General News

WoW's best expansion will return in 2026, and players on WoW Classic 20th Anniversary can choose to transfer their characters to WoW TBC Classic Anniversary.

WoW TBC Anniversary features many changes compared to the original game, especially in terms of classes. If you want to smoothly join raids, it's best to choose a popular class.

Clothies Classes

Warlock

Warlocks received a huge buff in TBC, transforming from a primary curse-casting role into one of the best and most consistent DPS in the entire expansion.

Shadow path under Destruction specialization is the meta choice. Although Destruction tree gains the new fire spell Incinerate, Shadow path offers a clearer gear upgrade path and various buffs that increase Shadow damage.

Warlock boasts top-tier single-target and AoE damage in the game, but its gameplay is somewhat repetitive, primarily involving applying curses and casting Shadow Bolt, and its high damage also makes it prone to attracting boss aggro. However, Warlock is one of the few stackable DPS classes in TBC, meaning raids may need multiple Warlocks.

Affliction specialization offers Shadow Embrace debuff and the Imp's Stamina buff, useful against certain high-damage bosses in the early game, but its damage is significantly lower than Destruction Warlock, making it more of a support class.

Mage

Mage is no longer the only excellent spellcaster in TBC. In raids, it primarily comes in two specializations: Arcane and Fire, depending on the raid's needs.

Arcane specialization requires significant resource support to perform well. It relies on Shadow Priest's Vampiric Touch, Mana Tide Totem, and Arcane Brilliance from a party mage to regenerate mana. Therefore, a raid typically brings a maximum of two Arcane Mage.

With sufficient support, Arcane Mages can be top-tier DPS, especially during Tier 5 set era, but they weaken in Tier 6 and the later stages of Sunwell Plateau.

Fire specialization gradually strengthens with each expansion, only competing with Arcane Mages in the later stages of TBC, by which time the overall DPS of Mages has been surpassed by other classes.

Priest

Shadow Priests are one of the biggest winners of TBC. They provide the raid with Shadow Weaving (increases the target's shadow damage taken by 10%), Misery (increases the target's spell damage taken by 5%), and most importantly, Vampiric Touch. Therefore, a raid almost always needs one Shadow Priest, possibly two depending on the raid composition, but rarely more.

However, Shadow Priest has low damage output, and its gear scaling is poor because DoTs and channeling spells don't benefit from haste and crit.

Holy Priest gains the powerful group healing spell Circle of Healing. Although this spell has a high mana cost, it still has a place in the raid.

Discipline Priest's support capabilities are very strong, providing useful skills such as Improved Divine Spirit, Power Infusion, and Pain Suppression.

Leather Class

Druid

Feral Druid tank receives a significant boost. It's the tank with the highest single-target threat in TBC, generating massive threat with Mangle crits, and also possesses high health and armor, making it a highly sought-after main tank in TBC.

In terms of DPS, Feral Druid no longer needs Manual Crowd Pummeler and can provide Leader of the Pack buff. However, its damage isn't top-tier, and its function overlaps with Feral Tanks, so it's more often seen as a tank in a raid, unless it's a raid with many Melee.

provides a 5% spell critical strike chance through Moonkin Aura, Insect Swarm, and Improved Faerie Fire. However, its damage is low, and its scaling is average; it's a typical raid support, and usually a raid will only have one.

Restoration Druid is an excellent healer, capable of providing HoT effects to the team, usually working in conjunction with a tank.

Mail Classes

Hunter

Beast Mastery Hunter, with skills like Steady Shot and Kill Command, is a powerful single-target damage dealer throughout. Tier 4 set also provides significant armor penetration and Misdirection skill for controlling boss threat.

However, its skill damage is not affected by attack power, resulting in weak AoE capabilities, and its power drops significantly once the pet dies.

Survival Hunter's Expose Weakness talent provides a substantial attack power boost to the raid based on Hunter's agility. While its damage is lower than BM Hunter's, it significantly increases the raid's overall damage output.

Shaman

Enhancement Shaman provides powerful support skills such as Windfury Totem and Unleashed Rage (10%), and its damage is consistent. An Enhancement Shaman is almost mandatory for melee groups; a raid needs at least one, and possibly two depending on the number of melee.

Elemental Shaman's Totem of Wrath provides the party with 3% spell hit and critical strike chance. Its damage is good in the early stages of Tier 4, but the gear-based improvement is average.

Restoration Shaman's Chain Heal and Mana Tide Totem are crucial support spells.

Plate Classes

Paladin

Protection Paladin went from being almost nonexistent in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary to becoming the best AoE tank in TBC. It has Spiritual Attunement to alleviate mana consumption, a taunt skill, and a ranged Avenger's Shield to draw threat. It is comparable to Feral Druid. The tank composition is common and essential for all raids.

Retribution Paladins provide numerous buffs, and their damage is also effective in raids, though usually only one is needed. Holy Paladins are powerful single-target healers, primarily providing powerful healing and blessings; only one is needed in a raid.

Warriors

Dual-wielding Arms Warriors can acquire Blood Frenzy spell, which increases physical damage taken by 4%, so Arms Warriors are almost indispensable in 25-man raids.

Fury Warriors have higher overall damage than Arms Warriors, but require the best gear and items traded with WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold to fully realize their value, and can completely surpass Arms Warriors in the later stages of TBC.

Protection Warriors are inferior to Feral Druids and Protection Paladins in single-target damage and AoE threat generation. While they can still perform all tasks, they are not the optimal choice for minimizing raid size.

