Version 1.4 leaks have unveiled significant changes to Miyabi's Kit. Here is everything you need to know!

Hoshimi Miyabi is one of the most eagerly awaited agents. While we have some information about her kit, it appears that things are still in development. According to the latest leaks by Leifa, there have been a few major changes:

It's important to note that the Basic Attack - Frost Moon Anomaly buildup nerf mentioned in the Reddit post above has already been reverted.

Her Core Skill Enhancement Stat being Anomaly Proficiency (AP) is an intriguing choice, and we will likely need to wait until her release or for official information to understand the direction they are taking with this.

Another significant change is that her additional ability now requires a Support or faction squad member, instead of an Anomaly or faction squad member.

Whether this is setting the stage for a future support agent who will pair perfectly with her is currently unknown. It could possibly be Astra Yao or one of the Idol faction members, but these are just speculations for now.

Find out what's new in Heroes of the Storm during Warcraft's 30th anniversary!

Anniversary Background

A new background is available in the game when you log in.

All 43 Warcraft Heroes Available for Play

All Warcraft Heroes are available for play completely free this week. If you'd like to earn some gold, this is a really good opportunity to bring them all to Level 5!

Faction-Themed Bundles

You can purchase faction-themed bundles in Heroes of the Storm.

For the Alliance bundle includes Muradin and Varian, 6 skins and 3 mounts.

For the Horde bundle contains Rehgar, Garrosh, 6 skins, and 3 mounts.

Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest

When you buy the recently-announced battle chest, you will receive Jaina, Thrall, Anub'arak, and Tyrande in Heroes of the Storm!

Hearthstone is taking a bold step into the StarCraft universe with "Heroes of StarCraft: The Great Dark Beyond," a 49-card mini-set launching in January 2025.

Featuring iconic factions like Zerg, Protoss, and Terran, complete with legendary leaders Sarah Kerrigan, Artanis, Jim Raynor, this set blends StarCraft nostalgia with Hearthstone's gameplay.

Additionally, Arena Mode is getting a massive overhaul, introducing shorter Normal Arena runs and a high-stakes Underground Arena with a game matching "re-draft on loss" mechanic, giving you the option to re-draft cards, edit your deck, and keep your run alive, after you lose.

The year ahead promises 3 expansions, including the Emerald Dream's battle between Old Gods and Druids, a return to Un'Goro Crater, and a Chromie-led journey through alternate realities.

New Drive Discs have leaked from the 1.4 Beta, including one that fits perfectly for Miyabi!

According to the latest leaks, two new Drive Discs should be released with Version 1.4 of the game:

The first one seems efficient for squads that are using a lot of Quick Assist, as it will give a huge damage boost to the character entering through Quick Assit. This bonus is suppose to "last seconds", which means it could probably last indefinitely as repeated triggers refresh the duration.

The second set seems more focused to specially fit Miyabi! This set will be a huge boost to Miyabi's power, and will definitely be worth farming for if you pull for Miyabi!

Miyabi and Harumasa will both have their Best-in-Slot W-Engines, and here is a first look at the weapons, as well as their powers!

All the S-Rank Agents in Zenless Zone Zero always come with their specific W-Engine, and this is also true for Version 1.4 Agents Miyabi and Harumasa! Here is a first look at the W-Engine's visuals:

In the reddit post you can also see a third weapon that should be a new A-Rank W-Engine!

Additionally, leaks have also revealed the two S-Rank W-Engine's passives! The first one, The Palace of Falling Stars, is for Miyabi, and the second one, The Broken Heart, is for Harumasa:

Harumasa's W-Engine is most likely help him reach his Crit Rate cap, even without counting possible rolls on Drive Discs, allowing you to cap ATK with the Discs, making it a great W-Engine to get if you pull for Harumasa. 

Miyabi's W-Engine will also be extremely powerful for her, as it increases her ice attribute critical hit damage, as well as her ice attribute damage. You can stack two layers, that both last 15 seconds, and the duration of each layer is calculated separately, making it very powerful for the wearer!

