In FIFA 21 continues with the EM event Festival of FUTball. We show you which players have received strong new FOF cards this time.
What kind of event is this? With the Festival of FUTball event, EA celebrates the ongoing UEFA European Championship and additional matches of the national teams. There are fresh, dynamic special cards that can become stronger throughout the tournament. Last week, the first team was released, and now, starting June 18, the second team takes its turn.
This is how the new FOF cards work: The dynamic Festival of FUTball cards can become better as long as the respective nation collects victories in international matches. Many wins mean jumps in rating, so cards with high 90 ratings are possible. Additionally, it is exciting that, besides the rating, the values for the weak foot and the Skill Moves are also improved.
This graphic from EA explains the system:
When will the new cards be available? The new FOF cards have been available since June 18 at 7:00 PM, in FUT packs.
This is what Festival of FUTball Team 2 looks like
These cards are particularly strong: The strongest cards in the new FOF Team 2 have Hazard (95), Roberto Firmino (95), and Pogba (95). However, Martinez (94), Sanchez (94), Wijnaldum (93), and Joao Felix (93) also receive extremely strong cards.
RF: Hazard (95)
ST: Roberto Firmino (95)
ZM: Pogba (95)
ST: Martinez (94)
RF: Sanchez (94)
ZM: Wijnaldum (93)
MS: Joao Felix (93)

ST: Morata (93)
RV: Paredes (92)
IV: Eder Militao (92)
LF: Rebic (91)
ZM: Nandez (90)

How does one get FOF cards? You can find the cards of the 2nd FOF team with a good portion of luck in FIFA packs or buy them on the FUT transfer market. However, prices there can be quite high.
Which Icon cards we absolutely wish for in the next FIFA title, you can find out here:
Today, June 18th, Xur arrives in Destiny 2. The mysterious vendor brought a surprising Exotic last week; what will he bring this time and where is he hiding? If you’re interested in the Trials, you can also see here what loot you are fighting for.
Let’s take a look at Xur. The mysterious vendor of course had exactly the Exotic that caused “problems” during his last visit: Old Exotic from Destiny 2 now melts the new raid boss in 4 seconds. Coincidence or as the Nine intended… what weapon does he have with him this time?
All info about Xur on June 18, 2021 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur come? Every Friday at 7:00 PM German time, Xur appears on a random planet. You can visit the vendor until the next Weekly Reset (Tuesday, June 22) and spend your hard-earned Legendary Shards.
What does Xur have for sale? Xur brings you exotic weapons and armor for all characters. But no one knows in advance which Exotics they are. MeinMMO takes a look at his inventory every week as soon as it becomes available, providing you with the most important information. That way you won’t miss a must-have purchase.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend
Xur’s location: Xur is located on Nessus. Look for him on the tree in the “Guardian’s Grave” area.
Xur’s location

3 wins and endgame bounty: Boots from the Trials Set
5 wins: Curse of Exile (Fusion Rifle)
7 wins: Chest armor from the Trials Set
Flawless: Eye of Sol in the Master version (Sniper)

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there will be a skin of Thanos from the Marvel universe. You can secure the skin for free in a tournament. We show you what you need to do.
What kind of skin is it? The Titan Thanos from the Marvel universe is making a return to Fortnite. Back in Season 4 – Chapter 1, you could become Thanos in a special mode and hunt players on the island. Now the character is coming back, but now you can equip him as a skin yourself.
Anyone who wants the skin has a chance to win it. However, you must participate in the Thanos Cup and be successful to get it before all other players.
Thanos returns to Fortnite after 12 seasons
Get the Thanos skin for free at the Thanos Cup
To earn the skin for free, you must participate in the Thanos Cup. We will show you how to join and what requirements must be met.
When does the Cup take place? The Thanos Cup, which is a duo tournament, will take place on Monday, June 21, 2021, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
You have 3 hours to play a total of 10 matches and collect as many points as possible. In the duo, you will compete against your opponents in “normal” rounds.
How to participate in the Thanos Cup
What do you need to do? Since this is a duo tournament, you first need a companion who will participate in the tournament with you. However, anyone who wants to participate in the Cup must meet these requirements:
The Fortnite account must have reached at least level 30
Important: These requirements apply to both duo partners participating together in the tournament and must be met by both.
What are the rewards?
What can be won for free? Anyone who can prove themselves in the Cup will receive a skin for free again. As mentioned above, the Thanos set is up for grabs in this Cup. The items included in the set are:
The outfit “Thanos”
The back accessory “Infinity Gauntlet”
Only players who place in the top 3,375 will receive the skin set for free and ahead of all others.
Additionally, all players who score at least 8 points in the tournament will receive the spray design “Thanos sees all”.
These prizes can be secured in the Thanos tournament
Can you also get the skin outside of the tournament? If you do not place in the top 3,375 players, you still have a chance at Thanos. The skin will be available in the item shop on Sunday, June 27 at 2:00 AM. However, the skin will only be available through the item shop then – players who want the skin will have to pay for it.
What do you think of the new skin? Will you try to get the outfit for free? Or would you rather focus on unlocking the skins from the Season 7 Battle Pass?

The Elder Scrolls Online has encountered another funny bug that turns you into a cat (or another pet). This bug delights players who are wondering “how do you do that?”. We have the answer!
What does the bug do? In a post on reddit, a user showcased an unusual character. It was indeed a cat. And no, not a humanoid Khajiit variant, but a regular house cat sitting there and nonchalantly licking its paws.
However, it appears to be a player, as the cat moves strangely and the odd, choppy sliding animations and bizarre glitches quickly make it clear that it is likely a bug.
But the ESO community wouldn’t be the ESO community if they didn’t celebrate such funny bugs and secretly consider them features. Therefore, there are numerous positive reports about the “bug” under the reddit post:
Quesothief: “This bug should be kept; it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen this week.”
DStrikeBlade: “That’s the funniest [bug] I’ve ever seen!”
DarkLordofChaos: “In the wise words of Todd Howard, ‘It just works!'”
Diverse users were so excited about the “bug” that they asked for instructions on how to replicate it. Unfortunately, there were only vague hints in the Reddit thread that it had to do with the preview feature of the Crown Store. But we at MeinMMO know more!

Here’s how the feature bug works: MeinMMO author and ESO expert MiezeMelli has already figured out how to actively use the bug. You just need to follow these steps:
Open the Crown Store
Go to the Crown Chests
There you can see previews of the individual rewards
First, show any weapon
Then switch to a pet that you display in the preview
Then exit the Crown Store menu and you can glitch as this pet in the world

Bugs are of course not unusual in huge projects like The Elder Scrolls Online. Through constant updates and adjustments, the game is constantly being expanded, and errors slip in as well. On the other hand, these updates are the reasons why, according to lead developer Matt Firor, there will probably never be a second part of The Elder Scrolls.

