In the post posted by Cheng Shaofeng, the basic conditions that Shadow Guard can achieve are set, allowing players to freely use their imagination to put together a set of top-notch BD.
After a whole day of brewing, this post really has a lot of good ideas!
Many ideas that Cheng Shaofeng had never thought of were come up with by players, and each one is very powerful!
Cheng Shaofeng found many exciting BDs from it.
Among them, the three main types are combat methods and shooting.
Warrior series, Mage series and Shooter series.
The Shadow Guard 1 before Cheng Shaofeng was a hexagonal warrior who could be used for close combat or long-range shooting, with the Inquisitor's bullets and the Soldier's rhythm strikes as the main output points. It was still a set of BD based on attack rhythm, but because it was a guide made by Yaohu in the early days, it has not kept up with the times. Now the skills of each inheritance are very rich, especially the more powerful advanced skills!
Shadow Guard 2 is a dual-wielding warrior, and his actual combat effect is... average. It can only be said that the intangible characteristics of Shadow Guard are not friendly to pure melee combat. While being immune to physical damage, it will amplify various energy damage, and it is easy to die suddenly.
Moreover, Shadow Guard 2 spent most of his time doing business in the central city, and did not have many opportunities to make moves. Cheng Shaofeng was not very satisfied with the BD of Shadow Guard 2, and felt that it was lacking...
After the promotion, the attributes of the three shadow guards were greatly improved along with their bodies, and they also gained 12 skill slots. Taking advantage of the skill explosion at the base during this period, Cheng Shaofeng wanted to match three BDs that could fight against other fourth-level inherited professionals!
Moreover... after Cheng Shaofeng reaches the fourth stage, he can no longer gain experience points by absorbing crystal energy. He can only rely on the Shadow Guards to gain experience and then feed it back to himself. Then his three Shadow Guards can no longer just sit there and do nothing, they have to go with the players to kill monsters and gain experience.
To sum up, the BD strength of the Shadow Guard that Cheng Shaofeng wants must be very high!
"Oh, right, the Shadow Guard has to return the experience points to me, so it's best to have a certain ability to protect your life. Otherwise, if you kill people randomly outside and your main body doesn't get any experience points, it will be a pity..."
It takes three days for him to be weak when he summons a shadow guard!
The shadow guard can't just die easily.
After Cheng Shaofeng's screening, he first selected a very popular BD.
A mage BD contributed by the expert player 'Da Ni Xiao Ji Ji' from the southern battlefield.
Cheng Shaofeng has never experienced the feeling of being a magician, and he plans to give it a try recently.
Da Ni Xiao Ji Ji: "My BD is called: Thunder King!"
"A very flexible and high-output mage-type BD with the general skill Wind Strike as the main output skill! (PS: It is best to pair it with a flying pet, such as a certain blue bird)"
“I think a good mage should specialize in a certain damage type series of skills, rather than knowing a little bit of all damage types. That way, a lot of attributes will be wasted when matching equipment, inlays, and constellations.”
"But because some monsters may have particularly strong resistance to one aspect, for example, the ice resistance of snow mountain monsters is almost 60% or more, which is the nightmare of ice mages... So it is best to have two energy damages with different attributes but can be linked."
"This set of Lightning King is mainly based on ice + electricity energy output. The main output skill is Wind Strike, and the secondary output is Wind Demon. The other 10 skills are all selected around how to maximize these two skills. As for why the Shaman's Wind Demon is used as the secondary output point... Because the two skills have a very good compatibility!"
"The Wind Demon is a ball of pale blue energy. It is almost invisible when hidden in the thunderclouds. It can be used together with Wind Strike to release a large amount of damage. In addition, the Wind Demon's extended skill, Storm, can cause range deceleration and weaken elemental resistance. Combined with the ultra-high output Wind Strike, it can deal tons of damage. The combination of the two is simply a martial soul fusion skill! Our team has already tested it, and it is really powerful!"
"There are only three skills at the moment, and the other nine skills will be selected based on three functions: weakening, increasing damage, displacement, and saving lives."
"After checking all the current skill systems, I selected the following 9 skill combinations to form this Lightning King BD!"
"Increase damage: Arcane's Mind Focus and universal fire spells can both increase intelligence and energy. In addition, the soldier's war order and expanded skill squad tactics can greatly enhance key attributes such as defense, attack, armor, all damage, and casting speed."
