Tips and tricks to survive and win in PUBG Mobile

Monday, 23 July 2018 by glo_admin

The typical PUBG Mobile game mode is a free-for-all where 100 naked and hopeless contenders are dropped upon an island littered with gear and weapons to gleefully slaughter each other until there’s just one left standing. To put the pressure on, the game area shrinks periodically, automatically disposing of players left outside the play zone. Yes, just like in the movie.

It’s not easy getting to grips with a new game and trying to survive when everyone’s out to get you, but keep these tips in mind to help you get a good start and get an edge on your rivals.

Drop into town alone

In PUBG Mobile, your first strategic moves start before you pick up a gun or even hit the ground. First, you have to choose a good place to drop.

There are two factors at play in this decision:

Buildings contain loot.
Everyone else also wants loot and is trying to kill you.

Quite a dilemma. You’ll want to aim to land next to buildings to grab the loot, but avoid the most popular ones that might be swarming with enemies.

Maybe some hotshots will want to dive straight into the crowd, pick up the first weapon and just start gunning the slowpokes, but that’s not you reading this guide yet, rookie. Instead, get a good start by aiming for a building that other players aren’t going for.

Loot first, ask questions later

There’s going to be battle, and you don’t want to be the loser who brings their firsts to a gunfight. Your first priority upon landing should be to loot. Of course, you followed our first tip and have dropped next to a building away from enemies, right? Great. Now get indoors and loot up.

A weapon is always first priority. Next is body armor and healing items to keep you alive through the action.

Once you have a choice of weapons and other items, you can start thinking about which weapons work best for you as you explore the area and take down enemies. But first, just pick up everything. PUBG Mobile has a handy auto-loot to help get this done fast.

Use the auto functions

Playing action games on a touchscreen can be awkward but PUBG Mobile has a few convenient auto functions to make it easier. Don’t make life hard for yourself. Make use of them.

Auto sprint: the icon appears when you’re running at full speed. Simply hover over it with your finger and then let go to continue running without needing to hold down.
Free look: A handy feature that rival Fortnite lacks, you can drag around the small eye icon just below the map in order to look around and keep an eye on your surroundings. This works while running so you can look around you without changing your direction.
Auto loot: Your avatar will simply pick up essential items, like rare scopes, weapons, armor, and more without you having to do anything. The game is pretty smart about this, though when your inventory is cluttered, you might want to check that it is following your preferences.

Be aggressive-remember you’re on mobile

Those of you used to PUBG on PC or Xbox might be used to a cautious style where you focus more on hiding, self-preservation and careful precision. That softly-softly approach isn’t going to work on mobile, son. Controls are less precise, accuracy is more difficult.

This means that you’re less likely to get sniped by more calculating players, and often, you can get shot at a few times before your enemy lands a hit on you.

When you hear gunfire, instead of immediately panicking and running for cover, try and turn the tables. With the skill levels between players somewhat flatted by touchscreen controls, the advantage skews in favor of sheer aggression. In PUBG Mobile, attack can be the best form of defense.

Take aim

That doesn’t mean you throw skill out of the window. Firing wildly will waste your shots and alert others to your presence. In regular PUBG you might be afraid to stand your ground and aim. Standing still means you get your head popped off.

But on Mobile, most of those shots aren’t being fired at you with any accuracy anyway, so stop and aim and make yours count. Nine times out of ten, it’ll mean you’ll be the one left standing.

Aiming is done with the small crosshair icon at the right of the screen, which you can drag around on the screen to aim. If both aiming and shooting with the right thumb is too awkward, you can go into the settings to enable an extra fire button on the left of the screen. Use whichever is faster for you in the moment. The suckers die just the same.

Use your ears

What was that about alerting others to your presence? Oh yeah. In PUBG, your sense of hearing is key. Without distracting background music, you’ll need to rely on your ears to pick up incoming shots and the sound of movement near you.

A keen ear can make the difference between life and death, so don’t be tempted to play PUBG Mobile on mute on the subway like other mobile games.

Set your preferences

In PUBG Mobile, a wise warrior always adjust the settings to make sure you fight on your terms. Sun Tzu said that, probably. The game has several settings in the options menu that often go unnoticed, but a bit of tweaking could score you victory.

Is your game running slowly or jankily? Consider setting the graphics settings to low and your FPS settings to high to allow the game to play more smoothly. War is ugly, but winning is beautiful.

You’ll also play faster and more effectively if you tweak some options to suit your style and skill level. In the menu you can adjust sensitivity settings, change location of on-screen icons and disable or adjust the auto-loot settings here. As we mentioned, enabling the left fire button can be a real game-changer.