The 1.4 upcoming Agent Harumasa will most likely be free, and some of his abilities where changed! here is what you need to know!

Until now, the Leaks were not confirming whether Harumasa would be given for Free or not, but the more we get closer to 1.4, the more information is leaked about a possible Free Harumasa.

Latest leaks show that we will be able to get him for free by completing 1.4 in-game answers, most likely related to a specific activity that we do not know off just yet. 

The acquisition method may change upon release, and keep in mind that it has not been confirmed officially that Harumasa will be free!

Additionally, Harumasa's Core passive and Additional Ability have been changed:

The additional ability hints highly at a mono Electric team with Qingyi and Rina being one of the best teams for Harumasa! If he is indeed free, he will be really good for a gifted Agent!

The next Heroes of the Storm patch is now available for playtesting for one week and here are the official patch notes!

The Futures Rewritten Ultimate Raid will release soon! Here are some visuals of what the weapons rewarded for completing the raid may look like!

The new Ultimate Raid, Futures Rewritten, will release with patch 7.11.

All Ultimate raids come with amazing Weapons that usually have a very strong design, making them recognizable from afar. This way, every players knows who completed an Ultimate Raid. 

While we do not have any official visual for the Futures Rewritten weapons, here are some images of what the weapons could look like! Keep it mind that those are not the finished version. It is Dataminded information.

The VFX was found on Offhands weapons, and applied to the other weapons. These are not the actual weapon textures, models are the base weapons for reference, and the VFX may be unfinished, but it can give you an idea of what they will look like:

Monk

Ninja

Dancer

Viper

We have updated our comprehensive melding guides for patch 7.1! Here is everything you need to know!

For all the crafters and gatherers out there, our Final Fantasy XIV writer Shikhu has updated his two extensive guides for Crafting and Gathering Endgame Melding. 

Crafting DoH Endgame Melding BIS Patch 7.1

This guide will go over the best crafting meld sets, explaining the best-in-slot (BiS). You will find 3 different main meldsets possible for 7.1, depending on your budget, time, and crafting goals.

The High Tier Set will be the best set that offers the most value for your gear, allowing you to use less HQ materials and more efficient rotations. The accessories will also last you until patch 7.3. You will be able to craft the latest Savage Raid gear with this set. 

The Mid-Tier Meld set is a more cost efficient set that will still enable you to craft Savage Raid gear.

The Budget Meld set is more for players looking for a cheap budget set, but if you want to be ready for patch 7.2's raid crafts, then it is more recommended to go for the Mid Tier Set at least.

Gathering DoL Endgame Melding BIS Patch 7.1

This guide will go over how to gear your classes so you can gather from endgame legendary nodes.

Here again, three different Meld sets are available, depending on your budget, time and goals.

The High tier meld set is your Best-in-slot set which will last until 7.3 (with some adjustments for the future Cosmic Exploration if there is needed).

The Mid Tier set offers you easier melding but your Gatherers will have less yields.

The Budget set is simply to help you reach the minimum Perception needed to be able to gather everything in the game. This one will most likely be upgraded to script gear in patch 7.2.

Both guides are packed with detailed informations, easy-to-follow instructions, and tips from a seasoned player, making them extremely useful resources for both veteran Crafters and Gatherers, and players who want to start getting into the professions.

The brand new Ridu Chronicles Event: The Mystery of Arpeggio Fault will reward you with a specific Bangboo, if you finish it on time! Here is what you need to know!

The Mystery of Arpeggio Fault is a new event that you can play in Zenless Zone Zero.

The event will be running until December 17th, 2024. While this event is one of those part of the Ridu Chronicles (meaning you can still access the event and complete it after the time is over), some rewards are exclusive and time-limited.

One of those limited-time rewards is the new Bangboo Knightboo and his 4 Knightboo Cores. You do not want to miss out on this Bangboo as it is a very efficient Support Bangboo for your Squads.

