General News

Players, as you all know, a new crafting PoE 2 currency called Aldur's Legacy was introduced in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.0 Return of the Ancients. So, how exactly does Aldur's Legacy work, and how does it benefit us? Congratulations, you're about to discover the immense power of this rune in Runes of Aldur league.

Basic Effects and Usage Restrictions

Aldur's Legacy only triggers when socketed into Ezomyte Unique items or Kalguuran Unique items. It directly destroys Unique item and transforms its core ability into a rune usable by other equipment—a rune within a rune.

This allows players to transfer special affixes originally bound to Unique items to regular or existing equipment.

It's crucial to note that each character or each piece of equipment can only socket one of these runes. Therefore, players only have one chance to decide which Unique item to extract the ability from, and must choose extremely carefully.

This design, which turns the specific affixes of Unique items into portable attributes, opens up entirely new possibilities for building extreme specialization playstyles.

Synergy with Smith of Kitava

For classes choosing Smith of Kitava Ascendancy, Aldur's Legacy is a perfect complement. This Ascendancy prohibits wearing rare quality armor, but attributes can be acquired through special methods.

We can destroy a Unique armor piece and implant its affixes into our regular armor, thus circumventing the equipment restrictions of Ascendancy and gaining unique hybrid advantages.

For example, combined with Tecrod's Gaze, you can gain an additional 1.5% Life Regeneration, making your character a near-immortal behemoth.

Notable Unique Item Candidates and Their Extractable Affixes

Polcirkeln

This Sapphire Ring's affix allows chilled enemies to shatter as if frozen, making it ideal for ice-based or Martial Artist builds.

In Patch 0.5.0, rings will have rune slots, so extracting Polcirkeln's abilities as runes will allow any ring to possess this control and burst damage effect, especially suitable for melee or throwing builds like Nightfall.

Quill Rain

This bow is known for its massive Attack Speed ​​bonus (typically 30%~50%) and Arrow Speed. If rune upgrades retain Attack Speed ​​and enhance this and the new affix, even with a slight numerical reduction, it will provide a revolutionary boost to all bow builds.

The downside is the possibility of randomly drawing Arrow Speed ​​instead of Attack Speed, but the overall benefit remains extremely high.

Trenchtimbre

Trenchtimbre affix, which increases and decreases Minion Attack Speed, permanently affects you, giving rise to an extremely exaggerated attack speed cycle in Titan builds at the end of Patch 0.4.0.

Although PoE 2 Patch 0.5.0 may have balanced this interaction, retaining this mechanism as a rune would still allow non-summoner classes to gain massive Attack Speed ​​through Minion speed affix.

Olrovasara Torment Club

On hit, gain up to 500 maximum Lightning Damage based on the enemy's power for 20 seconds.

By socketing this rune into a higher-level one-handed mace, any melee class can gain burst damage that dynamically scales with combat strength.

Hrimnor's Hymn Oak Greathammer

This affix grants an additional Aftershock to your slam skills, a game-changing boost for Titan or other slam builds.

If you transfer this effect to any weapon through Aldur's Legacy, you can consistently get double Aftershock Damage, greatly improving your efficiency in clearing maps and killing bosses.

Community-Compiled Affixes

Additionally, the community has compiled a list of powerful affixes that may be drawn from various Unique items, including but not limited to:

• Double Energy Generation: Suitable for builds that rely on energy-triggered skills (such as spell-triggered builds).
• Lucky Block Damage Calculation: Taken from Svalinn shield, it allows block chance to be calculated twice, a massive boost for any shield-wielding build.
• 1% More Unarmed Damage Per 5 Points of Strength: Combined with Hollow Palm Technique, Monk can achieve astonishing unarmed damage output.
• 15% of damage taken is absorbed by the life of a vulnerable ally: The companion ability received a significant buff in Patch 0.5.0, greatly improving the character's survivability.
• Triggers Ember Fusillade: Automatically triggers during spellcasting, suitable for automation and multi-skill combos.
• Each stack of Rage also increases armor: Provides double defensive benefits for Rage builds.

Speculation on Affix Inheritance Rules

We can speculate that the affixes extracted from runes may be affected by the base type of the original equipment.

For example, affixes like Attack Speed ​​or Critical Strike extracted from weapons will probably only be socketed into weapons of the same type.

Furthermore, affixes like Facebreaker, which provide 8-12 points of physical damage and 3-4 points of damage per boss's face, might be more suitable for porting to two-handed weapons or one-handed hammers to achieve maximum damage stacking.

Overall Value Assessment

Aldur's Legacy brings unprecedented custom affix porting gameplay to PoE 2 Patch 0.5.0, greatly expanding the boundaries of gear building.

It particularly benefits Ascendancy classes like Smith of Kitava Ascendancy, which previously sacrificed rare gear slots for unique abilities, while also allowing many interesting affixes previously confined to low-level base gear to reach top-tier late-game gear.

However, the drop rate of Aldur's Legacy is expected to be extremely low, and its market price may be very high. Regular players may need to invest a significant amount of PoE2 currency to experience the full potential of Aldur's Legacy.

PoE 2 Patch 0.5.0 and Runes of Aldur league will officially launch on May 29th (Pacific Daylight Time). Which affixes will be ported will undoubtedly spark large-scale testing and development within the community.

Thanks to its unique underwater exploration setting and the popularity garnered by its predecessor, Subnautica 2 was warmly received by fans following its Early Access launch on May 14th of this year.

As a direct sequel to Subnautica, Subnautica 2 introduces a new storyline and fresh environments. The changes in the latter mean you must fully utilize the new crafting system to survive the rigors of an alien underwater world.

With this in mind, we have compiled a list of essential tools you should prioritize crafting to survive on Proteus, along with the necessary preparations required to begin the crafting process.

Using the fabricator

In Subnautica 2, almost all items and tools are crafted using the fabricator.

Once you have established your base, you will find an initial fabricator located inside your Lifepod; this facility allows you to synthesize basic items. Later on, if you wish to craft more advanced gear, you will need to upgrade your fabricator.

Accordingly, the guide below lists the items you should prioritize crafting early in the game. Some of these items not only aid in your immediate survival but are also required as components when upgrading your fabricator.

Tadpole

Since Subnautica 2 is set in an underwater world, a vehicle is absolutely essential for venturing out from your base to explore, and Tadpole is your best companion during the early stages of the game.

The advantages of this vehicle include its agility, maneuverability, and ease of control. Furthermore, it boasts highly practical additional features, such as cargo storage and the ability to replenish your oxygen supply.

