     Asus just hinted at an Xbox handheld gaming PC with its new ROG Ally teaser

Asus has just teased a new device that could be the first Xbox handheld gaming PC. The company has alluded to a potential new Asus ROG Ally handheld in a recently posted video, but a comment by the Xbox social media team, along with hints in the video itself, points to a potential Xbox tie-up.

Asus isn't new to the handheld gaming world, successfully launching devices such as the Asus ROG Ally X, which is easily ranked among the best handheld gaming PCs that you can buy. Meanwhile, hints of an Xbox handheld have persisted for some time, although Microsoft hasn't made any official announcement about such a device so far.

     When is the next Monopoly Go Golden Blitz event?

When is the next Monopoly Go Golden Blitz? This special, limited-time event allows players to trade the usually locked golden stickers up to five times a day. This is an ideal solution for grabbing elusive missing stickers and completing albums quickly. While you can trade these up to five times a day, each event is limited to two specific stickers, set by Scopely.

There's no official schedule for Monopoly Go's Golden Blitz event, so we can only estimate the date of the next Movie Night Golden Blitz based on previous events and official sticker polls. However, we check daily for official word on the next trade. While you wait, be sure to participate in other Monopoly Go events for a chance to earn rare sticker pack, and keep on top of freebies with our free Monopoly Go dice rolls guide, which is updated regularly with the newest links.

     Overlooked space strategy game inspired by Stellaris is now cheaper than ever

For the sake of argument, let's say you were more than a little disappointed with Civilization 7. You're waiting for the new season of Stellaris. Manor Lords updates are still in the works. Cities Skylines 2…isn't there yet. Essentially, there's a good chance that a strategy-game-shaped gulf has appeared in your life - there are a lot of solid choices out there, but perhaps you've worked through them all already. In that case, meet Ixion. Created by Bulwark, the studio behind Warhammer 40k Mechanicus, while it's not without its fans, it's also managed to slip under the mainstream radar. If you've not heard of it, or you've been waiting for a robust reason to play, Ixion is now cheaper than ever.

     Ghost of Tsushima system requirements

What are the Ghost of Tsushima system requirements? Ghost of Tsushima is a delight to play on PC, provided you can meet its sometimes lofty demands. You'll need an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XT to get the best out of this cinematic smaurai adventure at 4K, but thankfully only a GTX 960 to get it running at the lowest settings.

The Ghost of Tsushima system requirements don't demand the best graphics card, unless you're aiming for 4K gameplay at 60fps. Despite the recent confirmation from Nvidia that the GTX line of GPUs is out of production, we can see these Pascal GPUs still featuring as the bare minimum you'll need to start playing.

With Runescape Dragonwinds now on the horizon and packing PC specs that are more in line with modern 3D games, it makes the standard Runescape requirements look ancient.

     New Counter-Strike 2 update transforms the game, as legendary map is overhauled

On paper, the new Counter-Strike 2 update sounds perfectly innocent, if not a little comic: "Adjusted Banana to more closely match the size of the CSGO version." But whether you're a veteran of Valve's multiplayer FPS or a relative newcomer, this seemingly marginal change is likely to have an impact on your entire game. From Half-Life to Left 4 Dead, Deadlock to Portal, Valve has proven itself one of the most capable level designers in gaming - I'm sure there's logic here, and this is hardly the first time that Banana, that legendary alleyway towards bomb site B on Inferno, has been overhauled. Nevertheless, thanks to the new CS2 patch, years of tried-and-true tactics will likely have to be revised.

     XCOM rival Xenonauts 2 is suddenly much bigger, so now's the time to play

If you want to play some of the best strategy games on PC, you need to look no further than XCOM. Since Civilization developer Firaxis took charge of the series in 2012, each game has offered up some of the most tense, involved, and heart-pounding decision-making around. But before the modern reimagining, there was X-COM. This '90s version of the game is quite different from its modern counterpart and has even inspired its collection of spiritual successors. Of these games, Xenonauts 2 is easily one of the best, and the latest free update makes it even better.

What is the best Warzone Kar98k loadout? An oldie but a goodie, the Kar98k is a WW2-era, bolt-action marksman rifle that is simplistic and deadly, and it's finally back.

Every year, the fruit flies and mosquitoes return to my kitchen, drawn to the illicit aroma of unlidded pasta sauce and the rank embroidery of carbonised toast around my cooker. Every year, I attempt to remove them non-violently by building intricate traps out of vinegar bottles, or performing slow-motion kung fu punches with a jug.

