Players will be able to enjoy the same high render distance, visual smoothing, texture quality, and post-processing effects on either profile. They may, however, notice some dips in quality when looking at vegetation – sparser blades of grass, or blurrier leaves on trees, for example.

The Iron Pellet Soak makes it impossible for you to be interrupted while drinking from the gourd and gives you a huge damage reduction boost while doing so, which can be a useful safety net when healing in certain risky situations.

The Tiger Relic is a soak obtained by draining the blood pool in the Tiger Vanguard’s boss room and heading beneath that area.

A lot of these attacks also leave Guangzhi wide open to a full light combo , which will stagger him and give you some respite.
