Arena Breakout Season 8 Frozen Frontline: What Changes Will Be Made To The Game?

EA Sports FC 26 will launch its new Phenoms Team on July 10th.

As a key part of World Cup-themed promotion series, this promotion will focus on young players making their mark on World Cup stage, as well as rising stars participating in World Cup for the first time.

With the promotion approaching, many player rosters have been leaked through community channels, including popular young stars such as Lamine Yamal, Endrick, Désiré Doué, and Bradley Barcola.

However, before we get to Phenoms Team, let's take a quick look back at FC 26's recent World Cup schedule.

World Cup Mode Recap

On June 19th, EA launched Greats of the Game, which focused on ICONs and Hero Players. Players could acquire several legendary players at a relatively low cost, such as Marcelo Vieira da Silva, Roberto Carlos, and Cafu.

Then, on June 26th, Glory Hunters launched, bringing powerful special cards including Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi.

Unlike regular special cards, Glory Hunters cards don't come with PlayStyle+ by default; players can adjust them as needed, adding up to four PlayStyle+ cards.

On July 3rd, Glory Hunters continued with its second week of updates, adding popular players like Erling Haaland, Raphinha, and Nuno Mendes to the card pool. On July 10th, Phenoms will officially take over as new content for World Cup Mode series.

According to the current schedule, Summer Stars will also launch on July 17th, which may be FC 26's last major promotion before FUTTIES.

Phenoms Team 1 Leaked Roster

According to current community leaks, Phenoms Team 1 will include approximately 40 young players. Confirmed key players include Lamine Yamal, Endrick, Désiré Doué, and João Neves.

In addition, 36 young players are expected to join the promotion.

While official player ratings, positions, stats, and PlayStyle+ details haven't been released yet, the overall quality of Phenoms Team 1 appears very high based on the revealed lineup.

The Most Anticipated Key Players

The biggest focus of this promotion is undoubtedly Lamine Yamal. With his age advantage, World Cup performance, and high real-world popularity, he is likely to become the representative card for Phenoms Team. In FC 26, Lamine Yamal will receive excellent attributes, and he is expected to become one of the most valuable players on the market.

Endrick is also a highly anticipated target. This Brazilian star has always been a popular player in EA FC games, and his previous special edition has already garnered significant attention.

Phenoms Team 1 is expected to enhance his speed, strength, and shooting ability, potentially reaching an overall rating of 97, making him an important choice for the forward position. French young attackers Doue and Barcola are also worth watching.

Doue possesses excellent dribbling and breakthrough abilities, while Barcola impressed on World Cup stage with his speed and wing play. If their attacking attributes are enhanced in FC 26, their cards are likely to become highly sought-after.

Defense and Midfield Card Predictions

In midfield, João Neves is expected to be a target for many players. He possesses excellent ball control, defensive coverage, and passing abilities, and Phenoms update could make him a very well-rounded midfielder card.

Portuguese center back Renato Veiga has also been confirmed for the promotion. He performed consistently during World Cup and has excellent physical attributes. If FC 26 can enhance his speed attribute, he could become a popular center back in the game.

Furthermore, Micky van de Ven is another player to consider. He has consistently been one of the most popular young center backs in FC 26. Combining elite physical presence, impressive speed, and strong defensive ability, his Phenoms card is expected to return as a highly sought-after defender card.

SBC, Target Rewards, and Other Promotion Content

Besides card pack players, Phenoms promotion is expected to include some SBC and target rewards. Based on current leaks, Turkish young player Arda Güler may be obtainable through SBC or targets. Although Turkey's World Cup performance was less than ideal, his individual potential still attracts considerable attention.

Moreover, players may be able to obtain special updates of Igor Thiago, William Saliba, and Rio Ngumoha through alternative routes, adding even more powerful options to the promotion.

Phenoms Card Mechanics Prediction

Based on current leaks, Phenoms series is expected to differ from Glory Hunters. Cards may directly have PlayStyle+, and may contain up to four PlayStyle+ cards.

Compared to Glory Hunters, which requires players to manually adjust the cards, Phenoms cards are expected to be more complete and better suited to the image of young talents.

