-Daruma while you are healed at the same time.
2nd Constellation, “Escape Route”: The Fuuin Strike deals 3.3% more damage when pressed. When held down, it deals 3.3% more damage every 0.5 seconds. A maximum damage increase of 66% can be achieved.
4th Constellation, “Professional Tails”: 1.2 elemental energy is restored with every swirl triggered by Sayu. With a 2-second cooldown. This ensures a faster use of Sayu’s special ability.
6th Constellation, “Sleep Time”: Increases the attack damage and healing of Mujimuji-Daruma based on Sayu’s elemental mastery.
Each point of elemental mastery increases damage by an additional 0.2% and healing by 3 HP. A maximum of 400% additional damage and 6000 HP healing is possible in this way. This corresponds to a maximum elemental mastery of 2000. To make Mujimuji-Daruma even more useful, the first constellation is very worthwhile for you, as it attacks at all times and also heals you.
Weapons for Sayu
Which weapons do we recommend for Sayu? Since Sayu’s healing scales with her attack value and elemental mastery comes into play with her passive talent, she has several options for weapon selection.
If you want to play Sayu as both main DPS and support, the claymore “Wolf’s Gravestone” is recommended. Wolf’s Gravestone increases attack by 20% and also gains additional attack bonuses upon leveling up. Additionally, it increases the attacks of all team members by 40% for 12 seconds when an enemy is attacked at 30% HP.
Wolf’s Gravestone is also suitable for other main DPS characters like Diluc or Razor
Moreover, the claymore “Skyward Pride” is recommended. This increases the charge rate when leveling up, allowing for faster use of Sayu’s special ability. Additionally, it increases damage by 8% and creates a vacuum blade with hits, which accounts for 80% of the attack value.
As a four-star alternative, the “Sacrificial Greatsword” is available. This also increases the charge rate and provides a 40% chance to skip the cooldown of the elemental skill.
If you want to boost your elemental mastery, the “Raincutter” is recommended. However, its ability becomes truly worthwhile only if you also have a Hydro or Electro character on the team. It increases damage to enemies affected by Hydro or Electro effects by 20%.
Which free-to-play swords are worthwhile? The claymore “Guhua Prototype” is the most worthwhile. This increases the attack sub-stat when leveling up and has a 50% chance to deal additional damage of 240% attack to enemies.
If you have progressed further in Inazuma, you can also choose the sword “Katsuragikiri Nagamasa” as an alternative to the Sacrificial Greatsword or Skyward Pride.
If you are still at the very beginning of the game, you can rely on weapons like “Solid Argument” or the “Dragonblood Sword“.
All values mentioned in the text refer to the weapon at refinement level 1.
Guhua Prototype
Katsuragikiri Nagamasa
Solid Argument
Dragonblood Sword
Free-to-Play claymores
These artifacts fit Sayu best
What artifacts benefit Sayu the most? This depends on the path you want to take with Sayu. If you want to mainly play her as a healer, the following set combination is recommended:
with 2-piece bonus “Wanderer’s Troupe“: Increases elemental mastery by 80 points
or 2-piece bonus “Maiden Beloved”: Increases the active healing effect of the character by 15%
Make sure that the hourglass has attack%, the cup attack% or elemental mastery, and the crown healing bonus, elemental mastery, or critical damage (CD) and critical rate (CR). The other artifacts should also include sub-stats of attack, elemental mastery, charge rate, CD, and CR.
2-piece bonus Old Court Ritual: Special skill damage increased by 20%.
4-piece bonus Old Court Ritual: After using a special skill, all team members’ attack is increased by 20% for 12 seconds.
This variant is advisable if you want to support your entire team with Sayu.
2-piece bonus Talisman of the Faded Path: Increases the charge rate by 20%.
4-piece bonus Talisman of the Faded Path: Increases damage caused by special skills based on 25% of the charge rate. A bonus of up to 75% can be achieved this way.
In this way, your Sayu deals more damage with her special ability. If you choose Sayu as sub-DPS, focus on attack%, charge rate, or Anemo damage and CD or CR.
Additionally, Sayu is also available as a main-DPS variant. The artifact set “Viridescent Venerer” is the best choice. However, you can also choose the set as a supporter and sub-DPS since the resistance reduction against swirls is very useful.
2-piece bonus: Increases Anemo damage by 15%
4-piece bonus: Increases the damage of swirls by 60% and reduces elemental resistance against the swirl’s element by 40% for 10 seconds.
The main stats in this case should be attack%, Anemo damage, and CD or CR. Elemental mastery and charge rate as sub-stats should not be overlooked either.
Gladiator’s Finale
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence
Wanderer’s Troupe
Maiden Beloved
Old Court Ritual
Talisman of the Faded Path
Viridescent Venerer
Sayu is suitable for every role and can support you in many different ways. However, this is also strongly dependent on which constellation you have for Sayu. If you have unlocked Sayu’s 6th constellation, it might be worth investing more in elemental mastery than in attack and CD/CR stats.
Which characters harmonize with Sayu? Since Sayu has many different build options, we at MeinMMO have compiled a few team suggestions from the many effective teams.
Anemo/Pyro Build:
Bennett, for the attack buff from his special ability
Kazuha or Sucrose, as both have crowd control on the ground and passive talents that can boost Sayu’s elemental mastery
Klee for additional damage. Her bombs are also attracted by the crowd control
or Xiangling as Klee and Free-to-Play alternative, due to her special ability
2 Anemo characters and 2 Pyro characters also trigger team bonuses. One provides a 25% attack boost, and the cooldown of skills is reduced by 5%.
Bennett is a 4-star character who provides good group support
Team centered around Sayu as Main-DPS:
Zhongli/Noelle, for the protective shield
Albedo, for additional damage, without necessarily needing to be on the field
Jean as an Anemo battery to charge Sayu’s special ability
Or better:
Bennett
Mona, for her special ability and thus more damage through the vaporize reaction
Xiangling
Four star teams:
Bennett
Xiangling
Sucrose
or alternatively
Xingqiu together with
Kaeya or Chongyun, to trigger the freeze effect
Xiangling, for the additional melt combo while her special ability is active
Additionally, you can replace your current healer with Sayu to support your Main-DPS. Diluc, Ganyu, Keqing, Eula, Xiao, Ayaka and Razor primarily need a healer by their side.
What do you think of these builds? Who would you combine Sayu with? Will you try to get her or are you saving for other characters? Feel free to write it in the comments!
A new cutscene in World of Warcraft shows Prince Anduin in an important memory. We reveal what happens there.
In World of Warcraft, a new week has begun, and with it, the final chapter of the Covenant campaign from Patch 9.1 is now accessible to all who have reached Glory Level 58. It features a few interesting moments, including a sequence with Anduin.
Spoiler Alert: The article discusses Anduin and the current events from Patch 9.1. Those who want to avoid spoilers should not continue reading.
The campaign’s story revolves around the compass that Anduin left behind after the battle against Sylvanas in Oribos before stepping through the portal with the Jailer.
The compass is a memento of his father Varian Wrynn, who carried it during the assault on the Broken Shore (Legion). After Varian’s death, the compass was found by the player characters and returned to Anduin.
What is seen in the sequence? While analyzing the compass, Jaina and Bolvar find a memory of Anduin that is then played back. It is a conversation between Anduin and Sylvanas. They discuss the upcoming attack of the heroes who will ascend Torghast in the Sanctum of Domination, and how Anduin is slowly changing under the influence of the Jailer. He sympathizes with Sylvanas and understands how she must have felt under the influence of the Lich King.

