As the maker of many interesting match-3 games, Playrix released Gardenscapes in 2016, which is widely loved by many players because of its clever combination of match-3 game mechanics and an interesting plot of garden renovation. In the development of this game, it gradually turned some events into regular events, allowing players to explore a unique gaming experience whenever they open the game.

So in this guide, we will introduce you to a list of regular events in Gardenscapes, so that you can quickly integrate into it during the event. Without further ado, start exploring!

Bowling Match

This Bowling Match event is a team competition that requires you to team up with other players. As the name of this event suggests, you need to participate in a bowling game with your team according to your level and strive for a good score in the top 5 among 20 teams.

It should be noted here that you need at least 5 companions to participate in this event, and after the event starts, you will not be able to change or quit the team, otherwise you cannot get all the rewards.

When your team gets the top five after hard work, you will get very generous Coins rewards: 6,000 Coins for the first place, 3,000 Coins for the second place, 2,000 Coins for the third place, 1,500 Coins for the fourth place, and 1,000 Coins for the fifth place. In addition, regardless of whether your team gets the final reward, the top three people who contribute the most in the team can also get rewards - boosters.

Golden Cup

If you have completed all the levels on the main chain, you can participate in Golden Cup and compete with other outstanding players. This requires you to fight alone. The higher the points you get, the higher your ranking will be. Very generous rewards will be given to those in the top ten on the ranking list, at different times throughout the week. The earlier you start, the more coins you can earn.

Or you can also get Golden Cup by completing some special levels, which also symbolizes the supreme glory. However, it should be noted that these special levels are very difficult, and you may need the power-ups in the kits provided to you in Gardenscapes Top Up to help you complete them.

It is important to note that new levels are added to the main level chain regularly. The faster you beat them, the faster you can join the tournament and become one of the top players.

Magic Hats

Unlike the previous two events, Magic Hats is a limited-time event and is only available to players at level 31 and above. In this event, every time you pass a level, you will receive a bonus hat for entering the next level. As with many events, passing more levels means getting better rewards, such as additional power-ups.

However, it is also important to note that you need to try to get the last hat before the event ends, because this is the prerequisite for you to get the highest reward, otherwise you will directly lose this game against many outstanding players.

Super Rainbow Blast

It is important to remind you that this event is a feature in the beta version of Gardenscapes and may not appear in the official version, but just in case, we also introduce it to you.

After you beat level 291 in the main chain, you can participate in this event. Here, you need to complete 10 levels, and at the end you will get the upgraded Rainbow-Blast booster. Unlike the normal version, it eliminates two colors of pieces each time it is activated, instead of one.

It is worth mentioning that if you lose a level after activating Rainbow-Blast booster, you will need to pass 10 levels again to activate this excellent power-up.

Team Chest

Like Bowling Match, Team Chest is also a team event. As a team member, you need to collect Team Chest Keys in the levels in the main chain with your teammates as much as possible to open a treasure chest with extra lives, power-ups and some coins.

Even if the last treasure chest is not opened, the three players on a team who contributed the most during the game will receive additional rewards at the end of the event.

These are the 5 more common events in Gardenscapes. I hope you can have a unique gaming experience in this fun match-3 game. I wish you a happy game!

In COD Black Ops 6 Zombies, besides weapon upgrades, various Augments are also key factors in improving players’ survivability and combat efficiency. Here are some powerful Augments and their best application scenarios.

6. Reactive Armor-Juggernog

In COD Black Ops 6 Zombies, Major Augment Reactive Armor greatly improves its practicality and tactical value. When players are equipped with the improved Reactive Armor, every time a zombie destroys an armor plate of yours, it will not only not cause immediate damage to the player, but will trigger an effect similar to a Concussion Grenade, and all enemies within a certain range will be stunned for a short time.

This mechanism is particularly effective against powerful enemies that appear in the later stages, such as Super Sprinters. These fast-moving and powerful enemies can often quickly approach and attack players, but if they try to cause damage by destroying your armor, they will cause trouble for themselves.

In addition, this feature is also very helpful in the early stages of the game. It allows players to deal with groups of zombies more calmly and reduces the risk of being surrounded. Since zombies cannot attack or move in any way during the duration of the stun, this also creates good conditions for mutual support between team members.