Is Phenoms Team 1 Worth Looking Forward To?

Phenoms Team 1 is likely to be a key component of FC 26 World Cup series. Lamine Yamal, Endrick, Désiré Doué, and Bradley Barcola will be the focus of market attention, while players like João Neves, Micky van de Ven, and Renato Veiga also have the potential to become valuable cards.

Although ratings, positions, stats, and PlayStyle+ details haven't been officially announced yet, the leaked roster already suggests a high-quality lineup that's sure to attract players.

Upcoming Events

FC 26 Ultimate Team will soon be receiving two major updates: Summer Stars and FUTTIES.

With 2026 World Cup entering its final stages, Summer Stars will introduce a batch of special cards based on tournament performance, rewarding players who have shone in World Cup. These cards will be permanently upgraded and obtainable through card packs, SBCs, and objective missions.

Following closely behind, FUTTIES will return in July. FUTTIES Team 1 is expected to launch on July 24th, bringing high-rated player cards, the return of Best of Batch, new premium SBCs, evolution content, and transfer market adjustments.

FC 26 Phenoms Team 1 will officially launch on July 10, 2026, at which time the official card art, ratings, and detailed stats will be revealed.

With the start of the real-world 2026 MLB All-Star Week, one of the most anticipated events in MLB the Show 26's Diamond Dynasty mode - All-Star - began on July 9th!

All-Star is considered one of the most anticipated events because it includes a wealth of fun activities and gameplay, offering players the chance to win numerous rewards. Various new content has been added to the game today.

If you're still unsure about the new features added on the first day of All-Star event, keep reading for a detailed introduction.

All-Star Week Prediction Choice Pack

This is the core feature of MLB 26 All-Star event update on July 9th. Starting today, players can claim a free All-Star Week Prediction Choice Pack in Show Shop after logging into the game.

This is a very interesting pack. Unlike other card packs, when you open All-Star Week Prediction Choice Pack, you need to predict the results of the real-world MLB All-Star Week.

Typically, you need to choose your prediction from several candidates in the card pack's slots. Once All-Star Week results are in, you'll receive rewards based on the number of correct predictions.

These rewards typically include Stubs, XP, and All-Star themed card packs. If you predict all your predictions correctly, you'll also receive a high-value All-Star player card.

The pack claim window will remain open until 4:00 PM Pacific Time on July 13th, so please remember to claim your pack during this period to avoid missing out on rewards.

All-Star Programs

In addition to card packs, MLB 26 All-Star also features a variety of All-Star Programs for players to enjoy, including American League & National League 2026 All-Star Programs, My Legacy 2026 All-Star Program, and 2026 All-Star Moonshot Event & Program.

American League & National League 2026 All-Star Programs

During the event, these two programs will replace the original Team Affinity Program. However, like other programs, the program has different nodes. Players earn XP by completing various tasks. Accumulating enough XP unlocks nodes and rewards players.

My Legacy 2026 All-Star Program

This program uses a player's career highlights as a theme, setting several Moments tasks. Players must recreate that player's classic performance in specific game scenarios - that is, complete specific tasks.

2026 All-Star Moonshot Event & Program

Moonshot Event is a classic limited-time online event in MLB 26. Its biggest feature is the various restrictions imposed on players. For example, it might allow players to use any player with strong hitting ability, but only Bronze or Common pitchers can complete various tasks.

Moonshot Program is launched alongside Moonshot Event, offering various tasks and rewards for players to challenge.

After completing the programs, players have a chance to earn a large amount of XP, MLB The Show 26 Stubs, and All-Star Packs. Players can open new All-Star player cards in All-Star Packs; don't miss out if you want to collect them.

5th Inning Path and Other Events

In addition to the programs mentioned above, MLB All-Star event on July 9th also includes other content:

5th Inning XP Reward Path

5th Inning XP Reward Path started simultaneously with All-Star event.

As a permanent progression system for Diamond Dynasty mode, 5th Inning Path, like in the past, has 30-40 reward nodes. Players can earn XP by participating in various activities to unlock these reward points.

