Anyone actually here and writing for themself is in regular text.

genshin impact mika ascension

Due to how late his debut is in Genshin Impact, it's fairly easy for older players to farm Ascension Materials for Mika. In fact, chances are very high that most players who have Mika also already have all of his stuff. Since Mika hails from Mondstadt, the majority of his Ascension Materials are from that region.

Here are the Ascension Materials you will need to use for Mika in Genshin Impact:

Ascension 1

  • 1 Shivada Jade Sliver
  • 3 Wolfhooks
  • 3 Recruit's Insignia
  • 20,000 Mora

Ascension 2

  • 3 Shivada Jade Fragments
  • 10 Wolfhooks
  • 15 Recruit's Insignias
  • 2 Pseudo-Stamens
  • 40,000 Mora

Ascension 3

  • 6 Shivada Jade Fragments
  • 20 Wolfhooks
  • 12 Sergeant's Insignias
  • 4 Pseudo-Stamens
  • 60,000 Mora

Ascension 4

  • 3 Shivada Jade Chunks
  • 30 Wolfhooks
  • 18 Sergeant's Insignias
  • 8 Pseudo-Stamens
  • 80,000 Mora

Ascension 5

  • 6 Shivada Jade Chunks
  • 45 Wolfhooks
  • 12 Lieutenant's Insignias
  • 12 Pseudo-Stamens
  • 100,000 Mora

Ascension 6

  • 6 Shivada Jade Gemstones
  • 60 Wolfhooks
  • 24 Lieutenant's Insignias
  • 20 Pseudo-Stamens
  • 120,000 Mora

In total, if you plan on ascending Mika all the way, you will need 420,000 Mora, 46 Pseudo-Stamens, 168 Wolfhooks, 18 Recruit's Insignias, 30 Sergeant's Insignias, and 36 Lieutenant's Insignias. You can get Wolfhooks around Wolvendom in Mondstadt, and Insignias are drops from Fatui enemies. The Pseudo-Stamens are the only Materials exclusively outside of Mondstadt. You can get them from the Setekh Wenut in the Sumeru desert.

As for his Talents, Mika takes Ballad. Ballad Talent Books are available from Forsaken Rift on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. To fully max out a Talent, you will need:

  • 1,652,500 Mora
  • 6 Recruit's Insignia
  • 22 Sergeant's Insignia
  • 31 Lieutenant's Insignia
  • 3 Teachings of Ballad
  • 21 Guides to Ballad
  • 38 Philosophies of Ballad
  • 6 Mirrors of Mushin
  • 1 Crown of Insight

The Mirror of Mushin is a drop from the Shouki no Kami Weekly Boss. Though there is no need for Mika himself to be very strong, it's best to Ascend him as much as possible so that you can upgrade his Elemental Skill. Mika's ability to increase the party's Attack Speed is essentially his bread and butter, so all you need to do is upgrade that.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. As a four-star, Mika will always be in the gacha.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Wesker Voice Actor

Arguably one of the most iconic characters in Resident Evil, Wesker makes a brief appearance in Resident Evil 4 remake. We won't be spoiling when, but if you clicked the link, then you know he will show up at some point in the game. However, like most classic Resident Evil characters, there's a new a new voice actor for Wesker in Resident Evil 4 remake.

D.C. Douglas, the voice actor for Wesker in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, and Resident Evil 5 did not return to voice Wesker in this installment in the series. Neither did Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, and Resident Evil 4 voice actor Richard Waugh. Waugh may have seemed like the natural choice to reprise his role, given his stint at voicing the character in the original release of the game.

However, an entirely new voice actor has taken the mantle of Wesker: Craig Burnatowski. This is Burnatowski's first role in any Resident Evil title. However, he does have some credits in Ubisoft titles like Watch Dogs 2, The Division 2, and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. A demo is available. Additionally, PlayStation 5 version will have a VR mode exclusive to the PSVR 2.

Resident Evil 4 Infinite Rocket Launcher

Several weapons will be available to players once they complete Resident Evil 4 remake, with the Infinite Rocket Launcher being one of them. Like the original title, the Infinite Rocket Launcher will be available once you heave beaten the game once. From there, it will be available to purchase from the Merchant on a New Game+ save file. However, please keep in mind that if you use this weapon, you won't be able to achieve an S+ rank on that specific save file. This is due to any New Game+ run being restricted to that rule.

Once you have made your way to the Merchant, the Infinite Rocket Launcher in Resident Evil 4 remake can be purchased for 2,000,000 pesetas. It's a hefty sum, but will make runs where you're just looking to complete challenges or obtain all treasures significantly faster. Especially since the Infinite Rocket Launcher can one-hit every boss in the game. This is barring phase changes, after which the boss can then be killed with the weapon again.

Arguably, it's one of the best weapons in the game. This makes it popular for Resident Evil 4 remake New Game+ runs on any difficulty. Thankfully, the only items you receive for getting S+ on all difficulties are cosmetic items. So you can blast through the game and unlock the other weapons restricted to those challenges with ease.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. A playable demo is immediately available.

Painted Ouran High School Host Club Haruhi Fujioka, Kyoya Ootori, and Tamaki Suoh Nendoroid prototypes appeared at AnimeJapan 2023

Back at WonHobby 36 in February 2023, Good Smile Company shared Ouran High School Host Club Nendoroid announcements. At the time, these were early in development. That meant that only Tamaki Suoh appeared as an unpainted prototype. Only tentative art of Haruhi Fujioka and Kyoya Ootori showed up. Now at AnimeJapan 2023, painted prototypes of all three appeared. In each case, only one face plate and pose appeared.

First, here's how Haruhi looks.

Next, here's Kyoya.

Finally, here's the Tamaki Nendoroid. It seems as though both the Kyoya and Tamaki Nendoroid designs feature the same "body" and uniform.

There's no release window yet for each Ouran High School Host Club Haruhi Fujioka, Kyoya Ootori, and Tamaki Suoh Nendoroid yet. However, as all three appeared in a painted form at this point, it could be possible that they'll all debut at about the same time.

jujutsu kaisen season 2

MAPPA released a new key visual of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, featuring Gojo and Geto. The second season will feature a flashback arc of when Gojo and Geto were students. That arc is specifically what this key visual is for. More information will come out about the second season on March 25, 2023 at the AJ Stage.

Aside from Gojo and Geto, Toji Fushiguro, Riko Amanai, and Misato Kuroi are in the key visual as well. All three characters are major players in the Gojo's Past Arc. As we can see from the key visual, however, the title of the arc will be the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death Arc. Because the show essentially ended with the Death Painting Arc, we'll likely start from the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death Arc.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a highly popular manga series that debuted in 2018 and then appeared as an anime adaptation in 2020. It follows the story of Yuji Itadori, who swallows the fingers of the powerful Curse Sukuna. However, he's somehow able to control it to a degree. In order to prevent the jujutsu sorcerers from executing him, he trains to become a jujutsu sorcerer himself and fights against curses that threaten humanity.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will start airing in July 2023. It is readily available on streaming services such as Crunchyroll.