Knightboo can recover energy and increase squad member's ATK. It also deals Ether damage.

You will not be able to obtain the Bangboo once the event is over, even if it is part of the Ridu Chronicles.

In order to help you go through this Event, we have prepared a complete guide that will help you navigate through the stages, and receive all the limited rewards!

You can head to our dedicated Mystery of Arpeggio Fault Event Guide for all the details about the different stages, as well as the Mysterious Secret Message you can find!

We already knew about Astra Yao possibly being a future playable Agent, whoever latest leaks reveal another character that may be playable in the near future!

Not long ago leaks had revealed that Astra Yao, the famous singer you can see in some places such as  Lumina Square in New Eridu, would be playable in the near future (1.5).

Another character seems to make her appearance at the same time as Astra Yao: 

Her name is Evelyn, and nothing is known about her so far. It is not a character we have seen previously in the game. 

According to the leaks, you will be able to talk to both Yao and Evelyn in the new game Hollow Zero - Lost Land game mode.

Players are trying to guess if Evelyn will be part of the same faction as Yao, if she may be something like her manager. Others think she may be another member of the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team, or part of Soldier 11's Obols Squad! 

We will of course update you as soon as more information is shared about those two future Agents!

Patch 7.1 Crossroads brings the exciting new Alliance Raid, "Echoes of Vana'diel - Jeuno: The First Walk." But how different will this raid be compared to the original Final Fantasy XI game?

This update introduces the collaboration between Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV for the Dawntrail Alliance Raid: Echoes of Vana'diel - Jeuno: The First Walk.

Reddit user RionSmash has shared some pictures that give insight into the differences between the original FFXI game and the new alliance raid for FFXIV.

The raid pays homage to the city of Jeuno from Final Fantasy XI, a central hub known for its bustling activity and significant role in the game's lore. Players familiar with FFXI will notice key landmarks and architectural styles recreated with updated graphics and design for FFXIV.

Despite the updated aesthetics, the essence of Jeuno remains recognizable! The new raid gear also mirrors the iconic FFXI designs, adding a nostalgic touch for long-time players. This alliance raid gives FFXI a well-deserved glow-up!

The development team has aimed to create a raid that not only challenges players but also celebrates the rich history of Final Fantasy XI. This includes incorporating elements like traditional music themes from FFXI, reimagined for the new raid.

The raid will release on November 12th, 2024, with patch 7.1!

Version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero will come with a new Hollow Zero mode. Latest leaks have revealed some information about it, here is what you need to know!

New information has been found through leaks about the version 1.4 New Hollow Zero mode: Lost Land.

We already know that this mode will give you access to Agent specific Resonium that will modify their gameplay, however, not much was known about the mode itself.

Latest leaks have revealed more information about the Lost Land mode:

It seems that the Hollow Zero - Lost Land will be similar to Honkai Star Rail's Simulated Universe. For players who are not familiar with Honkai Star Rail, the Simulated Universe is a rogue-like combat challenge where you navigate through different "worlds" with unique challenges, bosses, and where you can collect various blessings that will buff or debuff you during your run.

Hollow Zero - Lost Land seems to follow the same idea: no Tv's, only areas where you will get various buffs or debuffs during your run, and you will have to defeat different bosses or enemies. The final boss seems to be Nineveh again, hinting at a rather hard challenge. Some resonias are not categorized, such as:

• Overclocked Boundary Mode: Significantly increases damage (20% Attack and Crit Dmg boost), but ends if hit even once (even with a shield).
• Blood Reaping Mark: In battle, reduces max health by 30% for N rounds.
• Stalwart Enemy mark: Monsters recover from the Daze state faster in battle for N rounds.

The fact that Nineveh is again the final boss seems to get a negative reaction from most players.The boss is rather annoying with a long invincibility phase and the projectiles that can knock down your characters while you try to kill the adds. We can maybe expect other bosses to be added in the future, that will most likely replace Nineveh in this mode.