In general, the numbers of pentakills per game here are significantly higher. Clearly, everyone fights on one lane – the chance to kill 5 people within the time frame is greater. Additionally, players often use different builds in ARAM compared to ranked games.
But already with the next patch, everything could change. In the new update 11.13, Riot Games plans important changes to items and champions. Will it have so much impact that the update improves the ranking of the best pentakill champions? Quite possible.
Which champion do you think was the big pentakill winner in patch 11.11 at League of Legends (LoL)?
Where does the info come from? The team at Riot Games regularly talks about fun facts and hidden data around their MOBA League of Legends. In the “Ask Riot” format, the team recently also discussed the champions that stood out with their pentakills over the past weeks. We learn more about
the 3 champions with the most pentakills in ranked
champions that did not get any pentakills in ranked
ARAM, where everything is a little “more”
What is a pentakill? A pentakill is achieved when you eliminate the opposing team (or 5 players) alone within a short time limit. To get a pentakill, you need to secure 5 killing blows.
The most pentakills in ranked (patch 11.11)
This was explained: The Insight Analyst from Riot Games, kyrieFH, explains (via Leagueoflegends.com): Looking at the data from solo and duo ranked games in patch 11.11,
Samira has the most pentakills
followed by Master Yi
and Katarina
Per game played in LoL, Samira statistically achieves 0.018 pentakills, Master Yi also achieves 0.018 pentakills per game, and Katarina reaches 0.015 pentakills per game according to statistics.
These are the losers: Without surprise, Riot presents the losers from the data mentioned above and advises against playing tanks or supporters when you want pentakills. The following champions had 0 pentakills in patch 11.11 in ranked games in solo and duo queue:
Soraka
Braum
Rell
Taric
Didn’t get a penta in ranked? No problem, every champion gets one in ARAM.
The winners in ARAM: As Riot Games explains, every champion achieved a pentakill in patch 11.11 in ARAM games. Even Braum. However, Master Yi pushes Samira from the first place here.
In general, the numbers of pentakills per game here are significantly higher. Clearly, everyone fights on one lane – the chance to kill 5 people within the time frame is greater. Additionally, players often use different builds in ARAM compared to ranked games.
But already with the next patch, everything could change. In the new update 11.13, Riot Games plans important changes to items and champions. Will it have so much impact that the update improves the ranking of the best pentakill champions? Quite possible.
Thanks to the commitment of many Destiny fans, there will actually soon be an official toaster in Destiny design. How this curious device came about and how to get the toaster can be found here on MeinMMO!
How did the toaster come about? In June 2020, donations were collected for a good cause during the Gaming Community Expo. Bungie promised that if at least $777,777.77 were raised, they would build and offer a dedicated Destiny-themed toaster.
What else is there about toasters in Destiny? Why did Bungie choose a toaster? This is probably due to a popular weapon from the game, the Jötunn. This weapon, which is particularly feared in PvP, actually looks like a death toaster. Therefore, toaster jokes are popular in the Destiny community.

What can the toaster do? First of all, the toaster actually looks a bit like the Jötunn, including the hand symbol on the side. Otherwise, the toaster can do one thing mainly: toast bread! As a special feature, the toaster burns the characteristic Destiny icon onto every piece of toast.
In addition to the toaster, you will receive a practical sandwich holder that also bears the toaster’s logo.
The toaster has a maximum power output of 700 watts and has a type F Schuko plug in Europe. You will also receive an exclusive ingame emblem in the shape of a toast.
When will the toaster be released? According to the Bungie Store, the toaster is expected to be released between December 2021 and January 2022. It can also be pre-ordered in Europe and delivered at the specified time.
How much does the toaster cost? Those who absolutely want the Destiny toaster will have to dig deep into their pockets. The device costs 87.99 euros.
As cool as the idea of a Destiny toaster is, the content for the game itself looks problematic. There is currently not much going on and this is noticeable for the upcoming season. Season 15 could become a real chore due to the anticipated content drought.

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, you must choose a class and a race during character creation. This can be difficult at first, as each race has certain bonuses. We provide you with an overview of which race is best suited for your plans.
Why is the race so important? In ESO, you gain 4 passive skills through your racial skill. You can unlock and improve 3 of these skills. Depending on what you want to do in the game with your character, a race can be more or less useful.
We from MeinMMO will therefore take a look at the different races and give you suitable tips.
[toc]
What races are there in Elder Scrolls Online?
You can choose between 10 races. Without a specific feature, the race is tied to a specific alliance in PvP (Cyrodiil). If you want to choose your race independently of the alliance, you need the “Away from Home” feature. You can purchase it for 2000 crowns in the crown store (via ESO).
These are the 10 races in ESO:
Nord
Argonian
Dark Elf (Dunmer)
Khajiit
Wood Elf (Bosmer)
High Elf (Altmer)
Orc (Orsimer)
Redguard
Breton
Imperial
Which race is suitable for which class?
It is a common misconception that there is a best race for each class. The class is independent of the race and the role (tank, DD, healer) you want to play. Instead, you should choose the race according to your role.
As a Magicka DD, for example, you might choose a Khajiit, Dark Elf, or High Elf. Whether you turn that character into a Nightblade, Dragonknight, Necromancer, Templar, Warden, or Sorcerer DD is quite irrelevant. Of course, sometimes one class is stronger than another, but that changes from patch to patch.
Depending on which role you want to play, it makes sense to choose the race that gives you the most advantages. Of course, you can also choose the race freely and independently of your playstyle. However, you should be aware that you cannot maximize your potential.
The racial passives at a glance
First of all, I recommend not to pay too much attention to the first passive ability of the races. Each race has an increased experience gain with a type of armor or weapon. However, this is only noticeable until your character reaches level 50 in that skill line.
And you’ll notice that it goes faster than you might think. Even when your character reaches level 50, there are still 3600 champion points waiting for you. Therefore, the playtime below level 50 is negligibly short. Here you can learn more about the champion point system.

