    Razer Kishi Ultra Mobile Controller Review – The Best Mobile Controller in 2024? – TouchArcade


    Back in April, the Razer Nexus (Free) app on iOS and Android was updated with support added for an unannounced “Razer Kishi Ultra” controller boasting features like analog stick deadzone customization and more. Since then, Razer has announced and released the Razer Kishi Ultra with support for more than just phones. The Razer Kishi Ultra is also the most expensive mobile controller as far as I’m aware, but it offers more features than expected for specific devices. Having used the Razer Kishi and the Backbone One including the new USB-C versions for years now, I didn’t think I needed a new controller, but the Razer Kishi Ultra changed my mind in a way the Hori Split Pad Pro did on Nintendo Switch a few years ago.

    Razer Kishi Ultra – what’s in the box

    The Razer Kishi Ultra box included the controller itself, a few sets of rubber cushions to use depending on your device, a sheet of stickers, and an instruction booklet. For the price point of $149.99, I expected to have a carrying case or at least a pouch included. Beyond that, the box and casing for the controller in the box are good quality as usual from Razer.

    The Razer Kishi Ultra rubber cushions come in pairs that are properly labeled for use with iPhone (Pair A), iPad Mini 6th generation (Pair B), and Android (Pair C). If you use a case, you don’t need to use any of these rubber cushions.

    Razer Kishi Ultra compatibility – iPhone, Cases, Android, and iPad Mini

    While most mobile controllers, especially the telescopic ones, only support iPhone and Android, the Razer Kishi Ultra also supports tablets like the iPad Mini 6th generation. We’ve also recently had some telescopic controllers ship with bluetooth support, but as for USB-C, this one seems to have some of the best compatibility. For the purpose of this review, I tested the Razer Kishi Ultra on my iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, and wired on my iPad Pro. I didn’t test on Android or Windows, but I did try it on my Steam Deck wired. It is detected as a generic Xbox gamepad, but it did work when I was playing NBA 2K25 on Steam Deck yesterday for review and it also supports decent rumble in games like Bakeru that I tested with.

    Razer Kishi Ultra buttons, d-pad, and triggers

    Before getting to the new features, how does the Razer Kishi Ultra actually feel and perform? I was a bit worried about the d-pad, but it ended up working great when I played games like Garou: Mark of the Wolves ACA NeoGeo or even newer ones like Hades and Hitman Blood Money Reprisal. Beyond the d-pad, the shoulder buttons and triggers work well just like Razer’s older controller. The analog sticks are comfortable and smooth to use with the face buttons being clicky albeit with more travel distance which I didn’t expect after the original Razer Kishi.

    Overall, I have no complaints with the Razer Kishi Ultra d-pad, buttons, or triggers after considerable use including some sessions lasting a few hours where I played Zenless Zone Zero while charging my phone through the passthrough charging here.

    In terms of feel, the textured finish isn’t rubbery, but it works well for a grip and remains very comfortable to hold even for a few hours. I don’t usually care for Chroma stuff on controllers, and just like the Razer Kitsune, I would’ve preferred if the lights could somehow match the gameplay on screen.

    Razer Kishi Ultra – new features

    The main draw of the Razer Kishi Ultra is the full-size form factor. Instead of feeling like a compact mobile controller as we’ve seen with Razer’s prior release or the Backbone One, the Razer Kishi Ultra is a full-size one that feels like you’re holding your phone in the middle of a good quality console controller. This may not be a plus for some looking for a compact solution, but it isn’t meant to be that. The full-size form factor makes this the comfiest mobile controller I’ve used by far.

    The other features are the Chroma customization through the app, haptics (for Android and Windows), and virtual controller mode (Android only). The virtual controller mode is good for Android games since we see some notable ones skip adding controller support outside iOS on mobile like Genshin Impact.

    Aside from the new features, the Razer Kishi Ultra has a 3.5mm headphone jack, passthrough charging (15W), and the L4 and R4 shoulder buttons.

    Razer Kishi Ultra features missing on iOS – haptics and virtual controller mode

    The haptics and virtual controller mode are only available on Android (or Windows as well for the former) and not available on iOS. I don’t really care about virtual controller mode, but I hope Razer can work on something to enable the haptics in some way for iOS devices as well. I love haptic feedback on PS5 and HD Rumble on Switch, so having something that tries to do similar things on iOS would be nice.