Most classes are effective in raids, but if you want to consistently participate in raids, it's best to join a guild.

Just yesterday, December 10th, EA FC 26 released the ultimate TOTW 13 lineup. How about it? Are there any players you like? How much overlap is there with your predicted lineup? If you're happy with the lineup, then start acquiring those player cards!

Unless you're a complete beginner, you should know the main ways to obtain player cards or packs in FC 26. The key is that the game releases new events almost every day, and a slight oversight can lead to missing out on a chance to earn rewards.

Based on this, we will introduce Joga Bonito Challenge 3 event, which was released at the same time as TOTW 13. It only lasts for three days, but the reward is a Prime Gold Players Pack!

Joga Bonito In FC 26

First, you need to know that Joga Bonito is a recent promotional event held by FIFA 26 for Ultimate Team, themed around street football, emphasizing style and creativity.

The event introduced Joga Bonito players and accompanying 5-star skill moves, special hero versions of some players' cards, and a series of playable SBCs, objectives, and evolutions.

Joga Bonito Challenge 3 is one of all Joga Bonito SBCs; the previous Challenge 1 and 2 were held on December 5th and 7th, respectively.

How To Complete Joga Bonito Challenge 3?

SBC events don't require you to participate in matches and win; you only need to assemble a team according to the requirements. However, if you don't have enough players, these requirements can be difficult to meet!

Here are all the requirements for Joga Bonito Challenge 3:

• Number of players on the team: 11
• Maximum number of players from the same league: 4
• Maximum number of players from the same club: 3
• Minimum number of Gold players: 9
• Minimum number of Rare or TOTW players: 3
• Minimum player rating: Silver
• Minimum team chemistry: 31

The minimum player rating being Silver means that all players on the team must be of Silver or Gold rarity. Therefore, this SBC is quite difficult, requiring at least 4000 to 9000 coins, and it ends on December 13th, so time is of the essence!

Why Should You Participate In This SBC?

Although this event only rewards you with a non-tradable card pack, its rarity is relatively high, giving you a chance to pull better cards or players from TOTW 13. This will help expand your club and complete more SBCs.

For example, alongside the start of Joga Bonito Challenge 3, FUT 26 also launched other SBCs, including Primera División Crown League and 86+ Campaign Mix Upgrade.

Both of these SBCs last longer than Joga Bonito Challenge 3 (7 days), so you have plenty of time to use the rewards from the latter to complete them.

Primera División Crown League

This SBC is divided into two parts, rewarding you with different player cards after you meet their respective requirements. The specific challenges and rewards are as follows:

Part 1:

• Minimum Team of the Week players: 1
• Minimum Team Rating: 81
• Reward: Joga Bonito Hernán López

Part 2:

• Minimum Team of the Week players: 1
• Minimum Team Rating: 85
• Reward: Joga Bonito Exequiel Zeballos

86+ Campaign Mix Upgrade

This challenge is also divided into two parts, rewarding you with different game card packs. The specific details are as follows:

Part 1:

• Minimum Team Rating: 83
• Reward: Small Electrum Players Pack

Part 2:

• Minimum Team Rating: 85
• Minimum Team of the Week players: 1
• Reward: Jumbo Premium Gold Pack

After completing both parts, you will also receive an additional 86+ Campaign Mix Upgrade Pack. The player cards from this pack are expected to come from the following series:

• Ratings Reload
• Ultimate Scream
• UEFA Primetime
• Festival of Football: Captains
• FC Pro Live

Although the rewards from Joga Bonito Challenge 3 aren't extensive, they can definitely help you complete these two SBCs and unlock more cards. So don't miss this opportunity!

How To Improve Your Player Cards?

Even if some players who help you to complete SBCs are mediocre or don't fit your team, you shouldn't give up on them. Instead, you can try to strengthen them in subsequent evolution events.

For example, Keep Composed, which was launched at the same time as Joga Bonito Challenge 3, is a good opportunity.

This evolution, which runs for 3 weeks starting December 10th, can help improve your players' dribbling and composure. The specific attribute increases are as follows:

• Overall: +1 OVR
• Attributes: +12 Agility, +12 Balance, +12 Dribbling, +15 Reactions
• PlayStyle+: Press Proven+ PlayStyle+

Of course, participation requires sufficient points or coins, and your evolving player must meet the following requirements:

• Maximum OVR: 85
• Position: Cannot be a goalkeeper
• Maximum number of PlayStyles: 10
• Maximum number of PlayStyle+: 1 (none is also acceptable)

If the player you obtained from Joga Bonito Challenge 3 reward pack meets the criteria, you can give it a try. If not, don't worry, FC 26 will host new evolutions later.

That's all the information for this update. We hope you successfully complete this challenge within the given time!

In the final month of 2025, Monopoly Go welcomed a new crossover event with Harry Potter, along with themed albums, stickers, decorations, and in-game events.

Just as the new album, Harry Potter GO, launched on December 10th, the new racers event, Quidditch Racers, kicked off as the first major event of Harry Potter GO season!

This event not only helps you collect Monopoly Go stickers to fill the new album through sticker pack rewards quickly, but also awards golden Quidditch-shaped board tokens to the first-place finishers in different modes!

Path of Exile 2's class and skill combinations are incredibly complex, resulting in numerous playstyles. Unfortunately, summoner builds have consistently lacked a place among the top-tier builds.

While it's unclear whether the new Druid class can change this, each league has a dedicated group of players researching minion builds. Below, we'll examine the performance of minion builds in Patch 0.3.0 and the adjustments in Patch 0.4.0 to see which ones will perform best in Fate of the Vaal league.

Tier S

Spectre Builds

Since skills in Path of Exile 2 aren't tied to classes, you can choose either Spectre Infernalist build or Spectre Shaman build.

Of all summoning skills, Spectre performed best in Patch 0.3.0, allowing you to enslave Spectres to fight for you. The strongest Spectre was Frozen Mandibles. Unfortunately, it was removed in Patch 0.4. As compensation, the developers stated they will buff some summon variants.

Therefore, as long as Spectre builds aren't significantly nerfed, you can use Powered Zealot Spectre to clear monsters and single enemies, or Death Knight Spectres to deal with single enemies.

Ascendancy Recommends

If you're only focusing on the early game, Spectre Shaman has a greater advantage because its Sacred Flow talent can provide a large amount of Spirit by sacrificing charm slots. Thanks to the changes in Act 2 quest Valley of Titans, Shaman can obtain a belt that grants +2 charm slots at lower levels, allowing for a large amount of Spirit early on.

Later in the game, you can respec to Oracle, as Oracle talent tree contains many summon-related nodes, providing strong late-game defense or damage.

Alternatively, you can choose the classic Infernalist build from patch 0.3.0, or Ritualist and Lich using Evergrasping Ring. Shaman and Infernalist may perform similarly with a moderate PoE 2 currency investment, but Lich and Oracle are likely the strongest with top-tier gear.

Tame Beast Builds

This build requires you to control Tamed Beast by switching weapons and using Infernal Legion auxiliary gem to deal area-of-effect fire damage.

Patch 0.4.0 did not significantly nerf its damage, and while the reduction in high-density maps may diminish its value for clearing, Tamed Beast builds remain consistently strong in single-target damage and overall performance, its strength proportional to your PoE 2 currency investment.

Ascendancy Recommends

The energy shield nerf in patch 0.4.0 may make Titan Tamed Beast better, but you can also choose to start as Shaman and transition to Oracle later, again due to the summon life and defense nodes included in the talents, and the higher your summons‘ HP, the higher their damage.

Tier A

Skeleton Archer Ritualist Build

This build requires Ritualist to equip Evergrasping Rings, granting summons additional Chaos that also affects enemies within range. It typically requires Chaos Inoculation to mitigate the additional Chaos damage taken.

This build performs exceptionally well with high investment, but it's not a comfortable early-game choice. Upgrading with summons is not recommended without transitional gear; other skills are usually needed for early game progression, followed by a gear swap to reach full potential later.

In Patch 0.4.0, any summoner build relying heavily on Spirits was affected by reduced reservation efficiency and weakened Relics. However, this build, primarily reliant on the ring's damage boost, was relatively less affected.

Tier B

Skeletal Reaver Builds

Skeletal Reavers gain attack speed and damage by stacking rage. Patch 0.4.0 fixed this skill's description; now, its attack speed bonus only applies when they are enrage-enhanced.

The challenge was ensuring Skeletal Reavers survived after enrage was active. Tecrod's Revenge support gem enhancement solved this problem. It allows summons to survive longer after their health reaches 0, increasing this time from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. Dialla's Desire support gem can improve skill quality, further increasing rage effects, which might potentially lead to higher damage.

Ascendancy Recommends

This skill gem can be used by Titans, Ritualists, Shamans, and Liches, but its effectiveness depends on which class allows Skeletal Reavers to stack rage more efficiently.

Unearth Raise Zombie Builds

This build primarily relies on summoned enhanced zombies that consume Power Charge. Its damage bonus has changed from a fixed 100% to a dynamic value that scales with skill level, meaning high-level zombies have significant damage potential.

You can use Unearth to quickly generate summons for clearing maps. When single-target damage is needed, summon 10-12 enhanced zombies for burst damage. This build is completely unaffected by the reduction in reservation efficiency, but it heavily relies on Power Charge.

The best method is to use new Lineage support gems, which generate one Power Charge every 4 seconds. Additionally, Profane Ritual can consume corpses to generate critical strike orbs.

Sacrifice aura can treat permanently resurrectable summons as corpses, consume them with Profane Ritual, and then resurrect them with Skeletal Cleric, allowing you to continuously generate Power Charge.

Ascendancy Recommends

For this build, Ritualist is the best ascendancy choice because it doesn't rely on a lot of spirit and benefits from Evergrasping Rings and Uul-Netol's Embrace. The problem with this build is that it's relatively cumbersome to operate, and the summoned creatures are temporary and cannot exist indefinitely. Furthermore, using Raise Zombie is very mana-intensive, so you need to be mindful of your resource consumption.

The above minion builds are just basic concepts. You can research how to increase minion damage in new leagues, and perhaps you can even create a stronger build.

The first ARC Raiders expedition window has been confirmed to start on December 17th and end on December 22nd. You need to submit items and coins to participate, with a minimum level requirement of 20.

Although the player community is not entirely satisfied with the rewards and gameplay of this expedition, fortunately, ARC Raiders doesn't force you to participate.

Of course, if you don't mind, using this opportunity to reset and maintain the game's cycle is also a good option.

In fact, we have already introduced a lot of information about completing the expedition in other articles, and this time we will provide detailed instructions on collecting the materials needed for submission.

