Apex Legends’ hectic gameplay and class system aren’t the only significant factors behind the game’s success. Its cosmetics-based monetization system allows players to show off their sense of style and lets developers make a profit without affecting the gameplay experience negatively. During Apex’s launch in 2019, there were only a handful of skins available for each legend. Most of them were practically recolors and didn’t change anything about a legend’s character.

The world of Apex Legends is home to a rapidly changing landscape. Each time a new legend is introduced or a wave of buffs and nerfs arrive, legend pick rates fluctuate based on the meta and who’s in demand at the moment.  In previous seasons, characters like Horizon and Valkyrie have seen astronomical pick rates thanks to strong abilities and usability. While it’s traditional for a new legend to dominate pick rates at the beginning of their season, things get more interesting as their power is tweaked and other legends are adjusted to compensate.

Pokémon UNITE is a free-to-play MOBA in almost every sense of the term. The game offers multiple types, levels, and rewards for doing specific tasks, completing missions, or just participating in various game modes. This is typically done through the “Event” tab or other sub-menus, but for Ranked Mode, the big rewards don’t drop until the end of a season.  Like other MOBA titles, TiMi Studio treats its Ranked Mode as a core gameplay experience.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl kept several elements about the original fourth-generation games the same, but one aspect that has changed is the inclusion of Fairy-types, regardless of how limited they are.  This means Pokémon like Ralts, Mr. Mime, and several others retain their newer typings from generations post-Diamond and Pearl, giving them a leg up on certain Pokémon they might have struggled against. Among those Fairy-types, Ralts is the most sought after, both due to its evolutionary line and because it can evolve into two distinct Pokémon with varying types depending on what you need on your team—Gardevoir or Gallade.

Dragonite is one of the most popular Pokémon in Pokémon Go. The Dragon and Flying-type Pokémon is powerful and can be used both as an attacker or a defender. Given its typing, Dragonite is critically weak to Ice and will take a 256-percent damage increase from Ice attacks. But Dragonite boasts resistances to Grass and Ground-type moves, making these the optimal matchups to use the Pokémon against. In Pokémon Go battles, each Pokémon will have access to two moves: a fast move and a charged move.

Apex Legends rocketed in popularity quickly after its release in 2019 with players on Xbox One, PS4, and PC having one goal in mind: getting that precious battle royale victory. Unlike most battle royale games, Apex asks players to choose a character to go into battle with. It’s similar to games like Overwatch with each character, called legends, having their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. There are a set of free characters that players can choose from, while many more others can be purchased either with easy to earn in-game currency or your hard-earned cash.

Elden Ring is still one of the hottest games on the market. The open-world vision of FromSoftware is sought after by many due to its vast landscape and absurd amount of content. Players can spend tons of hours in the starting area alone only to find out that the map just gets bigger and bigger. Much of this large cookbook of content includes traversing dungeons and challenging, or getting challenged by, area bosses.

Whenever you open an application on an iPhone 13, may it be standard, Mini, Pro, or Pro Max, the application will always remain on until you turn it off manually. Keeping them open in the background could end up costing you a lot of battery power, a hefty drain if you’re not using the applications. Thankfully for users, there is a way to turn off these applications even without the button being around on the latest Apple handsets.

Cliff is one of three Team GO leaders players will battle in Pokémon Go. To beat him, you’ll have to defeat Pokémon like Aerodactyl, Slowking, and Dusknoir. Aerodactyl is a Rock and Flying-type Pokémon, which means it will be weak against Water and Ice-type moves. But it will also suffer greater damage from Rock, Steel, and Electric-type attacks. It will be the first Pokémon you’ll face when battling against Cliff, so make sure you bring Pokémon such as Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche to quickly and effectively faint Aerodactyl.

Jax is one of the oldest champions in League of Legends and has continued to be a strong choice across multiple roles. The melee fighter has the power to dominate close-range dueling with his stun or damage buffs. Given his popularity and longevity in the game, Jax also boasts an impressive line of skins offering a variety of looks for the champion, drawing from a range of different source material as inspiration.