    Razer Kishi Ultra price point – is it worth it?

    I already think most folks are better off getting a PS5 or Xbox controller to play wirelessly on iOS as the best possible and cheaper option. If you do want a good controller that has a telescopic form factor and attaches onto your phone, the most popular options are already $99.99 so the Razer Kishi Ultra at $150 is definitely a more premium controller. Is it worth that much more? If you’re ok with the current Razer Kishi and Backbone One price point, this is definitely worth the extra price for the comfort, but the lack of the haptics makes it feel like a lesser experience on iOS compared to Android where you get the fully featured experience.

    It remains to be seen if the joysticks on this one don’t drift over time as well.

    Razer Kishi Ultra – the best mobile controller in 2024?

    If you’ve not read my review of Razer’s older controller, check it out here. Moving from that more compact form factor that I’ve gotten used to for years across Razer and Backbone products to this big one has been interesting. Just like the Hori Split Pad Pro for Nintendo Switch, I find myself wanting both a full-size controller and a more compact one for iPhone.

    The Razer Kishi Ultra is easily the comfiest mobile controller I’ve ever used, but I wish it was easier to travel with. I worry about how it might end up in my bag unless I carry it in the big box it ships with. I don’t know if the Razer Kishi Ultra will replace my normal Kishi or Backbone One when I travel, but I’m definitely only using it when I play at home.

    At the asking price, I was hoping for hall effect analog sticks though. I’ve had drift issues with multiple controllers over the years and while it hasn’t happened to the Razer Kishi Ultra yet (or the Razer Kishi itself), but I can’t say how things might be in a few more months. This is more of a thing to keep in mind when you buy it.

    Having now covered the Backbone One and Razer Kishi models, I definitely want to try out the GameSir lineup as they seem more than worth checking out. Hopefully in the near future.

    Razer Kishi Ultra 2 wishlist

    When thinking about what I’d like to see in an updated Razer Kishi Ultra, aside from hall effect sticks, I’d like some of the sharper edges like the passthrough charging port to be smoothed out a bit. Beyond that, while I love the L4 and R4 buttons as options, I vastly prefer having paddles on the bottom of the controller since they feel more natural to use. It would be good to have those as options given the premium price. Maybe even L5 and R5 as paddles on the bottom with remapping available in the Razer Nexus app. The final thing I want is a carrying case for this to come with the controller. When looking at the pro level controllers on console, they usually come with a nice hard case. Granted this one doesn’t cost as much as a DualSense Edge or Victrix Pro BFG, but it would be a nice addition to the package that wouldn’t cost too much.

    Razer Kishi Ultra review

    If you’re used to playing on traditional PS5 or Xbox Series controllers or basically any full-sized controller and don’t enjoy using the compact Joy-Con size buttons and sticks we usually see in mobile controllers, the Razer Kishi Ultra is perfect for you with its comfortable grip, great d-pad, and face buttons. The lack of full feature support on iOS is disappointing, but this is a great addition to the mobile controller space, and I hope Razer can build on this through the years while also offering a carrying case so I don’t have to worry about anything happening to this in my bag when I go out.

    Razer Kishi Ultra review score: 4.5/5

    The 10 Best Game Boy Advance & Nintendo DS Games on Nintendo Switch – SwitchArcade Special – TouchArcade

    The 10 Best Game Boy Advance & Nintendo DS Games on Nintendo Switch – SwitchArcade Special – TouchArcade


    In the latest look at retro game offerings on the Nintendo Switch, I’ve opted to take a different approach. You see, there aren’t quite so many distinct Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS ports on the Switch as some other consoles. I know, it surprised me too! So they’re going to be sharing a list, much like how they shared a few years on retail shelves. While you can find plenty of great games from the Game Boy Advance in the Nintendo Switch Online app, we’re instead looking at those games that dare to exist in the wilds of the Switch eShop. We’ve got ten of our favorites here, four from the Game Boy Advance and six from the Nintendo DS. No particular order, of course. On with the show!

