Beating the Monster Arena in Dragon Quest 8 can be tough. There are proper team comps you need to know to really stand a chance to beat every rank. This is a short Guide to show you what team comps work best in the Monster Arena.

First of all, here is a map of all Monsters you can capture in the game:

As you can see already on the map, is that some monsters only spawn if you defeat a certain rank. Some others only appear at day while others appear at night. Consult this map to see where to find the specific monsters.

Team: Hackzilla, Brickman, Potbelly

Explanation: In the early ranks you don't really need a team with a deathmove. Hackzilla will do most of the job as the monster is very tanky with low-level characters and has good damage output. Brickman is a good monster as well in the early game. Potbelly is also hard hitting and can be found early-mid game. Consult the map to find the monsters!

Explanation: These ranks become a bit more difficult since the monster rise in strength. There is nothing to worry about here though, since the ranks are still somewhat lightweight compared to Rank B and above. You can still manage to keep Hackzilla and Brickman but I would suggest to swap Potbelly with Talos. Talos is a very hard hitting Monster, is even more tanky than Hackzilla and it can attack twice per round.

Explanation: Now we have an interesting team. Octurion is a must octopus that knows&nbsp;Omniheal, which is very important from Rank B and above. The damage the enemy teams deal will be too much for your team to survive all 3 rounds without regaining health, so he's a must. Skeledoid can attack twice (just like Talos) and Talos will stay in your team since his base stats are very high. If you're lucky you can get by with this comp without relying on deathmove teams, because Talos can soak the damage while Octurion heals the entire team.

And there you have it! These monster should get you by and win the Monster Arena. Have fun!

Baizhi is a free 4-star Glacio Rectifier-wielding Resonator in Wuthering Waves. Baizhi can heal your team both on and off the field. Her kit allows a team member who picks Euphonia to increase their ATK by 15% while she provides the whole team with a 15% All-Type DMG% increase. She is, therefore, perfect in any team comp you choose to play. Her heals are highly appreciated in the early game as they will allow you to explore faster without being in need to craft consumables. At RC6, she is great for mono-Glacio teams.

Don't want to read the guide? Here is a quick overview of everything you need to know:

The build is probably outdated. Take everything with a grain of salt!

Outdated

You Echoes options are primarily HP%.&nbsp;One of these patterns go a long way:

HP% -&gt; Energy Regen -&gt; Energy Regen -&gt; HP%% -&gt; HP%

HP% -&gt; HP% -&gt; Energy Regen -&gt; Energy Regen -&gt; HP%

HP% -&gt; Energy Regen -&gt; Energy Regen -&gt; HP% -&gt; HP%

Of course, sub-stats matter aswell. You have to look out for HP% Sub-stats first in the echoes before anything else. That's what Baizhi scales best with.

You have different options for the weapon:

You can go for <a href="https://wuthering.gg/weapons/comet-flare">Comet Flare</a> which gives you both ATK and HP%. That's balanced weapon for her stats.

<a target="_blank" href="https://wuthering.gg/weapons/cosmic-ripples" rel="nofollow">Cosmic Ripples</a>&nbsp;is also an option but focuses more on the dmg side of things.

If you like to go more into Energy Regen, then <a href="https://wuthering.gg/weapons/variation">Variation</a> is your weapon of choice.

Baizhi Guide

Encore is a 5-star Fusion Rectifier wielding Resonator in Wuthering Waves. Encore excels as a sub-DPS and provides substantial damage while off-field. Her kit involves her Resonance Skill and Forte Ability. Her animations are long, so animation cancel are your bread and butter and needed for her playstyle. She highly appreciates Verinas supporting and buffing capabilities and has great synergy with Sanhua. Early on, you can replace Verina with Baizhi.

You Echoes options are primarily crit chance. One of these patterns go a long way:

Crit Rate -&gt; Fusion DMG% -&gt; Fusion DMG% -&gt; ATK% -&gt; ATK%

ATK% -&gt; Crit Rate -&gt; Fusion DMG% -&gt; Fusion DMG% -&gt; ATK%

Of course, sub-stats matter aswell. You have to look out for Crit% Sub-stats first in the echoes before anything else. That's what Encore scales best with.

