  • The Advent of the King of the Wind： Deconstructing Saber’s Combat Philosophy and Design Philosophy

    The Arrival of the King of the Wind: Deconstructing Saber’s Combat Philosophy and Design Essence
    In the upcoming 3.4 version of 崩坏：星穹铁道, a highly anticipated character, Saber, will make her debut. This five-star, wind-attribute character not only possesses formidable offensive capabilities but also comes equipped with a unique skill set, making her a potential core member of many players’ teams. In this article, we will delve into Saber’s skills, exclusive light column, and star soul effects to help you unlock her full potential in the game.
    First, let’s take a look at the basic information about this “King of the Wind.” Saber has a five-star rarity, is wind-attribute, and follows the “Destruction” pathway. These base attributes already hint at her immense combat potential. Next, we will analyze her abilities in detail.
    Exclusive Light Column: The Thankless Coronation
    Saber’s exclusive light column, titled “A Thankless Coronation,” not only enhances her base attributes but also grants her powerful combat capabilities. The light column’s base attributes include 952.6 HP, 582.12 Attack, and 529.20 Defense. These values provide Saber with a solid foundation, ensuring she can both deal damage and survive in combat.
    The light column’s skill effects are divided into two parts:

    King of Knights: The wearer’s critical hit damage increases by 36%-72% based on the light column’s level. Additionally, when the wearer uses their ultimate skill, their Attack increases by 40%-80% based on the level.
    Special Effect: When the wearer’s energy reaches or exceeds 300 points, Saber will recover energy equal to 10% of her energy cap and gain a 40%-80% increase in Attack for 2 turns.

    This light column’s design fully embodies Saber’s qualities as a damage-dealing character, enhancing both her personal output and the team’s sustained combat ability through its energy recovery mechanism.
    Normal Attack: Founder of the Wind Domain
    Saber’s normal attack, “Wind King’s Barrier,” deals damage equivalent to 100% of her Attack to a single enemy. While this attack may seem straightforward, it provides the foundation for her other skills.
    Notably, when Saber uses her ultimate skill, “Golden Royal Authority,” she gains 2 points of “Furnace Resonance” and deals 150% of her Attack as wind-attribute damage to all enemies. If the number of enemies is 2 or fewer, she deals an additional 150%/70% of her Attack as damage. This mechanism allows Saber to deliver strong output against both single and multiple enemies.
    Battle Skill: The Storm of the Iron Hammer
    Saber’s battle skill, “Wind King’s Hammer,” deals 150% of her Attack as wind-attribute damage to a single enemy and also affects nearby enemies, dealing 75% of her Attack as damage. More importantly, this skill is closely tied to the “Furnace Resonance” mechanism. When Saber has “Furnace Resonance,” using this skill will consume these resonance points to potentially restore full energy. The damage multiplier of the skill increases by 14% for each resonance point consumed. If energy cannot be fully restored, Saber will immediately gain 2 points of “Furnace Resonance.”
    This skill’s design is ingenious, encouraging players to use abilities strategically while creating a complete cycle of resonance point consumption and acquisition.
    Ultimate Skill: The Sword of Victory’s Oath
    Saber’s ultimate skill, “The Sword of Victory’s Oath,” is undoubtedly one of her most powerful abilities. She will deal damage to all enemies, showcasing her true strength as the “King of the Wind.”

  • Frost Blade Silkcock’s Martial Arts

    Frost Sword Shadow: The Martial Arts Legend of Si Keke
    Between heaven and earth, martial arts are like the vast galaxy, each showing its own uniqueness and excelling in its own field. The swordsman who is about to descend on the earth, Si Keke, has created a shocking swordsmanship system with his unique combination of ice element and one-handed sword. This swordsmanship is not just a simple ice element damage, but also a martial arts inheritance that integrates the essence of the extremely evil swordsmanship. In this article, we will analyze the origin, weapons, skills and growth path of this ice element swordsman in detail.
    1. The origin of Si Keke’s life
    Si Keke is a five-star ice element one-handed swordsman. Her martial arts bonus attribute is critical damage, with a base of 38.4%. This makes her more inclined to explosive high critical damage in terms of output. Her inherent attribute is ice element, which, combined with her one-handed sword, makes her sense of rhythm and explosiveness in battle very attractive.
    2. Exclusive weapon: Cang Yao
    Every top martial artist has his own matching weapon, and Si Ke Ke’s exclusive weapon, Cang Yao, is the perfect partner for this set of swordsmanship. The basic attack power of this sword is 608, and it has a high critical hit rate of 33.1%. More importantly, this sword is endowed with the special ability of “Blessing of Baishan”. This ability will last for 12 seconds after casting the elemental combat skill, increasing the attack power by 24% per second. When the elemental energy of the wearer is 0, this effect will be superimposed with a 24% attack power increase and a 40% critical damage increase. This mechanism allows Si Ke Ke to burst out amazing output capabilities under certain conditions.
    3. The foundation of swordsmanship: Extremely evil skills·Broken
    The foundation of Si Ke Ke’s swordsmanship is called “Extremely evil skills·Broken”, which is the foundation and core of her martial arts system. This set of swordsmanship includes several actions that best reflect the essence of the Extremely Evil Swordsmanship:
    Five-stage continuous attack: This is the basic form of the Extremely Evil Skill·Broken, which causes continuous damage output through the fastest speed and the simplest trajectory.
    Heavy attack: By consuming physical strength, Silkock will throw a spinning crystal spear. This attack not only causes damage to the enemy in front, but also is an important means for her to establish an attack rhythm.
    Falling attack: When falling in the air, Silkock will release an ice crystal shock wave to attack the enemies on the falling path and cause range damage when landing. This attack method maximizes the control of the air position.
    4. Elemental combat skills: Extremely evil skills·Flash
    Silkock’s elemental combat skills also continue the characteristics of the Extremely Evil Flow, which are divided into two forms: tap and long press:
    Tap: By tapping the skill, Silkock will gain 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and switch to the Seven Phases Flash mode. In this mode, her swordsmanship will be more agile and deadly.
    Long press: In the case of long press, Silkock also gains 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning, but this time she will enter a state of continuous rapid movement. In this state, her ability to resist interruption is greatly improved, and she can end the rapid movement early by casting the skill again. This highly maneuverable fighting style is the essence of the Extreme Evil Swordsmanship.