My inability to keep the winged hoodlums at bay has alienated me from my so-called friends, but on the plus side, it has also equipped me to play The Mosquito Gang, an asymmetrical multiplayer affair in which one, regular-sized human player attempts to carry out various domestic tasks while four, tiny mosquito players attempt to suck their blood.

Dwarf Fortress co-creator and programmer Tarn Adams has made fleeting, whimsical allusion to the possibility of an Elf Fortress game in a new interview - a fleeting, whimsical allusion I will now pounce on and make an enormous deal of, because my goodness, man, you can't just say "Elf Fortress" and walk off whistling into the sunset.

The topic arose during a discussion of why fantasy dwarves are a "fortuitous" archetype for a maddeningly system-driven game like Dwarf Fortress, in which half the fun is enjoying the tunnel vision of characters who will cheerfully neglect their responsibilities and doom their brethren because, for example, they're obsessed with crafting a mug that menaces with spikes of bituminous coal and alpaca wool. According to Adams, this is relatably "human", though he muddies things intriguingly by dropping a reference to androids, and allows players to weave stories around technical eccentricities and outright bugs, which can be read as instances of "dwarfy" fixation and excess. Elves? They don't work the same way.

Chainsaw Man: The Movie Heads to US Theaters in English in 2025

The official English social media account for the Chainsaw Man series announced that the The Movie: Reze Arc will release outside Japan in US theaters on October 29, 2025. It is part of the Sony and Crunchyroll CinemaCon 2025 announcements. This is just over a month after its Japanese debut on September 19, 2025

The official reveal included one of the piece of Japanese art shared for the new film. While the full name of the film is Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc, it is actually an adaptation of the Bomb Girl arc of the Public Safety Saga portion of the manga. This is the fifth part of that story and comes right after the halfway point of the series. As the name suggests, a newly introduced character named Reze is one of the most central characters in it. However, the latest key art only shows Denji as Chainsaw Man.

Here's the latest image:

Sony's announcement didn't note when people can start reserving theater tickets in the US for the English release of Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc. We also don't know if there will be a dubbed version available, or if it will only be shown with Japanese voice acting and English subtitles.

The first season of Chainsaw Man is streaming on Crunchyroll now. As for the manga, it's currently in the Academy part of the story, and the Aging Devil arc recently finished. Viz Media handles its release outside of Japan, and volume 18 is due to debut on May 6, 2025. 

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc will debut in Japan on September 19, 2025, and it will appear in US theaters in English on October 29, 2025. 

The post Chainsaw Man: The Movie Heads to US Theaters in English in 2025 appeared first on Siliconera.

The Second Sea brought a slew of new content for Fisch, but the jury is still out on whether it was the right choice. Arguably, the Second Sea currently feels more like starting Fisch as a level 1 player (but a different location), than an update. Since the Second Sea seems like it wants to replace the First Sea, we figured it was only fair we make a new Rod Tier List for it. Here is the Fisch Second Sea Rod Tier List.

Fisch 2nd Sea Rod Tier List

A Fisch player has arrived in the Second Sea
Screenshot by Destructoid

In case you don't already know, all First Sea rods are nerfed in the Second Sea. Almost all of them have a Lure Speed of 0%, and all of them have their Stats reduced by 50%. Now, are you ready for the weirdest part? First Sea rods are still the best rods you can use in the Second Sea, despite the nerf. It should also be noted that enchantments and passive abilities (like mutations) aren't affected by the nerf. So expect to see a lot of First Sea Rods in this Tier list.

With that said, definitely check back frequently because as better Second Sea Rods get added, they will undoubtedly replace many of the rods here. Without further ado, here it is:

Note: Our Fisch Rod Tier List - Best Rods to Use is still relevant for the First Sea, so if you're still working your way to the Second Sea, check it out.

Best XP Farming Rods in the Second Sea

All the Rods below are expected to have the Clever enchant for a x2.25 XP boost.

Tier Rod Name Info
S Picture of a Seraphic rod from Fisch
Seraphic Rod
Still the best rod for XP farming. The passive ability automatically fills about half your progress and the high stats make catching fish super fast.
S An image of the Challenger's Rod from Fisch
Challenger's Rod
The passive gives you a +20% progress speed (same as the Steady enchant), and gives you really good status. Because it already has the extra progress speed, this is a great rod grinding XP.
A Tempest Rod image from Roblox Fisch
Tempest Rod
The passive gives you a +15% progress speed , and gives you really good status. Cheaper than the Challenger's Rod, and the progress speed increase is still very good.
A No-Life rod in the Fisch Roblox experience
No-Life Rod
Great stats, has a small stab passive when reeling fish (similar to the Tempest Rod).
B Image of the Rod of the Forgotten Fang from Fisch
Rod Of The Forgotten Fang
Has really good stats, and causes every third perfect catch (doesn't need to be in a row) to spawn a Megalodon version of the next fish caught (which yields more money and more XP)

Best Money Farming Rods in the Second Sea

A Tier list of the best money farming rods in the Second Sea

Unlike XP Rods, Money Farming rods all need a different enchant and bait to make money farming as efficient as possible.

