EA Sports FC 24 Legendary Status Evolution offers player cards for three game styles, Passing, Quick Step and Three Step.

Thierry Henry, Garrincha, Zico, Kenny Dalglish, Johan Cruyff, Eusebio and Ronaldinho have all been significantly improved. Their cards have been upgraded in terms of speed, dribbling, passing and shooting, making them strong substitutes for Ultimate Team.

FC 24 Legendary Status Evolution improves players in three aspects: Passing, Quick Step and Three Step. Legendary Status Evolution is not free, you need to spend 100k $1, and then you can get a very balanced player card face that can be added to Ultimate Team.

This evolution is not available for all player cards. We must at least choose a card that meets the minimum standards. So what are the requirements? The requirements are max 93 overall, max 94 pace, max 92 shooting, max 93 defending and seven play styles.

Thierry Henry’s base card has overall rating 92, an EVO rating of 94, and his position in the team is ST.

Thierry Henry is a very useful card that can be obtained in Legendary State Evolution. With this data, he can be said to be one of the fastest members in EA Sports FC 24. Because Henry is known for his fast speed, and his mentality is very stable, he can also keep the ball in check and score 1v1 goals.

The goal machine has obtained a card with good speed, dribbling, shooting and passing abilities, which are very useful in the court of Ultimate Team game.

Garrincha’s base card has a total rating of 93, an EVO rating of 96, and he is RW in the team.

Brazilian legend Manuel Francisco dos Santos certainly gets a great card, the right winger has an overall rating of 96 in Ultimate Team. If there has been a group of great dribblers over the years, Garrincha is definitely one of them. On top of that, he has amazing speed on right flank.

His card stats are also amazing, 99 Dribbling, 93 Pace, 93 Passing, 90 Shooting. These attributes will make your team even better, and he will definitely receive honors in the competition, such as the best player. Garrincha’s card plays differently to the previous one, with passing, quick steps, and a trio.

Zico’s base card has an overall rating of 91, but his EVO rating is 94, and his position in the team is CAM.

Zico is famous as a player and coach, and his game stats on FC 24 Evolutions Level 4 card are very good. He is an attacking midfielder and one of the greatest players of the 70s and 80s.

Now, he has an enviable card with excellent shooting, dribbling, passing and speed. Not only are these data very eye-catching, but he has 13 playing styles, namely flat pass, quick step, technique, dead ball, exquisite shooting, lob, sharp pass, tiki taka, fancy, trick, quick step, triple play.

Kenny Dalglish’s basic card comprehensive rating is 91. Kenny Dalglish’s EVO Rating is 94, and his position is ST.

Kenneth Dalglish is a very famous Liverpool player, and his card comprehensive rating is as high as 94. At present, Kenny Dalglish is 73 years old this year, and many young people may not know who he is.

His original rating of 91 has been increased by three points, and now it has reached a total rating of 94. In addition, his shooting, dribbling and speed are 96, 94 and 94, respectively. Another very eye-catching advantage is that he has very exquisite technical movements and top weak foot accuracy.

Johan Cruyff’s base card has an overall rating of 93 and an EVO rating of 96.

Hendrik Johannes Cruyff is known as one of the best center forwards in Dutch history. He has received a very good card in Ultimate Team. Johannes Cruyff won Ballon d’Or three times and played for many clubs, but finally retired with Feyenoord.

Croyff’s FC 24 Evolutions Level 4 card has been upgraded to varying degrees in four aspects: speed, dribbling, passing and shooting. Johan Cruyff is one of the most popular center forwards in football at the moment. His playing styles in this card include fast walking, powerful shooting, exquisite shooting, one-touch, genius, tricky, tiki taka, ruthless and trivela.

His base card has an overall rating of 91 and an EVO rating of 94. His position in the team is center forward. Although Eusebio is gone, people have not forgotten him because of his extremely high reputation and outstanding ability, so he has received a very high rating in Ultimate Team.