Zenless Zone Zero 1.4 leaks are showcasing Enemy bas HP and Base Max Daze increase! Here is what you should know about it!

Leaks shared by Leifa have shown that for version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero we will see Enemies' Base HP and Base Max Daze increase:

A lot of enemies will have their Base HP and Base max Daze increased due to Ultimate changes. Enemy Hp appears to have increased between 6 to 14%, while Daze seems to have increased between 20 and 27,5%.

The Daze increase may signify a big change, as it will maybe force players to use ultimates such as Caesar's who does double Daze to Shielded enemies, instead of automatically keeping the ultimate for the DPS agent. 

Latest Leaks are revealing interesting information about the new upcoming Hollow Zero mode: Specific Resonium for some Agents!

The Hollow Zero in Zenless Zone Zero will receive a new mode soon called Hollow Zero - Lost Land. This mode seems to be some sort of rogue-like Hollow Zero mode, similar to the Elysian Realm from Honkai Impact 3rd. 

In this mode, some Agents will have Resonium that will change their gameplay when played in this Hollow Zero mode. The latest leaks from Seele are showcasing 4 resonium for Ellen Joe:

From left to right :

• [Ellen] Frost Blade During the third phase of the [Basic Attack: Flash Freeze Trimming ], gains super armor and -75% damage reduction. At the end, it triggers a [Qi Sword Attack], hitting all affected enemies .
• [Ellen] Menacing bearings While in the [Roaming ] state, Ellen can charge and obtain [Quick charge]. When [Flash Freeze Charge] or [Charged Scissors] hit an enemy, each charge level leaves behind a patch of ice mist .
• [Ellen] Hunting dorsal fin Every 15 seconds, Aileen will mark a random enemy with [Mark]. When [Charged Scissors] or [EX Special Attack] hits the enemy, she can release the move again without any cost .
• [Decibels] Prototype rhythm economizer Prototype rhythm economizer : Upon acquisition, activates [Bangboo Support Skill]: The Resonance Cloth accumulates energy over time. When any character in the team consumes Decibels Points, it also adds energy to the Resonance Cloth. When the Resonance Cloth is fully charged.

Other characters that will most likely get some resoniums are Billy, Miyabi, and Yanagi. It is unknown whether all agents will receive specific resonium for this mode or not, but this information is rather huge, and makes the new Hollow Zero mode very interesting!

A face we can see all over the game has made her appearance in latest leaks as a soon playable character! Find out more about it here!

If you are a player who pays attention to details in Zenless Zone Zero, you should already have seen the face of this Character: Astra Yao. She is appearing in multiple places all over New Eridu, whether it is the Video Store, or Lumina Square. Astra Yao is described as a popular Singer in New Eridu. 

The latest leaks are showing that Astra will be an S-Rank agent during 1.5, and a tall woman like Caesar.

According to more recent leaks she is suppose to come during phase 1 of 1.5, while Ellen would get her re-run during phase two of 1.5.

Her specialty and attributes remain unknown for the time being, but we will update you as soon as more is discovered about Astra! Some rumors state that she would be a support agent, however this is only a rumor, and nothing has been released about it yet, so take this information with a grain of salt.

* Due to this addition, the position of certain monsters, elite marks, and treasure hunt coffers has been adjusted.

An aetheryte has been installed in Dock Poga.

Allied Society Quests

Allied Society Quests are comprised of main quests, which chart the trials and tribulations of a specific society, and daily quests involving myriad requests and issues to resolve.

After completing the first main quest for an allied society, players can accept up to three daily quests per day (Earth time). Completing daily quests improves your reputation with that society, which in turn unlocks further main quests.

Allied Society Quests

Quest Sync

The Pelupelu allied society main quests and daily quests will employ an automatic level adjustment system known as quest sync, which will match the difficulty of the battles to the player's current job and class levels. Any experience received upon the completion of these quests will be adjusted accordingly. Furthermore, certain quests will not allow players to proceed with a class or job that is different than when they accepted them.