Tier Rod Name Info Best Enchant and Bait
S An image of the Ethereal Prism Rod from Fisch
Ethereal Prism Rod
Even with a status nerf, the Ethereal Prism Rod's passive makes money-making easy. The passive gives you a 50% chance to catch Primsize fish, which are sold for 8x their value. Blessed Song (or Steady) and Insect
S Image of a Zeus Rod from Fisch
Zeus Rod
This rod can spawn an Electric puddle. Almost all the fish caught in this puddle will have the Electric Shock mutation, which increases their sell value by x 3.5. The stats aren't amazing but this passive is. Blessed Song (or Steady) and Seaweed
A Picture of a Seraphic rod from Fisch
Seraphic Rod
Even though it doesn't have a great money making mutation, you can still catch fish really fast with this rod, and since time is money, you'll simply make more money in less time. Quantum and Insect
A An image of a Auric Rod from Fisch Roblox
Auric Rod
The stats aren't great but all fish caught with this rod have a chance to get a mutation which increases their value from x2 to x6. Hasty and Seaweed
B Image of the Rod of the Forgotten Fang from Fisch
Rod Of The Forgotten Fang
The passive, which triggers after 3 perfect catches (not consecutive), is what makes this rod really good for money making. Quantum and Seaweed

That's all there is to it. Again, as more updates keep rolling out, many of these will get replaced by actual Second Sea Rods. Until then, have fun catching fish and check out our Fisch codes for some cool freebies.

Zuko kicking with fire using Scorpion's Kombat Kit in Fortnite.

There are plenty of unique tools you can find and use around the island in Fortnite Chapter Six, season two. One of them is Scorpion's Kombat Kit, a fiery pair of melee gloves guaranteed to help you deal deadly damage.

Scorpion's Kombat Kit is a very powerful weapon to have at your disposal, so mastering its abilities and learning where it can be found around the vast island is crucial. Here's how to get and use Scorpion's Kombat Kit in Fortnite.

Where to find Scorpion's Kombat Kit in Fortnite

Screenshot by Destructoid

The regular version of Scorpion's Kombat Kit can be randomly found as loot all across the island. There's also a Mythic version of it which is excuviely obtained by taking down Scorpion himself.

If you're on the hunt for the standard version of Scorpion's Kombat Kit, do your best to open as many chests as you can and always stop to check for floor loot. It can appear anywhere in the world, so there's a chance you'll find it no matter where you are.

The Mythic variant of Scorpion's Kombat Kit is a lot tougher to acquire since there's only one version of it. You can earn this version by eliminating Scorpion, a boss who spawns at a few different spots around the island, including The Pit, The Living Forest, and The Dead Pool. His Medallion marker is always displayed on the map before he's been defeated, so you can use it to track down his precise location.

How to use Scorpion's Kombat Kit in Fortnite

Scorpion's Kombat Kit has two unique abilities you can use in Fortnite:

  • Attack: This is the primary function of this weapon, and it allows you to shoot rapid-fire projectiles, breathe fire, and deal deadly fiery strikes against your enemies.
  • Throw spear: The secondary ability of this weapon allows you to shoot out a chain with a spear attached to the end of it to grab enemies and pull them closer to you so you can then use your regular attack to eliminate them.

Both moves are focused on melee combat, so you need to be fairly close to an enemy to use this tool. The spear-throwing move can help with this since it allows you to pull in opponents from a decent distance away, so it's best to start by dragging your enemy closer with this ability.

Once you have them closer, you can then use the regular attack function to swiftly take them out. If they try to get away at any point, be sure to use the spear-throwing ability to reel them right back in. Anytime an enemy does get out of range, it's best to switch to a gun since you won't be able to deal damage from afar using Scorpion's Kombat Kit.

If you're not sure what to do next on the island after acquiring this special item, consider working on the April Fools' 2025 quests, tackling the someone is planning a joyride task, or tracking down the secret Sabrina Carpenter Easter egg.

how-to-win-dig-the-backyard

Even though its theme doesn't sound too interesting, Dig The Backyard has taken Roblox by storm. Based on the hit game A Game About Digging A Hole, it's exactly what to expect - a game about digging a hole. However, there are way more interesting things you'll encounter in your digging adventure. Here's a guide on how to get your first win in Dig The Backyard.