    V. Elemental Burst: Extreme Evil Skill·Destruction
    Silkker’s elemental burst is called “Extreme Evil Skill·Destruction”, which is a special skill that does not rely on elemental energy but on the cunning of the snake. When Silkker accumulates at least 50 points of the cunning of the snake, she can cast this final

  • A complete guide to Saber development in Star Railway from breakthrough to light cone, creating the strongest knight

    A new chapter of Star Dome Railway: A guide to Saber’s development
    Chapter 1: A new legend of the Star Continent
    In Star Dome Railway, every character is like a star in the sky, shining brightly. Saber is a new star that is about to bloom and will surely light up the sky. As a pioneer who has walked on this star continent for many years, are you ready to welcome this upcoming knight?
    Every character in Star Dome Railway is unique, like the brightest star in the night sky. Saber’s arrival is like a meteor across the sky, illuminating this star continent. Under this vast sky, we will explain in detail how this new hero can become the most dazzling existence under your leadership.
    Chapter 2: The way of growth of knights
    In this star continent, cultivating a powerful knight is like cultivating a peerless master. Saber’s growth path requires your careful care and careful preparation. From basic breakthroughs to exclusive light cones, each link requires specific preparation, just like forging a sword, which requires thousands of hammers and tempers.
    In this long process of cultivation, the preparation of materials is the most critical link. Just like a chef needs to select each ingredient when making a family secret recipe, we also need to carefully prepare each material when cultivating Saber. These materials are not only the cornerstone of Saber’s growth, but also the ladder for you to become a master on this star continent.
    Chapter 3: The Road to Light Cone
    Saber’s exclusive Light Cone – “Coronation without Reward” is a symbol of the power of this knight and an important guarantee of the strength of your team. To upgrade this Light Cone from the basics to the final glory, you need to prepare the following materials: Instinct of Plunder, Ambition of Tampering, Will of Trampling, Buli Fang, Wolf Poison Saw Fang, Moon Mad Fang, and a large number of credit points. These materials are like the keys to light up the Light Cone, and each one is indispensable.
    Chapter 4: The Road to Breakthrough
    Saber’s road to breakthrough is like climbing a mountain. Each stop requires effort to reach the next stop. From level 20 to level 70, each stage requires a different combination of materials. The instinct of plunder, the ambition of tampering, the will of trampling, and the era of drunkenness, these materials require not only quantity but also quality. Especially the era of drunkenness, this material can be obtained through the stagnant shadow of the Pinoconi Theater. It is recommended that you prepare in advance.
    Chapter 5: The Road of Traces
    Saber’s trace system is an important part of the character’s growth. Each level of trace upgrade requires specific material support. From Buli Fang to the Destroyer’s End, each material is like a bright star, lighting up Saber’s growth path. Especially the Destroyer’s End, this material can be obtained through the copy of the support cabin. It is recommended that you brush it more.
    Chapter 6: The Way of Recharge
    In this long process of development, recharge is also an important topic. Just like you need sufficient fuel in the journey to the starry sky, proper recharge can make your game experience smoother. Treabar provides you with a variety of recharge discounts, from the fastest 3 minutes of direct storage experience to up to 20% recharge discounts. These discounts will

  • Treabar’s Anime Production for the Game ＂Genshin Impact＂ Has Begun, What is the Potential Value of the Game IP？