What Is Expedition Preparation?

The period from December 17th to 22nd represents the final departure phase. Before that, there is an approximately 7-week preparation phase. All of these combined constitute a complete expedition.

The preparation work can be roughly divided into 6 stages. The first five stages require you to collect different items or a sufficient amount of currency. To do this, you must participate in enough battles over the 7 weeks, or craft some items in the workshop.

Part 1. Building Materials

This part of the expedition materials mainly consists of building components or materials, which can be found in most industrial areas on various maps.

However, some materials can be obtained directly by looting containers, while some rarer materials, such as Steel Springs, may require you to defeat specific ARC enemies. Here are all the materials required for Part 1:

• 150x Metal Parts
• 200x Rubber Parts
• 80x ARC Alloy
• 15x Steel Springs

Part 2. Metal Component Materials

This part of the materials includes:

• 35x Durable Cloth
• 30x Wires
• 30x Electrical Components
• 5x Cooling Fan

The rarest item here is Cooling Fan, mainly found in areas that were previously technology-related buildings. Although Durable Cloth is not very rare, it's not easy to farm, even in relevant medical or commercial areas.

In contrast, farming Electrical Components and Wires is much simpler; you just need to carefully search within buildings with electronic equipment.

It's important to note that there's always a risk of encountering other players trying to steal your loot in any building. Therefore, before collecting resources, you should also consider improving your character and existing gear through safe ARC Raiders services.

If you find collecting some materials too time-consuming, you can also obtain them directly from merchants or craft them in the workshop. However, crafting requires blueprints, which themselves require farming.

And on the one hand, not all items have corresponding blueprints, and on the other hand, low-rarity items don't really have crafting value. So ultimately, it depends on your combat power and resource inventory.

Part 3. Daily Items And Special Modules

This batch of materials is special; most are easily obtainable everyday items, but there's one rare component that will prove challenging. These are:

• 5x Light Bulbs
• 30x Batteries
• 20x Sensors
• 1x Exodus Module

The first three resources can be found by scavenging in abandoned vehicles and electrical or technological areas, but Exodus Module can only be obtained in Exodus zones.

In ARC Raiders, Exodus refers to the lost era of space travel, and more specifically, these zones include Acerra Spaceport, Rocket Launch Sites/Launch Towers, and Post-Calamity Housing/Avionics.

The tricky part is that these zones are often surrounded by many more dangerous ARC enemies, so you still need to be prepared to face them to complete this part of the material collection.

Part 4. Advanced Components

The expedition materials in this section can be found by entering the relevant areas, but it requires sufficient time, and some may be hidden in locked containers, requiring you to collect keys separately. These include:

• 5x Humidifiers
• 5x Advanced Electrical Components
• 3x Magnetic Accelerators
• 3x Jumper Impulse Units

The most difficult to find are Magnetic Accelerators, which only appear in Exodus zones or can be obtained by salvaging Queen Reactors. Additionally, Jumper Impulse Units only drop after killing ARC Jumper enemies.

Part 5. Collecting Items With Specific Total Coin Value

This collection task tests not your ability to collect specific items, but how to plan effectively to obtain different types of resources with varying total coin values:

• Combat Items - 250,000 coins
• Survival Items - 100,000 coins
• Provisions - 180,000 coins
• Materials - 300,000 coins

It's important to remember not to misinterpret the requirements: you need to collect items that meet the required coin value, not earn coins! If you mistakenly sell all your acquired resources for coins, you'll be the biggest sucker around.

If you have time and don't want to take risks, you can collect items by looting in safer areas. However, if you want to complete the collection quickly, you can prioritize challenging rare ARC enemies and dangerous missions.

How To Check Your Stash Value?

Among all the reset rewards from the expedition, the number of skill points depends on your stash value - the maximum is 5 points, corresponding to a stash value of 5 million.

We've already introduced the main methods for quickly farming this many coins in other articles, and this time we're bringing you another little tip: how to check your stash value.

If you're playing on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, you can open your inventory by holding down LT/L2 button after entering the game, then press A/X button to select all items and view them.

If you're playing on a PC, you can not only follow the above method to perform similar operations on your PC, but you can also do so by changing the date on your computer.

The day after the first expedition departure window opens is December 18th. If you change your computer's time to this date in advance, you can immediately view the value of your inventory items in the game. While it's unclear if this is a bug, it does work.

That's all for this time. If you plan to participate in the expedition but haven't finished collecting resources, you need to speed up, because there's less than a week left before departure! Don't let your previous efforts go to waste!

Diablo 4 Season 11 is about to launch. Due to the increased overall difficulty of the new season, player survival has become more challenging, leading many players to search for guides and strategies, from methods for defeating World Bosses to optimal build recommendations for different classes.

As the launch date approaches, we've also been looking for suitable class builds for a smooth run. However, after reviewing numerous build guides, we've found that almost all strategies revolve around high damage and high output. This approach is indeed feasible; players can quickly defeat bosses on the map through overwhelming strength and then obtain the desired items and rewards.

Among these recommended items, we've noticed one item that's rarely mentioned: Temerity, this item has often been overlooked by players in previous seasons. But I believe that in Season 11, Diablo 4 Temerity can rise to prominence; everyone has underestimated its value.

Why Is It Underestimated?

Season of Divine Intervention has undergone many changes compared to its predecessors, from monster mechanics and difficulty to the item upgrade system. This means all players should proceed with greater caution.

