MLB The Show 25 Spring Breakout: How To Complete The Program?

As an ARPG, Last Epoch, like Diablo series and Path of Exile 2, has an item crafting system that allows players to craft their own unique equipment. This system is more complex than Diablo 4, but not as luck-dependent as Path of Exile 2.

The items crafting system in Last Epoch has many interesting mechanisms, making the equipment crafting in the game not too cumbersome, but with depth.

The Forge Interface

You can press F to open the item forging interface anytime and anywhere, without having to go to the town to talk to the blacksmith or other NPCs.

You can see that the two sides of the item are divided into prefixes and suffixes, which are the affix slots that items in Last Epoch have for storing attribute modifiers. Each item can have up to two prefixes and two suffixes that can be modified.

• Prefix: Attack Attributes (such as damage, attributes, soldier attributes)
• Suffix: Defense/Useful Other Attributes (such as health, resistance, mana, status effects)

Some items will also have Sealed Affixes. Sealed Affixes are not counted as prefixes and suffixes, and cannot be changed.

Consumables For Forging

You can use the item forging system to add new affixes to items or modify existing affixes. This process does not consume Last Epoch Gold, but consumes the following items: Affix Shards, Glyphs, Runes and Forging Potential (FP).

Forging Potential (FP)

Forging Potential (FP) is a very creative mechanism, which represents how many times an item can be forged. Each time an item is forged, some Forging Potential (FP) is consumed, and this consumption is not fixed.

• When Forging Potential (FP) drops to zero, the item can no longer be forged. However, as long as it has some FP left, you can still forge it.
• Forging Potential of Common and Rare items is usually between 20 and 40 points.
• Forging Potential of Exalted items is usually above 40 points.
• There is a 1 in 4 chance that using Glyph of Hope will not consume any FP, but Glyph of Hope cannot be used on items with zero FP.

Forging Potential is a restriction on items of different qualities. The higher the quality of the item, the higher FP, and the easier it is to forge powerful affixes. This will encourage players to collect higher quality equipment.

Affix Shards

Affix Shards can add the affixes you want to your item, or upgrade the existing affixes of the item. They are the core items in item forging.

• Affix Shards can be got by killing enemies or opening treasure chests
• Use Rune of Shattering to destroy equipment and recycle Affix Shards

Glyphs

Glyphs are your auxiliary tools in the item crafting process, protecting the affixes you want and preventing the item from becoming useless after forging, and you can only use one Glyph per forging.

• Glyph of Hope: 25% chance to avoid FP consumption.
• Glyph of Order: Keep the affix value when upgrading the level.
• Glyph of Chaos: Randomly changes one affix to another.
• Glyph of Despair: Seals an affix, allowing a fifth affix to be added.
• Glyph of Envy: Changes all properties except the affix being upgraded.

Runes

Rune effects are more direct than Glyphs, and can greatly affect the crafting results of an item, while also being extremely rare. Some Runes can be found at vendors, and are very valuable, requiring tens of thousands of Last Epoch Gold to unlock.

• Rune of Shattering: Destroy an item and return the fragments.
• Rune of Removal: Removes a random affix from an item.
• Rune of Discovery: Adds a random Tier1 affix to an empty slot.
• Rune of Refinement: Rerolls all affix values.
• Rune of Shaping: Rerolls the base item’s implied stats.
• Rune of Ascendance: Converts a normal item to a random unique/set item of the same type.
• Rune of Creation: Duplicates an item, but FP becomes 0 on both items.
• Rune of Havoc: Rearrange the affix tiers on an Exalted item using 4 unsealed affixes.
• Rune of Redemption: Change an Exalted affix to a different affix (same Tier/roll).
• Rune of Weaving: Convert remaining Weaver’s Will/Touch into affix progress.

Advanced Item Crafting

Exalted Items

Each Exalted Item has at least one Tier 6 or 7 affix. These affixes are purple affixes that cannot be got through crafting, but they could be used to craft legendary items.

If an Exalted Item has a good affix, but it’s not what you need, you can trade it for a lot of gold.

Legendary Potential (LP)

Some Legendary items or set items have Legendary Potential (LP), which means they can transfer purple affixes from Exalted Items.