    Title: “Genshin Impact Animated, Enhancing the IP’s Appeal”
    Recently, the project team of Genshin Impact under miHoYo announced that it has officially launched the animated project in collaboration with Ufotable (Dishonored Table), a renowned Japanese animation production company behind hits like “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.” This marks the beginning of an animated version of Genshin Impact, which has been online for nearly two years. Ufotable is well-known for producing high-quality anime series.
    A representative from Genshin Impact stated that the animated project will continue to uphold the high-quality content standards of the game, and efforts are being made to accelerate the project’s development.
    In a special preview episode, Genshin Impact revealed the concept video for the animated project, which has garnered over four million views on Bilibili.
    The production of anime is a long and costly process, often considered a high-risk, low-reward venture. However, miHoYo’s decision to animate Genshin Impact, how will it perform financially? “miHoYo will not pursue profitability with this animated project, but it does not mean that the project cannot be profitable. Ultimately, it will depend on the scale of investment and commercial strategy,” noted Li Xu Hua, a senior analyst at iResearch, a cultural consumption industry analysis firm, to Caixin.
    After its global release, Genshin Impact generated a ten-billion-dollar revenue in just 171 days on mobile devices, without including expenditures through third-party Android stores. The company took another 195 days to reach a second ten-billion-dollar milestone and 185 days for the third, averaging 10 billion dollars in revenue every six months. This makes Genshin Impact one of the most successful mobile games in history.
    Can Genshin Impact’s revenue support the significant investment needed for future animated production and release? Using “League of Legends: Spartacus” as an example, a game-to-anime project that took six years from the initial concept in 2015 to its premiere in 2021, with substantial investments in manpower, resources, and finances. In October 2021, Riot Games spent over $14 million on advertising to promote the “Spartacus” anime series. This figure alone does not include production costs.
    Nonetheless, “Spartacus” proved to be a successful venture for Riot Games, with the series topping the Netflix global rankings in its debut month and ranking among the top ten in 52 countries and regions for three consecutive weeks. It also achieved a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. After its release in China, the animated series has frequently appeared on Weibo’s trending list and been praised by players as “the pinnacle of game-to-anime adaptations,” increasing awareness and interest in League of Legends.
    Li Xu Hua believes that compared to action games, RPGs like Genshin Impact have a stronger narrative and a solid foundation for creating IP content, making them adaptable. This animated version of Genshin Impact is not produced by miHoYo itself, but in collaboration with Ufotable. Li Xu Hua stated that miHoYo is a game company, and while animation intersects with games, they are fundamentally different production lines. Not only miHoYo, but most domestic game companies outsource their animated content to specialized animation studios.
    He believes that miHoYo is primarily interested in Ufotable’s production capabilities. Ufotable is renowned for its high-quality animated films, including “Demon Slayer: Infinity Train,” which grossed over $500 million worldwide and topped the box office in 2020. Other notable works by Ufotable include “Fate/Zero,” “Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works,” and “Hotaru no Haka The X.”
    “Ufotable stepping in, at least in terms of animation, is impressive,” a player commented on the animated concept video on Bilibili.
    All for the IP. The animated version of Genshin Impact is aimed at enriching the IP’s content and influence. As long as the IP maintains a robust vitality, there are still many ways to make money. Since its launch on September 28, 2020, Genshin Impact has become one of the most successful

  • Build a small city for Xiakong to grow up at the intersection of wind and tide

    The night is like water, and the sound of the tide is heard from afar.
    You sit alone at the table, and the glass of the screen reflects your faint shadow.
    That is your affectionate waiting for a girl in a virtual world-Xiakong.
    This waiting is not a fierce feat, but a kind of tenderness like the tide, slowly spreading.

    1. Watch: The call of the unknown
    The first time you heard the name “Xiakong” was in the introduction of a version update.
    That name, only a few words, is like a glimmer in the summer sky, shining into people’s hearts.
    You began to think: What kind of person would she be?
    What kind of story would she carry?
    So you decided to prepare a meeting gift for her-that is, the collection of materials.

    You clicked on the “Overview of Growth Materials from Level 0 to 90” and saw:

    29 low-frequency tidal sail cores

    40 medium-frequency tidal sail cores

    52 high-frequency tidal sail cores

    61 full-frequency tidal sail cores

    46 pieces of burning phosphorus bones

    26 copies of iris blooming day

    60 bundles of golden fleece

    25 impure crystallized phlogists

    28 crude crystallized phlogists

    55 distilled crystallized phlogists

    67 high-purity crystallized phlogists

    122 doses of special resonance accelerators

    3,053,300 shell coins

    These cold words have become soft in your eyes.

    They form a box waiting to be opened, filled with your expectations and patience for her.

    2. Tenth level: Every monster spawn is a silent accumulation

    You started a simple but determined journey.
    Go online every day and repeat those dungeons: defeat the Sighing Ancient Dragon to obtain “Burning Phosphorus Bone”; complete the weekly task to obtain “Iris Blooming Day”; search the map to pick up the sail core; buy in the store to accumulate “Golden Fleece”.

