  • The spiritual dilemma and the reflection of the times in modern games from the accumulation of complex materials in Mingchao Xiakong

    Recently, the game Mingchao has attracted considerable attention. In particular, the complicated accumulation of materials for the cultivation of the new five-star resonator “Xiakong” has become the focus of controversy and complaints among players. Looking closely, these piles of materials are complicated and progressive, with low-frequency tidal erosion sail cores, medium-frequency high-frequency and even full-frequency, all of which symbolize the increasingly heavy burden on players; and rare materials such as burning phosphorus bones and golden wool are more like bait, tempting players to indulge in endless brushing and pursuit. If you look at the accumulation of materials in this game from the eyes of Lu Xun, you can see the deep spiritual dilemma and the reflection of the times behind the design of modern games.

    To cultivate Xiakong, you must collect low-frequency, medium-frequency, high-frequency, and full-frequency tidal erosion sail cores, the number of which can be as many as dozens or even dozens. The large number makes people think of the busyness and complexity of the world today: people are entangled in layers of affairs, and if they want to move forward, they must overcome many obstacles. The accumulation of numbers in the game seems to be a microcosm of the mental burden of modern people. Players follow the so-called “growth” in the virtual world, just like the nameless people who are bound by various rules and expectations in life, walking in endless anxiety and fatigue.

    The names of “burning phosphorus bones” and “golden fleece” sound mysterious and poetic, but in fact, the way to obtain them is a long and boring grinding, which consumes the time and patience of players. This reminds people of countless helpless individuals in reality who have exhausted their energy for the “rare materials” of life, but still lament that the harvest is meager. The game is named after materials, as if it condenses the suffering of reality into a string of numbers. Players are both participants in the game and a portrayal of the dilemma of reality.

    Even more annoying are the materials for special weapon cultivation: simple shackles, basic shackles, modified shackles, and special shackles. The names of these “shackles” have their own symbolic meanings. They are like shackles, encircling the players’ hands and feet, locking the freedom and happiness that should have been there into layers of demands and tasks. Game designers cleverly use the metaphor of “shackles” to make players sink deeper and deeper in the pursuit of power, unable to extricate themselves. This is the most alarming aspect of modern games: they are no longer just entertainment, but the creators of spiritual shackles.

    The introduction of recharge systems and discount codes has dragged games into the vortex of capital. The so-called moon phases, points, and tokens, which seem to be complicated numbers on the surface, are actually converters from real currency to virtual currency. Players invest real money in the virtual world in exchange for short-term power and pleasure. However, this pleasure is as short-lived as fireworks, and in the end, only emptiness and regret are left. Games have become tools for capital manipulation, and players have become consumers who are coerced.

    The material name of “Iris Blooms Day” could have been an expression of a beautiful image, but it was limited to the cruel conditions that must be defeated to obtain it. For this “beauty”, players have to challenge their limits repeatedly, exhausting their time and energy, just like workers in reality who struggle for their dreams but suffer repeated setbacks. Games and life are so similar.

    “Stuffed meat tofu”, a seemingly friendly little prop, is actually full of irony: it allows players to increase the material acquisition rate within a limited time, but also accelerates the oppressive rhythm of the game. This is like the “efficiency first” logic in modern society, pushing people into a more intense competition, making it difficult to breathe. Everything in the game is nothing more than a projection of reality and an amplification of reality.

    These layers of material requirements, and the high cost of time and money, make the game no longer a pure entertainment, but a silent spiritual battle. Players struggle in the ocean of numbers, not only for growth in the game, but also to find the rare satisfaction and meaning in reality. However, this satisfaction is often short-lived, and the design of the game pushes them to the next more difficult challenge.

    Mingchao Xiakong, on the surface, is a glamorous game, but behind it is a portrayal of the mental state of modern society: anxiety, fatigue, pursuit and loss intertwined. The game production team cleverly created invisible shackles with a complex development system to lock the players tightly. Just like “Ah Q” in Lu Xun’s works, who anesthetized himself in false victory, the players in the game world are also struggling in the digital maze.

    Finally, I hope we can see clearly this network of virtual and reality, and be alert to the spiritual crisis of the game while not losing our expectations for a good game experience. The story of Mingchao Xiakong is ultimately a mirror that reflects the contradictions of the times and the struggles of people.

  • She wanted to collect all the items dropped by these monsters for Xia Kong, and then fly away.

    Xia Kong was the third character who had come to the village.

    The first was Bai Lu. That year, cattle plague just started, and the old yellow cattle in the village died one after another, as if their souls were taken away by the gods in the sky. The second was Chang Li, who came and left quickly. Before he could stand firmly, he was bitten by the madman Li Er at the east end of the village, and he never spoke again.

    Xia Kong was different. When she came, she stood on the dry well at the entrance of the village, as if she was standing at the source of some legend. Her skirt was not blown by the wind, but the whole village seemed to be blown by her.

    “She is the child of the wind.” The village party secretary Lao Zhou said, his eyes were erratic, as if he saw the future from a pot of unboiled soup.

