Since Path of Exile 2 has solved a series of issues with the new season Dawn of the Hunt, new race events will be launched.
This race event is free and open to players on PC and console platforms, and will also give some rewards to those who actively improve themselves and challenge others.
The main purpose is to let players enjoy the fun of the game and compete with others to see if they are the best players.
TimeThis time is divided into three games, each one week apart, and all players participate in the event at the same time, which means that if players in other time zones want to participate in the event, they need to adjust their time to ensure that they don’t miss it.
The specific times of the three races are as follows:
Race 1: May 25, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race 2: Jun 01, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race 3: Jun 08, 2025 1:00 PM (PDT) Race RulesAll players can try it. Players will create characters and register according to the link released by POE 2. After creating the character, they cannot drive the character until the start of the race.
Participants compete to be the first to defeat Doryani in Act 3.. This is a standard Solo Self-Found, so players need to be prepared, and if they die, they will be penalized for one minute, during which you will not be able to move.
And this competition has a ranking mechanism. At that time, Path of Exile 2 will release a ranking link, which will facilitate players to check their respective rankings during the game, or to see who took the shortest time after the game.
Reward MechanismCurrently, there are seven classes in POE 2, including the newly added Huntress. The highest ranking person in each class will receive Demigod’s Virtue Unique, which means that there will be 7 chances to get this reward in one game.
There will be 3 games in total, so there are 21 chances in total. If you want to have a chance to win the prize, it is best to be careful not to die.
And there is no limit on the number of times a player can participate in the game. That’s mean that players have a chance to get multiple Demigod’s Virtues.
At the same time, the player who completes the race the fastest in each class in the three games will receive any table mat printed with POE 2 game content; and the fastest player among all players in the three games will receive a Divination Card.
With the increase in future competition activities, POE 2 will cycle all Demigod’s items in a loop. In the end, it will be combined into an armor set, including a weapon, so if you are very good, you may be able to collect the entire set of armor.
The competition will be broadcast live on the video platform, and all participants can choose whether to broadcast live by themselves.
At the same time, the items won by players can be traded, which means that even if you don’t win the game, you can use $1 to get prizes.
The main purpose of Path of Exile 2 launching this event may be to keep players enthusiastic about the game, test and optimize new game mechanisms that may be launched in the future, and the launch of new activities can effectively stimulate players’ discussion about the game.
In the recent release of Diablo 4 Season 8, the most discussed point among players, in addition to the changes to the boss, is the changes to Battle Pass.
D4 has been thinking about Battle Pass for a long time. This S8 finally solved the problem of the difficulty in obtaining Battle Pass rewards by introducing new Reliquary System to replace the previous Battle Pass, but new Reliquary System itself also has some problems, which makes players feel dissatisfied.
In April, the game content of both Path of Exile 2 and Last Epoch was significantly updated. However, since Diablo 4 decided to postpone the release of the second expansion to 2026, the 2025 roadmap for Diablo 4 looks a bit boring, with only one joint news in the second half of the year.
So combined with the above reasons, this time, Battle Pass was replaced with new Reliquary System, caused a lot of discussion in the player community.
More ChoicesThe most obvious difference compared to Battle Pass is that new Reliquary System provides players with more paid options. New Reliquary System no longer provides a single pass that includes free and paid appearances and premium props, but is more finely divided.
There is a free route and three paid routes for players to choose from. Players can choose one or more of the three appearance props according to their needs and use Platinum to obtain prop and also can get some $1.
The price of each appearance prop is different. Take S8 as an example:
Belial’s Return - Free Weapons - 200 Platinum Beasts - 500 Platinum Armor - 800 PlatinumPreviously, all paid appearance props only required the get of a Battle Pass, and the price of a Battle Pass was 1000 Platinum. Players can still use 1000 Platinum to get three reliquaries. But for players who only want one or two, it may be more cost-effective to get them separately.