    You use scripts to count efficiency, use notes to record progress, and also feel the slight throbbing every time you drop.

    “Super Resonance Accelerator × 122”
    You know, this is not just a number, but the growth energy you put together for her.

    This is not an obsession, but a long-term companionship –
    You accompany this world of tide music, and also accompany yourself to some completeness.

    3. Casting armor: Build a solid armor for her with your heart
    Not only does growth require materials, but her weapons must also be given meaning.

    A weapon with memory attached seems to give every dream chaser a trust.

    6 simple shackles

    6 basic shackles

    10 modified shackles

    12 special shackles

    40 crystallized phlogists

    330,000 shells

    You know clearly: these shackles are not restraints, but armor.
    It makes her no longer tremble when facing the wind and waves, and also reflects your slightly trembling heartbeat in front of the keyboard.

    4. Go deep: build her circuit and take care of your inner self
    There are deeper secrets in her resonance circuit:
    Each layer of resonance is a process of dialogue with the world and yourself.
    You prepare for this:

    More than 150 four types of sail cores

    A total of 175 phlogists

    26 copies of the day when the iris blooms

    2,030,000 shells

    You lower your head to mine in the abyss of “Condensate Field·Confession Abyss”, and also look up to explore in the challenge of “Wheel of Fate Fragmentation”
    You know, this is not only to increase her strength, but also an exercise for you to get along with yourself, your fear and vulnerability.

    5. The middle world: virtual and real
    Some people say: games are just games.
    But you see that it is another possibility.
    When you invest these time, resources and patience for her, you are also saying to yourself:
    I still have the ability to pay for my ideals, and I have the courage to persevere.

    You don’t expect her to respond, nor do you pursue vanity and show off.
    When you see the number of materials you have accumulated in the game jumping, what you see is: the seriousness you still have.

    6. About the ending: Whether she is online or not, it is a gift
    Maybe when she finally appears in the character pool, you can draw her.
    At that moment, what is refreshed on the screen is not only the character portrait, but also the response of your waiting in your heart.
    You will feel: everything is worth it.

    But it is also possible that she is like fireworks, just a fleeting light in your heart. After confirming that you can’t draw, you will still smile.
    Because what you do for her is valuable without rewards.
    They make you sober and let you see the patience and tenderness you have shown.

    7. Looking back: leaving gentle footprints at the end of the tide

    When you close the game and return to reality, in the dead of night,
    you will still lick that process in your heart:

    “How many monsters did I kill for her?”

    “How much phlogiston did I accumulate?”

    “How many shells do I have left?”

    These become the negatives of your conversation with yourself.

    They record a complete emotional trajectory that no one knows about.

    You built a bridge between the tides of virtuality and reality.

    On the bridge, you placed trust;

    Under the bridge, the tide silently hits the shore.

    This is the city of growth you built for Xiakong, a city of tenderness and a period of watch.

    It is not shining, but it is real enough.

    It is not vigorous, but it can warm your heart that you don’t want to give up.

  • A delicate description of the complex world and loneliness of the character material of Mingchao Xiakong

    Xiakong, a name in the game, is as cool as the wind on a summer night, but with a hint of sadness. Her list of cultivation materials, seemingly cold numbers and props, is like a delicate map, depicting a lonely and deep world. Perhaps, this is the epitome of our modern life: finding meaning in day-to-day repetition, trying to talk to yourself in constant collection and improvement.

    In the game, Xiakong’s breakthrough materials are so complicated that it is a headache-low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency, full frequency tide erosion sail core, as well as burning phosphorus bones and golden wool. They are not just a string of names, but like a story chapter waiting to be unlocked. When players chase these materials, they unconsciously embark on a lonely journey. The repeatedly refreshed copies on the map seem to be countless times through the midnight streets, with footsteps and heartbeats intertwined into a low rhythm.

    You need to brush crystallized phlogiston in the “Condensate Field·Confession Abyss”, from rough to pure, as if filtering the impurities in your heart. Confession Abyss, the name itself carries a certain religious solemnity, as if you are confessing to yourself, or trying to understand the invisible self. Every time you defeat an enemy, it is not only a challenge to the game, but also more like a reconciliation with yourself.

    Golden Fleece, this mythical name reminds people of a distant treasure hunt. Its scarcity and purchase restrictions make people anxious. Players searched repeatedly in the Lina Xi Tower and exchanged it carefully in the pharmacy store in Laguna City. Every acquisition of Golden Fleece is like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and precious. It symbolizes hope and also symbolizes the limitations of reality.

    The “Day of Iris Blooming” in the game is a wonderful existence. Iris flowers slowly bloom at sunrise, and the beauty of that moment is short and eternal. Players must obtain it in the challenge of “Wheel of Fate Fragment”, a process full of uncertainty and expectations. It symbolizes the cycle of fate, and also the fragility and tenacity of life.

