Thanks to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Productions and their ongoing efforts of to get your MOBA skills up to snuff, the fourth video in their MOBA Mastery guide is available for your dissection. The video series, aimed at exploring the genre in broad strokes and progressively finer detail in preparation for the December 5 launch of Guardians of Middle-earth, continues to peel away another layer of strategy this week. Like an unending, informative, Tolkienian onion.

This week’s MOBA Mastery video is all about loadouts, and it’s a dense one. Guardians of Middle-earth boasts an impressive level of character customization, allowing you to completely change a guardian’s style of play by tweaking their skills, spells, and battlefield equipment. If you’ve missed the previous entries in the series, you can find week one, week two, and week three, by hitting the links.