To unlock Tadpole, you must venture out and explore to locate three of its fragments in order to synthesize its blueprint. Afterward, back at your base, you will need to construct a Moonpool, followed by a Vehicle Fabricator.

Once those facilities are in place, simply deposit the following materials into Vehicle Fabricator to craft Tadpole:

• 2x Titanium Ingot
• 1x Glass
• 1x System Chip
• 1x Power Cell

These basic materials can only be obtained through exploration, and since constructing other base facilities also requires resources, farming for materials will inevitably consume a significant amount of your time and energy.

For this reason, we highly recommend checking out Subnautica 2 items for sale at IGGM! Whether you need to acquire raw materials or wish to directly unlock essential vehicles like Tadpole, our services have got you covered!

Repair Tool

As your primary vehicle during the early game, Tadpole is undoubtedly useful; however, it does have one drawback: it is prone to taking damage and wearing down. Given that swapping out vehicles isn't exactly a simple task, your next priority should be crafting a Repair Tool.

To do this, you will still need to collect three fragments, along with the following specific materials:

• 1x Basic Battery
• 1x Titanium Ingot
• 1x Sulphur
• 1x Wiring Kit

In fact, Repair Tool isn't just for Tadpole; it can also be used to repair other vehicles or exploration equipment. If your gear sustains damage during combat, repairing it immediately can often turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Additionally, while exploring underwater human ruins, you may occasionally encounter sunken wrecks. By using the tool to repair their hatches, you can gain access to search for supplies inside.

Sonic Resonator

This item functions as a stun weapon, though its effectiveness is limited; it is primarily useful for dispatching minor, insignificant enemies.

Its true value lies in its ability to quickly clear away hazardous, infectious substances, such as Viral Blooms, thereby helping you unlock new adaptations like Heat Tolerance.

Crafting this piece of gear requires two fragments, along with the following materials:

• 1x Basic Battery
• 2x Titanium Ingots
• 2x Lead
• 1x Wiring Kit

Wakemaker

This device is a wrist-mounted thruster that serves a dual purpose: providing both acceleration and illumination. Its hands-free design makes it incredibly convenient to use.

Although its two functions are straightforward, the acceleration boost significantly improves your efficiency when farming resources or making a quick escape. Meanwhile, the built-in light allows you to venture into pitch-black caves at any time without the need to carry a separate flashlight.

The blueprint for this item consists of three fragments, which are scattered approximately 100 to 200 meters north and south of your Lifepod. The other required materials are as follows:

• 1x Wiring Kit
• 1x Silver
• 1x Grease
• 1x Basic Battery

Standard O2 Tank

For humans, the single most vital resource for survival and exploration beneath the waves is undoubtedly oxygen! While your character starts with a basic oxygen reserve, carrying a dedicated Standard O2 Tank is a far better option!

This item provides an additional 75 units of oxygen storage capacity. No fragments are required; simply gather the following materials to craft it:

• 2x Titanium
• 2x Silver
• 1x Rubber

Later on, you can consume 2x Titanium and 1x Lithium to craft a Plasteel Ingot, allowing you to upgrade your Standard O2 Tank into a High Capacity Air Tank, thereby boosting your oxygen capacity to 120 units.

However, regardless of what supplementary oxygen storage devices you carry, you must maintain the habit of constantly monitoring your remaining oxygen levels to avoid the fatal predicament of venturing too far only to find yourself without enough air to return.

Habitat Builder

As you progress deeper into the game, upgrading your base and fabricator becomes imperative, and Habitat Builder is the indispensable tool for the job.

Crafting this item requires two specific fragments, as well as the following materials:

• 2x Titanium
• 1x Glass
• 1x Basic Battery
• 1x Copper Wire

With an upgraded Fabricator, you can craft more advanced vehicles and weapons, while your base becomes a more comfortable and habitable living space.

More importantly, you can take Habitat Builder with you to construct smaller outposts in various biomes; this not only boosts your exploration efficiency but also provides additional locations for storing supplies.

The tools listed above are the ones we recommend you prioritize crafting when you first begin playing Subnautica 2. Good luck on your adventures in the underwater world!

The official release date for WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7 is yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to launch on June 16th. While the date is still uncertain, some new content has already been revealed to players.

On May 27th, the official preview of Omnium Folio was released, allowing players to acquire more powerful runes for combat against Void.

This article will introduce you to information about Omnium Folio in WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7, hoping to help you better understand the system and gain an advantage in the game.

About Omnium Folio

Players will team up with Grand Magister Rommath and Magister Umbric on a quest to repair Sunstrider Omnium, an ancient artifact originally created by Dath'remar Sunstrider for researching and observing various schools of magic. After years of dormancy, Omnium has been reborn, and players must use its power to fight Void.

Omnium Folio is the first mid-game enhancement system introduced in World of Warcraft Midnight Patch 12.0.7. You can think of it as a rune tree that directly grants powerful passive skill bonuses, completely independent of your regular class talents and gear.

How to Unlock & Upgrade?

The unlocking process is simple: just find and complete the quest called Magister's Call in Ritual Sites hub or through Adventure Guide (Shift+J). Upon completion, you will receive Omnium Folio and can choose your first rune. The entire unlocking process takes approximately 15-20 minutes.

Omnium Folio is similar to a five-element talent tree, unlocking one row per week. Completing the weekly quest called Seeking Knowledge unlocks a new row, with a total of 5 weeks required to fully unlock it.

This system is time-limited and does not require farming reputation, key fragments, or using large amounts of WoW Midnight Gold. Completing the weekly quest grants one Mote of Omnial Inquiry, used to enhance the next rune. Once a talent row is unlocked, you can freely switch its rune options at any time outside of combat.

Weekly Detailed Rune Explanation

One row is unlocked each week in Omnium Folio. Below is a complete explanation of all available rune options for each week in WoW Midnight:

Week 1: Core Rune (Choose 1)

This is the foundation of Omnium Folio; all subsequent upgrades are related to this choice.

• Rune of Void-Touched Orbs: Every 10 seconds, you attract a Void-Touched orb, stacking up to 5. When you deal damage to an enemy, you fire all stored jewels at the enemy, dealing damage. If you cast a healing spell, the jewels fly to the nearest most wounded ally, each jewel restoring their health.
• Rune of Unleashed Fire: Your spells and skills have a very high chance to unleash a pillar of fire.

This deals fire damage to enemies or instantly restores health to the nearest most wounded ally.