    But no one knew what she was here for. Until she walked into the cowshed and killed a cow with green light on its head. The blood was not red, but blue, seeping into the villagers’ feet along the cracked ground, but the villagers seemed not to see it, only staring at the shining “tide-eroded sail core” in her hand.

    After she left, the village began to change.

    Scales grew on the roof, wheat sang at night, and the well water became sweet but no one dared to drink it. A brave boy ran into her house under the cover of night, but went crazy the next morning, saying that she lit seven lamps in the house, and there was a face of her sitting in each lamp.

    The villagers said that she was practicing martial arts, wanting to break through, and wanting to “fill the fate seat”. They didn’t understand what it was, but they began to exchange things for her to kill monsters. She didn’t refuse. Someone sent a blind chicken, and she carried the chicken to the forest, and soon brought back a piece of burning phosphorus bone, like burnt amber.

    She said, “You need this.”

    People didn’t know if they needed it, but since she said it, they accepted it. A girl heard that this thing could make people “upgrade”, so she secretly swallowed it. That night, she flew out of bed and crashed into her ancestral tomb, dying.

    More people began to exchange things with her. Some people cut off a finger of their old mother, some people offered their newborn baby’s nails, and some people cut off the ancestral curse paper, just to let Xia Kong “break through” once.

    She said it was not enough.

    She wanted the “Golden Fleece”, the “Iris Petals of the Wheel of Destiny”, and the “Crystallized Phlogiston·High Purity”. She said these things were not what she wanted, but what the system wanted. No one knew who the “system” was, but when she spoke, her eyes were as bright as a fish turning white in a pond, and no one dared to question it.

    Some people secretly followed her into the mountains to see where she got those strange materials.

    They saw her go into the cave, and the four ancient characters “Confession of the Sea Abyss” were written on the entrance of the cave, as if carved by someone with claws. No one who went in came back.

    Every time she went in and came out, she always had a few more things in her hands, sometimes a feather that made a low sound, sometimes a bone that was covered with cold sweat, and sometimes a small bag of crying stones.

    She gave these to the three-eyed clay Buddha in the temple, and the clay Buddha spit out some silver “shell money” from its mouth. She said that this thing could “upgrade talents” and it cost three million.

    Everyone in the village helped her to collect money. Some sold their land, some dismantled the kang, and some knocked down the gold teeth of their ancestors’ tombs – everyone was crazy, as if they believed that as long as she upgraded to “full life”, the village would return to normal.

    She also spoke less and less, just cooking the food called “stuffed meat tofu” over and over again in front of the temple. The fragrance broke through the top of the head, and even the stars in the sky squinted their eyes.

    Once, outsiders came to the village, saying that they were sent by the government to investigate abnormal weather. They knocked on her door and were blown away 30 meters away by a gust of wind. Later, they only left a report saying that the wind in this village was wrong.

    The village became more and more strange.

    The wind would sing “The Song of the Resonator” at night, chickens began to lay talking eggs, and the old people began to recall what would happen in the future.

    And Xia Kong, she finally stood on the top of the temple, and summoned the wheel of fate with the materials she had pieced together.

    That day she rose. She rose very high, as if she had broken free from some invisible rope.

    The villagers knelt down, some shouted “God”, and some shouted “She can finally leave”.

    She didn’t look back. But the moment she looked back, a tear fell from her eyes, fell on the ground, and turned into a glowing word:

    “Freedom”.

    No one saw her again. But since then, the wind in the village has never stopped.

    Some people said that she turned into the wind.

    Some people said that she went to the next village and continued to collect the materials she wanted.

    Others said that she finally logged out of the game, returned to that gray reality, turned off the computer, walked into the kitchen, and started her life again.

    But no one knows which one is real, just like no one knows who the “system” is.

    You only know that if you play that game again and choose that character again, she will still be there, waiting for you to collect all her things.

    Then, she can fly.

  • In the flames of the popcorn pot, see through the rural metaphor of Ju Fufu and absurd life

    Mo Yan’s writing is always strong and full, with a rural flavor, mixed with magic and reality. He likes to use the simplest images to portray the most complex worldly conditions. Ju Fufu, the game character, carries a “popcorn pot” and rushes into the battlefield with a burning flame. If Mo Yan were to write about her, he would tightly entangle her with the smell of soil, the absurdity of human nature, and the spirit of resistance.

    1. Popcorn pot – the absurd power in rural fireworks
    Mo Yan’s writings often have absurd scenes of farm tools turning into weapons – hoes chopping people and iron pots flying. And Ju Fufu’s “popcorn pot” is a modern version of “countryside weapons”. The hot oil in the pot makes a “sizzling” sound, frying one popcorn after another. This sound and flame bring the fireworks of the open-air stalls in the field into the battlefield. She is not waving a shining holy sword, but a homely utensil full of the warmth of the land. This absurdity is full of truth, which is the original power of “farmers can use a hoe as a knife” in Mo Yan’s writing.

    2. Normal attack combos and the rhythm of rural farm work
    Ju Fufu’s three-stage normal attack combo is like a farmer plowing the field three times – one plow to rake the soil, one plow to sow hope, and the third plow to consolidate the results. The third stage of the combo can be connected to the fourth stage of the attack, which is like a harvesting action that knows how to accumulate power during the critical farming season. The accumulation of heat in the hot pot corresponds to the farmer’s sensitivity to weather, timing, and land. Mo Yan would say that this girl knows how to “talk to the field” and how to use the pot to fight the enemy back and forth.