• LP 1: Only 1 affix can be transferred
• LP 3: Up to 3 affixes can be transferred

Each time you transfer an Exalted Item, the affixes are random, so you’d better make sure that most of the affixes in Exalted Items are what you need.

Woven Echoes

Woven Enchanting in Season 2 allows you to upgrade Class Idols. You can add appropriate affixes to your Idols on Woven Enchanter altar.

Idols do not have Forging Potential, so you can modify them repeatedly until you have the affixes you need.

Set Bonus Affixes

An important change in Season 2 is that sets can be destroyed and affixes extracted. The method of using Set Bonus Affixes is the same as Affix Shards, but Set Bonus Affixes can also be used on exalted items, but not on items with Legendary Potential.

The above is the item crafting method in Last Epoch Season 2. If you want to customize an item that suits your class, you not only need to prepare sufficient resources, but also a little bit of luck sometimes.

86 OVR Topps Now Luke Keaschall

Our first Luke is a second baseman from Twins. He is a good swinger with great contact both ways, but his power is a little lacking. Luke Keaschall’s strength lies in his fast baserunning speed and he is also very good at stealing bases. It’s a pity that this card does not have Quirk.

86 OVR Topps Now Agustin Ramirez

Another 86 OVR player sent out this time is Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez, who can also play as a first baseman. Agustin Ramirez’s contact and power attributes in his swing are both excellent. On defense, his stealing and baserunning are a little worse than his swing, but they are still okay.

89 OVR Spotlight Series Brendan Donovan

The first 89 OVR player is Brendan Donovan, the second baseman from Cardinals. Brendan Donovan is a versatile player on the field. He can also play first base, third base, shortstop, and left and right outfield. He has good vision attributes and is very good at hitting pitches from the right-hand pitchers.

In addition, this card is very good at defense, and his defensive stats are very high. Currently, 89 OVR Spotlight Series Brendan Donovan ranks eighth among second basemen.

89 OVR Spotlight Series Luke Weaver

This card is the second free Luke. Luke Weaver is a relief pitcher from Yankees. Although his Stamina attribute is not very high, his other pitching attributes are very good. Among them, his H/9 score is as high as 125! This card is currently ranked sixth among relief pitchers.

90 OVR Spotlight Series Pete Alonso

90 OVR’s Pete Alonso is a Mets’ first baseman, and is ranked 6th among first basemen in MLB The Show 25. He is the team’s slugger, with strong contact and power attributes. And this card has 7 quirks!

1. Homebody
2. First-Pitch Hitter
3. Dead Red
4. Fighter
5. Rally Monkey
6. Bad Ball Hitter
7. Table Setter

91 OVR Spotlight Series Wyatt Langford

91 OVR’s Wyatt Langford is a left fielder from Rangers, and can also play center and right field. He has 4 quirks, but his attributes are average, and his strength lies in defense. Wyatt Langford’s defensive stats are all top-notch, and he also has a fast baserunning speed.

• As a left fielder, he ranks 17th.
• As a right fielder, he ranks 16th.
• As a center fielder, he ranks 13th.

The three dungeons in Last Epoch are one of the endgame features. You can repeatedly explore dungeons to get rewards. Each dungeon has a unique mechanic. Besides the regular experience and gold, you can also get unique items and even legendary items.

Players are advised to understand the mechanics and rewards of each dungeon before entering it.

Dungeon Mechanics

Each of the three dungeons in Last Epoch requires a different key to unlock, and each has a different mechanic.

Lightless Arbor

• Location: Ruined Era, Near The Surface Waypoint
• Key: Lightless Arbor Key
• Boss: The Mountain Beneath
• Mechanic: Burning Amber
• Main Element: Poison
• Reward system: Vault of Uncertain Fate

Lightless Arbor is a dungeon without natural light sources. You need to control Burning Amber as your light source to explore the dungeon. Any enemy outside of the light source will become very dangerous, so you should try to lure the enemy into the light source before fighting.

If your light source is exhausted, you can reactivate it by killing Amber Elemental.

