Mr EliteL Unfortunately the third phase of that event was meant to be done in multiplayer, where you'd have three other players to take the heat off of you while you deposited the energy. Doing it solo would be near impossible, because you just can't keep the enemies off of yourself long enough to get all of the energy stored. Next time an event like this pops up, and if you're still playing the game at that time, definitely hop online to get it completed much easier, and much faster.
Genshin Impact (PS4)
I haven't really been doing a whole lot in this game aside from the current mini-event we have and then spending a lot of time being indecisive on what I want to work on next for character progression. Between farming artifacts for Klee, continuing to farm up ascension materials for other characters, farming weapon ascension materials or farming up talent books. There's a lot to do, but not enough resin to go around. I went ahead and increased my world level to 6, so now all the enemies are between level 70 and 80, with the world bosses being level 83, I believe. Thankfully Klee being the bringer of ruin and destruction that she is, I've had no problem taking down any of them. Though I really do need to get my ass working on artifact farming so I can get Klee to the absolute peak of her potential. The game still refuses to give me Keqing though, which has been a huge downer on my plans for my final team set-ups.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (PS4)
So far I've been enjoying this game a lot. The combat is a lot of fun and the rice farming is much deeper and has a lot more to it than I thought it would. Still trying to get the methods down so I can make the absolute best yields. Think I'm missing some skills that will be required to achieve perfection though, so I just need to continue as best as I can until those skills/tools unlock. Once they do, I can really focus on having the best possible harvests at the end of the year cycle for the biggest stat increases. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who might have been on the fence about it -- you won't regret it.
Arknights (PS4)
We just finished our first event re-run, and it was very good timing for me. The 1-year anniversary is coming up in January, and with it will bring a character I've been waiting a long time for, named 'W' (well, that's her codename). I love her design (
This is her ), and she's the first 6* Sniper that wasn't part of the launch line-up. I've also heard she's very powerful to boot, so that makes me more excited to finally get my hands on her. What I am most interested in though is learning her story, because W is actually part of the bad guys, but she decides to defect from them and join your organization instead. I have been very excited to learn why she made the switch. Though I think I'll have to wait until January to find out, when Chapter 7 of the story gets added, and with it the W banner. First up we have a new event starting on the 10th called "Darknights Memoir", which I
think kind of delves into W's history to show why she joined Reunion (the big bad of the game), and how she came to be how she currently is. Then afterwards we'll get Chapter 7 + W banner and during Chapter 7 is when I think we get the story of why W is changing sides. Either way, I'm super excited for it and it's going to be an extremely fun month and a half for us in this game.
The only bad thing is that this event starting up tomorrow brings a few new characters with it, and the new 6*, Phantom, is actually very interesting. I've been saving up all of my pull currency for W, aside from pulling on new banners for the guaranteed 5/6* in the first 10 pulls, but I'm really tempted to splurge a little bit of my savings to try and acquire Phantom. His ability is really cool, after being deployed, you can then deploy a phantom of him in another spot to attack enemies. It looks like it could be a really good skill to have around, and he's got a short re-deployment time, so you can do a lot of fun strategies with him. Though I also have to remember that the W banner has not one, but two 6* units on it, and both W and the other 6* character are considered very top-tier units, so it might take a bit of pulling to get both of them. But I just have to pray to the gods of RNG to give me both of them without too much effort, and maybe let me pull Phantom in the first 10 pulls so I can have my cake and eat it too.
Azur Lane (Android)
We're coming up to the end of our current event, which is a Dead or Alive Xtreme Vacation crossover. I managed to get all of the new characters, of course, and I've been steadily farming away at the event to clear the event shop (having the last two weeks off due to illness really helped with having time to heavily farm this event). Not sure what's coming after this event, but I'm willing to bet we'll have a re-run of something, and then the next major event to follow afterwards. Gonna be hard to want to focus too much on what's going on in here with all of the excitement going on in Arknights that I mentioned, haha.
