When Genshin Impact launched in 2020, it became one of the most successful free-to-play titles of its kind. Tower of Fantasy , created by Hotta Studio, has its sights set on challenging Genshin Impact for the gacha throne; however, this sci-fi MMO is a little too derivative for its own good, and the few new ideas it introduces fail to make a compelling argument for why fans should spend the time and money on such an unpolished game. Tower of Fantasy isn’t a new game; in fact, this title first launched [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ frontieres-lefilm.com explained in a blog post] China late last year before finding its footing in the West just a few weeks ago. With games like Genshin Impact already approaching the two-year mark and players likely searching for a new shared world gacha game to sink their teeth into, Tower of Fantasy could not have come at a better time. On paper, Hotta Studio's debut title looks like it should be everything miHoYo’s hit F2P game is and more–adding in mounts and featuring a distinct focus on MMO elements like PvP. However, in practice, none of its core components ever amount to anything exciting or worthwhile. RELATED: 8 Beginner Tips For Tower of Fantasy Starting with the story, players take on the role of The Wanderer: an adventurer who finds themselves separated from their twin at the start of the game before ending up at a small colony on the planet Aida. Already the Genshin parallels start to creep up. Aida is in the stage of a post-apocalypse where humans were almost eradicated after their exploitation of the resource Omnium nearly devastated the planet. The surviving humans and factions on Aida fight over the use of Omnium, with some believing it is evil, while others find it a necessity for survival. The main character finds themselves in a friendship with siblings Zeke and Shirili before disaster strikes, and the player dives into the politics of Aida’s warring factions firsthand. Tower of Fantasy ’s premise is interesting and unique enough to turn some heads, but it starts coming apart at the seams almost immediately. From the moment players meet Zeke and Shirili, the game starts throwing exposition and new characters at the player at break-neck speed. Players will regularly meet new characters who try very hard to be quirky and memorable yet pass by so quickly that players will likely see no reason to invest in these characters at all. Pivotal story moments often fall flat due to poor writing and are only book ended by more exposition dumps. Furthermore, Tower of Fantasy ’s presentation does very little to come to the story’s aid. Spotty voice acting and awkward animations are what make up the bulk of Tower of Fantasy ’s cutscenes. Half of the game’s characters sound like the voice actor was really giving it their all, while the other half are half-hearted and mixed rather poorly to boot. Additionally, Tower of Fantasy sometimes likes to give one character voice lines throughout a cutscene while the character other has none. It is uncomfortable to experience and feels worse, as characters very stiffly move their arms and nod their heads at each other. Players will have to trudge through these sequences to get the next story quest, which usually involves doing some resource collecting or MacGuffin finding typical of MMOs but without any driving force behind why players should keep doing these chores. RELATED: Tower of Fantasy: How To Delete Your Character And Start Over Combat is where Tower of Fantasy makes up some ground and proves that the game has some teeth, but it only feels slightly less shallow than its story and quest counterparts. Tower of Fantasy allows players to have three weapon types available at all times, each containing one of four elements that are effective against enemies who are weak to that corresponding element. When a weapon has built up a sufficient charge in combat, players can swap weapons to activate a special move. When paired with the game’s slow-mo mechanic - which occurs upon a perfect dodge - Tower of Fantasy can look pretty slick in action. However, the game's main combat loop winds up feeling quite mindless in practice. Combat-wise, Tower of Fantasy 's main detriment is having weak enemies with very boring attack patterns. Almost every low-ranked enemy in the overworld stays staggered on hit and is quickly taken down by simply spamming the attack button. Occasionally enemies break out of that stagger state and fight back, but then players can utilize the game's generous dodge window and continue to spam the mob until it dies. Tower of Fantasy does offer some thrills with boss fights, but those fights play out like a more extended version of the same dodge-and-poke routine but with a spongier enemy. As a whole, the combat system Hotta crafted fails to create