He is a legendary star of Portugal, known for his speed, agility and prolific goals, and has ratingd a total of 733 goals in his career, so he should be one of best center forwards in this legendary status evolution event.

Ronaldinho’s basic card has an overall rating of 93 and an EVO rating of 96. His position in the team is left wing.

I believe that those who are familiar with his career will not be surprised that Ronaldinho has such a high rating. His career is the best proof. In Ultimate Team, he has become one of the left wingers we should sign the most.

His card has a 99 dribbling attribute, and no one can not be tempted this amazing data. In addition, his 94 pace and 93 shooting can easily surpass opponents. He has eight playstyles in Ultimate Team, namely quick step, finesse shots, dead ball, trickster, technical, flair, first touch, and trivela.

Which player do you prefer in the above list? In the Best Legendary Status Evolution, each card has different degrees of improvement. We should choose carefully to find the team that suits us best.

The arrival of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC brings a ton of new content, including new areas, new consumables, and new enemies. And it’s clear that the basic content that players encounter in Land of Shadow is now several times more difficult than before.

Among them, the bosses in Elden Ring DLC ​​are more difficult than we have encountered before, and even the enemies we encounter in the early stages will make us fall into the quagmire. Many experienced veterans may be helpless when facing these bosses.

Therefore, here we will provide you with a guide to help you understand some of the tough bosses you need to watch out for in this new expansion so that you can be confident when facing them. Now let’s get started!

Like the last boss of most games, Promised Consort Radahn you encounter in Shadow of the Erdtree is also the most difficult to deal with. You might think that players who reach Land of Shadow have already defeated Starscourge Radahn, so Promised Consort Radahn is irrelevant. But that’s not the case.

Because Radahn in Caelid area has become even crazier than before. And Promised Consort Radahn has many deadly skills. It can use its Twin blades for close combat, and it can also use its powers of Gravity to throw Meteorite at Tarnished.

If the player can still barely resist at this time, then in the next stage, Miquella will join the boss battle and send deadly rays from the sky to the player, making the battle much more difficult. When fighting against such a highly aggressive boss with a small attack window, players are usually not allowed to make any mistakes. Players will feel very accomplished or occasionally frustrated when challenging.

Messmer The Impaler may look ordinary, but with its fast movement, ranged weapon attacks, temporary serpent form, and devastating elemental attacks, Messmer The Impaler is one of the most threatening bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree.

It is not a selectable boss. If the player repeatedly fails when attacking it, it is recommended that the player consume as many Scadutree Fragments as possible before fighting it. In return, defeating Messmer The Impaler will reward 400,000 $1, as well as Remembrance of the Impaler, so it is worth a try.

Putrescent Knight is a combination of a knight and a horse in Fissure Depths within Land of Shadow. It is recommended that the player collect as many Scadutree fragments as possible when facing this boss. It can deal tremendous damage and has a blue flame AoE that can cover an extensive area. Meanwhile, when fighting Putrescent Knight, its semicircular sword is difficult to predict and dodge.

But fortunately, it is an optional boss and you can choose not to fight it. But it should be noted that defeating it will drop 220,000 Elden Ring Runes and Remembrance of Putrescence, which can be exchanged for Putrescence Cleaver.

Rellana arguably has the hardest early game skill check in any Soulsborne game. Even those players who have reached Elden Ring level 150. They will still face considerable difficulties because the fight with Rellana is very tricky.

Rellana’s swords can launch both magical attacks and physical attacks. In Rellana’s first phase, she will not use many attacks that cause Elemental Damage, and most of her skills rely on sweeping strikes with swords. Once her health bar is depleted to a certain extent, she will enter the second phase.

Rellana will infuse fire into her swords and begin to use a combination of magic and fire attacks. She will also become more aggressive, which means even the combos you are familiar with will be harder to dodge. Most players will find Rellana very challenging.

The body of Divine Beast Dancing Lion looks like a combination of a lion’s head and humanoid limbs. It is an extremely aggressive boss with some tricky moves and some interesting mechanics.