First Win In Dig The Backyard Guide

how-to-win-dig-the-backyard-shovel
Screenshot by Destructoid.

As you probably expect, the gameplay is pretty straightforward - dig a hole in your backyard until you reach the hidden treasure. Collect ores, fight enemies and find your way through the different layers of the earth to get your win. Once you win, you get back to square one and do it all again.

Unlike A Game About Digging A Hole, this game has checkpoints at various depths to ease your gameplay. No need to worry about being unable to reach the surface, since bonfires at the checkpoints can teleport you to the top. However, you need to look out for zombies. They have a spawner at every checkpoint which you need to destroy, and you can also sell the zombies' bodies for cash.

It's as simple as that. Dig ores, sell them, upgrade yourself. An average time to reach the treasure is around 45 minutes, but below you'll find some tips and tricks to shorten that time.

Ability and Equipment Upgrades

how-to-win-dig-the-backyard-upgrades
Screenshot by Destructoid.

There are four things you can upgrade:

  • Shovel: get stronger digging tools with bigger radiuses
  • Inventory: increase the number of items that fit in your backpack
  • Energy: improve your stamina while digging
  • Jetpack: efficiently fly out of deep holes back to the surface

All four of these stats can be upgraded several times. You don't need all of them maxed out to win, but it makes the gameplay a bit easier. If you're thinking about spending Robux on a better shovel, feel free to do so, but don't expect too much. From our experience, the Robux shovels and drills aren't much more efficient compared to the regular one.

Our best bet is to level up the stats one by one until they all reach the same level. Probably the most efficient leveling up order would be shovel - energy - jetpack - inventory.

All the Ores And Collectibles in Dig The Backyard

how-to-win-dig-the-backyard-ores
Screenshot by Destructoid.

The first ore you get is stone, which is the least valuable. Make your way through the ground's layers until you reach diamonds, the most valuable ore. Of course, you can't rely solely on either of these, because diamonds are rare and stones are cheap. However, it's not good to ignore the less expensive ores, since they do contribute to your getting the upgrades faster. Our recommendation is to collect all the ores, since you can make a profit with all of them, but ultimately it's up to you to define your play style. A good tip is to dig up the very top layer of your entire backyard, because there you can find plenty of stone to sell quickly.

As for collectibles, the only thing you can do with them is use them up when necessary. Once again, unlike the game it's based on, Dig The Backyard is forgiving when players make mistakes, so it won't punish you with dying if you run out of energy. The only thing that essentially changes is that you can't dig anymore, your screen becomes black and white, and your character starts panting. Even though it's not game over, it is a nuisance, and that's why it's nice to have an apple or chocolate bar on you at all times. Keep in mind that you can only get these items in the caves at the checkpoints or with Robux, meaning they can't be purchased for cash.

Best Way To An Easy Win

how-to-win-dig-the-backyard-treasure
Screenshot by Destructoid.

Remember how the first rule of Minecraft is don't dig down? Well, forget it, since that's exactly what you need to do in Dig The Backyard. Digging straight down saves you energy and helps you progress quicker. There's also no need to strip mine or specifically look for ores, since you'll be getting them wherever you dig.

The secret to an easy win is to gather every collectable item you find and sell them, so you can afford the upgrades as quickly as possible. Every checkpoint you get to has an entire cave system with ores and goodies, so be sure to thoroughly search all its rooms. Also make sure to destroy the zombie spawns, as each one of them can sell for 100 cash.

With this guide, you'll reach the treasure in Dig The Backyard in no time! Looking for some similar games? Check out our Roblox tag here on Destructoid.

Three skins on the Fortnite OG Season 3 battle pass.

Fortnite has a bunch of quests available as part of the April Fools' 2025 event, and you can complete them quite easily with the help of this guide.

The quest descriptions almost make them look and sound fake, but they're actual missions in the game. There are several quests to complete, and they reward you with seasonal XP. Additionally, you'll find bonus goals to complete that are associated with the main April Fools' 2025 quests.

All Fortnite April Fools' 2025 quests and how to complete them

There are multiple quests to complete, and the below table has all the necessary information. Some of them can be completed quite easily, while others will take a bit more time.