    Game Boy Advance

    Steel Empire (2004) – Over Horizon X Steel Empire ($14.99)

    We’ll start off with a decent little shoot ’em up, Steel Empire. While the original Genesis/Mega Drive version is the better game in my opinion, this isn’t a bad take at all. Worth playing just to compare with the other version, and it’s certainly a breezier experience in some ways. Steel Empire is a pretty cool game no matter how you play it, and it’s one that even those who don’t normally get into shooters tend to enjoy.

    Mega Man Zero – Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection ($29.99)

    While the Mega Man X series started to flounder on home consoles, the true successor to the Mega Man crown was rising up on the Game Boy Advance. Mega Man Zero is the start of an excellent series of side-scrolling action games, and one that perhaps didn’t figure out how to present what it wanted to do in the smoothest way. Those rough edges would get sanded off as the series went on, but the first game is where you want to start. Feel free to continue on from there.

    Mega Man Battle Network – Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection ($59.99)

    Yes, I’m double-dipping on Mega Man here. But I think it’s warranted here, because Mega Man Zero and Mega Man Battle Network are very different kinds of games, and both are very good at what they do. This one is an RPG with a unique battle system that manages to incorporate a bit of action to go with the more strategic elements. The core concept of this whole virtual world existing inside of electronic devices is a clever one, and the game doesn’t do things halfway with it. The returns diminished harder on this series than they did with Zero, but there’s plenty of fun to be had here.

    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow – Castlevania Advance Collection ($19.99)

    Another collection where you’ll probably just want to run the whole board, but if I have to pick one best one it’s clearly Aria of Sorrow. When I’m in the right mood, I’d rather play this than even the amazing Symphony of the Night. The soul collecting system encourages grinding, and the gameplay is so fun that I don’t even mind that. Throw in an unusual setting and some fun secrets and you’ve got a real winner here. One of my favorite third-party Game Boy Advance games full-stop.

    Nintendo DS

    Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut ($9.99)

    The original Shantae was something of a cult hit, but the low distribution numbers meant that relatively few people had a chance to play it. It was with the DSiWare release of Shantae: Risky’s Revenge that the Half-Genie Hero had a chance to make a bigger splash, and she certainly did that. Indeed, this established Shantae so well that she hasn’t missed a console generation since. This game kind of sits on a fuzzy line since it was sort of built from the ashes of a Game Boy Advance game that never released. Curiously, that game will be getting a release soon and might fit this list when it does.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy ($29.99)

    Look, if you’re really bothered about the lists being imbalanced, you could (and maybe should) count this as a Game Boy Advance game. That is the console where it originated after all, it just wasn’t localized at that time. Anyway, you probably know Ace Attorney. Fun adventure games that blend on-location investigations with overly dramatic court scenes. Goofy humor, but rather good stories. This first game completely knocks it out of the park, and while I might prefer later installments I wouldn’t be able to argue against anyone who said this was the best.

    Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective ($29.99)

    From the creator of Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick is just as well-written but has its own cool gameplay hook. You’re a ghost and need to use your abilities to save people, all with an eye to figuring out the truth behind your own untimely demise. This game is a complete wild ride and I recommend everyone play it from start to finish. It was a bit slept on in its original Nintendo DS form, and I’m glad to see Capcom hasn’t given up on it. Reward them for their tenacity.

    The World Ends With You: Final Remix ($49.99)

    The World Ends With You is, quite frankly, one of the top games on the Nintendo DS. Ideally, it’s the place where you should play the game. It’s just so tightly built around that hardware and its capabilities that none of the ports have been able to get just right. Still, time marches on. The Switch version of this game will do just fine if you don’t want to dig up a working Nintendo DS, and you really should play it somewhere. Why not here? A great game in just about every possible way.

    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow – Castlevania Dominus Collection ($24.99)

    The Castlevania Dominus Collection just released not long ago, and it collects all of the Nintendo DS Castlevania games. This is another case where all of the games are worth playing, and I’m picking Dawn of Sorrow simply because having its gimmicky touch controls replaced with more fitting button controls makes for a significant improvement. But really, play all three of the Nintendo DS games in this collection. They’re all great in their own ways.