We have translated the conversation for you from English:
Sylvanas:The battle is about to begin. I will handle the invading forces at the top of Torghast. When we reach Oribos, you will defend Zovaal while he completes the ritual.
Anduin: You mean he will force me to defend him. Every time he controls my will, I feel myself slipping away further. Is that what you felt when Arthas resurrected you, Sylvanas? Hollow. Empty. Everything you once were… consumed by darkness.
Sylvanas:Yes, young lion. But in the end, all the sacrifices we made will have been worth it. Once the cycle of life and death is destroyed and remade, we will–
Anduin: By then, I will be lost. And so will you. I just hope my friends remember me as I was… Not as what you have made me.

What does this mean for the story? The fact that Anduin deliberately left the compass behind clearly indicates that he is not yet fully subjected to the Jailer’s will – even if he seems to lose a little more of himself each time Zovaal exerts control. At least there is still hope that Anduin can be rescued.
What do you think of this cutscene? A cool cliffhanger that brings hope for more story with Anduin? Or another piece of “butchered Warcraft history”?

With the start of the new “Mythic+” season, some issues with the dungeons have already emerged a few weeks ago. Some bosses are particularly stubborn or cause too many problems, prompting Blizzard to step in. New nerfs have now been released, affecting 7 of the 8 original Shadowlands dungeons. The raid “Sanctum of Domination” has also been simplified in some areas.
What has changed? Basically, the strength of some bosses and trash mobs has been adjusted, as they were too powerful depending on the affix and were causing special difficulties for groups. Almost every dungeon has received at least a small nerf, making it easier to successfully complete the instances even at higher difficulty levels.
These are the changes in detail
The Other Side
The duration of “Fury” of the Enraged Spirits has been reduced from 6 seconds to 5 seconds.
Halls of Atonement
The time limit in “Mythic+” has been raised from 31 minutes to 32 minutes.
The damage of Echelon’s Stonebreaker Jump has been reduced by 15% in “Mythic” and “Mythic+”.
Mists of Tirna Scithe
The duration of Droman’s Wrath in the fight against Ignra Maloch has been increased from 12 to 15 seconds.
Plaguefall
The health points of the Slime Tentacles from Plaguebearer have been reduced by 50%.
The health points of the Slime Tentacles from Globgrog have been reduced by 30%.
Bloody Depths
Greedy Tick now loses all stacks of Overfed when it leaves the fight.
Energy-Filled Quill no longer triggers effects like Spicy or Bloody upon death.
Kryxis the Voracious now deals 20% less damage.
The Necrotic Wake
Surgeon Fleshweaver now has 10% less health.
Theater of Pain
Sathel the Cursed’s shield now absorbs only 20% of its health in damage (previously 30%).
Dessia the Decapitator now deals 40% less damage with Smash.
When are the changes live? Already now. With the server restart last night from August 10 to August 11, the changes have been activated. You should notice them in the Sanctum of Domination and the various dungeons immediately.

What else has changed? Apart from the significant nerfs, there have also been a few bug fixes that will surely please toy collectors. For many weeks, players have been trying to farm the toy “Darkened Judgment Stone” – but it has never dropped. Now Blizzard has finally adjusted it and ensured that the toy can be dropped by mobs in Korthia and in the Rift.
What do you think of the nerfs? Are they good and sensible? Or has everything become way too easy?

The FIFA 22 Career Mode allows you to create your own club. We show you all the innovations that the Career Mode in FIFA 22 will receive.
This is the Career Mode: The Career Mode is perhaps the most important offline mode in FIFA. It is divided into Manager and Player career.
In Manager Career, players take over a club of their choice and try to lead it to the top of the world. For this, players are bought and sold, talents are trained, and of course, a lot of matches are won – at least in an ideal scenario.
In Player Career, however, you can take control of a single player and guide their career from nobody to star.
While in previous years only existing teams could be used, the career is now more personal. Players can create their own club – with everything that entails.
FIFA 22 Career Mode – Founding Your Own Club
This is how you start with your own club: First, you can set a name and a nickname for your club that commentators will use (via EA Sports / Pitch Notes).
After that, you select the league in which you want to play. To do this, you must replace a club that will then be managed in the “Rest of the World”. You can choose any league in FIFA 22. So it is up to you whether you want to fight your way up or start at the top right away.
Next, you need a rival club against which you can have particularly exciting matches. This will also be addressed in the Career Mode through commentary, news, and similar features.
You can customize the following in the club: At the beginning of each season, you can customize three points in your club.
The crest
The jersey
The stadium
So you don’t have to start each season with the same look as the last one – no one does that in real life either.
This is how you customize the stadium: The stadium is already customizable in Ultimate Team and recently also Pro Clubs, now the Career Mode follows.
You can customize the following:
The color
The seat color
Field patterns
Goals
Goal songs
Chants
Club anthem
With these options, you can make your club significantly more personal than in the past.