    3. The heat mechanism reveals the anger and emotional accumulation in the heart
    The “heat” in the game symbolizes the accumulation and explosion of emotions. The more Ju Fufu fights, the higher the heat, the more angry and passionate he becomes. Mo Yan would describe this as a soul that has been suppressed for too long accumulating power in the soil. Each attack is not only a counterattack against the enemy, but also a slap in the face of the beasts and injustice of society. When the heat is full, she is no longer just a girl who makes hot pot, but a warrior with a burning heart.

    4. Resistance and rural elegance in dodging and spinning
    Although Ju Fufu’s dodging is manic, there is a sense of rural rhythm in the spinning. She is like a village woman practicing swords on the mud. Although her movements are not light, they are measured and powerful. Short-pressing invincible sprint is like a short escape from the market, and long-pressing spinning is like picking up a sickle to “do it”. Mo Yan likes this style of “rationality in roughness and restraint in wildness”. Spinning is not only her posture to deal with the enemy, but also like a circle of spells in the local accent, singing the resistance of “I don’t obey, I want to live” in the flames.

    5. Strengthening skills and flame ritual sense
    When she swings the pot and spins, the flames surround her, and popcorn fills the sky, it is like the “New Year customs” or “sacrifice” described by Mo Yan. The villagers burned paper, set off firecrackers, and sparks flew; Ju Fufu’s battle was like completing a ritual, using fire and pot to prove her existence. She did not fight for violence, but to let the world see her courage and passion. The dance of flames and pots can be called a ritual against the indifferent world.

    6. Linkage skills and mutual assistance like fellow villagers
    Ju Fufu gave teammates shields and released linkage skills, like the villagers pulling “shows”, working together in the fields and playing mahjong. Her shield is not excessive heroism, but the kind of “hands are covered with calluses but still willing to block the rain for you” reality. She will fight side by side with her comrades, like the brothers and sisters in Mo Yan’s works, carrying the war on her shoulders and irrigating hope with sweat. As Mo Yan wrote: “In a world full of turmoil, the most reliable people are always these lost folks.”

    VII. Core skills and field experience of growth
    When the “popcorn pot” attacks automatically and as the level increases, her power will not disappear, just like the real hometown complex, the kind of power that is deeply rooted in the bones. Mo Yan would say that people who have experienced farming and feeding pigs, even if they have been away from their hometown for many years, the physical memory of “you know the depth of the mountain when you climb the slope” will allow you to continue to ring the world with “you have your own land in your heart”. Her core skill is such a power – deep, simple, and cannot be achieved quickly.

    VIII. Imagery and shadow painting like rural poetry
    The final flame shadow painting is the projection of the land in her heart. The large piece of fire painted under the popcorn pot is like the brilliance of the rice fields after frost, and also like the silent waiting of the only lamp at the head of the village. She engraved her story in the air like a flame, allowing herself to resonate with this wasteland-like world. Mo Yan would say that this is “letting the barren land bloom and letting the absurd people live with dignity”. The story of Ju Fufu is both absurd and real.

    Conclusion: The hot pot is a sword, and the soul of the countryside burns in the virtual world
    If Mo Yan were to write about Ju Fufu, he would write a poem about the fire in the countryside on the “popcorn pot”. She is a warrior with the smell of fireworks, as real as the firewood stove in the village. She uses the pot to create heat, uses the fire to illuminate the way ahead, and uses cooperation and support to connect people. Although her battle is virtual, it has real blood and texture.

    In the flames of the popcorn pot, she is not a hero, not a god, but just a mortal with roots. Her strength comes from life, from the countryside, and from the unyielding heat. She shows us that absurd tools can also breed warmth and dignity. Living in even the hottest pot can bloom tenacious flowers.

  • Glimpse the hidden trajectory of modern loneliness and growth from the complex world of Mingchao Xiakong’s cultivation materials

    I always feel that the process of playing games is like walking through a foggy forest alone. You know there is light and an exit ahead, but you have to step on every step yourself, and every choice may change the future scenery. Xiakong, the newly launched five-star resonator in Mingchao, is a faint light in that forest. Her cultivation materials are numerous and complex, like those trivial but indispensable fragments in life, piecing together a person’s growth trajectory and also piecing together our understanding of the world.

    Xiakong starts from zero and goes to level 90 step by step. He needs to collect eclipse sail cores of various frequencies: low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency, full frequency, each of which is like a different stage in life, some are easy, some are heavy, and some are extremely precious and rare. There are also burning phosphorus bones and golden fleece. These names themselves carry the flavor of stories, which makes people involuntarily think of the difficulties and hopes in life.

    Burning phosphorus bones are obtained by defeating the sighing ancient dragon. The name of Sigh Ancient Dragon sounds a bit sad, as if it is a knot that has never been untied in your heart. It represents the fear and challenges that must be faced in growth, and it is also like a kind of destiny, waiting for you to face and overcome. You can’t avoid it. Only by facing it bravely can you get that precious reward.

