Blue Archive 5 Students: What Role Can They Play In Battle?

As the first major update to ARC Raiders since its launch,  ARC Raiders 1.2.0 Patch not only brings the brand-new map Stella Montis, but also introduces a new ARC enemy even more threatening than The Queen – Matriarch.

While the former typically guards a Harvester that provides resources for lower-level players, Matriarch is more like a high-risk target roaming the map.

Unlike previous rewards, Matriarch will drop a special loot added in this North Line update after the battle – Matriarch Reactor. Therefore, be well-prepared to face this alluring yet dangerous behemoth.

With the right weapons and effective strategies, defeating her is not impossible. Below is a comprehensive guide for Raiders intending to challenge this formidable foe.

Matriarch Spawn Locations

Similar to other dynamic events in ARC Raiders, you won't encounter Matriarch without warning; the game will alert you to the special status of the current map through mission notifications.

Due to the smaller size of Buried City and Stella Montis maps, Matriarch will not spawn there, but she can appear on all other maps. 

Although she doesn't have a fixed spawn location, you can usually find her in large areas of each map, such as Red Lake in Dam Battlegrounds, the area in front of Launch Tower on Spaceport, and the hilly area near the center of the map above Checkpoint.

Recommended Weapons And Equipment

If you have already defeated The Queen or unlocked Wolfpack Blueprint, you should have a good grasp of weapon and equipment choices, as Matriarch's weaknesses are quite similar to those of her more heavily armored and equally large ARC counterparts, here are the best weapon and equipment choices to fight Matriarch:

Weapon Selection

When facing the beetle-form Matriarch, your weapon choice is paramount. Hullcracker Launcher is an excellent choice, dealing massive damage to this heavily armored ARC unit.

Considering the difficulty of accurately hitting targets from a distance with Hullcracker, carrying an upgraded Anvil is a good supplement, as it deals extra damage to armored sections penetrated by Hullcracker.

Additionally, Barricades can be used to construct defensive positions, isolating safe zones and allowing you to focus more on fighting Matriarch.

While you might be tempted to gear up all your equipment for Matriarch, EZG.com recommends that in addition to your primary weapon, Hullcracker, you also carry at least one powerful secondary weapon, such as Venator.

This configuration, while slightly impacting your efficiency in killing ARC enemies, effectively protects you from other third-party Raiders who might exploit your weaknesses and steal your hard-earned loot.

Finally, weapons using Medium Ammo can also deal considerable damage to the weak points of ARC enemies.

Equipment Selection

Regarding equipment selection, there are several quick-use items and grenades that can simplify the fight against Matriarch, with Wolfpack grenade and the newly added Deadline Mine being particularly crucial.

Wolfpack grenade's main advantage is that each rocket hit deals up to 1992 damage, while also effectively clearing large groups of flying enemies summoned by Matriarch.

While the placement of Deadline Mines, Blaze Traps, and Blaze Grenades requires skill and improper operation can be self-destructive, they can deal massive damage to heavily armored enemies like Matriarch. Deadline Mines, in particular, can even completely stun Matriarch for a short time.

While there are many other ARC Raiders Items that can make your fight easier, the following recommended combination is a good starting point, with each additional item enhancing your advantage. However, be careful not to carry too many items, as this can hinder your mobility during combat.

• Raider Hatch Key: Allows you to quickly extract with loot after defeating Matriarch.
• Combat Module With Medium/Heavy Shields: Enhances survivability against powerful attacks and other Raiders.
• Plenty of Medical Supplies: Provides healing sprays and defibrillators for yourself and your teammates, ensuring rapid health regeneration.
• Lure Grenades: Lure Matriarch's summoned ARC enemies to attack her, exposing them to your firepower.
• Showstoppers & Smoke Grenades: Lifesavers in critical moments, used for quick escapes or to cover low-health teammates.
• Photoelectric Cloak: Makes you invisible to enemy ARC units, allowing you to escape danger or approach Matriarch to lay mines.

Defeat Strategy

When engaging Matriarch and dodging her rocket barrage, focus your fire on the center of her vertical eye or the vent located on the lower front of her body.

