Each new league in Path of Exile brings some new content to players, which will not change the entire storyline of the original game, but will allow you to experience some different game feelings. In the current Settlers of Kalguur League, you can experience the joy of business management in a town called Kingsmarch.

In Kingsmarch, all you need to do is use some mechanisms in this town to make it more prosperous to create more wealth for you. If you are a player who likes to skip the dialogue and enter the game directly, then the explanation of how Kingsmarch works in this guide will be very useful to you. Come and take a look!

When you enter Settlers of Kalguur League, you need to complete a short prologue by the beach, and then you can go to Lioneye’s Watch and embark on the journey to unlock Kingsmarch. On the right side of Lioneye’s Watch, you will see Johan, King’s Hand.

You need to have a brief conversation with him, and then you can go to Kingsmarch. Here is a reminder that, after unlocking, you can place Johan in your hideout for subsequent exploration. But when you visit Kingsmarch again, you don’t need to interact with him. You can use any waypoint on the map to get there.

As a small town, Kingsmarch will provide you with different resources for farming or gathering. You can use these resources as cargo for shipping, or as trading items for $1. These resources are mainly distributed in three different areas around Kingsmarch, and unlocking resources is not smooth sailing. You need to fight. Additionally, nodes where each resource can be harvested will be displayed on the map, allowing you to find the resources you need according to the nodes.

The first thing to introduce is Mining. All resources in this part are distributed on the left side of Kingsmarch. You can find Crimson Iron Ore, Orichalcum Ore, Petrified Amber Ore, Bismuth Ore and Verisium Ore in this place. After you collect some ores, you can do Smelting on the right side of Kingsmarch. You can smelt the above ores in Crimson Iron Bar, Orichalcum Bar, Petrified Amber Bar, Bismuth Bar and Verisium Bar.

Here you need to be reminded that the value of Bar will be higher than Ore. If you want to create more funds for town construction, you can let your workers smelt immediately after collecting Ore. Finally, the foundation of the town is Farming. You can grow Wheat, Corn, Pumpkin, Orgourd and Blue Zanthimum on the farm in the north of Kingsmarch, all of which can be used as traded goods.

In Kingsmarch, the most important thing is the workers, because only they can make the whole town run. So how do you unlock and hire these workers? First you need to go to the main tavern area and talk to Faustus, Johan, and Raulf there. At this time, you can unlock the function of hiring workers.

In the interface where you select the workers you want to hire, you will see a symbol next to each worker, which represents what the worker is good at. For example, a worker with a pickaxe icon means that he is good at mining, so you can send him to some mines.

Here is a tip for you: try to let some workers with expertise do what they are good at. This will save you Gold as their salary, and they can also get you the most resources.

Read More: $1

Just said that Gold is used to paying workers, but it is also the main POE currency for building Kingsmarch. Fortunately, its farming method is relatively simple, just need to defeat some enemies or clear some maps.

After you have Gold, you can add them to Kingsmarch treasury so you can find them as you build your Kingsmarch the circular button with a scroll bar that appears above the skills on the screen. Also, here you can see how much you currently have and how much storage the treasury has left, and even what time the workers will be paid and when Gold runs out.

After you have selected the workers you want to hire and prepared their wages, you can start to assign and dispatch your workers. Taking Mining as an example, when you move to Mining area on the screen, you will see a Mining Information board, on which you can see the number of ores currently marked and the number of workers mining the ores.

As mentioned earlier, when resources are available for harvesting, the nodes will remain marked until the workers you dispatch start working. You can select the specific area where the workers will go and some idle workers who have not yet started working by clicking Manage Workers button. It should be reminded that there is no window for worker information for Farming, only a window to see the availability of farmland. This window works in the same way as the rest of the mechanism, but each farmland can only grow one crop.

Once you are familiar with the above Kingsmarch mechanism, you can slowly make the town prosperous. I hope that this town will gradually become a strong trading town with your correct strategy, and can help you a lot in Settlers of Kalguur League!

Diablo 4’s 2.0 update was released on Public Test Realm (PTR) from September 4 to 11. The changes were mainly to address players’ dissatisfaction with the current leveling system, and introduced some new features and some new Mythic Unique weapons, so that some players felt that this was almost like a brand new game.

An important role of PTR is to collect player feedback and provide information for Diablo 4 to be updated before the official launch. For players who love Diablo 4, they should also be aware of the upcoming changes. Let’s take a detailed look at what new changes are in Diablo 4 2.0 update.

Diablo 4’s Nightmare Dungeons and Pit of the Artificer now offer players new rewards, and some players have expressed their excitement about the improvements to the current reward system. The major highlights of these changes are that Nightmare Dungeons are a great place to collect Masterwork Materials, and Pit of the Artificer offers Glyph upgrades.