The Ultimate Compendium for ESO Blackwood
148 pages of guides for new and returning players, including a free extra: ESO main game, Morrowind, and a 25% discount on Blackwood at Gamesplanet.
This race is currently probably the best choice as a tank. Its passive racial abilities give it increased maximum health and maximum stamina. Moreover, the resistances it gains are important for a tank. Through the passive skill Stalwart, the Nord also gains ultimate power when it takes damage.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Nord.
The Argonian
The Argonian was the first choice for a tank before the rework of the Nord. It remains a good choice. With its last passive skill, it is also a popular race in PvP. But even in PvE, this property can save your life once in a while. The skill Life Giver increases healing done, making a tank more resilient when the healer is not so reliable.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Argonian.
The Imperial
The race of the Imperials is independent of the 3 alliances. However, you need the DLC Imperial City to select it. But since you now get this DLC for free, there are no barriers. Here you can learn more.
As an Imperial, you gain a bonus to your maximum stamina, as well as your maximum health. Additionally, you have a general reduction in the cost of your abilities. Resource management as a tank can be a bit tricky, and the reduced costs could make it easier for you to get started.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Imperial.
Which race is suitable for a Magicka DD?
The Khajiit
The cat race has also been playable as a Magicka DD since the race rework and is currently even the strongest choice by a narrow margin. The skill “Feline Ambush” makes the Khajiit a strong choice right now as it increases your critical damage. You can also play it as a stamina DD.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Khajiit.
The Dark Elf (Dunmer)
The Dark Elves can be played as either Magicka or stamina DD. Currently, they sit just behind the Khajiit and offer you other advantages. The Dark Elf has a natural flame resistance, which can save your life in case of doubt and makes you more resilient to fire damage.
In addition, you receive bonuses to magic and weapon power as well as to your maximum stamina and Magicka. The Dunmer is therefore a good all-rounder.
The High Elf (Altmer)
The High Elves are born mages. The passive racial skills give you a bonus to your maximum Magicka and increase your magic and weapon power.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Altmer.
The Breton
The Bretons are suitable for both a Magicka DD and a healer. They are not the race with the highest damage potential, but they have very good sustain (good resource management). With the latest passive skill, you receive a reduction in the cost of your (Magicka) abilities. Additionally, you gain extra maximum Magicka and Magicka regeneration.
So your resources won’t run out so quickly.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Breton.
Which race is suitable for a stamina DD?
The Khajiit
The cat race is not only a good Magicka DD but also strong for a stamina DD. The skill “Feline Ambush” currently makes the Khajiit a strong choice as it increases your critical damage. And you’ll definitely need that for a stamina DD.
The Dark Elf (Dunmer)
Here I can only repeat myself: The Dark Elves can be played as either Magicka or stamina DD. They currently sit just behind the Khajiit and offer you other advantages.
The Dark Elf has natural flame resistance. This can save your life in case of doubt and makes you more resistant to fire damage. In addition, you receive bonuses to magic and weapon power as well as to your maximum stamina and Magicka. The Dunmer is therefore a good all-rounder.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Dunmer.
The Orc (Orsimer)
The Orc is well suited for a stamina DD. Its racial bonuses give it increased maximum stamina and increased magic and weapon power. Additionally, you heal yourself when you deal damage. This makes it a DD with resilience. As a Magicka DD, it is rather less suitable despite the bonus to magic power.
Due to its increased movement speed, it is popular in PvP. With the right class choice and certain sets, you can develop it into a super fast character.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Orc.
The Redguard
The Redguard is a sustain machine. Similar to the Breton as a Magicka DD, it doesn’t run out of stamina quickly. The costs of weapon skills are reduced and you have a chance to restore stamina when you deal damage. Additionally, there is a bonus to maximum stamina. It is no longer the strongest choice, but you won’t have to worry about resources.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Redguard.
The Wood Elf (Bosmer)
The Wood Elf receives bonuses to stamina regeneration and maximum stamina. In PvE, it is not the strongest choice, though. You see it more in PvP because regeneration is particularly important there.
Here is what it looks like when you check the passive skills of your Bosmer.
If you are interested in more about ESO, you might also be interested in this:
Due to the reduction in Magicka costs of abilities and the bonuses to maximum Magicka and Magicka regeneration, the Breton is wonderfully suited as a healer. You will notice that healing is a very resource-intensive role. So you need to pay very close attention to your resource management. The Breton makes it easier for you.
The Argonian
The skill Life Giver increases healing done, which is ideal for a healer. Additionally, you have a bonus to your maximum Magicka and maximum health. The restoration of all three resources when you drink a potion is also a good support.
The High Elf (Altmer)
The High Elf is not necessarily the first choice for a healer. However, if you also want to deal a little damage alongside (as off-heal), then this race is a good choice. You have a bonus to your maximum Magicka, which benefits both a DD and a healer. And the bonus to your magic power helps you deal a little damage on the side. The Magicka recovery also restores resources. You always need that as a healer.
Call of Duty: Warzone has brought a few new mechanics into the game with the launch of Season 4 – including satellite loot. Through the crashing technology, you can acquire powerful items like armored trucks. However, the motorized beasts were so broken that they were removed again.
What’s going on in Warzone? The new Season 4 has begun. On Thursday, June 17th, a new content cycle started, and the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone benefited from a handful of innovations that expanded the gameplay:
The crash event has a significantly high impact on the current gameplay in Warzone. Via uplink stations, you can acquire satellites from orbit to loot and collect extremely powerful items. This includes a free loadout drop, the H.A.R.P. killstreak for perfect reconnaissance, or heavy armored trucks.
However, the trucks went a bit overboard and were removed from Warzone in less than 24 hours.
Armored trucks trigger players and an old glitch
What can the armored trucks do? You acquire the trucks similarly to a loadout crate. You mark your position with a smoke signal, and a big aircraft delivers the armored vehicle to you via air. The base model is comparable to the usual “Berthas,” as the trucks are called by the community. However, the armored trucks have a machine gun on the driver’s roof that a player can occupy.
Thus, the armored trucks are already strong without upgrades, but that’s not all. At the rear section of the vehicle, you will find an upgrade console. Here, you can enhance the truck with a permanent recon drone or armor plates. You can even attach a built-in trophy system to the armored truck for cash.
Moreover, the trucks offer supplies. Through the console, you can purchase crates with armor plates or ammunition. Even repairing the truck is possible via the upgrade console. We are including a short clip where you can examine the upgrade console and the truck’s machine gun:

So OP and removed? The armored trucks were part of the normal “battle royale” mode and really extremely strong. Even without upgrades, the trucks allow strong strategies – with built-in weapons, a persistent drone, and extra armor, the vehicles are simply overwhelming.
However, that wasn’t the reason for the trucks’ removal. Developer Raven explained 14 hours after the introduction that the trucks would be temporarily removed from players due to an invisibility glitch:
The link in the tweet leads to a Trello board. Here, the developers note and show which bugs they are currently working on. Under the point regarding invisible players, the developers write: “The armored trucks were removed to avoid the problem. We continue our investigations to find a permanent solution.”
Invisibility glitch makes weaponized vehicles broken: Currently, it is rather unlikely that the trucks will return to the game until the end of the satellite event. The event runs until next Thursday, June 24th.
Because the attack helicopters are struggling with a similar problem. The armed version of the normal helicopters should actually have been in the game since the launch of the first combined season of Warzone and Cold War in December 2020. However, due to the invisibility glitch, the helicopters have not yet made it into the game – a second introduction attempt failed miserably.
What do players say about the trucks? Initial backlash has subsided since the trucks were removed from the game again. However, shortly after the first insane videos showcasing gameplay of the armored trucks in Warzone appeared, some players were already furious:
@M_M252J on Twitter: “Nobody wants weaponized vehicles… Stop trying to make it happen.”
@McQrow on Twitter: “Players: At least they reduced the Bertha spawns / CoD: so… let’s bring in an armored truck! lol”
For many players, the armored trucks seem too strong, and such a vehicle has no place in the normal “battle royale” mode. Some will likely be pleased that the glitch led to the trucks’ disappearance.
Season 4 has brought many innovations to Warzone and thereby allows new tactics to help with victory. However, due to the strong Season 3, where the weapon meta was as good as never before in Warzone, it sometimes feels like a setback. Because even the new LMG MG 82 is OP and many players logically want to benefit from the advantages of the new weapon.
If the developers remain committed to their open and thoughtful approach from Season 3, adjustments should follow shortly. However, with the introduction of the armored truck, they did themselves no favors. Even though it was really fun when you were behind the wheel of a souped-up truck.
Feel free to share your opinion about the armored trucks with us in the comments on MeinMMO.

With Bless Unleashed, the next MMORPG has announced its release for summer. It will be available in early August for PC and aims to attract fans of action-packed combat systems, world boss fights, and PvP.
Originally, the release was planned for spring 2021. However, the controls and the UI needed significant adjustments to work better on PC. The MMORPG was already released in 2020 on PlayStation and Xbox and has now been adapted for PC.
Why is it the “next PC MMORPG”? Several new MMORPGs have already announced their release for summer 2021:
Swords of Legends Online does not have a fixed release date but is expected to be available “in summer 2021”
Action-Packed Fights and Huge World Bosses
What type of MMORPG is this? Bless Unleashed is a free-to-play MMORPG that places a strong emphasis on its action-driven combat system. Attacks and combos are triggered by pressing the right and left mouse buttons. Additionally, there are several skills and a dodge roll to enhance the dynamics.
The game describes itself as a theme park MMORPG, and it follows a linear story told through relatively monotonous quests. Bless Unleashed offers you 5 different classes to dive into the adventure.
You can get a first glimpse of the MMORPG in the video by TheLazyPeon:

Which class in Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis (PC, Xbox One, Xbox X) best suits which taste and playstyle? Which classes are available in the MMORPG at launch? Learn more about the individual classes in our MeinMMO PSO2 New Genesis class guide for 2021.
The question of which class to play first occupies many online role players at the start of every MMORPG, and Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is no exception.
We have listed all six classes here and will examine their respective gameplay mechanics in more detail.
An Overview of the Six Classes of PSO2: New Genesis
What classes are there? The six classes in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis differ between ranged and melee fighters, as well as a supporter class. Each class has corresponding armor that emphasizes their respective class attributes. The races, by the way, have no impact on your character selection.
Can I change my class? A special aspect of the MMORPG is that it does not prescribe a fixed class. So once you feel it’s time for something new, visit the class NPC in Central City. There you can easily choose a new class of your choice without much hassle. You can change your class anytime and as often as you like.
Can I also combine classes? The Phantasy Star Online series is known for allowing players to experience different playstyles with their characters.
Rather, the roles are fluid, and as mentioned above, you can also add one of the predefined six heroes as a subclass. For example, you can start as a Ranger for ranged attacks, then switch to melee using the Fighter subclass and deal heavy blows to the enemy with your fists.
However, we will not delve into the subclass system of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis at this moment. The focus of this guide is on introducing the main classes in the game.
The vast world of PSO2: NG is rich in dangerous enemies looking to take your life.
The Melee Classes in PSO2: New Genesis
What melee fighters are there? The Hunter and Fighter are suited as melee fighters, attacking either with swords and pole weapons or using dual daggers, fist weapons, and dual swords.
The Hunter – Perfect Class for Beginners
What can the Hunter do? With the Hunter, you play the simplest class that easily guides you through the MMORPG without falling behind other classes in significant ways. The Hunter class offers a convincing performance in terms of playability, mobility, and damage, making it difficult for you to find a better class later on.
Hunters are melee fighters specializing in swords, partisans, and wired lances.
Swords have a slow but strong attack and the ability to charge stronger attacks.
Partisans are slightly faster and offer some utilities during combat.
Lances take some getting used to, but focus on area damage and many grab attacks.
What is the advantage of the Hunter? They are easy to learn and provide a lot of fun while not lagging behind the other classes at all.
What disadvantages do you have to accept? Unfortunately, the class is not as agile as others, but it is better armored.
The Fighter – Mobile Damage and Spectacular Combos
What distinguishes the Fighter from the Hunter? Fighters play more or less like Hunters, but they are faster and master devastating attacks. They take less damage but move nimbly and can evade better. Hunters rely on dual daggers, dual swords, and their fists in combat.
Each weapon plays completely differently, but is equally efficient in its own way.
With dual daggers, you are mostly airborne and attack the enemy with brutal combos. These are difficult to execute, and you need good reflexes for them.
Fist fighting is literally very down-to-earth, and you use fewer combos to attack – instead, you land heavy hits against your opponent. Your range is low, but you can effectively parry hits.
Dual swords play like a mix of fist fighting and dual daggers, but combos are not as hard to execute here.
Advantages of the Fighter: He is agile and has strong attacks. He is very effective in aerial combat.
Disadvantages: The class has weaker armor, and you need to avoid strong attacks.
PSO2: NG is most enjoyable with other players together.
Ranged Combat in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis
What ranged classes are there? PSO2 NG offers you four ranged fighters with the Ranger, Gunner, Force, and Techter, although one of them relies on close combat.
The Ranger – High Damage at Long Range
How does the Ranger play? If you want to stay at a distance from your enemies and kill them from afar, the Ranger is just right for you. You can either use rifles or rocket launchers to deal extreme damage from a safe distance.
Rifles are suitable due to their uncomplicated use, and with different ammunition types, you can cause different damage to the enemy.
Rocket launchers are perfect when your enemies are right in front of you. With large area attacks, you deal remarkable damage and can hinder your enemies with various effects, such as slowing them down.
Advantages of the Ranger: He is deadly at long distance and perfect for keeping enemies off your teammates.
Disadvantages: Once enemies come close to you, you are vulnerable and don’t withstand much damage.
The Gunner – Not for Beginners, but Loads of Fun
Why is the Gunner hard to play? The Gunner class is initially somewhat difficult to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a blast. Gunners primarily rely on a very fast play style and behave more like melee fighters than ranged ones. This is mainly due to their weapons, where you can choose between dual machine guns or assault rifles.
The machine guns allow for an extremely mobile combat style, and you will quickly find yourself hopping around the battlefield. The optimal distance for the Gunner is indeed close to the enemy. Once you master the mechanics, you will love it – guaranteed.
With assault rifles, on the other hand, you can keep a large distance from your enemies at all times and support your teammates with various abilities and ammunition types – a certain similarity to the Ranger is evident.
Advantage of the Gunner: He plays incredibly dynamically and entertainingly while you dash across the battlefield.
Disadvantage: The playstyle is not very easy to learn.
The Force – Strong Area Attacks Devastate the Battlefield
What is the Force? Typical for PSO2 are some magic-like classes. Force is the class for players who enjoy using techs. Techs are the PSO2 equivalent to spells.
A Force player has to maintain a safe distance from enemies at all times while casting powerful tech attacks. The Force classes rely on all sorts of elemental techs and use wands and talismans.
Both weapons work quite similarly here, although the talisman uses slightly more mobile techs and does not deal as much damage.
Advantages: It deals high damage on the battlefield.
Disadvantage: You must always keep your distance from your enemies.
The YouTuber TayRecX has an interesting Let’s Play of PSO2: New Genesis for you here.