Week 2: Augment Rune (Choose 1)

This rune row focuses on improving your survivability.

• Rune of Self-Mending: When your core rune deals damage or heals, you will also be healed if your health is below 75%.
• Rune of Void-Tainted Shell: If you take more than 10% of your maximum health in a single instance, you gain an absorption shield that lasts for 10 seconds. However, 50% of the damage will remain and continue to deal damage to you for the next 10 seconds. This effect can only trigger once every 30 seconds.
• Rune of Lynxlike Reflexes: Taking damage in combat increases your speed by 115 for 10 seconds. This effect can only trigger once every 30 seconds.

Week 3: Synergy Rune (No Choice)

This week's rune is not selectable. It offers only one option: a mandatory upgrade that applies either damage over time or healing over time.

Rune of Lingering: Your core rune now leaves a periodic effect that deals bonus damage to enemies or heals allies for 8 seconds. Your core rune will also prioritize targets not yet affected by this residual effect.

Week 4: Secondary Stat Rune (Choose 1)

This line allows you to customize your character's secondary stats in WoW Midnight.

• Rune of Critical Power: When your core rune is active, you gain a Critical Strike rating for 10 seconds. This effect stacks.
• Rune of Burning Haste: When your core rune is active, you gain a Haste rating for 10 seconds. This effect stacks.
• Rune of Masterful Cunning: When your core rune is active, you gain a Mastery rating for 10 seconds. This effect stacks.
• Rune of Versatile Warrior: When your core rune is active, you gain a Versatility rating for 10 seconds. This effect stacks.

Week 5: Ultimate Enhancement Rune (Choose 1)

The last row provides a powerful ultimate talent that will determine your character build.

• Rune of Overload: Increases the damage and healing of your core rune abilities by 100%.
• Rune of Residual Energy: Increases the damage and healing of your persistent rune effects by 100%.
• Rune of Echoes: Your core rune effects leave an echoing curse on the target; after 10 seconds, the echo of all damage and healing from your core and lingering runes will be released again.

Rewards

Upon completing all five Seeking Knowledge quests and unlocking Omnium Folio, you will receive a special reward, Sunstrider Omnium Simulacrum, a miniature replica of an ancient elven relic that can be used to decorate your player's home.

This concludes the detailed explanation of Omnium Folio in WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7. Unlike previous similar systems, it does not occupy a gear slot and appears as an independent element on the minimap, without affecting your carefully maintained Best in Slot (BiS). Let's look forward to its release!

In Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sean Boswell's drift through the streets of Tokyo remains one of the most memorable scenes for many fans, and countless players have wanted to step into Sean's shoes in Forza Horizon 6.

However, whether in real life or in Forza Horizon 6, drifting is a stunt that demands real skill. Beginners often crash into the roadside or spin out from overdoing it, so you might need to learn a few drifting techniques.

How to Choose a Drift Car?

Not every four-wheeled vehicle is suited for drifting. Nimble, agile models are easier to control and therefore better for learning. You need to consider the car's credits, level, engine placement, and drivetrain. If you are a newcomer, some characteristics should be prioritized, while others are best avoided for now.

Types to Avoid

• Front Engine, All-Wheel Drive
• Mid Engine, Rear-Wheel Drive

Recommended First Choice

• Front Engine, Rear-Wheel Drive

Once you have gained some experience, you no longer have to follow these guidelines. Instead, pick any car you like. Even if the base model isn't suitable for drifting, you can modify it to your liking using Forza Horizon 6 Credits.

Vehicle Upgrades

Upgrading is the most critical part of building any drift car, and it is also full of personal preference. You can choose specific components based on whether you want a competitive or a casual setup.

Engine

Drifting values smooth, linear torque output more than peak horsepower. This allows finer throttle control and a more stable slide. If horsepower far exceeds torque, the car becomes too sensitive and unsuitable for beginners.

Recommended engines:

• 6L 4-Rotor Racing
• 6L I6 Twin Turbo

You can gradually add upgrade parts to increase the engine's horsepower according to your liking.

Tires

The game provides dedicated Drift Tires, which are excellent for beginners to start with. Advanced players may opt for Drag Tires, but that belongs to another level entirely.

More horsepower usually requires wider tires to achieve adequate grip. If your car delivers up to 1000 horsepower, the rear wheels may need the widest setting. Wheel style and size do not affect performance, so just pick what you like.

Drivetrain

• Clutch: Race Clutch
• Transmission: Race Transmission
• Differential: Drift Differential

Chassis & Suspension

• Brakes: Race Brakes
• Springs and Dampers: Drift Suspension

Assist Settings

Once you are in the open world of FH6, open the settings menu and go to Difficulty options to fine-tune your driving controls.

• ABS: Turn on for beginners to prevent wheel lock.
• Steering: Use Standard mode.
• Traction Control: Must be turned off. You need to control wheelspin yourself.
• Stability Control: Must be turned off.
• Gears: Must use Manual.
• Driving Line: Set to "Braking Only" or fully on.

Drift Tuning

Upgrades determine the overall direction and basic capability of the car, while tuning adjusts the fine details to match your personal feel. You can start with another player's tuning setup and then slowly modify it yourself.

Tire Pressure

Higher pressure means a smaller contact patch and less grip; lower pressure gives a larger contact patch and more grip. A recommended setting is 28 PSI for the front tires and 26 PSI for the rear tires. Because the rear wheels spin violently during a drift, their temperature rises, causing the pressure to increase and grip to drop. Setting the rear pressure lower beforehand allows it to naturally reach equilibrium as it heats up (around 30–32 PSI), resulting in a more stable feel.

Gear Ratios

Gear ratios depend on your drifting speed, the track, and other factors. Beginners can look at the chart in the lower right corner, aiming for a top speed of 120–140 mph in 3rd gear.

Springs & Damping

The drift suspension already lowers the car significantly. If you frequently scrape the ground while driving, raise it slightly. For beginners, a softer suspension setup is recommended because it makes the car's behavior more predictable.

Alignment

Alignment controls the tire contact patch and angle, directly affecting steering response, straight-line stability, and the car's ability to hold a drift angle.

• Negative Camber: Causes the tires to tilt inwards.
• Positive Camber: Almost never used, as it drastically reduces outside grip in corners.
• Front Toe: Positive toe means the front of the tires point outward; negative toe means they point inward.
• Rear Toe: Positive toe means the rear of the tires point inward; negative toe means they point outward.
• Caster Angle: Affects the wheel's self-centering ability after a drift; you can set it to maximum.