Originally, Glyph upgrades were a feature that players accessed through Nightmare Dungeons, which makes the player experience too tedious. Now, Glyph upgrades are given as rewards for completing certain tiers of Pit.

The number of Glyph upgrades depends on the difference between Glyph and Pit Tier. If Pit Tier is higher than Glyph level, then the number of Glyph upgrades you get for one upgrade is greater. This both fixes Diablo 4’s current frustrating Glyph upgrade system and gives players more reasons to make Pit runs.

In addition, a new Paragon Points system has been introduced in Diablo 4, which will make the game experience of Diablo 4 less monotonous. Previously, players needed to earn Paragon Points for a single character, but with 2.0 update, players will share points between all characters in the same realm, making it easier to complete the game’s endgame activities for characters other than the first one. In addition, Paragon Points have been renamed Paragon Levels.

Paragon Levels are now completely independent of individual character levels. In 2.0 update, the level cap for characters has been lowered to level 60, and progress after that will be achieved by increasing Paragon Levels.

Since these levels are shared between characters, players can help new characters reach the level cap of 60 more quickly, and then continue to increase Paragon Levels. The entire system is being overhauled, but players won’t lose any progress either. Because even for characters that are already above level 60, patch 2.0 will convert any additional levels players earn into realm-wide Paragon Levels.

New Mythic Unique items are also introduced in Diablo 4 2.0. This update will add Heir of Perdition, Shroud of False Death, and Shattered Vow. They are new Mythic Uniques for all classes.

Heir of Perdition is a helmet that deals 200% more damage to angels and demons, while also increasing critical or lucky hit, base movement speed, and all Core Skills. It also has an ability that allows the player to increase damage by 60% and gain Mother’s Favor and $1 from allies for killing enemies.

Shroud of False Death is a chest armor that provides a +1 bonus to all passive skills. It also increases All Stats by +111, Max Life by +222, increases damage by 333% on the first attack after entering invisibility, and generates 11.1% more resources. It also allows the player to become invisible if they haven’t attacked for two seconds, while also increasing movement speed. This makes it perfect for players who move in and out of combat flexibly.

Shattered Vow is a polearm that deals 400% additional base damage to healthy enemies, significantly increases maximum health and damage over time, and provides a slight attack speed boost when entering a berserk state. Using this weapon will also grant Lucky Hit and a 44.4% chance to trigger Berserking.

Many old players of Diablo 4 feel that 2.0 update makes the game feel like a new game, which is essentially closer to Diablo 3. This may be because of the large number of players who have given favorable feedback on Diablo 3. This does not seem to be a bad thing, at least it is more in line with player expectations.

From PTR that has been launched, it seems that players’ response to the upcoming updates of Diablo 4 seems to be very positive, and they are very grateful for the development team’s willingness to address community complaints. For any players who want to provide further feedback on these changes, now is an important time to share your thoughts after checking PTR to ensure that the final version can better meet player expectations.

Overall, the launch of Diablo 4 2.0 update in PTR seems to have been widely recognized by players. These changes not only address players’ dissatisfaction with the current system, but also introduce some exciting new features and items. Many players think that this update brings the game closer to their favorite Diablo 3, which is undoubtedly a positive sign.

With the hot development of Diablo 4 Season 5, many players are also looking forward to the upcoming Season 6 and DLC on October 8. However, the recent Diablo 4 2.0 Public Test Realm has satisfied the curiosity of many players.

In the database of this test, players found several new items, which are similar to the key items for unlocking Secret Cow Level and Whimsyshire mechanism in Diablo 3. Although these items may only appear in the previous Easter Eggs or Red Herrings event, most players still think that this is an important clue for them to find that Secret Cow Level will return in the new Diablo 4 DLC.

In fact, since June last year, rumors that Secret Cow Level will return to Diablo 4 have been constantly. Although they have found countless clues related to it, there is no direct counterpart to prove that this mechanism is coming.

However, the players who love Diablo 4 have found some clues about Secret Cow Level and Whimsyshire because of their curiosity and enthusiasm for the new DLC.

Recently, Wowhead shared some new items found in Diablo 4 through D4 secret-finding Discord. It has to be said that in various aspects, they can easily evoke players’ memories of those items in Diablo 3 that can unlock the way to the private secret areas of individuals.

For example, the description of Rusted Bardiche seems to echo Bovine Bardiche. After Bovine Bardiche is transformed through Kanai’s Cube, it can lead to Not The Cow Level in Diablo 3.

In addition to Rusted Bardiche, the description of Rusted Old Bell, Crooked Staff, and Jabbering Gemstone all show a similar sense of echo. They look similar to Wirt’s Bell, Staff of Herding, and Gibbering Gemstone, respectively. To enter Whimsyshire, you need the three $1 mentioned above, which are often referred to as Pony Level.