Since they usually fly in the air and move smoothly, it is difficult to really understand their body shape, and it is difficult to initially judge their attack methods. At the same time, they are very aggressive and have a variety of moves that you will never feel comfortable with, and will also launch a series of attacks without any chance of fighting back. When you enter the battle, he will start using Frost and Lightning attacks, which will make it more difficult for you to get close to them.

This boss is optional, like Putrescent Knight, but unlike Putrescent Knight, it does not drop as many Runes after defeating it. So players can choose whether to challenge this boss based on their own experience of satisfaction with the game.

Romina, Saint Of The Bud looks creepy. Romina’s design combines humanoid features with insect body parts, which she can use to hurt Tarnished.

With its enormous size, hard-to-dodge combat moves, and extremely long blade reach, it also has a rolling attack that is difficult to predict and dodge, and she can jump all over the arena in a few seconds. Romina, Saint Of The Bud is not optional, and once she is defeated, she will drop a considerable number of runes.

Golden Hippopotamus will be the first boss you encounter in Shadow Keep, so it is difficult to miss him.

Golden Hippopotamus is very powerful from the beginning. As soon as it is out of the door, Golden Hippopotamus will quickly attack the Tarnished, and its open mouth is reminiscent of Sulyvahn’s Beast from Dark Souls 3.

In the first stage, it mainly relies on bite attacks and slam attacks, and it continues to be quite aggressive. When it loses at least 35% of its health, it will enter the second stage. It grows golden quills on its back that can be shot out and deal significant damage. This boss will always try to attack actively, which also makes melee attacks more difficult.

Hopefully, this guide will make you adventurers more confident and well-prepared when exploring the unknown territory of Shadow Of The Erdtree. I wish you victory in the next battle!

The arrival of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC brings a ton of new content, including a brand new land called Lands Between. This not only takes this soul-like game to a new level but also allows for more new design elements to be better utilized.

In addition, this new area has dozens of new NPCs, each of whom carries a lot of new quests. Completing these quests will help you advance the story faster and accumulate a lot of $1. However, some quests are very obscure and it would be a pity to miss them.

Here, we will introduce in detail some quests you are most likely to miss in Elden Ring DLC. These quests are worth your time and help you start a new journey in the new land!

I believe that old players must be familiar with the character Patches (NPC), who is a character that often appears in Dark Souls games and Bloodborne, acting as a troll in these games. He also appears in Elden Ring this time, and completing his quest can get a lot of rewards.

It is not difficult to find this quest. You can find him in Murkwater Cave. You will talk to him and randomly trigger a battle. Once his health drops to 50%, he will stop fighting. After that, he will become a fixed NPC at this location before you enter the next Site of Grace. He will talk to you and sell you some interesting goods.

Yura is very inconspicuous in Elden Ring. His existence is mainly to hunt Bloody Finger members. You will see a river called Murkwater Cave on the way to the center of Limgrave. In this river, you will fight with Bloody Finger Nerijus. At this time, Yura will appear to help you defeat this Bloody Finger member.

Like most FromSoftware game stories, Yura’s story is not particularly attractive, but he can help people who pass through Lands Between get a lot of rewards. But the current information about him is really lacking, and we cannot speculate about his relationship with Dragon Cult based on the existing information.

Irina  and Edgar actually appears in Weeping Peninsula, which we can enter at the beginning. After crossing Bridge of Sacrifice in southeast Limgrave, you can find a woman named Irina in the peninsula, and then trigger the quest.

Irina will give you a letter asking you to find her father, Edgar. After the defeat, the enemy occupied their castle. This letter is to persuade her father to abandon the castle and leave. But Edgar is difficult to find. The entrance is near the second Site of Grace seen when exploring Castle Morne.

Nepheli Loux’s may be the quest you want to complete most in Elden Ring, because he is your companion in the game and the character most similar to you in Lands Between. Our first encounter with Nepheli Loux’s should be in Godrick the Grafted boss fight. Summoning her summon sign can help you defeat Godrick.