You can also try attacking G-joints connecting each of her legs; these areas can damage and may temporarily stun her, but hitting these joints is difficult due to her frequent movement. Unlike The Queen, who allows you to use cover to avoid her deadly rocket and laser attacks, Matriarch summons a large number of more challenging enemies, forcing you to maintain distance and eliminate them one by one.

Given that most of the enemies she summons, such as Fireballs and Leapers, are ground-based, it is recommended to occupy high ground and find ample cover when engaging Matriarch, prioritizing the elimination of air units that can reach your position, especially the more threatening Rocketeers.

However, to prevent you from remaining in one place for too long, Matriarch will periodically drop Gas Grenades to deplete your stamina or launch Flashbang Bombs to blind you, so you will need to frequently change position to avoid being surrounded by ARC enemies.

These two attack methods themselves do not cause direct damage, but they make you more vulnerable to her subsequent rocket attacks or being hit by nearby summoned ARC enemies.

During the battle, Matriarch will occasionally spawn an Electric Shield around herself. This shield completely blocks all attacks from outside, providing an excellent opportunity to heal, prepare for the next wave of attacks, or weaken ARC enemies she summons.

Upon successfully defeating Matriarch, you will receive the following material rewards:

• ARC Alloy
• ARC Circuitry
• ARC Performance Steel
• Advanced ARC Powercell
• ARC Flex Rubber
• ARC Motion Core
• ARC Synthetic Resin
• ARC Thermo Lining
• Magnetic Accelerator
• Matriarch Reactor

Of these drops, only Matriarch Reactor is a unique material exclusive to the Matriarch, used to craft Aphelion series of weapons. While the exact location and material requirements for obtaining the weapon's Blueprint are currently unclear, considering the extreme difficulty of defeating ARC Matriarch, it is foreseeable that this will be an extremely powerful weapon.

In brief, taking on Matriarch is the ultimate test of your gear, tactics, and team coordination. The substantial rewards for defeating her will definitely enhance your adventure, so make sure you're fully prepared for this high-stakes battle!

ARC Raiders is a third-person escape shooter with RPG elements, where the player’s chosen skills and gear are crucial factors in determining the gameplay style and exploration difficulty throughout the game. However, unlike Path of Exile, once you activate the wrong skill here, you cannot change it and can only reset your character.

This is where you’ll need to use Expeditions, which can also be called a wipe or a prestige. After you complete the entire expedition, your account will be reset, and you can start building your character and your exploration again.

While it’s hoped that no player will experience this ordeal, who can guarantee they won’t make mistakes when choosing build options? Fortunately, this guide will provide a detailed explanation of how expeditions work in Arc Raiders and the exploration strategies required, which may help you avoid some of the difficulties.

What Are Expeditions?

According to the developers’ announcement, Expedition is an optional data wipe system in ARC Raiders that requires active player intervention and will completely reset most of your game progress. It will also offer you some rewards, such as the novelty of exploration and some benefits options in the subsequent process.

How It Works?

When your player reaches level 20, you can unlock Expedition missions, which are divided into 6 stages, each of which requires you to submit the corresponding ARC Raiders items to complete. Note that these items will be permanently lost once submitted, so please use your resources wisely to ensure you can successfully participate in the raid before your account is reset.

And, the quantity and quality of these items gradually increase, so it’s recommended that you collect and prepare everything you need for the entire expedition phase to ensure everything goes smoothly. The following is a list of items required for each stage of the expedition.

Stage 1: Foundation

• 150 Metal Parts
• 200 Rubber Parts
• 80 ARC Alloy
• 15 Steel Springs

Stage 2: Core Systems

• 35 Durable Cloth
• 30 Wires
• 30 Electrical Components
• 5 Cooling Fans

Stage 3: Framework

• 5 Light Bulbs
• 30 Batteries
• 20 Sensors
• 1 Exodus Module

Stage 4: Outfitting

• 5 Humidifiers
• 5 Advanced Electrical Components
• 3 Magnetic Accelerators
• 3 Leaper Pulse Units

Stage 5: Load Stage

• 250,000 Coins worth of Combat items
• 100,000 Coins worth of Survival items
• 180,000 Coins worth of Provision items
• 300,000 Coins worth of Materials

Stage 6: Departure

• No required items, but Expedition Departure Window must be active.

