Aphelios casts a lunar spotlight that stops when it hits an enemy champion. Centered around the hit enemy, Aphelios deals damage and locks on to each enemy hit. A volley of basic attacks rain from the sky on top of each locked on enemy with global range based on Aphelios’s main wea

The best heroes players can start with are tank units that have lots of hp. Even many of the high-level players start out with these damage sponges because it’s the best way to protect the glass cannon units and buy time to implement more complicated strategies later

Hitman 2 will feature Halloween-themed challenges and events, plus a graveyard map, beginning on October 22. Three of those challenge packs also introduce new enemies: the Master Vampire, Master Scarecrow, and Himmapan Horror. Then, on October 25, players will get the chance to hunt down a serial killer stalking the inhabitants of Whittleton Creek. For the main event, on October 31, players can delve into a challenge pack based on old slasher films — The Uninvi

Overwatch is going all out for its Halloween Terror event with new skins and in-game rewards, plus the return of Junkenstein’s Revenge co-op mode. Every week, Junkenstein will offer new and spooky character-themed winner rewards: nine wins in each of the three weeks will yield icons, sprays, and skins for Junkrat, Baptiste, and Sombra, in that or

While a challenge is always nice, a good game should be at least moderately accessible to new players. This is where League holds an advantage over DOTA2 , because how easy it is to get into it. There are less micro-mechanisms, and the gameplay is more simplif

This might make for a controversial entry, but once in a while cutting and running will end up being the strategy that prevents RP loss. The context varies wildly, but the only solution to an unwinnable situation is getting as far away from it as possible, even if that means leaving a teammate or two beh

Although battle royale games have taken the world by storm the last few years, MOBAs are still holding their own on the market. League of Legends and DOTA2 continue to be among the most popular and classic MOBA titles available, with Heroes of the Storm as a solid third conten

Borderlands 3 may be a recent release, but Gearbox already has plenty of plans for the role-playing shooter . The Bloody Harvest is free for all Borderlands 3 players, and while the event hasn’t begun yet, its start date will be revealed later this month. Nevertheless, a few details on the spooky event are already available: Lux wild rift a new vendor named Maurice will appear onboard players’ ships who accepts a Halloween-specific currency called Hectoplasm. New enemies will also start cropping up all over the galaxy equipped with terror debuffs to knock players off their game. Later on, players will gain access to the Bloody Harvest map; a location full of haunts and led by Captain Haunt — and any player that beats him will score some choice Halloween-themed g

Today, few companies are looking to create a new MOBA. Dota2 ‘s player count has been on a slow, steady decline while League of Legends’ has mostly plateaued. Riot Games still reports LoL ’s player count as an ever-growing number , one can only assume that’s due to greater international penetration as well as longtime players creating secondary or “smurf” accou

As a Marksman who wants to use his abilities often and has empowered basic attacks, Essence Reaver and Runaan’s Hurricane are core items on Aphelios. Infinity Edge is usually the strongest third item, but the rest of the build depends on the enemy team and how the game is going. Phantom Dancer and Guardian Angel provide defensive capabilities from Assassins and burst damage, Bloodthirster provides sustainability and damage in long teamfights, and Mortal Reminder counters an enemy team with a lot of healing. As for his unique stat leveling, maxing his Attack Speed or Armor Penetration is generally the best bet. Max Attack Speed first against a squishier team, and max Armor Penetration first against an armor stacking team. The Attack Damage Aphelios gains from leveling that stat does not scale well into the late g

Tank units need to be up front to take the brunt of the damage while you’re weaker magic and damage dealers need to be in the back to stay alive. Knights get beefy damage resistances if they’re standing close to each other so it’s important to keep them spread enough to protect weaker units, but clustered enough to get the bo

It’ll be difficult to get accustomed to Aphelios’ laning phase. He starts with Calibrum and Severum and doesn’t learn his Q until level 2, so depending on the lane players will need to adapt to two different playstyles. Summoners can either play aggressively to hit level 2 first, or be overly defensive and let the enemy laners push until Aphelios can get level 2 safely. What makes Aphelios strong is his versatility. Players will need to adjust their main and off-hand weapons of choice based on lane matchups. Use Calibrum (Sniper Rifle) when the lane favors poke and harass. Severum (Pistol) and Infernum (Flamethrower) are strong against defensive lanes giving Aphelios sustain and pushing power. Crescendum can be used to provide huge damage during a gank while the crowd control that Gravitum (Graviton Cannon) provides can be used both offensively and defensiv
