‘Balatro’ Is Coming to Apple Arcade and Also iOS as a Standalone Premium Release Beginning September 26th – TouchArcade


Balatro from developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack is finally coming to mobile later this month on iOS, Android, and also directly on Apple Arcade. Yes, this will be a premium release on iOS and Android, but also one available as a “+” version on Apple Arcade from day one. The Poker-inspired roguelike Balatro has sold over 2 million units across PS5, Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox platforms in less than six months, and I can’t wait to see how it performs on mobile with more planned including a major free update in 2025 bringing new ideas and strategies. Balatro will be launching for $9.99 on mobile and you can watch the mobile announcement trailer ahead of its September 26th release date below:

If you’ve not played Balatro yet, read my 5/5 review of it here on Switch and check out my feature on the best games of the year so far on Switch where I included it here. I also interviewed LocalThunk about the game, the mobile release, and more. Read that here. You can pre-order Balatro on the App Store for iOS here and pre-register for it on Android here. The Apple Arcade version is here. Have you played it before and will you be getting one of the best games of 2024 later this month on mobile?

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

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

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.

The Best Switch Visual Novels and Adventure Games in 2024 – From Fata Morgana and VA-11 Hall-A to Famicom Detective Club and Gnosia – TouchArcade

The Best Switch Visual Novels and Adventure Games in 2024 – From Fata Morgana and VA-11 Hall-A to Famicom Detective Club and Gnosia – TouchArcade


After tackling the best party games on Switch in 2024, the recent release of Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club being as amazing as it is pushed me to write about what I consider the best visual novels and adventure games on Switch to play right now. I’ve included both because some games are pure visual novels while some are adventure games (and not visual novels). This list has quite a few games from across regions and release years, and I hope you find something you end up loving here. As usual, this list is in no particular order.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club ($49.99) + Famicom Detective Club: The Two-Case Collection

When Nintendo not only remade both Famicom Detective Club games back in 2021, I couldn’t believe it. They were amazing adventure games, and my only complaint really was the lack of a physical release back then. Fast forward to 2024 and Nintendo has released Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club physically and digitally as a brand-new entry in the series, and I’ve been floored playing it. Not only does it feel like a true series entry which might be a negative to some, but this might be one of the most lavish productions I’ve seen in a game like this ever. I don’t want to get into spoilers, but the ending is shockingly good and it really justifies its M rating. I definitely didn’t expect to have a new Famicom Detective Club game in 2024 on my top games of the year list, but Nintendo managed to do that with Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club. Download the demo now.

If you’d rather play the first two games before Emio, grab the Famicom Detective Club: The Two-Case Collection. If you are ok with some old school design and gameplay for adventure games, you will adore these.

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action ($14.99)

If you’ve been reading the few “best Switch games” lists I’ve been doing this year, you’ve seen me feature VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action twice before already, but as you know, I’m not going to pass up an opportunity to write about one of my favorite games of all time. VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is notable for its story, music, aesthetic, and most-importantly the characters. Having played it multiple times over the years on every system, it also feels right at home on Switch, and is a game I recommend to everyone literally. I don’t care if you like point and click adventure games or not. Go ahead and mix drinks and then change some lives.

The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition ($39.99)

The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition is the definitive edition of one of my favorite stories in any medium. It includes the original game and much more to deliver a stunning version of a masterpiece in storytelling. This one is a pure visual novel, and I’m glad that after its many releases, it found a lot of success on Switch, where it plays best. If you want to play something that will stay with you for a long time, this gothic horror experience will do much more. It also happens to have some of the most incredible music ever.

Coffee Talk Episode 1+2 ($12.99 + $14.99)

Ok this one is cheating since the games are sold separately on the eShop and the physical releases I imported from Japan are also separate, but since there’s a bundle of both games sold in North America on Switch, I’ve included both Coffee Talk games as one entry here. I love them both, and while they didn’t hit the same highs as VA-11 Hall-A, Coffee Talk perfectly satiated what I wanted from a game set in a coffee shop, and delivered a very relaxing experience with a great story. If you enjoy coffee and listening to interesting people with great pixel art and music, this is for you.