5. Citrus Focus-Elemental Pop

With Elemental Pop, you can assign specific damage types to your weapons, and can also cause additional effects on enemies based on the equipped modules. Each Ammo mod has its own unique uses and advantages, and exhibits different effects when targeting enemies with unique characteristics. This perk can trigger a random mod.

However, when the player uses Major Augment “Citrus Focus”, it will ensure that only specific elemental modules that are explicitly selected and loaded onto the currently used weapon will be triggered. This mechanism is very effective for dealing with some particularly powerful or difficult enemies in the game.

For example, Manglers, Amalgamations and Abominations. If you have tried this method and still can’t defeat these powerful enemies, don’t worry, CoD Black Ops 6 Boosting can be used as an option to help you easily brush monsters.

4. Dr Ram - PHD Flopper

PHD Flopper prevents players from accidentally hurting themselves when using explosives. This feature is particularly important in tense and exciting game environments because it reduces deaths caused by disoperation. In addition, when players jump from a prominent place, PHD Flopper will cause a certain range of damage around the landing point.

However, Dr Ram has made innovative improvements to PHD Flopper, adding a third extremely useful interactive function. While performing a tactical sprint action, players can use their shoulders to push away zombies in front of them. This new perk is similar to the highly praised “Tackle” ability in Dying Light, which allows players to directly face and clear out groups of zombies that block their way forward.

3. Dead Break - Deadshot Daquiri

Although Dead Break is classified as a Minor Augment, its practicality is particularly evident in advanced rounds. Players will encounter many armored enemies in the late game, especially Manglers, which are not only powerful in their own right but also appear frequently at chief difficulty levels.

Dead Break is an effective way to control these high-defense enemies, keeping them in control for longer periods of time. Compared to other methods of removing enemy armor, Dead Break does not require additional perks or resource investment to work. It also works seamlessly with Ammo Mods and Major Augment Dead Head.

2. Hot Foot-Stamin-Up

Hot Foot is a Minor Augment that increases the player’s movement speed after successfully executing a tactical kill. A simple and effective strategy to utilize Hot Foot is to carry a lot of battle axes as weapons. Battle axes can be used repeatedly and have a smaller number limit than some other deadly projectiles.

1. Equivalent Exchange-Quick Revive

Equivalent Exchange allows another way to extend the run. Usually, the player can revive by killing an enemy while down, but this requires the use of a Self-Revive Kit. In the traditional setting, you can only make a maximum of three revive kits per run, but Equivalent Exchange can provide you with an additional three revive kits per run when the player is down. This gives players more room to survive and counterattack when facing numerous zombies.

This perk works better when used with certain weapons such as Ray Gun and Sally and Forth. The feature of these weapons is that they can be used when the player is down, and because of their explosive damage, it is easier to hit and eliminate surrounding enemies in an emergency, thereby increasing the success rate of resurrection.

In short, each Augment provides players with unique tactical options and ways to survive. The reasonable use of these augments will make players more comfortable in the face of the continuous influx of zombies and enjoy this exciting survival challenge.

If you have played shooting games, you will find that the game usually needs to be based on a certain map to carry out various battles or activities, and Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is no exception.

When you enter the actual combat, you will find that the maps in Black Ops 6 not only use various complex terrain designs to bring you a thrilling shooting combat experience, but also highlight its characteristics to make you feel more real when you walk through the map.

At present, some of the existing maps in BO6 are classic old maps from previous games. After all, the entire game series has a history of more than 20 years, and many old maps are worth returning again. Based on this, we will introduce you to 10 relatively good classic maps that are likely to return in BO6 in the future.

1. Kowloon

This map was first launched in the original Call of Duty: Black Ops in 2010 as part of its First Strike map pack. Compared with other maps of the same period, Kowloon was a bit ahead of its time because of its large scope, so it was not a popular map.

But CoD Black Ops 6, as a new game released this year, is enough to show the full picture of Kowloon in terms of game smoothness and exquisite graphics. And you can now move quickly in BO6, so the large map is not only no longer a disadvantage, but can be a good supplement.