April Fool's quest in Fortnite

Task How to Complete
Place anything but first Get eliminated from a battle royale
Break open chests instead of searching them Use your pickaxe to break open the chests
Touch grass Spend at least 60 seconds in the game while touching the grass
Drive safely on the road for 100 meters Drive on the road for 100 meters
Land over here and over there Drive on the road for 100 meters
Find the coolest player on the island Look into a mirror to observe your reflection

  • Complete one April Fool's quest: 10,000 XP
  • Complete three April Fool's quests: 10,000 XP
  • Complete five April Fool's quests: 10,000 XP

The only downside of this quest is the duration, as the missions will be available till 4 am PT/7 am ET/12 am BST on April 2. If you're looking to complete the quests, better get started in Fortnite.

Barbershop in Schedule 1

There are different ways to customize your looks in Schedule 1, and getting a haircut will change your appearance.

While you spend most of your time trying to create and expand your drug business, there are a handful of side activities to do for fun. If you're unhappy with your looks, there are different ways to change your appearance. This guide will help you to change your haircut inside the game.

How to change your hairstyle in Schedule 1

You can find the Barbershop on the map (image posted below), and you can change your hairstyle with the help of a haircut. You can also change the color of your hair. To reach the Barbershop, take the road from the front of Taco Ticklers.

Barbershop location in Schedule 1
Screenshot by Destructoid

Turn right, and go straight to find the Barbershop on the right side of the road. It's located right beside the Laundromat, which allows you to launder money and bypass the weekly ATM limit. The Barbershop is open between 6 am and 6 pm, so you'll have to avoid the evening and night if you're passionate about changing your hairstyle.

All hairstyles are available for $30, but changing your hair color is free. You can change the color as many times as you want.

Haircut styles in Schedule 1
Screenshot via Destructoid

All hairstyles in Schedule 1

You can choose from over a dozen different options to apply to your head. Each style is going to cost you $30, so it's certainly not very expensive.

  • Afro
  • Balding
  • Bowl Cut
  • Bun
  • Buzz Cut
  • Double top knot
  • The Franklin
  • Fringe ponytail
  • High bun
  • Long curly
  • Low bun
  • Messy bob
  • Mid fringe
  • Monk
  • Mohawk
  • Peaked
  • Receding
  • Shoulder length
  • Side part bob
  • Spiky

When it comes to hair color, you can choose from a wide range of options. You can mix and match between different colors as you want. Once again, only changing the color isn't going to cost you anything, unlike getting the haircut.

Genshin Impact 5.6 Ifa drip marketing

Genshin Impact has finally confirmed that Ifa will be released in the upcoming version 5.6 update. Here's all we know about the renowned Saurian vet from Natlan.

Ifa will be released in Genshin Impact 5.6

The latest drip marketing on the game's official X account has confirmed that Ifa will be released as a playable character in version 5.6. The Saurian vet made his first in-game appearance in the Tournament of Glory in Bloom event in version 5.5, which also confirmed that Ifa has an Anemo Vision.

Furthermore, Ifa's drip marketing post shared the following details about him:

  • Title: In the Wake of Wandering Winds
  • Tlalocan Vet
  • Vision: Anemo
  • Constellation: Catena Opele

The recent beta leaks via Hakush.in suggests that Ifa is likely to be a 4-star character who uses a Catalyst. Furthermore, he is expected to be a support unit that can buff the party's Swirl and Electro-charged DMG and apply crowd control on enemies. Not only that, but one of Ifa's passive talents heals the party members and the indwelled Saurian when in Natlan.

https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1907010058807812133

More on Ifa

Ifa always makes a dramatic entrance, which usually results in people believing he is a reinforcement from the Flower-Feather Clan. However, the badge on his chest and his medical kit give away his identity as a doctor. Ifa's figure has become familiar, and everyone he runs into waves and says hello.

Ifa expected release date

Since Ifa is rumored to be a 4-star unit, it is difficult to predict whether he will be in the first phase or second. Therefore, depending on the update phase, you can expect Ifa to be released on one of the following dates:

  • Phase 1: May 7, 2025
  • Phase 2: May 27, 2025

The banner order will be announced during the Genshin Impact 5.6 Special Program, which will be live-streamed on April 25, 2025.

A spell-crafting scene in Schedule 1

South of Midnight could be the first big launch in April, and we have more information about the launch timings.

The upcoming launch will have a separate early access available as part of the Premium Edition. A valid Xbox Game Pass subscription also entitles you to day-one access on April 8. Let's take a look at the release timings for the upcoming Xbox exclusive valid for different parts of the world.

South of Midnight early access release timings

If you choose to get the Premium Edition, there are up to five days of early access available for users. While a lot of games typically follow regional launches, South of Midnight will be targeting a simultaneous launch across all parts of the world.