    When you turn your eyes away from the materials themselves and focus on the small props that exist to improve efficiency, such as “stuffed meat tofu”, you will find a deeper metaphor. It increases the material drop rate by 50% for 30 minutes. Harvesting as much as possible in a limited time is a portrayal of the rhythm of modern life: fast, compact, and full of pressure. Players reach a tacit understanding with the game in this way, and also feel a sense of illusory victory in the process of racing against time.

    The recharge system and discount codes are the other side of this world. They remind us that the virtual world is also bound by the rules of reality. Players use real currency to exchange for in-game resources, as if they have exchanged their own life time for another sense of existence. That sense of gain is real and illusory, which makes people both satisfied and empty.

    Xia Kong’s growth trajectory is not just a digital game, it is a road that constantly peels off the surface and reaches the core. In this process, players not only develop their characters, but also develop themselves invisibly: understanding of persistence, patience for waiting, and grasp of hope.

    Haruki Murakami once wrote: “There is a cat living in everyone’s heart.” Perhaps, Xiasora’s material system is like that cat, quietly hiding in the heart of every player, waiting to be discovered and understood. In this virtual space, we are looking for some kind of resonance, as if looking for the response of the cat in our hearts.

    Perhaps it is because of this that Mingchao and Xiasora have a special meaning. It is not just a game, not just growth, but also a companionship on a lonely journey, a metaphor of life.

    And we, on this journey, have also learned how to dance with loneliness and how to find simple warmth in a complex world.

  • The spiritual dilemma behind modern entertainment consumption from the complicated list of materials for cultivating Xiakong in Mingchao

    Today, the game industry is in full swing, and electronic games have become a refuge for many young people to escape reality. However, by carefully examining the list of materials for cultivating Xiakong, a five-star resonator in a popular game “Mingchao”, we can get a glimpse of the layers of spiritual dilemmas behind the current entertainment consumption culture. The materials required for Xiakong to upgrade from level 0 to level 90 are like an intricate net, which tightly binds players in the mechanical cycle of “cultivation”, and the sense of accomplishment is overwhelmed by endless repeated brushing, material collection and consumption.

    The complexity of the materials is incredible. Low-frequency, medium-frequency, high-frequency and even full-frequency tide erosion sail cores, from quantity to level, are progressive, with gorgeous but tiring materials such as burning phosphorus bones, golden wool, and iris blooming day, which makes people almost forget that this is a game, not a labor list of some modern purgatory. The so-called “cultivation” has long changed from easy character growth to an endless struggle with time and energy. Every player seems to be in front of the assembly line of modern society, constantly repeating the mechanical actions of “defeating the sighing ancient dragon” and “brushing the crystallized phlogiston”. There is neither fun nor autonomy, just to satisfy the addictive numerical improvement.

    Such a design can’t help but make people think deeply. Is this the ingenuity of the game developers, or a deformed product of the contemporary entertainment consumption model? The game has become a kind of “modern hard labor”, which makes people addicted to it, but they can’t get real spiritual satisfaction. The consumption of coins and the accumulation of materials are just like the bottomless pit of constantly pursuing material and fame in real life, getting deeper and deeper. Players desperately save the so-called “golden fleece” in the virtual world, but they don’t know that they are also bound by countless virtual goals in reality and can’t extricate themselves.

    It is worth pondering that a dish of “stuffed meat tofu” is also designed in the game, which can temporarily improve the efficiency of material drop. Behind the short-term “acceleration” is a longer period of grinding and waiting. Just like the Chinese in Lu Xun’s writings, they are always eager for change, but they are trapped by the shackles of tradition and the burden of society, and they are always difficult to break free. Players rely on the short-term effect of stuffed meat tofu, just like people in reality rely on temporary placebos. In the face of helpless life pressure and time consumption, they get temporary pleasure, but they can’t really get rid of it.

    The material “Golden Fleece” in the game is even more intriguing. In legend, it represents a symbol of wealth and power, but here, it is restricted to a luxury item, and only fifteen can be purchased per week, just like the resources monopolized by capital and rules in reality, which ordinary people desire but cannot reach. The game designer reminds players that success is not easy to come by, and behind it is arduous investment and competition. In this process, players may fall into the endless pursuit of virtual “wealth” and ignore the real spiritual growth in real life.

    In addition, the classification of crystallized phlogiston – impurities, crude extraction, distillation, and high purity, reminds people of the obsession with “perfection” in modern society. Whether it is academic, professional, or life, everyone is kidnapped by the standards of “better”, “higher”, and “purer”, constantly exploiting their time and energy, but in the end they get spiritual fatigue and confusion. Isn’t the “cultivation” in the game a microcosm of the “self-improvement” process in reality? It’s just that this process has been frozen by the program and turned into mechanical and repetitive labor.

