miHoYo revealed in the latest Genshin Impact Sneak Peek livestream that Ver 1.4 Invitation of Windblume, will include at least four new weapons, one of which is the Wine and Song Catalyst. Here's everything we know about the Wine and Song weapon in Genshin Impact, including how to obtain the weapon, its ability, and its stats when fully upgraded at max level.

Wine and Song is a four star Catalyst weapon

Meaning Wine and Song is equitable by characters such as Lisa, Barbara, Klee, Sucrose, Mona, and Ningguang. Mona overall seems like the best choice for the weapon.

Keep in mind the stats below is what has been leaked from the Private Beta Test. It's possible that the stats will be slightly different when Version 1.4 Invitation of Windblume launches on March 16.

UPDATE: With the official release of Wine and Song, we now have the final stats for the weapon. None of the stats were changed compared to the Beta.

Wine and Song Genshin Impact

Wine and Song Stats at Level 1 and Level 90 (Max Level)

  • Base ATK: 44 (565)
  • Sub Stat: 6.7% Energy Recharge (30.6%)

Wine and Song Special Ability

(Refine level progression of the ability is under parenthesis)

Hitting an opponent with a Normal Attack decrease Stamina consumption of Sprinting or Alternate Sprinting by 14% (16%, 18%, 20%, 22%) for 5 seconds. Sprinting or Alternative Sprinting increases ATK by 20% (25%, 30%, 35%, 40%) for 5s.

Weapon Ascension Materials required for Wine and Song

Players will need Boreal Wolf materials, Ley Line materials, and Treasure Hoarder materials. The Boreal Wolf materials are farmed in Domain of Forgery: Submerged Valley on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Altar of the Falls on Sunday. Ley Line materials are dropped by Abyss Mages Treasure.

For the locations of the Domains and the monsters, simply check in-game in your Adventurer Handbook.

How to Get the Wine and Song Catalyst

Wine and Song will be available in a new weapon banner starting on March 16. It's a four star weapon so you should have a fairly easy time to get it if you plan to spend your Primogems, or money, on the banner.

Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open world action JRPG, available on PC, PS4, PS5 via backward compatibility, and Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch, but has no release date on the platform yet.

How to Get The Alley Flash in Genshin Impact – Stats, Ability, Builds

The Alley Flash Genshin Impact mihyo ps4 ps5 switch pc invitation of windblume

miHoYo revealed in the newest Genshin Impact livestream all the details on Ver 1.4 Invitation of Windblume, including new weapon The Alley Flash, a Sword. Here's everything you should know about The Alley Flash in Genshin Impact, including its ability, its stats, its substat, its banner release time, and whether you should pull for it or not.

The Alley Flash is a four star Sword weapon

Jean, Kaeya, Bennett, Albedo, Xingqiu, Qiqi, and Keqing can equip The Alley Flash. Overall, it looks like a great Sword for elemental reaction builds such as Vaporize. You might want to get it for Xingqiu or Bennett for example.

Keep in mind the stats below is what has been leaked from the Private Beta Test. It's possible that the stats will be slightly different when Ver 1.4 Invitation of Windblume launches on March 17. We will be sure to update this article if the stats are different.

UPDATE: We have updated the stats below accordingly with the official release of The Alley Flash. The max Base ATK was changed from 660 to 620. Keep in mind this technically isn't a "nerf" as nothing in Beta is final.

The Alley Flash Genshin Impact

The Alley Flash Stats: Level 1 (Level 90)

  • Base ATK: 45 (620)
  • Sub Stat: 12 (55) Elemental Mastery

The Alley Flash Special Ability

(Refine level progression of the ability is under parenthesis)

Increases DMG dealt by the character equipping this weapon by 12 % (15%, 18%, 21%, 24%). Taking DMG disables this effect for 5s.

Overall The Alley Flash is a great Sword for a DPS character, as long as you don't get hit.

Weapon Ascension Materials required for The Alley Flash

Players will need Decarabian materials, Horn materials, and Scroll materials to Ascend The Alley Flash. The Decarabian materials are farmed in Domains. Mitachurl and Hilichurl Chieftains drop the horns. Scrolls are dropped by Samachurls.

For the locations of the Domains and the monsters for the materials, simply check in-game in your Adventurer Handbook.

How to Get The Alley Flash, Should you pull for it?

