Avowed's Best Magic Wand Will Shock You (And Others)
If your goal in Avowed is to go all-in on the wizard lifestyle, you may have settled on a wand as one of your weapons of choice. That's a good call, as wands can deal solid damage at range with their rapid rate of fire. One in particular, Minoletta's Conduit, ups the ante further with fantastic enchantments that increase your attack damage and wand range, letting you hurt foes more while staying even further away, avoiding damage yourself. Here's what to know about this killer wand and how to find it. Minoletta's Conduit comes with the Shocking Lash passive bonus, which deals +10 percent bonus Shock damage. You don't need to have a Shock-focused build to benefit from this, as the Shock accumulation happens fairly quickly. This means you get an additional element applied to enemies on top of whatever your main element is (such as Fire). Minoletta's Conduit comes with the Charged Missile enchantment, which grants you +5 percent attack damage and +30 percent range when using wands. You can choose one of two permanent upgrades to this enchantment: Overcharged Missile - Upgrades the attack damage bonus to +10 percent and the wand range bonus to +60 percent. Detonating Missile - Power Attacks deal moderate Stun damage to all nearby enemies. Unlike some unique weapons that have to be found in the wild, Minoletta's Conduit can be purchased from a merchant named Abritt Porrya, whom you'll encounter at a shop in the Emerald Stair's hub city, Fior mes Iverno. You can find Abritt Porrya in a shop directly north of Fior mes Iverno's southern entrance. She has quite a lot for sale, but you're here for Minoletta's Conduit, which she'll let go for 3,780. At this point in the game, that price shouldn't be too steep, so long as you've been selling any gems you've found and at least some of your unwanted gear. With Minoletta's Conduit in hand, you're now ready to start blasting foes away Hogwarts style. Good luck out there in The Living Lands. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Avowed's Best Weapon Combos And More Of The Week's Top Tips
This week, we've got a host of Avowed tips to help you make the most of your sojourn to the Living Lands. We've also got some pointers for mastering Magik in Marvel Rivals, and for defeating Mortal Kombat 1's new pink-clad ninja boss, Floyd. (Get it?) Click on for these tips and more. Avowed has a wide variety of weapons that you can mix and match in any way you wish, ideal for shaping the game to your whim as you work your way through The Living Lands. With so many build combinations you have tons of freedom in how you approach combat—and then double it because you have two loadouts, giving you the ability to really change things up on the fly. - Billy Givens Read More Role-playing games are known to be lengthy adventures that can keep you busy for weeks, months, or years, some totalling well over 100 hours. As such, it's not surprising you'd want to know just how long you'll be spending in Obsidian Entertainment's newest RPG, Avowed, and whether it's worth your time and money. If you're curious about how long it will take to beat this exciting RPG, we'll fill you in on what to expect below. - Billy Givens Read More If you were to watch any trailers or marketing material for Obsidian's role-playing hit Avowed, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume the game is strictly a first-person affair. With this focus on first-person melee combat in every video around, you may be shocked to hear that it actually provides a third-person option as well. Here's how to switch to third-person in Avowed, and whether it gains you any advantages. - Billy Givens Read More For those who like the smell of gunpowder during their trip through The Living Lands, there are a lot of great pistols to find in Avowed. Snagging the best one, though, will have to wait until you're in the game's final region, Galawain's Tusks. The Magic Pistol may have a generic name, but it's a damn fine weapon to keep on your hip. Here's what to know about the Magic Pistol and where to find it. - Billy Givens Read More Avowed features three starting classes, each focused on specific archetypes that most role-playing fans are certain to recognize. While you can mix and match abilities between these different classes throughout your adventure, picking the one that appeals most to you can have a significant impact on your early hours in the game. Here are the basics of each starting class in Avowed. - Billy Givens Read More If you haven't kept up with Mortal Kombat 1 in recent weeks, you've probably missed the new character that's whipped the fanbase into a frenzy. No, I'm not talking about the Conan the Barbarian DLC fighter that's been pretty overshadowed by all this. I'm talking about a pink ninja named Floyd who's been added as a hidden boss. Also, yeah, he's totally named after the band Pink Floyd. - Samuel Moreno Read More The Space-Time Smackdown expansion is a few weeks old now