Javelin suits are the key to combat in this dangerous world, and it’s important to understand their strengths and how each one can be modified to best suit your playstyle. The first thing to understand is that you won’t have immediate access to every javelin.

 You’ll unlock your first javelin at level 2 and your remaining javelins in this order:

●       Second unlock at level 8

●       Third unlock at level 16

Mtashed helps you understand Strongholds, what you’ll need to do to prepare to take them on, and what kinds of loot you’ll find waiting for you in this video.

Unlocking Strongholds

In Anthem, Strongholds are four-player adventures that you will unlock throughout the game by completing the story. Once they become available to you, you’ll need to find three other players to tackle each one. If you can’t round up three friends to join you, turn to the easy-to-use Anthem matchmaking option and join a squad.

Successfully completing a Stronghold will provide you with ample rewards, but if you want the absolute best loot, you’re going to need to increase your difficulty level. The harder the Stronghold is, the better the loot it will produce.

Stronghold Difficulty

There are six Stronghold difficulty levels in Anthem:

  • Easy
  • Normal
  • ...

Arekkz gives you an overview of the more advanced aspects of combat in Anthem.

Using Combos

Before you’re ready to take on the more challenging experiences Anthem has to offer, you’ll want to have a very firm understanding of your javelin’s capabilities. While there’s no wrong way to use a javelin, learning how your moves can complement one another can definitely give you the edge in battle. The right combination of moves can lead to devastating combos, capable of quickly, and reliably taking down some of the more challenging enemies that stand in your way.

There are the key elements to understand about performing combos:

  • First, you’ll need a primer (typically elemental moves that inflict some sort of status on the enemy – fire, ice, electric, or acid)
  • Second, comes the detonator (the triggering mechanism for releasing a combo). Note that the ...

Arekkz gives you an overview of traversal in Anthem and the different ways in which you’ll explore this vast and dangerous world.

You may feel like you know your way around the world of Anthem by foot, but you’ll soon realize that you can pass through the same areas at different altitudes and find new items – as well as new beasts. The key to unlocking the world’s numerous layers comes only from the powerful javelins Freelancers use to venture outside the walls of Fort Tarsis.

Each javelin boasts unique movements and abilities, so it requires a specific mastery of javelin traversal not only to navigate the world but to also emerge triumphant during battle.

 

Jumping

Your javelin’s propulsion system takes you beyond just a simple leap. You might be eager to take to the skies, but make sure you don’t miss what’s waiting for you in ...