The Techter – Supports Teammates but Also Deals Good Damage
What does the Techter offer? The Techter is the actual support class in PSO2 New Genesis. Your main task is to assist the rest of the team – but don’t think that you can’t defend yourself. Techters rely on a variety of weapon abilities and techs that can deal significant damage. However, not quite as much as a Force fighter.
Techters also use wands and talismans, and both weapons have their individual play styles.
Talismans allow for a more mobile playstyle but deal less damage.
The wands, on the other hand, are used as melee weapons that hit opponents while also utilizing some techs.
Advantages of the Techter: Supports groups and also deals damage to opponents.
Disadvantages: Damage is not comparable to the Force class.
It’s no secret that the current weather conditions in Pokémon GO play a significant role. However, soon the game is expected to look even more realistic. We have looked into how this will be achieved for you.
What is planned? Players of Pokémon GO know that the game is closely intertwined with the current local weather. For instance, certain Pokémon only spawn under specific weather conditions, like rain, or occur more frequently then. To visually convey this to trainers, the sky in the game adapts to the local weather conditions.
Players can see, among other things, clouds in the sky or a starry night sky in Pokémon GO. As Niantic has announced, there are a few new features planned for late summer (via pokemongolive.com). In this context, the local lighting and weather conditions are to be recreated in real-time using a new game mechanic.
What could the new weather feature look like?
Back in 2017, Niantic announced future improvements to the weather representation in the game. In this context, their graphic designer Dennis Hwang presented the company’s visions during the Game Developers Conference. The following YouTube video may provide insight into what trainers can expect with the current changes in the game.

As you can see in the video, it has long been Niantic’s wish to integrate a more realistic sky into Pokémon GO. Thus, the sunset in the game could look even more realistic than before. But also other weather conditions are expected to be better adapted to the real world in the game.
So far, there are unfortunately no confirmed reports on how the new real-time sky will look. However, this feature is currently being tested by select players. We will keep you updated on this topic and inform you when there are first images available.
Are there any other new features in Pokémon GO? In addition to the changes in the sky, Niantic announced that there will also be changes related to the Pokédex. New Pokédex classifications are to be introduced. Currently, however, no further details are known.
If you are more interested in Pokémon GOyou might also find this appealing:

The next raid of World of Warcraft has a release date. We reveal when it goes into the Sanctum of Domination in Patch 9.1.
Even thoughPatch 9.1 of WoW: Shadowlands has a lot of new content, many players are especially looking forward to one thing: the new raid Sanctum of Domination. However, the raid will not be available immediately at the start of the patch on June 30. We will tell you when the raid opens its doors in all difficulties and what you can look forward to.
When does the Sanctum of Domination open? This varies depending on the difficulty level. The following dates should be kept in mind:
July 7: the “normal” and “heroic” difficulty levels open
July 14: the “mythic” difficulty level opens, as well as LFR Wing 1
July 28: LFR Wing 2 opens
August 11: LFR Wing 3 opens
August 25: LFR Wing 4 opens
Anyone who wants to see the last boss only in LFR will have to wait until the end of August.
Sylvanas is the last boss in the Sanctum of Domination.
What bosses are there? There are a total of 10 bosses waiting in the Sanctum of Domination and some of them are well-known names that long-time Warcraft fans may already know. The following bosses are present:
The Tarragrue – The monster that has executed failing players in Torghast so far.
The Eye of the Jailer – The annoying eye that throws you out of the Maw every day.
The Nine – The nine Val’kyr of Sylvanas, including those already deceased.
Remnant of Ner’zhul – What is left of the first Lich King after years of torture.
Soulrender Dormazain – One of the most brutal servants of the Jailer who has broken every soul so far.
Torment Smith Raznal – This is the guy who built all the traps in Torghast, where you’ve probably died a few times.
First Guardian – A mysterious guardian who watches over the “Cipher” that contains knowledge about the mysterious creators.
Fate Scribe Roh-Kalo – A fate scribe. Enslaved by the Jailer, he is now trying to rewrite the fate of the Shadowlands.
Kel’Thuzad – The lich-to-be fights once again against the mortal heroes of Azeroth to kill them – this time for real. It will surely work.
Sylvanas Windrunner – The final fight against the banshee queen, while the Jailer implements his master plan. How will this end?

