In Warriors: Abyss there are 21 playable heroes to slay hordes of dead as, each with their own unique Traits and Actions. We've put together a Warriors: Abyss tier list to rank all the playable heroes so you know which ones are worth playing. Screenshot by Destructoid Warriors: Abyss Heroes Tier List Each hero in Warriors: Abyss has their own unique weapons, traits, and actions, offering a ton of unique playstyles and variability across the available 21 heroes. While all heroes can complete all content, this tier list ranks all the Warriors: Abyss heroes to help indicate which ones are overall better compared to the rest. Here is our Warriors: Abyss heroes tier list: S Tier All of the heroes in the S Tier of our Warriors: Abyss heroes tier list have powerful weapons able to cleave large swaths of enemies with powerful AoE. They also have useful traits that scale well as you progress further into a round, making them devastating options for progressing. Cao Cao Hanzo Hattori Kunoichi Zhang He A Tier The heroes represented in our A Tier are solid options with a powerful weapon option and traits that can be useful the longer you last. While they may not be as great at AoE as those in the S Tier, they can still quickly dispatch enemies with ease. Goemon Ishikawa Huang Gai Kenshin Uesugi Lu Xun Sun Shangxiang Xiahou Dun Zhenji Zhou Yu B Tier While the heroes in the B Tier are strong, most of them have traits that increase your ability to gain resources or even offer more defensive options, but don't compare to those in the S or A tier that have powerful offensive options that allow you to kill quicker which is the ultimate goal. Dian Wei Guan Yu Mitsuhide Akechi Yukimura Sanada Zhang Fei Zhao Yun Zhurong C Tier Unfortunately the two heroes in our C Tier for Warriors: Abyss are a bit lackluster compared to the other heroes. If you like their weapons, you can certainly still find success with them, but don't expect it to be as quick or easy as most of the others on this list.

There are several decisions that you have to make throughout your playthrough of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 that have different outcomes. When you’re dispatched by Kona to win back a Thunderstone, who you choose to give it to is important, as there are consequences for every outcome. There are three choices for the Thunderstone: You can give it to Kona, make sure Thomlin keeps it, or you can keep it for yourself. Although keeping the Thunderstone for yourself might seem like the worst and greediest option, it’s sometimes the better choice to go with to secure the benefits. The consequences might not seem as bad, but you have to decide for yourself. Is it better to give the Thunderstone to Kona, to Thomlin, or should you keep it for yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? View the full article
One of the OG weapons of Warframe is now here in all of its Primed Glory. The Dual Zoren Prime is a must-get for ancient memes, but also its lethality with the melee meta, so here are the Relics needed.

Blueprint: Lith S16 Uncommon Handle: Axi P8 Common Blade: Neo D9 Rare The best Lith Relic farm The best Lith Relic farm in Warframe is the Exterminate mission, Teshub, or the Capture mission, Hepit. These are low-level missions in The Void that can be completed in mere minutes with a proper speed-running build. Finish the objective and extract. The best Neo Relic farm Neo Relics can be target-farmed in Lua via the Apollo Disruption mission. Play up until Round 4 and only defend one conduit per Round to ensure an A-rotation drop. Each A-rotation drop guarantees a Neo Relic. The best Axi Relic farm Axi Relics can be farmed in Apollo Lua, the same place where you can get Neo Relics at.

Old Man Suumbaat – Cetus, Earth (Rank 3 required) Smokefinger – Fortuna, Venus (Rank 2 required) Otak – Necralisk, Deimos (Rank 2 required) Lastly, you can visit Teshin at the Conclave in any Relay if you have accumulated Steel Essence.
