澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Nightreign's first Network Test is over, and it was hiding a feature that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware fans have been wanting for ages.

I'm talking about a DPS test dummy. A punching bag in the hub that you probably missed because the Elden Ring Nightreign servers crumbled for hours, prompting FromSoft to apologize and co♕nsider "an additional Network 💮Test" in the future to make up for the disruption.

If stumbling servers blocked you from trying out the soulslike co-op spin off, then you can get the full rundown with 澳洲幸运5开奖号🉐码历史查询:GamesRadar's Elden Ring Nightreign preview. I wasn't lucky enough to go hands-on myself, but our resident Elden Ring sicko Austin Wood informed me that the opening hub area - as in, the moody castle where you jump into matchmaking from - houses both straw dummies and one of th🌊ose clockwork-like wood puppets from the main game, letting you test out your moves, builds, and weapons, before properly jumping into the game's gruellin▨g 30-40 minute matches. You can even parry and backstab the poor things.

It's a feature FromSoft players have been asking for since as far back as I can remember, but demands got noticeably louder when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lies of P - the best soulslike made outside of the Dark Souls House - had its own🦂 test dummy. It was a handy little feature to let you gauge your character's damage output or the range of certain moves, so I'm happy to see FromSoft borrowing from some꧟ games in the very subgenre it spawned.

Elden Ring Nightreign is the first FromSoftware game where co-op isn’t jank, and the team synergy already feels amazing.