If you find that its large scope makes it difficult for you to experience it after Kowloon is really launched, you can also choose it as a map in CoD BO6 Bot Lobbies to practice first, to avoid mistakes such as getting lost in actual battles.

2. Battery

As another DLC map that has been forgotten by most players for many years, Battery comes from Call of Duty: World at War released in 2008. Maybe you didn’t even know it existed before.

Overall, Battery is a relatively small map, but the two towers attached to the side of the main game area make it feel much larger than it actually is. In fact, Battery is a perfect map even for Black Ops 6. Its external part is a playground for snipers, and its interior is very suitable for close-quarters combat.

3. Carrier

If the game makers want to further create a chaotic combat atmosphere in BO6 later, then Carrier is the most suitable map to provide a venue for such combat. Carrier debuted in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in 2012. Although it is relatively large in scale, it may be one map with the most close-quarters combat in the series.

Here, the obstacles scattered on the map will force you to duel in close quarters, so your next battle is always around the next corner, and the whole battle process is bound to be full of tension. So in order to better deal with this more dangerous map, you can upgrade your weapons in advance through CoD: Black Ops 6 Boosting to enhance your combat effectiveness.

4. Raid

Sometimes, the content of the map is also one criterion for whether Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has a rich game style, and if Hollywood Hills mansion map in BO2, Raid, can return, it will undoubtedly add to your Black Ops 6 game style with its characteristics.

When fighting in Raid, you can enjoy the convenience of long-distance sightlines from both sides of the center lane as a sniper, while moving to the center may reward you with the unique running and shooting game style of BO6. In addition, in terms of game modes, Raid is unique because it is suitable for almost all modes and has strong versatility.

5. Launch

As a map born in 2010, Launch’s mid-map rocket launch was very popular when it first appeared, but surprisingly, this mechanism is still popular in Call of Duty series today. Because it can add dynamic elements to the game map, making the entire game more challenging.

We believe that if Launch returns in CoD Black Ops 6, it can further enhance the dynamic effect of rocket launches and give new life to the old map.

6. Summit

Currently, Black Ops 6 lacks a good enough search and destroy map, so if Summit can return, it will make up for this deficiency.

First appeared in Call of Duty Black Ops, each area in Summit is very narrow, and one wrong step means destruction. So you need to clean up every corner of this map. If such a tactical map can appear in BO6, it will definitely bring new features to the game’s run-and-gun game loop.

7. Castle

Compared with other classic maps, Castle, which was born in CoD World at War, its bird’s-eye view layout told us that this is a humble map. However, the many blind spots it contains will naturally draw players to the center of the map, making the battle more concentrated. 

8. Firing Range

If you’ve experienced Firing Range in CoD Black Ops, you’ll know that its three-lane layout is perfect. Long-range encounters take place in the outer lanes, the middle lane becomes a mess, and the objective matches on the shooting range are absolutely exciting.

If Firing Range returns in BO6, it will be its fifth appearance in CoD series. Judging by its excellent performance, there is a reason it has returned so many times.

9. Standoff

Originally released in BO2 in 2012, Standoff is arguably one of the best objective maps ever in CoD series. It features a lot of verticality, allowing you to engage from almost anywhere. The last time Standoff appeared was in Black Ops Cold War, but given its popularity, it’s no surprise that it’s returning again in Black Ops 6.

10. Hijacked

Hijacked is one of the best Call of Duty multiplayer maps ever, but surprisingly, it has only returned once since its debut in Black Ops 2, in Black Ops Cold War. Therefore, we speculate that it is likely to appear again in BO6.

Hijacked is the best embodiment of symmetrical map design, with two main structures on the yacht facing each other, and close-range chaos happening between them. This is already a very fast-paced map, and the full range of movement in BO6 may amplify this feature.

After the introduction, are you looking forward to these maps more? I believe that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will bring them back as soon as possible to enrich your gaming experience.

Adventurers, the long-awaited Old School MapleStory is finally back! As the first server to rebuild the old school, Artale is online in MapleStory Worlds, where you can create your own game using MapleStory resources.