But Nepheli Loux’s quest is very complicated and difficult for novices. It includes quests from Kenneth Haight and Fort Haight, Seluvis, Gatekeeper Gostoc and other NPCs. We last saw him on Godrick’s dead body.

This quest is still quite time-consuming. For Tarnished players, when exploring Lands Between area, they will encounter a large jar stuck on the ground of Agheel Lake North Site of Grace. We must meet Alexander here to continue the quest. Warm reminder, don’t skip this step.

After defeating Radahn, we can find him near Fire Giant. After that, the remaining quests are completed in Crumbling Farum Azula, and then you can get the best Talismans in Elden Ring. The biggest use of these Talismans is to increase damage by 15%, which is a very good item.

Ranni’s quest is very long and covers many parts of Elden Ring. But many people miss the first meeting with her. Because we can get Spirit Bell in this meeting, this item can help us upgrade Spirit Ashes in battle. All we have to do is go to Church of Elleh Site of Grace at night, and she will be waiting for us there.

After performing the operation at Gatefront Ruins Site of Grace, we will get a mount Torrent from Melina. In fact, Ranni’s words are hard to ignore, but her quest is really too many steps to trigger.

In Roundtable Hold you will meet Fia, who will ask you to give her a hug, which has both benefits and disadvantages after completing the task. Like other NPCs in the Elden Ring game, she has her own storyline, but her storyline is also closely related to other NPCs, such as Lionel, Ranni, Rogier, and D, Hunter of the Dead.

The general task of Fia is to talk to her after completing key tasks, and then change the way Roundtable Hold runs, and there will be some rooms for you to enter.

This quest is so easy to overlook. When we first meet Liurnia, Rya looks like a mercenary with bad posture and doesn’t realize that this quest exists. But after you help her find the necklace, she will invite you to Volcano Manor and you will be teleported there.

During your conversation with her, she will tell you her true identity and real name, Zoryas. But for Zoryas, it is not particularly clear who she is. At this time, you must be prepared to help her find more information about her mother and herself.

We can meet Roderika near Stormhill Shack, and she will tell you why she has been hiding. We will eventually find her in Roundtable Hold and then communicate with her and Hewg, who lives in Roundtable Hold. In the end, she will upgrade your Spirit Ashes, making you more powerful in battle.

These rewards are provided to you by Hewg and Roderika as a reward for your journey. Roderika may disappear for a short time, but will reappear as the plot develops.

If we are not careful, we may mistake Millicent’s cry for the fact of Lands Between when we pass by. But if you are lucky enough to meet a sorcerer named Gowry near Church of The Plague, then congratulations, this quest is almost completed.

We need to go back and forth between the two of them to help Millicent recover. She will appear in some Sites of Grace. Find her a prosthesis. She will take the initiative to help you, and she will give you some Elden Ring Runes as a reward.

We first met Blaidd in Mistwood Ruins located east of the beginning Limgrave area. Although this quest is easy to forget, it is very popular. Because he has one of the most popular Elden Ring designs.

After hearing Blaidd’s cry in Mistwood Ruins, we have to talk to Kale, the merchant at Church of Elleh, and get a snapping gesture. If we use it near Blaidd, Blaidd will talk to you. In this quest, we can understand the nature of Blaidd.

D, Beholder of Death is not only more hidden for players but also has a more complicated background. Perhaps most Elden Ring players have missed this quest. And the story line of this quest is also very complicated. In addition to being related to Fia, it is also related to D, Hunter of the Dead. The most important thing is that the wrong steps may also lead to the inability to complete the ending.

First, we have to go to Nokron, Eternal City, first give D, Hunter of the Dead a knife, and then give him Twinned Set. Only in this way can we get his armor and weapons as a reward. If we kill D, Beholder of Death first, we must complete Fia’s quest again, then visit Fia’s body again, re-talk, and load the area. This is very troublesome for us.