How to Practice Drifting?

Weight Transfer on a Straight Track

Recommend using Dragstrip at Horizon Festival, as there is no traffic interference.

First, put the car into 3rd gear and leave it there. Start from the right side of the track and accelerate gently. If the wheels spin too much, ease off the throttle slightly.

Begin turning the steering wheel gently left and right to use the car's weight transfer. Thanks to your upgrades and tuning, the rear end will naturally start sliding from side to side.

Gradually increase the throttle during this process, and maintain the slide using throttle depth and steering angle. If you start to spin out, you are giving too much throttle or holding it for too long. If the car does not slide, add more throttle. Once you can control the car's left-to-right sway smoothly, introduce the handbrake.

Tackling a 90-Degree Corner

At the intersection north of Horizon Festival, there is a perfect 90-degree bend. Again, start in 3rd gear and approach the corner from a distance. Use the braking line as your drift initiation point.

After entering the corner, repeat the actions from the straight track - balancing throttle and counter-steering. Keep your eyes locked on the apex and make constant small adjustments. Your goal is to keep the nose pointing toward the apex as you glide through the turn. Past the apex, gradually straighten the steering and increase the throttle to exit the corner.

The principle for handling a 90-degree corner applies to every type of corner in the game. For sharper, shallower, or longer bends, you only need to adjust your entry speed, throttle depth, and handbrake timing accordingly.

Hopefully, the above guide will help you tune your car and successfully drift through the streets of Tokyo in Forza Horizon 6.

With only three days remaining until the end of May 2026, the collection period for the current Monopoly Ever After Album has officially entered its final countdown week!

However, Monopoly Go won't give you a chance to sit idle! Information regarding the next album, coming right on the heels of the current one, has already leaked: it will be a fun crossover event featuring The Simpsons!

Based on the information currently available, we are here to provide you with a detailed preview of this new album to help you get ready for its arrival!

The Simpsons Album release date

This album will go live immediately after Monopoly Ever After Album concludes on June 3rd. It will run until July 29th, spanning a total of 8 weeks, or 56 days.

Although it may appear to span only two calendar months, the actual duration is no shorter than that of a standard Monopoly Go album, so you can play with complete peace of mind.

Album details

The Simpsons Album, also referred to as Syrup Album, will introduce 189 brand-new stickers distributed across 21 distinct sets.

Each set contains 9 stickers; the star rating, or rarity, of these stickers increases progressively according to the set order: the later the set appears, the higher the rarity.

If you are a fan of The Simpsons, you should be able to guess what the sticker designs look like based on the following set titles:

• Set 1: The Simpsons
• Set 2: Monopoly's Training Day
• Set 3: Friends & Family
• Set 4: Property of Ned Flanders
• Set 5: Taste of Springfield
• Set 6: The Pin Pal's New Pal
• Set 7: Maggie's Big Adventure
• Set 8: Springfield Superheroes
• Set 9: When Homie Met Marge
• Set 10: Marge's Many Jobs
• Set 11: Old School Rivals
• Set 12: Springfield Elementary
• Set 13: Exotic Animals
• Set 14: Simpsons in Song
• Set 15: You Steam a Good Ham!
• Set 16: Beloved Memes
• Set 17: The Itchy & Scratchy Show
• Set 18: Moe's Tavern
• Set 19: Homer's Many Jobs
• Set 20: Upper Crust
• Set 21: Iconic Moments

Notably, starting from Sets 12, 14, and 16, 4-star, 5-star, and 6-star stickers, as well as potential gold cards, will begin to appear. Acquiring these requires you to invest significantly more effort into playing the game.

It is worth noting that Monopoly Go has previously collaborated with other IPs, such as Marvel and Harry Potter, but the sticker designs in those instances were predominantly rendered in Monopoly Go's own distinct art style.

This time, however, every sticker within The Simpsons album utilizes the original series' authentic art style. After all, its unique visual aesthetic is one of the key reasons why this animated sitcom has enjoyed such enduring popularity.

What are the rewards for completing this album?

One could argue that the ultimate goal of participating in any Monopoly Go event is to unlock the collection rewards for the currently available album, as the primary value of these events lies in providing new stickers.

The collection rewards for completing early The Simpsons sets, which feature stickers of generally lower rarity, typically consist only of dice rolls; however, completing later sets offers the opportunity to obtain new emojis or other cosmetic items.

It has currently been confirmed that completing the final set will earn you 1,500 dice and a new shield skin; completing the entire album will reward you with 15,000 dice and one The Simpsons-themed board token.

Given the randomness of sticker drops from packs, the most reliable way to unlock all collection rewards is to buy Monopoly Go stickers on IGGM immediately after Syrup Album launches!

We offer a comprehensive selection of stickers and ensure a safe, fast transaction process, allowing you to unlock the cards you want, anytime, anywhere, provided you have the budget!

How to prepare for the new album?

No matter which strategy you choose, you cannot obtain stickers related to The Simpsons album until it officially begins; however, you can start stockpiling sticker packs in advance.

If you have already completed your Monopoly Ever After album, you can save all the sticker packs you acquire from now on and open them only after the new album starts. This will allow you to make rapid progress early in the season.

It is also worth noting that a Sticker Boom event may launch sometime in early June; during this event, the number of stickers you receive from opening packs will be doubled!

Additionally, you likely have many duplicate stickers from Monopoly Ever After album; the stars generated from these duplicates can be redeemed for Vaults. Opening higher-tier Vaults can yield Blue, or even Purple, sticker packs!

Furthermore, if you completed your Monopoly Ever After album relatively recently, you should be receiving new dice as collection rewards over the next few days; you can save these dice to use once the new season kicks off.

Introduction to The Simpsons

This renowned American animated sitcom, which has been airing continuously since 1989, enjoys immense global popularity and influence. Centered on the Simpson family, the series depicts their daily lives in the fictional town of Springfield.

As a game with similarly massive influence, Monopoly Go typically partners with well-known franchises; moreover, the distinct style of The Simpsons is a perfect thematic fit for collectibles like stickers. This is sure to be an exciting collaboration!

In June, MLB teams will begin their trade period. Since player performances tend to stabilize in May, teams will refer to May data for their trades. These changes will also be reflected in MLB The Show 26.

Let's focus on the top 10 pitchers of May, examine their stats in MLB The Show 26, and predict how those stats might change.

