  • Luminous Dancer of the Summer Sky

    The Graceful Dancer of the Game World: Shakū
    In the fantasy world of ” Crescendo,” where music and combat intertwine, there exists an unforgettable character known as Shakū. Like a gentle breeze, she dances through this realm of dazzling effects and immersive soundscapes, her movements as fluid as flowing water one moment and as sharp as a storm the next.
    As a five-star Aero Gun Resonant, Shakū plays an indispensable role in the entire game world. She is like a dancing spirit of the wind, bringing endless energy and surprises. Her presence makes the game world more vivid and colorful. Not only can she deal massive damage from behind the scenes, but she also provides meticulous care for her teammates. Every move, every skill she performs is like a melody that adds depth and beauty to this world.
    On the battlefield, Shakū showcases her remarkable agility and adaptability. She seamlessly transitions between roles, whether dealing damage, supporting her team, or moving between the front and back lines. Her every turn seems like a carefully choreographed dance, leaving onlookers in awe. While her skill mechanics appear complex, they are filled with fun and challenge, requiring players to study and experience them thoroughly to unlock her full potential.
    To help players better understand and master Shakū’s combat style and growth path, this article will delve into various aspects, including skill upgrades, weapon choices, resonant combos, and team recommendations.
    First, let’s examine Shakū’s skill upgrade priorities. Among her skills, Resonant Liberation stands out as the most crucial. It not only delivers devastating attacks but also provides significant support effects for her teammates, making it her ultimate move. Therefore, Resonant Liberation has the highest priority, rated ★★★★★. Next is Resonant Circuit, a skill that gathers enemies, creating better attack opportunities for her team, earning it a ★★★ rating. Her basic attacks and resonant skills are rated ★★ and ★★ respectively, while her Encore skill is rated ★, as it is primarily used as a support skill and can be prioritized lower.
    Next, let’s look at the recommended weapons for Shakū. As an offensive character, Shakū requires weapons with high critical hit rates. Therefore, weapons with critical hit attributes are strongly recommended.
    The top recommendation is her exclusive weapon, “The Lullaby of the Forest.” This five-star weapon boasts an impressive 36% critical hit rate and a unique effect. When Shakū applies the Aero Erosion effect to enemies, her Aero damage increases by 24% for 10 seconds. Additionally, attacking enemies affected by Aero Erosion reduces their Aero resistance by 10% for 20 seconds. This effect significantly enhances Shakū’s offensive capabilities, making her a formidable force in battle.
    If players are unable to obtain her exclusive weapon, the following four-star alternatives are recommended:

    “Romance of Farewell”: This four-star weapon offers an 18.2% increase in attack power. When dealing damage to enemies with abnormal effects, Shakū’s attack power increases by 8%, lasting 10 seconds, with the effect triggering once per second and stacking up to four layers.

    “Paradox Jet”: This four-star weapon provides a 30.4% increase in attack power. When Shakū uses her resonant skills, she gains 10 points of resonant energy, which can be crucial for maintaining her offensive momentum.

    By equipping the right weapons and mastering her skills, players can fully unleash Shakū’s potential and enjoy the dynamic gameplay she offers in the world of Crescendo.

  • Treabar – Attention original God of War players! Harmony OS beta testing is about to start. Come and register!

    The hearts of countless players of “Genshin Impact” can now be relieved of half their worries. In the morning, the original Genshin Impact 1st Customer Service Doll of miHoYo posted a message announcing the start of the recruitment for Genshin Impact users testing the HarmonyOS.
    For many players with HarmonyOS 5 devices who are deeply concerned about the realm of Teyvat, this is indeed a good news. Since the launch of the HarmonyOS game ecosystem, a series of popular games have completed the adaptation and launched on the official server, and they feel very envious. Now, the question of “will Genshin Impact be the next one?” has finally received a positive answer.
    Of course, the official’s attitude remains as tight as ever: the entire testing process will be kept confidential, and the selected travelers must sign strict confidentiality agreements, prohibiting any form of leakage (such as screenshots, live streaming, videos, etc.) of the testing content. It seems that miHoYo intends to surprise everyone with a big surprise when the final version is released!
    For us players, the most concerned issue is always the actual experience. As a game renowned for its high-quality art and complex scenes, “Genshin Impact” is often referred to as the “teststone for flagship phone performance.” Whether it can smoothly run high-quality graphics without lag is essentially a hard criterion for measuring a device’s gaming performance.
    Therefore, how much improvement the HarmonyOS 5 version will bring is the focus of everyone’s attention. Can it bring smoother frame rates, lower power consumption, and faster loading times? Not only does this test the optimization skills of miHoYo, but it also tests the underlying scheduling capabilities of HarmonyOS 5. However, from the 21% improvement in finger responsiveness of the HarmonyOS version of “王者荣耀,” it is evident that HarmonyOS 5’s underlying optimization is indeed up to the task, giving us some confidence.
    Looking at the progress of the HarmonyOS game ecosystem, recent developments have indeed caught our attention. Games such as “王者荣耀” and “和平精英” from the Tencent ecosystem have been running stably on HarmonyOS 5, and the official version has performed exceptionally well. Now, “Genshin Impact” joining the fray means that the HarmonyOS’s ability to adapt to different types of games is accelerating towards maturity. From MOBA to shooting, and then to open-world RPG, the playability of HarmonyOS games is steadily improving, and players have more choices.
    Although it may still be a while before the official version of HarmonyOS “Genshin Impact” is launched, the opening of the recruitment for the testing phase at least proves that everything is moving in the right direction. If you want to experience the Teyvat realm in HarmonyOS version of “Genshin Impact” as soon as possible, hurry and register on miHoYo’s platform!