    Etrian Odyssey III HD – Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection ($79.99)

    This is another franchise that in some ways can’t exist easily outside of the DS/3DS ecosystem. But Atlus made a good attempt here, and I think the results are playable enough. Each of the Etrian Odyssey games stands alone, and they’re all pretty substantial RPGs. Etrian Odyssey III is the largest of the three, and while it’s more than a little wooly, it’s well-worth sinking your teeth into.

    And that’s the list, friends. Are there any Game Boy Advance or Nintendo DS games you enjoy on the Switch? Feel free to sound off down in the comments and let us know what you’re thinking! It’s always interesting to hear the opinions of others on this kind of thing. As always, thanks for reading!

    Check Out The Latest Events In ‘Marvel Future Fight’ & ‘Marvel Contest of Champions’ – TouchArcade


    It has been pointed out to me that perhaps I could be fairer to other Marvel games. I’m always covering Marvel Snap (Free) whenever it gets any kind of update, but the others tend to get relegated to the Best Updates articles on Mondays. That… is a valid point! And thus, let us enjoy a Marvel Minute and see how other Marvel games are faring at the moment. It turns out that both Marvel Future Fight (Free) and Marvel Contest of Champions (Free) have some cool events going on at the moment. Let’s have a look-see!

    First up, over in Marvel Future Fight, it’s Iron Man time! You know Tony. He’s always concocting new suits, finding bigger and better guns to deal with whatever the situation presents. This particular event is inspired by Invincible Iron Man, and has some new threads for Tony and Pepper. Here’s what you can look forward to in this event, straight from the update notes:

    “Invincible Iron Man has joined Marvel Future Fight.

    Beat the enemies with upgraded suits!

     

    1. New Uniforms Added!

    – Iron Man, Rescue

     

    2. New Tier-4 Advancement!

    – War Machine, Hulkbuster

     

    3. The New World Boss: Legend+ Added!

    – Returned the Black Order, ‘Corvus & Proxima’

     

    4. The New Custom Gear, ‘C.T.P. of Liberation’ Added!

     

    5. Getting 200 Crystals Event

    – Obtain 200 crystals by linking your e-mail account!”

    Okay, now over to the ever-popular fighting game, Marvel Contest of Champions. New events for this game typically bring some new playable fighters with them, and at this point in the game’s life some of these cuts are getting very deep indeed. I don’t think we’ll ever see a Marvel fighting game again with a roster this varied. Like, Count Nefaria? Seriously? As an old-butt Marvel fan from a very long time ago, I like seeing these less common characters show up at all, let alone as playable characters. Over to the update notes to give you the full skinny on all of this:

    “NEW CHAMPIONS

     

    Count Nefaria

    Count Luchino Nefaria was the descendant of a long line of Italian noblemen, and used his wealth and connections to become a powerful leader within the Maggia crime syndicate. He furthered his rise to power by subjecting himself to scientific experiments that granted him superhuman abilities, but cost him his life. He was later resurrected as a being made entirely of Ionic energy, rendering him effectively immortal as long as he drains other Ionic beings to maintain his power.

     

    Shathra

    Daughter of the Elder Goddesses Oshtur and Gaea, Shathra comes from the world that would come to be known as Loomworld. Shathra was tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, however, after being outdone by her younger sister Neith, she became enraged with jealousy and spite towards her sister and the Great Web she had designed. Consumed by her vengeance and envy, Shathra gave into her feral nature to tear down everything her sister created, one Spider at a time.

     

    NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS

     

    Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula

    There has been an undertaking to overthrow The Collector’s ship! The Summoner is being called in to evict these evil-doers! But as they make it deeper into the ship they also find themselves deeper in trouble as each villain seems to be making their own plans for how best to make the most of The Collector’s treasures. Will The Summoner be able to manage these miscreants? Or will they go down with the ship? Find out in LUPUS IN FABULA!

     

    Side Quest – Ludum Maximus

    The Maestro has declared four months of celebratory games to honor his return. The festivities begin with the Circus Maximus, an onslaught of games and challenges hosted by Count Nefaria. The Count will not accept anything less than the best, the mightiest, the greatest of games. So dare to enter LUDUM MAXIMUS!

     

    Nefaria knows that a true battle is a mix of skill and luck, so 5x weekly Maps will open which present randomized Paths filled with fearsome foes!