One thing you should note is that when you reach Stage 6, you need to wait for Expedition Departure Window to open, which is currently closed, likely because we are still in the early stages of the game and not many players need to reset their accounts.

This window of opportunity is approximately seven days after the end of the eight-week preparation period, which gives you a short buffer period to decide whether to set off immediately or collect the last few items you are still missing. Some leaked information suggests that the first Departure Window may officially open next month, so stay tuned!

Once you’ve completed all the expeditions, your account will be completely reset, meaning you’ll need to acquire items again, complete quests again, and start most of the other progress quests from scratch. Fortunately, some of your in-game items will be retained, as listed below:

Reset Items

• All Stash upgrades
• All Inventory items
• All collected Blueprints
• All Coins in your bank
• All earned player levels (you reset back to level one)
• All spent Skill Points
• Your Raider Den
• All Workshop upgrades
• All complete quests

Keep Items

• All Unlocked maps
• All Unlocked Workshop stations
• All Unlocked Codex entries
• All Raider Tokens
• All earned Cred
• All Raider Deck progress
• Your place on active Leaderboards
• Any active Trials
• All earned or purchased Cosmetics
• Any Personal Event progress
• Any bonus Skill Points earned from Expeditions
• Any bonus Stash Slots earned from Expeditions

What Rewards Can Get?

As mentioned earlier, while expeditions in ARC Raiders will reset your account, it’s not without its benefits. Besides retaining the additional Skill Points and Stash Inventory slots you had before the reset, there are other substantial rewards, such as permanent account unlock rewards and unique cosmetic rewards.

In addition, there are experience bonuses that can be applied to the next expedition cycle, increased upgrade material quantity at Scrappy, weapon repair efficiency, and more. Most importantly, the magnitude of these bonuses increases with the number of consecutive expeditions completed.

It’s worth noting that the rewards from ARC Raiders’ expeditions are unlikely to appear in other in-game content, such as the shop, deck rewards, or raids, making them extremely valuable, even something to brag about to other players. However, opinions on resetting accounts are divided, and you might get different responses.

For advanced players, using expeditions to access fresher and more challenging game content is the best option; however, for players with lower skill levels, any reset risk could lead to their demise in the initial raid, so participating in limited-time events to increase their sense of novelty is the best approach.

This concludes the detailed introduction to Expedition content in ARC Raiders. Hopefully, with a better understanding of it, you can more easily complete collecting and submitting the items needed for your Expedition, and experience more of the game’s freshness by resetting your account. Enjoy the game!

Another fantasy-themed MMOARPG has been released! It’s called Aion 2,which is scheduled for official release on November 19, 2025, with simultaneous release on Korea and Taiwan platforms, and the global version is expected to be released to players in the second half of 2026.

As the latest sequel to Aion, which was released in 2008, it expands, continues, and innovates upon the original world view and core game mechanics, aiming to bring a fresh gaming experience to all loyal players and newcomers alike.

Moreover, this new game uses Unreal Engine 5, which will bring players more realistic combat actions and a more immersive exploration experience. At the same time, the relationship between PvE and PvP in AION 2 is closer, which is in line with the current trend of action-adventure games.

And precisely because some gameplay and mechanics in Aion 2 are quite different from the original, this guide provides comprehensive guidance for all newcomers and loyal fans who are ready to enjoy the early access experience, making it easier for you to explore the game smoothly. Enough with the small talk, let’s begin!

1. System Requirements

Because there is a significant time gap between the new game and the original, we will provide you with the system requirements for playing Aion 2 here at first. You can check yourself using the following content to see if you can fight smoothly within the game.

For Mobile

• System: Android 11 and up
• Minimum Specifications: 6GB RAM

For PC

Minimum Requirements

• OS: 64 Bit Windows 10/11
• Memory: 16 GB
• Graphics Card: FHD / GTX 1660 (6GB)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F / AMD Ryzen 3 3300X

Recommended Requirements

• Memory: 32 GB
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti / QHD
• CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

Although there is currently no news about Aion 2 for iOS and consoles, players are very optimistic about its prospects. After all, the developer behind it has previously created several excellent games applicable to all platforms, so it has the capability to complete this project.