The Alley Flash will be available in a new weapon banner starting on March 16. Again, this is a four star weapon, so you can get it in ten pulls if you're lucky. Overall it's an investment, either Primogems or real money, as it'll only be obtainable through the banner. Personally I'd recommend avoiding putting  money on the table, and keeping your Primogems for new characters rather than weapons.

The banner will also include the Wine and Song Catalyst.

Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open world action JRPG, available on PC, PS4, PS5 via backward compatibility, and Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch, but has no release date on the platform yet.

Genshin Impact Next Weapon Banner Release Time Revealed – Should You Pull Elegy For The End?

Genshin Impact Next Weapon Banner

Genshin Impact published the details regarding the next weapon banner, or Epitome Invocation. The Ver 1.4 weapon banner will start right after maintenance ends, and will most notably include a brand new 5 star bow, the Elegy For The End. Several new four star weapons are included as well.

The next weapon banner in Genshin Impact will be available right after maintenance ends on March 16. This new weapon banner, with Elegy of the End, will last until April 6, 2021 at 15:59:59 ET.

  • LEAKS – New details on two upcoming characters, Eula and Feiyan

The next weapon banner includes a drop rate boost for 5 star Sword Skyward Blade. Moreover, the banner also includes two event-exclusive 4-star weapons: The Alley Flash (Sword) and Wine and Song (Catalyst). Lastly, three already existing weapons will also receive a boost on the banner: Favonius Greatsword (Claymore), Favonius Warbow (Bow), and Dragon's Bane (Polearm).

There are several weapons being added with Ver 1.4 Invitation of Windblume. We have guides for them:

Seeing Alley Hunter is not included in this weapon banner. it's likely to be included in the second weapon banner of Ver 1.4, starting right after this one ends.

Personally speaking, I've said it once, and I'll keep saying it, I wouldn't recommend anyone pulling on weapon banners. This is the kind of content geared for whales, those willing to spend a lot of money on the Genshin gacha. Long story short, you'll be better off optimizing your artifacts. Many four star weapons are perfectly viable to clear the current endgame content. Moreover, unlike character banners, weapon banners have no guarantee to give you the 5 star weapon you want when hitting 90 pulls. You might aim for Elegy of the End only to end with Skyward Blade every time.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, an Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch but has no release date there yet. Ver 1.4 will launch on March 16 ET, here's how to pre download it.

  • LEAKS – New Aether and Lumine voice clips from Ver 1.4 story quest

As usual, we will get 60 Primogems for each hour the Genshin server is down. Meaning every Genshin Impact player will be receiving for free 300 compensation Primogems once maintenance ends. Even if maintenance ends earlier than expected, we will still get the same amount.

Note that you can pre download Genshin Impact 1.4, without waiting for maintenance to start.

Genshin Impact Ver 1.4 will most notably add new character Rosaria, and include reruns of the Venti banner and the Childe banner. There are several events coming as well. The biggest system change is also the new Hangout Events, added for four 4 star characters: Noelle, Bennett, Barbara, and Chongyun.

How do you feel about the update so far? Are you planning to pull Venti, Childe, or Rosaria? Personally speaking, as I often said in the past, there's virtually no need for more characters once you reach a certain point. rather than worrying about builds, tierlists and whatnot, simply pull if you truly like the character. If you don't, save up your primogems slowly but surely for the chosen one.

Genshin Impact, developed by miHoYo, is available on PC, PS4, PS5 via backward compatibility, and Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch, but has no release date on the system yet.

Attack on Titan The Final Season 14 Delayed – When's The Release Date of Episode 73 Following the Earthquake?

Attack on Titan The Final Season episode 14 delayed release date

Attack on Titan The Final Season Episode 14, which was supposed to air in Japan on public channel NHK on March 15, was delayed due to an earthquake. The magnitude 4.6 earthquake at Northern Wakayama Prefecture, and those who followed, thankfully made no serious victims or casualties according to the Japanese government's latest reports. No tsunami warnings were issued either.

While Attack on Titan The Final Season episode 14 (episode 73 when counting past seasons) was airing in Japan, the broadcast switched to emergency coverage of the earthquake. The anime series first airs in Japan every Monday at 12:10 AM, on NHK, a public TV channel, which means priority is given to such reports.

NHK shared via Twitter:

"Regarding the postponement of the broadcast of Attack on Titan. Future broadcast details will be announced sometime after March 15 morning (JST)"

The official Japanese account for the Attack on Titan anime also stated a new release date for Episode 14 will be shared as soon as possible.