Type Moon’s visual novels: Tsukihime, Fate/stay night, and Mahoyo (Variable)

This is another entry where I’m cheating. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to include just Tsukihime or Witch on the Holy Night (Mahoyo), but then the recent release of Fate/stay night Remastered made things even harder. Instead of worrying too much, I’ve included all three as essential visual novels in this article on Switch. They are all very long but very good. If you’ve wanted to sample a classic visual novel, go with Fate/stay night, but I recommend Tsukihime’s remake on Switch to everyone. Witch on the Holy Night is probably the game to play after these two in terms of quality.

PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo ($19.99)

Square Enix’s PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo reminds me of Nintendo’s Emio in a way that I’m surprised it even exists, let alone turned out this good. I went into it with no expectations, but was blown away by the narrative, its delivery, and even some wall breaking that I enjoyed quite a bit early on. Square Enix released one of the best mystery adventure games I’ve played with amazing characters, great art, and interesting mechanics here, and it is worth your time if you want a fantastic new horror adventure game.

Gnosia ($24.99)

People call Gnosia a sci-fi social deduction RPG, but it is more of an adventure and visual novel hybrid for me. Your aim here is identifying the Gnosia among a group using information you gather and then vote to put the Gnosia into cold sleep. You and your crew both improve over time, and aside from some RNG issues to get two specific outcomes, Gnosia was a fantastic experience. I liked it so much on Switch that I bought the physical release on both Switch and PS5 in addition to getting it on Steam. This one might not be for everyone, but it remains one of the nicest surprises in the genre.

Steins;Gate Series (Variable)

Spike Chunsoft’s Switch releases of the Steins;Gate series, especially Steins;Gate Elite, are as important as Fate/stay night when it comes to introducing newcomers to visual novels to the genre. While I still hope the publisher brings over the original version of Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate Elite is an easy recommendation for those who watch anime and want to get into a great visual novel. The Steins;Gate games are must plays only after you experience the original story in Steins;Gate Elite. I’ve cheated here as well by including multiple games, but my list my rules.

AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES and nirvanA Initiative (Variable)

AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES and nirvanA Initiative from Spike Chunsoft brought Zero Escape creator Kotaro Uchikoshi and No More Heroes character designer Yusuke Kozaki together for an incredible set of two adventure games that honestly feel too good to be true when it comes to the budget behind them with the quality they delivered on story, music, and characters. While a lot of folks lament the lack of Zero Escape on Switch, I think the two AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES games are absolutely worth experiencing at full price, and gems of the Switch library. Don’t make us wait too long for a new game in the series please.

NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD ($19.99)

When it comes to adventure games or visual novels, I’m often recommended games where a friend will say “trust me and just play it but don’t look up anything about it”. One such game was NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD when I first played it on PC. It is an adventure game with multiple endings that can flip flop between disturbing horror and wholesome moments. It revolves around the daily life of a young girl trying to be the best streamer. I liked this one enough to pre-order the Switch limited edition from Japan, and I’m glad I did so. It is unforgettable.

Ace Attorney Series (Variable)

Capcom has now brought the entire Ace Attorney series to Switch with the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy (1,2,3), Apollo Justice Trilogy (4,5,6), The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (1+2 of those), and the two Ace Attorney Investigations games in this week’s Ace Attorney Investigations Collection release. I would say there are no excuses now, but this adventure game series is beloved for a reason and it has spawned a fanbase that has lasted for years since the DS debut in the West. If you are new to the series, I recommend The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles as the best entry point even above the original trilogy which feels dated in ways. Either way, you can now play the entire series on one handheld, and I love that.

Spirit Hunter: Death Mark, NG, and Death Mark II (Variable)

Another series rather than a single game? Yes. Aksys Games and Experience Inc’s Spirit Hunter trilogy is now fully available on Switch, and it manages to blend horror adventure and visual novel elements with one of the most striking art styles I’ve ever seen. It is a bit harder to recommend this series given how grotesque some of the designs are, but I don’t think I’ll ever forget some of the images I’ve seen while playing the Spirit Hunter games with their excellent localizations and stories. I hope we see a new entry in the next few years.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim ($59.99)

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim isn’t a pure adventure game, but one that has real-time strategy battles. I usually try and include a fantastic game at the end and the double whammy of not being a full adventure game and also being one of the best games I’ve played in a decade has me ending this feature on Vanillaware and Atlus’ sci-fi masterpiece 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. I first played this on PS4 and enjoyed replaying it from start to finish on Switch thanks to the OLED screen in handheld mode. Regardless of where you play it, you need to experience 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

If you made it this far, you’ve realized that this isn’t a top 10 but more, and the games are ones I recommend playing at full price. I didn’t want to cut out something I like a lot to hit an arbitrary number of games featured and that’s why I even included some full series here instead of just individual games. That’s my list of the best visual novels and adventure games on Switch to play in 2024. If you have a game you think I should’ve included, please let me know in the comments below. I’m always on the lookout for more amazing stories in two of my favorite genres that feel perfect on Switch. As always, thanks for reading!

