The game is still loading, Shen Huai is typing on the public screen and asking.

- What are your questions

[Have! ! Please recommend the S5 season assassin to add points!]

[Great God Cangyu, I just want to ask, can this version still be played without the Assassin of Death, and how do I play it?]

[I don't expect to use assassins to become kings anymore... I can use heroes as long as I can... Ask Cang Yu for guidance! !]

A series of questions on the screen are almost all related to the assassin profession, because Shen Huai's best profession is the assassin.

From the one-shot assassin in the S2 season, the unlimited body in the S3 season, to the double repair of the poisoning method in the S4 season. It can be said that every season Shen Huai can create a new way of playing the assassin and develop it into a high-scoring black technology.

But not everyone can do this, otherwise as long as you watch the live broadcast, everyone will be a god.

With its gorgeous skill combo, stealth mechanism, and no blue-bar consumption, the Assassin class immediately became a top hit as soon as the S2 season was launched. Especially the Arena 1V1 can be said to be invincible, and there has even been a miracle that more than half of the top 100 players in the single-player arena are assassins.

So the game official began to modify and adjust the Assassin profession again and again. In the middle of the S3 season, the Assassin's dueling ability in the arena has dropped rapidly, and the overall server win rate has dropped to 47%!

When the new professional qigong master comes on stage in the S4 season, the qigong master who has the defense of a melee swordsman, high long-range skill damage, and control and knockdown dominate the single-player arena, and the assassin who is already in an awkward position in the 6V6 team battle is even more 1V1 The arena could not be held, and almost completely disappeared in the arena.

Today, there are very few Assassin players, including professional teams, and it is difficult to see scenes of Assassins flying with double-edged swords in official arenas and high-end games. In such a big environment, Cang Yu's assassin has become the last light of hope for assassin players!

Shen Huai typed a series of affirmative replies on the public screen.

-Assassins can still fight, of course, but the lower limit is raised.

Raising the lower limit means increasing the difficulty of skill operation. If you want to hit the same high damage as before, you need more superb skills.

But... Nani?

The lower limit of the assassin is already the highest in the entire profession, right? Take a look at the version of a domineering qigong master. You can get on the hero in minutes with your eyes closed and your face turned on the keyboard. I'm waiting for an assassin who is hovering in the warrior segment to show off his operations

Can you dig a little more

The game has loaded the character selection interface. There are several characters of different professions standing on the screen. In the middle, an assassin dressed in black tights and half a silver mask is standing on the rock, with two sharp short blades in his hands. With a cold light.

Shen Huai clicked the mouse on the assassin, chose to enter the game, and clicked the arena at the same time.

"City of Despair" has 7 stages of arena from low to high: Ranger, Righteous, Warrior, Brave, King, and Divine Power. At the same time, each stage is divided into three levels: high, medium and low. The arena points are different.

The arena has three modes: single player 1V1, double 2V2 and group 6V6. Shen Huai chose the arena 1V1 without hesitation.

[I'm going... The new season has only started less than a month ago, and the great gods are already in the Divine Power rank? ?]

Seeing someone ask a question in the live broadcast room, Shen Huai typed on the public screen of the game.

-Well, I don't have time, so I'm looking for a power leveler.

[… …]

[Great God, you will be reported if you are so honest...]

[The anchor who dares to admit openly and aboveboard that he is looking for a power-trainer is probably the only one on the entire network, um, very 6, this is very dark.]

[How could someone give Cang Yu a contemporary practice? ? I just wanted to know if his hands shook when he took the order!]

[Ask for a recommended studio! ! I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the male god Cang Yu! !]

Thinking of his power trainer, a smile appeared on Shen Huai's lips.

- You can't come.

The fans immediately exploded again.

[Fuck! Am I being mocked by Yushen?]

[Feather God, are you not afraid that we will report you because of your hatred?]

[What a broken anchor, we are not fans anymore! Report a report!]

The PVE and PVP gameplay of "City of Despair" are both very well done. Among them, the weapons and equipment of the PVE gameplay need to be built or purchased by the players themselves. The PVP arena is chosen independently from the unified equipment library after admission, which is also to ensure the fairness of the arena.

Shen Huai still chooses double-edged weapons in the assassin's profession. The advantage of double-edged is that the attack and crit damage is high, but the disadvantage is that he cannot wear a shield, which will reduce the character's defense and blood. But Shen Huai gave up the one-handed short blade without hesitation, and chose one of the double blades that increased attack speed. Other equipment also chose a combination of attack speed and movement speed.

After selecting the equipment, start adding points to the character's professional skills and general talents. There are eight occupations in the game. Except for the new occupation of Qigong Master, each occupation has four different branches of skills. Due to the limited skill points, basically you can only choose to major in one skill branch and minor in another branch at the same time. , the talent page is the same.

The game official of "City of Despair" will adjust each profession every year based on the feedback of the players on the big data platform and the performance of the players in the professional league to achieve the balance of the game. The means of adjustment are basically through direct adjustment of professional skills and indirect modification. talent to achieve.

In the S4 season, due to the existence of the talent "Desperate Strike", the snipers who rely on ultra-long-range sniping to harvest shine. Therefore, at the beginning of the S5 season, "Desperate Strike" was canceled in the new talent released by the official. It was originally an adjustment for snipers, but it made the assassin who also relied on "Desperate Strike" to increase damage to survive and was tragically stabbed. .

When the season was updated last month, Shen Huai also fell into contemplation when he saw the announcement.

The talent effect of Critical Strike is to cause higher damage to enemies whose health is lower than 50%. This is a life-saver for the assassin whose skill damage has been weakened several times. Now that the critical strike has been cancelled, the damage of the assassin is indeed very difficult to deal with.