Look out for cars

One of the most frustrating things in PUBG, Mobile or otherwise, is being caught in a death zone with no fast way to the safe area. You’ll want a fast option, and that often means a car. Once you know where cars are found, keep them in mind for when the walls close in. Some players even prioritize dropping near cars instead of their favorite weapons.

Get some help from your friends

If you’re getting repeatedly dropped in PUBG Mobile’s free-for-all, then you might want to consider playing some squad games to hone your skills, especially if you can get friends you already know to join you. Teamwork, especially with more skilled players, is a little less intense and gives you more breathing room to get to grips with the fundamentals. Your ‘friends’ may regret training you up if you ever meet face-to-bullet in a free-for-all.

That’s all our tips right now for getting starting and dominating in PUBG Mobile. We’ll be adding more as we keep playing, but if you’ve any to share, feel free to leave them in the comments below!

Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians – Beginners Guide

Monday, 25 June 2018 by glo_admin

Touchscreen turn-based strategy games are everywhere these days. We’d say they’re ten a penny, but that would be a lie because the majority of them are free-to-play.

It can be difficult to know which one to pick, but you shouldn’t have any trouble picking Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians from the crowd. For a start, it’s published by Ubisoft, who have an incredible record of bringing quality franchises to mobile.

For another thing, it’s a Might & Magic game, set a hundred years or so before the events of PC hit Might & Magic Heroes VI. Believe it or not, this epic IP has been going strong since 1986.

Whether you’re a longtime resident of Ashan or a callow newcomer, you could do with a good grounding in the ways of Elemental Guardians. That’s what we’re here for, so buckle in and get ready to level-up your strategy RPG skills.

Combat

Irrespective of the mode you’re playing, Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians puts you in charge of a squad of elemental creatures and tasks you with putting down your enemies, whether that be in wave-based PvE stages or PvP bouts in the Arena.

Each of your creatures in the field has a status bar hovering over their head, with their health indicated in green and their turn counter indicated in blue. Then the blue bar fills up, they can execute a move.

There’s also an array of skill buttons in the bottom-right. Holding a finger down on one of these brings up a box explaining what it does, while tapping on a skill button and then on a target unleashes that skill in a gout of deadly violence.

Your creatures each have an unlimited basic attack, but all of their remaining skills are on timers. Whenever you use one, you have to wait for a while before you can use it again. Skill icons gradually fill up with colour to let you know how many more turns you have to wait. Or, if seeing colors isn’t your thing, you can tap and hold to get the countdown in writing.

As well as skills, your creatures each have an elemental dimension. Arrows hovering over your targets’ heads tell you whether you have an elemental advantage or disadvantage over them. If the arrow is green, your attack will be extra powerful. If the arrow is red, your attack will be extra feeble. And if the arrow is yellow, your attack will inflict the exact average amount of damage.

You can also see status effects at a glance above each creature’s health bar. Blue means they’re enjoying a buff. Red means they’re labouring under a debuff.

Also, your avatar can pitch in with magical attacks whenever its magic meter fills up — keep an eye on the circular gauge on the left. The beauty of these attacks is that they don’t use up any of your creatures’ turns.

Those are the basic building blocks of the combat in Elemental Guardians. Here are some additional tips to help you hit the ground running.

You’ll spend most of your time in PvE taking waves of enemies, and in these situations you should always focus your fire on individuals rather than dissipating it across multiple targets. In particular it’s wise to aim for healers, since they’re easy to kill and they regenerate their comrades while alive.
There are some battles that aren’t worth seeing through, either because you know you’re going to win or you know you’re going to lose. For these situations, Elemental Guardians gives you a handy Auto button. Tapping the button hands the reins to the AI, and tapping the speed button makes the battle unfold up to three times faster. Naturally, you can seize back control at any time.
Elemental Guardians starts you off in each round with a full complement of fully charged skills. You should use them straight away, since this will give you the greatest number of uses overall in the round, and it may even give you an instant edge. Use your noodle, though — certain rounds, like those containing boss battles, may call for a more patient approach.

Building the ultimate creature army

Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians starts you off with a mere Young Griffin, and whatever other random creatures you meet in your early moments with the game. From this modest beginning you’ll create an army of battle-hardened, souped up warriors from the dozens available.

Each creature has a rank and a level, which are the two simplest and most obvious indicators of their status. But there are two other ways of determining how they should be used in battle: Role and Element.

There are four different roles, broadly speaking. Attackers are good at hurting things, Defenders are good at taking damage and drawing fire, Support creatures are good at healing and providing buffs, and Saboteurs are good at inflicting debuffs on enemies.

A creature’s elemental affinity determines how likely they are to win against other creatures with different elemental affinities. It’s a bit like rock-paper-scissors, and it works like this: Fire > Earth > Air > Water > Fire.