It should be noted that once you get a reliquary, you can no longer get all reliquaries on 1000 Platinum. So players need to consider whether they want those reliquaries carefully to ensure that they don’t spend more Platinum.
More Complicated ProcessAlthough D4 S8 provides players with a wealth of choices, the way to unlock reliquaries has been redesigned, making the process of the entire season more cumbersome. Before S8, you only need to play specific games in the game to earn XP and upgrade Battle Pass.
But, in S8 players must complete the season quests to obtain unique Favor Tokens to obtain the reliquary and obtain the items in it.
In addition, the past season completed the season quests to obtain Favor to increase reputation, and now this system seems to have been integrated into new Reliquary System.
Due to the introduction of the new Reliquary System, players who are used to the old process may feel confused and need some time to adapt to the new process, which is troublesome. Perhaps Diablo 4 will take some measures to solve this problem.
Gillette is one of the brands under P&G dedicated to shaving, body care, and cleaning. The brand announced that it will join forces with EA FC 25 to jointly work to bring players a better experience inside and outside the game.

Gillette is also taking this action to integrate resources in the sports field and enhance its influence in the sports field, constantly innovating new products and experiences for consumers.
Recently, with everyone’s attention, the joint cooperation between Monopoly GO and Star Wars has been smoothly launched. This linkage will last for two months, mainly about the characters related to Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian in Star Wars. Monopoly GO will also provide Star Wars-related characters, themed emoticons, dice and shields for players to collect.
Since its release in 2023, Monopoly GO has developed rapidly and achieved high profits in a very short time, making it one of the most successful mobile games in history. And its extremely high game update frequency and continuous linkage with other brands has always attracted the attention of players.
At the end of September 2024, the most popular event among players was the collaboration between Monopoly GO and Marvel. The event lasted from September 26 to December 5, and players could unlock content related to Marvel heroes in the game. So this collaboration between Monopoly GO and Star Wars also attracted much attention from players and is regarded as a very “groundbreaking” collaboration.
The collaboration has been online since May 1, and players can enter the game and unlock Skywalker Saga in Star Wars series and The Mandalorian in Disney+ series. Interestingly, in this collaboration, players can see the game character Peg-E watching “Star Wars” in Mr. Monopoly’s cinema in Monopoly GO. The most unexpected thing about this collaboration is that the world of Monopoly GO will also be rebuilt based on Star Wars.
In this collaboration, players can log in to Monopoly GO and complete activities to earn Star Wars-related stickers. In addition, those who log in to the game on May 4 will receive a special token “in honor of all Star Wars fans.” to commemorate this collaboration.
Collaboration Content And The Possibility Of Multiple CollaborationsHolding Tycoon Racers multiplayer events with Pod and Rebel Racers at iconic locations such as Mos Espa Grand Arena and Hoth; teaming up with friends to participate in cooperative activities such as building statues and starships; and participating in special excavation activities on Tatooine to potentially earn Star Wars souvenirs.
In this event, collecting $1 also rewards a large number of Star Wars-themed emoticons, dice, and shields in the game for players to collect.
If both parties are absolutely satisfied with this collaboration between Monopoly GO and Star Wars, then Monopoly GO may have a second or third collaboration with Star Wars. After all, Fortnite has reached many collaborations with Star Wars, and Star Wars’ film and television dramas, video games, and novels will be released one after another. Future cooperation should be more distinctive.
The returning Jingle Hells mode brings a holiday-themed makeover to Liberty Falls, including decorations and Snowballs that can be thrown at the undead. It also removes Mystery Box, Crafting Tables, and Arsenal Machines to increase the challenge. This change may cause some confusion for new players, who may turn to $1 to complete some objectives more easily.
Treyarch has revamped Black Ops 6 Zombies Liberty Falls map and added a holiday theme to Jingle Hells limited-time mode. Compared to earlier games in the series, CoD BO6 has gone a step further and celebrated the holiday season in many ways.