But looking at the latest talent system, he pondered and finally came up with a feasible plan, and today is his first battle to practice this theory.

Shen Huai skillfully completed the skill points and talent points, and the fans in the live broadcast room were surprised to find that Cang Yu's branch of adding points this time was completely different from the past!

In the first two seasons, no matter how changeable the points were, the bleeding state of poison attacks that relied on poisoning was always the mainstream gameplay of assassins. But this time Shen Huai completely gave up on this branch, instead he pointed out a skill that appeared briefly in the S2 season - Bloody Double Blades!

This is a passive skill of the assassin. After you tap the bloody double-blade, the skill and normal attack will consume additional blood and blood (it will no longer be consumed if it is lower than 10%), causing higher damage and the lower the blood value. , the higher the damage.

This skill description sounds powerful, but in reality, for an assassin who lacks control skills and is extremely fragile, it is tantamount to chronic suicide. In addition, after the S2 season, the damage of assassins has been reduced, and it is no longer possible to rely on a set of burst damage to kill people. This skill is even more tasteless, and basically no one uses it.

Cang Yu created the dual-cultivation gameplay of relying on poisonous attacks to deal blood damage. Does he want to take the initiative to abandon the genre he created this time

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but get excited, because they had reason to believe that the name "Cang Yu" would never let them down!

The game entered the matching interface, and Shen Huai was quickly matched with a player of the same rank, and his profession happened to be the duel king who blew the forum in the past two versions - Qigong Master.

[GG! When I came up, I encountered the ring handle.]

[God Cang Yu tortured him! I haven't dared to play in the single-player arena recently, it's really qigong running everywhere!]

[Qigong master version one brother, even God Cangyu is not easy to fight... Not to mention God Cangyu's new talent skills, this game is still mainly practice...]

The qigong master on the opposite side was also surprised. He had been playing in the arena for a day and had yet to encounter an assassin.

[Everyone] [The qigong master's score is stable]:? ? ? assassin? ? ? I met a national treasure? ? This is the Divine Division, right

Shen Huai ignored him, dipped his slender fingers above the keyboard, and carefully reviewed the skills he just adjusted.

[Everyone] [The qigong master's score is stable]: Damn, are you really an assassin? The Assassin of the Divine Might? I was so scared that I thought I was driving a trumpet! There are still people playing assassins...

[Everyone] [The qigong master's score is stable]: Why don't you speak? Not an actor, right? Lost points?

Netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't watch it first.

[This person is so annoying... What happened to the assassin? Who said that assassins can't use the power of the gods! Cang Yu's Assassin is the first in the whole server, okay?]

[He actually doesn't know Cangyu's ID... He is a rare national treasure...]

[Sit and wait for God Cangyu's strength to slap his face!]

The qigong master on the opposite side talked a lot, and out of courtesy, Shen Huai also opened the dialog.

[Everyone] [Cang Yu]:. . .

While pressing the Enter key, Shen Huai jumped onto the ring lightly.

The map of 1V1 is a fixed arena, with a pillar standing in each of the four corners, steps in each direction, and clear lake water under the steps. In other words, this is a water arena.

The qigong master was already standing on the ring, because the assassin could be invisible, he moved very carefully, the characters moved forward in circles, and occasionally fired qigong cannons in front of him.

He was making a careful test from here when he saw an assassin jumping onto the ring openly.

Qigong masters:…

For wasting me so much blue, you don't even turn on stealth.

Shen Huai rushed in front of the qigong master with a "stab" skill. After all, the qigong master was also a master of the divine power segment. It was almost impossible to make a combo with a frontal attack.

The combination of these two skills can not only knock flying, but the enemy who is knocked flying will stay in the air for 1.5 seconds, and the qigong master is taking this opportunity to frantically launch qigong cannons in the distance.

Qigong Cannon is the main damage skill of qigong masters. This skill has a CD of only 0.5 seconds and has a very low mana cost. Basically, as long as you use the skill combination to knock the enemy into the air, you can use the brainless qigong gun for the rest of the time. This is why the qigong master is easy to operate and the damage is high.

This set of qigong cannons directly knocked out 30% of the blood of Shen Huai's assassins!

Shen Huai immediately turned on the skill "Hidden" to enter a stealth state, went around behind the qigong master, and stunned the qigong master in one move "soul capture", and then played a set of Dalian moves "Mark of Death-Assassination-Blood Blade-Stab Heart-Darkness" sharp sword".

The professional feature of the assassin is combo. After selecting different marks, the special effect of the combo triggered is different, and the special effect of the combo under the mark of death is that the fourth attack in the next second will be a critical strike, causing 200% of the actual damage. harm!

In the S2 season, this set of damage can at least knock out 30% of the enemy's HP, but now the assassin's damage is reduced, and Shen Huai's talent has no attack power, and the opposite qigong master actually only lost 15%. The blood, but he lost 5% of his blood because of the bleeding effect of the bloody double-blade.

The qigong master who released the control used another move to capture the thunderbolt palm and threw Shen Huai into the air, and threw 3 qigong cannons in a row to directly throw out the big move thunderbolt!

Several blue qigong cannons shot from a distance and punched the assassin. Shen Huai didn't even hide, he just ate the whole big move of the qigong master!

This time, his qi and blood are only 7% left, while the qigong master's qi and blood are still 85%, and the gap between the sky and the sky is almost certain!

Netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked.

[Fuck! Am I going to witness Cang Yu being tortured and killed by passers-by with divine power-level qigong? ?]

Shen Huai in front of the computer looked at his flashing red screen and finally showed a serious look.
