After two months of practice, I have almost mastered my current techniques (Caiyun Sword Technique) and footwork (extreme dodge).
The next thing to practice is [Shield Blow Defense]
The so-called shield attack defense refers to using a shield to block the opponent's attack in manual mode, which is a relatively high-level defense method.
[World of Godly Ritual] In order to be close to reality, almost all combats are based on reality. Regardless of magic attacks or physical attacks, the hit rate is not absolute. Players with high skills can resolve them through various clever methods, such as using extreme dodge.
avoid
But in many cases, if extreme dodge cannot avoid the opponent's attack, you must use [Shield Blow Defense]. In theory, as long as the difference between micro-control awareness and speed value is not too big, it will be difficult for the attacking party to hit the dodge party, but
Sometimes the attacking party can use a series of clever changes to make the evading party unable to dodge.
When there is no way to avoid it, the party being attacked must use shield to defend.
In addition to being able to block the opponent's attacks to ensure your own safety, the biggest benefit of shield attack defense is the counterattack of attacks.
[World of Divine Art] The system defaults that as long as a physical attack in close combat is successfully defended by a shield, there will be a certain chance of a rebound, knocking back or even damaging the attacking party. This is the so-called attack rebound.
However, if you want to generate attack rebound, you must use a two-handed large shield specially designed for shield warriors. General one-handed shields cannot generate attack rebound because they are not strong enough.
[Caiyun Sword Technique] [Extreme Footwork] [Shield Blow Defense] These three moves are regarded as the most basic three axes for manual mode players. As long as these three moves are used proficiently, you can basically be regarded as a qualified manual player.
Got it
Although I had never thought about becoming a so-called master before, the development of facts forced me to work harder, otherwise I would not be able to keep my title of [Lonely Master]. You must know that I am now a member of the Tiger Corps and the Immortal Legend.
The banner figure cannot fall no matter what, so comprehensive improvement of technology is necessary.
Of course, as a berserker, my main attack direction cannot be defense, and my professional style of sword master is not suitable for taking the defensive route.
But in Bloody’s opinion, my foundation is not very solid, and my defense is really poor.
Therefore, in order to improve my survivability, it is necessary to practice basic [Shield Blow Defense]
Of course, in order to ensure the attack output, the shield I use is not the large shield used by shield warriors, but a small one-handed round shield. Therefore, my [Shield Blow Defense] cannot produce attack rebound.
In other words, the purpose of my [Shield Defense] is to defend and ensure my own survivability.
The density of monsters here is not very high, and there are three mirror clones as the main attack force, so it doesn't matter even if the number four mirror clone I control kills monsters a little slower.
Right now I'm staring at a crocodile in the clouds
This guy is huge, with sharp steel teeth, a strong body, and stubby limbs lying tightly on the ground.
Behind it is a thick and long tail, which is its most powerful attack weapon besides its teeth.
At this moment, this big guy is crawling towards me with his stubby limbs.
Because of its size, it doesn't dare to crawl very fast, but its strong physique and ferocious appearance still look very intimidating.
But I've been through a lot of battles, and my appearance alone won't scare me.
After taking a deep breath, I held the shield in my left hand. Previously, my left hand was equipped with Lothar's Blade, which was a small dagger or a dagger. My right hand was equipped with Lothar's Blade, which was a knife.
A one-handed long sword about 1.2 meters long
This time, in order to train shield attack defense, I specially equipped the Shield of Judgment, a shield from the level 70 Judgment set.
Because Lothar's Edge has compatible features, even if the Judgment Shield is equipped, Lothar's Edge can still be equipped at the same time. Therefore, I still retain the overall effect of Lothar's suit. Not only that, the defense power is also increased.
2000 points
The reason why I didn't equip the Shield of Judgment before was because I was not used to equipping a shield. Once equipped with a shield, it always felt quite awkward.
But now I can’t worry about so much for training.
The crocodile in the cloud was as powerful as a rainbow. As soon as it approached the thick and long tail, it formed a semicircle and swept hard.
If I catch you with this stance, you will definitely be killed instantly.
I didn't dare to be lazy and quickly raised my shield to face the tail.
Although I have never practiced shield defense before, I am extremely proficient in Caiyun Sword Technique, so my eyesight and reaction speed are also very different from those of ordinary rookies.
Although the crocodile's tail in the cloud was very fast after being thrown out, it still couldn't escape my eyes.
The shield in my left hand just turned slightly and was clamped on my chest.
This part is exactly where I predicted the attack would land.
Bump! In the dull crashing roar, the tail of the crocodile in the cloud hit my shield of judgment hard.
The shocking force made my arm almost paralyzed, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Darling, what a terrifying power! Attack power
But fortunately, my defense was finally successful this time.
If the Shield Warrior's giant shield is used skillfully, it can increase the defense by 200%. As for the one-handed shield, it can only increase the defense by 100% at its maximum.