Many games celebrate Holidays in their own way, and the latest Call of Duty is no exception. Fans of Call of Duty series have previously seen Holiday season celebrations in games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Vanguard, and Black Ops Cold War.
Typically during holiday season events, the developers will give out relevant CoD BO6 Redeem Codes, especially during special events such as Jingle Hells. Be sure to stay tuned to BO6 for the latest news to get new redeem codes. They can unlock skins, weapons, and other exciting rewards.
Changes To Liberty FallsModern Warfare Remastered also features a holiday-themed Crash map, while many fans will recognize the festive Shipment. These changes to classic locations bring some new twists to maps that old fans are already familiar with. As part of CODMAS 2024, multiple changes are coming to BO6, including Jingle Hells changes to Liberty Falls.
Call of Duty blog recently confirmed details of CODMAS 2024, which includes Jingle Hells limited-time mode for Zombies' Liberty Falls map. Like Holiday Nuketown map, Liberty Falls is decorated with garlands, streamers, snowmen, lights, Christmas trees, wreaths, and snow. Enemies in Call of Duty Zombies are also dressed up for the season, with zombies, Manglers, Parasites, and more wearing Holiday gear.
Floating big socks will give players energy-boosting gifts or spawn Vermin, zombies will periodically drop gifts, and Holiday Cheer Gobblegum is available at Gobblegum Machines. CODMAS 2024 runs until January 3, so players only have a little over two weeks to get in the holiday spirit.
What's Included In Jingle Hells? Liberty Falls Main QuestYou can still complete Liberty Falls main quest in Jingle Hells, but be aware that it will be much harder due to all the different mechanics. There doesn't appear to be any unique rewards for completing it in LTM, though. Note that if you complete the quest in Jingle Hells, you'll get the standard Main Quest completion reward.
Holiday Cheer GobblegumThere's a brand new kind of Gobblegum available during Jingle Hells event, called Holiday Cheer Gobblegum. This Whimsical gum won't give you any advantages against hordes of the undead, but it will give the zombies a festive swag.
Snowball PilesSimilar to the feature in Nuketown Holiday, you can collect piles of snowballs around Liberty Falls, which replace Lethal Equipment, allowing you to throw them at zombies for high damage.
Naughty Or Nice Power-UpYou can find Naughty or Nice Power-Up around Liberty Falls, a giant floating sock that will give out gifts or spawn Vermin depending on how naughty or nice you are. Whether a Power-Up is a Naughty or Nice is random based on how you play the map.
SnowmenThe snowmen of Liberty Falls are admittedly jolly, but also sinister and unfriendly, dotting the map and potentially hiding zombies or loot if left undestroyed. It's wise to target these snowmen, especially since they drop a lot of loot when eliminated.
Present BoxesIn some cases, zombies will drop a small present box, which, when opened, grants an ongoing present. It's unclear what this means, but be sure to keep an eye out.
S.A.M.T.A. TrialsTrial computers that appear around the map now have a more festive look, and once you enter the map, there are also some gift boxes that appear near S.A.M.T.A. computers, which are worth checking out.
Frozen RoundsThe cold weather only makes things more difficult, as Jingle Hells introduces Frozen Rounds, a strange mist in the air that will make you feel freezing cold and your reaction speed will be greatly slowed during certain rounds. You can stay warm indoors to avoid the effects, though.
In addition to Jingle Hells, Black Ops 6 players have a lot of other ways to celebrate Holidays. GobbleGum Mania, Merry Mayhem, and Archie's Festival Frenzy have also joined the rotation, with the first two events running until December 19, and the latter from December 19 to January 3.
Players can grab two Holiday Packs from the store, with Season's Bleedings Pack including two Weapon Blueprints, a Calling Card, an Emblem, an Emote, a Spray, and Toro's Daddy Claus Operator Skin. Warzone players can also celebrate Holidays with Holiday RushRan-Snack, and Slay Ride Resurgence Modes, as well as decorations similar to Black Ops 6's Nuketown and Liberty Falls.