Lower-level rewards in Inning Path typically include Stubs and standard card packs, while higher-level rewards contain valuable player cards and card packs.

Since 5th Inning XP Reward Path event runs concurrently with other programs, you can progress through all events at once and obtain a large number of rewards at once.

All-Star Game Diamond Quest

Diamond Quest is a board-style single-player mode in MLB 26. It features a grid-based map where players roll dice to move, triggering different events depending on where the dice land.

These events may include: playing against teams with specific lineups, receiving random player card rewards, and losing progress or regressing a few squares. In its All-Star version, you'll undoubtedly receive All-Star player card rewards.

2026 All-Star Game Mini Seasons Challenge

All-Star Game Mini Seasons has also launched. As a streamlined season mode within Diamond Dynasty, you'll participate in a "shortened" season with a custom lineup, facing other players' lineups or AI teams.

You may need to build a team that meets certain lineup restrictions - for example, the lineup must contain a certain number of All-Star series players. Completing Mini Seasons objectives unlocks exclusive rewards.

2026 All-Star Game Conquest Map

In All-Star version of Conquest Map, you'll typically face teams with All-Star lineups, conquering the map and collecting hidden rewards scattered throughout. Upon completing the map's capture objective, you'll receive a finisher reward.

2026 All-Star Collection

Finally, MLB 26 All-Star event starting July 9th is 2026 All-Star Collection. Similar to other player card collection systems, you'll receive rewards after collecting and locking a specified number of All-Star player cards.

That concludes MLB the show 26 All-Star event content starting July 9th. For more information about the game, follow EZG Facebook. We'll be posting the latest news and may be giving away gifts to our followers in the future.

Although many events and gameplay modes started on July 9th, most of them can be played simultaneously, so you don't need to worry about not getting all the rewards.

July 9th is just the beginning of All-Star event. The game will continue to update with more content on July 11th, 13th, and 14th, so stay tuned.

Torchlight: Infinite SS13 Afterlight will launch on July 17th, and as the season approaches, the player community's anticipation for the new season's content is steadily rising.

From the new hero Tide Whisper Selina and gameplay changes to the recently controversial pity system in the limited-time gacha pool, Afterlight season not only brings a new farming experience but also exposes new issues in the game's operation.

For players who have invested resources in character development and pursue efficient builds, the changes the new season will bring, and whether adjusted pity system will affect future investment strategies, have become one of the most discussed topics in Torchlight: Infinite.

Season Mechanics

Judging from the name, Afterlight may incorporate themes such as darkness, death, souls, light, and embers; therefore, SS13 may revolve around similar concepts. Community speculation suggests that Torchlight Infinite's story will primarily focus on darker events, introducing escort missions or map-based encounters.

Based on Torchlight Infinite's past season design strategies, EZG believes that the new SS13 season mechanics will probably not completely overturn the existing gameplay, but introduce new map events.

You can trigger special events while farming, collecting SS13 temporary resources to exchange for rewards like Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium, enhance affixes, or unlock special crafting abilities.

Build Selection

Afterlight still leans towards high-damage, high-speed farming. Builds that can quickly clear maps and improve resource acquisition efficiency are stronger. Most players will still focus on high-speed mob clearing, elemental bursts, projectile enhancement, and high-mobility farming types.

Thea Scaling Builds, Gemma Elemental Builds, and Summoner Builds are likely to re-emerge with Torchlight: Infinite SS13. At the beginning of the season, the demand for gear and crafting materials for these builds will rise rapidly.

Torchlight Infinite market economy experiences significant fluctuations at the start of each new season, and Afterlight is expected to be no exception. Therefore, the period before the season begins is a crucial time for trading and resource accumulation.

New Hero

The new hero for Torchlight Infinite Afterlight season, Tide Whisper Selina, has been officially revealed. From the currently released trailers, she differs significantly from the original Selina. She doesn't fully transform into a mermaid like the regular Selina, revealing her fishtail, nor does she have her signature singing animation.