After equipping the Lothar suit, my basic defense is 55,000 and activating the ice protection. With Chizuru's [Enhanced Holy Light Protection], my defense can be increased to 100,000.
And this time the shield attack defense successfully intercepted. In theory, my defense power should reach 200,000. Although the crocodile in the cloud's tail flick attack is powerful and domineering, it cannot break my defense.
I was successful in the first actual combat, which made me very excited.
Unfortunately, before I could feel complacent, the crocodile in the cloud pounced on me menacingly, swung its long and thick tail again, and used the same tail flick attack.
Naturally, I refused to give in and raised my shield again to face the difficulties.
bump!
There was another impact and roar, and I was once again thrown by the tail of the crocodile in the cloud like a baseball and almost flew up.
It looked quite embarrassed, but the big guy still couldn't break through my defense, which made it furious and rushed forward with another roar.
As for me, I naturally gritted my teeth and rushed forward.
Just like this, when everyone went hand in hand to grind monsters and level up, I and this crocodile in the clouds also had a great time killing each other.
Because I have experienced two months of manual mode training before, I have a certain foundation, so it is not difficult to train shield defense.
Shield attack defense mainly tests your eyesight and technique, which is not difficult for me at all.
Two hours have passed in the blink of an eye, and the crocodile in the clouds still hasn't been able to make me lose a single bit of blood.
However, it was quite difficult for me to deal with it, because the difference in strength meant that every time I successfully defended, I would be knocked back a few steps, which made me look very embarrassed.
This also means that although I can defend successfully every time, I am unable to launch a decent counterattack.
At this time, Xueer, as a mentor, finally gave some advice: "Don't confront it head-on every time. Shield attack defense is about skill, not brute force."
"With your head, if you compete with the crocodile in the clouds with brute force, you are asking for trouble." At this time, Qianxiao also hit a blow to destroy the ice dragon and took the time to teach him a lesson: "It would be weird if you don't get blown away."
"I know you are all masters." I asked humbly while dealing with the crazy crocodile in the clouds in front of me: "Then you can tell me how to avoid being knocked away by its tail."
"You're an incompetent master," he said with a faint smile on his face, "You watch your apprentice suffer hardship and you don't teach him anything."
Bloody smiled lightly and said: "It is necessary to endure hardship, otherwise you would not know what it feels like to be knocked away."
I said depressedly: "Please teach me, please teach me, I have been hit for so long, I will be dizzy if I fly down again."
"It depends on the heat," Xue Xi thought for a while and said, "The reason why you get knocked away every time is because you hold the shield incorrectly."
"How to hold the shield" I don't know why
"The forward handshake you are using now," Xue said: "This shield-holding technique is a power-type shield-holding technique. It is only suitable for shield warriors who hold the shield with both hands. And you are not a real shield warrior, so what you use is
If you don’t have a big shield with both hands, naturally you can’t withstand the impact of the monster’s attack.”
"Then what should I do?" I humbly asked.
"In addition to holding the shield with both hands for frontal blocking, the shield can also be held diagonally." Bloody said: "You can try making the shield tilt at an angle when the crocodile attacks."
As he spoke, the thick tail of the crocodile in the cloud lashed out again like a whip.
Naturally, I didn't dare to be lazy and quickly faced it with my shield. However, this time the attack was different from before. After listening to Xuehe's description, I subconsciously tilted the front of the shield slightly and placed my body's center of gravity very low.
Bump! Once again, the tail of the crocodile in the cloud hit my one-handed shield hard.
But the strange thing is that I didn't feel the strong impact this time. I just shook my body slightly and quickly regained my balance.
Look at the tail of the crocodile in the cloud that attacked. Not only did it fail to knock me away,
Instead, its own tail flew high against my shield.
The situation looked indescribably weird, and I couldn't help but be stunned: "Ah, this, what is going on?"
"Remember this move is called sloped shield attack," Xue said in a deep voice: "Because your shield is tilted upward to withstand the attack of the crocodile's tail, so its force cannot fully act on the shield, but is pulled towards it.
It's in the air, so it loses its balance, and you're fine."
"It's amazing, there is such a thing" I exclaimed: "Is it like the beveled armor of a tank rebounding?"
"Yes, that's the truth," Xue said: "To put it bluntly, it's just a clever use of mechanics. It doesn't mean that the greater the force, the greater the impact. In many cases, a lot of effort can produce unexpected results."
"Is this how four ounces can move a thousand pounds? It's incredible." I was a little stunned. I always felt that the contrast between the front and back was too great. It was just a slight change in the way I held the shield, but the result was completely opposite.
"There are many ways to use the inclined shield attack," Xue said: "Different opponents have different ways to deal with it, so practice well."
"Yes" I nodded quickly
And it wasn't until this moment that I really felt how tall the so-called master was. Just this simple way of holding a shield gave me a whole new world of experience.