Many players are busy reuniting with family and friends during the holidays, and CODMAS 2024 ensures that they can continue to celebrate at their leisure. As Treyarch continues to update CoD BO6, this may not be the last holiday for the game.
The above is an introduction to all the gameplay of Jingle Hells limited-time mode in CoD Black Ops 6. Have you mastered the secrets? Looking forward to your exciting performance in the game!
Azarian, the Forsaken Son is the final boss of The City of Seven Waters quest in Path Of Exile 2. He is tall and uses flaming flails and scythe as weapons. Azarian is the son of Halani, the Water Goddess, who guards Essence of Water. After defeating Azarian, you will find Water Goddess’ corpse.
Although this boss looks intimidating, don’t worry, his attacks are not unpredictable. Here are some tips for you. You will learn how to defeat Azarian in POE 2 from this article.
How To Find Azarian, The Forsaken Son?First you need to find Azarian. It is located in Keth Sanctum. In Act 2: Buried Shrines, go to the lowest level Halani Shrine below Keth, the Lost City, where you will see an enormous monster. That is Azarian, The Forsaken Son, who guards the tomb of Water Goddess.
After defeating Azarian, you will view the tomb of Water Goddess and obtain Essence of Water, a Path Of Exile 2 Item that can help you complete The City of Seven Waters quest. However, defeating this boss is not that easy.
When fighting Azarian, there is a Fire lamp in each of the four corners of the battlefield. If the fire lamps are broken, it will ignite a quarter of the ground. You need to avoid Azarian hitting them as much as possible, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage in the battle.
Azarian holds a different weapon in each hand, and it has a wide range of attacks. The combination of flaming flails and scythe makes Azarian very tricky, and you may be attacked by it whether you are close to it or not. If you don’t prepare in advance, it may be difficult to defeat it.
What Preparations Should Be Made Before Fighting Azarian?Being well prepared before starting the boss battle is a must for players, which will help you win more POE2 Currency in the campaign.
Prepare Equipment With Fire ResistanceEquipment is of course essential. Azarian attacks always carry fire, and broken fire lamps will also cause damage to you, so you need to improve your fire resistance.
Equipment with fire resistance can help you better deal with Azarian, and they will greatly improve your defense in this battle. If you have a $1, you can use it to upgrade your equipment. In addition, a Ruby Charm can also play a big role in the battle.
Choose Ranged BuildsChoosing ranged builds to deal with Azarian will be more advantageous. If you choose melee builds, you need to stay away from Azarian as much as possible during the battle, otherwise it will use skills to drag you to its side and cause you multiple damage.

How To Avoid Azarian Hitting Fire Lamps?Once the fire lamps start burning, you will be greatly restricted in the battle. Azarian will frequently move to your side to attack you, and if you want to avoid it, you have to step into the fire.
The more fire lamps are destroyed, the larger the burning area of the ground will be, and your dodge range will also be reduced. Therefore, you need to avoid Azarian destroying fire lamps as much as possible during the battle to leave more room for yourself.
You can try to pull Azarian in the battle, try to keep Azarian away from the location of fire lamps, and try to keep Azarian moving back and forth in a straight line. In this way, when it attacks, it will avoid fire lamps.
How To Avoid The Skill Attacks Of Azarian?Azarian in POE 2 has 4 skills. If you are not prepared, you will be easily hit by him and hurt. Fortunately, Azarian attacks have some rules, and we can avoid them by observing and predicting his actions in advance. The following are all the skill descriptions and countermeasures of Azarian.
Double Spinning FlailAzarian will quickly swing his flaming flails in a straight line. The flaming flails will cause heavy damage to you. This move has a wide range, so you need to be careful to avoid it.
Notice that Azarian will start to spin before launching the attack. Since this attack will only move in a straight line, just dodge to the sides of Azarian when he starts to spin to avoid damage.