What's the new English release date for Attack on Titan The Final Season Episode 14 following the earthquake?

Both Funimation and Crunchyroll are simulcasting Attack on Titan around the world, with English subtitles – both streaming services announced the episode will be delayed, and did not publish a new release date yet.

First, it's important to note there are two scenarios when these delays happen.

First: when the delay was expected. For example, an important sports competition is being held at the same time the episode was supposed to air, and is broadcasted instead. When this happens, anime episodes get delayed by a week.

The second scenario is when we have unexpected delays, just like this earthquake. When it comes to unexpected incidents like these, we can only wait for TV channels to announce when the episode will be rebroadcast. After that, Simulcast sites Crunchyroll and Funimation should publish their own announcements accordingly. Personally speaking, as someone who's been watching anime for a while, I remember seeing episodes pushed back by a week in these cases.

Lastly, keep in mind the NHK broadcast was interrupted, not canceled. Needless to say, a good chunk of the episode did air on TV. We will not be promoting anything illegal, but we won't ignore the elephant in the room: There are several unofficial versions of Attack on Titan The Final Season Episode 14 floating around. It's up to you whether you wish to watch part of the episode this way. Or wait for Crunchyroll and Funimation.

In any case, for now we can only wait, and keep in our thoughts the citizens of Wakayama prefecture who are currently dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake.

Genshin Impact Childe Skin Discovered – Will New Costumes Release?

genshin impact childe skin costume feature mihoyo ps4 ps5 switch pc

Soon after the launch of the Genshin Impact Ver 1.4 Invitation of Windblume preview site, several players found out the site's source code files included a pretty peculiar sight, an image asset showing Childe, or Tartaglia, topless, which could hint at a new skin. Many fans initially though this to be fanart, but this is truly official and from the ver 1.4 preview site.

How do you find that Childe image?

You simply need to access the Ver 1.4 preview site, and check the source files. You can do that by hitting Ctrl+ Shift + E, and then reloading the page. The Network window which opened then on your browser should list all the files on the page.

  • MORE LEAKS – New Aether and Lumine voice clips from ver 1.4 story quest

Genshin Impact fans on Reddit and Twitter, later on, reused the asset to try and imagine what a shirtless costume version of Childe could look like:

Will we get Summer Costumes and Skins for Childe?

For now, this is actually not happening, sadly. As several fans pointed out on Twitter, the reason why this shirtless asset for Childe exists on the site is for animation purposes. It's a necessary asset for the animation of his portrait on his dedicated page.

However, it's definitely fun to see how much care was put into designing Childe's upper half. Showing once again miHoYo is made of huge otaku. And letting us imagine what a swimsuit or summer-themed skin for Childe could look like in Genshin Impact.

However, this doesn't mean we couldn't get a summer outfit of the kind of Chile in the long run. In the past, miHoYo teased Genshin Impact in the future can get systems such as a housing system, a farming system, and alternate costumes, or skins. We'll be sure to tell you the day it does happen.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5 via backward compatibility, and Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch. However, miHoYo did not announce a release date for Nintendo's platform yet.

Why Was Streamer GeorgeNotFound Banned From Twitch Twice in Two Days?

why was georgenotfound banned

It looks like popular Twitch Streamer GeorgeNotFound has found himself in hot water twice over the past two days.

The streamer is no stranger to bans, having been banned from TikTok just last month "due to multiple community guidelines violations."

Now, over the course of both Saturday and Sunday, this weekend, GerogeNotFound has had his alt Twitch account banned not once, but twice.

Here's everything we know about the question: "Why was GeorgeNotFound banned from Twitch."

Who is GeorgeNotFound?

GeorgeNotFound is an incredibly popular internet personality. He focuses his content around Minecraft and has built up a loyal following across plenty of online platforms.

His YouTube channel alone has 6.5 Million subscribers, with his main Twitch channel having just shy of three million followers and his Twitter account having more than two million.

Why was GeorgeNotFound banned from Twitch on Saturday, March 13?

On Saturday, March 13, GeorgeNotFound tweeted that his alt Twitch account had been banned.

According to Twitch, the ban was due to George "using an inappropriate username". This is particularly strange as the username on his alternate Twitch account is simply ThisIsGeorgeNotFound.

Twitch stated that the length of the ban was "indefinite." Thankfully, his channel was quickly reinstated.

Why was GeorgeNotFound banned again on Sunday, March 14?

Suddenly, and seemingly out of the blue, George's account was banned for a second time just a day later. George appeared perplexed as he just tweeted "twitch just banned me… again".

This time, the screenshot of the ban detailed a few more reasons why he may have been banned. It states: having a username that "insults another user", "threatens negative action towards another user", or "promotes self-harm in conjunction with malicious chat activity, such as telling another user to kill themselves" could all be reasons for a ban.

George's username, however, does none of those things. Based on this, plus the fact that he was unbanned only two-hours later, it looks like Twitch simply made a mistake. Thankfully, this seems to be resolved for now.

Genshin Impact 1.5 Datamine Leaks – When Will Eula And Feiyan be Playable?

Genshin 1.5 leaks eula feiyan Impact New Year illustration Ayayka female traveler Inazuma - ayaka and female traveler at a temple praying for new years

More datamine leaks from the upcoming Genshin Impact 1.5 private beta test have emerged, hinting that new characters Eula and Feiyan could be playable when 1.5 launches. Dataminers have noticed that the preload data of the Chinese version of the Ver 1.5 Private Beta test includes voice clips linked to unreleased characters Eula and Feiyan. Interpreting this, it could mean that Eula and Feiyan will be playable in Ver 1.5.

What we know about Eula and Feiyan in Genshin Impact so far

Right now, according to the information we have so far from dataminers, Eula is a Cryo vision user, a Claymore user, and from Mondstadt. Meanwhile, Feiyan has a Pyro vision, is a Catalyst user, and from Liyue Harbor.

miHoYo opened up the registrations for the Ver 1.5 Closed Beta Test recently. The beta should start in the next few days. It's important to note miHoYo is forbidding players in the Closed beta from sharing any type of information. Moreover, some leakers in the past have already been sued by miHoYo for breaking the Non Disclosure Agreement, or NDA.

We will only know for sure whether Eula and Feiyan are playable in the Genshin 1.5 Beta if a player participating in the test leaks the information. However, even assuming Eula and Feiyan are indeed playable in the 1.5 Beta, it's important to note that there's absolutely no guarantee they will be playable in the official Ver 1.5. Personally speaking, I don't base my expectations on leaks or datamined content at all. I'd add that a lot of datamined content, characters and items, still isn't in the official game either. And some of that content has been datamined as far back as Ver 1.1. I'd say you should keep this in mind and to not get your hopes up with only leaks and datamined info as a basis.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, an Mobile. The game was also announced on Switch but has no release date there yet. Ver 1.4 will launch on March 17, here's how to pre download it.

When Will Watch Dogs Legion Cross Play Be Available?

Watch Dogs Legion, Watch Dogs Legion Cross Play

A few days earlier, Ubisoft Montreal officially released the Online mode for the third installment of the Watch Dogs series. Following this update, there will ba another update in the near future that will add the Watch Dogs Legion Cross Play and Cross Generational features to the game.

Recently, Ubisoft officially launched the Watch Dogs Legion Online mode on some of the game's current platforms, with some others, including PC, receiving it at a later date. As per the developer, the game will support Cross Play and Cross Generational Play on every platform. The former means console and PC players can play with/against each other on the same servers, while the latter means PS4/Xbox One players can play with/against PS5/Xbox Series X|S players.

Below, you can check out the official response from Watch Dogs Legion's Twitter account to one of the fans asking about the cross generational play feature:

While the release date of the online mode on PC is yet to be revealed, there's obviously no release window for the Watch Dogs Legion Cross Play update as well. The PC version was supposed to launch on March 9, but a technical issue with some GPUs forced developers to push it back.

The online mode in Watch Dogs Legion allows up to four players to team up and take part in special co-op missions built for the online mode. They can also start playing PvP matches against other players. For the time being, you might not find enough content for playing with your friends, but Ubisoft Montreal has promised to add more missions and activities to the online section of the game, including an upcoming Tactical Ops mission on March 23.

Watch Dogs Legion is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

Here are the messages from each of the two characters.

Childe: "Shh! This gift won't be as special if too many people know of it. Well then, open it up and have a look. Yes, right now — I'll have you know that I've spent several sleepless nights wondering whether you'll like it."

Zhong Li: "I have heard that this is a fine occasion for returning gifts. Having been in your care normally, I took the opportunity presented by this new custom to choose a present for you. I hope that it will be to your liking."

Alongside that, miHoYo is also celebrating Jean's birthday and an artwork has been posted for that as well, along with an in-game message.