in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and it has shifted the game's competitive landscape by leaps and bounds. Up to this point, Psychic decks have ruled the roost. Mewtwo ex, combined with the Energy generation of Gardevoir, inflicted such high burst damage that it held fast as one of the game's most dangerous cards since launch. Now it seems Mewtwo ex's meta-dominating days will come to an end, as another card has quickly overtaken its throne. - Timothy Monbleau Read More One of the earliest quests you'll receive in Avowed is 'Message From Afar,' which sends you to the northwestern corner of Dawnshore to explore the Strangleroot. Here, you'll face off against a fearsome bear, meet a new NPC, and ultimately have a fresh conversation with the Voice you've been hearing in your head. - Billy Givens Read More If you're the kind of person who likes ripping through baddies with an axe, you'll probably enjoy Avowed's selection of skull-splitters. There are quite a few solid choices to wield, but Drawn in Winter—which can be obtained early in the game—is an incredible option to run with, good through the entire adventure. Here's what you need to know about Drawn in Winter and where to find it. - Billy Givens Read More Many of the Marvel Rivals Duelists settle in nicely into specific roles. Psylocke functions perfectly as an assassin while Hawkeye is meant to be used at range. But if you're looking for an easy-to-pick-up hero with more flexibility, there is plenty of fun to be had with Magik. - Samuel Moreno Read More For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The Best Weapon Combos For Dominating In Avowed
Avowed has a wide variety of weapons that you can mix and match in any way you wish, ideal for shaping the game to your whim as you work your way through The Living Lands. With so many build combinations you have tons of freedom in how you approach combat—and then double it because you have two loadouts, giving you the ability to really change things up on the fly. Magic is extraordinarily powerful in Avowed, making the game's spellbook grimoires one of the most useful off-hand weapons in the game. If you plan to go all-in this playstyle, you may want to bring a wand with you too. These have a high attack speed and can build Stun damage on your foes very quickly. Most importantly, of course, is that it rounds out your Wizard vibes. Though you can certainly get through the game mixing and matching spells, picking a single element to focus on with a single grimoire can make you ultra-powerful. If you want to go for high damage over time, I recommend choosing fire, because it absolutely slaps in this game. Grimoires also pair exceedingly well with a good one-handed weapon like a sword. This allows you to cast spells and beat the hell out of enemies with rapid swings all at once. This Battlemage build can be one of the most rewarding in the game once you learn how to weave all of your attacks together. If you decide to go for a fire-focused build, pick up the quest Dawntreader in Paradis during the early part of the game. This quest leads you to arguably the best weapon in Avowed, The Last Light of Day, an immensely strong fire sword with one of the most useful enchantments in the game. If you're not really feeling the magic thing, maybe you should opt for a sword and pistol combo. The Ranger skill tree has some really great abilities for this playstyle, such as slowing down time for you to line up perfect shots on enemy noggins. When enemies close in, you can beat 'em down with your sword (or other one-handed weapon of choice). Do note, though, that going this route will mean investing fairly equally in the Fighter and Ranger trees to get the most out of the playstyle. As such, you'll probably want to analyze how you're approaching fights and make a build that capitalizes just a bit more on one or the other. If you'd like to go for a Bible thumper build, wield a pistol and grimoire. Slinging spells and poppin' heads is a ranged player's dream. It might be a good idea to invest in some frost spells if you choose this build, however, as pistols reload a bit slowly. As with a Sword and Pistol loadout, opting for this playstyle may stretch your ability points a little thin. But you're likely to benefit most from leaning more on the Ranger tree, as magic is pretty damn incredible even with limited investment, while pistols require you to level some passive abilities to really shine. Hear me out. You may think dual-wielding is best suited for pistols and one-handed melee weapons, but you might be shocked at how powerful dual wands can be. The rapid attack speed of wands can result in some damn good DPS without the need to line up critical shots as precisely as you would with guns. Even more, if you combine two elemental wands, you can rapidly build up status effects on your foes for even more damage. Add in a few magic spells and you'll be whittling down health bars like you wouldn't is available now on Xbox Series X and PC. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