Scythe SmashAzarian will raise his scythe to attack. There will be a brief delay between Azarian raising his weapon and the attack being launched, so you need to seize this opportunity. Once you see Azarian start to swing the scythe, immediately dodge to the sides of Azarian.
Flame WallAzarian will swing his scythe and release a fireball, which will form a wall of flames along the rolling path. This wall of flames will last for a while and block your path. If you are trapped by the flame wall, you will become passive.
When Azarian swings the scythe and prepares to cast a wall of fire, pay attention to its direction to determine where the wall of fire will be generated, and avoid the place where the barrier will be generated in time.
Flail BeamAzarian will throw flaming flails forward and then generate a heat wave with a beam. This heat wave will move forward quickly, and you need to retreat in time when you see the beam to buy yourself time to dodge.
In general, although Azarian’s attack is terrible, it is not impossible to counter. Throughout the battle, you need to adjust your position constantly, try to avoid fire damage flexibly and seize the opportunity to attack Azarian. Azarian’s attack range is very wide, and if you stand there stupidly, it is easy to be located by it.
In fact, many players think that fire lamps are more troublesome than Azarian, the Forsaken Son itself. You need to always pay attention to Azarian’s direction to avoid it hitting fire lamps.
The above is the complete guide for defeating Azarian, the Forsaken Son in Path Of Exile 2. I believe you can win this battle. I wish you good luck!
With the advent of EA Sports FC 25 update, defensive midfielders are widely used in multiple formations this season. They can play a role as additional cover when defending the game.

There are various gems in Path of Exile 2. For example, skill gems, support gems, buff gems and meta gems. What are their usage and how to use those POE 2 Items? Such a complex system is undoubtedly a headache for players.
So in order to give a guide to novice players, the following will introduce the uses of various gems.
Skill GemsSkill gems have become more important in Path of Exile 2. Players need to rely on skill gems to release skills. In Path of Exile 1, you had to put skill gems into the link sockets of equipment. In PoE 2, what is put into the equipment link sockets has become Runes, and skill gems need to be put into Skill Gem menu.
For PC players, you can use G key to quickly open the skill gem menu, or use the right button of the mouse to click on the skill gem in the inventory. For PS players, you can only transfer to the skill tab through the character menu.
The big slot on the left side of the menu is used to place skill gems. And on the right side, small slots are used to place Support Gems.
How To Use Skill Gems?Most of the skill gems players get in the game are basically Uncut Skill Gems. Uncut Skill Gems are actually the unlocked state of skill gems. Clicking on an Uncut Skill Gem will bring you to Gemcutting menu, where you can choose the skill you want to unlock.
There are three types of Uncut Gems in the game: Uncut Skill Gems, Uncut Support Gems, and Uncut Spirit Gems.
How Many Skill Gems Can We Use?On the skill gem menu, the top one is your basic skills, or the spells given to the player by the caster equipment. Below are 9 skill gem slots, where you can put or remove skill gems at will. However, some skill gems have attribute requirements, and if your attributes are not met, you cannot use them.
Skill Gem Levels And BreakpointsIn Path of Exile 2, skill gems have levels. All gems can be upgraded, except for Support gems.
The skill gems that players first obtain are unlocked by level 1 Uncut Skill Gems. The level of Uncut Skill Gems determines the skill gem level. Although skill gems allow players to unlock skills, some skills have an initial level higher than level 1, which means that you must use a higher level skill gem to unlock them. Players can see the row-by-row stratification on Gemcutting menu:
Row 1 - Level 1 Uncut Skill Gems or above Row 2 - Level 3 Uncut Skill Gems or above Row 3 - Level 5 Uncut Skill Gems or above Row 4 - Level 7 Uncut Skill Gems or above Row 5 - Level 9 Uncut Skill Gems or above Row 6 - Level 11 Uncut Skill Gems or above Row 7 - Level 13 Uncut Skill Gems or aboveFor Soul Gems, the threshold level of Uncut Spirit Gems is Level 4, Level 8, and Level 14. These high-level Uncut Gems will drop as we progress through the game, and are not completely random. Players will definitely be able to get a higher level of Skill Gems at some stage.