Soulfire Bastion

• Location: Imperial Era, Near The Felled Wood Waypoint
• Key: Soulfire Bastion Key
• Boss: Fire Lich Cremorus
• Mechanic: Soulfire Souls and Soulfire Shield
• Main Element: Fire and Necrotic
• Reward system: Soul Gambler

The special mechanic of Soulfire Bastion is Soulfire Shield. Depending on the color of Soulfire Shield, it can resist Fire or Necrotic damage. You can use it to resist the boss’s skills, but each time you use Soulfire Shield, it will consume the souls you find in the dungeon.

Temporal Sanctum

• Location: Ruined Era, Near The Ruined Coast Waypoint
• Key: Temporal Sanctum Key
• Boss: Chronomancer Julra
• Mechanic: Temporal Shift
• Main Element: Poison and Void
• Reward system: Eternity Cache

The Temporal Sanctum mechanics are very interesting. You can switch back and forth between Ruined Era and Divine Era to avoid enemies, pass obstacles, and even boss attacks. But there are different enemies waiting for you in both eras, so don’t take it lightly.

Dungeon Key

You need the corresponding key to enter the three dungeons. As long as you have enough keys, you can challenge the dungeons repeatedly. Each key is equivalent to an extra health bar in the dungeon. Once you die while exploring the dungeon, you can choose to consume a key to revive on the spot. Therefore, it is recommended that you prepare a few keys in advance before challenging the dungeon.

If you are playing with other friends, only one of you needs to have the key to enter the dungeon, but if you die in the dungeon, you will be sent out of the dungeon and your friends can continue exploring. Here are some tips for challenging dungeons:

• Choose the right difficulty, and don’t choose a difficulty you can’t handle.
• Consider what rewards you need, and if you can’t handle the enemies or boss behind, it’s best to retreat in advance.
• Stay alert and focused in the dungeon.
• Avoid being surrounded by numerous small enemies.
• Adjust the corresponding resistance before entering the dungeon.

If you don’t want to explore the dungeon, you can also use Portal Charm to teleport you directly to the boss’ battle area.

Here are the three main ways to get dungeon keys:

• Monolith of Fate: The timeline boss of Monolith of Fate usually drops the dungeon key.
• Killing enemies: During the game, the key will randomly drop from the enemy, but the probability is not high.
• Arena of Champion: Arena of Champion will also drop the dungeon key, but the probability of the key appearing is also not high.

Dungeon Rewards

The rewards for the three dungeons vary greatly, and the final rewards will also change at different difficulties. The three bosses will drop different loot at different difficulties, and the higher the difficulty, the richer the loot dropped.

The Mountain Beneath:

• Tier 1+: Peak of the Mountain (Unique Helmet)
• Tier 2+: Foot of the Mountain (Unique Boots)
• Tier 3+: Face of the Mountain (Unique Shield)
• Tier 4+: Core of the Mountain (Unique Body)

After you defeat The Mountain Beneath, besides unique items, you will also be able to open the Vault of Uncertain Fate, where you can use Last Epoch Gold to get rewards. The more gold you have, the richer the rewards you can get.

Fire Lich Cremorus:

• Tier 1+: Ashes of Mortality (Unique Ring)
• Tier 2+: Lich’s Envy (Set Item Gloves)
• Tier 3+: Immolator’s Oblation (Unique Belt)
• Tier 4+: Pyre of Affliction (Unique Two-Handed Axe/Scythe)

After defeating Fire Lich Cremorus, you will encounter a Soul Gambler. You can gamble with him with your remaining souls. If you have enough souls, you can even take his entire cargo, but Soul Gambler does not accept gold.

Chronomancer Julra:

• Tier 1+: Julra’s Stardial (Unique Ring)
• Tier 2+: Somnia (Unique Helmet)
• Tier 3+: Julra’s Obsession (Unique Gloves)
• Tier 4+: Vessel of Strife (Unique Relic)

In addition to the regular experience and gold rewards, you also have the right to craft a legendary item once. You need to put in a unique item with legendary potential and an Exalted item of the same type with at least 1 unsealed affix.

This forging will transfer the affixes of the exalted item to the unique item with legendary potential. The greater the legendary potential, the more affixes will be transferred.