A strong team not only contains creatures that are high ranking and levelled up, but also a good balance of different elemental affinities and roles.

It’s likely that certain creatures will suit your style of play more than others, and you can refine these favourites still further by assigning Glyphs to them to boost particular characteristics. You can also evolve them into more powerful forms.

Here are a few tips to help you navigate the game’s complex system of enhancements, upgrades, and attributes.

While rank is a fairly powerful indicator of how tough an enemy is likely to be, it’s not everything. A 3-star creature at level 30 is likely to triumph over a 4-star creature at level 10, so make sure you pay attention to all of the information available. This matters most in the Arena, where you’ll meet opponents who seem weak only to discover that they’re as strong as oxen, and twice as unkind.

You can have up to three saved teams in Elemental Guardians, so it’s a good idea to have several super-powerful, highly evolved characters so that each of your squads has plenty of depth. Naturally you’ll want to have squads that skew towards certain attributes, such as attacking or healing.

It’s easy to overlook speed when choosing creatures to go in your squad, but this can be a hugely important attribute. A creature with a fast recharge may get the extra turn that makes the difference. You should also aim to include a creature that can remove debuffs, and a Defender who can draw fire away from the rest of your team.

Playing in AR

There are two ways to enjoy the spectacle of Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians’s AR. In the Arena, where you can watch full PvP battles in AR, or in the creature collection list, the Menagerie, which lets you view your creatures out in the real world and take photos.

You’ll also need a compatible device, a sufficient quantity of light, and a nice flat surface. Assuming you’ve got all of that, just enter either the Arena or the Menagerie and look for the cube icon in the top-right of the screen and give it a tap.

In the Arena, the slider on the left of the screen lets you change the scale of the arena itself. Once you’ve got it how you like it, tap Go to commence the battle, which will play out in the normal way except projected via your screen onto a surface in the real world. You can swing all the way around the action by getting up and moving around, and you can even tilt your device downwards to see a pit of hellish fire.

The gameplay is unaffected by this AR overhaul, but it’s certainly a neat and immersive way to view your battles and creatures.

Use these tips to your advantage by downloading Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians on Google Play now.

Pokémon Go update brings trading, friends list to the game

Monday, 25 June 2018 by glo_admin

MAKING FRIENDS IN POKÉMON GO
Friendship in Pokémon Go comes with special bonuses, according to Niantic. The social feature will encourage players to exchange six-letter, personalized Trainer Codes (think Nintendo’s Friend Code system) in order to add each other to their list of friends. Once a friend request has been accepted, trainers then can check out their friends’ stats in the main profile screen, including what their most recent in-game activity was.

From there, players have the option to send each other gifts online. These new items will be found at PokéStops or gyms and can only be used for sharing with friends. The cool part is that these can include helpful items, but also exclusive Pokémon Eggs — a new, yellow Egg that requires players to walk seven kilometers to hatch. Once it does, they’ll receive an exclusive, Egg-only Alolan form of a classic Pokémon.

All of this is important, but the most significant thing about the Friends feature is the Friendship Level. When players befriend each other, they start out essentially as acquaintances. The more they interact, however, the higher their Friendship Level comes. Battling a Gym or in a Raid together (a local-only feature) adds to that gauge, as does giving presents to one another or trading Pokémon (more on that in a second).

The four tiers are Good Friend, Great Friend, Ultra Friend and Best Friend, with each granting additional bonuses. Battling a Gym with an Ultra Friend throws in a higher attack bonus than you’d get fighting with a Good Friend, for example. You’ll also get trading benefits and access to a unique version of Pokémon trading as you become better friends with someone.

TRADING POKÉMON IN POKÉMON GO
Friendship is a crucial addition to the game, but trading feels like an essential one. It’s certainly a long time coming; Niantic first teased that it would allow players to swap monsters in Pokémon Go in the game’s debut trailer. Since then, CEO John Hanke and others have continued to promise that trading was still on its way.

The first thing to know about the trading function is that, in its first incarnation, it only works locally. Players cannot exchange Pokémon online; they must be physically near each other in order to initiate a trade. They must also have reached level 10 in-game to gain access to the feature.

Once those boxes are checked, however, anything goes. There are no limitations on which Pokémon players can send to each other, pending approval from their trading partner. There is one extra step, however, and that’s the stardust required to complete each trade. Depending on your Friendship level, trades will cost more or less stardust; Best Friends may only have to spend 40,000 of the item while those who have just met may have to spend a million.

Where it really helps to have close friends is with Special Trades. These trades are only available to Great Friends and above, and they’re the only way to exchange the following: Legendary Pokémon, shiny Pokémon and Pokémon you’ve yet to log in your Pokédex (like regional exclusives). Special Trades come with an inherently high stardust cost, but that will also go down as your Friendship level goes up.