The weapons are straightforward: Go with something that slaps Crit Rate.

For instance, <a href="https://wuthering.gg/weapons/stringmaster">Stringmaster</a>&nbsp;has everything you need: ATK and Crit Rate.

<a href="https://wuthering.gg/weapons/cosmic-ripples">Cosmic Ripples</a> and <a href="https://wuthering.gg/weapons/augment">Augment</a>&nbsp;are also an option, but if you can go with Stringmaster. That's the best weapon!

Aalto is a Resonator that tries something from everything but doesn't excel at any of them. Can taunt or make decoys, support other Aero's and buff gunners with his ult.

For the Weapons we recommend these 3:&nbsp;<a href="https://wutheringwaves.gg/weapons/static-mist">Static Mist</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://wutheringwaves.gg/weapons/novaburst">Novaburst</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://wutheringwaves.gg/weapons/cadenza">Cadenza</a>.

Priority Wise you should aim for Static Mist because Stat wise it's the better weapon of the two (Legendary).

Build from <a href="https://wutheringwaves.gg/aalto-build-guide/">here</a>. Items/Skills could be changed already due to new patches.

Jinhsi is a 5-star Spectro Broadblade-wielding Resonator in Wuthering Waves. She excels as your main source of DPS. In order to build her forte gauge though, she would like to have units like Mortefi or Yinlin in her part.

For Weapons we recommend having Ages of Harvest, Lustrous Razor/Verdant Summit or Helios Cleaver.&nbsp;

Thanks to&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/AlexNoelaGaming">Alex &amp; Noela Gaming</a>&nbsp;for providing the infographic!

Looking for a small overview on how to play Yinlin? Don't worry!&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/AlexNoelaGaming">Alex &amp; Noela Gaming</a>&nbsp;made an small infographic guide just for that:

She's pretty easy to pick up by beginner and scales with critical rate, which makes her easy to gear up in the early game. For her Weapons we recommend getting a Stringmaster since that gives her a big boost on Critical Rate. Cosmic Ripples and Augment is also an option.

Ever felt a bit overwhelmed when starting a playthrough in Divinity: Original Sin? Don't worry, that's pretty normal. The game has over 100 hours of content you can go through and is pretty dificult to play aswell. To give you a jumpstart, we made a little list for you to ease the pain of starting in this very good game!

Steam is a very good place for this game because most other sites only make guides for the sequel of this game, Divinity: Original Sin 2. Hence you will find a good amount of guides here which you wouldn't find elsewhere.

To get started, we recommend to have a read here: <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1311458980">Beginner Guide</a>

Over 20 years old, it's one of the most respected sources for game related stuff. Even though lately it has got critisism on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamefaqs/comments/qtxscz/decided_to_leave_gamefaqs_after_nearly_20_years/">trolling mods, political talk and general bad taste with the userbase</a>, it's still considered a good source for games if you avoid the forums.

We recommend having a look at this class guide: <a href="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/170514-divinity-original-sin-enhanced-edition/faqs/72764">Character/Party Guide</a>

IGN is likewise a very respected source of game related information. Even though they focus less on having a variety of guides, they still have well written guides you can read.

We recommend having a look on this walkthrough: <a href="https://www.ign.com/wikis/divinity-original-sin/Walkthrough">Divinity: Original Sin - Walkthrough</a>

Divinity: Original Sin is a role-playing video game developed and published by Larian Studios. The fourth main entry in the Divinity game series, it is a prequel to the original game Divine Divinity, and to the other main games in the series.

Diablo 2 is one of the best creations of Blizzard Entertainment. Still played by thousands, people are actively still writing guides &amp; builds and what not. Today we would like to present you resources where you can find Builds for the game!

The first site that comes to mind and seems to be playing a big role these days is <a href="http://maxroll.gg">maxroll.gg</a>. The have their own section for Diablo 2 (just like us!) with lots of builds, tools etc. We recommend to check them out!