2. Class Options

Having discussed some objective game system requirements, we now move on to the introduction of some in-game customization options. As an ARPG, the selectable Class option in AION 2 is actually very important, as it determines the player’s gameplay style and exploration difficulty.

There are 8 classes available for all players to choose from, each playing a different team role:

• Gladiator - Melee DPS: Possesses extremely powerful area-of-effect attacks and melee capabilities.
• Ranger - Ranged DPS: Specializes in using ranged weapons and traps to inflict fatal damage on enemies.
• Sorcerer - Mage: Focuses on using magic to deal massive damage.
• Spiritmaster - Mage: Summons various undead to assist in all combat.
• Cleric - Support: Specializes in providing healing services to all players in the raid.
• Chanter - Support: Focuses on providing buffs and healing to other players.
• Templar - Tank: Wields a greatsword and shield, capable of powerful offense and defense.
• Assassin - Stealth: Possesses high mobility and damage output, capable of dealing burst damage from behind.

This information is based on the live streams previously released by the developers, and there is a high possibility that they will change upon official release. Please refer to the final patch/update notes for details.

3. In-Game Combat

After selecting your class and character name, you can enter Aion 2 to engage in battle. Currently, there are no detailed lists or explanations available for the selectable gear, skills, and buffs, so we won’t go into detail about them here. This section primarily focuses on some previously leaked content related to PvP and PvE.

PvP

Based on known information, PvP in AION 2 is located in a specific area called the Abyss Zone, which is open for 7 hours per week. However, you can use certain in-game items to extend the opening hours.

Also, PvP gear can only be obtained using Abyss Points, or AP for short, an in-game currency. They will appear in 1v1, 4v4, and 8v8 PvP battles, as well as rewards dropped by PvE enemies in Abyss and in Mini-games played simultaneously with other players.

It’s worth noting that AP farming has no time limit, and extracting AP gear will refund 80% of the points you spent. This means that you can develop your own economic system in this battle mode to continuously acquire high-level gear and complete all challenges.

Based on previous closed beta tests and feedback from the community, PvP aspect of Aion 2 has received mostly positive reviews, with advantages such as a smooth and enjoyable leveling process, beautifully designed dungeons, and rich exploration content. However, there are also some shortcomings, such as a lack of impact in combat and a somewhat inadequate tutorial in the early stages of the game.

PvE

Next, let’s look at PvE. They usually appear in dungeons, which requires the use of teleportation. This ensures that players will not be attacked at the dungeon entrance during the leveling process, thus ensuring that the leveling process is not interrupted.

Additionally, PvE gear is based on Bind on Pickup, meaning it can only be traded within the player group participating in that dungeon. The same applies to all loot and rewards dropped upon completion of the run. Also, you don’t need to use Abyss gear here.

In fact, player reviews of PvE are mixed. Some players believe that the synergy and division of labor between classes are very clear, and so far everything is functioning normally. However, numerous players feel that the combat difficulty is too high, characters die very easily, and the lack of an open-world duel mode is their biggest disappointment.

4. Economy System

Finally, let’s take a look at the game’s economic system. There are two currencies available for you to acquire and use: Aion 2 Kinah and Aion 2 Quna, which are used for in-game transactions and in-store transactions, respectively.

Kinah can be used for character enhancement and equipment research throughout the game, as well as for trading in the auction house. Quna is more suitable for obtaining cosmetic items such as appearances, clothing, weapon skins, pets, and wings from shops.

Normally, Kinah can be obtained through regular quests, battles, and trading; Quna, on the other hand, is obtained through exchanging this primary currency. Therefore, you can clearly see that the demand for Game Kinah is extremely high, and the consequences of losing it would be disastrous.

Therefore, here highly recommend to buy tons of affordable and secure Aion 2 Kinah from EZG.com, which has a large inventory and fast delivery, can definitely make your open-world adventure much easier.