As for the trading process itself, it looks a lot like trading in the mainline games. Your Pokémon face each other on special screen, and you watch them transfer over from your phone to your friend’s. You then greet the Pokémon and can even change its nickname. A quirk of note is that trading randomizes the stats of the Pokémon, with higher Friendship levels increasing the likelihood that your new Pokémon will retain any of the high-powered stats it had under its previous ownership.

WHAT’S STILL TO COME
“Trading definitely changed a lot [from its original design], and we have to take a lot of safety considerations for players and also the safety for the game value,” Kirsten Koa, lead software engineer on the social features update, told a small group of gathered press during E3 2018. “We don’t want to devalue their effort by making trading so easy to complete your Pokédex.”

This is the philosophy behind restricting Pokémon trading to in person-only. Don’t expect remote trading any time soon, Koa told us; it’s against the point of the Pokémon Go experience. For Koa and the Niantic team, these updates are all about increasing the social element of the mobile game, which remains a key part of the game’s roadmap.

“WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THINGS RIGHT”
The Friends feature is also something we should expect Niantic to continue toying with. The cap on Friends will start at 200, but that number may increase in later version updates. The hope is that players meet at events like Pokémon Go Fest, swap Trainer Codes (however unwieldy) and start gifting. It’s a bit tougher to maximize the benefits of a strong Pokémon Go friendship with people who live farther away, but perhaps that’s why events like Community Days and Go Fest just keep gaining ground.

“[I grew up] playing a ton of Pokémon games and watching the anime and collecting and trading the Pokémon, cards with my sisters and friends at school,” Koa said of her experience designing the update. “Friends and trading is a really important aspect of the Pokémon franchise, so leading the implementation has been one of the most exciting but stressful points of my career.

“We wanted to make sure that we got things right.”

Expect friends and trades to arrive by the end of this week — meaning players should be acclimated by July’s Go Fest, where they’ll be sure to make even more friendships and trades.

Update: Pokémon Go’s trading feature is now live in-game and available to all players level 10 and up. Players must also be at least 13 years old in order to participate.

8 Lesser Known Clash of Clans Strategy Tips, Cheats, and Hacks to Beat Anyone

Monday, 26 March 2018 by glo_admin

Many players are vexed by its freemium model and are looking for ways to get ahead using gems. You can use these to speed up production or get the resources you’re missing when buying a unit or building. Rather than forking over cash for the green gems, check out our Clash of Clans guide for strategies, tips, cheats, and hacks to get you ahead for free.

Download: Clash of Clans for Android | iOS (Free)

1. Base Building Guides

A quick YouTube search nets you the ideal configuration for your base at every level. Supercell, the developer of the game, has a multitude of videos you can choose based on your level. Each contains a guide on how to place your walls and buildings in an ideal configuration to fend off attackers. You need a solid defense to avoid losing your gold and elixir.

There are also building guides for Clash of Clans‘ Builder Base, the new mode that arrived as part of a massive expansion. In this, units and buildings play slightly differently from the primary base mode. Plus, your two bases do not share resources.

Playing this part of the game generates gems you can use to maximize your main base. You also get bonus upgrades to your main base’s buildings like the double cannon. The way the two modes play off each other makes this mode vital to maximizing your gems and resources.

2. Attack Guides

Crafting the perfect defense is vital for protecting your resources. However, the perfect attack is just as important. As with crafting your base, Supercell has guides to combining your units in creative ways. These show some more efficient ways to maximize your attack. The videos give you the combination of units and their target levels, and then assist you in playing out the attack.

YouTube can get you better results, though. Here you can find guides to the more general tactics of attacking. So regardless of your level, you can attack more efficiently. Better troop direction can get you more resource rewards when attacking. It can also get you bigger bonuses in clan wars.

Experiment with different Clash of Clans attack strategies, and you’ll progress much faster.

3. Get a Clan

Clans are pretty straightforward. Get some friends or other players and attack other groups of players in wars. Clan members donate units to aid in attack and defense, which comes in handy at lower levels. If you are not fighting in Clan Wars, you are missing out on significant resource bonuses.

There’s a slightly different strategy at work in wars, thus you’ll find separate guides devoted to layouts for war bases. The critical difference is that war bases do not require you to protect your resources.

If you do not have a clan, Supercell recently rolled out a new subreddit. Here, clans recruit new members. Head over there and sign up to find a clan and get more resources.

4. Single-Player Mode

There’s no denying the fun of the multiplayer battles and the war system in Clash of Clans. You could be forgiven for overlooking the single-player mode. It contains 50 stages with three stars, awarded in the same way as multiplayer battles. You earn one star for dealing 50% damage, one for destroying the town hall, and another for destroying the entire base.