However, it differs slightly from ordinary old school servers. It is not just a simple reproduction of Old School MapleStory, because there will be some surprising changes!

New Changes

Since this is a game completely rebuilt using the game creator of MapleStory Worlds, the physics effects in the game may be slightly different. For example, when your character falls from a certain height and the map needs to keep up, you will notice this, and UI also looks slightly different.

In addition, the creator of this server tried to eliminate some annoyances of Old School MapleStory. For example, Assassin and Archer will not start to regularly attack monsters that are too close, and your pet will never go hungry.

Free Market

It is worth mentioning that the fun Free Market is back! But since only 50 players can be online in one instance of the game, there are no shops set up. Instead, the game uses an Auction House, just like modern MapleStory. In Free Market, you can also visit a cash shop, where you can support the server.

Increased EXP Rate

After entering Artale, you will notice that leveling in this server is a little faster than you remember, because they have slightly increased EXP rate. There is double EXP from level 1 to level 70, and 1.5 times EXP from level 71 to level 100. But the drop rate of Artale Mesos remains the same.

And of course there is the nostalgic Party Quest. Currently, there are Moon Bunny PQ or Henesys PQ and Kerning PQ. The rewards for PQ have also been increased, and you will get double EXP through PQ. Therefore, this is also a good leveling option, in my opinion!

Party Quest

For Party Quest in Artale server, the global soft launch has already made quite a lot of content available! Victoria Island, Orbis, El Nath, Dead Mine, Ludibrium, and Zipangu are all there. Zakum and Papulatus are both coming later. They have been slightly modified to make the fights more exciting.

Grinding Tips

Even with the double EXP, grinding is still slow. However, it’s more fun than a 30 minute cutscene when creating Explorers now. If you’re also grinding on Artale MapleStory at a lower level, I recommend going to the hidden map on the way to Mushmom. It’s small, and there are a lot of Orange Mushrooms here, making it a perfect grinding spot for this level. If you’re lucky, you even have a chance to find a Scroll here.

If you want to make your grinding more efficient, you can find a Work Glove and some Gloves for Attack Scrolls. You can also invest in Artale Mesos to get an Icarus Cape, so you can move a little faster.

Final Thoughts

Currently, Artale is the first and only old school server officially released on MapleStory Worlds. There are a lot of people waiting for MapleLand, which is currently very popular in MapleStory Worlds Korea, because it is just a 1-to-1 copy of Old School MapleStory without any additional changes. We just rely on the development teams of these games to port the games to the global version of MapleStory Worlds.

But until now, there is no confirmation that the team is working on a global release for MapleStory Worlds. So for now we will use Artale, and it also touches on the nostalgia point.

Another cool thing coming to Artale MapleStory Worlds is mobile cross-platform play. When you are craving for some Orange Mushroom on your way to work, you can also play Artale on your mobile phone. It has not been released yet, but at least it is coming soon!

In short, this Artale server gives players the opportunity to relive the classic nostalgic adventure of Old School MapleStory, and on this basis, it adds new changes to the game, eliminating the annoyances of players in the old school server. Do you think this MapleStory Artale is worth trying? See you next time!

As a powerful A Tier deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket, Charizard and Moltres EX deck are known for its high damage. With the right and efficient strategy, these two EX decks can allow you to use Crimson Storm for 2-3 turns in a row to defeat your opponent as quickly as possible. In this guide, we will talk about how you can build and effectively utilize these EX decks. Let’s get straight to it!

How To Get The Deck?

Let’s start with the deck composition and where to get all the necessary cards. There are a total of 8 actual Pokémon in the game, which are copies of Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, and Moltres EX. The only other cards on this deck that need to be obtained from card packs are a pair of Sabrina Trainer Cards. The rest of the cards are easily obtainable from Item Shop, including duplicates of Potion, X Speed, Poke Ball, Red Card, and Professor’s Research Cards.

One great thing about this deck is that all of the cards obtained from packs are in the same type of pack, Genetic Apex Charizard booster pack.

If you only open packs of this type, there’s a good chance you’ll get almost all of the cards you need for this deck through the initial free packs you get from completing all of the solo battles. If you do need to replace any duplicate pokemon you missed, try to choose basic pokemon with high HP and relatively low retreat costs.

