<br>Mind the Pity: Always take note that the game gives a guaranteed 4-Star within every 10 pulls and a guaranteed 5-Star within every 80 to 90 pulls. Every other successful 5-Star is a guaranteed unit from the current banner. However, every other 5-Star pull is subjected to the 50-50 Rule - you either get a unit from the current banner or one from the Standard Ban<br><br>As you can see, there has been a diverse line-up of video games to be thankful for this past year. Let us know one of your favorite releases of 2020 in the comments below and share how it may have impacted your life in any way!<br><br>All of which should be read as quite the startling accomplishment to see achieved, given that at its most basic level, Genshin Impact is an action RPG whose fantastical storytelling, main characters and method for narrative are, though more direct and baked into progression, not exactly memorable or stand-out by any stretch. Your only agency or presence in the world as a character is that of one of two siblings referred to simply as the Traveller. A character whom, outside of a handful of solitary lines, rarely speaks and emotes with anything but an accepting smile. The supposed engagement with characters, like most Gacha releases, lies on the assembly of characters you accrue -- be it naturally or through investment of real money -- over the course of the story being told. And by extension, a significant part of the where the RPG elements come into play, maxing out the levels and skills of the characters at your disposal.<br><br>My normal taste in games leans towards arcade and action, but this year has been one where the extra focus to hone in on pinpoint-perfect reflexes just hasn't been as available as I'd like. Instead I've been taking it easy, using gaming as a way to relax and escape into a more manageable world. The game that I'm thankful for this year is SnowRunner?, which doesn't have an enemy anywhere in the whole world but instead requires the player to use its tools to complete a huge series of jobs across hostile terrain. While sorting out the controls takes some effort, once learned there are a huge amount of tools available to tackle even the roughest wilderness. Mountain tracks carved by streams, muddy bogs, rivers frozen solid and snowdrifts that even the highest-traction tires can't get a grip on all stand in the way of delivering Cargo to Place. You can tackle the challenges with brute force, careful plotting of the optimal route or relying on the winch to basically drag the truck to the goal, but there's always a way if you're patient enough. Few events are timed and just about everything is optional if you decide that a particular job feels like a bit much. There's pressure in navigating the tougher areas, of course, but otherwise SnowRunner? is a game of choosing a task and tackling it however you like, driving across the beauty of a wilderness that's just barely been touched by humans. It's challenging, sure, but also relaxing and satisfying, and I'm thankful there are games that let me unwind into a simpler, more-focused world.<br> <br>In short, as the player nears the "hard pity" of 80 pulls on the weapon banner or 90 on the character banner, the chances of obtaining a five-star increase little by little (theorized at around 6% per wish) until they hit 100%. For the character banner, for example, that looks something like t<br><br> <br>Chronicled Path works similarly to the Weapon Banner's Epitomized Path system, with some differences. Players chart a course for whichever five-star character or weapon they hope to pull. When they pull a five-star, it's a 50/50 split whether they get the one they selected or a different one. If they lose the 50/50, the next five-star is a guaranteed win. It's a gamble between the selected five-star and all the other featured five-stars, not a gamble between the featured five-star and a Standard p<br><br> <br>The best teammates for Diona in this composition are the usual suspects: Ganyu or Ayaka if you have them, and Kaeya , Rosaria , or Chongyun if you don’t. Remember that you can swap to these damage characters immediately after using Diona’s Skill in order to pass over the Elemental Particles and help charge your DPS’ Burst. Shenhe can also be a fun character to use alongside Diona if you want Diona’s abilities to do significant damage even as a supp<br><br> <br>Not to mention, a lot of Hydro characters are known for their versatility. For instance, Neuvillette, Ayato and Childe are both some of the most powerful DPS in the game, while Barbara and Kokomi are ever-reliable healers. Furina and Nilou offer quite the balance between heals and attacks, while Yelan can break the game at Constellation 6 with her multi-faceted abilit<br>A game I'm thankful for in 2020 is one that was met with universal critical acclaim and extremely-divided fan reactions: The Last of Us Part II. There are elements of this SLG game money guide that can be legitimately criticized, but personally the good outweighed the bad. But while I would argue this is overall a great game by most objective standards, I'm thankful for it because of more personal reasons. The original game was a topic of deep discussion with my other half so naturally we were anticipating this release. Playing through the game together was a good bonding activity and led to hours of discussion about the character choices and the storytelling approaches used in The Last of Us Part II.<br>