Region Time Zone Launch time
Seattle PDT 9:00 AM
Mexico City CST 10:00 AM
Sao Paulo BRT 1:00 PM
New York EDT 12:00 PM
London BST 5:00 PM
Paris CEST 6:00 PM
Berlin CEST 6:00 PM
Seoul KST 1:00 AM (April 4)
Tokyo JST 1:00 AM (April 4)
Sydney AEDT 3:00 AM (April 4)
Auckland NZDT 5:00 AM (April 4)

This launch schedule is going to be consistent for both console and PC users, and it also means that there's no New Zealand method to exploit. The New Zealand method is a staple for many Xbox console users to switch the region of their systems and play early. This method works if a game is following a regional launch schedule.

https://twitter.com/klobrille/status/1906959440370078078

South of Midnight Standard Edition release timings

Compulsion Games is yet to reveal the schedule for the Standard Edition, but it's expected to be along the lines of the early access. The only difference will be the release date, as the global launch will take place on April 8.

Region Time Zone Launch time
Seattle PDT 9:00 AM
Mexico City CST 10:00 AM
Sao Paulo BRT 1:00 PM
New York EDT 12:00 PM
London BST 5:00 PM
Paris CEST 6:00 PM

a splash screen of the Shining Revelry set in Pokemon TCG Pocket

The meta in Pokemon TCG Pocket is ever-changing, and if you're planning on staying on top of the ranked mode leaderboards, you'll need to know the current best decks. That's where we come in. Here are the best decks to play in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Best decks for ranked mode in Pokemon TCG Pocket

S-Tier

17T Giratina

Card Amount Set
Giratina Ex 2 Shining Revelry
Mewtwo Ex 1 Genetic Apex (Mewtwo)
Cyrus 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Blue 1 Mythical Island
Red 2 Shining Revelry
Leaf 2 Mythical Island
Dawn 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Sabrina 2 Genetic Apex (Charizard)
Professor's Research 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Poke Ball 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Giant Cape 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Rocky Helmet 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)

Talk about a deck that just goes all-in on a single play. Aside from two copies of Giratina Ex and one copy of Mewtwo Ex, every other card on this list is a Supporter, Tool, or Item.

The idea here is to set up Mewtwo Ex in your Active spot to start dealing 50 damage every turn. It's easy to set up, and once you get Giratina Ex online, you can generate Energy even faster and have Mewtwo Ex spam Psydrive with no interruptions. This is superior to the Gardevoir line from the Genetic Apex days because Giratina Ex, paired with Dawn, is far more consistent.

Once both Dawns have been used up, you can also pivot over to Giratina Ex to deal 130 damage each turn with Chaotic Impact. The main selling point of this deck is that it's easy to set up and hits hard and fast. Red also plays a huge part in what makes this deck so powerful. Considering that the meta is largely made up of Ex Pokemon right now, being able to deal 20 extra damage is a huge advantage that can't be understated.

Giratina Ex/Darkrai Ex

Card Amount Set
Giratina Ex 2 Shining Revelry
Darkrai Ex 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Druddigon 2 Mythical Island
Red 2 Shining Revelry
Cyrus 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Leaf 2 Mythical Island
Sabrina 1 Genetic Apex (Charizard)
Pokemon Center Lady 1 Shining Revelry
Professor's Research 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Poke Ball 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Giant Cape 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Rocky Helmet 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)

Alternatively, you might also want to consider the Druddigon variant, where you'll stall for time while building up Giratina Ex on your Bench. Druddigon has been a real force to reckon with since it got released with Mythical Island, and it serves as a great staller that also deals damage without any Energy commitment on your part. Pair it up with Rocky Helmet, and you'll be dealing 40 damage passively if your opponent chooses to attack.

While building up Giratina Ex, you can also use Darkrai Ex to deal 20 damage with no repercussions. Once Giratina Ex is ready, use Leaf to get Druddigon out of the Active spot, and start spamming Chaotic Impact.

A-Tier

Arceus Ex/Dialga Ex

Card Amount Set
Arceus Ex 2 Triumphant Light
Dialga Ex 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Mew Ex 1 Mythical Island
Shaymin 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Red 1 Shining Revelry
Cyrus 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Leaf 2 Mythical Island
Professor's Research 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Poke Ball 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Rocky Helmet 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Giant Cape 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Pokemon Center Lady 1 Shining Revelry
Potion 2 Promo-A (Shop)

The Arceus Ex/Dialga Ex combo was a menace when Triumphant Light first dropped in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and while it may have been taken over by Giratina Ex, it still performs respectably.

Mew Ex serves as a defensive wall while you wait for your draws and/or build up Arceus Ex on your Bench. Your ideal starter is, of course, Dialga Ex, which can generate two Energy for your Bench every turn, allowing you to ramp up quickly. I've also included Shaymin, the Potions, and the Pokemon Center Lady for extra healing in case you need more time to stall.