Both St. Trina and Thiollier can only be encountered in Realm of Shadow in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. They have the same quest, but they are very hidden and easy to miss. For example, you may have met Thiollier as a merchant during exploration, but his identity is not fixed.

Trina And Thiollier are considered one of the most mysterious NPCs in the base game. It is possible to learn more about them in DLC. When we try our best to find him, we may fall into a deep sleep or even die, but it doesn’t matter as long as we interact with him a few more times.

The above content is a compilation of quests that can get a lot of in-game rewards and are easy to miss. I hope it can help you.

Several new weapons were introduced to players in Skyline Valley update for Fallout 76. Some guns were very popular with players, and one of them was V63-BERTHA. This is an energy weapon and a special variant of Tesla Rifle.

In addition to its cool appearance, it is also very powerful and has a very fast rate of fire. If you are a player who likes energy weapons, then you will definitely like V63-BERTHA. Whether you are a novice player or an advanced player, this Fallout 76 Item can adapt well to all player levels and different builds, making you love it.

A public event will randomly appear in Skyline Valley area called Dangerous Pastimes. This event requires you to repair the lightning harvester and knock down waves of enemies, and finally kill Thunder Crab to mark your victory.

This is a very simple event that only takes about 10 minutes to complete. It is important to note that this event is the only place where players can obtain V63-BERTHA. Although it is not guaranteed that you will get this weapon the first time you complete the event, it is worth mentioning that you can only find V63-BERTHA here.

Although V63-BERTHA cannot be re-rolled to obtain some new legendary effects. But the legendary effects of V63-BERTHA itself are already outstanding, and they can also work well together.

While the shooting effect of Two Shot is already very good, it works exceptionally well on V63-BERTHA. The extra rate of fire can help you knock down enemies faster, and the increase in the speed of reloading is a qualitative leap for this weapon.

Thanks to its 2nd star effect, V63-BERTHA has a very high fire rate. This means that it can help you maximize your damage output on enemies. Even though it consumes a lot of ammo, the damage it deals is well worth it.

In addition, the recoil you experience when aiming at the hip is very minimal. Because of the way this weapon works, you don’t have to hit the enemy directly to deal damage. When you get close to the enemy, the energy pulses will bounce back and hit the target you are aiming at.

Although V63-BERTHA is weak against bosses like Scorchbeast Queen and Earle Williams, it is most effective against some of the common enemies wandering around Appalachia. but V63-BERTHA can knock down some melee attackers before they can get close to you. For example, Ghouls, Mirelurks, and human enemies are no match for this $1.

So you can use it as a backup weapon. Its fast-firing and heavy-hitting capabilities are perfect for when you’re facing off against groups of enemies. If you’re using a more powerful primary weapon, like Quad Railway Rifle, you can switch between the two weapons at will to maximize damage.

The standard non-legendary Tesla Rifle only holds up to 15 rounds, but V63-BERTHA holds 30 rounds. Some players may think that’s not a lot, just a double relationship. But in certain combat situations, twice as many bullets may save your life.

Tesla Rifles are not heavy weapons, but their reload speed is almost the same, which is also very slow. Even if you use Speed ​​Demon mutation to increase the speed, it is still very slow compared to some lighter weapons. So, if you need the same reload time, why not choose a gun with a larger ammo capacity?

In the game, if you want to gain XP through killing, you need to know that you don’t need to kill the enemy completely. As long as you deal damage to this enemy, you will get XP you want when it is killed.

V63-BERTHA is perfect for this job because the energy beams it releases will rebound and hit the target and other nearby enemies. This way you can deal many times more damage to groups of enemies, and you will get XP regardless of whether they die under your gun.

Events like Radiation Rumble are perfect for using V63-BERTHA because you can get a lot of XP between most of the kills. Also, because of the unique way this weapon works, you only need to park somewhere and fire in the general direction of the enemy attack!

V63-BERTHA’s ammo - Fusion Cells are also a very popular type of ammo. Many weapons use this ammo, so many players are using it. Players who don’t need Fusion Cells will sell them at CAMP vendors for 1 Fallout 76 Bottle Cap per round.

