Read moreMtashed showcases the devastating Storm javelin and how best to unleash its elemental powers in this video.
Whether you’re looking to freeze, electrocute, or set your opponents on fire in Anthem™, the Storm javelin will get the job done. It easily dominates the vertical space on the map and is an excellent choice for team play, especially given the ease of chaining combos with your teammates.
The Storm can remain in the air during combat, giving pilots the ability to easily see multiple enemies, where they’re spawning at, as well as raining down powerful elemental attacks from above. All javelins’ jets will eventually overheat, but the Storm’s do so at a much slower rate giving it far more air time while hovering.
Of course, eventually, you’ll have come down to the ground. Fortunately, the Storm has an amazing dodge to get out of harm’s way, and its Frost Shards can freez...
Read moreIn this video, MoonLiteWolf jumps into the Ranger javelin and shows you how to get the most out of this versatile suit in Anthem™.
If you’re looking for a solid javelin that won’t require you to focus on a specific ability to excel, the Ranger is a great choice. It’s the perfect jack of all trades soldier for anyone who’s all about firepower and marksmanship.
When it comes to team play, the Ranger can be customized to lead the way into battle or provide defensive protection from the rear. Complete your ...
Read moreIn this video, Arekkz speeds into battle with the Interceptor javelin and shows you how you can get the most out of this agile suit in Anthem™.
Small, sleek, and agile, the Interceptor has been the favorite choice for Corvus’ long-range scouts, infiltrators, and assassins due to its ability to strike with surgical precision. While it may not look overly intimidating, this javelin is unmatched when it comes to evasion. If you like to get into and out of battle before your enemies even know what hit them, this is the javelin for you.
One of the Interceptor’s main weapons is a pair of double-bladed daggers. They can be used to create a multi-hit chain of powerful attacks that can be continued almost indefinitely. They’re perfect for melee combat against weaker enemies, to take down the shields of stronger opponents, or to combo with your teammates.
The Interceptor can also c...
Read moreThe best way to play Anthem is with a team, adventuring out into the world with friends and fellow Freelancers by your side. The Anthem Alliance System makes grouping up even better by giving you – and everyone you play with – an extra batch of in-game Coins for being a team player.
Below is everything you need to know to start earning a Coin bonus for yourself and your favorite friends.
The Alliance System Rewards You for Gaining XP
When you complete an expedition (like a mission, contract, or Stronghold) you earn XP that is recorded in the Alliance System. As you continue to accrue XP, you’ll pass through 10 different Alliance XP tiers. At the end of every week, you have the potential to be rewarded with Coin based on how much XP has been added to your Alliance System pool. Coins can be used to get cosmetics, emotes, and rare resources.
You aren’t on your own in feeding the beast though, because . . .
XP Earned by Others Goes into...

Read moreGet an overview of Anthem combat basics in this video by MoonLiteWolf.
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.
Unlocking Javelins
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
● Fourth unlock at level 26
Choosing the Right Javelin for Your Fighting Style
Next, let’s get to know each of the four available javelins:

Read moreMtashed 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:
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.

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 ...

Blomkamp’s live-action trailer, Conviction, is a piece inspired by the Anthem E3 2017 trailer. Blomkamp’s version, now available on the Oats Studios YouTube channel, is set before ...