     

    Act 9; Chapter 1

    Glykhan has self-destructed but the sinister plotting of Ouroboros is far from over. However clues for where to head next seem few and far between. Luckily (depending on your definition of luck) Superior Kang has some secrets to share in the form of holo-tapes scattered around Battleworld. Mister Fantastic and Doctor Doom send The Summoner on an intel retrieval mission, but they aren’t the only ones looking for answers. Will the past come back to haunt The Battlerealm? Find out in Act 9 – Chapter 1: THE RECKONING

     

    Glorious Games

    Introducing our third Saga: Glorious Games! To celebrate the history of the Contest and his triumphant return, The Maestro has declared four months of celebratory games. Each month of the Saga will revolve around a different element of games, starting with September’s Circus Maximus and culminating in the celebration of December’s Grand Banquet! Featuring a classical antiquity aesthetic, an exciting Champion chase, surprise Champion reworks and brand new kinds of Events and Quests, Glorious Games is sure to usher in our 10-year anniversary celebration in style!

     

    Realm Events

    Get ready to work alongside every Summoner in the Battlerealm! Realm Events are a brand new type of Event in which points will be contributed on a global level. Milestone rewards can be claimed once global and individual point contribution thresholds have been reached. For those more competitively-inclined Summoners, ranked rewards will also be up for grabs, including an exclusive and unique player title.”

    And that’s that. Let it never be said that Shaun was not interested in a level playing field. Kind of. Anyway, both of these events look very cool in their own ways, and if you haven’t played these games before or fell off a while back, this might be another good opportunity to give them both a try. I mean, I know I’m going to try out Count Nefaria. Look at him! He’s so nefarious! He cavorts with nefarious fellows! Hadouken? More like Ha-Don’t-ken! Okay, sorry. I’ll leave now. Enjoy!

    NFL Retro Bowl 25, Monster Train+, and Puzzle Sculpt Release Today on Apple Arcade Alongside Major Game Updates This Week – TouchArcade


    Beginning today, Apple will have released one new Apple Vision Pro game, one App Store Great, and upgrading an App Store Great to an Apple Arcade Original (as a standalone release) alongside some notable udpates. NFL Retro Bowl 25 () (Edit: No longer an update) will let players create their own dynasty using official NFL teams and players featuring official retro art, attributes, stats, and contracts. Since this was announced, I was surprised at how much interest I saw for it online. I don’t follow the NFL much, but I didn’t expect as much of a positive reaction to the NFL Retro Bowl 25 announcement. Hopefully it ends up well when it goes live as an update later today. Alongside NFL Retro Bowl 25, App Store Great Monster Train+ has launched on Apple Arcade including The Last Divinity DLC from the get go. Check out a screenshot from NFL Retro Bowl 25 below:

    Puzzle Sculpt is a Vision Pro-only set to launch today on Apple Arcade letting players solve puzzles in their own living room by removing blocks to reveal a cute collectible in a cube. As for this week’s notable updates, Hello Kitty Island Adventure has the Jam Jamboree on with Petunias appearing in the Merry Meadow as a festive flower. Rabbids Multiverse has new cards, outfits, seasonal events, and quality of life improvements with this week’s update. Wylde Flowers has its Magical Creatures update now live with jewelry crafting, secrets in the lighthouse, and more. Disney Spellstruck adds Hercules with a limited time event, a high contrast event, and more. What the Car brings in yet another update with a “Meet the Developers” special, scissors, bear improvements (yes), and more. What do you think of this month’s new Apple Arcade additions?

    Update: It looks like they launched NFL Retro Bowl 25 as a new app and not an update.

    How to Date 5+ famous athletes in BitLife – ISK Mogul Adventures


    With the new challenge this week, there’s a step that you need to know which steps to complete. Each time you make a new character for the challenge you are a bit stuck on the RNG. Along with all the other steps in the Athletic Supporter challenge in BitLife, you need to do one thing that can get pretty expensive. The process is easy once you have the money.

    You need to be able to date 5+ famous athletes in BitLife. This used to be a lot harder without a certain new feature, but the devs are a lot more merciful this time around. Here’s what to do.