Here are top 10 pitchers of May:

• No.1 80 OVR Jacob Misiorowski
• No.2 85 OVR Cristopher Sánchez
• No.3 81 OVR Cam Schlittler
• No.4 94 OVR Shohei Ohtani
• No.5 90 OVR Paul Skenes
• No.6 85 OVR Hunter Greene
• No.7 88 OVR Chris Sale
• No.8 78 OVR Aaron Ashby
• No.9 78 OVR Braxton Ashcraft
• No.10 72 OVR Kyle Harrison

No.1 80 OVR Jacob Misiorowski (SP, Brewers)

Jacob Misiorowski's Live Card in MLB The Show 26 is only 80 OVR, but his form in May was unprecedentedly hot. Throughout the month, he recorded 49 strikeouts while issuing just 6 walks. Thanks to his outstanding performance, he became the first pitcher in the 2026 season to reach 100 strikeouts.

In a game against Cardinals, he astonishingly threw 57 pitches exceeding 100 mph, setting a single-game record for the majors since tracking of this statistic began in 2008. Before his game against Cardinals on May 25, he had thrown 29.1 consecutive scoreless innings.

If he can maintain his hot form, his OVR might increase by 5 points, turning him into a Diamond Card. He is currently worth about 800 MLB The Show 26 stubs, and investing in him will almost certainly yield you stubs.

No.2 85 OVR Cristopher Sánchez (SP, Phillies)

Sánchez's most remarkable achievement this month came on May 27, when he set a new franchise record with 44.2 consecutive scoreless innings, breaking the record previously held by Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander, which had stood since 1911.

This astonishing record is just 14.1 innings shy of the all-time record of 59 innings set by Orel Hershiser in 1988. In MLB The Show 26, his H/9 Right is only 56, which is undoubtedly a weakness. However, given his performance since May, this flaw may be addressed in the next update.

No.3 81 OVR Cam Schlittler (SP, Yankees)

Throughout May, Schlittler allowed 1 run or fewer in 7 of his 8 starts, showing remarkable consistency. As of May 10, he became the first pitcher since Hall of Famer Walter Johnson in 1913 to record 50+ strikeouts, fewer than 10 walks, and no more than 1 home run allowed over his first 9 starts of the season.

Although his performance is not as flashy as Jacob Misiorowski's, maintaining such a high level of consistency fully demonstrates his quality as a top-tier pitcher. Moreover, the official developers have placed a 93 OVR Cam Schlittler card in Rivalry Weekend Recap Program, which is worth collecting.

No.4 94 OVR Shohei Ohtani (SP, Dodgers)

Shohei Ohtani's overall performance could rank in the top three. However, Dodgers avoided overloading him to prevent excessive strain, so he did not pitch excessively.

Even so, he displayed astonishing consistency, with an extremely low opponent batting average, and almost no one could hit a home run against him at home. His card in MLB The Show 26 is already among the best, so his overall rating may not be increased further, but his stats could still be boosted.

No.5 90 OVR Paul Skenes (SP, Pirates)

In May, Skenes posted a 3-1 record overall, with 45 strikeouts against only 4 walks, and 16 scoreless innings.

After a strong performance of 6 scoreless innings on May 17th, Skenes became the first pitcher this season to reach 200 strikeouts. However, he is not underrated in MLB 26, so he is not expected to be adjusted, similar to Shohei Ohtani.

No.6 85 OVR Hunter Greene (SP, Reds)

After a two-week absence due to injury, Hunter Greene returned to the pitching table on May 5th with a scoreless 6-inning performance. To ensure a healthy return, Greene participated in a series of minor league rehabilitation games, striking out 24 in 13 innings, maintaining his dominant fastball.

While still not quite on par with top pitchers like Paul Skenes, Hunter Greene's breakout performance in May may earn him a rating increase.

No.7 88 OVR Chris Sale (SP, Braves)

As a veteran and nine-time All-Star, Chris Sale performed very consistently, allowing only 3 earned runs over 4 consecutive starts while recording 33 strikeouts. In a game against Rockies on May 2, he threw 6 scoreless innings, giving up just 1 hit and striking out 9. Among veterans, this level of performance can be considered the very best.

No.8 78 OVR Aaron Ashby (RP, Brewers)

Aaron Ashby mostly pitched in relief during May, yet he ranked first in Wins Above Replacement. He is a highly underrated pitcher and will almost certainly receive a rating upgrade in MLB The Show 26.

No.9 78 OVR Braxton Ashcraft (SP, Pirates)

Braxton Ashcraft is a steady starting pitcher who consistently delivers quality starts. His form peaked in May, and he also possesses excellent control. He remained undefeated throughout May, with an overall outstanding performance.

No.10 72 OVR Kyle Harrison (SP, Brewers)

In May, Kyle Harrison posted a 4-0 record. He managed to keep winning games, control runs perfectly, and even set a franchise record. Although there is still a gap compared to top pitchers, there is no doubt that Kyle Harrison was in very good form throughout May.

All 10 pitchers performed quite well in May. Some of them may attract attention from other teams and be traded, and MLB The Show 26 might also release new cards for them. If you want to invest to earn Stubs, most players on this list are good options.

In ARC Raiders, Extended Barrel is practically an essential "hard currency" for every player looking to take their weapon performance to the next level.

In Pact 1.29.0, Extended Barrel was renamed Extended Barrel III, and two new models, Extended Barrel I and Extended Barrel II, were added. Extended Barrel III significantly increases bullet velocity and damage drop-off distance, making it incredibly powerful.

If you're still unsure about the specific performance of Extended Barrel III or how to obtain its blueprint, don't worry, I'll explain below:

Extended Barrel III

First, let's look at the specific enhancements to the most powerful Extended Barrel III.

Increased Bullet Velocity

One of the biggest highlights of the new Extended Barrel III is that its Bullet Velocity has been increased from 25% to 30%.

In PvP duels with other players or PvE shooting at moving targets, the biggest fear is slow bullet velocity - you aim perfectly, but the bullet lands behind the target. This is because bullets take time to travel, and enemies are moving.

So what does 5% speedup from Extended Barrel III mean in actual combat?

In PvE, you'll have faster hit detection; the time from bullet leaving the barrel to hitting the target is significantly reduced, almost "instantaneous." You'll have a higher margin for error; when shooting at moving targets, you don't need to consciously predict the distance as much as before - it's easier to hit the enemy once the crosshair is on target.

In PvP, weapons equipped with Extended Barrel III are also better suited for long-range engagements: in long-range gunfights, the advantage of bullet velocity is amplified - if your bullet arrives first, you win.

