Whether it is a city defense battle or a positional battle in which both sides square off, the strategic significance of the shooter is unquestionable.
Unlike the relatively sparse number of spellcasters.
The total number of shooters is much higher.
Therefore, they have become the main force of remote output most of the time.
But during actual combat, Zong Shen discovered that there were many restrictive factors for shooters.
The first is the limitation in shooting range. The range of most shooters' direct fire attacks is within the range of 150 meters to 300 meters.
If it is ejected, it can be raised to about 200~300 meters on this basis.
The attack range of four to five hundred meters is actually not enough in a city defense battle.
Especially war modes like Endless Continent.
At the very least, it must have a range of seven to eight hundred meters to achieve effective output.
The emergence of military formations that specialize in shooter blessings has solved this problem to a certain extent.
Secondly, it is actually very difficult for shooters of different levels and series to achieve continuous volleys.
Because of the concept of attack speed, the attack speeds of different types and levels of shooters are completely different.
Even if the results are consistent in the first round, gaps will appear after the second round.
Unless you wait specifically, extend the salvo time to the slowest rate of fire.
Military formations can also solve this problem.
As long as they are shooters of the same level, they can meet the requirements, even if they are of different ethnic groups and sequences.
For example, the rangers of Avalon and the forest-piercing archers of the elves can be included in the military formation for reorganization if they are of the same level.
After completing the reorganization, you can enjoy the effects and blessings brought by the military formation.
Finally, there is the issue of the shooter's position.
In actual wars, shooters either sit in the rear and rely on the protection of bunkers for output.
Or deploy them on both wings and cooperate with the cavalry and infantry at the front to strangle the enemy.
There are very few opportunities for a frontal volley.
It takes a lot of time just to assemble in formation and to command with flag orders or magical voice transmissions.
This problem can also be solved using military formations.
All in all, with the addition of [Military Formation: Volley of Forest Piercers (Gold)], the output of the territory’s archer units will usher in an explosive growth.
Its core skill is the [Forest-piercing Volley] with the same name as the military formation.
In thirty seconds, a group of 3,000 archers fired a total of 90,000 arrows.
The frequency and intensity of such attacks are comparable to a violent storm.
But what it spreads is not rain, but real death.
The attached passive effect allows the shooters in the military formation to have a range of 800 meters, improve armor penetration and damage, and add a stacking damage BUFF, which greatly improves the comprehensive attack intensity.
The cooldown time of [Forest Volley] is only 5 minutes.
This time is not too long.
The defense towers and high-level defense buildings in the territory can buy enough output time for the shooter army.
Under the premise of having strong bonuses, the effect of sharing part of the damage is still not compromised, allowing shooters to have stronger survivability.
In actual combat, survival time is equal to output time in a sense.
"Sure enough, large army operations still rely on military formations."
"This is just a golden epic military formation."
"It is conceivable that those high-level military formations combined with high-level units of level five or above can completely defeat legendary or even higher-level opponents."
"This will eliminate the gap caused by individual strength."
Zong Shen sighed in his heart.
He naturally understands the meaning of the military formation.
The fighting between the Aboriginal regular troops has always been fierce.
The legendary strong ones are often just the finale.
Only when the opponent's legend is dispatched, your own legend will follow.
This achieves a check and balance of king against king and soldier against soldier.
Normally, aboriginal wars involve the armies of both sides forming their own formations to fight.
Reasonable deployment and use of terrain, as well as the intervention of spellcasters and other factors are very important.
High-level spellcasters and natural disaster-level magic are the second most important combat factors in aboriginal wars, besides military formations.
After pondering for a while, he clapped his hands and chose to master the military formation blueprint with his mind.
The military formation paper scroll in his hand immediately turned into a milky white light and merged into his body. The [Military Formation] list suddenly had the option of [Forest-Piercing Volley (Gold)].
He gave those high-level combat heroes with legion command positions the authority to call military formations.
The activation requirements for this military formation are not low.
The commander is required to have more than 1200 points of charm and 800 points of wisdom.
Ordinary combat heroes really can't hold on.
Even legendary Wild Wolf warriors like Colby, who had gained the power of the Nine Sacrifice Spirit Totem, were unable to do so.
Because what he stands out for is [Strength] and [Agility].
Especially [Strength] has reached nearly 3000 points, and Agility has exceeded 1500 points.
However, he only had a pitiful few hundred points in the two attributes [Wisdom] and [Charm] required for [Military Formation: Volley of the Forest Piercer (Gold)].