dynamic combat situations where players have to consider anything but attacking and then occasionally dodging. Any player that is keeping up to date with their upgrades - when the game is not trying to slow their progress - can easily breeze through a good chunk of PvE content with little effort. Perhaps the most egregious issue in Tower of Fantasy is its insistence on time-gating a lot of its content. This is not the type of game that players can barrel through in a matter of a week. From time-gated story missions to time-gated chests to time-gated level caps, the game is constantly putting hurdles in the player’s path to stop them from progressing. Finding a chest out in the wild only to be told to come back in 2 days is one of the most deflating parts of Tower of Fantasy and takes all the fun out of exploring the game’s rather lovely-looking post-apocalyptic world. As of this writing, the main storyline still cannot be completed, and it will be a matter of weeks to months until it can be finished. What’s more, Tower of Fantasy ’s mount system , one of the game’s key differentiators from Genshin Impact , never feels fun to use and constantly gets stuck on the smallest bits of geometry. Also detracting from the fun of world exploration. RELATED: Tower of Fantasy: Ruin A-02 Chest Locations The big question with Tower of Fantasy is its gacha monetization scheme. Some of these gacha [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ anime games crafting guide] do a great job of letting free-to-play players have a wonderful time without spending a single cent, while others take a pay-to-progress approach. Tower of Fantasy falls somewhere in the middle. Playing the main storyline won’t grant players any incredible weapons, and drop rates for high-quality items are quite low, but players can complete all the PvE content with almost any weapon as long as they upgrade accordingly. However, it is in the PvP content where the gacha comes into play. Some fans could very easily spend tons of money trying to pull duplicate weapons and buff their gear to undoubtedly have an advantage on the battlefield. On the whole, Tower of Fantasy 's PvP seems to favor those who pay more than the free-to-play crowd, and that takes some fun out of the MMO portion of the game, which also mostly amounts to dungeon crawling with a group of people when not engaging in PvP. Ultimately, Tower of Fantasy feels like a haphazardly put together imitation of Genshin Impact that can't find its footing in either gameplay or story. The best parts of the game are its extensive character creator and lovely open world, which evokes the same Breath of the Wild art style that surprisingly few games have yet to nail. But then it punishes players that want to see every corner of it with time-gated chests and missions. A sense of stiffness also permeates multiple aspects of the game, making it difficult to play for long periods of time on top of the game's systems regularly pushing against players who want to do more. Tower of Fantasy will be a challenging game to stick with in the long term and gives little reason for why players should jump ship to planet Aida over much more expansive and polished free-to-play gachas currently on the market. Tower of Fantasy is available now for PC, Android, and iOS. Game Rant was provided a PC code for this review. MORE: Why Tower of Fantasy and Genshin Impact are Attracting Similar Audiences

Genshin Impact: Alhaitham Best Builds Weapons Teams

ShielaFuhrmann:

Quick Links Alhaitham's Best Builds & Artifact Sets Alhaitham's Best 5-Star & 4-Star Weapons Alhaitham's Best Team Compositions As the current Scribe of Sumeru's Akademiya, Alhaitham is often found at work writing down findings and drafting ordinances in Genshin Impact . Alhaitham is a busy man who usually doesn't have time for outside visits. RELATED: Genshin Impact: Yelan Best Builds, Weapons, & Teams As a 5-Star Dendro character , Alhaitham has exceptional base stats and is a great character for dealing a remarkable amount of Dendro DMG. If you've been lucky enough to get the 5-Star character on your hands, here's how you can build him. Alhaitham's Best Builds & Artifact Sets As a Main DPS character , Alhaitham benefits greatly from an increase to his CRIT Stats and Elemental Mastery, since a lot of his damage will come from creating Elemental Reactions. Below, you'll find the best artifact set to compliment his abilities. 