Damage Falloff Distance Increased

Some players might wonder, "Why don't I deal damage even though my shots from a distance hit my opponent?"

This is because ARC Raiders features a Damage Falloff mechanic - the farther a bullet travels, the lower its kinetic energy, resulting in reduced damage. This is a common feature in most shooting games.

Now that we understand this, let's look at new 15% Distance Until Damage Falloff bonus added to Extended Barrel III, a bonus not present in previous versions of Extended Barrel.

What does this mean? First, it extends your effective range, maintaining the damage of your bullets. Second, it increases the engagement distance with enemies. Previously, you had to risk getting close to fight; now you can safely stay behind cover and use your range advantage to whittle down enemies.

In fact, this change alone makes Extended Barrel III a highly sought-after item, as it's incredibly useful in actual combat.

How to Farm Blueprints?

But how do we get Extended Barrel III Blueprint?

There are two methods: First, if you're lucky enough, you can directly farm the blueprint using the method described below; second, you can directly buy ARC Raiders Extended Barrel III Blueprint from IGGM.com. We offer low prices and the fastest service, allowing you to quickly obtain the blueprint.

If you want to try your luck, I will introduce possible locations and some tips for obtaining blueprints.

Locations

These locations are summarized based on experiences shared by players in the community. After all, the drop of Extended Barrel III blueprint is completely random; there is no "fixed location" with a 100% spawn rate.

The first map with a relatively high drop rate is Buried City. Many players have reported farming blueprints in Space Travel Building in Buried City, especially in the drawers and cabinets on 5th and 6th floors of this building.

You need to pay extra attention to destructible doors in the game. The containers in the rooms behind these doors are more likely to contain high-value Blueprints.

Additionally, Santa Maria Houses and Grandioso Apartments on the same map are also likely to contain Blueprints, requiring careful searching.

The second potential drop location is Blue Gate. Blueprints are frequently hidden in Village in the northwest corner of this map; you can loot the entire village. Pay special attention to blue drawers - many players have reported finding Blueprints there.

Furthermore, the underground area of Reinforced Reception on the same map is worth exploring, as it contains numerous Security Lockers and Locked Rooms. However, be aware that this is also a PvP hotspot, so be cautious when entering.

Tips

Players who frequently farm Blueprints know that in ARC Raiders, entering a map under certain map conditions increases the drop rate of valuable items.

First up is Night Raid. Players see the period when this map state occurs as a "golden opportunity" to collect blueprints. According to feedback from the player community, Blueprint drop rate in Buried City during Night Raid is significantly higher than usual.

Secondly, there's Electromagnetic Storm, a high-difficulty map condition. Under this condition, more high-level Arcane enemies spawn on the map, and the drop rate of rare items across the entire map is increased, including Extended Barrel III Blueprint.

Finally, let's talk about Hurricane, a special condition in Buried City. When Hurricane occurs, buried treasures are revealed, and the loot you can find in Buried City is more abundant than in other locations. However, hurricanes reduce visibility and decrease the durability of your armor, so proceed with caution.

This concludes my introduction to Extended Barrel III in Arc Raiders and how to farm its Blueprint. I hope this is helpful.

Running from April through May, over a month, FC 26 TOTS selection campaign finally drew to a close last Friday.

Consequently, the opportunity to acquire the final batch of associated player cards will also end this week, coinciding with the launch of a new promotional event.

Almost every major EA FC 26 event or promotion typically goes live on a Friday afternoon, and the upcoming Prime Heroes event, set to debut this week, is no exception. This means that even though you've just emerged from the intensity of TOTS, you won't get a moment's respite!

Below, we'll provide you with further details regarding FC 26 Prime Heroes event, ensuring you have all the information you need to secure as many of these coveted cards as possible.

Prime Heroes duration

This promotional event is scheduled to go live this Friday, May 29th, and will run for one week, concluding the following Friday, June 5th. Following this, FC 26 is expected to launch its next major promotional series: Festival of Football campaign.

Notably, this subsequent series is designed to celebrate the quadrennial World Cup tournament.

Since the tournament itself spans roughly a month, Festival of Football campaign is expected to mirror TOTS, featuring weekly content updates throughout its month-long duration.

Why participate in Prime Heroes?

If you've been actively playing FC 26, you're likely already aware that the game features a roster of UT Origin Hero cards; Prime Heroes event is specifically designed as an upgrade path for these existing cards.

Currently, there are 248 known Origin Hero players in the game, representing 32 different nations. This roster includes 6 goalkeepers, 53 defenders, 106 midfielders, and 83 forwards.

Origin Hero cards already possess inherent advantages, such as enhanced Chemistry links, higher OVR, and are typically associated with specific leagues and clubs.

However, if you manage to unlock the corresponding Prime version of an Origin Hero, you will receive a significant stat boost over their base Origin version, gain access to additional PlayStyles, and see their card art upgraded to a dynamic animated design.

As you progress further into the game, the overall strength of your squad naturally increases. At this stage, acquiring cards with superior statistics, typically introduced through new promotional events like this one, becomes essential to ensure your continued enjoyment and success in the game.

More specifically, PlayStyles and PlayStyle+ attributes featured on Prime Hero cards tend to be highly meta, meaning they are particularly effective and dominant within the current competitive landscape of the game.

Furthermore, the chemistry bonuses provided by these cards often make it much easier to establish strong League and Nation links within your squad, ultimately helping you maximize the overall effectiveness and value of your team build.

Given that even more Festival of Football-related promos are set to launch over the coming month, seizing the opportunity this week to acquire Prime Heroes cards will be a huge asset in your quest to earn other players down the line!

FUT 26 Prime Heroes squad

While there are many Origin Heroes available, not every single one will receive a Prime Heroes upgrade. Only those with sufficient popularity, heroes who truly achieved impressive feats during their professional careers, stand a chance of making the cut.

As is customary within FC community, the final Prime Heroes squad was leaked prior to its official arrival on Friday. A total of 24 players are expected:

• Eden Hazard (96 OVR / LM)
• Yaya Touré (96 OVR / CDM)
• Jaap Stam (96 OVR / CB)
• Zé Roberto (95 OVR / LM)
• Blaise Matuidi (95 OVR / CDM)
• Daniele De Rossi (95 OVR / CDM)
• Celia Šašić (94 OVR / ST)
• Míchel Salgado (94 OVR / RB)
• Claudio Pizarro (94 OVR / ST)
• Maicon (94 OVR / RB)
• Jill Scott (94 OVR / CM)
• Tim Howard (94 OVR / GK)
• Laura Georges (93 OVR / CB)
• Cesc Fàbregas (93 OVR / CM)
• Micah Richards (92 OVR / RB)
• Louisa Necib (92 OVR / LM)
• Mario Mandžukić (92 OVR / ST)
• Jamie Carragher (92 OVR / CB)
• Roy Makaay (91 OVR / ST)
• Ulrich Hoeness (91 OVR / RM)
• Gilberto Silva (91 OVR / CDM)
• Esteban Cambiasso (91 OVR / CDM)
• Mohammed Noor (90 OVR / CAM)
• Oliver Bierhoff (90 OVR / ST)

How to obtain these players?

