It’s time for yet another Heroes of the Storm build and today we’re going to take a look at the Mountain King himself, Muradin Bronzebeard. Muradin is a pretty iconic Blizzard character that can be found both in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and in World of Warcraft. This little dwarf might not seem very intimidating at first glance, but don’t let his looks deceive you because he can pack quite a punch and is extremely hard to kill. I’ve named the build we’re going to look at today “Hammer Time” and it’s what I’m rolling with these days, so I hope you will find it useful as well. Without further ado, let me present to you a build that lets you to deal a fair amount of damage with Muradin while also allowing to stay in team fights for a long period of time and do your thing unhindered.

64px-Infused_Hammer_IconLevel 1: A lot of heroes are pretty limited when it comes to their options at level 1, but luckily Muradin is not among them. You’ve got no less than three decent options to choose from right off the bat and they each come with some nice benefits. However, for the purposes of the Hammer Time build we’re going to pick Infused Hammer, a talent which offers a great solution to Muradin’s mana problem. Infused Hammer refunds 45 mana whenever you hit an enemy (including minions, bosses etc.) with your Stormbolt. I’ve used Perfect Storm for a long time in the past and it worked really well, however, the mana problem tends to get annoying sooner or later, so I finally decided to go for Infused Hammer in the end and I never looked back.

Since your purpose in Heroes of the Storm is to initiate and stay in team fights for as long as possible, going back to base for mana is something that should be avoided whenever possible. With Infused Hammer you’ll be able to do precisely that and this talent also synergises well with another talent that we’re going to be picking a bit later on. Reverberation is not be overlooked either as it can make a huge difference in team fights, but for the most part I think Infused Hammer or even Perfect Storm are better choices here. Block should be ignored.

64px-Infused_Hammer_IconLevel 4: Blizzard has been very kind with Muradin’s talents because there are several great ones to choose from at level 4 as well. At first glance, Thunderburn might seem like the best pick here since you basically get two Thunderclaps for the price of one. In addition, the second Thunderclap also slows enemies for a couple of seconds, which could give you enough time to escape from a dangerous situation. Having said that, Sledgehammer offers many more benefits and you’ll come to realize this after only one game. Specifically, Sledgehammer is a passive that gives your Stormbolt 400% more damage when you’re using it against minions or structures. Okay, so it’s not much use against enemy heroes, but it’s ridiculously good when you’re clearing mercenary camps or taking down towers and forts.

What’s more, Sledgehammer also works on bosses. In the late game you can hit a boss for more than 1000 damage, which is definitely nothing to sneeze at and you’ll also be able to hit towers, forts and even the enemy core for the same amount. Now, if you don’t plan on helping out with clearing camps or pushing forts Sledgehammer will not be of much use to you, but because Heroes of the Storm is so focused on team play it is advised to be flexible and help out whenever you can. As for the other level 4 talents, they’re also very useful but serve different purposes. Crowd Control is great for pushing lanes or even team fights, Skullcracker is helpful when you’re trying to take down a specific enemy hero and Third Wind improves you trait further by increasing its Health regeneration rate and  Health threshold. All of them are good talents in my opinion, but Sledgehammer is just a bit better, so that’s what we’re picking at level 4.

64px-Infused_Hammer_IconLevel 7: At level 7 our options are starting to diminish, but we didn’t need too many anyway since Piercing Bolt is pretty much a no-brainer here. This talent allows your Stormbolt to hit an addition target so what’s not to love? If you manage to hit two targets with Stormbolt from this point forward, you’ll not only stun them, but you’ll also get back more mana than you’ve used to cast it thanks to Infused Hammer. Also, thanks to Sledgehammer, you’ll now be able to hit two non-hero targets for 400% more damage while also gaining mana in return. It goes without saying that Piercing Bolt is also extremely useful in team fights or when you’re being chased down by multiple enemy heroes. At level 7 Muradin can also go for Landing Momentum, Battle Momentum or Follow Through, but all these talents seem almost laughable (except maybe for Battle Momentum) when compared to Piercing Bolt.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision
