What is Arknights

Incase you missed the last even breakdown or are just new to the game, let me quickly break down what arknights is before we get into the event. Arknights is a Tactical Tower defence game from Chinese Developer Studio Montagne that is available for Android devices. 

The game follows the story of “The Doctor”, who you play as, after they awaken from a coma and are quickly put incharge of the Private military portion of “rhodes Island”, a pharmaceutical company looking into a cure for the highly infectious disease known as Oripathy. Also Catgirls. Lots of catgirls. And catboys is thats your thing. At the same time, the Extremist Faction known as “reunion”, comprised of people who are infected with Oripathy, have began a terrorist campaign that threatens to destabilize the world. Arknights story is part political thriller, part tragic character drama and part Anime.

The game is a gacha Game, meaning you need to “Pull” for units which are graded on a star based rarity system, similar to Genshin Impact. The characters you pull are known as operators and can then be used in stages that take the form of A tower defence style system. Every character is unique (although most do fit into broader Classes and subclasses) and everyone strategy with a stage will be different based on what team they have.

Arknights has recently been confirmed to be getting an anime adaptation, scheduled for release in the not too distant future, so if the game itself doesnt seem to be your style then maybe check out the show when it launches. You can watch the teaser trailer here:

Preluding lights: whats that?

Preluding lights is the newest story event for the game. This is a mini story event, meaning there is not multi-stage storyline. Instead, you buy information fragments using earned currency in the shop and use those to unlock Visual novel style cutscenes featuring the characters.

That doesnt mean there are not any stages, though, there are 10 limited access stages, they just dont have any soty attached to them and are just there for farming. With that in mind, only 1 stage is considered more efficient than normal stages for materials, that being the Stage “PL-5”, which can be used to farm the material RMA70-12, which is used for leveling some characters.

You can also get 10 free originite prime from clearing the stages, and 10 more for doing their challenge modes, which can be used to unlock costumes for operators in the Outfit store or used to pull on the current banner. More on both of these in a bit.

Operators

We have 4 new operators, 3 new on the banner and 1 welfare from the store, with their rarities ranging from 6 to 4 star. So, with that in mind, starting with the welfare

Welfare> Bena. “puppeteer” specialist (the first operator of her type). This means that, when bena receives lethal damage, rather than withdrawing from the battlefield she is swapped with her substitute and continues fighting. The Substitute has a block count of 0. After a certain period of time, the substitute will be replaced with the real Bena again. If the Substitute dies while deployed, Bena retreats as normal. Benas first and only Talent means the substitute deals arts damage and receives 40% less physical and arts damage. Her first skill halves Bena’s max HP, increases her attack and means that she ignores a percentage of her targets defence, while her second skill increases her attack and attack speed but means she loses 4% of her HP every second. This lasts 20 seconds at base and 22 at max meaning that in a single activation will drain bena of 80% of her HP, without even considering extra damage from enemies. Bena Is a unique beast and very interesting, but not the most generally useful character

6 Star> Carnelian. “Phalanx” Caster. Again, this even is all weird off-role operators. Phalanx Ops do not attack unless their skill is active, but gain some chumby defence and arts resist in the meantime. While her skills are active, she deals arts damage to all enemies in range. Carnelian has a unique mechanic on top of this, “charged”, where she will continue to gain SP after her skill is fully charged, and once she has double the SP required to launch the skill she gains the “charged” effect. Her first talent means she recovers a percentage of her hp after activating her skills, with the charged effect doubling the amount recovered. Her second skill increases the SP she generates per second once her skill is ready, letting her reach the charged state quicker. First skill gives and attack and Defence buff, with the Charged effect being that her trait remains active during the skills duration. Her second skill reduces her attack interval and slows enemies. When charged this skill deals extra attack and the slow is changed to Bind, holding enemies in place for an amount of time, starting a 0.2 seconds and maxing at 0.6 seconds. 3rd skill expands Attack range, and causes her attack to gradually increase until the end of skill duration. When charged, the skill also means that enemies gain a stacking debuff each time they take damage, which increases the amount of damage carnelian deals to them. Carnelian, along with all Phalanx operators, is weird. Shes good, dont get me wrong, but she is a strange beast and wont easily slot into most teams. Probably not worth pulling for overall, but definitely not something to be scoffed at if you do get her

5 Star> Kirara. “Stalker” Specialist (same Subclass as Manticor and ethan). She attacks all enemies in her range, has a 50% physical and arts dodge and has a lower priority to be attacked by enemies. Skill means she self heals, with her healing being increased if there are no allies in the surrounding 8 tiles. First skill is a single shot skill that charges off dealing damage to enemies. Kirara does an additional hit of arts damage, equal to a percentage of her overall attack. Her second skill increases the potency of her talent, and lets her deal a percentage of arts damage to enemies in her range every second. Kirara is a solid pick, and fills out a unique niche alongside Manticor and Ethan. You’re probably never going to need more than one of these 3 in your team at a time, but Kirara does make a good addition.