    The Golden Fleece is like a dream in a fairy tale, shining but out of reach. You can collect it in the game world, or buy it, but the limited number of purchases makes it more precious. Maybe this is a microcosm of real life-dreams always have a certain threshold, and you have to learn to find your own value in limited resources.

    These materials are not just numbers and items in the game, but more like metaphors of life. When you brush the low-frequency tidal erosion sail core, it’s like accumulating basic knowledge and experience; improving skills and resonance circuits is like self-cognition and inner growth. Every stage of the game silently tells you that growth requires patience and persistence.

    The recharge discount code Treabarblog3ge appears frequently, reminding you not to forget the desires and temptations in reality. It symbolizes the power of capital from the outside world, always reminding you that this game is not only a competition of technology and endurance, but also a contest of resource allocation. You keep paying, trying to exchange for the advantages of the virtual world, but you can’t escape the constraints of the real world.

    The layers of resonance circuit materials and crystallized phlogiston are like the layers of responsibilities and pressures in life. You must accumulate little by little, and you can’t rush, because every omission will affect the operation of the entire system. The design of the game allows you to learn planning, and also allows you to realize that no matter how difficult the process of growth is, only by being down-to-earth can you reach the other side of your ideal.

    The name of the dungeon “Confession of the Abyss” resonates with me. Confession means repentance and release; the abyss is the bottomless loneliness. Perhaps this is our common state of mind in modern society: there is both reflection and repentance for the past, and confusion and anxiety about the future. The repeated challenges of players in the dungeon are like our constant attempts to solve our inner puzzles in life.

    Small auxiliary items such as stuffed meat tofu may look inconspicuous, but they can bring an additional 50% material reward. It reminds us that some small happiness and rituals in life can give us the strength to keep going in difficult times. Perhaps true growth is to complete one’s own transformation little by little between this subtle happiness and persistence.

    The cultivation system of Mingchao Xiakong, seemingly a simple collection of materials, is a secret record of the spiritual world of modern people. It tells about loneliness, challenges, hope and persistence, and also reflects people’s struggles and explorations in the face of complex reality. We are all like players in the game, constantly crossing the fog and looking for the light that belongs to us.

    If you have ever felt lonely and lost your way in life, you might as well try to collect every piece of your material patiently like cultivating Xiakong in the game, and gradually complete the puzzle of growth. Maybe one day, when you look back, you will find that the once confused self has stood at his own height, with a calm and firm look.

  • From the complexity of Mingchao Xiakong’s material collection, we can talk about the capital manipulation and player anxiety behind modern game design

    In this increasingly impetuous era, games seem to have become a safe haven for people to escape from reality. However, when we carefully observe the material collection of Xiakong, a new five-star resonator in the game “Mingchao”, it is not difficult to find that there is profound capital manipulation and player anxiety behind it. The complicated material requirements are like the endless task oppression in modern society, and like an invisible net that firmly traps players in it and cannot be freed.

    Xiakong’s breakthrough materials, skill materials and special weapon materials are piled up like mountains, and the huge number is staggering. 29 low-frequency tide eclipse sail cores, 40 mid-frequency, 52 high-frequency, and 61 full-frequency are like the ladder of capital climbing layer by layer, exhausting the player’s time and energy. The existence of burning phosphorus bones and golden wool has increased the difficulty for players. These two things are like the heavy taxes in the old society, as if only by paying a heavy price can you get even a little progress.

    We observe the source of “Burning Phosphorus Bone” – it can only be obtained by defeating the Sighing Ancient Dragon. This is tantamount to the scene of the working class bowing to power in order to survive. No wonder players are exhausted like coolies, repeating the same actions in the game world, trying to obtain those pieces of cold materials. Looking back a few years later, isn’t this another form of slavery?

    What’s more, as one of the breakthrough materials, the Golden Fleece can be purchased in the game, but it is subject to the limit of only buying 15 pieces per week. This is like the monopoly of resources by the powerful, giving you only a little “freedom”, but in fact it is full of shackles. Such a design not only tests the patience of players, but also stimulates their anxiety, creating a panic mentality of “if you are not diligent, you will be eliminated.”

    As for the materials for Xiakong’s special weapons, it is even more sigh-worthy. From simple shackles to special shackles, the name of shackles reveals a hint of irony – it is a symbol of growth, but it implies bondage. The shackles of capital, like these shackles, are interlocked and lock players firmly in the cage of consumption.

    The crystallized phlogiston series in the game progresses from impurities to high purity, layer by layer, just like the stratification of social classes. Players cannot enter the next stage without making great efforts. Little do they know that this is the business logic deliberately created by the designer, kneading the players’ expectations and anxieties into invisible ropes.

    However, “The Day of Iris Blooming”, a material that symbolizes hope, can only be obtained by defeating the weekly challenge “Wheel of Fate”. The game designer uses the word “fate” as a hint to the player’s fate: your growth depends entirely on the rotation of a round of fate. Isn’t this the epitome of “scarce opportunities” in modern society?