“Weakened: The mysterious Curse of Weakness and Expansion Skills are weakened, reducing speed and elemental resistance, allowing you to chase the enemy and keep hitting.”
"Movement: If you don't have a mount, I would recommend the mysterious summon hellhound. If you have a flying mount, I would choose the Inquisitor's Windrunner."
"Save your life: I recommend the Barbarian's active Ignore Pain and the Soldier's passive Unyielding Will. The former will reduce your damage greatly after being activated, and can be used to withstand some unavoidable damage. The latter can instantly restore health when the body is close to death, and can be used to deal with some emergencies."
"Finally, there is a special skill... the universal skill of Tampering with Life, a very peculiar skill. It will give you a flash of inspiration, increasing your critical hits or avoiding attacks. Because it is a bit mysterious and the skill mechanism is not very clear, its performance is not particularly stable. If you like this kind of sudden surprise, you can choose to replace Unyielding Will."
"In summary, all 12 skills are: Wind Strike, Wind Demon, Storm, Mind Focus, Fire Spell, War Order, Squad Tactics, Curse of Weakness, Weakened, Wind Walker (can be replaced with Summon Hellhound), Ignore Pain, Unyielding Will (can be replaced with Tampering)"
"When choosing a constellation, be sure to choose Tsunami! Bind the constellation skill to Wind Strike, and the violent storm will be mixed with the impact of waves... Wow~ It's so cool!"
"Damn it! I want to delete my account and start over again!"
Da Ni Xiao Ji Ji's "Thunder King" strategy post is very detailed, and the ideas from output methods to skill combinations are very clear. You don't even need to try this set of Cheng Shao Feng, you can feel the solid basic skills from the text!
"Take this set... you can't go wrong!"
"A set of mage BD uses multiple inheritances and common skills, reaching the theoretical limit. In this world, it is also the best among the fourth-level professionals."
"It seems that the southern battlefield has also allowed the players to evolve and figure out a lot of good things."
"but... "
Cheng Shaofeng thought about it for a while and felt that there was still some room for improvement.
"Soldiers' War Orders and Squad Tactics are aura skills. My Shadow Guard usually acts by possessing a clone. If the clone learns these two skills and uses them myself, they can be amplified on the Shadow Guard, saving two skill slots. In this case... I can just add the two alternative skills of Summoning Hellhounds and Tampering with Life!"
A flying pet... Cheng Shaofeng doesn't have one yet. He plans to consult with the Cang Niao after the battlefield in the south has settled down. He has helped them so much, so there should be no problem in getting a few birds for him to ride on, right
But before that, he still needs the hellhound to get around.
"But the cost of this set is... really not low!"
"If I max out all my skills, I'll have to spend a lot of crystals, especially for skills above level 30, such as Wind Strike and Summon Hellhound. It costs me 16,000 crystals to upgrade one level. It's so damn expensive!"
"I still have 15 skill points. Even if I use them all, I'm still 1 point away from maxing out Wind Strike. This is a lot of money..."
"But it's worth it! Summoning a hellhound is a universal skill. Both my main body and other shadow guards can use it as a means of transportation. At critical moments, I can fight as a third-level fire mage."
For some players who specialize in summoning, the hellhound's attack power is comparable to that of the fourth level after multiple skill enhancements and constellation enhancements!
It’s never a bad idea to have one of these all-purpose pets.
Cheng Shaofeng saved this plan and started learning skills after waiting for the crystals paid by the soldiers to arrive.
"Let's take a look at the second set..."
"These Wangdao BDs are no worse than Daji's..."
"Warrior? Or archer?"
This is the point that he is more confused about.
The incorporeal characteristic will give the warrior-type shadow guard a huge advantage when facing martial arts enemies. If the opponent does not have an energy conversion weapon, he cannot even touch his spirit body.
But they will be at a huge disadvantage against any other type of energy monk.
Although he currently has 25% total resistance due to level increase, it is still not enough to make up for the double damage.
"The shooter is a bit too old-fashioned. With the bullet supply from my main body, every shadow guard can be a shooter. It is not necessary to make it a specialization. The shooter is not strong enough when facing a fourth-level professional..."
The attributes of a fourth-order person increase greatly. He can sense when someone is aiming at him from a distance, but bullets travel in a straight line and can be easily avoided.
The skills of a mage are often guided and directional, making it easier to attack the enemy.
"Find something non-mainstream, those sexy routines..."