This weapon, which smells like feces and is obviously rotten and difficult to use, makes you ask yourself whether you really want to choose it? This item has something in common with Diablo 3’s Bovine Bardiche, which can unlock Diablo 3’s Not The Cow Level.

This once-significant weapon engraved with a W is now bloodstained, dilapidated, and its inner power has faded with the passage of time. It reminds me of Wirt’s Bell in Diablo 3, which can help you enter Whimsyshire.

The remains of a staff whose magical power has disappeared. It is now dilapidated. Staff of Herding in Diablo 3, which helps you enter Whimsyshire, seems to be a reference to this.

It is shaped like a cloud and has the effect of making you want to communicate with others. Although it was once very valuable, it is no longer valuable now. It refers to Gibbering Gemstone in Diablo 3 that helps players enter Whimsyshire.

Originally, Secret Cow Level was just a hoax created by the game fans in the original Diablo. However, when the developers added Easter eggs in Diablo: Hellfire expansion and StarCraft, Secret Cow Level gradually became a tacit joke within the gaming community.

It later appeared in the official game content of Diablo 2 in the form of Moo Moo Farm, and then even appeared again in World of WarCraft during Diablo 20th anniversary event.

Diablo 3 also combined this game format with the rainbow-filled Whimsyshire realm, although Not The Cow Level was also added for the game’s third anniversary.

Although this underground legend or something similar has not been found in Diablo 4, players still found clues while exploring the game. Some players found Forlorn Hovel in Diablo 4 by killing cows. According to their experience, some equipment items from the original keys to Secret Cow Level will drop in the game after killing cows.

There are also a group of players who try to perform purification rituals at mysterious ox statues or look for parts that look like cow heads on the map. Although Diablo 4 has tried hard to deny the existence of Secret Cow Level, it has accelerated the speed at which players can find its traces.

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred will be launched on October 8th, meeting players as the first series of DLC for Diablo 4. If, as most players expect, the game developers add Secret Cow Level to DLC, then on the one hand, DLC may contain the final answers to various previous speculations about Secret Cow Level, which will naturally lead to the method of truly entering Secret Cow Level in Diablo 4; on the other hand, there may also be related required items in Diablo 4 Season 5 to help players get a smoother gaming experience in Secret Cow Level of DLC.

Diablo 4 Season 5 has updated a new world events titled Hellbreaches and earn a pretty generous rewards of high rarity once accomplishing this hard challenge. Moreover, those significant seasonal items can be farmed from Hellbreaches as well during the period of finishing them repeatedly.

If you want to add better equipment and configuration to your character, then it is a great deal to participate in those world events like Hellbreaches, which can offer you dreamed weapons and those Unique items of high rarity.

Hellbreaches refer to the prelude to the new Infernal Hordes mode in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hellbreaches do not appear randomly, players can find their fixed locations on the game map that you can head to. It bears much similarity to Nightmare Dungeons than those powerful world bosses or Helltides within the game.

This article is about Hellbreaches, with its location, the way to complete it being contained.

There are three Hellbreaches reside on a seasonal map, below is the introduction of their specific location and the nearest waypoint.

You may discover that there are several waypoints that can not be accessed to. Under this circumstance, players need to destroy Strongholds within a region in the game to unlock them. The more areas like Strongholds being liberated, the easier that you can get access to access Hellbreaches in Sanctuary.

In the questline of Season 5, Hellbreaches can be completed at any time, that is, if you are weak in the early game, if you think it is too difficult to complete this world event, then you can temporarily put it aside, and then continue to improve your strength and harvest equipment in the following game journey.

When you have enough strength and more powerful builds, you can challenge Hellbreaches again. Of course, you can also choose to use $1 directly before the challenge of embracing those rare items or improve the strength of your equipments.

Hellbreaches only can be found in World Tiers 1 and 2, while Infernal Hordes featured of hard difficulty can only be approached in World Tier 3 and 4. But both of them share the same gameplay, which players are required to defeat waves of enemies quickly. After slaying one wave, you can choose to enhance the difficulty of the next one until the boss makes an appearance.

Once players enter Sanctuary at Level 1 (in either World Tier 1 or 2) they will receive the seasonal questline of “Of Lambs and Wolves”. This questline serves as the symbol to start the journey of Season 5 narrative, telling the story to players of the nature of Locran, Triune Cult, and Mother’s Gift.

The difficulty of enemies is proportional to the value of rewards. So don’t be discouraged when you encounter those very difficult enemies, because it often means that there will be very generous rewards waiting for you to receive.

As mentioned above, players will have multiple opportunities to try to complete Hellbreaches. Each time you start Hellbreaches, you will be asked to complete different tasks and an objective you must follow, just like the way of some dungeons occur within the game.

These objectives are very wide-ranging, ranging from collecting the demanded items to defeating enemies approaching to a powerful structure that serves the sources of power to them. After each goal being accomplishing, there will be new challenges waiting for you to complete. You can also make the challenges more difficult in certain ways in exchange for more valuable rewards.