So the requirements for this military formation are quite high.
We need to strengthen it in a targeted manner in the future, especially for those shooter-type heroes.
After mastering the [Forest Volley (Gold)] military formation, Zong Shen immediately looked at the next military formation.
The new army formation is also of the shooter type, and is also of the golden epic level.
It's just that it focuses on projectiles rather than straight salvos.
Picking up the military formation scroll, Zong Shen stared at it slightly.
Immediately, subtitles were refreshed and appeared in the mind.
[Military Formation·Watching the Moon and Long Throw (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic military formation]
[Commander requirements: Charm>900 points, Wisdom>1000 points, comprehensive command value not less than 1300 points]
[Wang Yue Projectile: Only archers of the same level can be recruited. The maximum number of people in the army is 2,500, divided into three projectile modes, which can last up to 20 rounds]
[Low Throw: The maximum range is 950 meters, and the interval between each round is 2 seconds]
[High Throw: The maximum range is 1500 meters, and the interval between each round is 5 seconds]
[Xu Jin Projectile: The range is progressively from 1200 meters to 1500 meters, and the interval between each round is 4 seconds]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [Effect: The maximum range is increased to 950 meters ~ 1500 meters, all arrows come with an additional 50 points of armor penetration, and each time they hit the target, they will cause
Penetration effect, weakening the target's armor by 15 points, stacking up to 5 layers]
[After completing twenty rounds of projectiles, you need to wait 10 minutes before launching a new round of attacks]
[When throwing and killing more than 100 targets of the same level, the cooling time of the next round will be reduced by 1 minute]
[In the military formation state, 50% of the damage suffered by all soldiers will be shared by all members, as will the treatment effect]
(A more powerful projectile formation with three different projectile modes that can be used to deal with groups of enemies under different conditions.
Low throw has the lowest range, but the highest rate of fire
The opposite is true for high selling
Xu Jin's projectile can make the thrown arrows advance steadily and continuously kill enemies in a straight line.
Each of the three modes has its own characteristics. The commander can decide which mode to use based on the battlefield situation.
The military formation comes with additional armor-piercing and armor-breaking stacking effects.
It also has the ability to evenly distribute damage and treatment.
Properly arranging a spellcasting team or life recovery BUFF for the military formation is a very important skill)
…
[Moon Projection] has a higher range.
Specializes in long-distance strikes and armor-piercing effects.
The only drawback is that there is no increase in the base damage of arrows.
However, the armor-piercing effect is often equivalent to the damage-increasing effect.
In addition, the commander attribute requirements of [Moon-Walking Projectile] are lower, and the number of people required to prepare it is also smaller.
However, considering the extended range of the projectile, these differences are acceptable.
There are two major archer array additions: [Forest Volley] and [Moon-Winning Throw].
The actual combat shortcomings faced by the archer corps in the territory have been greatly improved.
In the future, even wars initiated by the indigenous people will be able to be dealt with calmly.
Zong Shen clapped his hands as usual and learned and mastered [Military Formation·Moon Projection (Gold)].
Without further ado, he immediately looked at the next military formation.
There will be three more military formations in the future, all of which are at the Yaoguang level. Compared with the two archer military formations, their strength is definitely not lower than that of the two archer formations. Zong Shen is still looking forward to this.
The next military formation is an infantry type, and the main weapon is limited to a sword.
Only types of soldiers such as swordsmen, sword and shield warriors, and samurai can be used as organizational units.
Its name is [Military Formation·Moonwind Sword Formation (Year Light Level 3)], and the name contains many keywords.
"Moon", "wind", and "sword" are all keyword elements.
It is estimated that the moon system ability and wind system effect should be strengthened.
Targeted at sword weapon specialization.
Zong Shen thought about it and then focused his eyes.
After the idea of exploration emerged, the golden subtitles appeared simultaneously.
[Commander requirements: Charm > 2000 points, Wisdom > 1500 points, comprehensive command value not less than 2500 points]
[Moonwind Sword Formation: Only melee units of the same level whose main weapon is a sword can be recruited. The maximum number of soldiers in the formation is 5,500. After launching the Moonwind Sword Formation, moon blades and wind blades will appear on the periphery of the entire army to strangle everything.
All enemies cause 2000 points of slashing damage, increase the impact resistance and toughness of the entire army by 50 points, and increase the upper limit of health by 10%, lasting for 30 minutes]
[Effect: Increase the attack speed by 20% and the movement speed by 30%. A 30 cm wide moonlight appears on the surface of all sword blades, increasing the attack range and increasing armor penetration by 70 points. Each time it hits the target, it will cause erosion and damage.