First and foremost, it is crucial to understand that you can only unlock the relevant Prime Heroes cards during the specific week that the promo is active.

Once that period concludes, regardless of which packs you open, you will only receive rewards associated with other currently ongoing events.

Throughout this week, FIFA 26 will be releasing new SBCs and objectives quite frequently. While some of these will reward you with packs upon completion, others will directly grant specific Prime Hero cards, the latter are absolutely not to be missed.

If you have previously unlocked any Origin Hero cards, they will serve as your greatest asset in completing these SBCs, as these challenges often impose specific requirements regarding team chemistry and player nationalities.

If the rewards alone aren't sufficient to help you unlock every Prime Hero, you can also buy FC 26 coins at IGGM and then use them to acquire additional packs via the in-game store.

Alternatively, if you have the time, you can keep a close watch on the transfer market; by monitoring market fluctuations, you can strike at the perfect moment to unlock the specific players you desire.

Which Prime Heroes are the best?

Since Prime Heroes cover a variety of positions and receive distinct attribute boosts, it is impossible to make a simple, definitive judgment as to which ones are objectively better.

However, if your goal is to strengthen your club's overall power by adding these cards, you should certainly prioritize filling the positions where your squad is currently weakest. Conversely, if you acquire a card you don't want, you can choose to sell it to earn a substantial amount of coins.

That covers the key information you need to know to participate in Prime Heroes promo. We wish you the best of luck throughout the coming week!

Players, just when you were overjoyed, thinking you could finally see GTA 6 Trailer 3, the development team poured cold water on your hopes. Yes, you'll be entering another long wait, and you won't hear about GTA 6's release until November of this year. What exactly happened?

Most players are looking forward to seeing GTA 6 Trailer 3 on May 26, 2026, but the development team has once again given everyone news of a delay.

Players neither received Trailer 3 nor saw any signs of the game being ready for release. The development team's social media only posted a routine tweet about Red Dead Online on Tuesday.

Misleading Social Media Trailers

Players' anticipation is also related to the development team's official accounts, whose pinned posts feature the previously released Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. The trailer's end clearly shows the date as May 26th, without specifying the year.

Many people believe that since the development team has been pinning the dated trailers to the top of their feed, they should release some new information on that date instead of just continuing the usual Tuesday tweets.

This vague timeline, coupled with the long-term pinning of the trailer, has largely artificially created today's surge of anticipation.

The Misalignment Between Xbox's Collective Tweets and Pre-order Timing

On the eve of the 26th, which players were eagerly anticipating, Xbox's official account and accounts in multiple regions posted the same tweet, all saying to add the game to your wishlist now.

This synchronized and concentrated timing is highly unusual, especially since the pre-order announcements for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 were both released between 11:30 AM and 11:50 AM (Eastern Standard Time) on Mondays.

Therefore, many players and analysts believe that although the development team didn't make any moves on May 26th, the next noteworthy time is likely to be sometime the following Monday, possibly in late June when summer truly begins.

Development Team's Public Statements

GTA 6 licensing company has repeatedly emphasized two key pieces of information in recent interviews.

First, they have consistently reiterated and confirmed that the November 19th release date will not change. Second, they have repeatedly mentioned the keyword summer, hinting that the actual promotional activities, including the third trailer, will not begin until summer officially arrives.

Therefore, we believe the most likely time to see a new trailer or pre-order announcement is the last week of June, coinciding with the official start of summer.

Confirmed GTA 6 News

Although a trailer wasn't released as fans hoped, there are still other noteworthy GTA 6 related news items.

First is the significant change regarding the role-playing servers. The copyright holder of GTA 6 has issued a cease and desist letter to RageM platform, requiring it to cease all operations and complete the migration of its community servers by August 31, 2026.

This move comes after the development team acquired FiveM, the largest RP server. Industry insiders generally believe that the development team plans to deeply integrate FiveM into the official ecosystem, allowing players to create and host their own servers within the official ecosystem, with both the official team and server creators benefiting from this.

Besides ecosystem integration, the closure of RageM may also involve copyright infringement issues. Reports indicate that RageM stole components from FiveM's open-source code; other third-party servers without intellectual property issues may not be affected.

AI Video Raises Questions about Game Realism

Another GTA 6 news item was triggered by an AI video. The AI ​​video showed the character Jason driving a Ford Raptor, running out of gas, and having to refuel using a spare gas can.

This video sparked a classic debate in the community about the realism of GTA 6: How realistic should a game be? Should GTA 6 include a fuel system, requiring players to refuel their vehicles regularly while playing?

Referring to Red Dead Redemption 2, which already features survival mechanics such as feeding horses, eating, drinking, and maintaining character health, there have been rumors that GTA 6 will introduce a body size system (e.g., gaining weight from eating, which slows movement) and a vehicle refueling system.

Supporters argue that running out of fuel would allow players to steal vehicles from the roadside, preventing excessive disruption to the game's pace. Opponents, however, believe that GTA series is inherently more arcade-style and fast-paced than Red Dead, and excessive realism might negatively affect entertainment value.

Whether the development team will add a fuel system in the future is likely to remain a topic of ongoing debate among players.

Player Mindset Adjustment

GTA 6 development team has a history of creating surprises; they have even publicly stated that they deliberately delayed the trailer's release to prove the leaker wrong.

This means that any player's expectations could be manipulated. When everyone expects a late June announcement, they might choose a completely different time.

Therefore, while the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 3 day on the 26th ultimately failed to materialize, this wasn't surprising.

Players should adjust their mindset, as the actual information may not be released until after summer officially arrives. Before that, all rumors about the release of Trailer 3 should only be taken as a reference.

If you want to prepare for GTA 6 now, you can visit IGGM GTA 6 store to learn about the resources needed in the game in advance, so that you can be more at ease when GTA 6 is officially released. Just be patient and look forward to the third trailer!