The type of rewards offered by a Hellbreach are determined by Burning Aether you have collected from enemy waves. When challenging powerful enemies, players will have a greater chance of getting more Aether or rarer Aether that will drop as you meet objectives throughout the seasonal dungeons. Other items of high rarity tied to Season 5 could also be dropped as additional rewards from Hellbreaches, such as Mother’s Gifts.

Once conquering this hard journey of a Hellbreach dungeon, Spoils of Hell or Spoils of Gold chests will be available, but it will cost you a certain amount of Burning Aether in exchange to open it. Under the normal situation, three chests will be provided for players, ranging from low, medium, to high rarity. Rare Legendary items, even Unique gear introduced in Season 5 could be found there.

The above is the relevant content about Hellbreaches in Diablo 4 Season 5. As a new world event that is worth participating in, it can not only bring you rich rewards but also accumulate relevant game experience. As another Seasonal Mechanic in Season 5 besides Infernal Hordes and Mother’s Gift Reputation, it is very worthwhile for all players to participate. Thanks for reading.

Diablo 4 Season 5 has introduced a handful of permanent Uniques, Umbracrux Dagger remains one of them with significant power in the game and has contributed a perfect match when pairing it with Rogue class.

Since Umbracrux Dagger serves as a powerful weapon, Besides several stat boosts that will improve the performance of your character, this item will also help you to summon spectral allies to further provide assistance to fight against those tricky enemies in Sanctuary.

It is generally believed that Umbracrux Dagger remains the best Uniques for Rogues in the current environment.

This article will provide detailed information on how to obtain Umbracrux Dagger and the best way to use it in order to better utilize its performance and help you deal with those tough bosses.

Players can obtain Umbracrux Dagger by participating in some specific seasonal You can find this rare item by visiting world chests, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, or any places in Sanctuary that promise loot as a reward. Of course, if you’re desperate for an item that is in need, you can also embrace it directly by devoting some $1.

But the best way to get it is the rewards of Infernal Hordes introduced in Season 5. But before that, you need to collect Infernal Compasses, which will help unlock this mode, under which you will fight against waves of powerful Infernal Hordes. They usually drop some items of high value and rarity, serving as a good channel to get the dreamed Umbracrux Dagger.

The odds of dropping Umbracrux Dagger vary depending on the difficulty of the Infernal Horde that you have made. Obviously, the difficulties are proportional to relevant odds. Even if the odds are still low, there are other valuable rewards to be gained during this journey and fight. So it’s well worth a try. You can go through Hellbreaches on lower-difficulty World Tiers to make preparation for this tough battle with Hordes.

It should be noted that the chests from Infernal Hordes will build a direct relationship with the class of your character, which means the corresponding rewards are basically being ensured. Therefore, if you challenge Hordes with a Rogue character, you will embrace higher odds of getting Umbracrux Dagger.

Of course, players need many Burning Aethers to open some of these chests, so pay attention to the collection of Burning Aethers during the game journey. A variety of objectives will be discovered as you embark on the journey to finish an Infernal Horde mission, and by finishing them the requirements Aethers will be easily embraced.

There is another way to obtain Umbracrux Dagger, which is to break down another Unique item to salvage Resplendent Sparks, which serves as a necessary material to craft Umbracrux Dagger. You will then need to make a conversation with an Alchemist vendor. This is expensive, however, and Sparks are particularly difficult to find. It is therefore recommended that you complete the seasonal quests, especially under the circumstances of that you have already owned an overwhelming build.

Affixes:

As to the main power of Umbracrux Dagger is mainly from Subterfuge skills, which means it will not exert perfect power with every single build for Rogue class. Performing a Subterfuge skill also produced an enemy Shade Totem within a limited period, which can be targeted by enemies to deal damage, but any damage they take will be reflected back to surrounding enemies at 30% effectiveness.

Players can activate up to two Shade Totems, which may reduce the amount of damage reflection caused to enemies. Fortunately, this ability could be viewed as a Trap skill, which can be enhanced by any other items which are beneficial to those abilities.

Trap builds are normally be seen as a weaker choice when making a comparison with builds of other character, but for Rogue, it is truly an unbelievably buff.

As a very rare Unique Item, Umbracrux Dagger is very powerful. But the value of every item with great potential should be perfectly utilized and explored. In the game, there are various classes and builds. It is not correct to simply combine two powerful things together to achieve better results. Every item has the most suitable combination, and Umbracrux Dagger is no exception.

Umbracrux Dagger will deal fatal attack against Infernal Hordes. And the best way to use it is to combine it with your friends, especially with Necromancers who own the ability to include allies of their own to Shade Totems you have summoned. Umbracrux Dagger in Diablo 4 Season 5 also offers players to get Totems persistently when fighting with enemies.

