How we work

From first playthrough to published guide

Every article on the Citadel goes through the same four-step process so you can trust what you read.

01

Play it fully

We finish the campaign, hit the endgame, and log every build before a single word is written.

02

Test the strategies

Every route and loadout is re-run at least twice so the steps actually work on your screen too.

03

Write it plainly

No padding, no SEO word-salad — just the fastest clear path with screenshots and timestamps.

04

Update with patches

When a balance patch drops, we revisit the guide within the week and stamp the new version.

What readers say

The no-summon Malenia route finally got me the kill after three weeks. Clear timestamps, no fluff — exactly what I needed.