In addition, although this ammo is expensive to make, you can get three times more ammo than usual by using the perks of Ammo Smith and Super Duper. In addition, you can also drop a portion of Fusion Cells after defeating enemies in Expeditions and Daily Ops. So you don’t have to worry about the number of Fusion Cells.

Have you found V63-BERTHA in Fallout 76 Skyline Valley? If not, go get it! If you already have it, go use it to fight. Have fun exploring Skyline Valley!

Monopoly GO is a fun mobile board game that based on the classic Monopoly board games. It also adds a lot of fun features. You roll dice to build landmarks and collect rent from rival players until they go broke.

In this game, you rely not only on luck but also on strategy. In this guide, we will take a detailed look at how to play Monopoly GO and what you should and should not do in this game.

Although Monopoly GO follows most of the rules of previous board games, there are still some changes. In the old game, you need to collect rent by purchasing properties and building landmarks to win. But in Monopoly GO, you can win by more than just these.

In Monopoly GO, your ultimate goal is not necessary to make the most money, but to build your own landmarks. Each landmark can be upgraded six times, and after all the landmarks on your board have been upgraded to the highest level, you can move on to the next board.

While money is still very important in this game, as you need it to upgrade and build your landmarks, earning money seems to be less important in Monopoly GO than other aspects, as other activities will make you feel more fun.

In Monopoly GO, the most important thing is to get property sets, and the sooner the better. After you complete property sets of the same color, you can help you make more money. As mentioned above, you can double the money you earn with various landmarks!

In Monopoly GO’s landmarks, it is very important to use your resources appropriately. You need to first calculate in your mind how much extra money each upgrade will generate, so that you can maximize your resource utilization. Of course, you should first choose the landmarks that make the most money, to keep you ahead.

In Monopoly GO, Chance cards and Community Chests can help you get more money, or even turn the tide. So you need to read the descriptions of these two items carefully and use them appropriately in some situations, especially Chance cards.

In this business game, it is very important to manage your money properly. Not only control your spending, but also pay off your debts on time to ensure overall financial stability. So you need to always pay attention to your balance of income and expenditure so that you can make wise choices in some emergency decisions.

In Monopoly Go, in addition to finding ways to make more money, it is also important to protect the money you have already earned. There is a shield mechanism in this game that can partially defend against attacks on your board. They are equipped passively and are only activated when your landmarks are attacked by other players.

Whenever someone tries to attack one of your landmarks, the shield is automatically used. However, if you don’t have a shield, your landmark will be damaged and lose a level.

Events and tournaments in Monopoly GO can give you a great way to get a lot of rewards, including $1 and free dice. You should actively participate in these events and tournaments, which can help you level up faster, and there are mileage rewards after completing each task, which will also give you a lot of money as a reward.

Don’t think that this kind of business game can only be played alone. In Monopoly Go, if you cooperate with your friends, you can bring immense advantages to both parties. The more friends you have, the greater the advantage, and the more rewards you will get from the community chest! This is a situation where everyone wins, and I’m confident your friends will be eager to join.

In addition to the large rewards in events and tournaments, daily rewards or bonuses for logging in everyday are also very important. Although these rewards are not that much, they can accumulate! Keeping yourself active can also help you stay competitive in the game.

Don’t underestimate the importance of upgrading your landmarks. Enhanced properties bring bigger rewards. Strategically allocate your resources to maximize your earning potential and stay competitive.

Protecting your landmarks with shields is essential to staying competitive in Monopoly GO. Don’t neglect shield protection. Leaving your assets vulnerable to attacks can jeopardize your game progress.

Avoid wasteful spending in Monopoly GO and prioritize investments that will bring you long-term benefits. Manage your finances carefully to avoid bankruptcy and maximize profitability.

Chance cards can have a tremendous impact on your gameplay in Monopoly GO. Don’t underestimate their importance. Ignoring the instructions of your chance cards can lead to missed opportunities or setbacks.