The above is a general introduction to the mechanisms and rewards of the three dungeons. The affixes of the three dungeons will change every day, making them always have a certain difficulty, so that players have the desire to challenge repeatedly, which is an excellent design.

Once you enter the endgame phase in Last Epoch, not only will the game mechanics become more complex and difficult, you will also encounter more dangerous bosses. Sometimes these bosses are even closely related to each other - you must defeat one to find the next higher-level boss.

Take Harbinger Of Hatred as an example. Only by defeating him can you move on to challenge the pinnacle boss Aberroth, but to unlock the encounter with Harbinger Of Hatred, you need to kill the final boss Rahyeh in The Black Sun timeline. Based on this, we will give you a priority to introduce you to how to defeat this “intermediary” boss.

How To Unlock The Fight?

Of course, as we have already mentioned, you must defeat Rahyeh first, and then the probability of Harbinger Of Hatred appearing is related to your Corruption level. Corruption is a special mechanic in Monolith of Fate system. The more Corruption you have, the more dangerous the enemies you encounter will be, but they will also provide more rewards.

Harbinger of Hatred begins appearing when you have 100 corruptions, and a new difficulty level unlocks for every 25 corruptions (up to a cap of 300 corruptions). To get as much Last Epoch Gold as possible from Harbinger of Hatred, as well as other rewards, you’ll need to clear the normal versions of the timelines Spirits of Fire, The Last Ruin, and The Age of Winter.

How To Deal With The Fight?

Before you start fighting Harbinger of Hatred, you must defeat Rahyeh, The Black Sun in the same fight, as it can be tricky to deal with both bosses at once. Harbinger of Hatred is a tanky boss that defends itself by absorbing damage and negating your AOE attacks, so you’ll need to be on the move and fully aware of its attack patterns to defeat it.

The boss’s weakness is that there’s a vulnerable gap between two powerful attacks, which is when you can deal with damage. Here are all of its attacks and how to deal with them.

1. Tank Slam

The boss will use this skill to form a cone-shaped ground slam that will cause physical damage to you. When this skill is activated, the boss will raise the hammer, which can be used as a sign to sidestep to avoid the attack.

2. Massive Tank Slam

This skill has a larger range of slams and will be accompanied by a red warning, which will cause severe physical damage to you. The way to deal with it is to quickly move out of the red warning area to avoid the attack.

3. Tank Echo Slam

Harbinger Of Hatred and its echoes use this skill to launch a series of slams at you, sending out physical and void damage lines. You need to place yourself between the echo lines as much as possible to avoid the related damage.

4. Tank Void Combo

The boss will launch three consecutive weapon swings, which will bring powerful ground slams. To avoid this attack, you must stay away from the boss during the combo and re-engage after the last slam.

5. Tank Void Orbs

This skill allows the boss to summon lingering orbs that deal void damage when they come into contact with you. To avoid them, you must keep moving and avoid hitting these orbs.

6. Tank Void Portal Blast

When this skill is activated, the boss will open a portal and smash it through with his hammer, dealing physical and void damage to you. Therefore, when the portal appears, you must immediately move away from the portal to avoid the attack.

7. Tank Void Rush

Harbinger Of Hatred will rush forward with this skill and deal physical and void damage to you. The damage caused by this boss skill can be dodged laterally.

8. Tank Void Turrets

The boss will use this skill to deploy orbs that will shoot void projectiles at you in a straight line. To avoid this attack, you need to stay as far away from the line of fire of the turrets deployed by the boss as possible.

Best Gear And Modifiers

After understanding Harbinger Of Hatred’s combat skills, you also need to equip reliable gear and modifiers to make your Last Epoch character more powerful in order to easily deal with this boss. I believe you have already discovered that this boss mainly causes physical and void damage, so the following types of gear and modifiers will be more targeted:

Gear:

• Void Resistance
• Movement Speed ​​and Mobility Skills
• Health and Armor

Echo Modifiers:

• Avoid
• Take

What Rewards Can You Get After Completing The Fight?