The cutting effect weakens the target's armor by 15 points and causes 20 points of erosion damage per second, which lasts for 15 seconds and can be stacked up to 5 times]
[Erosion damage can restore the soldier’s health at a rate of 50%]
[Concentrated Slash (can condense up to 1000 attacks into 1 attack to attack the specified target, cooling time is 3 minutes)]
[Each time the effect of the Moon Wind Sword Formation ends, it takes 4 hours before a new round of sword formation can be launched]
[In the formation state, every time the legion kills more than 500 targets of the same level, the cooling time of the next round of Moonwind Sword Formation will be reduced by 2 minutes]
[In the military formation state, 65% of the damage suffered by all soldiers will be shared by all members, as well as the treatment effect]
(The powerful Moonwind Sword Formation uses moonlight and wind blades to increase damage, increase double speed and armor penetration
In addition, the outer periphery of the legion can be protected by moon blades and wind blades, which enhances the overall output and ability to rush into battle and strengthen the impact resistance of the legion.
And the [Gathering Slash] effect can gather the power of thousands of people to fight against the enemy's high-level units.
Just be aware that this skill has a 3 minute cooldown interval
As a level 3 Yaoguang-level military formation, the damage sharing ratio has been increased from 50% to 65%.
When soldiers with swords as their main weapons form a formation, they can definitely become strangled teeth on the battlefield, crushing all enemies along the way)
…
This military formation appears to be more powerful in comparison.
After all, it is a close-combat strangling military formation, and the blessings from all aspects emphasize head-on confrontation.
Use absolute sharpness and rapid advance and cutting to fragment the enemy swarm.
Zong Shen can fully understand the strategic value it contains.
As long as you gather enough soldiers of the same level that meet the requirements, you can immediately form a formation.
Moreover, this military formation actually has a lot of DIY space for operation.
He can even play combinations.
Just like what he analyzed before.
There are many subdivisions of melee classes using swords as weapons.
For example, dual-wielding swordsmen are common among elves.
They will fight with two light swords, focusing on swift attacks, and can perform many attacks in a short period of time.
There are also heavily armored swordsmen armed with broad-bladed swords. Their attacks are powerful and heavy, and each strike is extremely fierce.
In addition, there are shield warriors who cooperate with swords and shields to provide both offense and defense.
And a samurai who wields a long sword and combines the characteristics of a heavy swordsman and a dual-wielding swordsman.
These are all warriors who meet the establishment requirements of the [Moon Wind Sword Formation].
It only requires the same level, but not the same sequence and ethnic group.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then Zong Shen can completely combine.
For example, arrange for 1,000 dual-wielding swordsmen to be scattered in the back half of the two wings, 1,000 heavy-armed swordsmen to stay at the front, and 1,000 warriors to stay at the rear, and then arrange 2,500 shield warriors to supplement the front and two wings respectively, to coordinate
Dual wielding swordsman and heavy swordsman output.
In this way, you can not only form a lineup with superimposed advantages, but also enjoy the buffs provided by [Moonwind Sword Formation].
In addition, you can also choose other options, or go for a more eccentric and purified combination.
Therefore, compared with the two archer formations [Forest Volley] and [Moon-Winning Throw], [Moonwind Sword Formation] is more flexible and has more diverse "playing methods".
The infantry units in the territory are still relatively sufficient.
Although the requirements for these military formations are high, there are still some heroes who can meet the requirements.
It's like Joan of Arc after being enlightened by a legend.
There are also ancient heroes [Beast King Rexxar Rema], [Demon Hunter Feronas Criminal], Lilia, Lan Xiaodai, the developing Xiao Heizi and Xuebing all have sufficient attributes.
It is not a problem to utilize it in a short time.
The military formation thing cannot be imposed by force.
Because different military formations have different characteristics.
What kind of military formation should be used depends on the battlefield conditions.
The military formations found in the Azshara Elf Treasure House today were all left behind by the night elves back then.
Has obvious ethnic characteristics.
Although it can be used universally, it may not be absolutely applicable.
Therefore, Zong Shen’s follow-up and evaluation are indispensable.
Therefore, military formations are like architectural drawings and need to be collected as much as possible.
During war, there is room for choice. Depending on the opponent, you can decide which military formation to use to form a legion to fight against the enemy.