The next one is a old school looking fan like website for the entire Diablo Franchise. <a href="https://diablo.4fansites.de/">diablo.4fansites.de</a>&nbsp;is a german website which focuses solely on Diablo content and therefore is very vast in the amount of content it can deliver. if german isn't in your vocabulary, we still recommend having a look there with a translator because the website has alot of useful &amp; Quality information.

Probably the GOAT is you're looking for Blizzard Game content. They are around for a long time and have alot of content for WoW, Hearthstone, Diablo and more. The new design is looking more modern but we still like the old school one. Either one, <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d2/">good website</a> - good content!

Very faaar down on the list is ourself. Why so far down you may ask. Well ... we don't have any guides yet. And that hurts. We try our best to put out quality guides at some point but here we ask you (the reader) and the player (yes you with the cool build) to give our site a shot write your first guide! Always worth a shot for trying out new things ay?

In Baldurs Gate 3 you can aquire a total of 10 Companions. In this short Guide we will show you, where and how to aquire them!

You will encounter her very early in your Playthrough on the Ship. After you land, she will be held captive.

Free her and you can recruit her finally.

You can recruit her pretty easily. She is trapped with you on the Ship where you can (and should) recruit her. She has a very interesting questline later on. Free her and she will gladly join!

Karlach is a bit more complicated. You will have to right couple of lying Paladins in a house in the east to gain her trust. To find her more easily, we recommend to get Wyll, because he will lead you right to her. She is a charming, simple character and worth to fight for!

You can recruit her by choosing to side with the Goblins, when fighting for the Hain. You will be able to get her into your team after the Quest has finished. Be careful though: If you recruit her, you won't be able to recruit Halsin.

in Act 2 you will be able to recruit her once you enter the town in the Abyss. She will give you information about Ketheric Thorm and is waiting for you in the tavern.

He is a bit trickier: You will encounter a Portal very early in Act 1. His hand is sticking out of that where you can choose to either cut of his hand (which will lead to not being able to recruit him) or to help him out. If you manage to roll successfully you will drag him out of the portal and he will join your group.

If you are interested to get this psycho vampire boy, then you have to head west after you land on the Beach (Act 1) and at some point he will ambush you with a cutscene. You can headbutt him or go the peaceful route. Either way, he will join afterwards.

You first need to rescue him from the Goblin Village in Act 1. You will have to fight your way through all of them to get him out of there. Afterwards you can recruit him to your party. Be careful though: If you happen to side with the goblins to fight the Hain, you will lose him as a member of your party.

Minsc is a old-school character from BG1 and BG2. You will encounter him very late in the game: Act 3.

You will have to fight him in the catacombs of Baldurs Gate, where he is being manipulated. You can either kill him (which would mean you can't recruit him anymore) or you can damage him to be very low life, and then make him unconscious. After the fight is over, he will come to sense and wants to join your group.

Baldurs Gate 3 is the Game of the Year RPG for 2023 and considered one of the best RPG of all time.

A paladin is a warrior bold and pure, a paragon of virtue. Like the fighter, the paladin is a man of combat. However, the paladin lives for the ideals of righteousness, justice, honesty, piety and chivalry. He strives to be a living example of these virtues so that others might learn from him as well as gain by his actions. Motivated by a higher purpose the paladins of Icewind Dale do not accept monetary gain for their just deeds.

Paladins of Helm follow the teachings of the god of guardians. They are dedicated to defending the weak and protecting important places against assault.Special Order Ability: Can multiclass to fighter without losing the ability to advance in the paladin class.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Paladins of Mystra insure that the powers of the goddess of magic are not used for evil. They seek out evil spellcasters all over Faerun for protection of civilization and to protect benign wizards from the repercussions of irresponsible magic use.Special Order Ability: Can multiclass to wizard without losing the ability to advance in the paladin class.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Icewind Dale 2 Paladin Overview

Tip 1: Starter Words should contain alot of Vowels

You can greatly impact how you solve the puzzle by choosing a good starter word. Choose a word with alot of vowels or common consonants (R - S - N - H - L - D - T)

Tip 2: Your second Word should cover different Letters

It greatly helpts to get the yellow hints if you choose a word here, that will use completely different letters. That way you can cover 10 of 26 letters with just 2 guesses, e.g. atleast 1 tile will become yellow.