This concludes our Aion 2 beginner’s guide for all players. We hope the introductions and tips above will help you more easily embark on your adventure. If your region is not currently in Early Access, please be patient; you will surely enjoy a more complete Aion 2 in the future. Happy gaming!

In Call of Duty: Black Ops series, the ultimate goal for players is generally to become a top player or have an easy gaming experience. However, initially, characters are relatively weak and must gradually become stronger by continuously upgrading their weapons and skills.

For beginners, jumping directly into actual combat often presents a significant challenge, as it requires both time and considerable effort to improve their combat abilities. This is where Bot Lobbies become an ideal alternative. Here, players can encounter opponents of lower skill levels, allowing for practice and growth without too much pressure.

With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, the popularity of CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies has continued to rise, providing newcomers with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the game and experienced players with a convenient place to test new gear or complete missions.

What Are Bot Lobbies?

In the multiplayer world of CoD BO7, Bot Lobbies refer to battle rooms filled with AI-controlled opponents rather than real players.

Private Match Bots are programmed to replicate real player behaviors, including movement, aiming, shooting, and reacting to actions from players. With adjustable difficulty levels ranging from easy to high, Bot Lobbies offer an ideal training space for players of any skill level.

It provides players with a low-pressure environment, allowing them to improve their skills at their own pace without facing intense battles against high-level real players, and without worrying about affecting their kill-to-death ratio.

Role Of Bot Lobbies

Let's take a closer look at how it can play a role in combat:

Skill Improvement And Practice

For new or unfamiliar players, Bot Lobbies are an excellent place to practice shooting, movement, and map awareness. Here, players can hone their marksmanship, familiarize themselves with map layouts, and test tactics without the pressure of facing highly skilled players.

Rapid Leveling Up And Unlocking

In this less competitive environment, players can accumulate kills and experience points, helping to upgrade weapons, gain XP, and complete missions. This is an effective way to unlock weapon attachments and complete camouflage challenges.

Casual Gaming Experience

For players who prefer a more relaxed experience or simply want to unwind, Bot Lobbies offer a low-pressure alternative to competitive multiplayer games, allowing players to purely enjoy the game without worrying about competitive performance.

Gear Testing And Strategy Validation

Players can test new weapon configurations, skills, and gear without fear of facing human opponents. It's a safe experimental environment where players can try different gear combinations and tactical strategies to find the configuration best suited to their playstyle.

Quickly Add Bot Lobbies

After learning about CoD: Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies and their functions, players are probably eager to know how to quickly enter Lobbies. The following methods will greatly increase your chances of getting in:

1. Team Up With Lower-Skill Friends

Since CoD's matchmaking system tends to average out the skill level of the entire team, if you are a high-level player, you can choose to team up with some lower-level or new players to balance the matchmaking mechanism and reduce the challenge of the game.

Additionally, ensure your team includes several casual players who don't care about rankings or game results to reset the matchmaking system and prevent your team from being matched with the same players for extended periods, potentially placing you in high-ranking rooms.

It's important to note that you need to manage your kills and deaths carefully in-game. The system may collect data from each match to adjust the matchmaking system. A high kill count but low death rate may be identified as a high-level player, potentially leading to placement in higher-level matches.

2. Avoid Peak Hours

One of the most effective ways to enter lower-level bot lobbies is to play during off-peak hours, such as:

• Early Morning: 6 AM - 9 AM
• Weekday Mornings: Monday to Friday
• Late Night: After midnight

There are fewer online players during these times, making it harder for the skill-based matchmaking system to find players of similar skill levels. Therefore, you're more likely to be matched with lower-level players or bot lobbies.

3. Create A New Account

Creating a new account resets the matchmaking system's evaluation, as the system will place new players in the easiest rooms to assess their skill level. However, this method carries the risk of being banned because it may reveal your skill level during the evaluation process.

Furthermore, while this method can increase the chances of entering low-level bot rooms more quickly and effectively, it should be considered a last resort, given the risks mentioned above, or for players who have invested a lot of time and effort in their main account.