This is how you acquire your team: You start the Career Mode with a so-called “Squad Builder” that allows you to create your basic club. Here too, you can decide whether you want to start as an underdog or right away with really strong players.
You can also adjust the transfer budget based on these factors. The same goes for the requirements from your club management. Depending on how strong your club is, the priorities of your club managers will vary as well.
Player Career Becomes More Comprehensive
What changes in Player Career? The Player Career has also received some upgrades. The first of these: You can finally be a substitute!
Although it’s not something you necessarily want, in the past it was not possible to be brought onto the field by the coach from the bench. This is now possible – and is more representative of how young players start in professional football.
This is how your coach rates you: In order to rise in the team, you must earn the trust of your coach. The coach assigns you specific tasks for each of your appearances.
If you fulfill them, your rating increases. If you fail, there are consequences.
In Career Mode, you need to earn respect
Depending on how you and your teammates perform, your role in the team will be determined. At large clubs, it becomes correspondingly harder to get and keep a spot. If in doubt, it can even happen that you land on the loan or transfer list.
This is how you improve: Your self-created players earn experience points as you level up. You can earn XP through training, but mainly through good matches. The amount depends on your performance and factors like goals and assists.
You can then spend the points in the skill tree. This way, you can precisely control in which direction you want to improve your Pro.

This is how the Career is improved: Overall, the Career Mode is equipped with more “atmosphere”. This includes things like:
Scenes from the locker room in Player Career, where players celebrate or mourn – depending on how the match went.
More story elements in the news that are taken into account in the career. For example, when new players debut, you win an award, or set new records.
From PS5, Xbox Series X, and Stadia, there will also be new cinematics. For example, there will be scenes when your manager takes a new job, or when the crowd leaves early if you play poorly.
Your club heroes can now also be celebrated in choreography in the stands. This is now possible for all players – even those you have created yourself.
Will FIFA 22 Get an Online Career Mode?
This is the situation with Online Career Mode: Many players have long wanted an online component in Career Mode. Currently, it does not appear that FIFA 22 will have one.
An Online Career Mode is unfortunately not mentioned in the Pitch Notes. Therefore, it can be assumed that the Career Mode in FIFA 22 remains an offline experience.
What do you think of the innovations in Career Mode? Do you find them exciting – or were you expecting more? Let us know in the comments!
Excessive goal celebrations in Ultimate Team can be quite annoying for some players – especially when you find yourself on the wrong end of the goal. In FIFA 22, the developers want to bring an unusual solution for this.
What is the problem? Celebrations in FIFA are a bit of a hassle – at least in online play. Every single goal you score can be celebrated with a small animation.
FIFA features entire arsenals of different celebrations. Some are inspired by real football players, but not exclusively. What they all have in common is that they provide a short animation celebrating the goal after each score.
This is of course fun when you score the goal yourself. It’s less amusing when you concede a goal. Or, worse: When you’re having a really bad game, concede 10 goals, and have to endure the opponent laughing in your face in close-up each time.

The “Turn & Zoom” celebration was particularly “popular” among many players.
This can not only cause quite a bit of frustration but also prolong the game. Since you can only skip the celebration if the opponent decides to do so, you can sometimes be helplessly subjected to the celebration.
However, even in FIFA 21, there were still ongoing discussions about celebrations after goals. In FIFA 22, the developers are now pursuing a new approach.
Sad players or celebrating opponents – your choice!
What is planned for FIFA 22? On August 10, 2021, new information about the Ultimate Team mode in FIFA 22 was announced. In addition to changes to Weekend League and Division Rivals, the so-called “Celebration Camera Settings” were also announced.
“Conceding a goal is always painful, especially in a hard-fought match. While the celebration is an important part of real football, we know it can be a frustrating experience for some players to watch it,” the developers write (via Pitch Notes).
With the new camera setting, while celebrations cannot be disabled, at least you can look away. Effectively, a new camera focus is introduced that does not show the opponent celebrating but instead shows how your team reacts to the goal.
As the players are said to behave more realistically off the ball according to gameplay changes in FIFA 22, there are likely to be screams of anger and frustration on the agenda. Whether this is really less humiliating than the opponent’s celebration is probably a matter of taste.
Whether you should see the opponent or your sad players is up to you to decide. By default, the setting is set to “Opponent Celebration,” but you can change that as you wish. This setting affects not only Ultimate Team but also other modes in FIFA 22.
Blizzard has announced that before the release of Diablo 2: Resurrected there will be an Early Access Beta. This starts in August 2021 – over a month before the actual release.
When and where is the Early Access? The pre-beta for Diablo 2: Resurrected begins on Friday, August 13, 2021. The kickoff is at 7:00 PM German time. The beta test runs until Tuesday, August 17.
The Early Access Beta can be played on almost all supported platforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. For Early Access, you need Xbox Live Gold if you are playing on Xbox. For the release, you will also need Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus to play multiplayer. PS Plus is not a requirement for Early Access.
All tests will support both multiplayer and cross-progression. Up to 8 players can play together. A beta on the Nintendo Switch is currently not planned.
How can I play Diablo 2: Resurrected earlier? To participate in the Early Access Beta, you must pre-order either Diablo 2: Resurrected or the Prime Evil Collection. Then you will receive guaranteed access.
Alternatively, you can wait for the later Open Beta without Early Access. This starts on Friday, August 20, also at 7:00 PM German time and does not require a pre-order. The Open Beta ends on August 23. Progress made during Early Access will carry over to the Open Beta. However, progress will be reset before the release.
The conclusion on the Diablo 2 alpha from colleagues at GameStar.
5 Classes, 2 Acts
What content does the beta offer? In the beta, you can play and test the first two acts of Diablo 2. The class selection is also limited, of the 7 playable classes at launch, only 5 will be available in the beta test:
The tests are also not under any NDA, everything can be recorded and streamed. Controller support for the console versions should also be available, but it is still in the testing phase. So you may encounter bugs.
By the way, the remake of Diablo 2 is not just a title to watch for nostalgia:
The MMORPG Astellia launched in January 2020 on Steam and even received a Free2Play version in 2021. However, it now has hardly any players left. The creators announced that: Astellia will be discontinued.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Astellia is a traditional Buy2Play MMORPG and is among the best MMORPGs of 2019. As one of 5 classes, you fight through dungeons, the open world, or directly face monsters and bosses in the Coliseum.
The special feature of Astellia are the named Astels, magical companions who fight for you. Astels fulfill the role of a tank, healer, or DPS and can be collected and leveled up.
After the release in September 2019, Astellia appeared on Steam in January 2020 and initially received a fairly good reception there. Players regarded it as a solid, if not exceptionally good MMORPG – it was ‘not too bad at all.’
However, it is now being discontinued.
What has now happened? In January 2021, Astellia Royal was released, a Free2Play version of the MMORPG. However, on August 10, the developers announced that the servers would be shut down. On October 29, Astellia will be officially discontinued (via Steam).
The launch trailer for Astellia.
Hardly any players left, no longer for sale
Here’s the latest status of Astellia: The player numbers and the ratings of both versions have significantly decreased over time. Most recently, the numbers looked quite poor for an MMORPG on Steam in July:
Astellia had a peak of 42 players in July and an average of 22.3 players (via steamcharts.com)
The Free2Play version peaked at 52 players and averaged 28.1 players (via steamcharts.com)
Currently, both versions are neither for sale nor can they be downloaded on Steam
The YouTuber TheLazyPeon shows in a new Let’s Play from July 2021 the empty servers. He plays for several hours and encounters hardly any other players:

As early as the end of 2019, shortly after the launch in Europe, Astellia was discontinued in its home country Korea. At that time, it was said that the closure would not negatively affect the western version. No reason was given.
Why is the game closing? Upon the release of Astellia Royal the MMORPG was completely torn apart on Steam. Recent reviews are somewhat sparse, but existing players criticize the performance.
User LordFugi also finds the balance problematic: ‘I am constantly dying in the dungeon and just can’t get any further. What’s the deal? I’m level 20, the boss is level 16, and I keep dying. I’ve died 350 times now – that should be a record’ (via Steam).
The lack of players is particularly affecting the MMORPG since you can’t trade with anyone when no one is left. The decline is likely related to previous Pay2Win accusations – for instance, top gear was supposedly too easily purchasable and new Astels were available through a controversial gacha system.
After a true flood of new MMORPGs, Astellia is now among the games that will be buried in 2021 – and it doesn’t even appear on the list by MMORPG expert Alexander Leitsch:
Do you have a bit too much time, love clicking on things, and enjoy cookies? Are you looking for a game that combines these qualities and allows you to share your achievements on Steam? Perfect! Then Cookie Clicker is probably for you.
What is Cookie Clicker? Cookie Clicker is an 8-year-old browser game. According to legend, it was put together in just one evening by its developer Julien “Orteil” Thiennot and posted on the internet – before it captivated hundreds of thousands of players.
In an AMA on reddit, the developer confirmed eight years ago that he did not expect the success: “Hell no, it was meant to be a joke game that no one in their right mind would play for more than 10 minutes” (via reddit).
What was originally intended as a joke exploded and contributed to the creation of an entirely new genre: Idle Games.
These are games that mainly consist of performing simple clicks, making progress, and unlocking automations that essentially take the gameplay off your hands.
In Cookie Clicker, you click on a cookie to collect cookies. Once you have collected enough cookies, you can unlock upgrades that bring you even more cookies. You can see what it looks like, for example, in the new Steam trailer:

Additional cursors that click on the cookie with you
Grannies that help with baking
A farm that produces even more cookies
Later on, things get quite wild. From insane upgrades for the grannies to cyborg-controlled factories to time- and space-traveling cookies, everything is included. As you can see, it didn’t just stay a simple cookie clicker. The game has been continuously updated and expanded over the years. However, the principle has remained the same:
Click
Collect cookies
Click more
Collect upgrades
Accumulate absurd amounts of cookies
Cookie Clicker is Coming to Steam Soon
This is Cookie Clicker on Steam: Cookie Clicker will be released on September 1, 2021, on Steam. It is expected to cost $4.99, with a Euro price yet to be announced. If you want to try it out in the browser, you can still do so on the Cookie Clicker website (here via Orteil / Cookie Clicker).
On Steam, the game will feature over 600 upgrades, music by Minecraft composer C418, and more than 500 Steam achievements (via Steam).
Additionally, there will be mini-games, the ability to pet a dragon, permanent heavenly upgrades, and cloud saves. Thus, the collected cookies will always remain intact.
Interesting lists you can read alongside cookie production:
Overall, Cookie Clicker is probably the perfect game to waste time. It even claims so itself: In the trailer, it refers to itself as a game that not only defines the idle genre but has also caused global productivity problems.
In Destiny 2, the new Weekly Reset on August 10 brings the “Epilogue” of the Season of the Splicer. It introduces a new quest, a final override mission, a cool cinematic, and brings action back to the MMO just before the end of the season. What else can you expect this week?
This is what the Epilogue looks like: The Season 14, the Season of the Splicer, ends on August 24. Today, August 10, marks the start of the last event of the chapter: the so-called Epilogue. In it, the Vex attack the Last City – the nasty Lakshmi has been warning us about the invasion for weeks and has now simply initiated the civil war.
Today, the quest “As Prophecized” starts in the Epilogue. For you, there is also a new override mission in the Eliksni refugee camp of the Last City. After that, you can enjoy an action-packed video. The Vex receive support from the Taken. Make sure to equip weapons and mods against barrier and unstoppable champions.
The Vex march into the Eliksni refugee camp
Will we be able to complete the quest today, or do we have to wait a week longer for the finale of Season 14? At the end of the quest line, an exotic ship and an Ascendant Shard should await you. What is interesting for the upcoming Season 15 has been summarized by MeinMMO here:
In the raid, you will face the challenge at the Gatekeeper: “Time-Lost” requires you to kill Wyverns and Vex Minotaurs at the portal simultaneously. So take down the Wyverns first and finish them off simultaneously or eliminate them with a super directly while the relic holder deals with the Minotaur.
As a reward in the raid’s challenge mode, a time-lost weapon awaits. This week, the rocket launcher Heze’s Revenge will drop with surplus and cluster bombs from the challenge.
Petra Venj is in the area of “Rheasilvia”, the Dreaming City – so the maximum curse level is in effect (Week 3). You can also prove yourself here in the 4th Ascendant Challenge.
Sources for top loot in Season 14 of Destiny 2
This is the new max level: In the Season of the Splicer, the maximum power level of your gear rises to 1,320. In Season 15, the level increases only by +10, so those who are diligent now will save themselves the grind in the future.
Here you can find pinnacle loot that can get you over 1,310:
Reach at least 100,000 points as a team in the Nightfall: Devil’s Lair (+2)
Open 3 Conflux chests with key codes in Override (+1)