The above is the relevant information about Umbracrux Dagger in Diablo 4 Season 5. If you choose Rogue; I wish you to get it as soon as possible. Thanks for reading.

At this stage, Diablo 4 has entered the fifth season, called Season of the Infernal Hordes. In this season, many classes have made changes, including certain enhancements in skills, unique items, legendary aspects and paragons.

So when you start your exploration journey in this season, choosing a class with a variety of play styles may make you feel that the exploration process is very interesting and enjoyable. This guide will recommend to you what interesting class builds are available for you to choose in Season 5, as well as their advantages.

In Diablo 4 Season 5, the class with the biggest change is Sorcerer, because it not only increases the base damage of Crackling Energy from 20% to 30%, but also increases the skill damage by 25% in its main Core Stat.

In addition, many of the Sorcerer’s skills have also been enhanced, such as Spark, Arc Lash, Chain Lightning, and Blizzard, which are very popular among players, allowing you to experience more pleasure in battle and better feel the satisfaction after defeating the enemy.

Not only that, Aspect of Elemental Acuity has also been enhanced, and you can get higher mana recovery and damage output when using Sorcerer in Season 5. Since the damage has been enhanced, in terms of defense, Sorcerer has gained higher movement speed, higher shield value, and higher damage reduction.

By the way, Sorcerer’s passive skills have also been updated - increasing the chance of stun, immobilize, and freeze effects on enemies. These changes have made Sorcerer the most popular Class in this season, and all its builds are very powerful.

In Season 5, Rogue has also made some improvements. Now the class gains 1% more damage for every 9 points of Dexterity, which means your Rogue will deal 6%-7% more damage than in previous seasons.

Similarly, Rogue’s skills have been enhanced, most notably Flurry, which has increased its bonus damage by 1.3 times and has a 20% increase in Lucky Hit chance.

Exploit Weakness skill, which was previously criticized by players, has also been redesigned, now has a chance to increase damage by 25% over 25 seconds, and the duration of Preparation specialization has been increased by 10 seconds. These changes will make it easier for you to fight and get $1 faster.

However, unlike Sorcerer, not all builds are suitable for everyone. The most recommended one this season is Rapid Fire Rogue, because this build adds a new Diablo 4 Item introduced in Season 5, called Umbracrux. It can produce a totem and further increase the damage of the entire build.

Besides this item, you can also pick up Fist of Fate work, which works well with Rogue’s Lucky Hit and works very well in both teamwork and solo play. Even if it doesn’t provide you with new buffs, it will make your fights go by in a brief time.

It’s not necessarily the most powerful class in Season 5, but Druid offers a good mix of melee and ranged styles, which will allow you to find the best build for both solo and team games.

Druid has made no major changes this season, so the builds that have advantages are still the same: Boulder Druid, Landslide Druid, Wind Shear, and Wolf Companion Druid. But it should be noted that Landslide Druid will stand out a little because of the addition of many unique items.

Players familiar with Diablo 4 know that Barbarian is not as good as other classes in terms of overall power level and high-level world operation. And in this season, its defensive ability has even unexpectedly decreased, which is not a good choice for players who are anxious about health bars in battle.

But you can definitely put it in your team. Barbarian can create some benefits for your team through Battle Shout, which is always good. But not all Barbarian builds are unusable. Flay Bleed Barbarian is an exception, which has received some skill buffs.

With the buffs to skills like Upheaval and the diversity of items, there may be some new potential Barbarian builds in subsequent seasons. We can look forward to it together.

Like Barbarian, some core skills of Necromancer, such as Shadowblight and Feast core skills, have been nerfed to a large extent. Of all the builds, Bone Spirit build may be the best Necromancer build for you to play single-player games. The viability of others has begun to decline for various reasons.

In Necromancer build, the most common gameplay is to revolve around the summoned armies of the undead. Some players find it interesting, but some players feel that relying on a certain Claass frequently will limit the appeal of this build.

Now that you know all the build changes in Diablo 4 Season 5, you can choose the most interesting build you want to use based on the following!

These are some of the interesting builds you can choose from in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hopefully, you can use these builds to make your exploration of this season a little easier.

Are you ready to experience a new Elden Ring build? Here we are with Falx Curved Sword build that will allow you to deal massive multi-hitting damage, shredding bosses in seconds. Not only that, its fast attack animations and versatile gameplay will absolutely dazzle every player who sees it for the first time.

In this guide, we will take a look at the best Weapons, Spells, and Talismans for this build, as well as useful gameplay tips to help you master this build.

This terrifying build is able to overwhelm enemies with its fast movement speed and deal devastating and fierce sword swings. Because of the tremendous damage this build deals per second, targets will die quickly and generally make boss fights incredibly easy.

For the stats of Falx Curved Sword build, we have assigned 50 points to Vigor, as the user is likely to get hit because of Falx’s long skill animations. As always, if you feel you really need more survivability when adapting to the gameplay of this build, you can always adjust it to 60 points.