Building alliances and partnerships with other players is essential to succeeding in Monopoly GO. Don’t isolate yourself from the game community. Working together with other players can give you valuable strategic advantages.

Time-limited events and tournaments offer valuable rewards and chances to advance in Monopoly GO. Don’t miss out on these events. Active participation is essential to stay competitive and maximize your progress.

Dice is a valuable resource in Monopoly GO. So don’t waste them unnecessarily. Save your dice for strategic maneuvers and key moments to optimize your gameplay efficiency.

Don’t aimlessly accumulate excess cash in Monopoly GO. Invest strategically to expand your empire and maximize your profitability. Wise financial management is the key to success in the game.

After learning these strategies, are you more confident in playing this unique board game? I hope you have fun playing Monopoly GO and achieve “wealth freedom”!

Sword of Night is one of the newest Katanas added in the recent Elden Ring DLC. This Katana is really fun to play with. Not only can you shred enemies with ease, but it can also deal a ton of damage if used properly.

I will be covering Shadow Arts Samurai Build with this Katana as the core, and will explain the play style of this build, gear to use, best amulets, and tips for using it. If you are looking for an effective build with Sword of Night, then this guide is definitely for you.

First, let’s go over the basics of this build. Shadow Arts Samurai relies heavily on Sword of Night to deal most of its damage through a rapid succession of strikes or slashes.

In addition, it comes with attack-boosting buffs to increase the damage dealt by its firepower and offensive incantations. This also fits in well with its theme, which is a Samurai who has mastered Dark Arts by wielding Sword of Night.

Shadow Arts Samurai also has high Dexterity and Arcane, and a bit of a Faith Stat. You can use some attack-boosting incantations, which can improve its overall firepower.

Now that the basic play style is out of the way, let’s move on to Shadow Arts Samurai’s gear.

Let’s start with the chief weapon of the build, which is the previously mentioned Sword of Night. To use this Katana effectively, you need 11 Strength, and 20 Dexterity, and B Scaling for Dexterity.

Now, it may not look that impressive at first glance because of its scaling, but it has its own special moves, which we will go into in depth later.

One thing to note is that this Katana causes the user to deal magic damage, so items and equipment that increase magic damage will be beneficial to this Katana.

Speaking of Shadow Arts Samurai’s main damage attack, its unique skill Witching Hour Slash can do the job. This is a chargeable skill that performs high-speed slashes quickly, and the good thing about this skill is that it cannot be blocked by shields.

This skill hits like a truck, however, because of its long charge time, it takes a lot of time to get used to.

However, you can also perform an uncharged version of this skill by pressing L2, which is fast and hits hard. I recommend making this your default attack compared to your normal attack combination.

The first thing that comes to my mind about Sword of Night’s pros is that its Witching Hour Slash skill does have a lot of range and can hit multiple targets around the user. As mentioned above, this skill can hit hard if used properly, especially when performing its fully charged version. You will shred enemies in seconds.

In addition, this Katana has a native blood-loss build-up and will proc bleeds, so this is also a great bonus or another excellent source of damage.

Finally, this weapon has a unique mechanic that it gains an additional attack boost when traveling at night. But in my opinion, this is just a cool gimmick that can be forgotten.

However, just like any other weapon, it has its drawbacks. The first and most obvious problem that comes to mind is the extremely long recharge time of Witching Hour Slash. This will be the reason for your death if used incorrectly. So it takes time to get used to it, especially against fast-moving enemies.

Another thing is that Witching Hour Slash consumes a lot of FP, and 21 FP points per use will quickly deplete your FP.

Moving on to the secondary weapon of the build, I recommend Dragon Communion Seal because we will use Arcane scaling Incantations later and we can also use critical buffs.

Now that the weapons are covered, let’s move on to the spells I recommend.

The first one on the list is Flame Grant Me Strength, which grants an additional 20% physical attack boost and stamina recovery buff.

Then the next one is undoubtedly Golden Vow. This buff increases overall damage by 15% and adds 10% damage negation, which is very helpful.