Example: First word -&gt; React, second word -&gt; count

This one is an obvious one if you already played couple of rounds. You should never re-use grayed out letters. You probably won't notice it if you try out a different word but think again if it's worth to try out 1-2 new letters for 3 gray letters. Try to opt for a word which has atleast 3 new letters!

Can be a bit of cheating but it greatly helps to find "inspiration" if you google a dandy list of words with only 5 letters. You can much more easily filter out words you already used instead of doing brain gymnastics. It also eases the pain away if you haven't managed to successfully get a word right after weeks of trying. We recommend to have a list at hand in the beginning to get some experience and sense of gameplay.

4 Wordle Tips and Tricks that Feel like Cheat Codes

Need general tips to get started with Final Fantasy 12? No worries. I got you fam.

You have 6 characters at your disposal. Level them all equally so you don't have problems to assign jobs later to them. Farming mid-late game is annoying because you have to back-track alot.

More like a extension to Tip 1: Balance your chars in groups so you always have the same comp. This makes it easier to play a normal run because otherwise it will be frustrating at certain points in the game. Also you don't have to adjust playstyle because the 2 groups are pretty much the same gameplay wise.

Tip 3: Don't use Licence Points right away

Try not to use your earned LP immediately. The reason is that often you get very strong weapons you can unlock with those points. Those yield far better value than just upgrading your stats. You also want to look into the second Licence Board fast because those give better value aswell.

Buy early gambits if you can. Those are very useful for heals and to cleanse yourself from debuffs. The more you support the group the more relaxed the fights become for you.

Stealing might seem a bit pointless if you can just farm gold and buy shit but trust me here: Level this skill up and enhance it with Gambits. You can steal very good stuff from enemies with this and skip the hassle of farming items/gold to get there.

In almost any Final Fantasy Game, this spell is beyond broken. It basically let's your group attack more often.&nbsp;

Attack more often = Higher DPS (Damage per Second)

It's a no brainer really. Also get other buffs like Protes and Courage. That stuff slaps!

I don't need to tell you this if you already played RPG's before. You should talk to every NPC ever if you can. You get a sidequest or two and often, they overlap. Meaning you only have to kill 10 cactus instead of 5 and then another 10 if you happen to accept the sidequest later.

Sure you can level up faster that way, but playing out the quests smart will easy of the grinding a bit.

World of Warcraft: Facts you may or may not know

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft">World of Warcraft</a> is one if the most successful MMO's ever. Stats tell us that the game has over 100 Million registered users by 2014 and depending on how you view it, is one of the longest lasting MMO's in the history of multiplayer games. Here we gonna tell you some facts that you may have not known about the Creation of the greatest MMO of all time.

Devs cited that the development has taken 4-5 years roughly. The game released in 2004 which means, that development must have began somewhere 1999. The timing was quite right because that's where the Internet Boom really began to take off, with online games coming around almost every week. The bet was right obviously since the game became very, very succesful.

Fact 2: Development took more than 60$ Million

Triple A Games these days can easily cross over 50$ Million in development costs with a certain risk attached to recoup that cost. That's why often Publishers aren't interested in risking a new IP because sometimes you can lose alot of money if the game isn't a hit. World of Warcraft certainly took that risky path over 20 years ago with a whooping 60$ Million investment in the development of the game. That was a big risk back then, because most Triple A games maybe had 4-5$ Million dev costs. WoW surpassed that big time plus the ongoing maintenance cost of the servers which some claim are over 200$ Million to this date.

It's safe to say their risk worked out big time in the end, because Blizzard (now owned by Microsoft) has made over 10$ bn in Revenue with WoW alone.

Blizzard is known to have made Quality Games back then alot. To the outside that screams of good structure and management in their Office places. However, quite the contrary was the case. Some developers reported that the office was a mess. You often find papers and other stuff spilling into the hallway from office desks and the chairs were hardly functional. Maybe that's the secret to make good games?

World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment.