Previously, we tended to charge into battle without much consideration for defense, especially in the endgame. This led to a continued bias towards attack power while neglecting defense in the new season.

However, based on our experience on PTR server, we believe this high-damage, low-defense playstyle needs to be changed. Survival has become more challenging; even with a defensive character build, players are still vulnerable.

After numerous trials, we discovered that Temerity is an excellent defensive item. It provides a significant defense boost without incurring excessive costs.

How To Obtain Temerity?

Temerity is a unique patch in Diablo 4, usable by any class. You can obtain it by summoning and killing the following monsters:

• Varshan
• Lord Zir
• Grigoire
• Echo of Duriel
• The Beast in the Ice
• Urivar

Alternatively, you can obtain it from chests dropped in Helltide Events.

Why Choose Temerity?

This item is incredibly powerful defensively, making it ideal for builds or classes that don't rely heavily on barriers. In other words, when your healing exceeds your maximum health, the excess is converted into a damage-absorbing barrier, essentially an extra layer of protection.

Even if you rely on barrier protection, its effect is still optimal, granting you an 8-second barrier, which is far superior to other equipment.

Especially with the recent upgrades to the healing system, healing effects have been enhanced. Healing effects are now essentially an attribute that can be applied to equipment, allowing you to use Temerity to convert all excess healing into a significant amount of barrier damage.

If you acquire this equipment early in the game and need a defensive boost, don't hesitate, equipping Diablo 4 Temerity is your best choice; its effects will surprise you.

This equipment was previously overlooked because the game's difficulty wasn't high enough, so its impact wasn't significant. However, with the increased difficulty of Season of Divine Intervention, I believe it will definitely stand out in the new season.

Many class builds in Season 11 are suitable for Temerity, especially Spiritborn, as it's one of the most vulnerable classes, particularly Legendary Nodes like Viscous Shield. In such cases, equipping Temerity provides an extra barrier protection.

How To Improve Temerity's Defensive Capabilities?

With the new season's updated defense mechanics and item upgrade system, we can optimize and enhance Temerity by adding appropriate affixes through Tempering and Masterworking. We can even use the newly added Sanctification system to give equipment a final boost, thereby maximizing Temerity's defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, with the reworked Fortify system in the new season update, stacking Fortify increases a player's Maximum Life, providing an additional benefit to Temerity's barrier protection.

Alternative Solutions

While Temerity isn't restricted to any class, some builds inevitably can't incorporate it into their gear because they require specific pants or unique skill attributes. For example, Rogues have Second Wind skill, and Necromancers have their own unique pants - Blood Moon Breeches.

In such cases, alternative methods are needed to obtain sufficient defensive capabilities. Runes do offer decent defensive benefits. In Diablo 4, runes' offensive output isn't particularly outstanding, often requiring a full set of runes to achieve the desired damage output.

However, some runes can provide unexpected defensive effects, such as Mot Rune, which grants a shadow from Rogue's Dark Shroud skill, providing up to 40% damage reduction.

In addition to these, there are some runes with slightly weaker defense, such as Xal, which increases your maximum health by 20%. Especially when your health is overflowing, it grants a huge amount of health over 4 seconds, but it requires Ritual Rune.

Other runes with defensive effects include:

• Que
• Wat
• Feo

While Season 11 may be more difficult than before, especially based on PTR server experience where some monsters seem to deal excessive damage, the developers have stated they will adjust the game balance in the live servers. Furthermore, due to adjustments to class skill mechanics, our characters are now stronger.

Therefore, we can invest more resources in defense, without having to spend as much time and effort on increasing damage output as before, while our map clearing and monster killing speed will not be affected. This is why I recommend using Temerity in Season of Divine Intervention.

I hope this information will be helpful as the new Diablo 4 season arrives. Have fun in the game!

Diablo 4 Season 11 is significantly more difficult than previous seasons, with monsters dealing more damage, which may impact character leveling.

Also, you might not want to take too much time on the campaign, so here are some of the most reliable leveling builds for every class this season.

Evade Spiritborn Build

This build revolves entirely around Accelerated Thunderspike, and each time you evade, Spiritborn automatically fires a large number of feathers, dealing area damage.

You don't need to aim at enemies, and simply dive into the monster horde and use the high-frequency evades to automatically clear them. The evasion also allows you to move quickly across the map while attacking, making it extremely efficient.

Defensively, Evade provides invincibility frames, allowing you to avoid damage while dealing damage, making it very safe. This build primarily relies on evasion cooldowns, requires minimal resource management, and is very easy to play.

You only need to adapt to this dodge-centric playstyle, which may feel different from other class-specific builds. Its transition to endgame is also very smooth, as you can continue to develop this build, using it as the core for endgame content, or seamlessly transition to other top-tier endgame builds like Quill Volley Spiritborn using resources accumulated during leveling.

Firewall Sorcerer Build

This leveling build primarily uses Firewall and Hydra as its core damage skills. Firewall's continuous damage and Hydra's multi-headed attack can quickly melt enemies.

After casting Firewall and summoning Hydra, you can move freely or cast other skills, allowing DoT effects to automatically deal with monsters, making it particularly suitable for dealing with groups of monsters and elite enemies. This indirect damage method provides a stable output environment even when your gear is poor in the early game.

The transition of Firewall Sorcerer build to endgame is also clear. Because it focuses on fire damage, it can be transitioned to Hydra build, and you only need to slightly adjust your Diablo 4 items. Alternatively, you could transition to Crackling Energy Sorcerer endgame build, which utilizes the new season mechanics and enhancements, and might be the strongest Sorcerer build this season.