  • Feng Jin’s growth path walking on the footprints of memory on the Star Dome Railway

    In the collapsed world, Feng Jin’s existence is like a breeze, passing through every journey of the Star Dome Railway. Her growth was not achieved overnight, but through countless challenges and self-transcendence. From her, I saw every soul that was indomitable in the face of fate, and saw countless people moving forward firmly in adversity.

    Feng Jin’s story began with her material journey. These seemingly cold numbers and objects are actually metaphors of her life. She needs 56 “fears to crush flesh and blood”, and each piece of flesh and blood contains her inner fear. Fear, the emotion that stops countless people, is Feng Jin’s indispensable key to growth. Who has not had fear in our lives? Fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of unbearable pain. But Feng Jin did not choose to escape. She chose to face it and chose to measure the depth of fear with her own footsteps. Fear eventually became her strength, supporting her to move forward and to grow continuously.

    What followed was 71 “brave chests”. Every time the heart is torn, it means a self-rebirth. Courage is not innate, it is bred in setbacks, and it is sublimated in pain and struggle. In Feng Jin, we see a brave soul. Her courage is not conspicuous, but it is the most tenacious power. It is hidden deep in her heart, sometimes shining, sometimes hidden, but it never disappears.

    More importantly, Feng Jin has 73 “glory baptism bodies” obtained in this journey. Glory is not always gorgeous, it can be persistence in loneliness, or silent struggle. Feng Jin’s glory is obtained in struggles again and again, and it is the calmness that still stands when the soul is oppressed. Behind her glory, there are countless tears and unknown efforts. She has no gorgeous appearance, nor amazing performance, but she has completed her growth in the most real way.

    On this Star Dome Railway, Feng Jin drank a glass of “Drunken Times”. She has lost herself in time, and she has also found herself in the passage of time. For Feng Jin, this glass of wine is not only an intoxication, but also a baptism of the heart. In countless days and nights, she saw her past and future in this glass of wine, and saw the helplessness and expectations she had in the past. The passage of time cannot change her beliefs, but makes her more determined to move forward.

    Her exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” represents the eternal light in her heart. This light cone is not only a symbol of her strength, but also a pillar of her spirit. On the road ahead, Feng Jin constantly interweaves materials and beliefs, and strives to improve herself until her light cone blooms with dazzling light. This light not only illuminates her front, but also guides other confused souls to the bright other side.

    Feng Jin has to make hard efforts for every breakthrough. Every piece of “fear crushing flesh and blood”, every “courage tearing the chest”, is a testimony of her journey. Through continuous accumulation, she gradually accumulated her own strength, which comes from her inner tenacity and her expectations and dreams for the future.

    Everyone who walks on the Star Dome Railway has his own story. Feng Jin’s story is not special, but her growth is so touching. She is not born strong, nor is she fearless. Every step she takes is an exploration and pursuit of her own soul. In her journey, there is no shortcut, only step by step. Just like the life of each of us, only after constant tempering can we gradually bloom our own brilliance.

    In Feng Jin, we see the power of persistence, courage and glory. She never bowed her head because of difficulties, but found her own value and meaning in difficulties. Every journey is a baptism of her soul, and every journey is the sublimation of her soul.

    Just as Feng Jin continues to accumulate materials, gradually, her light becomes more dazzling. Her story also echoes in every corner of the Star Dome Railway. Her name symbolizes perseverance and hope. She is not only looking for her own future, but also teaching everyone who walks with her how to find their own light in the wind and rain.

