     WoW Dragonflight quest skip returns for fast alt professions

One handy WoW Dragonflight quest skip has returned, and should make the process of WoW Dragonflight leveling for your alts a little bit smoother. The skip, which was available early during the launch of Dragonflight, allows players to gain profession knowledge more easily on their alternate classes in the Blizzard MMORPG. However, it temporarily disappeared from World of Warcraft, only to make its return now.

     Cyberpunk 2077 mod makes crowds less like The Matrix, keeps Keanu

What do Cyberpunk 2077 and The Matrix have in common? If you answered "Keanu Reeves" you'd be correct but, according to one modder, the nature of the crowds is something both could improve on as well. This is why they've implemented a series of minor tweaks in a Cyberpunk 2077 mod, which should make the residents of Night City feel more realistic.

     Overwatch 2 arcade needs an Overwatch Classic 6v6 mode

The Overwatch 2 arcade is a nice way to relax, giving players a chance to step away from the stress of ranked play and enjoy some more chaotic or laid-back modes in the Blizzard multiplayer game. It's currently where you'll find the Overwatch 2 Battle for Olympus mode, a frantic free-for-all where players get powers themed after Greek gods. One mode that's been notably absent so far, however, seems like one of its most obvious - Overwatch Classic.

Valve's official accessory is finally available after a lengthy wait, but its price point is a tough swallow when there are plenty of USB-C hubs out there that play nice with the portable powerhouse.

raiden shogun artifacts

While Raiden Shogun is a character who can fill multiple niches in a party, she, like her "son" Wanderer, really only needs a few Artifacts to be good. Fortunately, the Domains you can find her Artifacts in are not too difficult to clear, especially for long-time players. When you choose your Artifacts, make sure to prioritize her Energy Recharge on top of the usual CRIT stats.

Emblem of Severed Fate (4 PC)

This one here is Raiden Shogun's best set. It can turn her from a support to a much more aggressive sub-DPS with how fast her Burst can come back. As well, the 4-piece effect will greatly boost her damage from her Burst. Because Raiden Shogun's Energy Recharge levels up with her Ascensions, and you should ideally give her Artifacts that boost her ER, she should be able to easily hit that maximum 75% damage boost.

Noblesse Oblige (4 PC)

This is the set to use when you're using Raiden Shogun exclusively as a support. The 4-piece effect for Noblesse Oblige will help to increase the Attack of your other party members. For example, if you are running Raiden Shogun with Nahida, then that Noblesse Oblige attack buff combined with the powerful Quicken (along with either Aggravate or Spread) should make quick work of even the tankiest foes.

Emblem of Severed Fate (2PC) + Noblesse Oblige (2 PC)

This is the Jack-of-all-Trades build for Raiden Shogun when you cannot get enough good Emblem pieces. Incidentally, my Raiden Shogun has been using this for a while and she's perfectly serviceable with this combination. She is definitely not the best she can be, though. With these two sets, she plays similar to if you had 4 good Emblem pieces.

Thundersoother (4 PC)

Most Raiden Shogun mains probably will not considering Thundersoother or Thundering Fury, but for those in the early stages of the game, this is a pretty good Artifact combination. As long as the enemy is affected by Electro, she can deal an extra 35% damage to them. Raiden Shogun's Electro application is really good, too. However, a full Thundersoother set will limit who you can run Raiden Shogun with, and generally does not give the same firepower or utility as the other options.

Genshin Impact is readily available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You can pull for both Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato until January 17, 2023.

honkai impact 3rd asteroid figures

AmiAmi opened up provisional pre-orders for five Honkai Impact 3rd Asteroid series figures. These are re-runs of past figures. The Asteroid series are miniature figures that use chibi-fied designs of the characters. All of the figures cost 5,200 JPY ($39.40) and will come out some time in May 2023.

The re-run Honkai Impact 3rd Asteroid figures all come from different releases. For example, the Sugar Haw Child version of Theresa was from the sixth batch, whereas the Umbral Rose Rita figure was from the fifth. All of the figures stand at under 10 centimeters tall.

You will be able to pre-order:

[gallery columns="5" ids="945885,945886,945887,945888,945889" link="file"]

As a reminder, these are provisional pre-orders. That means they may not be available if the manufacturer does not make enough to match the demand.

The most recent update in Honkai Impact 3rd allows players to use the Herrscher of Truth and Sixth Serenade in the Elysian Realm. There is also an update to Chip Space. You will be able to get the Elemental Rush Core and Versatile Core chips. You can trigger Elemental Rush after you deal Elemental DMG, whereas Versatility grants stacks depending on the variety of attacks you use.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on the Windows PC and mobile devices, and the Asteroid series figures are available for pre-order via AmiAmi. They will come out in May 2023.