    If you think about it carefully, this huge list of materials is actually a reflection of the mental state of modern people. People pursue glory and achievements in the virtual world, but are trapped by tedious tasks and lose the ability to enjoy the process. As Lu Xun revealed the social ills, modern people’s entertainment is not really resting, but working in another sense; games are no longer a paradise for relaxation, but another form of “workplace”.

    Therefore, we can’t help but ask, what is the real meaning of the game? Is it to provide a short escape, or should it guide people to better understand themselves and release pressure? Behind the list of Xiakong’s cultivation materials in “Mingchao”, there is a contradiction in contemporary entertainment culture: it is both addictive and tiring; it satisfies vanity and exhausts enthusiasm. How players can maintain themselves and find real fun and meaning in this endless “cultivation” is a question worth pondering.

    In summary, the cultivation system of Xiakong in Mingchao seems to be meticulous and comprehensive, but it reflects the various drawbacks of the modern entertainment consumption model. The complicated materials and high-intensity repetitive labor are like a mirror, reflecting the anxious, confused and distressed mental state of modern people. Only by recognizing this can players and designers jointly explore a healthier and more meaningful game path. Otherwise, we are just small gears in this mechanical cycle, always running around, but unable to truly reach the other side of the soul.

  • From the complexity and diversity of the materials for the cultivation of Mingchao Xiakong to the reflection of modern people’s spiritual dilemma and social reality

    Nowadays, electronic games are becoming increasingly popular and have become an indispensable part of young people’s daily life. In the newly launched game “Mingchao”, the cultivation materials of the five-star resonator Xiakong are diverse and complicated. Counting the low-frequency, medium-frequency, high-frequency and even full-frequency tide erosion sail cores, as well as the burning phosphorus bones, golden wool and various crystallized phlogists, it takes dozens or even hundreds of them, which makes people think deeply about the meaning and reality behind it.

    Xiakong’s cultivation materials, like the various complex conditions faced by people in this modern society, are extremely demanding and extremely costly. The digital game world is bright on the surface, but it actually hides the deep spiritual anxiety and confusion of human beings about the future. Players repeatedly run around on this road piled with numbers, slaying monsters and collecting, just like ordinary people who run around for their livelihoods in reality, but are temporarily blinded by the virtual halo and sense of achievement.

    To obtain the “Burning Phosphorus Bone”, one must defeat the Sighing Ancient Dragon. The name is like the oppression of reality: sighing, burning, and suffering, like an invisible poison, devouring people’s enthusiasm and hope. The Sighing Ancient Dragon is difficult to defeat, and the Burning Phosphorus Bone is extremely rare, suggesting that success in reality is never easy to obtain. People have failed countless times in virtual and real life, and the sigh in their hearts is like the “Sighing Ancient Dragon”, which is difficult to dissipate.

    The name “Golden Fleece” is quite symbolic. It is shining with gold, but the purchase is limited to 15. This is not only a limitation of game design, but also a portrayal of unfair resource allocation and scarce opportunities in real society. Whoever can own the Golden Fleece can reach the peak of success, while ordinary people can only sigh in despair and work in vain. What’s more infuriating is that even if you have money, you can’t buy more. The “Golden Fleece” has become an ideal luxury, which makes people bitter.

    The recharge discount code “Treabarblog3ge” appears repeatedly. Merchants use the players’ love for Xiakong to design various temptations and traps to harvest players’ time and money. This scene is just like the plunder of human desires by modern capital. It looks sweet on the surface, but it is actually cold and ruthless. Digital entertainment has become a slave to capital. Players are exploited in consumption, and happiness has become cheaper and more short-lived.

    The materials of the resonance circuit are stacked layer by layer from impure crystallized phlogiston to high-purity crystallized phlogiston, which requires a lot of shells and time. This is not only the design ingenuity of the game, but also a microcosm of the complex social structure and rules and regulations in reality. In order to achieve a higher status, people continue to climb, spend time and energy, but are still bound by various restrictions and difficult to break free.

    The name of the “Confession Abyss” dungeon deeply implies the inner world of the player. Confession means repentance and reflection, and the abyss is as lonely and helpless as the abyss. In this virtual world, players examine themselves in challenges and try to break free from the shackles of reality, but they can’t escape the fate of loneliness. Perhaps this is a true portrayal of the spiritual dilemma of modern people. They have abundant material resources but are spiritually empty, and their hearts are full of confusion and fear.

    Enhancing props such as stuffed meat tofu may seem insignificant, but they bring short-term warmth and comfort to players during their journey. This reminds me of the tiny joys and hopes in reality. Although life is hard, there are always some small happiness that makes people persevere. Although these details are inconspicuous, they shine with the brilliance of humanity in the cruel reality.

    In summary, the complexity of the cultivation materials of Mingchao Xiakong is not only a game design, but also a reflection of the spiritual dilemma of people in modern society. Players constantly swipe materials in the virtual world, just as people in reality struggle for survival and ideals, but are often bound by invisible shackles. Spiritual sighs, scarcity of resources, capital exploitation, and the abyss of loneliness, all of this constitutes a panoramic view of today’s society.