Dance Of Knives Rogue Build

While Rogue's strength in endgame is relatively average, its high movement speed makes it one of the fastest-leveling classes. Dance of Knives Rogue is its most classic leveling build, used by Rogue players almost every season.

Dance of Knives is a continuous spinning attack, utilizing high-frequency AoE attacks, making Rogue very efficient at clearing mobs and very fun to play. Rogue's high mobility allows for repositioning during the spin to dodge monster attacks. Dance of Knives has good base damage and effects and doesn't rely on items, so it's quick to build in the early game.

The ideal goal for this build in endgame is to transition into Death Trap Rogue build. This is a classic build with high burst AoE damage, allowing for a smooth transition from Dance of Knives build.

Minion Build Necromancer Build

One of the defining features of Necromancer build is its summons, which serve as both primary damage dealers and defenders. Necromancer gains Skeleton Mages from level one, making for a smooth start.

Furthermore, with summons fighting at the front, Necromancer can safely command and cast support skills from the rear, reducing survivability pressure. Skeleton Mages' ranged attacks are effective in handling various situations. However, due to the class's characteristics, movement speed is slow, but its advantages are simplicity and safety.

Minion Build Necromancer can be perfectly transformed into one of the newest and strongest builds of the season - Golem Necromancer - at endgame. This build is built around the new and unique item Gravebloom, boasting an extremely high damage cap and capable of challenging levels 110 and above in The Pit, making it one of the most fun builds in Season 11.

HOTA Lunging Strike Barbarian Build

This is a hybrid build that utilizes Fury displacement and small-area attacks provided by Lunging Strike to handle single enemies, and Hammer of the Ancients for high-damage area-of-effect burst damage to clear dense groups of monsters.

The official release in Season 11 significantly buffed Barbarian's core skills, Paragon Legendary nodes, and primary stat scaling. This means that from level 1 to the endgame, Barbarian's base damage and scaling are better. You can flexibly focus on one of the two skill builds depending on the gear and effects you acquire.

At endgame, you can transition to either the pure HOTA build or the pure Lunging Strike build, depending on your gear and preferences.

Companion Druid Build

With the removal of Season 10 Chaos Perks, Druid's strength has returned to normal. However, the relative weakness of basic skills and early legendary effects has slowed down early-game monster clearing efficiency and pace.

You can choose Companion Druid build, playing like a Necromancer in the early game. However, this build isn't viable from the start, and you'll need more meticulous planning of your skill path and gear choices, and the experience might not be as smooth as other classes.

While leveling is weaker, Druids can still rise to prominence in the mid-to-late game after acquiring key legendary and unique items. You can switch to Pulverize Druid in the endgame.

Finally, when choosing your class and build, besides The Pit level, you should consider your personal preferences. Because if you're very familiar with the leveling process, the difference in leveling time between the fastest and slowest builds might only be 10-20 minutes. The important thing is whether you can obtain the necessary items during this process.

The highly anticipated Monopoly Go Harry Potter GO Album has finally begun! During this season, we can not only collect unique magical stickers featuring elements of Hogwarts Castle, but also participate in themed mini-games, competing fiercely against opposing teams and houses for generous stickers, dice, cash, and exclusive tokens.

Fortunately, the developers didn't keep us waiting long, as the brand-new themed racer event, Quidditch Racers, has officially launched alongside the Harry Potter GO album.

Below, we'll reveal everything you need to know about this racing event, including the schedule, strategies, and ultimate rewards. If you want to get a head start in the new season and earn new cosmetic rewards, then you absolutely cannot miss this guide! Let's take a look!

Quidditch Racers Schedule

The Quidditch Racers event runs from December 10, 2025, at 1:20 PM to December 14, 2025, at 3:55 PM EST, lasting only 4 days. You need to quickly form or join a team of four and compete on the Monopoly Go board, aiming to collect the most flags and achieve the highest team score.

How Does It Work?

This event is Harry Potter-themed, and players will race on the game board, collecting rewards related to Hogwarts Houses.

Collecting Flag Tokens

As usual, Monopoly Go Quidditch Racers starts with a 24-hour team formation period. During this time, players need to collect flag tokens, the main consumable for driving the racers during the event.

Choosing Single-Player Or Team Mode

It's worth noting that the racers event is quite friendly to solo players. While the experience of working together with friends to achieve goals is great, it's often difficult to find like-minded friends. You're more likely to encounter teammates who are inactive or not serious enough about winning. Imagine working hard for your team's victory, only to find your teammates aren't even online, yet they still share the rewards with you. This discourages many players from continuing to play.

Single-player mode gives you complete control over your game destiny, without relying on in-game friends. You don't need to coordinate with teammates or be affected by their progress; every effort you make will be rewarded.

Similarly, if you choose team mode, you will need to team up with three other players. You can obtain flags by landing on special squares on Monopoly Go board, completing tournament and main event milestones, or claiming free-gifts in the game store. The more flags you collect, the greater advantage you'll have in the race.

Completing Laps

Once the team formation phase is over, the system will match you with three other teams, and the race will begin.

The Quidditch Racers event runs for four days. Each day, your team needs to make the most of your flag tokens to keep moving forward. The player who rolls the dice determines the distance the race car travels, and rolling the same number twice may double your score.