EZG speculates that in SS13, Tide Whisper Selina will no longer rely on singing and a full mermaid transformation for combat. Instead, she will focus on Tangle abilities, unleashing skills through deep-sea dance movements. This may involve new mechanics such as stance switching, area control, or single-target burst damage.

Last season, auto-casting was very strong, with many players investing heavily in Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium to enhance related abilities. If Tide Whisper Selina can inherit the smooth auto-casting performance of the original Selina, this new character is likely to quickly become a popular choice at the start of Torchlight Infinite Afterlight SS13.

Gacha Pool Changes

Some players have noticed a previously unnoticed rule in the latest Torchlight Infinite seasonal gacha pool description: When this Boon ends, should it return in a future season, its draw attempts will be retained. If added to Past Memories, the draw attempts will be reset.

If a limited-time gacha pool only returns temporarily, previous draw attempts should be retained. However, in Torchlight Infinite, if the pool officially enters Past Memories, previously accumulated pity attempts will be reset.

This rule has a significant impact on players who rely on the pity system to plan their gacha pulls. Many Torchlight Infinite players previously believed that their accumulated draw attempts would be retained indefinitely. However, according to this change, pools entering Past Memories will reset their pity calculations.

Furthermore, not all pools entering Past Memories explicitly display this rule. Players investigating past seasonal banners discovered that only some recent banners explicitly stated that pull counts would be reset, while earlier banners did not.

If this rule has always existed, why weren't players informed of this beforehand for past banners? If this rule was added in preparation for Afterlight SS13, have players who participated in pulls previously been affected?

Torchlight Infinite customer service addressed these questions. They stated that this mechanism isn't limited to recent banners, but affects all seasonal banners. From earlier seasons of Torchlight Infinite, seasonal banners have had their pull progress reset upon entering the past memories.

Currently, the biggest controversy in the community isn't the pity reset itself, but rather the transparency of the rule presentation. If Torchlight Infinite has consistently used this mechanism, but past banners didn't explicitly state this, some players may have invested resources without fully understanding the rules.

If players knew that the pity system in Torchlight Infinite would disappear, most would likely reconsider investing significant resources in pulling for limited characters. Therefore, it is crucial to clearly explain the important rules affecting players' resource planning in advance, and Torchlight Infinite team should take this seriously.

If Afterlight can further optimize gameplay innovation, season rewards, and rule explanations, while reducing players' uncertainty about resource investment, then SS13 might become a key turning point for Torchlight: Infinite in attracting returning players and encouraging new players to join.

Kinetic Converter is one of the few legendary items in ARC Raiders, and one of the very few without a blueprint. You can't obtain it through crafting; you can only acquire it through persistent farming.

As a top-tier weapon modification in the game, Kinetic Converter can completely transform the game. Equipping it increases the weapon's rate of fire by approximately 15%, but also increases horizontal and vertical recoil by about 20%.

If recoil is not properly controlled, it can have the opposite effect. However, for players who can master recoil control, it can transform an otherwise mediocre weapon into an absolutely powerful one. Now that ARC Raiders Trials Season 5 is underway, Kinetic Converter will continue to play an even greater role, so players who don't yet have this attachment should act quickly.

This article will teach you how to efficiently farm Kinetic Converters in ARC Raiders. Let's take a look.

Prime Farming Locations

Through testing, we have determined which areas have the highest Kinetic Converter drop rate. Currently, Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds maps are the best choices. Spaceport, while offering slightly lower loot, is a decent alternative. Details are as follows:

Buried City

Buried City is widely considered the best map for farming ARC Raiders Kinetic Converters without requiring a key. This map has a high loot density, and all players can access high-value areas. The key to success is finding the right locations and completing a full run.

The most notable location on this ARC Raiders map is Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, known for its abundance of accessory containers, potentially allowing you to obtain multiple Kinetic Converters in a single run. Therefore, we generally recommend heading here early in the run.

There's also an Arbusto Pharmacy breach room, which, together with Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, forms an efficient continuous looting loop. You can quickly run between these two pharmacies for an efficient farming route.

Besides the pharmacies, there's a hard-to-reach treasure room in an apartment building in West Village, located between Grandioso Apartments and the northeast extraction point.

