The mechanism of the mountain is not difficult. After so many clearances, the fruit platter team has mastered the first two mechanisms. When the boss roars, they will evade by moving, and when the earth shatter group loses blood, the healer will immediately restore blood, but the problem lies in the skill [Sacrifice Me].
[Shewo] has both a roll-call mechanism and an explosion mechanism.
In the previous play, once they were targeted, they would let the targeted person find a place to die by himself/herself so as not to harm his/her teammates. Since they brought three doctors, they could basically revive a teammate in one minute. But this time they did not bring many doctors, only one 3-minute battle recovery skill and two 10-minute resurrection skills, which greatly increased the difficulty.
"It's almost roll call, how are we going to play?" Strawberry Yogurt asked.
Su Mo's voice remained unchanged: "Team 2 and 3, the formation masters are ready. Once called, start charging and immediately open the shield. The healer's damage reduction buff is stacked, and the spell swords start the big sword formation. Except for the healer and the warrior, everyone else in team 1 should move to protect themselves and avoid damage."
The team's doctor asked, "Do the dead want to fight again?"
"Hand it over." Su Mo said simply, "Give it to the doctor first, and the healer will keep it."
Xigua hid behind the sword formation and dealt damage. He caught a glimpse of two teams being protected in an orderly manner in the distance. At this moment, the boss Dashan began to call on specific teams and accumulate power.
The name will not be revealed until the last 3 seconds, but the charging can be judged by the boss's actions. Xigua immediately activated his protection skills when the boss was charging. At this time, he noticed that the physical sword Qingfeng Xulai standing in front of him opened a large sword formation, directly covering all the people in the nearest team 1.
The attack fell.
Xigua tried his best to dodge two single attacks, and the time to charge was fleeting. At this moment, the "sacrifice me" sign appeared above his head. The bomb fell on him, and he had to use the sprint function immediately to get out of the crowd.
3, 2, 1…
At this time, his vision did not change, death did not come upon him, and his health was still at 1%.
"Assassin is on drugs, return to your original position."
The commander's calm voice reminded him.
Everyone else in the group was stunned. Shouldn't the watermelon die and explode at this time
Why didn't he die
Apple was stunned: "Why didn't you die?"
"Sacrifice Me is not a fatal skill. It mainly depends on the cooperation of teammates." Su Mo directed the others to attack and explained simply: "Death in the Sacrifice Me state will cause an explosion, but if you don't die in this state, there will be no original explosion effect."
This is a very special mechanism. Su Mo noticed these points after watching a dozen strategy videos collected by Qingfeng from the Internet.
In the strategy video he had watched before, a person in a team was targeted and did not die in the 'sacrifice myself' state. At that time, the person was not activating any life-saving props or skills. The team leader in the strategy video thought it was a bug and did not pay much attention to it.
Su Mo noticed this. Other games might have bugs, but the probability of Tianhuan having bugs is very low. Some of its game mechanisms might be regular and rigid, but the official announcement of bugs has not appeared since the server was launched. In other words, the fact that the player did not die was not a coincidence, but some special hidden mechanism.
He watched the video several times and noticed the problem.
First, the HP of the person being named was very high. Second, the team's positioning and damage avoidance were relatively good in the early stage of the naming without death. After that, he tested these two conditions with Hong Guoguo, Xingzhi Wujiu, and Qingfeng Xu. He tried to pass the level with 4 people. When the naming was encountered, a special situation occurred. The skill [Shewo] is not a sure kill. If the accumulated damage to other teammates during the charging period of naming is not enough to kill the named teammate, then there will be no subsequent bomb effect of multiplying the damage by a hundred times.
Dashan's [Shewo] means that the damage that should have been inflicted on the entire group falls on the person being targeted, that is, the damage is counted from the time of charging and targeting, and the person being targeted bears all the damage and dies. If you don't want to die, you need to avoid unnecessary health loss during the charging and targeting phase, except for the main tank, and the other teammates should avoid unnecessary health loss and fully open the defensive posture. As long as the accumulated damage does not exceed the health of the person being targeted, then death will not be caused.
Then the key skills lie in the double defense formation of the formation master, the banana tree of the healer, and the large sword formation of the physical sword and magic sword of the Lishan Sword School.
This is a skill combination that Su Mo has tested and is completely harmless within the range. Double defense can avoid 50% of the damage, the banana tree has an 80% damage reduction effect, and the big sword formation is a sword and shield that can absorb 30% of the damage. With this combination, it can ensure complete harmlessness while protecting 5 people.
The physical sword's big sword formation can help reduce damage, the assassin has a life-saving skill... Even the summoner learned to summon the [Xuanwu] summoned beast after reaching level 70. Xuanwu can absorb damage on behalf of the master until it dies after the damage is full. After death, the CD time is 3 minutes. If it does not die, it can be summoned again in 30 seconds.