Allied Society Currency

Players can earn Pelu pelplumes by completing Pelupelu daily quests. These can be exchanged with Pavli in Dock Poga (X:37.1 Y:16.1) for a variety of items. The number of Pelu pelplumes currently held is displayed in the Currency window.

Exciting new leaks have surfaced, showcasing gameplay animations for upcoming characters Asaba Harumasa and Hoshimi Miyabi in Zenless Zone Zero.

The well-known leaker Dimbreath recently posted these previews on social media which then spread to the ZenlessZoneZeroLeaks subreddit.

Asaba Harumasa’s animations video is short due to the character still being a work in progress in the current beta. Harumasa has only a few animations at this stage, meaning that there is more development to come before his official release. 

In contrast, Miyabi’s animations appear more polished, and honestly look incredible. The attacks appear to have a wide attack range with beautiful animations, she's sure to be a worthwhile pull just for aesthetics but is also seeming like a powerhouse of a character. The reddit embed may not be fully functioning so a repost of the video on youtube has been embedded below too.

New leaks have surfaced showing the new areas that proxies can hope to explore and fight in releasing in patch 1.4.

These leaks about new areas in patch 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero come from Flying Flame's Telegram channel and shared across sites such as the Zenlesszonezeroleaks subreddit. 

These leaks showcae 2 brand new areas that players can see in patch 1.4.

The first place is called Stage Port and as shown by its name, is a Port featuring cargo, giant boat and even a helipad. The second locale, Reverb Arena is a much more enclosed area featuring graffiti, music equipment and skate ramps.

The interesting thing about Stage Port however, what need is there for a cargo ship if New Eridu is all that remains? We already know supplies are distributed to the Outer Ring using biker gangs but we can expect to learn more vital information about where this cargo is going in patch 1.4's story. 

The latest leaked informations have revealed Ellen's Re-run, and a possible Free Harumasa! Here is what you need to know!

The brand new leaks from Dim on reddit are confirming that Ellen Joe will get her first re-run for version 1.4 of the game!

Ellen was the very first S-Rank character from the Exclusive Channel. With Miyabi also coming for 1.4, this means it will be a very Ice focused patch. Players are wondering if both sides of Shiyu Defense will be made weak to Ice for 1.4.

On top of Ellen's re-run, we also have information about a possible Free Harumasa! Be aware that this information is not confirmed yet.

From a strategic point of view, giving Harumasa for free could defenitely be worth it. Honkai Star Rail proved it is a good thing with Dr Ratio, as his best team was needing a lot of other 5 star characters, forcing players to still invest, and a free 5 star character always brings new players in to try the game.

Harumasa would be a good gift for players if the Xbox release happens around the same time, and he would also be free around game awards, making it a good gift if ZZZ wins any award. However, it still has to be confirmed if we indeed get a free Harumasa or not.

Latest leaks have revealed incoming Quality of Life changes for version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero! Here is all the information you need to know!

The brand new leaks from Seele on reddit have revealed various different Quality of Life (QoL) changes that should be incoming for version 1.4 of the game!

We should see the following changes come for 1.4:

• Added story commissions in the form of battle stages
• A new save function for the Bizarre Brigade
• Changes to coffee varieties in the coffee shop
• Addition of an enhance button for Disc Drive and W-Engine upgrading
• Z-Merits can now be used to increase Licence Level

Players are hoping the coffee shop changes will include some buff to the existing coffees, as most people have been using the +80 energy coffee, and barely the others who are locking you into having to farm a single item.

The Z-merits used for License levels can be useful for players to get a few more polychromes from the license levels before a banner ends.

The added story commissions in form of battle stages could maybe mean story quests but without the TV mode. 

What are you thoughts on those few incoming changes? Is there some other QoL changes you wish would get implemented in the future?