Next is Mind, which is assigned 25 points. You can’t abuse Falx’s unique skill, and enemies usually die very quickly, so 25 points is more than enough.

We assigned 25 points to Endurance because we can’t abuse the unique skill, and 25 Endurance is just right for this play style.

Strength, Dexterity, and Faith As the main offensive stats in this build, we assign 75 to Dexterity, 46 to Strength, and 38 to Faith.

Finally, you don’t really need to add any points to Intelligence and Arcane.

Next, let’s get to the best weapons for this build.

Starting with the chief weapon of the build, Falx we mentioned earlier. This is a Curved Sword type weapon that also comes in pairs. These swords require 12 Strength and 15 Dexterity for the user to properly wield the weapon, with both having D scaling for Strength, and B for Dexterity.

For Falx’s unique skill, Revenger’s Blade, a massive amount of damage can be dealt to a target. Not only does the multi-hitting slash combo have crazy damage multipliers, it can also trigger bleed procs.

If you’ve played Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Series, you’ll find the animations for Revenger’s Blade familiar. Pressing L2 continuously will have the user sprint into a target at high speed, finishing with two heavy hits.

Pressing L2 alone can be a powerful strategy when dealing with fast-moving targets, as it can serve as your move to close the gap while also dealing high damage in the process. If the user stops holding L2, the dash will stop and transition to a swiping attack. You can do this as described above, and it works well even without performing a multi-hit combo finisher.

To counter the finisher, after the swiping attack, you can also press R2 to perform violent multi-hitting sword slashes. Not only that, R2 finisher has an insane damage multiplier and can easily produce bleeding in the middle of the animation. If you learn how to use this finisher properly, enemies will die quickly and bosses will drop like flies.

Moving on to the secondary weapon of this build, which is Spiraltree Seal, you can cast your critical buffs by equipping it and cast Spiral Incantations later.

For the suggested spells for this build, the best combination to go for first is Flame Grant me Strength and Golden Vow. Not only do they give you a 20% Physical Attack Boost and Stamina Recovery Buff, but they also increase your overall damage by 15% and add 10% damage negation. This is very helpful for this build.

Blessing of the Erdtree will take the next position as it helps the user recover 12 HP per second for 90 seconds. If you have enough $1 budget, you can also choose to equip Bloodsucking Cracked Tear. Their synergy will greatly slow down your HP loss.

Giant Golden Arc is the last spell in this list that allows us to make viable AOE and range attacks. This spell will help you deal with multiple enemies easily and give you more combat flexibility.

Continue to see the best Talismans that you need to focus on.

For its Flask of Wondrous Physick combo, slotting in Thorny Cracked Tear is pointless for this build. As mentioned before, we can also use Bloodsucking Cracked Tear in this build. However, if you think that is too much, Greenburst Crystal Tear is a viable option for faster stamina recovery.

Finally, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of Falx Curved Sword build, as well as the challenges you may face and help you overcome them.

Let’s start with the pros first. The first one is, of course the insane damage output of this build. Even without counting bleed procs, the damage multiplier of Revenger’s Blade is insane. You can easily notice this even when dealing with bleed resistant enemies.

The damage of this build gets even better because of the build’s ability to inflict bleed procs. Your fast normal attacks can easily be upgraded and inflict Hemorrhage Effect on the target. As mentioned before, the fight is over so fast that it almost makes the game easily.

Next, we all know how terrible Dual Curved Sword type setups are at dealing with fast multi-hitting attacks that are easy to launch. So dealing damage while maintaining high mobility in a fight is always a plus for this build.

The fact that Revenger’s Blade can stun enemies during the animation makes this skill even more powerful. So most of the time, humanoid targets can’t do anything with this setup.

The last plus point is its Focus Points efficiency. Since the animation of Revenger’s Blade is long, you can’t use it continuously, but even if you manage to use it continuously, it only takes 15 Focus Points.

Speaking of cons, the first obvious one that comes to mind is that Revenger’s Blade skill requires a very wide or long opening for the user to perform its full combo. You can notice this quite easily against fast-moving bosses, as you often can’t use it properly.

However, this drawback is easily overlooked, as you can always effectively damage the target with your crazy jumping attacks, or just rely on your Dash Attack.

The second is the lack of variety in this build. Since we usually just focus on maximizing Falx to reach its optimal damage, the data we have available is very small.

Overall, this Falx Curved Sword is a very powerful build that can destroy enemies in a flash. While Revenger’s Blade is a difficult skill to master, it is a satisfying and fun way to punish enemies when you know when and where to use it and manage to use it.

If you are the type of player who likes to easily defeat bosses with violent sword slashes and bleed procs, while maintaining excellent mobility in combat, then this build is for you. However, if you're someone who hates overly powerful builds, you might want to skip this one, as this build can make most bosses in the game trivial.