Is there particularly cool loot? Yes, quite a bit. The raid has some very special items with special effects that different classes are keen on. Two of them can be found with Sylvanas Windrunner, the final fight in the Sanctum of Domination:
Microsoft is working on a major update for Windows 10 and some leaks about Windows 11 have already revealed details. Now, Linus Tech Tips has tried out a Windows 11 ISO and even played on it.
After some discussions about whether Windows 10 will get a successor, there is now a leaked version of Windows 11. So what does the new system look like and what has changed?
To find out, tech YouTuber Linus from Linus Tech Tips has organized an installation file (ISO image) of Windows 11 and installed it on his computer.
The installation itself is quite complicated, as there are some pitfalls built in to make the installation of the leaked version as difficult as possible.
Linus eventually manages to install Windows 11. We present you with the first impressions and also explain why you should not replicate this.
Linus’ first impression of Windows 11 – “Very quirky, but very cool.”
What does Windows 11 look like? After the installation, Linus gets a first look at the new Windows. And his first impressions are surprising and amusing:
The Start menu is no longer entirely left but arranged in the middle, making it “more like Macintosh.”.
The Windows Explorer has new icons, but the overall layout and design remain the same.
The presented version offers the integration of various widgets. Here, one feels reminded of Windows 7 and its widgets.
A better “speech-to-text” experience and also the camera management of Windows has improved.
If Linus wants to open an app multiple times, he has to right-click the icon in the taskbar. A click with the middle mouse button no longer works.
Windows 11 also integrates a new touch keyboard with gifs and other fun images.
Can you play with Windows 11? Linus has powerful hardware for gaming with a Ryzen 9 3900X, an RTX 2080 Ti, and 20 GB of RAM.
In his experiment, he tests Counterstrike and Red Dead Redemption 2. Both games run smoothly, and an increased Hz rate can be adjusted easily through Windows.
You can actually watch the entire video from Linus Tech Tips on YouTube. We embedded the video here for you:

You should not download and use a Windows 11 ISO yet
Linus explains at the end of the video that he advises people against downloading and installing a Windows 11 ISO.
That’s why you shouldn’t replicate this: Since the installation medium does not come from an official source, you cannot be sure who the medium really comes from and what is actually inside. An infected image could cause you more problems than joy.
Moreover, the installation is anything but simple. Microsoft has tightened many screws to prevent an easy installation.
Only in a virtual machine was Linus able to install Windows 11 without issues. Many users are likely to give up in frustration after a short time.
If you want to protect yourself against malicious software on Windows 10, then we have a tip for you:
On Steam, the new battle royale game Naraka: Bladepoint is a big success. About 160,000 players were online at the same time, battling as Asian fighters through wild skirmishes. But what is Naraka: Bladepoint really, and what makes it so good?
What is the situation on Steam? The recently launched demo of Naraka: Bladepoint has caused a stir. So it happened that just 48 hours after launch, a new record for concurrent players was set. over 160,000 players were playing at the same time. The previous record was just under 100,000 players who were online during the first demo in April 2021.
The demo runs until June 22, 2021, so there is a whole weekend ahead where even more players can take on the game and possibly drive the numbers higher.
Naraka: Bladepoint – Battle Royale with Ninjas, Swords, and Parkour
What is Naraka Bladepoint? This game is another battle royale, where this time ‘only’ 60 players fight until only one remains. Nothing new there. But Naraka: Bladepoint offers a few unique features that have not been seen or are rare in the genre:
7 unique classes, including swordsmen, archers, and ninjas
Complex character editor to create your own hero
Strong focus on melee combat with combos and counters
Especially the grappling hook that every player can have serves as a universal tool for movement, attack, and defense. You can swing around, reach hard-to-access places, and launch surprise attacks from there. On the flip side, you can also make a good escape with it when the opponent is pressing you too hard.
All of this is well-received by players, and despite some complaints about lag, the success of the demo on Steam shows that Naraka: Bladepoint hits exactly the nerve of the community. With its new ideas and unusual melee gameplay, the game stands out from the large pool of BR games.
When is Naraka Bladepoint released? The release of the game is on August 12, 2021. However, the game is not free to play. Rather, it will cost between 19.99 and 50.99 Euros, depending on which version you want.

Bless Unleashed utilizes an action-packed combat system and promises exciting boss fights and open-PvP in the endgame. At launch, you have the choice of 5 different classes, some of which are tied to gender locks.

Who is it interesting for? Bless Unleashed is intended for fans of action MMORPGs who have no problem with open-world PvP. It plays indeed better than Bless Online and especially fighting is a lot of fun.
However, the very monotonous quests and the grind, which already takes on large proportions in the mid-game, are negatives. Additionally, the graphics, which looked fantastic in the first trailers, are significantly weaker in the game itself.
A first experience report on Bless Unleashed from 2020 can be found here: How the new MMORPG Bless Unleashed plays on PC. The mentioned points are still up to date, except for navigation with the mouse. This has been improved a bit in recent tests.

Call of Duty: Warzone has done it again! A new weapon from the Battle Pass is clearly too powerful and has been rampaging across the battlefields since the start of Season 4: the MG 82. MeinMMO shows you what’s OP about this gun, which setup is strong, and why you should pay more attention to ground loot.
Update June 23:The MG 82 has been nerfed. It remains to be seen where the new LMG stands after the weakening, but damage and recoil have suffered.
The new light machine gun MG 82 came into play with the start of Season 4 and initially made no extraordinary impression. But those who fought through Verdansk on the first day of the new season and had the weapon as ground loot in hand knew right away that something was off with it. Well, actually, almost everything is right about the weapon, and that is the problem.
The MG 82 has very strong damage, high control, good handling, and sensational bullet velocity. Especially leveled up, meaning with all the important attachments, the new MG 82 is an OP weapon. MeinMMO shows you how strong the weapon is and which setup deals the most damage.
CoD Warzone: MG 82 with OP setup surpasses the competition
What does a strong setup for the MG 82 look like? The new LMG is already very strong even as a base variant. At the start of Season 4, the MG 82 is generously scattered across the map as ground loot and is a strong weapon for the start of a match. However, with attachments, you can further enhance the strengths of the weapons:
CoD Warzone: MG 82 setup for the season start
Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 16.4″ Task Force
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Stock: No Stock
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
With the suppressor and barrel, you increase your bullet velocity to a level that allows for very easy hits. Even distant and mobile targets are easy to hit, giving the MG 82 a crucial advantage. Moreover, even the standard magazine has 100 rounds.
In addition, there is the high damage. As an LMG, the MG 82 has what is called an “Open Bolt Delay” – it takes about 50 milliseconds after pulling the trigger for the weapon to fire, yet the LMG achieves a time-to-kill (TTK) of around 500 milliseconds. Without the “delay”, the TTK is exactly 450 milliseconds (via truegamedata.com). And this, even though the developers actually want to generally increase the TTK. Even the CR-56 AMAX could not keep up before the nerf of Season 4.
The Field Agent Grip leads to strong control and the recoil of the MG 82 primarily goes straight up and is therefore very easy to control. With the attachment “No Stock”, you get a boost to the “Sprint-to-Fire Time”. With the stock, it depends somewhat on your preferences. If you prefer faster movements while aiming, the Looter’s or SAS Combat Stock is better suited.
A Twitter clip from the Warzone news account “ModernWarzone” impressively shows how strong the weapon is with this setup:

Does the MG 82 have any weaknesses? Even though the strengths of the weapon are outstanding, the MG 82 remains an LMG and therefore falls below average in some stats. Due to the large magazine, the reload speed is low, and the aim-down-sights speed (ADS speed) is also rather mediocre. The important mobility leaves much to be desired. Additionally, the “Open Bolt Delay” increases the time-to-kill slightly.
This hinders the weapon only in close combat. As an all-round rifle for long-range combat, no automatic weapon can currently surpass the MG 82, and initial calls for a nerf are already being heard. The people behind “ModernWarzone” see it similarly – the saved setup of the MG 82 is called “BROKEN” by them.
In Warzone, recoil is a very important stat, and a stable weapon with good damage and a large magazine will always be among the top weapons. The MG 82 offers you that currently, and you should definitely unlock the weapon and add it to your loadout. Here you can find some tips for leveling up weapons quickly in Warzone.
The weapon meta of Warzone was in very good shape before the start of Season 4, and the developers in Season 3 showed that a fun meta with many different, usable weapons is important to them. A nerf of the MG 82 is likely just a matter of time. Get the MG 82 now before it disappears into mediocrity like most LMGs.

An update in Pokémon GO triggered many light flashes and was thus a problem for some epileptic players. Niantic responded with a new update, but the latest version is even worse.
What is new? For some hours now, trainers can download update 0.211.2 for Pokémon GO. This is the successor version of update 0.211.1, which caused several issues:
Lags interrupted the catching
Phones overheated while playing
Lucky Pokémon were not displayed correctly
In addition, it was noted that light flashes were regularly seen when entering a Pokémon encounter in the last update. Trainers warned that the update could trigger seizures.
Niantic responded, but “now it is worse”
This is how Niantic responded: The community brought much attention to the issue with the triggers for seizures. Threads on reddit, Twitter, and Facebook directly addressed the developers. The Niantic team explained, “A recent change in the game has altered the transition time between screens. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and expect to release an app update that fixes this problem later this week” (via reddit.com).
This is now new: Just a few hours after the statement, the latest version of Pokémon GO, 0.211.2, could be downloaded. Trainers tested it and have bad news:
“Do not update! Version .2 has more flashes than before!” (via reddit.com)
“The new update is even worse than the last one” (via reddit.com)
“Version 0.211.2 is out, but the lags have not been fixed yet” (via reddit.com)
Player DefyEverything explains that he updated his game immediately as soon as he saw the update in the Play Store (via reddit.com). He hoped that the new version would solve the problem with the white light flashes. But the update made the flashes worse. “Now there is a white flash when you start a Pokémon encounter AND when you exit the encounter. […]”
Others write that the flashes now also appear when leaving an encounter, but they slowly fade away instead of just flashing briefly. However, this is exactly a problem for players who want to use the catching trick.
User tyranterrv writes (via reddit.com): “[…] I’m not sure what they are planning, but this is a terrible change.”
The player DonutDaniel explains that the new update is worse than the last version (via reddit.com):
“Another Pokémon GO update has appeared in the App Store, and if you do not like the white light after clicking on a Pokémon… you will now get your money’s worth. Not only is this flashing still there, but there is also the same flash when you run away from a Pokémon. It gets even better when you try to catch a Pokémon quickly, because the flash appears twice after you have run away.”
What do the players recommend? In general, it is recommended to stay on version 0.209.x or to download this version again and play with it. Because there were fewer severe issues.
Which version are you currently playing Pokémon GO? Are you still on the 209 version or have you updated and can report how “bad” the new update is for you personally?
In the coming weeks, several events are supposed to start in the game. We have summarized them clearly for you: All events in June 2021 in Pokémon GO.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The upcoming Season 15 could put the Guardians’ nerves to a real test in Destiny 2 . If Bungie doesn’t come up with an alternative solution, the new season could last up to 8 months.
Here’s what we can expect in Destiny 2 until the next expansion: Currently, Season 14 of Destiny 2 is in full swing. It runs until August 24, after which Season 15 will likely be the 4th and final season in Year 4 of Destiny 2 before Year 5 begins with the next major expansion “Witch Queen.” This is at least the current, official status and sounds like a well-thought-out plan.
However, this is making some Guardians uneasy, as some players are already looking ahead to the next season with concern. Why?
Tedious waiting, bonus season or something completely different?
What’s going on with the content drought? Bungie announced back in early 2021 that they would have to delay the next major expansion of Destiny 2 due to the impacts of the Corona pandemic – to “early in 2022.” Witch Queen was originally supposed to launch in the fall of 2021.
Even then, many fans and players were speculating about how Bungie would handle the seasons. Destiny 2 relies on a seasonal model that introduces new content into the game regularly four times a year and has increasingly been driving the story of the game forward. Many assumed that Destiny 2 would simply extend each of the following seasons in Year 4, but this hasn’t happened even in the ongoing 3 of 4 seasons so far.
In Witch Queen we will deal with the Witch Queen Savathûn – But what can we expect until then?
The current Season 14 is set to end on August 24. That means: In principle, there will be only the upcoming Season 15 left, which can be stretched until the Witch Queen expansion to bridge the gap created by the delay. As of now, there are still supposed to be 4 seasons after the last expansion Beyond Light. And exactly here, some fear a bigger content drought.
How long could Season 15 be? “Early in 2022” is a very elastic term. It could mean anything from January 1 to April 2022. Bungie has unfortunately not yet been more specific about the release of Witch Queen.
However, even if it turns out to be January (which is not really likely, or else they would have expressed themselves more precisely) – Season 15 would thus be at least 5 months long, 2 months longer than a regular season. And in the worst-case scenario, we may have to wait until April 2022 if we consider what the video game industry nowadays refers to as “early” in a year. That would then stretch Season 15 to a total of 8 months.
In a nutshell: Unless Bungie comes up with an alternative solution in the short term, Season 15 will likely be 5 – 8 months long.
This is Bungie’s plan until 2022 – But what about Season 15?
The problem with this: A season usually lasts 3 months. In 2020, Season 11 had to be extended and lasted for 5 months.
In practice, the seasonal model looks like this: many players have nothing left to do by the last month of a regular season, some even earlier, and are craving fresh content. Also, the roadmap is usually already exhausted and offers no real highlights anymore. The 5-month long Season 11 was already quite a torment for many players, even though Bungie had brought some content from the next season forward.
If you then add up to 3 more months for this annoying period for many, the problem becomes quite obvious – especially since Bungie certainly didn’t delay Witch Queen because they have so much time and resources left for new content that they could offer during the transition period.
Could there possibly be another season in Year 4 as a surprise?
Are there solutions? Not officially yet, the studio is still silent. Unfortunately, there were no news on the matter at the gaming fair E3 2021 either.
However, there are basically two possible solutions:
Bungie simply extends Season 15 – by whatever amount – and ideally brings in a few new contents that can be put together at short notice. Maybe something will return from the Content Vault.
There is a new season with fresh content or some sort of bonus season with selected old content or rewards that Guardians can earn if they missed them in the past. The Destiny Content Vault offers some possibilities there.
A completely new, additional 5th season for Year 4 is, however, as mentioned, not very likely. On the one hand, time and resources at Bungie seem to be scarce; otherwise, they wouldn’t have delayed Witch Queen. On the other hand, seasons tell their own story, leading up to the major expansion, bringing new Exotics and seasonal items like armor, weapons, or an artifact. All of this is likely not possible to be created “on the fly” at Bungie.
This, along with the studio’s current silence, rather suggests that Season 15 will be extended. And that could indeed become a torment for many and put some players’ nerves to a real test. It will definitely be interesting to see what Bungie will announce – hopefully as soon as possible.
What do you think, how could Bungie solve this problem? Just extend the season? Insert a kind of bonus season? Something completely different? What solution would you personally prefer or suggest? Let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.