It's worth noting that you can also receive extra rewards after completing a certain number of laps. There are three reward options available each time, and each person in the team can choose their desired reward when selecting lap rewards. Rewards include cash, dice, or racing boosters, and using these rewards wisely is key to winning the race. These rewards start small but gradually increase as the race progresses.

After completing the laps, you will receive rewards such as stickers, dice, cash, and tokens based on your ranking. The team with the highest total score across the three races will win the grand prize.

How To Get More Medals?

To stand on the top of the podium in Quidditch Racers, you need to aim for first place in at least two races, as first place awards the most medals, which is the decisive factor in whether you win the eventual victory.

So, why only aim for victory in two races? Ideally, we'd want to win every race, but our available tokens don't allow for that. Therefore, instead of trying to win first place in every race, it's better to rationally allocate your token resources to maximize the medals you can obtain.

Yes, we're talking about the third race, which allows you to earn twice the number of medals as the first two races, making it a great opportunity for a comeback. The number of medals awarded for each match is as follows:

First Match

• 1st: 10 medals
• 2nd: 8 medals
• 3rd: 6 medals
• 4th: 4 medals

Second Match

• 1st: 10 medals
• 2nd: 8 medals
• 3rd: 6 medals
• 4th: 4 medals

Third Match

• 1st: 20 medals
• 2nd: 16 medals
• 3rd: 12 medals
• 4th: 8 medals

Rewards

The rewards for the Monopoly Go Quidditch Racers event vary depending on whether you choose solo or team mode and your final ranking, as follows:

For solo players:

• 1st place: Board Token, Blue Sticker Pack, and Pink Sticker Pack
• 2nd place: Pink Sticker Pack, Yellow Sticker Pack
• 3rd place: Pink Sticker Pack
• 4th place: Yellow Sticker Pack

For team players:

• 1st place: Board Token, Blue Sticker Pack, and Purple Sticker Pack
• 2nd place: Pink Sticker Pack, Blue Sticker Pack
• 3rd place: Pink Sticker Pack, Yellow Sticker Pack
• 4th place: Yellow Sticker Pack, Green Yellow Sticker Pack

That's all the information for this Quidditch Racers event. You will receive rewards regardless of whether you win or not, it's just a matter of how much, so don't be discouraged even if you encounter stronger opponents; just do your best.

Of course, we understand that every player wants to chase higher rankings and rewards. If you also want to complete all the laps as quickly as possible and secure the top spot on the podium, then Monopoly Go Quidditch Racers Event Rank #1 Full Carry service for sale on IGGM is definitely your best choice! You can enjoy the game without any pressure and win all the rewards.

With the development of internet technology and the gaming industry, more and more games rooted in different cultures and art styles have gained global reach, allowing more players to participate.

Based on this, some games are more popular among specific age groups due to various characteristics. For example, Grow A Garden's player base is largely composed of teenagers, with an average age generally under twenty.

As teenagers still constitute a significant portion of the global population and are the main users of the internet, the popularity of Grow A Garden is not entirely unexpected.

Next, we will analyze the deeper reasons for Grow A Garden's popularity among children and how to create a safer "garden" experience for them, based on its current popularity.

Grow A Garden Gameplay Introduction

As a casual planting and management game, the main gameplay of Grow A Garden involves obtaining seeds and planting them. After they mature, you can sell them for the currency Sheckles, which can then be used to trade for more seeds.

During this process, you can participate in game events to obtain limited-edition items, or buy Grow A Garden pets to decorate your garden and provide bonuses to crop growth. There are also weather and mutation mechanisms that affect plants and pets.

Overall, Grow A Garden has a simple and easy-to-understand mechanic and a cute and relaxing visual style. While you might find it boring after playing for a while, it's one of the best ways for kids to relax after studying.

It's Not Just About Planting

The success of any game depends on player interaction. Even games without a social system will have players communicating through forums and groups if they are popular enough.

Based on this, Grow A Garden allows you to show your garden construction progress to others in the game, encouraging you to keep playing to learn how to obtain rare or hidden items and to ask experienced players for advice.

This is undoubtedly a great online social channel for teenagers who are busy with studies or not good at socializing. Everyone can freely share their GAG experiences on Reddit or other social platforms.

Furthermore, in today's increasingly urbanized world, the possibility of enjoying real rural life is becoming increasingly rare for most teenagers who have access to games. Grow A Garden can help them rediscover this experience in the virtual world.

While many of the plants and animals in the game are original virtual items, there are also some real crops that can help younger players expand their knowledge in this area, rather than being limited to books and classrooms.

Compared to similarly popular games like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing, Grow A Garden comes from a platform more familiar to children and is easier to pick up - though this can be addictive. We'll discuss this in more detail in the next section.

Grow A Garden Isn't Perfect

While Grow A Garden seems harmless compared to other Roblox games with gore and violence that cause parental concern, this is only true if players don't become overly addicted.

The game mechanics are designed so that crops continue to grow even offline, and daily logins reward players, making it easy to play every day unless you uninstall the game. The more time you invest, the more you gain.

This can easily lead to addiction for teenagers who are still developing and lack self-control. Over time, they might even be cheated by malicious players due to their obsession with certain items, resulting in financial losses or more serious consequences.

Therefore, some parents choose to ban their children from playing Grow A Garden or similar games due to these negative effects, but this leads to another social problem: isolation because they can't discuss the game with their classmates.

How To Utilize Games Correctly?