    If you don’t see the deep meaning, it is undoubtedly superficial to only regard games as entertainment. Just like the old Chinese society described by Mr. Lu Xun, the complexity and cruelty of the game world are also a microcosm of our era. Only by facing this dilemma can we find our own outlet and hope between virtuality and reality.

  • [Genshin Impact] Xitrali Comprehensive Development Guide: Unlocking Her Frost Power and Support Potential

     

    Xitrali, a five-star ice elemental magic weapon character, has attracted widespread attention in “Genshin Impact” for her unique support ability and elemental mastery mechanism. She can not only provide a solid shield for teammates, but also use the characteristics of ice elements to control the enemy’s resistance and improve the output effect of the entire team. In this development guide, we will deeply analyze Xitrali’s talents, best weapons, holy relics and team matching strategies to help you maximize her potential and create the strongest Xitrali.

    1. Xitrali’s talents: core skills of support characters
    As a support character, Xitrali’s elemental combat skills are her most critical skills in her talent system. Her elemental combat skill “White Shield” can not only provide powerful shield protection for teammates, but also continuously cause ice element damage off the field. This skill allows her to not only resist enemy attacks, but also provide buffs to teammates through elemental reactions. Therefore, improving elemental combat skills should be your first priority when training Xitrali.

    Xitrali’s elemental burst “Night Soul Burst” is also of high value, which can restore her Night Soul value and cause ice element damage to surrounding enemies. Although the damage of this skill is not as outstanding as the elemental combat skills, it can bring Xitrali a higher skill cycle efficiency. Therefore, the elemental burst should also be moderately improved after the elemental combat skills are improved.

    Since ordinary attacks are not frequently used in Xitrali’s skills, they can be used as the last target for improvement.

    2. Best weapons: improve elemental mastery and support effects
    Xitrali’s weapon selection should focus on enhancing her elemental mastery, shield strength and support capabilities. The following are several weapons suitable for her:

    1. Star Worshiper’s Hope (five-star weapon)
    Star Worshiper’s Hope is Xitrali’s best weapon. It not only provides a high elemental mastery bonus, but also provides damage bonus to the characters in the team within 15 seconds after creating a shield. This effect allows Xitrali to provide shields while also increasing the output of teammates, making it her best support weapon.

    2. Thousand Nights Floating Dream (Five-star Substitute Weapon)
    Thousand Nights Floating Dream is also a five-star weapon suitable for Xitrali. It can provide benefits to Xitrali according to the elemental types of other characters in the team, further enhancing her support capabilities. Especially in multi-element teams, the effect of this weapon is particularly significant.

    3. Sacrifice Fragment (Four-star Weapon)
    The passive effect of Sacrifice Fragment “Sacrifice Rebirth” can reset the skill cooldown with a certain probability when elemental combat skills cause damage, which allows Xitrali to provide shields to teammates more frequently and cause ice element damage. For players who want to improve the efficiency of skill cycles, Sacrifice Fragment is a very good choice.

    4. Prototype Amber (Four-star Weapon)
    The passive skill of Prototype Amber can help Xitrali quickly restore elemental energy, so that elemental bursts can be used more frequently. The HP bonus provided by this weapon can also improve Xitrali’s survivability, and is suitable for battles that require frequent elemental energy recovery.

    3. Best Relics: Enhance Elemental Mastery and Shield Strength
    Xitrali’s relic selection should focus on improving her elemental mastery and shield strength. Here are several relic sets suitable for her:

    1. Instructor Set
    The Instructor Set is one of the most suitable relics for Xitrali. It can significantly improve Xitrali’s elemental mastery, and when the elemental reaction is triggered, it can also increase the elemental damage bonus of teammates. For teams that focus on elemental reactions, the Instructor Set can greatly enhance Xitrali’s support effect.

    2. Thousand Rocks Solid Set
    The Thousand Rocks Solid Set increases Xitrali’s HP and shield strength, allowing her to provide a stronger shield for teammates in battle. This set is very suitable for improving Xitrali’s survivability and making her a better support role in battle.

    3. Dream of the Golden Jewel Set
    The Dream of the Golden Jewel Set can improve Xitlal’s elemental mastery and enhance her attack power. Its four-piece effect can increase Xitlal’s damage output according to the other character types in the team, while increasing the attack power and elemental mastery of teammates. This set is very suitable for enhancing her overall support ability.

    4. Best team: the best match of fire and water element characters
    Xitlal’s skills can reduce the enemy’s fire and water resistance, so she plays a very prominent role in fire and water element teams.

    Fire element team match
    When paired with fire element characters such as Walnut and Xiao Gong, Xitlal can greatly increase the damage output of fire element characters through ice and fire reaction. In this team match, Xitlal can not only provide shield protection for teammates, but also trigger higher damage through ice and fire reaction.