    How to Date 5+ famous athletes in BitLife

    The new feature to the app allows you to directly date famous people. The downside is that it has a hefty price tag. Under the Relationships tab, you will find a Celebrity Dating App, click on that and a menu will show up, but so will the price tag.

    Within that menu, you will see a dropdown to pick your desired celebrity type. Choose Athlete. You can also pick age and gender. The younger you are, the lower you should set the age selection to improve your chances of getting dates. Do this until you get five dates with five athletes and you just have the college and job sections left to finish off.

    This is the most expensive part of the challenge this week. Fortunately, BitLife has a Celebrity Dating app feature that allows you to find famous people pretty easily, as long as your character can afford its $100,000 usage fee. One of the easiest ways to get this is to use the Pray feature. Once each year, you can Pray to the devs under the Activities menu, and an ad will play. Each time you play the ad, you can earn around $75,000. Do that during every year of your life and you’ll be golden. When you have that $500,000, you can then move on.

    The products below are affiliate links, we get a commission for any purchases made. If you want to help support ISKMogul at no additional cost, we really appreciate it.

    How to Date 5+ famous athletes in BitLife – ISK Mogul Adventures


    BitLife has another new challenge this week, and along with the challenge vault, there’s tons of content in this lifesim game. There’s a lot to do this week, and this guide can help you a lot. With the new challenge this week, there’s a step that you need to know which steps to complete. Each time you make a new character for the challenge you are a bit stuck on the RNG. Here are the steps you need to do to complete the Athletic Supporter Challenge in BitLife.

    How to complete the Athletic Supporter challenge in BitLife

    Be born in the United KingdomJoin the table tennis team in secondary schoolDate 5+ famous athletesBecome a massage therapistBecome a physical therapist

    Setting up for the challenge does require a bit of work. As usual, you’ll have to create a character born in a particular location. In this case, you’ll need a character born in the United Kingdom. Your starting gender and place don’t matter as long as your birth country is the UK.  Once your character is up and running, you can move on to getting an education. You can also give yourself a head start by using the Golden Piggy Bank addon if you have it. You will need at least $100,000 to do one of the steps.

    Once your in school, make sure to keep those Looks and Smarts up high, mostly by going for walks and to the library. Once you get to High School, you can go to the Gym as well. You will need a high Health and Looks stat to do well on the table tennis team later in the Athletic Supporter challenge in BitLife.

    Get to High School and check the Activities menu to look for Table Tennis under the Extracurricular menu. If you don’t find it that’s a problem. This is one of the more difficult steps in the Athletic Supporter challenge in BitLife, as you won’t get the RNG on your side every time. You aren’t always guaranteed to see the table tennis team pop up as an option in High School, so you need to sometimes reset your character to get the option. You could use the Time Machine addon if you have it to go back a few years. That can reset the high school activities as well.

    Once you’re out of school and working on that degree (more on that below) you can start working on getting plenty of cash for the final step.

The younger you are, the lower you should set the age selection to improve your chances of getting dates. Do this until you get five dates with five athletes and you just have the college and job sections left to finish off.

    Become a Physical Therapist

    Being a a massage therapist in BitLife is fairly easy, it’s all about what degree you go for. The RNG is once again sometimes an issue here. If you don’t get the job once you have the degree, you can age up to reset the list. To get the job once you apply for it, you need a science-related degree from a university, such as biology, chemistry, or psychology. Once you’ve gone to college and have that degree, check the Job menu for the availabel options.

    You can also use a Golden Diploma if you have one to get a degree instantly.

    This is one of the easier steps in the more advanced parts of the challenge. Once you’ve become a message therapist, you can then go to school again and become a physical therapist in BitLife.

    Doomsday Vanguard Beginner Guide & Tier List


    Welcome to our Doomsday Vanguard Beginner Guide. In this article we will you will find best tips and tricks that will help you during your journey in Doomsday Vanguard.