Yoimiya’s Abilities
What attacks and abilities does she possess? As a normal attack, Yoimiya shoots up to five arrows. With her heavy blow, she executes a precise shot with higher damage and higher accuracy. Depending on the charge time, the attack causes different effects:
Charge Level 1: Shoots a fire arrow that deals Pyro damage
Charge Level 2: Creates up to 3 fire arrows depending on the charge time, which are fired along with the shot. They automatically seek out nearby enemies and deal Pyro damage
Yoimiya’s elemental ability is called “Niwabi Fire Dance.” This converts the arrows for 10 seconds and causes them to deal increased Pyro damage. During the duration of the elemental ability, Yoimiya cannot reach charge level 2 with her heavy blow. The effect ends prematurely if she is switched out.
Additionally, she has the special ability “Ryuukin Stonebreaker.” There, the archer fires fireworks rockets at enemies and deals Pyro area damage. Furthermore, a struck enemy is marked. The effect “Ryuukin Flame” then activates for 10 seconds:
It triggers an explosion when hitting marked enemies with normal attacks, heavy blows, dropping attacks, elemental abilities, and special abilities from all team members, except for Yoimiya herself, causing Pyro area damage
If a marked enemy is defeated faster than the duration of the effect, the effect automatically jumps to a nearby enemy with the remaining duration
There is a cooldown of 2 seconds between the explosions
The effect ends immediately if Yoimiya is defeated
An enemy marked by the Ryuukin Flame
Worthwhile Constellations
What do the constellations bring? This listing shows you the most important constellations and what bonuses they provide.
1st Constellation, “Ryuukin in Red”: Extends the duration of Ryuukin Flame by 4 seconds. Additionally, during the duration of Ryuukin Flame, Yoimiya’s attack increases by 20% for 20 seconds if the enemy defeated is affected by the flame created by Yoimiya.
2nd Constellation, “Flaring Parade”: When a critical hit is made with Yoimiya’s Pyro damage, her Pyro damage increases by 25% for 6 seconds. The effect remains, even if Yoimiya is no longer on the field.
4th Constellation, “Expert Pyrotechnics”: When a Ryuukin Flame explodes, the cooldown of Niwabi Fire Dance decreases by 1.2 seconds.
6th Constellation, “Naganohara Meteor Shower”: With a 50% chance, an additional arrow is shot during normal attacks and deals 60% of the actual damage of the normal attack.
Like many 5-star characters, Yoimiya will also deal sufficient damage with C0. C0 means “Constellation 0,” which defines that she has 0 constellations unlocked. If you plan to keep the archer on the field longer and deal damage, then C1 would be worth it. C2 is very practical because you can switch out Yoimiya without worry to quickly heal her with another character. This way, you can apply other elements to enemies and then switch to Yoimiya to trigger more reactions and/or deliver the final blow to the enemies.
Which talents should you level up first? For Yoimiya, it’s worth leveling up her normal attack first. All five damage phases scale nearly double from level one to ten. For example, at level one, with a normal shot, she does 35.64% damage, and at level ten, 63.59%. She benefits most from her normal attack, as her elemental ability is meant to enhance this and not to trigger elemental reactions, as is common with many other characters.
To further increase the damage of the normal attack, you can then level up her elemental ability. However, if you want Ryuukin Flame to deal more damage, choose her special ability. The damage output of the special ability is increased by 101.76% between levels one and ten, while the flame can deal 97.6% more damage.
What are Yoimiya’s passive talents? Her passive ability “Instigator” emphasizes the importance of her normal attacks. This increases Pyro damage by 2% while Yoimiya is using Niwabi Fire Dance and hitting with normal attacks. This effect is stackable 10 times, meaning she can receive a maximum of 20% additional Pyro damage.
Another of her passive abilities is called “Summer Heat.” With this, the attack of all team members who were near Yoimiya after she has used Ryuukin Stonebreaker increases by 10% for 15 seconds. Additionally, Summer Heat works together with Instigator. For each stack of Instigator, the attack increases by an additional 1%. This allows for a maximum of 20% attack bonus for other team members.
“Inflammable Coordination” enables you to recover 100% of the consumed materials when crafting embellishments, ornaments, and landscape decorations. Yoimiya is the first character with this ability.
Suitable Weapons for Yoimiya
What weapons do we recommend for Yoimiya? Since she mainly operates with normal attacks, the best weapon is the “Thundering Pulse“. This 5-star weapon will be available in the weapon banner from August 10 for three weeks. The weapon increases attack by 20% and the damage of normal attacks by 12/24/40% at 1/2/3 stacks, respectively. You receive these stacks through “Lightning-Strike Seal.” You get one seal when you attack with normal attacks (5 seconds) and elemental abilities (10 seconds), and one if your elemental energy is below 100%. Overall, this allows for a boost of 60% more attack.
The Thundering Pulse has a base attack of 608 at level 90 and refinement level 1 and deals 66.2% more critical damage.
In addition to the Thundering Pulse, the “Rusty Bow” is also an option. At refinement level five, it is only slightly behind the Thundering Pulse. It then increases the damage dealt by normal attacks by 80% but lowers the damage from heavy blows by 10%. However, this loss is quite manageable in exchange.
If you have bad luck with critical rate on artifacts, you can equip the “Greenery Jade Bow” as help. When this bow is leveled up, it receives a bonus to critical rate. Additionally, at refinement level 1, it has a 50% chance to create a wind eye that sucks in enemies and deals them damage equal to 40% of the attack every 0.5 seconds for 4 seconds. This comes with a 14-second cooldown.
What Free-to-Play alternative is there? The “Hamayumi” bow is the best alternative for Yoimiya. The damage of her normal attacks is increased by 16%, and her heavy blow damage by 12%. Furthermore, the effect is doubled as soon as Yoimiya has 100% elemental energy. Unlike the Thundering Pulse, you need to ensure that your elemental energy is filled here.
The Hamayumi has a base attack of 454 at level 90 and refinement level 1 totaling 55.1% attack.
If you’re still at the very beginning of the game, you can rely on weapons like “Stone Sling” or “Raven Bow“.
Artifacts that benefit Yoimiya
Which artifacts give Yoimiya the most? Combined with the Thundering Pulse, the “Memorial of Shimenawa” set is perfectly suitable:
2-piece set bonus: Increases attack by 18%
4-piece set bonus: Normal attacks and dropping attacks are increased by 50% for 10 seconds if Yoimiya has 15 elemental energy points and can use them.
Since the set takes 15 elemental energy points and the Thundering Pulse activates a Lightning-Strike Seal when the elemental energy is not completely filled, these two components complement each other perfectly. Also, both effects last for 10 seconds each, so they end simultaneously. However, even without the bow, you can equip Yoimiya with this set.
As an alternative, you can also combine two artifact sets:
2-piece set bonus “Gladiator’s Encore” / Memorial of Shimenawa: Increases attack by 18%
With this, you increase Yoimiya’s attack and simultaneously the Pyro damage for her elemental or special ability. Furthermore, this serves as a safer option for the Hamayumi bow, as no elemental points are deducted by the artifact set.
Memorial of Shimenawa
Burning Pyro Witch
Gladiator’s Encore
What stats should the artifacts have? Since Yoimiya is an attacker, it is recommended that the clock has the main stat attack %. The chalice should ideally have the main stat Pyro damage %. If you have no luck with spheres, you can also go for attack %. The crown can depend on the under-stats of the artifacts with critical rate (CR) or critical damage (CD).
The artifacts should primarily include attack %, CR, and CD as under-stats. A bit of recharge rate for the elemental points of her special ability should not be missing.
Characters that harmonize with Yoimiya
Which teams does Yoimiya fit into? She can particularly benefit from characters that cast her element on enemies without them needing to be on the field.
Characters that could harmonize with Yoimiya include:
Xingqiu for his special and elemental ability, both of which remain active even when he is switched out. This way, Yoimiya often has the chance to trigger the elemental reaction “Vaporize” with her Pyro damage on the Hydro effect.
Barbara can serve as an alternative with her elemental ability and effectively heal.
Fischl can summon a raven with her abilities that continuously applies the Electro effect on enemies, even if she is not on the field.
Kazuha or Sucrose can serve as effective supporters, helping Yoimiya recharge her special ability or deal more damage.
Bennett helps further enhance Yoimiya’s attack with his special ability while healing her simultaneously.
Kaeya also possesses an elemental ability that remains when he is switched out. This can be used together with Xingqiu to freeze enemies and then apply Yoimiya with her Pyro arrows to trigger the melt reaction.
Yoimiya could function as support for Ganyu. Once Yoimiya uses her special ability and applies her flame to enemies, Ganyu can continuously trigger elemental reactions. Since Ganyu’s damage output is very high, she should be able to quickly defeat enemies to allow the flame to jump to the next foe.
