Heroes of the Storm: Jim Raynor – quick guide
The rebel, the renegade commander, James Eugene “Jim” Raynor. The major protagonist of Blizzard’s Starcraft Series, was kidnapped from the Starcraft World and brought to the Nexus to become a Hero of the Storm. One of the most beloved characters from the Blizzard universe, changes his opinion about the Zerg race fighting alongside Kerrigan (the love of his life) to bring down Mengsk, the leader of the dominion forces. He might not be the most intelligent man but Raynor is resourceful and persistent and because he is always willing to do the right thing, he can face even the most hostile situations.
Raynor is a ranged Assassin hero with attack damage of 40 and base health of 725 at level 1. Keep in mind that the Assassin is a burst damage hero, so don’t try and make it a support. One of the first things you’ll have to do is to choose the first talents right after you start the game.
Level 1: You’ll have to choose between: Give me more; Seasoned Marksman; Raiders “recruitment” and Scouting Drone. I personally start by choosing Seasoned Marksman just because for every 6 enemies killed you get 1 basic attack damage and if you’ll get into the late game, trust me you’ll need it more than any other skill. When you have a good team you’ll get to level 4 in no time, and you’ll have to choose the next talent.
Level 4: At this level you’ll have to choose between: Focused Attack; Vampiric Assault; Confident aim and Activated Rush. I usually go for Vampiric Assault because at this level you’ll have to start to think about your health, and with every hit on enemy creeps or heroes you’ll get 15% heal of your basic attack and it works hand in hand with the Seasoned Marksman.
Level 7: Hamstring Shot; Revolution Overdrive; Fight or Flight or Mercenary Lord. Here you’ll really have to take Hamstring Shot for that 20% movement speed reduction for 3 seconds, you are after all an Assassin.
Level 10: Once you’ll reach level 10 you’ll get a new skill (ultimate). I go for Raynor’s Raiders just because you’ll get more damage in less time. Meanwhile, Hyperion is an AOE damage skill and it attacks up to 4 Random enemies in its path and it only lasts 12 seconds, also enemies can walk out of its path.
Level 13: Giant Killer; Double-Barreled; Steel Resolve and Puttin’ on a clinic. As an Assassin you’ll need Giant Killer. As long as the hero’s health is at maximum, your damage will be increased with 1.5% of the hero’s maximum health and it’s a good combination with Vampiric Assault because if you give more damage you’ll heal faster.
Level 16: Executioner; Cluster round; Bullseye; Relentless Leader or Berserk. Bullseye definitely! It’s a combination between stunning your enemy for 1 second while making him take 50% more damage. That 1 second stun can help you disrupt your enemies’ over-time skills, and help the team more that you could imagine.
Level 20: The last talents offered in the game are: Scorched Earth; Dusk’s Wings; A Card to Play, Nexus Frenzy and Bolt of the Storm. I usually went for Bolt of the Storm because you can go in and out of a battle whenever you want, but you can also use efficiently Nexus Frenzy for that 20% attack speed and range bonus.
This is the most useful way to play your character as an Assassin, because you’ll have a combination between dealing damage, health regeneration and speed/blink. Don’t forget this is a team game, so don’t expect to win all by yourself, no matter how good your build is. Feel free to tell me your opinions on other builds for Jim Raynor. If you tried and liked my quick guide, stay tuned for the ones I’ll write about other characters (I’m thinking about Tassadar or Malfurion next).
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