In other words, their lineup can avoid most of the damage as long as the members are willing to cooperate and Team 1's response is flexible enough.
Knowing that the targeted person was not dead, the other players in the group suddenly became excited. It turned out that this mechanism could prevent death
Suddenly, everyone started discussing—
"Damn, you can still fight like this?"
"No wonder we need a formation master and a healer... and each team needs a magic sword."
"This kind of evasion can only be achieved by an all-magic lineup, right? Melee professions don't have that much group protection."
Xigua suddenly understood why this special team was used. Team 2 and Team 3 had the same lineup. It turned out to be for the boss's hidden mechanism, to ensure the safest damage. The assassin was the lowest HP class in the group. If he could survive, it meant that this lineup was completely feasible, and it had to be an all-magic lineup... But the key was that they avoided the skills, could the subsequent output keep up? They were 10 minutes away from [Temple of the Gods].
"We learned this through testing after dying several times." Hong Guoguo replied proudly, "And it can only protect 4-5 people. It's not safe if there are more than 5." God knows that his eldest brother and brother Xing spent 2 hours on the first boss to test this mechanism before they found a completely stable method. This lineup is also very changeable. The main core is the formation master + healer + swordsman. Even if it is not an all-magic lineup, the wizard and Taoist priest can also replace them. It is very flexible.
At this moment, the commander's voice sounded again in the team voice.
"Team 3 wizards, your attack rhythm is too slow, and your damage per second has dropped by 250."
This voice interrupted the discussion in the voice channel, and several players burst into laughter.
The wizard who was named responded with a shameful sound, and immediately said: "My hands are sore just now! I will catch up right away."
However, the conductor's voice of calling the roll had not stopped yet, and he was very picky in finding loopholes.
Except for Team 1 which was flexible in movement, the other two teams were almost huddled together, so it was obvious who made the mistake.
The skills of the two teams' formation masters and healers were impeccable, but the three main output turrets, the Taoist priest, the wizard, and the spell sword, became the focus of the commander. No matter their positioning or skills, any mistakes would be extremely obvious, especially when compared with the surroundings, and would be immediately picked out by the commander.
"3 teams of Taoist priests, their positions are messed up."
"Save burst skills for buffs."
At this time, he did not name any IDs, but he remembered everyone in the group clearly.
After a few words of calling the shots, the noisy discussions in the team suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Xigua immediately used his management aura to rectify the atmosphere in the group and said, "You are using the buffs of the formation master and the healer to deal this damage. Are you here to rush to the top or to chat? How about you come to team 1? Be serious, okay?"
"Pull out your battle statistics. Your equipment is not bad, so the DPS shouldn't be so low." Su Mo controlled the summoned beast to deal damage. The field of view showed the damage statistics list, hatred statistics list and other combat auxiliary plug-ins. "We can finish the battle in 20 minutes. Everyone, don't waste your teammates' time."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said simply, "There is also the assassin. The damage per second is 50 lower than that of the physical sword. Pay attention."
Without saying anything else, his one sentence revealed an inexplicable care and concern - 'You shouldn't be beaten like this.'
Watermelon was horrified and immediately responded, "I'll call you right up."
Other team members: “…”
Damn! That's scary!
Next, everyone in the group put in all their efforts to attack.
In addition to calling out the boss's skills, the commander spoke again to find loopholes. The commander's voice was too calm, his words were clear and his purpose was clear. Even though his voice was not loud, he had an inexplicable aura when he spoke, and his words were like a sharp sword.
There was no swearing, no ID calls, it was just like a young dean standing behind them, reminding them in a very calm tone once they made a mistake... It sounded ordinary, but it was like the devil's whisper.
After 10 minutes, everyone was alert and didn't dare to make any more mistakes. Their DPS even exceeded the passing line. They defeated the boss Dashan, who had particularly thick blood, in 3 minutes less than the other elite teams in this environment.
As soon as the boss fell, everyone dared not slack off and rushed to the next boss's location against the clock.
The next boss is a little distance away from the mountain, and there are a bunch of civilian monsters controlled by demons in between. To deal with these monsters, you can only reduce their health to below 50%, and they will lose their ability to move, but you cannot kill the civilians, otherwise the entire copy will fail.
But the people below 50% lacked the blessing of demonic power and were as fragile as cardboard, and were basically killed in a few seconds.
So this seemingly simple monster is actually very difficult. If you want to pass this path, you must fight them, but you can't fight them too hard, or you will be defeated. This is also one of the difficulties of the guild dungeon. Many teams rushed here recklessly and failed to cooperate carefully, resulting in failure to pass the level.