This room requires some parkour skills to enter, and it's precisely because of this high difficulty that it contains some high-quality loot. Once inside, you'll most likely find a Kinetic Converter in the brown drawer in the back left corner.

Dam Battlegrounds

If you have the right key, Dam Battlegrounds map offers a higher ceiling for rare attachments. Dam Personnel Room Key is considered one of the best investments for attachments in ARC Raiders; some players have reported obtaining multiple Kinetic Converters from the same room in a single raid.

In addition, Dam Control Tower Key is also very valuable. Combining it with Dam Personnel Room Key can create an efficient farming route.

For players without keys, Dam Battlegrounds map still provides a specific route, but it can be quite risky. There's a specific platform on the side of the control tower with destructible chests that have a high chance of dropping Kinetic Converters.

However, climbing onto this platform is very risky and requires precise maneuvering; a fall can be fatal. Therefore, you need to develop an escape plan, such as using a zipline, to return safely.

Spaceport

Spaceport map is a reliable alternative, although it may not be as efficient as farming items in Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds, but it will still yield some rewards.

Launch Tower in the center of the map is your primary objective. They contain high-tier loot chests that can drop legendary items, and you can easily reach them via zipline. While the drop rate for Kinetic Converters isn't extremely high, the competition here is definitely less intense than elsewhere.

Maximizing Efficiency

To truly maximize your Kinetic Converter acquisition efficiency, there are two methods, as follows:

Night Raid Events

Night Raid Events are repeatedly cited as the best time to farm rare items. It's reportedly able to naturally increase the drop rate of rare items, including Kinetic Converters. While there's still a drop rate during the day, to avoid wasting your time and effort, we strongly recommend focusing your map farming efforts on night raids in Buried City or Dam Battlegrounds.

Scrappy

If you want an easier way to obtain it, try Scrappy (a common resource). You can feed it Agave in ARC Raiders, which will give you a chance to get attachments. While the drop rate for Kinetic Converter isn't 100%, it's almost free, essentially giving you a free chance.

The most efficient loop is to farm Buried City in ARC Raiders, acquiring both attachments and Agave. Then, feed Agave to Scrappy to increase your chances of getting Kinetic Converter.

Many players make the mistake of being greedy after finding Kinetic Converter. Remember, your priority at this point is to escape alive. Stop chasing other containers and avoid intense combat. Kinetic Converter is far more helpful than killing a person, and obtaining this attachment will speed up your progress in ARC Raiders Trials Season 5.

For high-rate-of-fire weapons like Bobcat or Stitcher, Kinetic Converter is an excellent attachment because the extra recoil is manageable, while DPS boost is substantial. I wish all players reading this article the best of luck in obtaining Kinetic Converter and successfully completing ARC Raiders Trials Season 5. Go try it out!

Pre-orders for GTA 6 are now open, with an official release date of November 19th. For players eagerly awaiting the release date of Trailer 3, the official social media activity has stirred up a storm.

On July 6th, the official Rockstar Games account retweeted a post from Circle Loco Records. While this content itself appears to be just a regular music promotion, the timing, linked to July 10th, has led many players to speculate that it might be a signal from the official for the next phase of GTA 6's promotional activities.

Of course, the official release date for Trailer 3 has not been officially confirmed, and any related speculation is merely player conjecture based on past promotional patterns.

However, considering the relationship between the official account and Circle Loco Records, and GTA 6's previous marketing methods, this retweet has certainly sparked considerable speculation among players.

What Does the Retweeted Tweet Mean?

The content retweeted by the official account came from Circle Loco Records, and the link in the tweet leads to the record label's platform page.

On its own, this appears to be a typical music promotion. However, Circle Loco Records is not an unrelated third-party music label.

The label was jointly established by the electronic music brand CircoLoco and  GTA team, with their collaboration dating back to 2021.

Circle Loco Records primarily focuses on genres such as underground house and electronic music, leveraging GTA team's influence in the gaming entertainment field to connect music content with game culture.

Because of this special relationship, GTA team's proactive reposting of Circle Loco Records' promotional content has led players to believe it may contain more information.