Possible team suggestions:
Xingqiu
Fischl
Bennett
Sayu, for healing and additional attacks
Xingqiu
Kaeya
Zhongli, for his shield
and Qiqi for consistent healing
Fischl
Ganyu
Xingqiu
Bennett
It doesn’t hurt to pay attention to troop bonuses, such as the attack boost of 25% when two Pyro characters are on the team.
If you play Yoimiya optimally, you first use her elemental ability. At the end of its duration, you use your special ability and then switch to a teammate. This way, you can effectively continue to attack during the cooldown of her abilities. If you invest in Yoimiya, she could become the strongest single-target DPS that exists in Genshin Impact so far.
What do you think about these builds? Do you have other suggestions? Have you already been lucky enough to welcome Yoimiya into your team, or don’t you want to pull her at all? What do you think of Yoimiya? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
New information about Ultimate Team in FIFA 22 is now known. The Weekend League and Division Rivals are being completely changed. Additional innovations are coming as well.
News about Ultimate Team: The Ultimate Team mode, or “FUT,” is the largest online mode in FIFA. Players compete weekly for strong rewards, collect player cards, and aim to build the ultimate team.
This year, the main competition modes in FUT are being restructured for the FIFA 22 release. Both Division Rivals and FUT Champions with the Weekend League operate differently in FIFA 22 than they did in FIFA 21. We will show you these and other innovations here.
Weekend League with Qualification and Changed Rewards – Pitch Notes about FIFA 22
Changes in FUT Champions: “FUT Champions” is the competition in Ultimate Team that offers the best rewards. Previously, this was exclusively held on weekends in the form of the “Weekend League.” This will now change.
It will be divided into:
Champions Play-Offs
Finals
This division aims to spread the competition throughout the week. According to the Pitch Notes, this change should help make FUT Champions more accessible (via EA Sports).
The first change is that not only “victories” will count in FUT Champions, but points will be collected instead. Losses can also contribute slightly to progress.
Qualification process: To reach the Play-Offs, players must continue to collect Champions Points through Division Rivals. Once enough points are accumulated, players enter the playoffs and can decide when to play them.
The Play-Offs represent the first phase of the competition and are tied to the duration of a FUT season (usually 6 weeks). Players must complete a limited number of games. This way, they can rise in Champions Ranks and earn rewards. Rewards will be paid out at the end of the Play-Off attempt.
If a player accumulates enough points within the limited games, they receive a Finals Qualification Token. If it’s not enough, they must re-qualify for the Play-Offs through Division Rivals.
This is what the new Champions Hub in FIFA 22 looks like
This is how the Finals work: The Champions Finals will again take place on weekends, as the Weekend League used to. With the token, players can choose when to start the finals. They are expected to complete 20 matches.
Throughout a FUT season, players will have a limited number of attempts to participate in the Champions. The exact number has not been specified yet.
This is how FUT Champions rewards work – No waiting if everything is completed
This is how you get rewards: Rewards in FIFA 22 are no longer tied to the weekend itself – hence the Play-Offs. Even if a player does not reach the finals, they can still receive rewards.
With the Play-Offs, players already get the chance for initial rewards. Additionally, there is the possibility to qualify for the Finals.
In the Finals, the placement determines the further rewards. If a player completes all matches, they can claim the rewards immediately. If there are still matches remaining, rewards will be available at the end of the competition.
Division Rivals with Season Rewards and Elite Division for Professionals
Changes in Division Rivals: The Rivals competition will also be linked to the approximately six-week season model in Ultimate Team. There will be a modified ladder system in which players must climb ranks to progress and earn rewards. At the start of each season, progress will be reset to some extent, depending on which division a player ends up in.
The ladders will be divided into several stages within and between divisions, so players always have a view of their current status.
A victory brings players one step forward
Losses set players back one step – unless they are at one of several “checkpoints”
A draw results in remaining in the current position
You need to collect points in Division Rivals throughout a season
If a player wins two times in a row, it triggers a “win streak.” For each consecutive victory, they receive another step credit.
All players start in Division 10 and must work their way up. Therefore, there will be no placement matches in FIFA 22 anymore.
This is the Elite Division: After “Division 1” used to be the limit, a further level has been added above: The “Elite Division.”
This is where the absolute best players in FUT will end up and will only be evaluated based on skill rating. Players who reach this division cannot drop out of it for the duration of a season.
This is how Division Rivals rewards work
When and for what are rewards given? Rewards will still be given weekly, as long as enough victories are secured. At the end of the week, rewards will be based on the current progress. The higher one ranks, the better the rewards.
Additionally, there are seasonal milestones. There are a total of 3 milestones on the progress ladder per season. Players can also snag these if they play enough.
What else is changing? In addition to the modes, there are numerous other innovations. These include:
New co-op matchmaking. There will be an option to play FUT in friendly matches with random partners. However, you won’t use your own team but pre-made squads. This gives you a chance to test new players.
The stadium customization will be changed. For example, you will get a VIP area and new options to customize spectators and choreographies.
The main menu will be rearranged.
There are new stadium customizations in FIFA 22
There is a new player view where you can directly check the most important stats based on your player’s position at a glance.
There is a new setting where you will no longer have to watch your opponent celebrate. Instead, you can observe your own team.
The classic anime MMORPG Fiesta Online (PC) was released back in 2006 and is now receiving its biggest update yet, Realm of the Gods. It comes with a lot of content that is especially relevant for endgame players. We at MeinMMO summarize it for you.
What’s new? With the update Realm of the Gods, the biggest update of the 15-year-old game is released, bringing over 100 new quests in three completely new areas. In addition, each class and specialization gets their own new finisher.
The maximum level has also been raised from 135 to 140, accompanied by an event focusing on racing to the new maximum level. You can also experience a new story in the realms of the gods and must defend it against the minions of Pagel, the god of greed.
A sort of horde mode is also making its way into the game. In the new Corruption event, Pagel sends increasingly stronger waves of corrupted minions against you. If you manage to defeat all waves, you will have to face a corrupted boss. If successfully defeated, this boss will grant you reinforcements for your next adventures.
The bar shows how far you have progressed in the horde mode of your zone.
Furthermore, there have been adjustments in balancing, new weapons, and new armor for all classes.
The realms of the gods are corrupted
What are the new areas? The three new areas are the realms of the gods Teva, Cypian, and Apoline. You reach them via a portal on the island of Eya. Each of the three areas is divided into different zones and shares the theme of the god it belongs to.
The three new areas in the overworld that you can enter.
This is the realm of Teva: The realm of Teva, the goddess of hope, is divided into three zones. In the heavenly gardens, you will find a new large city and must discover why the monsters in the area have been afflicted by corruption. In the second zone, the holy islands, you should move cautiously as the monsters along the river are even more dangerous.
The third area in the realm of Teva is the Temple of Hopelessness, which was once a meeting place for champions and is now overrun by monsters. It is meant to be accessible only to the strongest adventurers.
This is the realm of Cypian: The god of animals surrounds himself with nature and other creatures, as animals stand above all for him. His area is divided into two zones. In the Forest of Life, there was harmony between humans and animals until corruption set in and the forest became unhealthy. You must help Cypian defend the forest and save the spirituality of the animal spirits here.
The Grove of Whispering Woods is the second zone under the sign of the animal god. It is the most important place for the animal spirits and their spirituality, and many tales surround this place, which you can now visit for the first time.
This is the realm of Apoline: Apoline is the goddess of longing and despair. She wants to explore your wishes and dreams to bring you to despair. Her realm contains only one zone, namely the “Joy of Trials” where you cannot trust what you see, because often behind a nice facade lie only thorns and poisons.
The goddess Teva and the god Pagel form the main conflict of the expansion