    Recharge discounts and discount codes follow closely, and the calculations of capital sound the loudest beat in this virtual world. Players pay real money for their own pleasure, but game manufacturers have long seen through the weaknesses of human nature and imprinted the concept of “paying is progress” in the hearts of every player. In this way, games have long deviated from the essence of entertainment and become a tool for capital plunder.

    Let’s talk about the “stuffed meat tofu”, a small prop that improves the efficiency of material drop. Its existence itself reflects the contradiction between the rhythm of the game and commercial interests. If the player does not have this prop, the efficiency will be low; if it has it, it will be temporarily accelerated, but it will be constantly pulled by the system with new demands. The “quick success” and “efficiency” of real society seem to be reflected in this virtual space.

    The material system of Mingchao Xiakong is nothing more than a mirror, reflecting the cold nature of capital supremacy in contemporary game design. Players are like prey being lassoed, struggling in layers of levels and material accumulation, but they have to admit that this is the price of “growth”. Looking at it, I can’t help but sigh: the freedom of the virtual world is just another cage designed by capital.

    Ultimately, if gamers cannot consciously see through the web of games and capital, they will only lose themselves in virtual labor. The materials used to cultivate Mingchao Xiazora are not only the hard labor factory in the game world, but also the epitome of class oppression in modern society. Only by awakening can we truly break free from these invisible shackles and gain our own freedom.

  • A narration of the subtlety of human nature and the impermanence of fate behind the glitz

    Ju Fufu, this name falls lightly in front of my eyes, like a yellowed old photo, reflecting mottled light and shadow, with endless loneliness and tenderness. Her skills are like her life, gorgeous but with helpless cruelty, just like those women wandering in the prosperous world, elegant but may be severely knocked down by fate at any time.

    Her ordinary attack is the kind of delicate and harsh knock, like a few gentle pokes in the heart, but it is painful. There are no grand fireworks, only a few scars, which belong to the joys and sorrows of the little people. Her every move is soaked in the heat and cold of fire, as if burning herself with flames and stabbing others with wounds.

    Dodging is not an easy and elegant turn, but a struggle with a bit of powerlessness. What she avoids is the invisible shackles, the web woven by desires, vanity and scheming. Every dodge is a painful interpretation of compromise with life, but it also implies a desire for freedom, just like the kind of people who keep wandering in the world but can’t find a home.

    Her special skills and joint skills are metaphors for the subtle relationship between people. She wields the popcorn pot, that absurd but real weapon, as if it is a protective shield she uses to fight loneliness and desolation. The jumping flames reflect the unspeakable loneliness and helplessness deep in her heart, and also illuminate those neglected emotional details.

    In the core skills, the setting of the popcorn pot to automatically attack on the battlefield is like the traces left by people in life. Although silent, it constantly affects the surroundings. The accumulation of heat is just like her suppressed emotions and unknown thoughts. As time goes by, it gradually accumulates into an inescapable burden.

    In the fiery rotation state, she is both a hunter and a prey, just like those women in the whirlpool of emotions, who want to break free but are tightly entangled by the flames of emotions. Every time she attacks, she is testing her own limits and resisting fate.

    The parrying and counterattack in the support skills are very similar to her contradictory psychology in interpersonal relationships, wanting to get close but afraid of getting hurt. Her additional attacks with the popcorn pot are a counterattack against those injuries, but with a bit of helplessness and sadness. Her invincible moments are like the moments when she pretends to be strong in front of others, covering up her inner fragility and fear.

    In the imagery, the extra abilities and attack boosts given to her are not only the enhancement of skills, but also more like compensation for the injustice of fate to her. Her heat and flames have become her sharpest weapons and her biggest burden.

    In her story, there is no aura of heroes, no legendary battles, only struggles and pains in ordinary life. She is very similar to those ordinary people who are overwhelmed by reality but still insist on living. Her flame is the last warmth in her heart, and it is the persistence and unwillingness to give up on life.

    Every time a skill is activated, it is like a monologue of the soul, telling of her inner loneliness and strength. Her flame is both gentle and cruel, protecting and hurting. Her fight is a dialogue with fate, a resistance to reality, and an expectation for the future.

    The image of Ju Fufu is filled with a touch of sadness and helplessness, but also full of the complexity and depth of human nature. Her flame, like a firework, blooms beautifully but briefly, illuminating the darkness, and will eventually return to silence.

    Such a woman is distressing, but people can’t look away. She interprets the impermanence of life and the subtlety of human nature in her own way, like a low-pitched poem, penetrating the illusion of prosperity and reaching the depths of the soul.

  • [Genshin Impact] Xitrali’s Development Guide: How to Maximize Her Support and DPS Ability

    Xitrali, a five-star ice-element magic character, shows a unique charm in the world of “Genshin Impact”. As a character that can provide strong shield support and cause ice damage to the enemy, Xitrali’s performance in battle is both intelligent and tactically deep. Her elemental combat skills can help teammates resist damage, while reducing the enemy’s resistance and improving overall output by triggering ice element reactions. Next, we will analyze Xitrali’s talents, weapons, holy relic selection, and the best team matching strategy in detail to help you maximize her potential.