Completing these battles and the various challenges they offer will provide Special Shop Tickets, which you can redeem for Pack Hourglasses to get more free packs.

Note that be sure to save up enough Shop Tickets to get the rest of the cards in this deck, as these cards will greatly help set up win conditions in a match, or otherwise interfere with your opponent’s ability to set up win conditions.

Also, while it’s great to get lucky and have the rarer, fancier versions of the cards in the deck, it’s not necessary as long as you can get the base versions of all of them. Of course, that’s not the case if you’re an avid card collector. It’s worth noting that getting enough Poké Gold through Pokémon TCG Pocket Top Up will allow you to get all of the cards in the shortest possible time.

Winning Strategies

With that out of the way, let’s get into actually using this deck and exploring the different possible win conditions. We’ll start with the best starting hands and strategies.

Build An Opening Advantage

First, it’s OK to go first, but it’s OK to go second. Ideally, you’ll have at least one Moltres and one Charmander. In almost every situation, you want to have Moltres as your active Pokémon, but you can keep Charmander on the bench.

Also, the first game perfectly illustrates how even a good start can be instantly overturned if your opponent gets lucky.

For example, here your opponent plays a Misty card and gets lucky enough to start a heavy attack with Articuno EX’s Blizzard on the first turn. In this case, you have basically no chance of winning.

Going into the next game, it’s not an excellent start. First up is a Moltres, but there are no other basic cards to play. So you want to use Moltres’s Inferno Dance to change this situation, and quickly. Also, Moltres is an unusual Fire Type card because it is weak for Electric types, so in this game, get Moltres out of the game as soon as possible.

After your turn starts, if you don’t have a substitute Pokemon and don’t have a Pokemon in your hand that you can play, prepare a Professor’s Research Card, which allows you to draw two more cards.

Build Charizard EX

Then, you can start building your Charizard EX. First, you want to infuse Moltres with Fire Energy, and then use Inferno Dance. This requires us to flip 3 coins, and for each heads you can put Fire Energy on a Fire Type Pokemon on the bench. This can allow us to quickly exceed the number of active energy tokens in our team, which is a major advantage of this deck type.

If you don’t complete this setup by the second or third turn, the battle will become a fairly hard battle and you will need to use other strategies.

Back to the game at hand. At this point, you want to develop Charmander into Charizard EX and continue to stack Fire Energy on it. You can do this by Moltres Inferno Dance while adding more Fire Energy to Moltres so that it can retreat or use Heat Blast attacks.

Of course, you can also speed up the process by adding one Fire Token you get each turn to Charmander outside of Inferno Dance. In short, your goal is to put all Fire Energy you can into Charmander and evolve it into Charizard EX, which is your win condition.

Stacking Enough Fire Energy

By turn 6, you already have Charizard EX and enough energy to use Crimson Storm. Doing this will consume 2 Fire Energy tokens, so make sure to stack extra Fire Energy as much as possible.

Since you can start using Crimson Storm at 5 Fire Energy, this means you will be able to add another Fire Energy to use Crimson Storm again in the next round.

This can cause problems if you need to defeat three enemy Pokémon to win the game. However, since usually the first Pokémon we defeat is EX, which gives 2 win points, we only need to defeat one Pokémon of any type after that to win the game.

All in all, unless your opponent is very lucky, or you are very unlucky, this deck will perform well in most situations. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this deck, please share them to help us optimize our deck-building strategy and get the ultimate victory. Have a nice day!

Since its birth, Elder Scrolls Online has been attracting many MMO game players with its rich game content and full storyline. If you are one of these players, then you will definitely find that there are vast maps to explore in the game.

MMO games have their own huge worldview settings, and the same is true in the game world of ESO. There are multiple regions in the game, and players can not only earn ESO Gold through adventures in these regions but also experience different customs.

Among all the regions, Tamriel is the background continent of the main story of the game. Some regions in Tamriel related to the main story are more detailed than other regions, and there are many legends surrounding these regions themselves. But this does not mean that other regions in Tamriel are not worthy of attention. In fact, most of them have beautiful scenery that is not inferior to the main regions.