Diablo 4 is in its best form right now, and the choice of skills has a significant impact on the build at different stages of the game, especially during the upgrade process, where the right skill choice can make the game much easier. However, to fully realize the potential of any class, it is crucial to acquire some powerful Aspects and Uniques. And the new unique items in Diablo 4 Season 5 Infernal Hordes provide a tremendous help.

But for the new class Spiritborn in the upcoming Vessel of Hatred, these unique items may be a double-edged sword. Vessel of Hatred will not only continue the storyline of Diablo 4 but also introduce a brand new cooperative mode and the return of mercenaries.

It has been announced that the first expansion of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred will be released on October 8, and a lot of new information has been revealed. Here are some more details we have learned about the new classes and new regions in this upcoming expansion, as well as some new features that players are excited about.

In Diablo games, you can recruit allies to join your battle. NPC soldiers that can be hired were first introduced in Diablo 2, and in Diablo 3, this mechanism developed into a deeper system of Followers, which has their own story background. In Diablo 4, all four summonable allies have their own names and detailed background stories, which seem to be more similar to Followers of Diablo 3.

You will unlock these NPC allies during the main quest of Diablo 4. You can designate one mercenary as your chief companion and a second mercenary as support. This mercenary will appear in battle and release special skills when you use your skills. Each mercenary has unique skills. Players can choose different builds to form a team that complements their own characters in battle. As your team build gradually takes shape, you can also consider using $1 to further strengthen the strength of your entire team.

Dark Citadel is a brand new cooperative PvE mode. This ultimate challenge is designed to test the player team. Dark Citadel contains three regions, each with a tough boss fight and unique enemy mechanics.

Vessel of Hatred trailer shows that players need to collect a special item in order to reflect on the boss’s attacks during the fight. This item will need to be used by each team member, which is reminiscent of traditional MMO raid design, managing the boss’s pattern while dealing continuous damage. Dark Citadel will feature a special vendor that will provide some extremely valuable loot for players who are brave enough to take on the challenge.

A party-finder is also introduced in the game, making it easier to team up with friends and strangers. Dark Citadel does seem to enhance MMO aspects of Diablo 4, and a new limited-time challenge Undercity is also coming soon, so it won’t be the only new dungeon in Vessel of Hatred.

Vessel of Hatred will take players to a new region of Nahantu, located in the southernmost part of the eastern continent, which is a part of Nahantu that players have not yet explored. It appeared in Diablo 2, so players may find some familiar elements here as well as new content.

Nahantu consists of six sub-areas, four of which are jungle-themed and the other two are canyon-themed. The jungle is full of new enemies called Hollows and Dregs, and is a dangerous and dying place. The canyons hide caves, and gigantic trees provide the possibility of moving between large branches on the ground or in the air. Whether it is the jungle or canyon area, Nahantu presents a rich sense of layering.

Spiritborn currently seems to be limited to using two-handed weapons, such as polearms, glaives, and quarterstaves. Two-handed weapons take up two hand slots in the character menu, so Spiritborn will always have only 9 slots in Diablo 4, while other classes have 9 or 10 slots, which will reduce the number of options when building the perfect class. This may cause some trouble for players pursuing the ultimate class in the initial stage, especially for min-maxing builds.

One advantage of two-handed weapons is the doubled bonus to item properties and Aspects they provide, which in some cases may make using them more advantageous than equipping two one-handed weapons, but for Spiritborn, this seems to have become the new standard. If Spiritborn indeed cannot use shields and one-handed weapons, it will not only mean that Necromancer will remain the only class in Diablo 4 that uses shields for a long time, but Spiritborn may need to put more effort into perfecting their build.

Since the release of Diablo 4, there have only been four attempts to strengthen two-handed weapons, which may not affect the upgrade process, but it is difficult to find a near-perfect weapon for the ultimate challenge. Obtaining a perfect reinforcement in Diablo 4 is a hard task, even though the game has introduced a new Scroll of Retempering, which allows a fifth attempt after the first four attempts fail.

However, relying solely on the strength bonus of the doubled-up Aspect may still not be the best choice compared to the additional base-level Aspect provided by the off-hand slot. Unless Spiritborn can use a shield or other one-handed weapon, or at least get some very powerful two-handed Unique weapons to make up for the missing slot.

With October 8 release date approaching, players can look forward to diving into the content of Diablo 4’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, to challenge new enemies, acquire powerful equipment, and explore unknown areas.

With a Diablo 4 DLC just around the corner, let’s take a look at the brand new areas we can explore in this new expansion. In Vessel of Hatred, we’ll be heading south to Nahantu, the last of the lands in the eastern region of Sanctuary. This region has both deep ancient jungles and vast plains, providing a rich experience for every type of player.