    1. Talent priority: core improvement of support-type characters
    In Xitrali’s talent system, elemental combat skills and elemental burst are her key skills. Since Xitrali is positioned as a support character, her elemental combat skills not only provide shield protection, but also cause ice damage off the field, so improving elemental combat skills is crucial. This skill enables her to provide solid protection for teammates, especially in high-difficulty dungeons, where Xitrali’s shield effect can effectively reduce the threat of enemies to teammates.

    Although her elemental burst can also cause ranged ice damage and restore her “Night Soul Value”, compared with elemental combat skills, elemental burst has a slightly weaker effect on Xitrali, so its priority should be lower than elemental combat skills. Normal attacks can be completely ignored, after all, her output is not the main source. Therefore, the priority upgrade order of talents is: elemental combat skills > elemental burst > normal attack.

    2. Best weapon recommendation: balance between support and shield strength
    As a support character, Xitrali’s weapon selection should focus on improving elemental proficiency, shield strength and energy recovery. Here are some weapons that are suitable for her:

    1. Star Worship (5-star weapon)
    As the most suitable weapon for Xitrali, Star Worship provides her with a high elemental mastery bonus, and its passive skill “Night Mirror” can increase the damage output of team members for 15 seconds after creating a shield. This weapon is very suitable for enhancing Xitrali’s support ability, allowing her to protect teammates while improving the overall output of the team.

    2. Thousand Nights of Dreams (5-star alternative weapon)
    This weapon also provides elemental mastery bonuses, and improves Xitrali’s attributes by matching the element types of other characters in the team. It can further enhance her support effect, especially in multi-element teams.

    3. Sacrifice Fragment (4-star weapon)
    The passive effect of Sacrifice Fragment “Sacrifice Rebirth” allows Xitrali to use elemental combat skills more frequently, providing teammates with more shields and ice element damage. Although the basic attributes of four-star weapons are slightly inferior, their auxiliary capabilities should not be underestimated, especially for players who want to improve the efficiency of skill cycles.

    4. Prototype Amber (four-star weapon)
    If you want Xitrali to use elemental bursts more frequently, Prototype Amber will be a good choice. It can not only help restore elemental energy, but also provide health bonus, providing Xitrali with better survivability.

    3. Best Holy Relic Recommendation: Perfect Combination of Elemental Mastery and Shield Strength
    The choice of holy relics for Xitrali is mainly to improve her elemental mastery, shield strength and the overall efficiency of the team. Here are some recommended holy relic sets:

    1. Instructor Set
    The instructor set can significantly improve Xitrali’s elemental mastery, and when the elemental reaction is triggered, it can increase the elemental damage bonus of team members. For teams that mainly rely on elemental reactions, the instructor set is a key set to improve overall output. After equipping this set, Xitrali can further increase the damage of teammates by frequently triggering ice element reactions.

    2. Thousand Rocks Solid Set
    The Thousand Rocks Solid Set not only increases Sitrali’s health, but also improves her shield strength. For Sitrali, the enhanced shield allows her to provide more solid protection for her teammates, allowing her to play a greater role in the support role.

    3. Gold Dream Set
    The Gold Dream Set is also suitable for Sitrali, especially in terms of increasing elemental mastery and damage, allowing her to provide more support in battle. The four-piece effect of this set allows Sitrali to increase her attack power and elemental mastery according to the elemental type of other characters in the team, providing additional bonuses to her shield and output.

    4. Best team matching strategy: the best match between fire and water element characters
    Sitrali can enhance the output of teammates by reducing the enemy’s fire and water resistance, so her role in fire and water element teams is particularly prominent.

    Fire element team recommendation
    The match between Sitrali and fire element characters can produce a strong elemental reaction. For example, when paired with fire characters such as Hu Tao and Xiao Gong, Xitlal can increase fire damage through ice and fire reactions, while providing solid shield protection for teammates, allowing them to play a greater output in battle.

    Water Element Team Recommendation
    In water element teams, Xitlal’s ability is also not to be ignored. She can provide more output space for water element characters such as Qin or Shui Shen by reducing the enemy’s water resistance. In these teams, Xitlal can not only effectively increase the damage output of water element characters, but also protect teammates through shields and reduce enemy threats.

    V. Conclusion: Xitlal’s Support Potential and Tactical Value
    As a powerful support character, Xitlal’s unique skill combination makes her play a vital role in the team. Not only can she provide a solid shield, but she can also bring higher output to teammates by triggering ice element reactions. By properly selecting weapons, relics and team configurations, players can maximize her potential and make Xitlal an indispensable member of the team in battle.

  • The collision of fire and ice: the appearance of Mavica and Sitrali brings a new chapter to the 5.3 version of Genshin Impact

     

    Every update in the world of “Genshin Impact” is a new adventure. In the upcoming 5.3 version, Mavica and Sitrali will break through the shackles of time with their respective elemental powers and write a new chapter for this mysterious continent. The power of fire and ice will eventually intertwine under the sky of Teyvat and collide with different sparks.