"Should we pull the monsters together and use our skills to defeat them?" Apple asked.
Su Mo heard this and said, "We don't fight small monsters."
He set the summoned beast of 'Xuanwu' to follow the assassin Xigua, and asked the healer and the formation master to give it to the assassin, "Assassin, pull the monster to the left, and everyone else follow me to the right."
Xigua was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react to the command, "Me? Assassin? Pull monsters?"
He is the most fragile in the group, okay? Let him pull this wave of monsters? ? ?
"What else?" Su Mo simply said, "I'm in the assassin group, and I asked you to pull the monsters. Didn't Apple tell you?"
Watermelon looked at Apple.
Apple said: "I forgot, but it's nothing serious, just pulling a monster."
Xigua looked at the conductor sincerely: "I will die."
"You move fast, so after pulling the monster away, turn invisible and get rid of it, then come back to join us." Su Mo simply instructed the next arrangements, "If you are sure you are going to die, die far away, outside the attack range of those monsters, and don't add pressure on the doctor to save people. Do you understand?"
Hong Guoguo followed her eldest brother decisively, "Want to go? Time is money."
Qingfeng added: "Comrade Xigua, the whole group is waiting for you."
Apple: "Come on, we are counting on you."
Strawberry Yogurt looked at his teammates sympathetically.
The other members quickly followed behind, fearing that they would be called upon to be the next person to pull the monster. The group watched Xigua's feat of pulling the monster, and as soon as he took action, the others ran in the other direction without even looking back.
During this period, Su Mo gave a brief explanation in the team channel.
"The common people are humanoid monsters, and their behavior is very rigid after being controlled by the demonic power. They only have two mechanical skills, and they are not as difficult to deal with as the monsters in other dungeons." Su Mo explained: "Did you notice the status description under their health bars?"
Everyone looks at the status—
'Controlled by demonic power, it will actively attack enemies that approach it'
Su Mo: "A humanoid monster means it's vulnerable to control and status. Plus, its behavior is rigid and easy to control. As long as we don't get close to it, we won't be entangled. Besides, there's no rule that we have to fight these monsters, so let's not waste time."
All the team members understood, and Ke Xin felt even more sad.
“Is the watermelon still alive?”
"Two minutes have passed."
“…Should he be alive?”
"The commander told him to die far away. Maybe he died far away???"
At this time, Xigua, who was pulling the monster, ran back with great difficulty, with only 2% of his health left, standing in front of everyone in a panic. The doctor quickly gave him some blood, and there was no time to repair him. The commanding voice sounded again in the team voice.
"Warriors, prepare to attack the monsters." The commander said, "Others, don't lose any output, understand?"
The others immediately perked up: “Okay!!”
It was eight o'clock in the morning, and people from the [Fruit Platter] guild started to come online one after another.
The leader of the fruit platter gang came online early today, which was a rare occasion. As soon as he came online, he couldn't wait to ask about the situation of others. As a result, the leaders of the two elite groups were there, but did not reply to his message. He could only run to ask other managers, only to find out that there was a group rushing to the top of the list in the morning. He briefly learned about the name list of the group and knew that the people on it were foreign players invited by Apple.
The gang leader asked, "Everyone is working so hard, it's really hard. How is the progress?"
The manager was in a very complicated mood: "Boss, have you read the group message?"
"What's wrong? Did something big happen in the group?" The gang leader had to go back to check the messages, and he saw a series of messages in the group messages. When he clicked to the beginning, he first saw the embarrassed figure of his beloved general [What a Big Watermelon] pulling a group of monsters. His health was in danger, but his back was determined, going against everyone else, as if he was resolutely running towards the distance.
Swipe down, and Apple posted a candlestick emoji behind the screenshot. Within a short period of time, dozens of people followed suit, all with indescribable candlestick emojis.
The few people in the front were the gang members of Watermelon and Apple. After the gang leader finished the candle-lighting formation, he scrolled back to look at the screenshots. He inexplicably felt an indescribable bitterness from these expressions.
This was a message from fifteen minutes ago, and after that, this group of people never popped up in the group to reply to any messages.
Gang leader: "This is all the people's fault... When did the fight start?"
Management: "The group was expected to start at 8 o'clock, and then they started at 7:30."
The gang leader paused and replied, "This looks like a lot of hard work."
The manager nodded: "It's really hard work. Xigua hasn't replied to my message for more than half an hour."
Gang leader: “…”
He was silent for a while, and finally sent a red envelope in the group.
The author has something to say: Watermelon: After this incident, Apple and I have broken off our friendship.
apple: Young people, don’t break up with others easily.
Gang leader: Are they fighting against the group that is trying to get to the top of the list
Management: ...Maybe it's the Tribulation Crossing Group