4-Set Of Gilded Dreams A 2-Set of Gilded Dreams will give Alhaitham a bonus increase of 80 to his Elemental Mastery. Its 4-Set, within 8 seconds of triggering an Elemental Reaction, will give Alhaitham buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK will increase by 14 percent for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as Alhaitham's, and Elemental Mastery will increase by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8 seconds and even if Alhaitham is not on the field. Gilded Dreams is a great way to increase Alhaitham's Elemental Mastery significantly to create stronger Elemental Reactions. You should focus on having more characters that aren't Dendro in order to increase his Elemental Mastery further. Here are some of the main stats and substats you should look out for. As with most Main DPS characters, increasing Alhaitham's CRIT Stats is important to dealing a considerable amount of damage from his Dendro attacks. Elemental Mastery, as stated before, is essential for Alhaitham's build, so you'll want to increase this as well. RELATED: Genshin Impact: Candace Best Builds, Weapons, & Teams Alhaitham's Best 5-Star & 4-Star Weapons Alhaitham luckily has quite a few weapons that work for him, including a few easily-obtainable and Free-to-Play 4-Stars. As a Main DPS, he will benefit greatly from any weapons that increase his CRIT Stats or Elemental Mastery , as you'll want to make sure he's creating powerful Elemental Reactions. Here are some of the weapons we recommend picking up for Alhaitham. 5-Star Weapons: Light Of Foliar Incision & Primordial Jade Cutter Light of Foliar Incision will give Alhaitham a base increase of 19.20 percent to his CRIT DMG. Its Bonus Skill will increase CRIT Rate by 4 percent. After Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Incision effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and his Elemental Skill by 120 percent of Elemental Mastery. This effect will disappear after 28 DMG instances or 12 seconds. Alhaitham will obtain Foliar Incision once every 12 seconds. Light of Foliar Incision is Alhaitham's signature weapon , so if you are able to pull for it, we highly recommend you do so. It has an incredible increase to CRIT DMG, and will also give him a respectable boost to his Elemental Mastery to deal as much damage as possible from his Dendro attacks. Primordial Jade Cutter will give Alhaitham a base increase of 9.6 percent to his CRIT Rate. Its Bonus Skill will increase HP by 20 percent. Additionally, it provides an ATK bonus based on 1.2 percent of Alhaitham's max HP. If your Alhaitham build is lacking in CRIT Rate, Primordial Jade Cutter is a solid option for you. It's relatively easy to get on Standard Banners , so it will always be available to you. 4-Star Weapons: Toukabou Shigure & Iron Sting Toukabou Shigure will give Alhaitham a base increase of 36 to his Elemental Mastery. Its Bonus Skill, after an attack hits opponents, will inflict an instance of Cursed Parasol upon one of them for 10 seconds. This effect can be triggered once every 15 seconds. If the enemy is taken out during Cursed Parasol's duration, its Cooldown will be refreshed immediately. Alhaitham will deal 16 percent more DMG to the enemy affected by Cursed Parasol. If you were able to obtain Toukabou Shigure from the Akitsu Kimodameshi Event, we highly recommend giving it to Alhaitham if you don't have his signature weapon. It will greatly increase the damage he deals from Elemental Reactions. Iron Sting will give Alhaitham a base increase of 36 to his Elemental Mastery. Its Bonus Skill will increase all DMG by 6 percent for 6 seconds when dealing Elemental DMG. This has a maximum of 2 stacks, and can occur once every 1 second. Iron Sting will be your Free-to-Play option for Alhaitham if you missed out on the Akitsu Kimodameshi Event. It will give the same amount of increase to his Elemental Mastery, while also giving Alhaitham's overall damage a nice improvement. RELATED: Genshin Impact: Xingqiu Best Builds, Weapons, & Teams Alhaitham's Best Team Compositions In order to get the most out of the Gilded Dreams 4-Set, Alhaitham will benefit sustantially from having a team of mostly differing Elements. You'll also want this anyway in order to produce as many Elemental Reactions as possible, as this is where Alhaitham deals the most damage. Here are some of his best teams. 5-Star Team With this team, Alhaitham will receive a large increase to his Elemental Mastery from the Gilded Dreams set since there are two characters with differing Elements. This team will also be able to create the Bloom, Hyperbloom, [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ anime games weapons] and Quicken Reactions to enhance Alhaitham's damage when he is on the field. 4-Star Team This team will have a main focus on creating the Burgeon Reaction , which can be created after a Dendro Core is made with Hydro and Dendro and then applying Pyro to the Dendro Core. There are a few other Elemental Reactions you can create, but Burgeon will be the most beneficial and will allow all the characters in the team to play a major [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ animegamerverse game Portal] part.