After defeating Harbinger Of Hatred, in addition to basic gold or XP, you will also get some unique items, and rewards related to Forgotten Knight Faction, including:

• World Splitter: A powerful two-handed axe favored by Void Knight.
• Harbinger’s Needle: A consumable idol that can be equipped and used to defeat empowered timeline bosses to gain an additional Gaze of Orobyss - allowing you to gain more Corruption when defeating Shade of Orobyss.
• Harbinger Eye: Essential for summoning the pinnacle boss Aberroth.

If you find this information useful, enter the game now to unlock and complete this exciting boss battle! Good luck!

Legendary third baseman Scott Rolen was inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame in 2023. On April 25, MLB The Show 25 released a new program, Rolen & The Reds Program, with Scott Rolen theme to commemorate Scott Rolen’s career with Reds.

99 OVR Scott Rolen was also added to the game on April 23. He is a reward for Legends and Flashbacks Collection.

Rolen & The Reds Program Rewards

1. 5 Points: 79 OVR Last Ride Jim Edmonds
2. 10 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack
3. 15 Points: 5,000 XP
4. 20 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack
5. 25 Points: 5,000 XP
6. 30 Points: 87 OVR All-Star Scott Rolen
7. 35 Points: 5,000 XP
8. 40 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack
9. 45 Points: 5,000 XP
10. 50 Points: 90 OVR Contributor Johnny Cueto

Although Rolen & The Reds Program rewards do not include MLB The Show 25 Stubs, the three cards included in the rewards are all very valuable!

79 OVR Last Ride Jim Edmonds

This card is a silver card from Last Ride series, and is played as a center fielder. Jim Edmonds can play as a hitter, but his attributes are not high. Jim Edmonds is ranked 49th among all center fielders as a center fielder. With 9 Quirks, he is even better than some Diamond cards in some cases.

87 OVR All-Star Scott Rolen

87 OVR Scott Rolen is a weaker version of 99 OVR Scott Rolen, but still a powerful card. The difference from 99 OVR Scott Rolen is that 87 OVR Scott Rolen comes from Reds.

This card can be used as a hitter, but it is not his strong point. 87 OVR Scott Rolen has a Fielding data of 81, and Arm Strength and Arm Accuracy are both above 80. And with 6 Quirks, this card becomes the 16th ranked third baseman.

90 OVR Contributor Johnny Cueto

90 OVR Johnny Cueto also comes from Reds, and he is a starting pitcher. Johnny Cueto played as a pitcher for Reds from 2008 to 2015. As a rookie, Johnny Cueto led Reds to victory against Arizona Diamondbacks. His performance was not stable in the following years, but he gradually regained his winning touch in 2014 and 2015.

90 OVR Johnny Cueto ranks 13th among starting pitchers. Here are his pitching statistics:

• Stamina: 96
• H/9: 85
• K/9: 73
• BB/9: 92
• HR/9: 90
• Pitch Clutch: 85
• Control: 80
• Velocity: 88
• Break: 87

These data are already very good among pitchers, but unfortunately this card does not have any Quirks, otherwise his ranking can continue to rise.

How To Complete Program?

• Complete 6 Moments. (30 Points - 5 Points each)
• Get 500 PXP with Scott Rolen, who has an overall rating of 87. (10 Points)
• Get 750 PXP with Phillies players. (5 Points)
• Get 750 PXP with Cardinals players. (5 Points)
• Get 750 PXP with Blue Jays players. (5 Points)
• Get 750 PXP with Reds players. (5 Points)

It is not so hard to complete this program. Players from several teams are not difficult to get rewards. If you are short of a player from a certain team, you only need to spend a dozen stubs to get a player you need. In addition, you can put players from Phillies, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Reds into the same team, so you can complete the progress of 4 tasks at the same time.

In addition, as long as you use players from these teams, you can increase Team Affinity progress and get Jolt Vouchers. Jolt Voucher is one of the requirements to get 99 OVR Scott Rolen. Here are all the requirements for 99 OVR Scott Rolen.

• 91 OVR Honus Wagner: 12 20th Anniversary Cards
• 90 OVR Jacob deGrom: Egg Hunt Collection
• 90 OVR John Donaldson: Negro Leagues Collection
• 89 OVR Anthony Santander: New Threads Collection

• Veteran Series Voucher: 19 Veteran cards (90.5%)
• 2nd Half Heroes Series Voucher: 16 2nd Half Heroes cards (94.1%)

For most players, it is still very difficult to meet all the requirements of 99 OVR Scott Rolen. For example, 6 Cornerstone cards require you to complete all Cornerstone Programs in March and April. Perhaps only some loyal fans of this series can quickly get this paper card.