By the time you have either Arceus or Dialga Ex built up, you should be able to consistently deal out at least 100 damage each turn. If you were lucky enough to have Dialga Ex on turn one, your opponent likely wouldn't be able to keep up with your damage output.

B-Tier

Rampcario

Card Amount Set
Skull Fossil 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Cranidos 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Rampardos 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Riolu 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Lucario 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Sudowoodo 1 Triumphant Light
Marshadow 1 Mythical Island
Sabrina 1 Genetic Apex (Charizard)
Cyrus 1 Space-Time Smackdown (Palkia)
Pokemon Communication 2 Space-Time Smackdown (Dialga)
Professor's Research 2 Promo-A (Shop)
Poke Ball 2 Promo-A (Shop)

The Rampardos/Lucario combination saw a lot of success during the Triumphant Light days, as it served as a strong direct counter to Arceus Ex. These days, it's fallen a bit to the wayside as Arceus Ex isn't quite as prevalent, but it's still a solid deck to play.

Lucario is mainly there to boost your Fighting damage, and most of your damage output will come from Cranidos and Rampardos. The trick, of course, is actually drawing your Skull Fossils so you can evolve into your Stage 1 and 2 Pokemon, and that's where Pokemon Communication comes in. You'll use it to draw your Skull Fossils or evolution lines and have Sudowoodo or Lucario stall for time.

Once you get even one Lucario going, though, this deck can be a nightmare to play against. Rampardos can hit for 150 damage for just one Energy, allowing it to knock out a lot of Ex Pokemon in the current meta-game. The big advantage of this list is that you don't run any Ex Pokemon yourself, forcing your opponent to claim three of your pokemon in order to close out the match.

a screenshot of a zoi looking at the first aid kit in inzoi

inZOI is a life simulation game, which means that your Zois will inevitably run into the same sorts of hiccups and general life problems that humans do as well, like getting sick. If your Zoi is coughing non-stop in inZOI, here's how you can deal with it.

Why is your Zoi coughing in inZOI?

If you find that your Zoi keeps breaking into coughing fits in inZOI, that's a surefire sign that they've caught a cold and fallen ill. There are a few causes for sickness in the game, as listed below:

  • Being out in the rain without a raincoat
  • Being underdressed for cold weather
  • Not getting enough sleep

Even if you've been taking good care of your Zoi's health, there's always a small chance of falling ill anyway. It's unavoidable. The good news is that there's an easy fix for this.

How to cure Zoi coughing with a first-aid kit

screenshot of the first aid kit in inzoi

If your Zoi is having coughing fits, you can cure their cold with a first-aid kit. First-aid kits can be purchased for 100 Meow Coins, and you can find them by going into Build Mode at home, choosing the Hobbies tab under Furniture, and clicking on the Props section. You can also just type "first-aid kit" into the search bar if you're having trouble finding it.

Put the first-aid kit anywhere in your home, then have your Zoi interact with it. If they're sick, they'll give themselves the necessary treatment from the kit, and they'll get better in no time at all.

Alternatively, if you don't have the money to buy it, you can also use a first-aid kit in certain public places. Most workplaces should have them, and when your Zoi goes to work, keep an eye out for first-aid kits on the counter or near the pantry.

How to prevent Zois from falling sick

As I mentioned earlier, falling sick is unavoidable, but you can reduce your chances of getting ill by taking good care of your Zois. The most important thing is to make sure your Zois are always dressed appropriately for the weather.

When it's raining, click on your Zoi and have them put on a raincoat if you plan to go out. And when the seasons change and it gets colder, make sure to dress them up in appropriate clothing, such as a jacket or a coat. You can do this by clicking on your Zoi and having them change into their cold-weather wear. If you don't take care of your Zoi's health, it's possible for them to die of sickness and bring down your city's karma, so be mindful of that.

Unlike in The Sims, inZOI lets you manually do all of the tedious tasks your boss throws at you while you're at work. Is that fun? Not particularly. But is it immersive? Absolutely. Here's how to restock shelves in inZOI.

How to restock shelves in inZOI

a screenshot of a zoi trying to restock shelves in inzoi

If you're working at the surf shop in Bliss Bay or the convenience store in Dowon, one of your work tasks will require you to restock the shelves once they've been emptied. To do this, all you have to do is click on the shelf, choose the option to restock it, and your Zoi will do their job.

That's pretty much it! However, it's worth pointing out that there's a bug associated with this particular task, and the restock option may not necessarily pop up for you when you need it.