The next spell is Bloodboon, which will provide a ranged attack to your build. I rarely rely on its damage, but use it as a decoy tool or to pressure a target, especially when fighting humanoid-type enemies. It will also help you increase blood loss and increase damage over time.

Lastly, is Furious Blade of Ansbach. I use this spell because it fits the theme well, not because of its damage. It’s more for roleplaying purposes and to add a little variety while also helping you increase blood loss. This is also a chargeable Incantation, so keep that in mind.

Next, let’s get into the best Talismans for this Samurai Build.

As always, our top pick is Shard of Alexander. This increases skill damage by 15%, especially when performing Witching Hour Slash skill.

The next Talisman is Godfrey Icon, which increases the attack power of charged spells and skills by 15%. I highly recommend slotting this as it further increases the damage of Witching Hour Slash and Furious Blade of Ansbach, as these are rechargeable skills.

Of course, since we are dealing with fast multi-attacks, slotting Millicent’s Prosthesis and Rotten-Winged Sword Insignia is optimal for this build. You will always have the multi-attack buff active while using Witching Hour Slash to quickly clear everything in a short amount of time.

Now that the main gear is done, let’s move on to the armor sets for Shadow Arts Samurai. For this build, I am wearing Night’s Cavalry Set, and in addition to the helmet, I am wearing Iron Kasa to keep the identity of the build.

Of course, you can wear whatever you want as long as you have enough $1. If you want to optimize your armor set in some way, as long as you have 51 poise, most of the time it will be enough.

Let’s move on to the stats for Shadow Arts Samurai.

Starting with Vigor, I have assigned 45 points to it. Since I’m used to Glass Cannon Builds, I rarely allocate a lot of points to Vigor. However, you are free to raise Vigor to 50 for increased survivability. You can also lower it if you’re really good at the game.

Next is Mind, which has 30 points allocated to it. I highly recommend not going below 25, as Witching Hour Slash requires 21 points per use, so you’ll run out of FP very quickly.

Next is Endurance, which I consider being the offensive stat in any Soul-like game I play, because the more stamina you have, the more damage you can do.

Note that you need to have at least 11 Strength to wield Sword of Night effectively. Since Dexterity is the main stat for this build, I’ve allocated a total of 75 points, plus we’ve equipped Millicent’s Prosthesis, so it will be 80.

Next is Intelligence. We don’t need any intelligence, so it will be 10 points.

Then there’s Faith. 25 points have been allocated to Faith so you can access the aforementioned Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength, and meet the requirements for using other spells with this build.

Finally, 53 points have been allocated to Arcane, so our Bloodboon and Furious Blade of Ansbach will deal quite a bit of damage in the process.

Now that the stats are out of the way, let’s move on to gameplay and optimization tips for Shadow Arts Samurai.

Before or at the start of a fight, I usually cast Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength, then open my Flask of Wondrous Physick. I then do my best to deal as much damage as possible in this burst opener since all the buffs are active.

I know you want to rip your enemies to shreds by using Witching Hour Slash, but we all know that’s impossible. However, depending on your level in the game, especially during boss fights, you will know when to use a fully charged Witching Hour Slash without getting hit.

Most of the time, this is when the boss is down or it does an action that requires a long recovery or preparation time. This is when its fully charged version is used. As mentioned above, if you misuse this skill, most of the time you will pay with death.

In addition, I recommend changing Millicent’s Prosthesis to Crusade Insignia when exploring the world or dungeons. This Talisman is very effective when dealing with monsters because once you kill an enemy, you will have a persistent attack buff that refreshes every time you kill a new enemy, ultimately saving you a lot of time.

If you are able to master the Shadow Arts combo, you can follow up with the uncharged version of the skill in certain situations. If you do it correctly, you will deal high damage to the target.

All in all, Shadow Arts Samurai is another fun and engaging Samurai build, especially its powerful Slash Damage is addictive. If you want to shred your enemies like a boss, don’t miss this build. See you next time!