Advanced Techniques

To maximize the benefits of bot training, some high-level professional players in the community recommend the following advanced techniques:

Bot difficulty in BO7 matches is typically divided into Easy, Normal, and Expert levels. Players should adjust the difficulty according to their progress, starting with Easy bots and gradually increasing the difficulty level. This helps to steadily build skill and confidence.

Additionally, you can focus on specific skills, setting clear goals for each training session, such as practicing headshots, mastering a specific weapon, or learning map layouts. By focusing on improving a particular skill, the training effect will be more significant.

Furthermore, BO7 offers a variety of game modes, including Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search and Destroy, Kill Confirmed, Free-For-All, Hardpoint, Gunfight, Kill Order, and Overload. Players can choose different game modes and maps to ensure a comprehensive gaming experience.

For players who want to progress in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 but don't want to always be in a highly competitive environment, Bot Lobbies provide a perfect transition. As their game skills develop, players who hone their skills using Bot Lobbies will find a significant improvement in their performance in regular PvP matches.

Treat Bot Lobbies as your personal training ground; the time spent here will directly translate into improved performance in competitive matches. But remember, true growth comes from challenges. When the time is right, bravely step into high-level competitive environments to test your true strength.

With the release of ARC Raiders’ latest North Line Update 1.2.0, a brand new map called Stella Montis has been added to the player’s explorable content. However, unlike other games releasing new maps, it requires cooperation from the community to unlock. Fortunately, this new content has already been activated.

This Stella Montis map features snowy landscapes that perfectly match the current season, as well as three very interesting in-game missions. However, it’s important to note that the risks involved are extremely high. 

Without the help of this guide, including mission instructions, loadout recommendations, and loot analysis, you would undoubtedly experience a lot of painful trials. So, enough with the small talk, let’s get started on our exploration!

Mission 1: In My Image

First, let’s look at the first mission on this map: In My Image, which requires you to find all Arc robots and loot all the rewards from them. It’s worth noting that these robot enemies won’t just hand you loot; you’ll need to interact with them.

In total, you’ll need to interact with three robots to complete this mission. However, based on player feedback, some enemies in this mission don’t provide Arc Raiders in-game items, which could potentially slow down your progress.

Therefore, here’s a method for you: Once you find a robot that meets the task requirements, immediately exit the game, wait two minutes, and then re-enter. This will make it very easy for you to find the robot you marked. This way, you can complete the task in a maximum of 5 games.

This method works whether you’re exploring solo or in a team, because these bots are shared, so you and your teammates can interact with them and earn high-value loot rewards.

Mission 2: Cold Storage

The next task requires you to travel to Loading Bay and find a J Kozma Ventures Container. Unfortunately, this NPC, Shani who gives you the task provides no useful information other than the item’s name, which undoubtedly increases the game’s difficulty.

However, according to comments from some players in the community, EZG.com knows that this container will most likely appear near the extraction point, but the exact location is completely random. You can find this special in-game item very easily because it has a unique white-ish color and is stacked with blue containers.

Once you find it, you can interact with the container end opposite the evacuation call button and the platform. It will provide you with some Old World Books, which are essential tools for delivering them to Shani and completing your goal of Deliver the Rare Books to Shani.

Remember, make sure you are invincible after acquiring the important items, because these books will only be preserved intact to achieve the mission objective if you successfully reach the extraction point and complete the extraction mission.

Mission 3: Snap And Salvage

The final task, called Snap and Salvage, requires you to investigate two specific locations within the facility Tian Wen asked, and deliver two ARC Raiders Items to them - one rare and the other epic. This also indicates the chief difficulty of this task, as the item spawn rate and rarity are completely random.

Therefore, it is recommended that you carry a safe pocket, which will ensure that even if you die unexpectedly after looting any eligible item, it will not be lost. After finding the specific item, head to the lower layer of Stella Montis and locate the sandbox in the very center of the map; you may need to zoom in to find it. 

Clicking on it will take you into an open sand room containing two sand vehicles. Remember to take a picture with them to complete your mission. Afterwards, head to Security Checkpoint in the lobby, which is to the right of Security Bridge. However, you will see a line of text blocking your way: Security, Restricted Access.