For other players, getting this card now will consume a lot of stubs. It is recommended to wait for a month or two, when you gradually meet all the conditions, and then you can get this card.

The above is all about Rolen & The Reds Program. The difficulty of this program is not high, and the reward cards are also very valuable. It is highly recommended that you complete this program.

MLB The Show 25’s Last Ride Program is a program for the last season of several legendary baseball players. The players to be commemorated in Last Ride Program are Mike Mussina, who chose to retire after achieving 20 wins in a single season in 2008, and David Ortiz, who still ranked first in the league in slugging percentage and overall offensive index before retirement.

Last Ride Program is similar to other programs. You still need to complete tasks and accumulate points to unlock rewards. Besides the regular XP and stubs rewards, this time the rewards also include 87 OVR Last Ride Mike Mussina and 88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz.

Last Ride Program Rewards

1. 5 Points: 1,000 XP
2. 10 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack
3. 15 Points: 250 Stubs
4. 20 Points: 1,000 XP
5. 25 Points: 2,000 XP, 87 OVR Last Ride Mike Mussina
6. 30 Points: 250 MLB The Show 25 Stubs
7. 35 Points: 1,000 XP
8. 40 Points: MLB The Show 25 pack (x2)
9. 45 Points: 2,000 XP
10. 50 Points: 3,000 XP, 88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz

87 OVR Last Ride Mike Mussina

Mike Mussina is a leading right-handed pitcher for Yankees. Mike Mussina throws many different kinds of pitches. His four-seam fastball dropped to 84-88 mph (about 135-142 km) at the end of his career. His actual pitches include two-seam fastballs, forkballs, sliders, changeups, curveballs, etc., and the snap curveball, which is considered his best pitch. He would use the angle of his elbow to conceal the pitch during the game. For example, he would deliberately lower his side hand position to cover up the low starting position when throwing a rising ball.

As his condition declined near retirement, this is also reflected in his card. His H/9 and K/9 attributes are not high, but his other data are still at a good level. He currently ranks 22nd among all starting pitchers, which is a very good card.

88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz

David Ortiz is a first baseman or designated hitter for Red Sox, nicknamed Big Papi. He set the record for the most home runs hit by all hitters in the last year of their careers in major league history. He is a member of the 500 home run club and was inducted into Hall of Fame when he first became eligible.

In addition to the above achievements, he is most remembered by Boston fans for his many key hits, especially in the playoffs. During his time with Red Sox, his OPS in the playoffs was as high as 0.969.

David Ortiz is a left-handed hitter. His contact attributes are good for both sides, and his right hand power is very strong, but this is not the actual strength of David Ortiz. He also has 7 Quirks, which greatly increases the upper limit of this card. Currently, 88 OVR David Ortiz ranks ninth among first basemen.

How To Get Points?

You need to complete 6 Moments and 4 Missions to reach 50 points to unlock 88 OVR Last Ride David Ortiz.

Moments

• Complete three moments with Mike Mussina (15 points - 5 points each)
• Complete three moments with David Ortiz (15 points - 5 points each)

Missions

• Pitch 10 innings with a Yankees’ pitcher (5 points)
• Get 15 hits with Red Sox players (5 points)
• Gain 500 PXP with a Last Ride Series pitcher (5 points)
• Gain 500 PXP with a Last Ride Series batter (5 points)

The difficulty of this mission is to gain PXP with a Last Ride Series batter, as it seems that there are not many batters in Last Ride Series, and if you fail to complete this mission, you will only have 45 points and cannot unlock David Ortiz.

MLB 25 certainly won't give you an impossible mission. Adrian Beltre, 79 OVR, is a third baseman who can also hit, and he can help with this last task, and Athletics' Joe Morgan also meets the requirements with his overall rating of 64. However, neither card can be obtained through stub trading.

• Mike Mussina (87 OVR, SP): Acquired through Last Ride Program.