    Doomsday Vanguard Beginner Guide & Tier List

    Don’t level up every char to lvl 5, for better rng in the stages for your favourite skills

    Use the player redeem code for a free Camilla, she’s fantastic (before account lvl 8)

    Use redeeming codes (weekly codes and event codes)

    Choose Camilla as your main character to increase her mastery/proficiency

    Rerun the stages 2 times so you get the 3 times clearance reward

    Pull for characters early to be able to push chapters faster for more Originium

    Do the story until you are stuck, stage 7 and 18 are nice to farm for kill counts

    For the 7 day login rewards you need to lvl up all your talents up to player lvl 20, afterwards stop until day 7Accumulate 60 talents and 8 special talents

    Farm stages>use stamina for patrol

    Do patrol when you go to sleep or can’t play
    Farming a stage for 5 energy gives 3 equipment prints
    Patrol gives 8 prints for 15 energy
    9 for stages > 8 for patrol
    Also for kill count, you can rerun stage 7, easy to farm

    Do all the daily challenges and watch the ads for fast progress (energy recharge, originalism, gold, equipment chest, double reward for the achievements, patrol and the double spin in the stage battle)

    Buy equipment prints from the shop to fulfil the one lvl 25 equipment requirementStart to buy them early on to secure it

    Buy originalism from the guild and void shop to have an easier time fulfilling the mission for the 18k originalism accumulation for the 7-day mission

    Toph, Zero, Camila, Energy Shield and Ice Bow helps for the earliest stagesLater I would recommend using your first S rank character because they have higher stat scaling and are all-powerful

    Soul stones are obtainable in the guild shop, void shop and hero trial shop

    After you make sure that you bought enough Originium for the 7-day missions you could buy around 7 pieces in total for the beginning from the guild shop because in my opinion, it’s the cheapest option in the guild shop, later you unlock the hero trial, it’s a good option to buy it from there too for the beginning

    Important 7-day missions:

    Login for 7 days
    Open 10 advanced treasure chests
    Accumulate 18k originalism
    Accumulate 150k gold
    Accumulate 500k kills in total
    1 equipment reaches lvl 25
    [XX]All gears reach epic rarity[XX] (20 points)
    All gears reach lvl 20
    [XX]1 equipment reaches rarity legendary[XX] (20 points)
    Open 10 advanced chests(easy with ads)

    We skip the ones with [XX]

    Points:110 130 130 140 190 = 700(d1-d5)240 600 = 840 (d6-d7)1540

    Super Arrow Afk Skill Build – Stage, Boss, Tower, Mastery

    Super Arrow Afk Skill Build – Stage, Boss, Tower, Mastery


    Super Arrow AFK: Skill Combos quickly became a leading title in mobile games shortly after its release in November 2022 and introduced various skills to players. However, players often face the daunting choice of identifying the best skill builds.

    In Super Arrow AFK, there are multiple awesome builds; however, we have compiled some suitable Super Arrow Afk Skill Builds for the next time you decide to embark on the RPG. You can also refer to our Super Arrow AFK Guide

    Super Arrow Afk Skill Build

    In the below builds, if something is outlined in red it means that it is more essential than what is not outlined in red, with the order of importance generally from left to right.

    If you are missing a skill inside the red area then the build may not perform as well (or at all in the case of the first quick-clear deck, since all 4 outlined skills are the bare minimum for the combo).

    Feel free to experiment with what you find beneficial, especially in the areas outside of the red.

    The red outline on the power decks means these subskills are essential that they are placed to that main, with the numbered skills being 1 as the highest listed damage sub-skill you own and 11 being the lowest of the high damage sub-skills.

    This first deck is for end-game stage quick-clear (played where you 1-shot all enemies).

    There are many variants possible for the main arrow of Radiance, but Radiance has the largest splash area of all bomb-type skills, making it the ideal choice.

    Double Shot should only be used on a stage where you 1-shot, otherwise, if you 2-shot then there is no real point in halving your damage for more projectiles and would largely be a wasted slot.

    If you are at a priority stage and really want to farm it instead of the one lower, you can remove the double shot and change it to whatever else you like, including EXP increase etc. Ballista can also have a Gold increase added, or HP Absorption if you are getting hit hard.

    Drowning Darkness/Raging Wrath are presently bugged, but they will be included in the build when they fix it.

    Quick clear decks can be used for Daily Mine — simply run up and down the middle of the map casting Maneuvering Attack, Radiance, and Basic Attack Ballista when available, preferably staggering them out at appropriate distances. If you see the bottom or top edges of the map, turn back around and run the other way. Rinse repeat to 2000-2200 kills per run.

