Immediately, Sister Hong pulled out all the candid game videos of the female player with the ID "Shu Yuewu" and reviewed them one by one. She soon discovered the "secret" of the opponent's improved strength:
This is a female mage professional player from the tower clan. She seems to have a relatively fixed small team. She is young, but she occupies the main output position in the team.
However, different from the current gameplay of mainstream mage players, about a month ago, Shu Yuewu began to "uncharacteristically" switch his commonly used spells back to the "magic arrow" which can be said to be the most basic among the tower clan mage profession.
…
In "Heroes of Might and Magic: World of War", it is very difficult for spellcasters to learn spells and cast spells in battle. Compared with other games, it can even be said to be "harsh"!
But at the same time, as player casters gradually gain access to powerful second-level and even third-level spells, the "advantages of the caster profession" are gradually revealed to everyone - that is, the terrifying damage effect
!
The most famous one on the forum today is a PK video called "Five Fireball God Cult Dominates the World" that is the most talked about - the background of the video is a narrow, airtight environment similar to the passage of an underground palace.
The ins and outs of the battle have all been eliminated. The most eye-catching thing is that one of the small teams composed of two "guards" and three mages brazenly used a "lava staff" to attack more than a dozen of them on the opposite side.
A scene where a team of human players shoots the level 3 magic "Fireballs"!
The highly restrictive environment made it difficult to evade when more than ten people on the opposite side were suddenly attacked, so they had no choice but to fight head-on.
The terrifying giant fireball with a diameter of about one meter directly wiped out the opponent's two human shield-type guards in the front row with its first shot...
You must know that the [Guardian] profession of the Tower Clan has natural spell resistance compared to the [Soldier] of Erathia!
In particular, various types of equipment produced by their own clan are prone to low-level elemental resistance effects. Therefore, the [Guardians] of the Tower clan are also nicknamed "Magic T". When targeting magic attacks, they are indeed stronger than
The warriors of Erathia are strong.
But even so, the opponent's two seemingly well-armed guards were still directly wiped out by the "first blow" of the third-level magic...
Then four consecutive fireballs directly hit the opposing team of more than ten people, knocking them off their feet. It can be said that "one blow" directly sealed the victory...
According to the parties involved afterwards, they also got the "Lava Staff" by accident. So far, there is no real-life video of any player showing that he can cast the third-level magic "Continuous Fireball" on his own.
But even so, the terrifying power of the third-level magic has made countless spellcasters ecstatic...or rather, in fact, starting from the second-level spell, the caster already has the ability to be almost destructive to a single enemy of the same level.
The striking ability...
As long as one can successfully cast a second-level offensive spell in battle and successfully hit the target, almost all those who succeed will become angry on the spot. There was even a discussion on the forum "Would Geralt kneel down if he was hit?"
situation - after all, "Geralt" has always been known as the leader of the "Warrior" profession. When discussing which is stronger and weaker between "Warrior" and "Mage", it is difficult not to regard him as
Pull it out and discuss one or two~
The biggest controversy about "spellcasters" at the moment is simply that it is too difficult to learn spells, and it is difficult to hit the target with spells without "tracking" effects in actual combat. This is the fundamental reason for limiting the power of the caster group in the game.
!
Under this situation, Kuanglong's spies have determined that Shu Yuewu should have learned at least one second-level offensive spell before. From this point of view, at least it shows that the opponent's "learning ability" is still very strong, and he can
Memorizing that long "spell", even if you don't consider the issue of strengthening the "magic seal", it is already very eye-catching~
The "accident" happened just a month ago. Suddenly one day, Shu Yuewu replaced her usual attack spells with her most skilled "magic arrows"... without even adding any elements to them.
Strengthen and transform into various types of "elemental arrows" that should be more powerful!
The secret agent in charge of the investigation at that time did not know the reason, but now Sister Hong is observing it from a third angle, especially after pulling out the actual combat video screens for a month before and after for detailed comparison, the details are exposed at once: Shu Yuewu
Instead of blindly pursuing the high lethality of advanced spells, we began to constantly try to compress the casting time as much as possible to make the attack frequency of the already very simple magic arrows faster and faster!
Moreover, she very boldly began to try to move forward into the fighting position, no longer hiding herself under the protection of her teammates at the back of the team, but began to roam the entire field as a "wandering shooter"... even recently.
The girl approaches the enemy less than three meters away and casts a spell!!
The reason why mages' single-target attack spells have always been prone to "MISS" is that the casting process is too long. Once the "target" is alert, especially when players are PKing, the enemy is likely to dodge consciously;
The second is that mages usually stand at the back, and attack spells take too long to "fly".
One second, even half a second of reaction time, is enough for some players with fast reaction speed to dodge~
And under Shu Yuewu's "try", she changed her traditional spell-casting career style and instead turned herself into... a "mage shooter"??
Although the attack frequency is still slower than that of serious elven archers, it is obviously much faster than other mage players... Even now, her "magic arrow" casting speed is nearly three points faster than the average casting time of Kuanglong statistics.
one!
And her courageous approach to shortening the distance between her and the enemy also greatly increases the opponent's reaction requirements, making it increasingly difficult to dodge her magic attacks...
The only "shortcoming" is probably that Shu Yuewu wanders around like a fragrant and attractive bait, and is easily noticed by opponents.
Especially in "Invincible Heroes: World of War", the spells and skills currently mastered by players generally lack mandatory control skills. Therefore, once Shu Yuewu is targeted by enemy warriors and does not have time to get support from his teammates, he will
It's easy to be caught up and killed instantly...
The reason why this female player's performance suddenly started to become "strong" this week is because she got a very weird "displacement" spell from somewhere, which can play a very strong role in saving the enemy when they are chasing her.