Note: I’m working on a separate list of otome games since there are too many good ones in that subgenre.

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

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.

How To Complete the Athletic Supporter Challenge in BitLife – ISK Mogul Adventures

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.

Date 5+ famous athletes in BitLife

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 has the money to 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.

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.

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.

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

0
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

Crystal-Clear Gaming: ‘Visions of Mana’ Sharpens on GeForce NOW


It’s time to mana-fest the spirit of adventure with Square Enix’s highly anticipated action role-playing game, Visions of Mana, launching today in the cloud.

Members can also head to a galaxy far, far away, from the comfort of their homes, with the power of the cloud and Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws, with early access available on GeForce NOW.

Plus, be among the first to get early access to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta on GeForce NOW without having to wait around for downloads — early access runs Aug. 30-Sept. 4 for those who preorder the game. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will join the cloud when the full game is released Oct. 25.

These triple-A titles are part of 26 titles joining the GeForce NOW library of over 2,000 games this week.

Cloudy With a Chance of Mana

Visions of Mana details a whimsical journey through the enchanting world of Mana. Step into the shoes of Val, a curious young man on an epic quest to escort his childhood friend Hina to the sacred Tree of Mana. Along the way, encounter a colorful cast of characters and face off against endearing yet formidable enemies.

Get ready for mana madness in the cloud.

The game’s combat system blends action and strategy for real-time battles where party members can be switched on the fly. Different party members offer unique skills, such as Val’s powerful sword strikes or magical spells cast by Careena’s dragon companion Ramcoh. Plus, traverse the game’s expansive, semi-open world on Pikuls — adorable, rideable creatures that can also ram through enemies.

Stream the game on an Ultimate or Priority membership for a seamless magical adventure. Experience the lush landscapes and dynamic combat in stunning detail — at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second for Ultimate members. GeForce NOW makes it easy to stay connected to the world of Mana whether at home or on the go, ensuring the journey to the Tree of Mana is always within reach.

Join the Galaxy’s Most Wanted

Star Wars Outlaws on GeForce NOW
Make your own destiny in the cloud.

In Star Wars Outlaws — the highly anticipated single-player action-adventure game from Ubisoft — explore the depths of the galaxy’s underworld as part of the beloved Star Wars franchise’s first-ever open-world game, set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Step into the shoes of Kay Vess, a daring scoundrel seeking freedom and adventure. Navigate distinct locations across the galaxy — both iconic and new — and encounter bustling cities, cantinas and sprawling outdoor landscapes. Fight, steal and outwit others while joining the ranks of the galaxy’s most wanted. Plus, play alongside Nix, a loyal companion who helps turn any situation to Kay’s advantage through blaster combat, stealth and clever distractions.

Get ready for high-stakes missions, space dogfights and an ever-changing reputation based on player choices. Unlock the power of the Force with a GeForce NOW Ultimate membership and stream from GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPODs at up to 4K resolution at 120 fps, without the need for upgraded hardware. The AI-powered graphics of NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction enhance the game for maximum performance, offering the clarity of a Jedi’s vision, and NVIDIA Reflex technology enables unbeatable responsiveness.

Answering the Call

Get ready for the anticipated addition to the Call of Duty franchise — Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. GeForce NOW will support the title’s PC Game Pass, Battle.net and Steam versions in the cloud.

Explore a range of new features, including innovative mechanics such as Omnimovement, which allows players to sprint, slide and dive in any direction to enhance the fluidity of combat. The Black Ops 6 Campaign features a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States. With a mind-bending narrative and unbound by the rules of engagement, the title embodies signature Black Ops.

Experience the new gameplay mechanics and features before the title’s official launch with early access to the preorder beta from Aug. 30-Sept. 4 — available for those who preorder the game or have an active PC Game Pass subscription. The Open Beta follows soon after on Sept. 6-9 and will be available for all gamers to hop into the action, even without preordering the game.

GeForce NOW Ultimate members can gain an advantage on the field with ultra low-latency gaming, streaming from GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPODs in the cloud.