How To Upgrade Gems?Use Uncut Skill Gems to upgrade Skill Gems. A Level 3 Uncut Skill Gem can upgrade a Level 1 Skill Gem to Level 3. If you directly use a Level 3 Skill Gem to unlock a skill in the first row, then the skill will be upgraded to Level 3.
However, when you upgrade the skill gem level, its attribute requirements will also increase. If your attributes cannot meet its requirements, the upgraded skill gem will not be usable.
Players can also upgrade skill gems by putting +level skill affixes on equipment. In this way, the attribute requirements of the skill gem will not be increased, but the player can enjoy the benefits of the skill level increase. You can replace the affixes you want for the equipment through $1.
Support GemsThe sockets of support gems are just behind the skill gems. They can enhance or even modify skills. Support gems are mainly divided into Strength Support Gems, Dexterity Support Gems and Intelligence Support Gems.
Support gems have no levels and cannot be upgraded. However, if you want to unlock higher-level support gems, you still need to rely on the dropped level 2 Uncut Skill Gems and level 3 Uncut Skill Gems.
Putting in support gems has requirements for your attributes. For example, the requirement for Intelligence Support Gems is Intelligence (+5), and you have 10 intelligence points, then you can only put in two Intelligence Support Gems. But the combination of support gems and skill gems is not arbitrary, and there is a certain compatibility between them. If you are confused, you can click on the Show Recommended Gems button in the lower left corner of the menu to see how to match.
There are two slots behind the initial skill gems. If you want to put more auxiliary gems, you can add a slot for skill gems through Lesser Jeweler’s Orb.
Buff GemsBoth buff gems and meta gems in Path of Exile 2 need to be unlocked through Uncut Spirit gems. Buff gems can be placed in the setup like other gems, but you need to activate them manually in the gem menu to activate them.
Activating buff gems requires Spirit. If you don’t have enough Spirit resources, you can’t activate them. The more other gems a buff gem is linked to, the more Spirit resources are required. Spirit resources can be obtained through characteristic equipment or equipment affixes.
Meta GemsMeta gems are also called trigger gems. It also requires a certain amount of Spirit resources to be activated, but Spirit resources it requires are fixed and will not increase with the number of linked gems.
It has a built-in Energy bar in meta gems that can accumulate some energy when you complete certain conditions. When Energy bar is full, it will automatically release the slot skill and reset an Energy bar. This is a good way for players to save resources in battle.
All the above is a basic introduction to all gems in Path of Exile 2. I hope it can be helpful for players who have just started this game. The class system and skill system of POE 2 are very complex, and the equipment matching has a high degree of freedom, which means more possibilities for character construction, which will bring endless fun to players.

Limited Time ModesArchie’s Festival Frenzy brings three limited-time modes to players this time: Infectious Holiday (Multiplayer), Jingle Hells: Liberty Falls (Zombies), and Slay Ride Resurgence (Warzone). All three modes add a unique holiday atmosphere.
Infectious Holiday (Multiplayer)In order to add to the festive atmosphere, players who are defeated will be transformed into zombies wearing special Christmas costumes in this infected mode.

Players will once again enter Liberty Falls to fight a large number of zombies. This time, Liberty Falls is decorated with garlands, ribbons, flashing lights, Christmas trees, etc. And the mode comes with a new main quest, additional GobbleGums, and new Power-Ups.
