Anthem's song Second, the fully open Demo is nearing this weekend, and since we've had more time to play it before the demo goes live – both in the original VIP and first-time models – we've gathered a good deal of a few useful tips and tricks to get to know and expand on a few more.
This should help you get where you are starting to fly with other people, but if you have information on that Demo itself, or the collection of all the Anthem guides we have up to date, you can check out our page dedicated to the Anthem Early Access guide, start times, preload, and everything else!
As for our tips, here are some quick and easy grinding tips we've received so far:
Many things are more fun – and easier – for squads, but playing alone is a good thing when you get limited
Anthem functionality will naturally increase with the size of your scene – you can take anything from games with any combination of one, two, three, or four players in your team – but that doesn't mean that things are much easier for players.
That's because some of Anthem's moves require you to do a little bit of environmental confusion, and it's very easy to do that while performing with multiple game enemies where most of you are. It helps you split your focus, back it up, do more tasks, and most of all coordinate your Combos, which is incredibly important.
That being said, if you learn how to make a successful Combo (more on that below, and more in our Anthem Comobos, Primers and Detonators guides), then you can do it yourself, it's just a little know-how!
The song is not a winner first
If your primary means of fighting are shooting your guns at Anthem, you may be doing them wrong.
Obviously, there's no proper "way" to play the game – play it anyway you like and shoot your heart content if you want – but we've found that guns in Anthem are more of a backup option for those times when your skills are close, rather than the primary way you deal damage. So put down the rifle, the Soldier 76, and get to deal with your gear and abilities – and most importantly, the Combos …
Combos are the most important thing to know
The guns are cool and all, but depending on Anthem's fight, finding out what Combos is, how it works, and how much it has gained will be the best thing you can do to maximize your injury effect early in the game – and more in the final game.
In breif, Combos involves setting up enemies or & # 39; removing & # 39; one type of attack (Primers), and then creates a highway to damage by hitting them with another (Detonators). Many players can come together to do this, too – so if you only have a primer on your artist and one of your pads has a combo attack attack, you can do a setup and they can do a backlash. Your choice of Javelin also has some unique effects when setting up the Combos, too, so there are some spectacular encounters to have (if you think the word & # 39; synergy & # 39; it might be strange).
The amount of damage you can do to Combos, and the frequency you can encounter, means that they will be very central to your combat experience in Anthem. It's worth investing in some time to build your character and plan with your co-workers to get the most out of them!
Attacks on the fact that the main enemies have a bullseye circle mark – on the side of the road near them, at the bottom right of your HUD; those that fire the exposed enemies have a four-pointed star sign. As mentioned above we have a dedicated guide for Anthem Combos, Primers and Detonators which goes into a lot of detail on this, if you want to schedule your Combo-based build and learn more!
Flying properly, and constantly moving, is important – and it is about temperature
Flying is about more than just getting Anthem – it's also an integral part of the battle and, as directed in the air on how to avoid attacks, duplicates and remain inactive when delivering your own. You will need to master it, which is a matter of getting as much practice as anything, but there are some things to keep in mind that can get you started.
Most importantly, flying is about managing the temperature. Your Javelin (suit) can fly as long as it does not overheat – the longer you fly, the more you fire, as shown by the slow-fill bar of your Javelin as you fly around.
You can cool it in a few ways: flying near water or liquids, which provides a cool & # 39; buff & # 39; a few seconds where you do not burn; and fast installation, which reduces the temperature of your Javelin as soon as you die.
As you get better by flying around, you'll be able to climb back into your momentary flight in the air, keeping yourself cool for a long time. There are also various types of gears that use cooling buffs when you're armed, too. One more thing to note: an enemy attack that burns you in the fire will quickly kill you, chasing you into the air. Learn the types of your enemies to avoid almost completely getting into a fight!
Weight adjustment is just as important as your gear and Pilot gear
Here's the paradox: unlike most service style shooters like Anthem, the damage you do on a scale depends on your gear, weapons, level, and difficulty setup, which is a more active part of your progress than usual. It's not about how much challenge you want but about how much you want to get rewarded: the higher the difficulty you choose – the more you pick each time you start the Expedition (the mission) – the higher the quality and the more robbery you'll get as you complete.
In addition, damage was obtained from each player. So let's say level 10 and you meet level 20 pal, you both will do the same damage to enemies depending on how much their health bar goes down, but you'll see different numbers on your screen. You could deal 500 damage and take part of the enemy's health line, and they could do up to 1,000 damage to their screen, but also remove half of their health barriers. Basically, high-quality pants can't carry you on a trip. What makes the journey feel easy or difficult is the difficulty you choose in advance.
Javelins fly at the same speed, but at different rates of movement
Throwing your class, or Javelin, is all about your playstyle choices, but which will not be affected by whatever the high speed of your Javelin. You will always fly at the same high speed, but things like speed, and your ability to maneuver or perform tasks on air or ground-based, depending on your choice of Javelin.
There is no need to worry about being left behind – so if you end up getting too close to your team to ignore them, you'll find yourself moving forward in their place when enough time has passed.

Finally, for measurement and grading, here is an Anthem Pilot Level, XP and how to quickly set up, Anthem loot, gear and loot system explained and finally got a deep dive into Anthem Masterwork and Legendary gear, a list of -Masterwork and how to farm.
Harvest those crops, farmers
Crafting at Anthem is made up of a handful of resources, and all of this can be obtained from the hands of a game of plant and equipment.
When you interact with everyone you see (pretty obvious – the big bulb plants that stick a little to the world), you will usually download all the basic, but the most important follow-up resources will be Embers.
This comes with a lot of spare tires, and allows you to make high quality boats once you've got their Blueprints. It may be premature to really worry about this, progress if it continues from Demo to full game, but if you want to explore the art program, harvesting all the plants you see is the way to do it.
The elements can make a big difference, but only if you find them right
You might think something as bizarre as the Compact screen, pictured below, isn't important – but it really is.
The biggest example we have seen this is with the Colossus section, but it seems to be the case for all of them: use specific class elements, not Universal that can be used in all classes.
You randomly strip them like spoilers throughout the game, but for some titles (they'll be ignored in Forge, where you do your Loadout load), you give more important bonuses to your stats than one size-fits-all version.
Take that example of Colossus: one reddit user (a_tortoise_IRL), and find that Colossus-specific Structural Reinforcing, a Common tier with rank 15, added 791 life and 659 weapons. Universal, a standard Universal adds life and 282 weapons, by comparison. What a difference! Take the time to shoot with these things, then.
You can join on a stop where you stop for a while
We did not assess the amount of time that would pass, but to our knowledge in Anthem testing, you can all be fired from the mission for at least a minute or two, and then rejoin that mission where you left off.
You can also hang out with your friends at any time, as long as they have free space on their team of four players, which is good news for that annoying striker over the dodgy internet connection – and for the demo players, because it's going to be a strange bump on the road connection.
In fact, at that point, we were able to work around the & # 39; bules uploading screen & # 39; VIP demo interruption by shutting down the system completely (this was PS4, mind) and then rebooting it. It can skip any discrimination at the beginning of the mission, annoyingly, but at least you'll download into the mission itself and play it – without the slightest context! Hopefully in this case it won't be necessary. I hope.