    ### Shocking update of the card pool in version 5.3

    The card pool in version 5.3 will undoubtedly bring players a double feast of visual and combat power. In this update, the addition of four new characters, Mavica and Servant, Sitrali and Clorinde, makes the card pool glow with a new brilliance. Mavica in the first half of the card pool is mainly fire element, while the second half of the card pool will usher in the appearance of Sitrali, an ice element character. In addition, players will have the opportunity to draw the new four-star character Lan Yan, as well as characters that have appeared before, such as Xiawolei, Rosaria, Diona and Bennett.

    #### Mavica – The God of Fire Arrives

    Mavica, the god of fire, stands proudly on the battlefield with a greatsword in hand. Her fiery fighting spirit seems to be able to turn any obstacle into ashes. Her elemental combat skills have two forms, tap and hold. When tapping, she will summon flames to attack in coordination with the enemy, and when long pressing, she will attach fire attributes to herself, transforming into a main C output character and sweeping the enemy formation. The most eye-catching is her elemental burst. Unlike regular characters, Mavica’s burst does not rely on the accumulation of energy, but is released through “fighting spirit”. When her fighting spirit reaches 50%, it can consume all her fighting spirit and release a powerful burst skill. This skill can not only increase her attack power, but also enhance her ability to resist interruption, making her more comfortable in fierce battles.

    #### Sitrali – Frost Shield

    In sharp contrast to Mavica’s blazing fire, Sitrali’s power of ice and snow exudes infinite charm in battle. She holds a magic weapon and is a five-star ice element character. Her elemental combat skills can provide a powerful white shield for herself and her teammates. The shield can not only protect teammates, but also inflict ice damage to enemies outside the field. And her elemental burst can summon the skull of the spirit, causing range ice damage, and explode after a period of time, causing range ice damage, while restoring the night soul value for Sitrali. Her appearance will greatly enhance the team’s survivability, making every moment in the battle full of strategy.

    #### Lan Yan – Summoning of the Wind

    The four-star character Lan Yan, as a magic weapon character of the wind element, has also become the focus of players’ attention with her unique skill combination. Her elemental combat skills can create a shield, and the strength of the shield is determined by her attack power. Lan Yan’s elemental burst is a group control skill that can form a feathered swallow formation, pull surrounding enemies and objects into it, and cause multiple wind elemental range damage. This skill can not only effectively clear enemies, but also provide valuable control time for teammates, making it a very suitable character for support.

    ### The return of the Wish Collection – the charm of Liyue

    In this update, in addition to the addition of new characters, the most anticipated is the return of “Wish Collection”. The card pool of the Wish Collection will be themed on Liyue’s characters, among which Xiao, Ganyu, Baishu, Keqing, Qiqi and other powerful characters may appear in the card pool. This card pool will undoubtedly become an opportunity for players to regain these favorite characters, and Tartaglia may also join in, adding more choices to the card pool.

    ### Exposure of new skins – Hu Tao and Xiangling

    In addition to character updates and changes in card pool content, version 5.3 also has an exciting content – new skins for Hu Tao and Xiangling. It is rumored that Hu Tao and Xiang Ling will get new skins during this year’s Lantern Festival. Although the specific design has not yet been made public, this undoubtedly adds more color to the players’ expectations. Behind each skin, there is an emotional connection between the character and the player, and this skin update will undoubtedly become a highlight of version 5.3.

    ### Conclusion-A new adventure begins

    With the addition of Mavica and Xitrali, the card pool of version 5.3 not only brings new characters to players, but also adds more possibilities to the adventure journey. Whether it is a duel between fire and frost, or a collision between wind and shield, every battle will be full of new challenges and opportunities. Players can further enrich their character lineup, improve their combat effectiveness, and start a new adventure journey through this update.

    [Genshin Impact] Preview of the 5.4 version update: The legend of Ianshan and Kizuki Ayano begins again

     

    The ever-changing situation in Teyvat, every whistling of the wind and the roar of thunder, brings us new surprises. Just when travelers are still reminiscing about past adventures, new challenges and opportunities are quietly approaching. The upcoming launch of version 5.4 will allow us to witness the birth of two new characters on this vast land again. Ianshan and Kizuki Ayano, these two names will become the highlights of the new version, attracting everyone who loves Genshin Impact.

    In those day-to-day journeys, we have long been accustomed to the excitement and ups and downs of the world of Teyvat. However, just as every sea is waiting for a brave sailor, the world of Genshin Impact is also waiting for new explorers. And this time, Ianshan’s appearance, with a thunderous momentum, is like a storm that is destined not to be missed, and people cannot avoid it.

    Ianshan, as an important figure in the country of Wolu, has already revealed her figure in the chapter of Teyvat. This character, which originally seemed to have little to do with us, has finally become a hot topic among players with the arrival of version 5.4. Her lightning power seems to be the most silent existence between heaven and earth, but it releases huge energy all the time. Her spear is more like a symbol of her will. In her hands, it is not only a weapon, but also a source of power to fight against fate and the unknown.

    Ianshan’s life experience complements her personality. She was born in the country of Wolu and carries the beliefs and mission of this mysterious tribe. The land baptized by thunder and storm has made her tenacious and powerful. Her appearance is destined to be a new journey, a feast of lightning. Every time she appears, it seems to ignite the air around her, which makes people excited. And the lightning skills she brings are destined to become one of the core forces that travelers are vying to test.