Being an MMO, Tower Of Fantasy has a lot of detail to it, and the game has been designed in-depth. There are multiple aspects that affect the amount of damage you deal, and one of these is relics . While relics don't directly buff the damage of your weapon, the right one can deal a good amount of extra damage to the enemies. Colossus Arm is one such SSR relic that can be acquired in the game by following a certain quest. This quest is also required to finish your exploration progress in Banges and Navia , so you'll just be getting this on the way. Ingredients Required To Get Colossus Arm Before embarking on this quest, it is better to get the ingredients that you'll need throughout the process, so you won't have to go back and forth when you need them. The main things required for the quest are: Iced Strawberry Soda Tool Set How To Get Iced Strawberry Soda Iced Strawberry Soda is an item that can be cooked on any of the cooking pots . It requires three ingredients that are Strawberry, Honey, and Carbonated Water . Luckily, none of these are particularly hard to find in the world of Tower Of Fantasy. If you've played the game for a little while, [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ AnimeGamerVerse website] you probably already have some Honey in your inventory. If not, you can find these Needlebees Hives, shown in the picture above, scattered all across the world. Hitting it a bunch of times will spawn some Needlebees and also give you Honey. You only need one for this process . To find Strawberries, simply head over to the Spacerift on the top-left side of the Crown region . Once there, head in the northwest direction and you'll see three Strawberry branches less than 50 meters away from the Spacerift . You need two Strawberries for this process. To find the last ingredient and make Iced Strawberry Soda, head over to the Banges Dock Spacerift. Once you're there, look for a big board that says "Pizza Hot Fast Food" . In this shop, you'll find Harriet, and [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ anime games online guide] you can buy 11 Carbonated Water from his stock . Each of these cost 40 gold. After you have all the ingredients, you can find a cooking station inside this shop as well. Interact with this station and head over to the Creation tab. Put in the Honey, two Strawberries, and 11 Carbonated Water to get yourself an Iced Strawberry Soda. To be safe, you can add in some more Honey until you reach a 100 percent success rate. How To Get Tool Set Tool sets are significantly easier to get since they can simply be bought by the currency you get after doing the daily stuff. Head over to the main menu on the top right and go to the Commissary tab . Here, you'll find Fine Gift in the Crystal Dust Store or the Point Store. Buy two of these from any of the stores. Go to your inventory and open these gifts. Make sure you have the Tool Set selected when you're finally claiming the reward. Two of these will be enough to get you through the main quest. Once you have both the items, it's time to get yourself the Colossus Arm . How To Get Colossus Arm In Tower Of Fantasy To start your journey to get the relic, head over to the Spacerift to the south of Rosen in Banges and head directly west. On the map, you'll see a dark area on the map beside some islands in the middle of the water , this is where you need to arrive. Jetboard will help you a lot here since it's quite far into the water. Once you reach the area, it'll be blocked, and you need to talk to the Hyena Guard to unlock this area . During your first conversation, press the top option every single time. After that, head back to the Spacerift on Banges dock and find the robot Lozwall . You'll find this NPC patrolling in front of the Pizza Hot shop that you used earlier to acquire the Iced Strawberry Soda. After talking to him, head back to the Hyena Guard and select the second option every single time. This will give you access to the Oil Rig and you'll find a Supply Pod hidden here required for 100 percent Banges. In this place, you'll find the Hyena Classified Document . This is near the top beside another Hyena guarding a door. Read the document to progress to the next part of the story, where you'll need to teleport to the Raincaller Island Spacerift on Cetus island . Head west once again to find another Oil Rig. While this one isn't marked on the map, you'll see it in the distance as soon as you look towards the waters on the west after teleporting to this Spacerift. Use your Jetboard once again to get to this Rig and find another Hyena Guard at the bottom , blocking your access to the area. When you start talking to this guard, here's the list of options you need to select to unlock the area: I'm here for the Hyenas Carnival. Hyena Queen This is the Seventh Hyenas Carnival The Heirs of Aida of course After selecting the correct options, the guard will let you into the Hyenas Carnival where you'll find Morgley sitting in a corner near where you spawn . Talk to him and give him the Iced Strawberry Soda to get the Console Components from him in return . This item is essential for the final step of the quest. Once you've acquired the components, teleport to the North Seventh Day Forest Spacerift above the Banges Omnium Tower . On your right side, after teleporting to the Spacerift, you'll see a tower with a dish at the top of it. Climb that tower and defeat the Hyenas on the floor above. One of these Hyenas called Filis is pretty tanky. After defeating them all, you'll need to make use of the Tool Set to repair the three broken generators. These are easy to spot as they have sparks coming out of them . After repairing all three of them, interact with the main console towards the end of the room in this tower. Press the Device Activation button, and it'll trigger a cutscene, notifying you that you've finished one-third of this part to acquire the relic at the end . Head out from the tower and look around, you'll find another one in the distance, and it'll be higher than the tower you're currently on. It'll be a long journey to reach this tower, but you can make use of the Jetpack and your mount to get there as fast as possible. This tower is guarded by a couple of Harley Quinn Hyenas who can be particularly hard to defeat. After defeating them, you can climb the ladder and head inside . The main console is where you'll be using the components you got from Morgley. On the main console, click on Affix Components, and then on Device Activation to get the second disc tower ready, getting you even closer to unlocking the relic. The least annoying way to get to the third and final tower is to teleport to the Spacerift at the southern end of Cetus Island . Glide to the set of three towers below you on the right side. You have to enter the main room of the tower which has its disk facing toward the other two towers . Upon interacting with the main mechanism in this one, you'll be required a password. Simply type '5972' and then activate the final tower . Next, head over to the blue aura in the middle and interact with the mechanism to get teleported to the top . Here, you'll find the Colossus Relic sitting with four supply pods. NEXT: Tower Of Fantasy: Complete Exploration [https://frontieres-lefilm.com/ anime games beginner guide]