Finally, the MMORPG Lost Ark has received a release window for Europe. Do you already know which class you want to play first at the release? Vote in our survey.
During the Summer Games Fest, Amazon Games announced that Lost Ark will also be released in Europe in Fall 2021. There was also immediate information about which version of the MMORPG we will receive. After all, the game was launched in Korea several years ago and has received many content updates.
These classes are coming to Europe: European players will not start with the same class setup as fans in Korea or Russia. We will get our own mix, consisting of old launch classes and new classes that were released last year or even this year.
The classes in Lost Ark are divided into Base and Advanced. If you complete the prologue with a Base class and reach level 10, you can upgrade it to one of the available Advanced classes. So, for example, if you chose the Mage as your Base class, you will have the choice between Summoner and Bard.
The 14 classes in the EU version are:
Gunlancer (Base class Warrior) – A “tank-like” class that fights with a spear and a shield and can buff the group.
Berserker (Base class Warrior) – A warrior who fights with a great sword. In his berserker form, he can deal a lot of damage.
Paladin (Base class Warrior) – Paladins use a sword and a book in combat to cast holy magic on their opponents and protect the group.
Summoner (Base class Mage) – The mage class summons nature spirits and creatures to support them in battle and uses elemental magic.
Bard (Base class Mage) – The bard attacks her enemies with the power of her music and can buff allies and even heal them.
Deathblade (Base class Assassin) – A fast melee class that can use either daggers or a longsword in combat.
Shadowhunter (Base class Assassin) – This assassin class not only fights with normal physical weapons but also uses the power of chaos that lives within them.
Deadeye and Gunslinger (Base class Gunner) – Both classes are essentially identical but have different genders. They can switch between pistols, shotguns, and a sniper rifle in combat to utilize different skill sets.
Sharpshooter (Base class Gunner) – The classic archer can set traps in battle and also commands his hunting falcon, which deals significant damage.
Artillerist (Base class Gunner) – The class with the really big cannons. The artillerist can use bazookas and flamethrowers in combat.
Soulfist (Base class Martial) – Similar to Dragon Ball, with Soulfist you can use regular physical attacks with hands and feet as well as shoot energy beams and balls.
Wardancer (Base class Martial) – A fast and acrobatic monk class with very high attack speed.
Scrapper (Base class Martial) – Scrapper specializes in melee combat and switches between two skill sets that require the resources Ki and Shock during battle.

In the video by YouTuber Sywo, you can watch the gameplay of all classes.
The classes are “genderlocked”, meaning there is only one gender per class. Thus, all mage classes are female and all warriors are male. However, the developer Smilegate has started to loosen this restriction. They are releasing new classes that feel almost identical to the existing ones but have a different gender. Examples of such classes are Deadeye (male) and Gunslinger (female).
For more information and gameplay videos about the classes in Lost Ark, you can find them in our overview article. Not all classes that have already been released will be playable in the EU version. The missing ones are expected to be added in upcoming patches.
Here’s how you can vote: You can cast your vote in the survey tool below. Keep in mind that you only have one vote and can’t undo it.
So tell us: Which class from Lost Ark has caught your eye? Were you able to participate in the closed alpha and try out the classes? Let us know in the comments which class you will start with in Lost Ark this fall.

This is what the new trailer for Pokémon Unite looks like (via Pokémon Unite)
This is Pokémon Unite
What is in the game? Pokémon Unite is a MOBA, resembling representatives of the genre like League of Legends in its structure. The new trailer also showcased the gameplay elements in more detail.
You will compete with two teams, each consisting of five Pokémon. In the “Unite Battles,” each player selects a monster that comes with its own abilities. It can be equipped with items and has the ability to learn various attacks.
During the match, your Pokémon can level up and evolve. By defeating opposing or wild Pokémon that roam the arena, you collect what is known as “Aeos energy.” This energy is required to score points for your team in “point zones.” Therefore, it’s crucial to have a clever offense while also preventing your opponents from reaching your point zone. In the end, the team with the most points wins.
These are just a few of the monsters included in Pokémon Unite
The Pokémon in the game are divided into different roles that you must use skillfully. There are “Attackers,” “Speedsters,” “All-Rounders,” “Defenders,” and “Supporters.” The monsters in the game include:
Pikachu
Charizard
Snorlax
Castform
Greninja
Cottonee
Fletchling
Lucario
Venusaur
Hypno
Walrein
Absol
Machamp
Whimsicott
Alolan Ninetales
Urshifu
Gengar
Garchomp
Cinderace
A colorful selection that will also be enhanced by the pre-evolutions of the respective monsters. Additionally, legendary Pokémon are expected to play a role in the arena, capable of influencing the outcome of a battle, although there are currently no further details available.
The rewards in the game mostly include new cosmetics for your Pokémon, which were already shown in the trailer. There will also be an in-game shop.