Blood Wave Necromancer has never fallen below Tier A in nearly every seasonal build ranking, and in Season 13, this build has returned to the top, becoming the strongest Necromancer build available.

The playstyle of Blood Wave Necromancer closely resembles that of a Sorcerer, as it can eliminate all bosses within seconds. Changes introduced by Lord of Hatred expansion allow you to forego cooldown management entirely, enabling you to cast Blood Wave continuously without waiting.

Core Mechanics

Hematolagnia enhancement for Blood Wave transforms it into a core skill, letting you cast it repeatedly by consuming Essence. However, you must first solve your resource generation issues.

How to Generate Essence?

Generating Essence relies mainly on two skills:

• Sever: Produces Corpses.
• Skeleton Mage: Summoned by consuming Corpses, and also provides Essence regeneration.

Gift of Death enhancement for Skeleton Mage boosts Essence regeneration, but you need to keep at least one Skeleton Mage active on the field. Therefore, you should also take Litany of Death enhancement for your Skeleton Warriors, which allows your skeletons to cast Priest skills that heal Skeleton Mages.

During normal combat, you should maintain at least one Skeleton Mage at all times. When you cast Blood Wave and consume Essence, Decrepify skill automatically triggers to curse enemies. Meanwhile, Blood Mist provides additional mobility.

How to Sustain Essence?

To maintain sufficient Essence, you need to stack Essence Regeneration on your Boots and Pants. In the early game, you can also put this stat on your Helmet and Chest Armor.

If you do not have Ring of Starless Skies, aim for about 25% Resource Cost Reduction on your rings. It is also ideal to roll "Lucky Hit: Chance to Restore Primary Resource" affix on both rings. Combined with the energy return from your Skeleton Mages, this will satisfy all your Essence needs.

You only need to set up your initial casts once; after that, you can begin your sustained damage output with almost no energy concerns. Once combat is underway, the only skill you will occasionally need to manually recast—besides Blood Wave—is Iron Maiden, for cursing enemies.

Blood Wave Necromancer Skills

Sever (Rank 1)

• Cost Reduction: Reduces Sever's Essence cost by 4.
• Crowd Control and Corpse Generation: Slows enemies and generates one Corpse.
• Inexorable Reaper: The character dashes forward while casting and follows up with an attack.

Skeleton Warrior (Rank 15)

• Litany of Death: After being summoned, casts Priest skills to heal other minions.
• Healing: Skeleton Warriors restore 2% of your maximum life on each attack.
• Vulnerable: Has a chance to make enemies Vulnerable.

Skeleton Mage (Rank 15)

• Critical Strike Chance: Provides +15% Critical Strike Chance while continuously healing your minions.
• Ferocity, Resolve, or Overpower: Skeleton Mage attacks can stack Ferocity, Resolve, or Overpower.
• Gift of Death: Skeleton Mage is treated as a Corpse skill, and each active Skeleton Mage increases Essence regeneration speed by 50%.

Blood Mist (Rank 1)

• Movement Speed: Increases movement speed.
• Blood Rush: Turns Blood Mist into a Mobility skill that can be cast by consuming Corpses.
• Vulnerable and Slow: Makes enemies Vulnerable and slows them.

Iron Maiden (Rank 1)

• Essence Generation: Generates additional Essence.
• Blood Maiden: Iron Maiden is also considered a Blood skill and can produce Blood Orbs.
• Ferocity and Overpower: Has a chance to stack one layer of Ferocity or Overpower.

Decrepify (Rank 14)

• Critical Strike Chance: Increases critical strike chance.
• Dizzying Curse: Dazes enemies.
• Resolve: Has a chance to stack Resolve.

Blood Wave (Rank 15)

• Damage Bonus: Increases Blood Wave damage while Fortified.
• Hematolagnia: Turns Blood Wave into a core skill; damage becomes 300% and it no longer knocks back enemies.
• Overpower: Increases Overpower stacks.

When your gear is not yet strong enough for frequent Blood Wave casts, you can start with Blood Surge, using Blood nodes and damage bonuses. After obtaining the key items, you can fully transition to Blood Wave build.

Blood Wave Necromancer Gear

Without Mythic Items

• Helm: Aspect of Coagulation
• Chest Armor: Juggernaut's Aspect
• Gloves: Aspect of Rathma's Chosen
• Pants: Kessime's Legacy
• Boots: Wildbolt Aspect
• Amulet: Aspect of Thickened Blood
• Ring 1: Duelist's Aspect
• Ring 2: Crushing Aspect
• Weapon: Tides of Blood Aspect
• Offhand: Aspect of Coalesced Blood

With Mythic Items

• Helm: Heir of Perdition
• Chest Armor: Tyrael's Might
• Gloves: Aspect of Rathma's Chosen
• Pants: Kessime's Legacy
• Boots: Penitent Greaves
• Amulet: Aspect of Thickened Blood
• Ring 1: Ring of Starless Skies
• Ring 2: Tidal Aspect
• Weapon: Tides of Blood Aspect
• Offhand: Aspect of Coalesced Blood

Mythic items are not required, but they will make this build significantly stronger. The core piece in this build is Kessime's Legacy Pants, which greatly enhance Blood Wave's damage. You can now select your own affixes for these pants; recommended choices are Essence generation, Intelligence, maximum life, and armor. Resistances are not very important.

You can combine Cir + Que runewords, which will generate a shield whenever you cast skills, further improving your survivability.

When pushing beyond Tier 120, consider swapping your offensive offhand for a Shield. A shield provides additional armor, damage reduction, life, and life regeneration.

Once you obtain Ring of Starless Skies and can fully sustain your energy, you can replace Skeleton Mage. Instead, take Master of Puppets node for more Skeleton Warriors, and use Bone Prison with Life Imprisonment enhancement to replace Skeleton Mage. This provides Essence generation, cast speed, and the ability to apply Vulnerable on demand.

Talisman Priority

• Charm 1: Linta of the Blood Binder
• Charm 2: Mlor of the Blood Binder
• Charm 3: Phoba of the Blood Binder
• Charm 4: Red Blessing
• Charm 5: Berú of the Blood Binder
• Charm 6: Fer of the Blood Binder

For all charms, look for Blood Skills affix, and choose charms that combine Critical Strike Chance with maximum life.

This Blood Wave Necromancer build is straightforward to play and offers top-tier clear speed and boss-killing capability in Season 13. It is exceptionally well-rounded, and any Necromancer player is sure to fall in love with this build.