There’s a lot to explore in Nahantu. Nahantu is the southernmost region of the eastern continent that Diablo 4 is set in, and it’s the last region we haven’t visited in the game so far. There are a total of six new areas here, four of which are Jungle-themed and two are Red Rock Canyon, but each has its own unique identity.

When you first arrive in Nahantu, you come to a place called Lingering Hatred. These are towering treetops, and you’re almost walking between branches above the jungle floor.

Imagine the light barely making it through the thick canopy. The entire area is infected with something called Hollows infestation. Hollows are new enemies related to Mephisto, and they themselves are like a creature born straight from the depths of Hell.

The area itself is pretty sick. However, humans have ventured into the deep jungle, and it’s full of poisonous plants and plants. Dregs actually started trying to consume these hallucinogens, which sent them into this aggressive mental rage.

Dregs are really interesting because this allows for more variation within the monster family. If you have a tall Dreg, you can control it and tell it where to go, and it throws poisonous bombs at other players. It’s pretty memorable when you run into it.

Then we also have Teganze area, which has Teganze Plateau, and Red Rock Plateau and Canyon everywhere. Imagine standing above the land. There are pockets inside those giant walls where monsters can live. It opens up a lot of opportunities to bring back monster families like Lacuni.

There’s also a little area here called Skittering Earth. I guess the name alone should give you the creeps. There are swarms of bugs there, and you can see how the bugs are destroying the jungle and affecting it to some extent.

In Field of Giants, you’ll see the giant corpses of these long-dead demons, and humans have begun to mine them for resources. While these corpses have many uses, be aware that they can also poison the surrounding land.

Mercenaries in a Vessel of Hatred are a group of ordinary people with extraordinary skills. They share the same will to fight against the demons of Hell. Over the course of the campaign, you can collect four Mercenaries. Investing in $1 to upgrade these Mercenaries will give you a better gaming experience.

First up is Raheir, a Blacksmith and Shieldbearer who is more of a defensive fighter. He can go in there and absorb damage, using his shield as a bulwark against enemies. You meet him early in the campaign, and he introduces you to Mercenary network. You’ll eventually find fetch quests for three more Mercenaries to be found during the story.

For Subo, the Drunken Archer, perfect for those who want a melee fighter who stays away from the major battle and provides utility and ranged support in the back.

Then we have Varyana, the Berserker Crone, who is a melee fighter who can do close combat. She has a really cool combat meter that is also a kind of massacre meter, and you need to keep killing enemies to fill the meter. On top of that, she has a bunch of really fun utility skills that you can incorporate into the game.

Finally, we have Aldkin, the Cursed Child, who is a magic user who can change from human form to demon form and join the fight. He also has a really cool power-up ability where you can attach one of Mercenary skills to one of your powers so that when you use that skill, it summons them to perform a specific skill.

For Mercenaries in a Vessel of Hatred, one thing the developers are focusing on expanding is Skill Trees.

Before Diablo 3, you had a very basic Mercenary type, but this time around, you can actually go a little deeper into Skill Tree and shape Mercenary the way you want. You can go through the growth line of each Mercenary and equip their Skill Tree to complement your character build. I have to say, this is where the real fun of Mercenary system comes in.

Dark Citadel is a new endgame feature coming soon in Vessel of Hatred DLC. It’s a fully cooperative player experience where all the mechanics revolve around you and your teammates working together to solve challenges and face the first Khazra hordes within it.

One of the results of Mage Clan Wars is this giant crater, and all the souls that were lost in it during those wars.

The target of the first Khazra, the original Khazra, was to use the power of Citadel within this crater to experiment in an attempt to resurrect their dark god. Only recently, people started going missing. They enter Khazra region and then disappear, never to be seen again. So it’s clear that whatever they’re planning is about to happen, and your job as the player is to get in there and stop it.

Dark Citadel’s combat mechanics are the most noteworthy of Diablo 4 DLC, and you have to build on that with managed co-op mechanics. For example, the boss attacks, and as the player, you have to collect a Diablo 4 item that allows you to reflect the attack back at him. However, you have to time your reaction shot.

What’s interesting is that when you have multiple people tasked with reflecting that shot at the same time, they all have to time their moves. You can’t do that without teamwork, and that’s a prime example of how Citadel gameplay works.

In addition, we have a currency specifically for Dark Citadel. During the game, you can interact with vendors to get custom cosmetics that are unique to Citadel.

You can play Citadel with two people, but the ideal experience is with four people. To make this happen, the developers have also built a brand new Party Finder feature. The community has been very eager to make this happen for a long time, and pairing it with the new Citadel mode makes a lot of sense for all players.

All in all, this is truly an activity for people who enjoy playing with friends or strangers and enjoying cooperative games. I can’t wait to get into this world and explore all the hidden little story elements. Looking forward to exploring Nahantu will bring us a really great experience!