At this point, you need to go to a room to find a way to open the door. Since you’re currently on the first floor, you need to destroy the door leading to the basement, then find a small office with a long, narrow window. Inside, there’s a three-sided desk with a file on it; interact with it to open the door and leave.

Best Explorable Area & Loot

After introducing all the missions in Stella Montis, let’s take a look at the areas on this map that are most worth exploring and the items worth looting. Although the developers have clearly stated that the rewards in this map will be much higher than before, Medical Research offers the most.

Whether you need sensors, consumables, loadout options, experience points, or coins, you can find them here in large quantities. If you successfully extract from this area, don’t rush to sell all your loot. Instead, research or dismantle it to maximize the economic benefits of these in-game items.

From the above, we can see that the mechanical components, sensors, microscope, and signal amplifier in Stella Montis are the most worthwhile item rewards to cultivate, as they play a crucial role in repairing or upgrading your weapons and character building. Additionally, Geiger Counter item, which can be used to craft Exodus modules and some batteries, is also very important.

Loadout

Finally, we’ll look at the best loadout options for successful exploration on ARC Raiders Stella Montis map. Regarding weapon types, shotguns are preferred here. For example, Vulcano, which is almost invincible in close combat, would be your best helper.

In addition, if your aim is accurate enough, you can grasp the best timing, and you are familiar with the map, Anvil is also a good option. However, given all these prerequisites you need to meet, you might as well invest more of your energy and coins in Vulcano, which can easily eliminate mid-to-long-range enemies for you.

For defensive items, Heavy Shield is recommended, which is different from Medium Shield that most players prefer. Since Heavy Shield provides more damage reduction (52%) than Medium Shield (42%), here prefer to choose those with stronger defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, since Stella Montis is not a very large map, the movement speed reduction from Heavy Shield is also insignificant. Most importantly, PvP will occur very, very frequently on this map, making Heavy Shield much more effective than Medium Shield. Overall, the former is better.

This concludes the guide to all missions and loadout recommendations for the newly added Stella Montis map in ARC Raiders. We hope you enjoy the most thrilling battles and reap the greatest rewards. Happy gaming!

In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Dyrroth has emerged as a terrifying presence for many tank heroes, thanks to his unique mechanics and high burst damage. This abyssal fighter plays a key and irreplaceable role in the game, largely due to his powerful abilities and distinctive combat style.

It's crucial to understand that Dyrroth's late-game potential can significantly diminish if you struggle in the early stages. Falling behind in terms of equipment and level makes it hard to recover. 

As such, timing your battles wisely and being thoroughly prepared is essential. This guide will provide you with all the necessary tips to master Dyrroth and effectively take down his tank rivals.

Skill Analysis

Dyrroth is positioned as a Fighter-type hero in MLBB, known for its excellent armor-breaking ability and powerful single-kill ability. His skill set allows him to perform with ease when facing high-defense heroes, especially Armor reduction effect of his second skill, which can effectively restrain Tank heroes who rely on Armor.

Passive skill: Wrath Of The Abyss

This skill is the core of Dyrroth's combat system. When his Rage accumulates to a certain threshold, his two basic skills Burst Strike and Specter Step will gain enhanced effects.

It is worth noting that after launching several normal attacks, Dyrroth will release Circle Strike, which can not only cause considerable physical damage to surrounding enemies, but also restore its own health based on the damage caused.

In addition, every time a skill hits an enemy hero, the cooldown of the basic skill is reduced. This mechanism allows skilled Dyrrroth players to continue casting skills during combat.

Skill 1: Burst Strike

This skill is Dyrroth's main means of consumption. He launches attacks in the specified direction, causing Physical Damage and additional slowing effects to enemies on the path.

It should be noted that the subsequent damage of this skill to the same target will decrease gradually, and the damage to minions will also be reduced. When a skill is Abyss Enhanced, its attack range will be significantly expanded, and its damage value and slowing effect will also be greatly improved, making it a useful tool for pursuit and escape.