Since Chapter 2 Season 7, Superman is available as a secret skin. Now he can finally be unlocked in Fortnite. How to do this and what tasks and items are related to Superman can be found here.
Which skin is meant? This season also features a “secret skin”. It is the flying, indestructible Superman from the DC Universe. He is known as Clark Kent.
These are all items related to Superman
Not only can Superman be unlocked. He will also receive a number of cosmetic items, such as emotes or a glider. Here is a list of all the corresponding items:
Skin – Clark Kent
Integrated Emote – Secret Identity
Spray – Superman Emblem
Back Bling – Daily Planet
Emote – The Duty Calls
Loading Screen – Krypton’s Last Son
Pickaxe – Shard of Solitude
Glider – Kal-El’s Cape (likely only usable by Superman)
Superman Banner
Clark Kent – Shadow Style
How to earn the exclusive items
The tasks were published by the well-known leaker “HYPEX”. HYPEX has been a reliable source in the past regarding data mining, so it is likely that his leaks are correct. Keep in mind that these are leaks and the requirements may change:
Complete quest from Clark Kent, Armored Batman, or Beast Boy (1x) (3x) (5x) – The Duty Calls Sticker, Superman Shield Spray, Clark Kent Style
Glide through rings with Clark Kent (5x) – Daily Planet Back Bling
Use a telephone booth with Clark Kent (1x) – Secret Identity Emote, Superman’s Cape Back Bling
Complete Epic Quests (68x) (73x) (78x) (84x) – Superman Banner, Krypton’s Last Son Loading Screen, Shard of Solitude Pickaxe
The tasks to complete are quick and easy to master.

