澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is almost upon us (check the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring DLC release time here for your region and plat𝓀form). Today should be a time of celebration for ye Tarnished - eager for more lashings, boss-induced self-doubt, and decaying beasts - but a new Elden Ring patch has slightly dulled my buzz with a nerf to two of♊ the game's best boss-cheesing strategies, including my beloved bubbles. 

Prepare for Shadow of the Erdtree

Developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware dropped a patch on the eve of the Elden Ring DLC, and the majority of the changes are welcome bug fixes, new hairstyles, and 𝕴澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a rideable Torrent for the last boss fight. The downside? Both the Cerulean Hidden Tear and the Bubbl🤡e Shower unique skill have been nerfed.

. The severity of the nerf remains unclear at the time of writing, but still, I say again: my beloved bubbles. 

On the other hand, Cerulean Hidden Tear, the Physick item that temporarily eliminates all FP (mana) consumption and unshackles players to endlessl𒁃y cast spells, also received a nerf in the form of decreased effect duration. A sad day for cheesers, for sure. Horror of horrors, your Comet Azur may be s🔜lightly shorter now. 

It's especially distressing news considering Elden Ring's director Hidetaka Miyazaki, in some of his scariest co🍃mments yet, explained that Shadow of the Erdtree has "pushed the envelope in terms of what we think can be withstood by the player." Yet here I stand with weaker bubbles. At least he admits the base game's poi🧸son swamps "wen🍒t a little too far."