What to do if you can't restock a shelf

The bug typically kicks in on your first day of work. During your first day, if you find that you're unable to restock a shelf, there's nothing you can do. You'll just need to leave that task unfinished. The good news is that even if you don't complete a task, you don't get penalized at work. Your career progression might be a bit slower, but that's about it.

When you come back to work on the second day, you should be able to restock shelves as per normal. It's a strange bug, but you just need to make it through the first day and everything should work fine after that.

It's also possible that your Zoi might do it automatically once a customer clears a shelf on their own. This takes a bit of luck and is reliant on RNG of course, but if a customer comes in and grabs something off a shelf, there's a good chance that your Zoi will walk over and restock it automatically if they're not occupied with other tasks. After doing it automatically, you should be able to restock it whenever you want.

It's definitely annoying having to work around the bug like this, but at least there aren't any lasting consequences for not being able to complete the task, and you'll still have other tasks to do in the meantime.

And that's everything you need to know about restocking the shelves in inZOI. Be sure to search up Destructoid for more tips and information on the game, including our guide on crime, as well as how to fulfil your Zoi's urges.

Getting a job and leading life as an upstanding citizen is all well and good, but it can be a bit boring, can't it? Totally. Here's how to commit crimes in inZOI instead.

How to Be a Criminal in inZOI

If you're just starting out in inZOI, the game actually gives you a bit of guidance on how to cause social unrest and be a menace to society. Click on your Zoi Card in the bottom left corner of the screen or press the O key to bring it up, then click on Ambitions.

From here, scroll all the way down to the Social Disorder category, and set this as your new Ambition. Your Zoi will now be fulfilled by committing crimes and just being a generally unpleasant person to other Zois. There are two main categories for Social Disorder, and I'll go over how to complete the objectives for both of them in more detail below.

Notorious Villain

The objectives for Notorious Villain are as follows:

Level Task
1 Take out anger on a vending machine 5 times.
Secretly drop something on floor 3 times.
2 Knock down 3 times.
Start a fight 5 times.
3 Claim to have valuable info and ask for investment 5 times.
Get arrested by the police and detained in prison 5 times.

The first level is pretty easy. All you need to do is go out into a public place, click on your Zoi, and choose the Personal Actions category. From here, you can choose to secretly drop something on the floor.

Vending machines can also be found all over the open-world, so just interact with any of them and choose the Vent Frustration option.

The second level of tasks requires you to interact with another Zoi. To complete these objectives, greet a Zoi, then choose the Conflict option from the interactions menu. From here, you can choose to knock them down or start a fight. You'll also find the investment scam option from this menu, allowing you to clear the level 2 tasks and the first level 3 task in one fell swoop.

As you're doing these things, eventually the police will come after you and throw you in jail. Your Zoi will be released from prison after a set amount of time, so you can repeat the process until you've completed all objectives and earn the Notorious Villain title.

Famous Hacker

The second category for Social Disorder is called Famous Hacker, and here are the tasks:

Level Task
1 Achieve Programming level 3.
Commit a secondhand sale scam 5 times.
2 Achieve Programming level 6.
Hack an ATM 10 times.
3 Achieve Programming level 10.
Hack into a brank 3 times.

If you've always wanted to live out your dreams of being a hacker extraordinaire, this category is for you. You can do these tasks from your own home, but it's a lot more time-consuming because of how long it takes to level up the Programming skill.

Interact with any computer and choose the Programming option, and this will allow your Zoi to increase their Programming skill over time. As you reach levels 3, 6, and 10, you'll then unlock the option to pull off scams and hacks from the computer as well.

Should You Choose Notorious Villain or Famous Hacker?

It's worth pointing out that you're not locked into one Ambition over another in inZOI. You can pursue them both eventually, but if you're wondering which one you should start with, I'd definitely recommend going for Famous Hacker.

Leveling up Programming is very useful as it allows you to make money on the side, and the crimes associated with Famous Hacker are also far more lucrative.

Of course, if you're just here for the character drama and you don't mind making less money in favor of just being a complete menace in the streets, then go for Notorious Villain instead.

How to Get Out of Jail

a screenshot of a zoi in jail in inzoi

Committing crimes means getting unwanted attention from the police, which means getting thrown into jail. While in jail, you can only sleep, eat, and go to the bathroom. There's not much else to do aside from that.

At 7am, you'll be informed that your Zoi will be released from prison at 9am that day. When 9am comes around, simply click on your Zoi and choose to leave the prison. You can remain for as long as you'd like, but you don't get anything out of staying in jail.

And that's everything you need to know about committing crimes in inZOI.