    This second deck is for mid-game quick clear.

    Skill Build 2

    Again, enemies should all be dying in one 1-shot, and if they are not, then you are farming too high of a stage and need to adjust to a lower one. Spear on High Angle proccing Dark Flame and Ice Shock is superior to attempting the first deck without Rapid Barrage–in short, if you do not have Rapid Barrage, the second will still be able to clear everything around you at a fairly high speed, and faster than a Radiance on Cluster Bomb without Rapid.

    Because at this stage in the game you may be lacking sufficient AOE clear, the last line of Radiance is added, but this can also easily be changed to the Ice Arrow line with Drowning Darkness from the first deck if you feel you do not need the extra splash from the Radiance Line, and HP Absorption, if needed, can still be placed on Basic Attack if you’re taking too many hits.

    Boss Damage/Promo Build

    Boss Damage/Promo Build

    Because Drowning Darkness is bugged right now and will not affect other skills, the 4-line primary variant will not be shared at this time–since we do not know when it will be fixed. For Promotions, the Initial Attack is to be swapped with the Dark Sub-Skill Focus Shooting.

    This is because the Initial Attack buff will work on Dragon since your damage is counted up, but will not work on Promo bosses since their HP goes down–and because Promo has small-size bosses, making Focus Shooting a great addition.

    There are other considerations I will not mention here as to some better skill swaps while I wait to hear back from Mobirix on my tickets–first from v1.7.0, and secondly from 1.10.0 for reconfirmation. Depending on what they say, I may be able to update this deck again, both when Drowning is fixed, and when I hear back on a possible issue with some skills and their use.

    If you do not have Ancient Magic Circle, Luminous Fall, or Rapid Barrage, these may be exchanged for Fire Smite, Lightning Smite, and Stagger respectively (Dragon requires a source of Weaken to prolong the battle and earn more total DPS, and presently that is awarded Luminous Fall or Stagger), but then the build will no longer be min-maxed and you may see higher yields from moving Flaming Meteor Strike and Icicle Downpour up to Rain of Arrows, and the smites/ults or other persistent AOEs back down to Basic

    Mastery Farming Deck Build

    Farming Build

    Add Element Damage is changed to whatever element you need to farm can be added, and there are plenty of variants. Double Shot can be exchanged for another Add Element DMG type or another persistent AOE like Stagger.

    If you lack Legendary or Epic Multi-Projectiles, just add the Magic/Normal variants–we don’t care about damage, we just want consistent arrows falling to keep healing.

    Rapid Barrage has a home in the deck or can be used to make a completely separate mastery farming deck where it’s put on High Angle and Ice Vortex instead, with Auto Ballista being on Lifesteal Arrow instead, but most players will not have access to that since masteries are finished to 999 early and in a few days.

    The general idea is to use Ice Vortex and Burn to trigger lines, and Add Element DMG to apply elemental mastery gains to those lines. Make yourself as weak as possible when doing this–lowest rarity Quiver, change to all HP/Evade pet pages, etc.

    Make yourself so weak that you can’t really kill the enemies, or so that it takes a while to kill them. Depending on your device, you may want to kill them within 20 seconds or so if you find yourself crashing.

    Physical Mastery Farming Build

    physical Build

    Same strategy–make yourself as weak as possible by equipping a low-level quiver, changing to a Pet Engraving page on all pets for HP etc., and find the stage where you can’t kill the enemies too quickly depending on your device.

    A track may be added in place of Gut Buster if your penetration rates from your Arrow Equipment are adequate enough.

    Super Arrow Afk Skill Build Late Game

    Late Game - Universal Farming Build

    200 mine kills550 treasure kills (depending on ACU)Useful for 4P Raid

    If masteries are still needed:Swap Killshot for Add Damage (Lowest Mastery)Swap Explosion for Add Damage (2nd Lowest Mastery)Only swap in stage farming as losing these skills will impact dungeon efficiency.

    Barriers are solely there for auto-queue 4P Raids and potentially having a full raid party. Love playing RPG game> make sure to visit our Valiant Force 2 Guide