Skill 2: Specter Step

This is Dyrroth's core skill of displacement and armor-breaking. He rushes in the specified direction. When he hits a non-minion unit, he will stop moving and cause damage to the target.

This skill can be used twice to unleash a devastating Fatal Strike, drastically lowering the target's physical defense. Once enhanced by Abyss, the damage increases significantly, and the skill also gains a stronger slow effect and additional Armor reduction, making it a formidable tool for breaking through tank heroes' defenses.

Ultimate: Abysm Strike

As Dyrroth's signature skill, Abysm Strike has the potential to change the situation of the battle. After a short uninterruptible charging period, Dyrroth launches a devastating strike in the specified direction, causing damage based on his own attack power and the percentage of the target's missing health.

This means the lower the enemy's health, the more damage they will take, making it the perfect harvesting skill.

Production Strategy

Dyrroth's build needs to balance damage with a certain amount of durability to ensure he can continue fighting and cut into the enemy's backline.

Rapid Boots are Dyrroth's preferred footwear, especially when paired with Ice Retribution in the jungle. They can effectively increase your movement speed in non-combat situations, making your support faster. But please note that this only requires Ice Retribution to be equipped when playing Jungler.

In addition, Blade of the Heptaseas, as the core output equipment, can significantly enhance the burst damage of the first attack, complementing Dyrroth's skill set.

The killing effect provided by Sky Piercer is highly consistent with Dyrroth's skill characteristics, allowing him to more easily kill targets with residual health.

According to the needs of the battle situation, players should flexibly adjust their equipment strategy. When facing a lineup with high endurance, Sea Halberd will become a must-have equipment in the mid-term; when fighting a lineup with high burst, Malefic Roar or Rose Gold Meteor can improve survivability. In the later stage, Immortality or Wintercrown can be selected to enhance the fault tolerance rate of team battles.

Emblems And Battle Spells

In order to match the above equipment, you can have the following options in terms of Ability Emblems:

• Select Rupture in the first column to improve physical penetration
• In the second column, select Seasoned Hunter or Festival of Blood based on game needs
• The third slot, Lethal Ignition, can provide additional damage, effectively matching the beheading effect

According to different team battle strategies, Dyrroth has the following Battle Spell options:

Combo Skills

The core of Dyrroth's combos lies in Rage management. It is recommended to join the battle when Rage reaches above 50%. You can accumulate Rage in advance by attacking wild monsters or minions, and use the grass to hide your body to find the best opportunity to cut in.

The standard sequence of combos is: use Skill 2 to rush in and trigger the armor-breaking effect, then use Skill 1 to slow down the target, and finally use Ultimate Skill to complete the harvest. Interspersing normal attacks between skill casts can maximize damage output.

It should be noted that Dyrroth's burst damage is enough to deal with most heroes, but you need to be cautious when facing high defense or high recovery tanks such as Uranus and Grock. In addition, ensuring that the equipment does not fall behind is the key to ensuring kill efficiency.

In actual combat, players need to pay special attention to the early development rhythm to avoid unnecessary deaths. After possessing core equipment in the mid-term, Dyrroth will usher in a strong period. At this time, he should actively join the team and use his armor-breaking advantage to create advantages for the team.

Restraint Relationship

Heroic Restraint

Dyrroth will struggle against heroes with flexible movement skills or strong recovery abilities. For example, Esmeralda has continuous consumption ability, Phoveus has flexible mobility, and Guinevere has control skills.

They can effectively limit Dyrroth's performance. Another best choice is Minsitthar, whose ultimate skill can completely block Dyrroth's movement and skill casting, making it an extremely powerful countermeasure.

Equipment Restraint

To counter Dyrroth's high burst damage, the following items can effectively reduce his threat if he becomes your opponent:

• Tank and Fighter can choose Antique Cuirass or Twilight Armor
• Marksman hero recommendation Wind of Nature
• Mages heroes should keep a safe distance and use Winter Crown to slow down their attack if necessary.

All in all, Dyrroth is a warrior hero that requires precise operation and tactical thinking. By mastering his skill mechanism and outfit ideas, and with the right timing to enter the field, he will become the most feared armor-piercing killer on the battlefield.