    Water element team match
    Xitlal is also very powerful when paired with water element characters. She can provide buffs to water characters, while reducing the enemy’s water resistance and improving the output of water characters. For water characters such as Jean or Lisa, Xitrali can help them trigger more powerful elemental reactions.

    V. Conclusion: Xitrali’s comprehensive support capabilities and tactical value
    As a support character in “Genshin Impact”, Xitrali plays a vital role in battle through her powerful shield, elemental reaction and ice output capabilities. Through reasonable weapon selection, holy relic matching and team matching strategy, players can maximize her potential and make her an indispensable member of the team. Whether it is defense, control or output, Xitrali can provide strong support to teammates, making your adventure smoother.

  • Genshin Impact Version 5.3: The battle between fire and ice, Mavica and Sitrali are coming

     

    Genshin Impact has received a major update in version 5.3, and the addition of new characters has made this already colorful world even more colorful. This time, Mavica and Sitrali, representing the power of fire and ice respectively, will embark on a new adventure with players. With the debut of these two new characters, the card pool of version 5.3 has also undergone many adjustments and updates, and players will usher in new opportunities and challenges.

    ### The power of fire and ice collide: Mavica and Sitrali

    Mavica and Sitrali have completely different positions in the game, but they both demonstrate the charm of elemental power in a unique way. Mavica is a fire attribute greatsword character who is good at standing on the field and outputs. Her ability is to quickly defeat the enemy by releasing the power of fire. Sitrali is an ice attribute magic shield auxiliary character, focusing on protecting teammates and causing ranged ice elemental damage. The appearance of both not only enriches the players’ tactical options, but also makes the combat system of “Genshin Impact” more diversified.

    ### Mavica – the embodiment of the power of fire

    Mavica, as the incarnation of the god of fire, is powerful and fiery. Her elemental combat skills can be activated by tapping and long pressing. Tapping will allow her to attack in coordination with the enemy, while long pressing will add fire attribute effects to herself, allowing her to play the main C role in battle. Her elemental burst skills rely on fighting spirit rather than the traditional energy system. This innovative design makes her very strategic in battle. When Mavica’s fighting spirit reaches 50%, she can consume all of her fighting spirit and release a powerful elemental burst skill, which increases her attack power and anti-interruption ability while causing huge damage.

    In addition to her powerful output ability, Mavica also has a unique exploration talent – motorcycle skills. She can ride a motorcycle on the ground quickly, and even go up a mountain or fly in the air, making her one of the strongest exploration characters in the world of “Genshin Impact”.

    ### Xitlal – Guardian of Ice and Snow

    Unlike Mavica’s flame, Xitlal represents ice and snow and protection. As an ice-attributed instrument character, Xitlal has a strong shield support ability. Her elemental combat skills can provide teammates with a white shield to protect them from damage. What’s more unique is that Xitlal’s shield can not only resist attacks, but also inflict ice damage to the enemy, making her the enemy’s nemesis.

    Xitlal’s elemental burst skill can summon the skull of the spirit, causing range ice damage and restoring night soul value for Xitlal. Her skill mechanism is very suitable for long-term battles. It can provide strong protection and restore resources for the team, allowing her to shine in a variety of combat situations.

    ### Lan Yan – The Leader of Wind

    In this update, the four-star character Lan Yan has also received much attention. As a wind-attributed instrument character, she has strong control and defense capabilities. Her elemental combat skills can provide her with a shield, and the strength of the shield increases with her attack power. Her elemental burst skill can create a feathered swallow formation, attracting surrounding enemies and objects, causing multiple range wind damage. The appearance of Lan Yan provides players with a character who can both protect the team and output damage, greatly enriching the card pool selection.

    ### The return of the “Collection of Wishes” card pool in version 5.3 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated contents by players. This time, the collection of wishes will be themed on Liyue characters, including Xiao, Ganyu, Baishu, Keqing and Qiqi, who are popular among players. And Tartaglia may also appear in this card pool, and players are expected to get more favorite characters through card drawing.

    ### The exposure of new skins-Hu Tao and Xiangling’s gorgeous transformation

    In addition to character updates and card pool changes, version 5.3 also brings another highlight-Hu Tao and Xiangling’s new skins. These two skins will be launched during this year’s Lantern Festival. Although the specific design has not yet been revealed, players are already looking forward to it. As popular characters, Hu Tao and Xiangling’s skin updates will definitely add new charm to them and further enhance the player’s gaming experience.

    ### Conclusion – A New Adventure

    With the addition of Mavica and Sitrali, the card pool of “Genshin Impact” version 5.3 ushered in new powerful characters. The return of the “Collection of Wishes” card pool gives players the opportunity to get their favorite Liyue characters. In this version, players will usher in richer game content and updates, and will also experience more combat strategies and challenges. Whether it is the collision of fire and ice and snow, or the collaboration of wind and shield, version 5.3 will bring endless fun and surprises to every player.