Page 2 of the Superman items
These are all rewards from Superman
Is there anything to consider? Basically, it is uncertain whether one only needs to complete the tasks to receive the items. It might also be the case that you first complete the tasks and then unlock Superman via Battlepass Stars.
Here, Fortnite offers us a lot of items to earn. What do you think of the whole crossover thing? Do you want to see more DC and Marvel skins in Fortnite or are you tired of them and want to see good homemade Fortnite skins again? Let us know.

An era on Twitch is coming to an end. There will probably be no more guessing about what led to a ban – the streaming platform promises clarity.
Considering that Twitch is a hub for many millions of viewers every day, it may seem strange that many practices on the streaming platform are rather nebulous. Particularly regarding the ban policy, when streamers are penalized for offenses, there has often been uncertainty. This should now come to an end, as Twitch will explain more clearly what leads to bans.
What was the problem? There are a lot of rules on Twitch that streamers must adhere to. These include rules regarding nudity, but also the avoidance of certain swear words or the showing of legally questionable content. It frequently happens that streamers violate these rules and are punished – mostly with a temporary ban. However, Twitch has never clearly communicated which content was exactly responsible for the penalty.
This led to streamers and their communities always having to guess what incident resulted in a ban. This was very opaque and often led to frustration and anger.

In the MeinMMO podcast, you can hear an analysis of why Twitch is now so important in gaming
What is Twitch changing now? On Twitter, Twitch Support announced that “starting today, we will send more information to the affected user in punishment notifications. This includes the name of the relevant content and the date of the offense, ensuring that those affected have more clarity about why actions were taken.”

This is how streamers are reacting: The initial reactions to this change seem to be quite positive. It is praised that Twitch is finally providing more information. However, there is also criticism that this step comes only after many years. Furthermore, some streamers are requesting a “review” button, so that they can have their case re-evaluated by another Twitch employee, to have a second opinion in contentious cases (via Twitter).
Thus, the era of guessing on Twitch is likely coming to an end, where many streamers repeatedly wondered why they were banned. At least the exact reason is now much easier to pinpoint.

The Viking hit Valheim has been a bit quiet lately, but the next major update is in the works. With “Hearth & Home”, many new features are coming to the survival game, and the developers now show the first trailer featuring improvements to the food system.
What is it about? Valheim is a survival game with a diverse combat system set in a Viking environment, which has been a big hit for the relatively small developer studio “Iron Gate”. Aside from smaller balance changes or graphical details, not much has happened since its release in February 2021. However, the next big step for the game in Early Access on Steam is approaching.
The first major update “Hearth & Home” is set to release by September at the latest, and now the first trailer is ready for review. The video lasts a minute and showcases the overhaul of one of the most important mechanics in the game: food. We embed the English trailer on YouTube here:

What new features can be seen? The focus is on the overhaul of the food system. The friendly voice in the trailer explains that you will soon be able to better tailor your food buffs to your needs. Your prepared food will be divided into 3 categories after the update:
Health (Red) – Primarily boosts health
Stamina (Yellow) – Primarily boosts stamina
Balanced (White) – Boosts health and stamina
So far, most food items have given you both – health and stamina. After the “Hearth & Home” update, a fork symbol on the item will indicate which value is being boosted more.
For example, the “Cooked Lox Meat” is shown, with a red fork. The hearty drumstick currently gives you 70 health and 40 stamina. After the update, you will get 50 health and 10 stamina. The hearty blood pudding is also shown – instead of 90 health and 50 stamina, the rich meal now only provides 14 health and 70 stamina.
All displayed food items have a lower value compared to before. If you add up the “buff points” of the cooked lox meat, you currently come to a value of 110, which shrinks to 60 points after the update. Whether the lower values will be balanced out by balance adjustments or whether the lower values ultimately mean a nerf to food is currently unclear.
More stamina or more health?
Food for health seems to generally last less long than stamina and balanced food. Cooked lox meat and the shown “Black Soup” last only 20 minutes, while blood pudding and beet stew last 25 minutes, and balanced food increases to 30 minutes. However, it cannot be said for sure whether this is a pattern or if the foods randomly show these matching values.
The trailer confirms new food items: Jerky and a “Black Soup”. In the video, the jerky is seen as balanced food. Boar Jerky and Wolf Jerky provide you with health and stamina in equal parts. Boar gives you 20 / 20, Wolf gives 25 / 25. However, there is still no indication of how to make the durable meat.
The black soup provides 50 health and 10 stamina – just like cooked lox meat. A good food, which probably relies on thistles for a flavorful taste.
Each of the displayed food items also has its own “healing” value, which is independent of the food’s health value. Cooked lox meat brings 50 health and heals you by 4 health per tick. The “Black Soup” also comes to 50 health, but heals only 3 health per tick.
The adjustments extend to the HUD. Instead of the long food bar to the left of your health, you now have an icon of the active food with a countdown after the update. This allows you to quickly see when you will be hungry again and which food needs to be replenished first.
We explain in the video how Valheim became such a great survival hit
Heart & Home is expected to launch in Q3
When is “Hearth & Home” coming out? Currently, the developers announced in June that “Hearth & Home” is expected to be released sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2021. So the major update should arrive by September at the latest.
What is already known about the update? The small developer studio has already shown quite a bit from the new update, but so far only images have been seen. Among other things, there are:
New building components for roofs and windows made of “Darkwood”