Especially in GTA series, music has always held a crucial position. From the radio system to game trailers, music has become a vital tool for GTA team to shape the game world.

Music May Be a Key Clue

Looking back at the two previously released GTA 6 trailers, it's clear that GTA team has always placed great emphasis on music selection.

• Trailer 1 used Tom Petty's Love Is a Long Road, a song with a distinct road trip feel and nostalgic vibe, echoing Florida theme and the free-spirited travel atmosphere depicted in the game.
• Trailer 2 used Hot Together, further emphasizing the game's vibrant urban life, party culture, and Miami-style tropical atmosphere.

This has led players to speculate that if Trailer 3 continues to use official music, Circle Loco Records' tracks might be used as background music.

After all, GTA 6's story is highly relevant to Miami's culture, and electronic, house, and retro dance music are integral parts of South Florida's nightlife.

From a stylistic perspective, Circle Loco Records' music direction does indeed align to some extent with the worldview GTA 6 might present.

Therefore, some players believe that Circle Loco Records' July 10th event might not just be a simple music promotion, but could be connected to the next phase of the official promotional plan.

The official may be using a music collaboration to pave the way for future promotional content.

Why July 10th?

Besides Circle Loco Records activity, the date July 10th itself has become a focus of discussion.

Some players have noticed that Circle Loco Records' events are scheduled around this date, and the official promotional rhythm has led players to believe that July might be a window for new GTA 6 content announcements.

In the past, the official usually chooses weekdays like Tuesdays or Thursdays to announce major promotional content.

For example, the release dates of GTA 6 Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 both align with the official's preferred promotional rhythm.

However, the official isn't completely immune to releasing information on Fridays. In recent years, the company has also used Fridays to release news articles, announcements, or community information to generate buzz for upcoming events.

Therefore, if new GTA 6-related news emerges on July 10th, it wouldn't be entirely out of character for the official.

A popular speculation among players is that Circle Loco Records might release new music on July 10th, and GTA 6 Trailer 3 might be announced a few days later, or even the following week.

GTA 6 Promotional Campaign is Entering Next Phase

Besides the music speculation, several factors lead players to believe that Trailer 3 might not be far off.

First, pre-orders for GTA 6 have already begun, officially entering the commercial promotion phase. For the developers, continuously releasing new information is crucial to maintaining player and market attention.

Second, with the official release date approaching, player expectations for new characters, maps, gameplay, and story content are constantly increasing.

Furthermore, Take-Two Interactive plans to hold an investor conference in early August. In this context, releasing new promotional content in advance would help demonstrate the market buzz surrounding GTA 6 and further boost confidence in the game's sales performance.

However, compared to other game developers who frequently announce development progress, the official developers prefer to release important content all at once after thorough preparation. Therefore, even with several potential clues, it cannot be definitively proven that Trailer 3 will be released soon.

If the official is preparing for the next round of promotional activities, then the long-awaited Trailer 3 may not be far from being revealed.

If you've pre-ordered GTA 6 and are worried about not having enough resources to start the game, check out our GTA 6 Store. We offer currency and various services to help you have enough resources for a great gaming experience.

Perhaps Trailer 3 will be released in July. Let's wait and see!

In PoE 2, Cast on Critical is an essential skill for all caster builds, allowing you to automatically cast spells that take a long time to activate. After the major changes to Leech in Patch 0.5.0, the gameplay of Cast on Critical builds shifted.

Now, the strongest builds no longer rely on the significantly weakened Leech mechanic, but instead prioritize mana. While you can no longer trigger gear skills as frequently, players can still easily use them to complete endgame content.

Below are four of the best Cast on Critical builds recommended in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.0. Let's take a look.

1. Stormweaver Spark CoC Comet

This is the most classic and popular Cast on Critical build, known for its simple and direct powerful output and incredibly fast monster farming speed. As a Stormweaver, you can use Spark to generate a large number of critical hits and automatically trigger the powerful Comet.

