As Diablo 4 Season 6 enters the middle of the season, the developers have introduced Patch 2.0.5, which includes a series of class balance, patch fixes and new activities, and the recent developer Campfire Chat is the main reveal of the content of this update.

In this live event, besides some new class changes, the most attention is the new buff activity for returning players, Welcome Back Boost. However, it should be noted that this Welcome Back Boost is a limited-time event and is only for Eternal Realm players. If you seize the opportunity, this event is definitely a great opportunity for you to get a quick boost in the endgame.

In this guide, we will talk about this Welcome Back Boost, including what specific benefits it provides and how you can use it to maximize its effectiveness. Without further ado, let’s get started!

What Is Welcome Back Boost For?

Boost To Level 50

Welcome Back Boost allows players’ Eternal Realm characters to reach level 50. To activate this Boost, you need to first visit Tavern in Kyovashad and interact with Fated Reliquary here with your chosen character.

Select A Build

You can then choose one of the three builds here for your chosen class character and equip the appropriate legendary gear for this build. If you have already reached level 50, you will still receive the legendary gear and build options suitable for your class and complete the relevant skill trees.

Unlock All Altars Of Lilith

What’s more, with Welcome Back Boost, you will unlock all Altars of Lilith, at least for Eternal Realm players.

Currently, there are 160 Altars of Lilith in Diablo 4. Unlocking these altars will not only improve your character Renown at the fastest speed but also optimize your character’s stats to a certain extent. Therefore, unlocking these Altars of Lilith also means that you can completely unleash the maximum potential of your character.

It is worth noting that the benefits brought by unlocking Altars of Lilith are account-wide. That is, after you unlock Altars for one character, other characters can also benefit from it. So, usually you only need to take the time to unlock it once. If you have already unlocked all Altars of Lilith, this Boost may not be of much use to you, but for some new players, this Welcome Back Boost is an excellent opportunity for you to catch up with all other players as soon as possible.

Before the release of Diablo 4 Season 6 mid-season patch, unlocking Altars of Lilith with one character can directly affect all characters in Eternal Realm and the new Seasonal Realm. But because the current Welcome Back Boost is only for characters in Eternal Realm, if you use this Boost event to unlock Altars of Lilith, you may also need to unlock all Altars in Seasonal Realm. Of course, as usual, you only need to unlock it once.

Unlocking Altars of Lilith in this way can save you a lot of time and gold, but Eternal Realm players lack the experience of tracking Altars, which is a big pity for some collectors.

Materials Rewards

In addition, Welcome Back Boost offers a ton of rewards for all returning players, including 1 million Diablo 4 Gold, 1000 Obols, 1 Scroll of Amnesia, and Crafting Materials.

How To Use Welcome Back Boost?

If you only own Diablo 4 base game and don’t own Vessel of Hatred DLC, you can only unlock 1 Welcome Back Boost, and if you pre-order DLC, you can unlock a second Boost.

You can use the buffs you get from Welcome Back Boost on any character in Eternal Realm, but make sure you use them correctly, as they disappear once used.

Please note that if you use the buffs on a character that has already reached level 50 and has received endgame gear, you will not receive the additional buffs. You can use these buffs on characters that you want to use to play Diablo 4 DLC but need to upgrade to level 50, or on old season characters in Eternal Realm that have not yet reached endgame.

If you own DLC but have not yet completed the base game activities, this Welcome Back Boost will be a great convenience for you. You can start your adventure without skipping the game content.

The above is a general introduction to Welcome Back Boost. I hope it's helpful to you. If you are interested, please pay attention to the event time and don’t miss this opportunity to get an enormous boost in the game. I wish you a merry game.

Introduced as a Colossal Weapon in the Elden Ring in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the Anvil Hammer is a weapon that is used to attack enemies. Although its attack is a bit slow, it makes up for it with its huge damage output, strong damage to enemy stances, and decent AoE. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how to use the Anvil Hammer in conjunction with other items to maximize its effectiveness.

Pros And Cons

Pros

• Extremely High Stagger Damage
• Highest combined AR of any weapon (unbuffed)
• AoE Weapon Skill

Cons

• Very heavy (22.0)
• Slow moveset

The power of Anvil Hammer lies in its ability to output huge amounts of damage and has high poise damage, capable of breaking down almost any boss’ defenses in 2-3 regular hits. Whether it is a light swing, heavy attack, charged attack, or weapon skill, the purpose of every swing of the hammer is to achieve a stance break. If the player can use this hammer against some of the tougher enemies in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, such as Curseblades or Fire Knights, they will be stunned.