    In sharp contrast to Ianshan is another new character-Kumizuki Ayano. This name sounds as gentle as water, but there is a strong wind power hidden in her heart. As the wind element magic character of Inazuma, Ayano Kizuki is destined to be a mysterious and charming existence. Her ability is as elusive and free as the wind element she represents. Every spell and every dance seems to tell the story of the never-calm land of Inazuma.

    The identity of Ayano Kizuki is still blank. Does she have a deep historical connection with Inazuma? Has she ever witnessed the changes of this land at a turbulent moment? No one can answer these questions. However, this is exactly what makes her most charming. Her wind power may be the only weapon she can rely on, and her appearance in Teyvat may be to unlock the secrets in her heart.

    As a wind element magic character, Ayano Kizuki will bring a new combat experience to players. Her ability is full of unknown potential, and therefore has become the expectation of many travelers. She will be a permanent five-star character in the 5.4 version card pool, and this identity contains great significance. Her appearance may mean that the story of Inazuma will usher in a new turning point. Will her skills reveal the secrets hidden in Inazuma? How will her relationship with other characters in Inazuma develop? These questions will become the most anticipated suspense in version 5.4.

    Whether it is the thunderous Ianshan or the peerless Kizuki Ayano, the addition of these two new characters is destined to bring a new adventure to travelers. They represent not only thunder and wind, but also two completely different powers and spirits. Thunder is silent oppression and strong explosion; wind is invisible freedom and delicate control. The opposition and symbiosis between the two is the most attractive part of version 5.4.

    The appearance of Ianshan and Kizuki Ayano is not only the addition of new characters, but also a symbol of the resurgence of the world of Teyvat. Travelers will embark on an unknown journey again to meet new challenges and opportunities. As the core characters of this version, they will surely lead us to a more exciting chapter.

    This is the unique charm of version 5.4 – it brings new characters and new stories. And every traveler will write his own legend in this world.

  • She is a burning flame, and also a name that illuminates the night.

     

    When people call the name of the god in the depths of the sea of ​​sand, the sound does not stop at the lips, but comes from the blood, from the bones, and from the desire for light in the long night. That name is Mavica.

    She is not a fictional idol, but a burning reality. She came from the volcano of Nata, wearing a coat of lava and ash, holding a two-handed sword as heavy as fate. Her appearance made the whole earth hear the sound of the flame beating – no, it was the people’s hearts beating, the will to fight, and the will not to be silent, burning in this fire god.

    Her weapon is called “Thousand Sun Flame”. Every time this big sword passes through the air, it is the fall of a scorching sun, a counterattack against indifference and oppression. When she swings her sword, critical hits and attack power burst out, not the accumulation of numbers, but the breakthrough of faith. With the blessing of the Night Soul, her power is as hot as magma, and it cannot be doubted or blocked.

    Her attack is a poem, a poem written with steel and fire. The ordinary chop is the prologue, the heavy blow is the chorus, and the falling chop is the epilogue, a final stroke when the world is silent. Every time she swings her sword, it seems to say: “I am still here, I am still burning.”

    “The moment of naming”, she summons the “Fire Arms”. It is the memory of the people and the torch of the ancestors. A tap is the ring of burning stars, and a long press is the wheelbarrow. One is a cycle of defense and attack, and the other is a symbol of speed and breakthrough. Her fire is not only used to illuminate, but also to break through barriers and cross high walls.

    When she enters the state of Night Soul Blessing, it is not just an awakening of power, but an ignition of an inner light. It is an unwilling resistance to fate, a cry into the deep night, and a farewell to silence.

    Her elemental explosion is called “The Time of Burning the Sky”. This is not a move, but a revolution. When the fighting spirit is full, she leaps up and falls like the sun, bringing about a complete change. This blow is not only to the enemy, but also a wake-up call to history, fate, and sleeping people.

    Entering the “furnace of life and death”, she no longer cares about losses. She is a furnace, a burning faith. Her attack is not limited to fighting, but a continuous confession – love and perseverance for this world.

    Her passive talent allows her to transform the sacrifice of her teammates into strength, which is a collective light, not individual glory. When the Night Soul bursts out, she is like the first person in the crowd to light a torch, igniting the fighting will of the entire team.

    Her constellation is not a decoration, but a step-by-step step. From the expansion of the Night Soul capacity, to the strengthening of the attack method, to the extreme improvement of skills. Each level of constellation brings her closer to the true weight of the word “God” – not domination, but ignition.

    And at the last level, she truly completes the transformation from a warrior to a god. Burning Star dances with the Wheel of Time, fighting and action are one. Even at the lowest point, she can ignite the flame again, because her essence has never been extinguished – she is fire, she is faith.

    When you read this, maybe you will ask: She is just a character in the game, why is she so moving? Because in her, we see what we have lost – a courage to burn, to chase, and to shout out the name.

    So, when you want to walk with this god, when you also want to ignite the long-dormant passion, then go find her in your own way. And if you need strength, then go to Treabar and help her in a real way. Because fire will not burn by itself, but you can light it.