Here are some things to keep in mind when playing Jingle Hells:
Snowmen can be found everywhere in Liberty Falls. Some of them hide a zombie, and some hide rewards. So when you see them, don’t hesitate to smash them. When you knock down a zombie, a small gift box may drop. Don’t worry, it’s all rewards. Just keep playing and you’ll get more rewards. S.A.M.T.A. will drop gifts near Trial machines. Keep your eyes open and don’t miss them. In some special rounds, a very cold fog will appear on the map, which will make your movements very slow. But if you are in the house, it will not affect you. Slay Ride Resurgence (Warzone)Slay Ride Resurgence returns to Warzone once again. Santa Claus has returned from the dead and seized Urzikstan’s train. Players must not only fight against other players but also survive Santa’s fingers to win.
But players need to be careful, Santa Claus is not so easy to deal with. He holds a mini-gun and will shoot at any player he sees. If you can defeat him, you can get his mini-gun.
Slay Ride has some changes compared to the normal Resurgence.
Players spawn with Snowballs instead of Lethal Equipment. (Snowballs work the same way as Throwing Knives.)
At the beginning of each game, there are 6 Christmas trees near the loot storage. Capturing them will increase the loot. The longer you occupy Christmas trees, the higher the reward you will get. By the way, there are three levels of Christmas tree rewards, starting from level 1 by default. Level 3 Christmas trees will drop Extra Skill Vest, as well as weapons with five attachments. The most important of these is Black Site Key. When you get it, a door will appear near Christmas tree. What Inside the door are some zombies and a mini-boss. Defeating them will give you high-quality loot.
When your game time is about halfway through, you can find Zombie Reindeers, which are moving loot. However, everyone can see Zombie Reindeers on the map. If you want to get the rewards, you have to be prepared to fight other players.
In the end, Urzikstan train will be guarded by zombie Santa Claus. It is surrounded by festive zombies. The gas circle will shrink around Urzikstan train, and players will fight on Urzikstan train.
All in all, Archie’s Festival Frenzy brings a strong festive atmosphere to Black Ops 6. Grab your weapons, spend Christmas with the zombies, and loot them for rewards from this event.
On December 12, Adventure Club Haunted Mansion on Monopoly Go was opened to players worldwide. After a series of test events, Scopely has improved the event to make it good enough to release to the rest of Monopoly Go gaming community.
Monopoly GO's Haunted Mansion is a thrilling new mini-game that guarantees thrills, heart-pounding moments, and plenty of exciting rewards. Each level of Haunted Mansion has a few challenges that you must complete to advance to the next level.
To complete a challenge, you need to tap an object to trigger an action, then draw a card from the deck that matches or exceeds the number on the deck. While the entire game is based on luck, there are several special cards that can affect the outcome of your adventure.
Detailed Explanation Of Special Power Cards In Haunted MansionTo conquer Haunted Mansion and deal with the mischievous ghosts, Monopoly GO players need to learn how to master their 40 cards. The deck consists of 36 numbered cards and four special Power Cards that can really turn the tide of a game. Here are Power Cards.
Shuffle Card allows you to reset the deck, allowing you to start over when you need to. Team Boost Card multiplies its value based on the number of teammates you have on the same object. On Fire Card supercharges your deck, giving you extra cards during a winning streak. Ice Cold Card adds much-needed bonuses to help you overcome tricky challenges.Interestingly, the deck adjusts based on how you've won or lost recently. If you've recently suffered a losing streak, your deck will adjust to 'Ice Cold', giving you extra points for completing actions. On the other hand, if you've recently been on a winning streak, your deck will adjust to 'On Fire', giving you extra points for your next action, helping you reach milestones faster and get rewards.
The Best Haunted Mansion StrategyIn Haunted Mansion mini-game, you can't really control what cards you draw, but there are some strategies you can use to increase your chances of success. First, work with your team members and coordinate your actions.
The more players working on an object, the more useful the Team Boost Card becomes. For example, if you and two other teammates are all working on the same challenge and you play a Team Boost Card, its value will be tripled. This will allow you to complete the challenge faster and move on to the next one.
Second, pay attention to the temperature of your deck. When your state is hot, your deck will heat up and you will have a chance to draw On Fire cards. However, if you face a string of failures, your deck will cool down and you will draw Ice Cold cards.