Best Stat Distribution

When you have collected enough Elden Ring Runes and are ready to upgrade, it is recommended to first increase the core attributes of Anvil Hammer, Strength and Faith, with Strength being more important than Faith. To use this weapon effectively, you also need to invest in Intelligence and Dexterity, although this will not significantly increase the weapon’s damage output.

Besides Strength and Faith, the remaining attribute points are best allocated to Vigor to increase health, or to Endurance to increase stamina and carry weight. Raising Mind to 25 is enough to get a lot of benefit from the weapon skill Smithing Art Spears, as it only costs 18 FP to activate.

After reaching level 150, the major goal is to improve Strength to 80, and Faith and Vigor to 60 each to complete the build. If the weight of the equipment is an issue, adding some Endurance is also a good choice until you find an armor that fits your equipment.

Best Talismans

When Two-handing Anvil Hammer, the effect of Two-Handed Sword Talisman is activated, increasing damage by 15%. The +15% skill buff provided by Shard of Alexander ensures that Ash of War: Smithing Art Spears can almost kill with one hit. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is a game-enhancing trinket that allows players to regenerate stamina at an amazing rate, which is a tremendous help when each swing of the hammer requires a lot of stamina.

Erdtree’s Favor buffs bring an overall boost to HP, Stamina, and Equip Load. Depending on the situation, it can be swapped with Spelldrake, Flamedrake, Boltdrake, Pearldrake +3 Talismans, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talismans, or Golden Braid. There are a few other situational options to consider.

• Crimson Seed Talisman +1 increases the healing of Flasks by 30%. This is especially useful when Vigor is over 60.
• Verdigris Discus can turn a high equipment load into a defensive advantage.
• Great-Jar’s Arsenal can be a temporary measure to solve equipment load problems caused by insufficient Endurance or wearing heavy armor.
• If you plan to use Anvil Hammer in combination with a shield for Guard Counters, Curved Sword Talisman is essential.

Best Seals And Incantations

Given Anvil Hammer’s tendency to buff Faith, it would be a shame if players didn’t take advantage of the powerful incantations they have that meet the stat requirements.

Best Incantations

Golden Vow and Flame, Grant Me Strength, are solid choices for improving damage output and defensive capabilities. Anvil Hammer is one of the few weapons in Elden Ring with inherent Fire damage, making it a superb choice to take advantage of the fire damage boost after the buff.

Other options include Electrocharge, which passively increases the player’s attack damage when holding Anvil Hammer in both hands; Pest-Thread Spears, which provides a ranged attack that is almost impossible to miss; or Fire Serpent, which is an affordable strategy for fighting nimble enemies.

Best Seal

Which seal to choose to use with Anvil Hammer depends on the incantations you need to use it with. If you’re unsure, Clawmark Seal is a good choice, as it’s designed for this kind of Strength/Faith build.

Best Crystal Tears

Flask of Wondrous Physick is mainly used in difficult boss fights to improve the player’s chances of victory. Therefore, the best Crystal Tears to use in combination with Anvil Hammer are:

• Deflecting Hardtear can enhance spontaneous guard in mixed physick for 5 minutes.
• Greenspill Crystal Tear can temporarily boost stamina in mixed physick for 3 minutes.

The focus here is Deflecting Hardtear, a timed block mechanic in Elden Ring that allows the player to deal extra damage by counterattacking if they can prepare their defense before the enemy attacks. The player does not have to use a shield with Anvil Hammer.

Just hold the weapon with both hands and press the guard button to block the incoming attack. When Anvil Hammer is used as a shield, it can negate 80.0 physical damage, which is more than enough for this purpose.

Players can choose any item they like to replace Greenspill Crystal Tear, but the +15% base stamina bonus is very helpful for retaining enough stamina to defend after being attacked.

In summary, according to the above guide, players can maximize the utility of Anvil Hammer to achieve better results in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This comprehensive strategy will help players make full use of the power of Anvil Hammer, overcome challenges in the game, and continue to advance in Elden Ring.

Star-Lined Sword is one of the standout katana swords in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, especially for those looking to build a Tarnished with Dexterity as a core attribute and some bonuses from Intelligence. Combat with this sword made of stellar bodies is not only effective but also visually stunning.

If you’ve recently started using this sword, or you’re still planning how to build your character around it, there are a few key points to note. Star-Lined Sword’s high dex scaling, fast katana attack animations, and its unique Ash of War skill all make it faster by giving it additional buffs when using Ash of War attacks quickly.

Here are some tips to help you build your character around Star-Lined Sword in Elden Ring. For new players who are less confident, you can use Elden Ring Runes to improve your equipment and abilities to ensure your character can use this sword to its full potential.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Onze’s Line of Stars has impressive ranged attack capabilities.
• This weapon is more suitable for one-handed builds.
• Build up blood loss.
• Can deal magical damage.
• Excellent in roll catching.
• Incorporates unique moves of the Katana.