Stormweaver's Constant Gale ascendancy node provides a powerful Arcane Surge effect, crucial for mana recovery and cast speed. Combined with Shaper of Storms node, you can apply Shock effect regardless of your damage type, significantly increasing Comet's damage.

Due to the nerfs to the lifesteal mechanic in Return of the Ancients, this build now benefits from stacking Energy Shield, along with Mind Over Matter (MoM) and Eldritch Battery (EB) to build a massive mana pool as your primary defense. With sufficient resources, you can achieve a smoother, more devastating gameplay experience.

Here's what you need:

• Maligaro's Virtuosity
• Call of the Brotherhood
• Energy Shield

2. Cold CoC Comet

Many PoE 2 players associate Cast on Critical with Lightning Skills because it triggers Comet's effect. However, you can also choose Cold Skills like Frostbolt and Frost Wall. This build was actually very popular in the previous League, and the changes in Return of the Ancients may require some modifications.

A major advantage of this build is its low cost, and it performs well in both clearing mobs and fighting bosses. Frostbolts are Comet's main trigger skill, and its projectiles will bear most of the damage output.

For boss fights, since there are no mobs to trigger critical strikes, we will use Frost Wall. Like all Cast on Critical builds, you need to stack critical strike chance, but due to the changes to the lifesteal mechanic in Patch 0.5.0, you will also need mana regeneration.

Here's what you need:

• Frostbolts (with Projectile Acceleration III and Sione's Temper support)
• Frost Wall (with Spell Cascade and Fortress)
• Cast on Critical (with Comet, Efficiency, and Boundless Energy)
• Mana Remnants (Harmonic Remnants and Remnant Potency)
• Snakepit (unique ring) on left slot

3. Nebuloch Crit Slams

Nebuloch Execratus Hammer is a unique one-handed hammer that guarantees a critical hit on every attack by consuming one Endurance Charge. If you have a reliable source of charge, you can continuously trigger CoC effect in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.0. The downside is that you take 100 Chaos damage per second when you have an Endurance Charge, so you may need to acquire Chaos Immunity talent.

This build sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple. Shield Wall is your primary damage skill, while Warcries helps you kill enemies. As long as you have Endurance Charge, Nebuloch Execratus Hammer guarantees critical hits, so you only need to stack critical hit damage.

Here's what you need:

• Shield Wall
• Infernal Cry
• Nebuloch (unique Mace)
• Crown of Eyes (unique Helmet for spell-to-attack conversion)
• Cast on Critical (with Comet, Efficiency, and Boundless Energy)

4. Inevitable Thunderstorm

In PoE 2 Patch 0.5.0 Return of the Ancients, Inevitable Thunderstorm is also a very good choice. Cast on Critical is also an excellent combination with Entangle and Thrashing Vines. Best of all, you don't need to invest too many resources in increasing critical hit rate, because guaranteed critical hits will force a critical hit.

First, you can use Entangle to slow down enemies, then use Thrashing Vines to deal damage. With Inevitable Critical, you can frequently trigger Thunderstorm and cause plants to overgrow, triggering explosions for additional damage.

Furthermore, enemies are easily hit by Shock of Freeze, so you can utilize damage conversion to increase your output. Since Thunderstorm itself doesn't deal damage, reducing Critical Damage penalty has no impact on your build.

Here's what you need:

• Entangle, Thrashing Vines
• Cast on Critical (with Thunderstorm, Efficiency, and Boundless Energy)
• Mana Remnants (Harmonic Remnants and Remnant Potency)
• Nightscale (optional unique gloves)

To complete the above builds, you'll need a large amount of Currency. If you lack funds, you can buy Path Of Exile 2 Currency from EZG.com, which provides the safest and most convenient way to obtain it.

The above four builds are all relatively strong in Return of the Ancients. You can choose to accord to your own preferences. Most importantly, remember to pay attention to relevant information, as there may be changes later.

There's been a lot of news about PoE 2 lately. To save time, you can follow EZG Facebook, where there are occasional giveaways to speed up your game progress. Join now!

This concludes the article about Path of Exile 2 Cast on Critical (CoC) builds. We hope it helps you progress faster. Go try it out!