4 Star> Indigo “mystic” caster. She deals arts damage, and when there are no targets in her range she can store her attack energy up to 3 times and fire it off in a burst once a target is available. Her Skill means that she has a percentage chance to bind a target, and that she does not attack said bound targets. This may sound weird but remember, due to her ability to store charges of damage, this means that if there is a single enemy that gets bound, Indigo’s next attack will be devastating. Her first skill changes her attack range to be straight in front of her and reduces her attack interval, with an added percentage arts damage decrease. Second skill also reduces attack interval, increases her talent activation chance, and means any bound enemies in her range receive arts damage every 0.5 seconds. Indigos main draw is being a 4 star of this style of caster, and all in all she isnt bad. I just dont care for this class.

Skins

3 new skins, in collaboration with hong kong based fashion brand I.T. Skins and prices are as follows

• Cómodo (Thorns)> 18 Originite Prime
• Liberté//Échec (Surtr)> 18 Originite Prime

Furniture

As with all events, a new set of furniture for your Dorms has been launched. This one is titled “Lena’s Rest”, provides a total of 500 Ambiance to a dorm for the full set, and will set you back 6,070 furniture pieces, or 32 originite prime.

The post Arknights: Preluding Lights – what to expect first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Niantic have recently revealed the Breakthrough Reward for completing field events in Pokémon Go throughout the month of December. Field events are one of the best ways to grind and gain xp in the game. They are acquired mostly through spinning PokéStops, which provide players with objectives to perform in exchange for various rewards.

Each day that a Pokémon GO user completes a Field Research activity earns them a stamp, which leads to a Field Research breakthrough when they have collected seven of them.

The rewards for the breakthroughs tend to change each month, with a different Pokémon being on offer as a reward. This rotation will change as of 9pm GMT / 1pm PT on December 1^st and will last until January 1^st 2022, 9pm GMT / 1pm PT.

Pokémon GO’s December Field Research Breakthrough Reward

Currently available as a Field Research Breakthrough reward is Deino, a Dragon/Dark type Pokémon from the Unova region.

Deino is a strong Pokémon and definitely worth adding to your collection, as it has a good move set for gym battles and PVP. It costs 25 Candy to evolve into Zweilous, and then a further 100 Candy to evolve into Hydreigon.

Other Events to Look Forward to This Month!

There’s a lot more to look forward to in December for Pokémon GO fans as there’s a whole bunch of events going on this month and throughout the start of next year.

There will be a Dragonspiral Descent event,  which will feature Unova’s Dragonspire Tower and runs between December 7th and December 12th. Those are the only details revealed about the event at the time of writing. On top of that is a special Pokémon GO Community Day happening.

The final Community Day event will be held on both  December 18th, and  December 19th. During the event, Pokémon that appeared throughout 2021’s Community Day events will be appear more frequently in the wild. Additionally, Pokémon featured in 2020’s Community Day events will hatch from Eggs and appear in raids. December Community Day will be a great chance for anybody catch something they might have missed.

To end the year, The Pokémon GO Holidays event will return on December 16th, and runs until December 31st. It will feature costumed Pokémon, Ice-type Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild, event-exclusive Field Research, winter-themed avatar items, and many other bonuses.

The post Pokémon GO Dec 2021 Field Research Reward Has Been Revealed first appeared on Get2Gaming.

This November, Pokémon Go is going to be holding a whole bunch of events. This will include things like legendary raids, mega raids, and spotlight events, as well as some events that are awaiting more details to be announced. Here’s an idea of what’s happening next month in Pokémon Go.

Returning Legendary Raids

Darkrai is currently available through the legendary raids until November 5^th, where it will be replaced by Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion – who will return until November 16^th. There is a chance that they will appear as shiny, and they will know the move Sacred Sword. Taking their place after the 16^th will be Cresselia.

Mega Raid Updates

As well as the legendary raids, the mega raids will also be updated from November 5^th. Mega Manectric will appear from November 5^th to replace Mega Absol, who is currently available. Mega Manectric will be available to catch until November 16^th, when it will be replaced by Mega Lopunny until December 1^st.

Pokemon Go’s November Community Day 2021

On the 21^st, it will be Pokémon Go’s November Community Day. Shinx is this month’s featured Pokémon, and it will appear more frequently in the game from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in your time zone. Furthermore, any Luxio that you evolve into Luxray during the event will learn the new psychic-type Charged Attack Psychic Fangs, and Pokémon eggs will hatch at a quarter of the distance.

Weekly Spotlight Events Schedule

There is a weekly spotlight event on a Tuesday evening, between 6-7pm, local time, that provides special incentives and bonuses such as candies or exp to encourage you to try and catch the unique Pokémon of the hour. This unique Pokémon will have a considerably increased chance to appear, making it an ideal time to try and evolve it.

Spotlight bonus: 2x catch candy

Nov. 9

Spotlight Pokémon: Chinchou

Pokémon Go Field Research Updates

On November 1^st, Pokémon Go’s field research events will reset too, as well as the tasks. This will come alongside a new research encounter – Vullaby. You will be presented with a chance to catch the Dark/Flying type Pokémon each time you complete a research task.

You must first gather seven stamps to accomplish a Research Breakthrough in the game. You’ll get one stamp for each Field Research activity you complete each day, so a Research Breakthrough will require you to perform activities for at least seven days.

Other Pokémon Go Events Awaiting More Info!

There will also be a special event running to celebrate the release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl on the Nintendo Switch, which is set to launch on November 19^th. More details about this are meant to drop later on.

Finally, another event that is yet to have its full details revealed is the Dia de Muertos event. We currently know the event will run through November 1^st to November 2^nd, but that is all that has been revealed so far.