The longer a mage with stronger survivability can survive in the battle, the greater the power he can exert. Therefore, after the judgment of the spy, it was initially confirmed that the opponent "may" already possess the one-on-three ability in actual combat.
Even with a one-to-five combat power, Kuanglong was notified of the "delivery"...
"Compress the casting time and shorten the shooting distance..."
After watching a series of candid videos of the other party, Sister Hong couldn't help but ponder.
In fact, things like "compressing the casting time" to increase the frequency of spell attacks are also very common operations in other games.
However, in other games, similar effects are usually achieved through equipment special effects, or through methods such as skill enhancement and talent enhancement.
Sister Hong is not sure whether there will be a similar setting in the follow-up of "Invincible Heroes: World of War" (but I guess it should be?), but Shu Yuewu's performance gave her a big wake-up call!
Could it be said that just by "repeated use", it is possible to achieve the effect of compressing the casting time?
Sister Hong is not sure about this...but at least, this seems to be a direction to try, right?
As a professional studio, Kuanglong naturally has requirements for the strength of its members. After all, if the strength is insufficient, what if the employer needs combat assistance?
At the same time, there are also some spell-casting professions in the studio, and people can be arranged to try out related experiments in the future...
Of course, the best way is to successfully "recruit" Shu Yuewu to join her studio, and try to get her to share the secret of her success...
After thinking that she had understood the details of the other party, Sister Hong made some preparations, but this time she went online and entered the game in person - yes, unlike Xu Gaosheng, who had basically retired from the game and was only responsible for the operation of the company headquarters outside the game, as a madman
Sister Hong, the first sister of Dragon Studio, still has her own account character in "Heroes of Might and Magic: World of War"~
It's just that the pressure on her to upgrade and strengthen is not great, and her main focus is still on maintaining the studio.
However, considering the identity of the opponent's "female player", Sister Hong decided to take action herself this time, and must win the opponent quickly...
However, after Sister Hong met with Shu Yuewu, Sister Hong discovered just how deceitful this outsourced "secret agent" was - his sister!! He had obviously been doing investigation work on the other party for more than a month.
I have accumulated a lot of information...but I just didn't mention the other party's "relative group"!!!
Yes, Sister Hong does know that Shu Yuewu has a relatively stable small team, especially several of the faces can be regarded as "frequent guests" in a series of candid videos... But who knows, Shu Yuewu is among these people.
Mom and Dad!!!
In such an outrageous situation, the outsourced spy didn't know whether he didn't know it or something, but he didn't even mention it...
So when she wanted to talk to the "little mage" named Shu Yuewu, the bearded [guard] in the opponent's team suddenly jumped out and said that he was Shu Yuewu's "father",
Sister Hong is completely confused~
And when Shu Yuewu's "mother" also came out to ask what happened to their "little moon"... Sister Hong could hardly describe how she felt as if she had been struck by thunder~
what's the situation?!
Is it true that people who play virtual online games these days have to take care of their families? Or is it the whole family, parents and daughters?
Even with Sister Hong’s twenty years of experience in online games, this is the first time she has seen a situation like this...
"Excuse me, what do you want to do with our little moon? We are indeed her parents. If there is anything, please talk to us first, okay?"
Fortunately, Sister Hong is a woman, and the role she has created for herself seems to be quite decent. Otherwise, "Moon's father", who carries a knife and shield and looks like "defending the family", would probably start to force her away.
People.
Reluctantly cleaning up her broken outlook on life, Sister Hong organized her words and said: "Oh, yes... that's it~ I'm actually a professional gamer, and I took the liberty to approach Shu Yuewu today. Actually, it's because
A while ago, I unexpectedly saw you fighting monsters in a PK, and then I saw it again today, and I found that Shu Yuewu in your team has made great progress.
And as a female player, she behaves very calmly when experiencing virtual online games, and her operating skills are also quite skilled...
Of course, the most important thing is that I found that she seems to be quite unique in the use of the skill 'Magic Arrow' and has her own ideas. So I thought, is it possible to invite her to try the route of a professional player...
"
Sister Hong really didn't expect that instead of talking to Shu Yuewu, she would have to contact the other person's parents. In the same case, there is a huge difference between talking to the other person as an "employer" and talking to the other person's parents.
~
Obviously, the identity of "professional gamer" has been generally recognized by society, and even high-end "e-sports professional players" can even report the identity of "sports competitive player", but when someone wants to tell their parents that they want to "hook up"
When their daughter was working and playing, Sister Hong still felt a little embarrassed...
However, what was very different from the reaction that Sister Hong imagined from the other parent's parents was that Shu Yuewu's father, the tower [Guardian] with the ID name "Moon Guardian", actually had his eyes lit up with excitement!
"Are you a professional player? From a guild? Or from an e-sports team? What kind of contract do you plan to sign with our little moon? A full member? A reserve? Or an invitation to train??"
[Um? This guy...knows his stuff?]
Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, but after realizing that the other party seemed to understand, she became even more entangled in her heart - the "formal appointment", "reserve force", "invitation to try out" and so on that the other party mentioned were actually all
Compared with "e-sports players", the most formal and high-end status among "professional players".
The rest, even the "star idols" launched by major guilds, will only use some of the titles used in commercial contracts, such as "trainee", instead of using the more formal titles of competition players...
Judging from the other party's meaning, this person is not only an "expert", but he also seems to be looking forward to his daughter becoming an official e-sports player?!
But after guessing the other party's thoughts, Sister Hong's heart collapsed even more - because compared to the other party's "expectations", she just planned to invite Shu Yuewu to be an ordinary professional player, which was different from "e-sports"
Compared with the identity of "hand", it is simply incomparable...