    Her journey is not over, but her story has been deeply engraved in everyone’s heart.

  • About the secrets hidden behind the material collection of Xiakong in Mingchao game and the analysis of players’ psychology

    In the game Mingchao, Xiakong, as the latest five-star resonator, has attracted the attention of countless players. Her material requirements seem to be ordinary upgrade materials, but in fact they hide a series of thought-provoking secrets and reveal the subtle changes in players’ psychology. This article will explore the connotation behind Xiakong’s material collection from the perspectives of game design, the logic of material collection and player behavior psychology.

    There are many kinds of materials required for Xiakong’s breakthrough and upgrade, including low-frequency, medium-frequency, high-frequency and full-frequency tide erosion sail cores, burning phosphorus bones and golden wool, etc. The large number is enough to make any player feel stressed. On the surface, these numbers represent the threshold of growth, but in fact they are a test of endurance and mind. Every player is walking through this “digital maze” and trying to climb to the top.

    A closer look will reveal that the game designer cleverly uses the player’s obsession with “completing the task” to disperse the materials into multiple different enemies and levels. This not only prolongs the game time, but also makes players develop a psychological dependence of “constant investment to achieve success”. In particular, the way to obtain the material “Burning Phosphorus Bone” requires defeating the powerful Sighing Ancient Dragon, which has become the “ultimate challenge” in the hearts of many players. The design of this challenge is not only a test of the player’s skills, but also a test of their psychological limits.

    The appearance of the material “Golden Fleece” is more like an obscure symbol. In the game, the Golden Fleece can not only be obtained by exploring the Lina Xi Tower, but also can be purchased with shells in the Laguna City Pharmacy Shop, but the purchase is limited to 15 per week. This purchase limit mechanism seems to give players the freedom to choose, but in fact it creates a “sense of time scarcity”, prompting players to return to the game frequently, forming a cycle of “regular feeding”.

    In the part of special weapon materials, the level progression from simple shackles, basic shackles, modified shackles to special shackles can’t help but remind people of the metaphor of “shackles”. In the process of continuous upgrading, players seem to be bound by this “chain” invisibly. You know that your freedom is restricted, but you have to continue to invest resources to pursue the “ideal weapon” that is getting farther and farther away. This is a profound psychological tug in game design.

    The different levels of crystallized phlogiston – impurities, crude extraction, distillation, and high purity – are not accidental. This progressive design encourages players to experience a gradual sense of growth from simple to complex, from low to high. However, this growth is not linear, but cyclical. You brush materials and upgrade characters, but at some point you will fall into a “fatigue period”, with psychological anxiety and reduced motivation.

    In particular, the way to obtain “Iris Blooming Day” is more symbolic. It must be obtained by defeating the weekly challenge “Wheel of Fate Fragmentation”. The name of the challenge itself is full of hints: the turning point of fate and the break of chapters seem to remind players that the road to growth is not smooth. Every success of the challenge is like finding a new fulcrum in the cracks of fate, supporting the motivation to move forward.

    The existence of recharge channels and discount codes exposes the commercial nature of the game. Players are motivated to pay to obtain in-game resources faster, forming an invisible formula of “payment = progress”. Through this commercial packaging, players’ investment is not only time, but also money, and the interweaving of the two constitutes an unavoidable reality in the modern game ecosystem.

    Interestingly, the introduction of props such as “stuffed meat tofu” in the game to increase the drop of materials has strengthened the concept of “efficiency is value”. Players try to shorten their growth cycle by improving efficiency for a short period of time, but often fall into the constant pursuit of efficiency. Just like the “fast-paced” life in real society, what players experience in the game is not only virtual growth, but also a reflection of the rhythm of real life.

    Overall, behind the collection of Xiakong materials is not only the precise control of the player’s psychology by the game designer, but also the process of self-challenge and cognition of the player. In this game and psychological game, players constantly adjust strategies, manage emotions, find motivation, and try to find their own balance point in a complex system.

    Perhaps, this is the deep meaning of Mingchao’s design of Xiakong’s character material system: it is not only a tool for players to grow, but also reflects the hidden experience of “persistence and anxiety coexisting” in real life. Only by truly understanding this can players gain deeper satisfaction and fun in the game.

    In the future, with the update of Mingchao’s version and the continuous exploration of players, Xiakong’s story will continue. And these complex material collections will continue to guide players to find the true meaning of themselves between virtuality and reality.