Cons

• In close combat, its attack range may be insufficient.
• Because of the low strength gain, it is not recommended to operate it with two hands.
• When facing many bosses, it may be difficult to fully utilize the full potential of Onze’s Line of Stars.
• In battles with Tarnished enemies, Onze’s Line of Stars is not the best choice.

Star-lined Sword is a special Katana that not only deals magical damage and builds bleed, but also has a powerful Ash of War. The key attribute of this sword is Dexterity, followed by Strength and Intelligence.

Ash of War unique to Star-lined Sword is called Onze’s Line of Stars, and it is unique in the way it is activated. Once triggered, this Ash of War will perform two large-scale attacks in front of the player. Furthermore, this skill can be activated twice more, with each attack dealing increasing damage until the ultimate attack teleports the player into the air for a fierce overhead slash.

While Star-lined Sword is aesthetically pleasing and has powerful attack moves, it does have some flaws. It has a relatively short range for a katana, and doesn’t work well as a two-handed weapon because of its low strength scaling.

Additionally, its unique skill, Onze’s Line of Stars, takes a long time to complete a full combo, so while it’s great against poorly balanced humanoid enemies, it’s less useful against bosses that don’t give you enough time to complete your combo. Often, players will use the first two attacks of Onze’s Line of Stars, and rarely use the ultimate attack when there’s not enough safe damage to deal.

Given that Star-lined Sword is more suited to being a one-handed weapon, that means you can equip another weapon to make up for its shortcomings. So, the next question to consider is, what secondary weapon should you choose?

Best Shields To Use With Star-Lined Sword

When considering pairing with a one-handed weapon, choosing to use a shield is usually not the best choice. For example, shields such as Brass Shield or Wolf Crest Shield can block almost all physical attacks when defending, and have extremely high physical resistance, which can effectively prevent Tarnished from taking damage when blocking.

Given that you already have high Intelligence to use Star-Lined Sword, you may consider temporarily replacing your main-hand weapon with a staff to cast Scholar’s Shield to enhance the shield’s effect, and then switch back to Star-Lined Sword to fight.

Best Staves To Use With Star-Lined Sword

You can choose any staff as a secondary tool, because your character build is still mainly centered on Dexterity-heavy. Therefore, the spells you cast are mainly for ranged attacks and some utility purposes, such as Scholar’s Shield. This makes Carian Regal Scepter and Carian Glintstone Staff your best choices, as they both have good intelligence scaling. If you want to use more blade sorceries like Carian Piercer, then Carian Glintstone Staff would be a good choice.

If your Intelligence is around 40, but below 50, then Carian Sorcery Sword is also worth considering for your build. While you probably won’t use the sword as much, it’s good enough to outperform other staff options in Intelligence.

However, if you want to level your character past level 150, you can invest 70 points each in Dexterity and Intelligence, and a few more points in Mind to help with casting spells. Here, Lusat’s Glintstone Staff and Academy Glintstone Staff will be your best options for dealing damage. These staves will also increase FP cost of spells, so make sure you invest enough points in Mind to easily cast spells and deal damage with Ash of War of Star-Lined Sword.

Best Katanas To Use With Star-Lined Sword

It’s also a good idea to have another katana as an off-hand weapon. That way, you can unleash more powerful combos in melee combat. Based on your stat distribution, with 70 Dexterity and 40 Intelligence, your best off-hand katana choices would be Moonveil and Sword of Night.

Moonveil matches Intelligence and Dexterity very well, and it also has a strong Ash of War that can be used when needed. Moonveil can deal more bleed and magic damage than Sword of Night. This means that if you plan to add buffs through magic, such as using Magic Scorpion Charm talisman to buff Star-lined Sword’s magic damage.

Then Moonveil will be a better off-hand choice because it will give both of your katana a significant damage boost. With Onze’s Line of Stars and Transient Moonlight equipped, you will be able to effectively deal with mid-range combat challenges.

If you need to face enemies with shields or need a better weapon in player-versus-player (PvP) combat, Sword of Night will be a more suitable choice. Sword of Night has useful combo attacks, including Witching Hour Slash into an uncharged heavy attack.

When fighting other Tarnished, you can use Sword of Night with both hands and unleash fierce attacks when your opponent least expects it. And when you want to use Onze’s Line of Stars to control the situation or deal with multiple enemies at once, Star-Lined Sword becomes your ideal choice.

After reading all the above, pick up Star-Lined Sword and bravely face the challenge of Elden Ring!