If you are also curious about these regions, then the following introduction to these regions will definitely satisfy you.

1. Summerset Isles

Located in the southwest of Tamriel, this island is composed of eight smaller islands and is also called Alinor. The island is lush with trees and flowers, and the environment is peaceful and beautiful. No wonder it was chosen as the habitat of ESO High Elves.

High Elves are known for their advanced civilization and powerful magical power in the game. They are also a group that believes in elitism. At present, parts of Summerset Isles have appeared in some quests or plots in the game, but the full depth of the area and its relationship with magical concepts such as Aedra remain to be discovered.

In ESO, people believe that Summerset Isles is the origin of Mer race before they came to Aldmeris. And over time, cities such as Firsthold and Alinor have also risen one by one next to the mysterious crystal tower landmark in the area.

2. Hammerfell And High Rock

Hammerfell is a complex and rich area, with everything from vast deserts to jungles and swamps. Iliac Bay, known for its port cities like Rihad, connects Hammerfell to its northern neighbor, High Rock, forming a richer and more complete region.

In the past, Hammerfell was the birthplace of ESO Dwemer civilization, and later Redguards came here after the fall of their home Yokuda. High Rock has always been the richest and most stable part of Tamriel’s extensive development, and it was from here that Bretons began to rise. It is said that they were a mixed settler of humans and elves long ago.

Hammerfell and High Rock are known among players because of the city-state of Daggerfall in Glenumbra region, Wayrest in Stormhaven, and Orsinium of Orcs. There are both rich natural resources and political intrigues because of the existence of various settlements.

3. Valenwood

The southwestern part of Valenwood is mainly a wilderness composed of forests, swamps, and rainforests, and is only inhabited by people in the scattered homes of various tribes. The residents here are forbidden to use plant materials in construction, so the development level is low, but it also presents a strong natural style.

This place is ruled by Camoran Dynasty established in the first era of the game. Its capital, Falinesti, is a huge movable oak tree that moves according to the seasons and can even disappear.

4. Elsweyr

This region is the ancestral home of the barbaric Khajiit race, which can be roughly divided into two parts: arid and lush. In the north, there is Anequina, which consists of desert wastelands inhabited by nomads, and in the south, there is Pelletine, which is prosperous and can grow a variety of crops.

The history of Khajiit people, and their creation myths centered on god-like figures, show that this is an extremely diverse race. And their physical characteristics are determined by the phase of the moon when they are born, which is very interesting.

5. Black Marsh

This southeastern area full of swamps and water is also called Argonia, which is the home of Argonia people. Historically, this place has been a battlefield for various countries to compete for resources and population, and there is brief contact with the imperial army on the main line. This is still a very mysterious area of ​​the game world.

6. Majority Of Mainland Morrowind

While players may have seen parts of the area around the capital city of Mournhold in ESO 3 DLC Morrowind’s Tribunal, exploration of the eastern home of Dunmer has focused on the islands off the coast of this part of the world.

The strange geography here seems to be caused by volcanic activity, such as the crags and fields of Stonefalls, or cities like Blacklight and Firewatch. Considering the puzzles and legends buried here, this mysterious area may still hold its own secrets.

7. Lands Beyond Tamriel

While most of the areas outside of Tamriel are currently mentioned in passing and not discussed in the plot, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist, or at least they once existed.

East of Tamriel is said to be Akavir, where some fierce races such as dragon, Kamal snow demons and Ka Po’ Tun tiger people originated. To the north is the frozen continent of Atmora, from which humans originally migrated to Tamriel because of the apparently uninhabitable cold conditions.

And then there is Pyandonea, far to the south. This perennially foggy land is home to the rare Maormer race, which is said to tame sea serpents but has largely disappeared from the world stage.

As for the deserted island of Yokuda or the mysterious Aldmeris, these lost continents are believed to have disappeared because of geological destruction or magical intervention, leaving only their residents who escaped to Tamriel.

Are you more interested in these regions now? Maybe in the subsequent game updates, the game developers will choose some of them as the background for the new story. Let’s look forward to it together!