In fact, not only in the gaming world, but often the problem isn't a particular object or phenomenon, but rather the people associated with it, because only people are truly uncontrollable.

In today's era of widespread internet access, completely banning children from games is virtually impossible, and it's not a good measure either. The key lies in the efforts of game developers, social regulators, and parents.

First, game developers should avoid designing too many addictive mechanisms and promptly remove negative elements when they find games are more popular with teenagers, while strengthening the control over the overall behavior of players.

On the social front, there should be strengthened internet regulation, identifying and banning game bloggers with negative influences, reducing the negative impact of others on teenagers' gaming from multiple dimensions.

As for parents, as the adults closest to their children, they should communicate with them in a reasonable way, set game time limits, and distract their children's attention by engaging in other activities.

If children are found to be addicted to games due to social reasons, they need timely guidance and comfort. Sometimes, addiction to games isn't about loving to play, but simply a way to escape reality; even adults sometimes do this.

In short, the popularity of Grow A Garden is inevitable at present, and there is nothing wrong with teenagers playing it. The key is to minimize the negative impact and ensure that players only have fun and are not bothered by the resulting troubles.

Monopoly Go Harry Potter GO! album launches on December 10th! Many people love the legendary Harry Potter story, so this album is expected to be just as exciting as Marvel Go album!

The various events in this album will undoubtedly bring a variety of Hogwarts-themed shield tokens and dice skins, which will be the final rewards for special events. However, participating in these events requires dice, which are the most consumed item in Monopoly Go. How can you effectively acquire and use them during this album season?

Harry Potter GO Album Rewards

Completing the album's sticker collection is the biggest challenge of each season, and completing the album will reward you with a large number of dice. Let's take a look at the rewards you can get after completing the entire sticker collection.

Based on last season's rewards, completing the album for the first time will grant you the following rewards:

• 15,000 dice rolls
• A large amount of cash
• Harry Potter themed Board Token

Completing the album for the second time will grant you the following rewards:

• 15,000 dice rolls
• A large amount of cash
• Harry Potter themed Dice Skin

How To Effectively Use Dice?

Does The 6, 7, 8 Trick Really Works?

When you look at Monopoly Go tips, you'll see some players recommend using the 6, 7, 8 trick. This involves rolling 6 to 8 spaces away from your desired location, increasing your chances of landing there. This trick is based on statistics; according to the normal distribution principle, these numbers have a higher probability of rolling. However, Monopoly Go's dice aren't real dice, and they're just a random number generator, which many players believe is not truly random but manipulated.

It manipulates your position based on your dice roll and the event content, so the 6, 7, 8 trick is essentially ineffective, and the probability of rolling a 7 is only around 16%. You might win occasionally, but you'll lose your luck in the long run, which is one of the secrets to Monopoly Go becoming one of the most profitable mobile games.

Free Dice

The developers don't want all players to leave due to a lack of Monopoly Go dice, so they give away a minimum amount of dice daily to allow you to participate in events. You can obtain dice through:

• Free Gift
• Daily Free Dice Links
• Quick Wins Rewards
• Community Chests

If you diligently collect all of the above daily, you can get at least several hundred dice each day. Furthermore, if you run out of dice, the game will automatically replenish some, but it refills slowly and has a cap.

How To Participate In Tournaments?

Tournaments and banner events are held almost daily, and compared to banner events, tournaments also offer ranking rewards. Top finishers receive sticker packs, cash, and dice, making tournaments generally worthwhile.

However, even if you achieve a ranking, the extra dice often don't compensate for your expenditure, as players typically participate for the tokens and sticker packs. Therefore, you need to assess whether participating in a tournament that day is sometimes worthwhile.

First, you need to successfully land your pieces on the railway a few times to gain points in the tournament. Then, wait a while to see how many points the leaderboard player has. If it's too high (you can set a baseline for yourself, such as 5000 points), then drop the tournament.

If the leaderboard player doesn't have many points, don't rush to surpass them, as they might be a bot. As your points increase, theirs will also increase, forcing you to chase them, and the organizers use this method to deplete your dice.

The safest method is to try and catch up in the last hour before the tournament ends, when the game‘s manipulation of the pieces is much weaker. This method also works for other events. Additionally, you're more likely to win at midnight when other players are resting.

Finding A Game Partner

This is still related to tournaments. When you reach a railway tile and trigger the mini-game, your minimum score is 2 points, which is when you're in Shutdown Blocked. To get more points, you need a partner who doesn't shield buildings, ensuring your attacks are successful every time. This means you'll get at least 4 points, saving you a lot of dice.

Sticker Trading

You'll often receive dice rewards when you complete a sticker set. However, don't waste dice collecting stickers early in the sticker season, and save them for the later stages.

Towards the end of the sticker season, some players give up because they can't collect all the stickers. They'll practically give them away to other players, making sticker collection much easier later on. Remember to share your extra stickers with other players who need them - mutual help is key.

Multiplier Techniques

The following techniques are just speculation from the player community and may not actually work. That is, when you set a multiplier, certain numbers have a higher probability of appearing. For example, a multiplier of 50 makes it easier to get a 10, while a multiplier of 20 makes it easier to get a 6 or a 7. You'll need to experiment to find the specific patterns. If this works for you, you can manipulate the dice results to some extent.

Alternatively, these techniques might help you accumulate some dice, but if Harry Potter GO event offers the shield or token skins you want, don't hesitate - try every method to get them!