Cheng Shaofeng looked through dozens of posts and found a few interesting ones.
"Trap flow BD!"
"This is quite interesting. It combines the trap skills of all professions, traps within traps, traps within traps, rings within rings... With multiple traps linked together, as long as you can arrange the battlefield in advance, you can resist enemies that are several times your number!"
“It’s kind of fun...”
"Although this BD belongs to the category of hobby, but... for the shadow guards who need to protect the sub-base, it is really a good option!"
"The ice rune of Judgment, the mines of Explosion, the rock guard of the ranger, the vine binding of the shaman, the frost sword array of the magic sword..."
"Wait... this BD seems a bit like tower defense! The player's name is 'Defend Athena', damn! This person is an author who switched from the dota tower defense game, damn! I thought it had such a strong flavor!"
This was very much to Cheng Shaofeng's liking, so he wrote it down.
The Central City is currently his base for making money, and it is not connected to the base. There must be a shadow guard watching over there, and this trap flow BD will be used there.
"Finally... this is a trick. MD is indeed Lin Tang. He always gives me something new to do!"
This was the post he noticed at the beginning. After reading a bunch of posts from other players, he still felt that Lin Tang’s post was more amazing!
He gave this set a name: "Don't Touch Me!"
Lin Tang: "I designed a counter attack BD for my friends last time. Although it was successful, many ideas had to be abandoned due to the dual specialization restrictions plus skill point and attribute restrictions. However, this post by Sentinel has rekindled my ideas that were sealed last time!"
"In fact, that counterattack has a fatal flaw, because it didn't show up when facing the Zerg in the southern battlefield... The traditional outer circle scrapes, the inner circle burns, and the necessary condition for hitting me is that others make the first move. What if the other party is a human and doesn't make a move? What if he just watches you from afar and then sets a fireball on you?"
"So, the ultimate counterattack BD: Don't touch me or I'll touch you, here it comes!"
"By adding some useful skills from other specializations to the previous ideas, we can combine a skill system with no blind spots!"
"Since our main strategy is to lie down and move by ourselves, then we should stick to it and use our skills to kill the opponent."
"This requires the use of two new skills that have just been released. The 35th level specialized skill of Demon Sword Heritage - Sword Controlling. As the level increases, you can control up to 5 flying swords to attack around you, or you can control 5 flying swords to combine into one and step on it to fly. You can attack or move. It is a rare magical skill. I estimate that Demon Sword Heritage will ascend to the T1 throne because of this new skill. After all, the value is only temporary, but the coolness... is lifelong."
"Another skill is the universal skill the Lord just got, the Spinning Axe, which can also control multiple weapons to attack. These two skills will solve the problem that we can't take the initiative to attack!"
"With the addition of these two core skills, our concept becomes... The outer circle is made of vines that scrape, and the inner circle is made of flames that burn. If you hit me, you will stab yourself. If you don't hit me, you will be chased and hit by a bunch of weapons! If you want to run, I will chase you on the flying sword and stab you!"
"With other skills that increase tankiness and resistance, you are a brainless turtle. You can't beat me, and I'm still chasing you and beating you!"
"Of course, it would be even better if a teammate could give me more auras. That would be my dream BD!"
Cheng Shaofeng clicked his tongue twice after reading it.
"Awesome!"
"Lin Tang is a talented player. How could he come up with such a cheap BD? Others can't kill me, but I make them sick to death..."
Lin Tang’s set is really practical!
After all, the unupgraded version has already made contributions on the southern battlefield, and it has automatically upgraded by lying in the insect tide.
This "Ultimate Counterattack BD: Don't touch me or I will touch you" is even more awesome.
"I'll choose this as my last BD!"
After completing the 3 sets of selections, Cheng Shaofeng was not in a hurry to exit the quantum surfing state.
He read the information of the players of Southern Battlefield in the QQ group.
"Eh? They have an event tomorrow? When the new players level up, organize an attack and rush into the insect swarm to take down one of the shrines? Oh my goodness... When there are more players, it will be powerful. We will switch from defense to active offense!"
"After the players take down the new shrine, I will also go to the southern battlefield to light up these six and raise the combat power to the highest level!"
Cheng Shaofeng had a hunch... After Zhao Rulong went back, something must have been brewing within the Cross Church, where nothing had happened, to target them.
The calm before us... is just an illusion before the storm.
"Then let's see who develops faster, me or the players, or who is stronger than you, the Cross..."
