The role of tactics in actual elf battles is mostly auxiliary. When the odds are evenly matched and the gap is small, the significance of tactics is to bring the situation back.
But that is not the most important thing. From the beginning of recorded elven battles, the ultimate goal pursued by all trainers is basically the strength of themselves and the elves themselves.
Only those who have not stood on this stage will question Luther's ability.
Shang Zhi knew very well that Luther would not use all his methods to deal with an opponent who was not as powerful as him. He would just rely on the elf's strength to crush him, just like he did against Hayata in the qualifiers.
How strong Misaki was, who was eliminated in the first round, is still discussed by everyone watching the game.
Although this girl, who came and went like the wind, was free and easy, left the Suzuran stage early, she captured the hearts of many people with that battle.
Now, it's time for Shang Zhi to face Luther.
Although the audience cheered for both players, when Luther's name was called, the deafening cheers in the arena were so shocking that Luther felt as if he was fighting on his home court.
We know why the home field advantage in some sports games is so great. The cheers from the audience put a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent, but it also boosts one's own morale.
Shang Zhi and Luther, who appeared with harps in their arms, nodded politely, and under the guidance of the referee, they released the elves from the first battle together.
Rose Raydor vs. Darkrai.
As expected, Darkrai's appearance caused another wave of cheers. As a popular elf in this conference, Darkrai also has many fans.
Shang Zhi glanced at Darkrai, seemed to have thought of something, and immediately had an idea.
"Shangzhi is the first player to attack, and the game begins!"
Shang Zhi gently plucked the harp: "Rose Leido, say hello first and use the missile needle."
The insect-type missile targets can indeed have a good effect on Darkrai.
Luther did not directly ask Darkrai to counterattack, but asked him to dodge first to see Darkrai's ability to dodge in the face of intensive skills.
The shimmering missile needles weaved a large net and covered Darkrai.
Darkrai relied on his own speed to dodge easily and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Rose Redo, close the distance and continue to use the missile needle."
Darkrai emerged from the missile needle barrage and turned slightly sideways. After long practice, Luther realized that this was the most comfortable position for Darkrai to release his skills.
"Dark hole."
Shang Zhi had already been prepared. According to his long-standing observations, both Darkrai's Darkrai and Luther's Darkrai were very slow in releasing the Dark Hole. This time of raising his hand could be used completely.
Shang Zhi never wanted to miss this opportunity, so he asked Roseredo to cancel the release of missile needles and use poison instead.
Darkrai broke out of the missile needle and before he could turn around, a black spherical object suddenly shot straight at Roseredo.
Rose Leiduo held up the flower in her hand, but before the poison could be released, she was unprepared and hit in the face by the dark hole.
Even the commentator didn't see Darkrai's little move of releasing the Dark Hole, and didn't react until Rose Raydor was lying on the ground.
"Use sleep talk quickly."
To deal with Darkrai, one must be prepared for the influence of the dark hole at all costs, and elves who can talk in sleep are almost indispensable.
"Trigger your nightmare trait, then use Dream Eater."
Dream Talk's random skill is the magic leaf, but Darkrai, who was wrapped in the magic leaf, was not moved at all and instead extended his spiritual power.
The nightmare characteristic that can make sleeping elves feel pain, coupled with dream eating, is a double blow.
Rose Leiduo, who stood up due to the sleep talking skill, was hit by the dream eating skill and stiffened for a moment, then fell back limply.
It was not rounded and still had some flaws. Luther looked at this dark hole with critical eyes and was still not very satisfied.
If it were Misaki's spirit, he might still be able to dodge it. After all, the movement is hidden, but the release speed still needs to be improved.
But it's already a good result for Darkrai.
He started practicing with Heiluga, Mai's Gengar and others during the seven days of the offseason. The time was short and the physical exertion was taken into account. It was always intermittent, but he could still see signs of progress.
Luther didn't know if all the legendary elves had strong learning abilities, at least his own Darkrai couldn't say that.
This is the skill that Darkrai gained from his first practical training, and the effect is very good. It can be seen that he is somewhat proud of it.
Previously, Misaki's Bankelas forced him to fight in close combat, which made him feel a sense of crisis for the first time. Now it seems that this sense of crisis came in time.
Although the restraint attribute skills are very effective, taking away Rose Leiduo with just one shot of Dream Eater still made Shang Zhi feel a lot of pressure.
Darkrai's dexterity in dodging the missile barrage just now made Shang Zhi think deeply about whether he needed to rely on speed to deal with speed.
This is the trainer's decision time.
After hesitating for a long time, when the referee was about to urge him, Shang Zhi's second Poké Ball was thrown out.
Dragon's Flying Tanabata Bluebird spread its marshmallow-like wings and flew into the air.
"Player Shangzhi's second elf is the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird, which happens to be the elf that player Luther really wants to cultivate. Now the game will be interesting."
The commentator stirred up the atmosphere of the battle at the right time.
Dragon plus flying... isn't that just a matter of Mariluli firing a blizzard or freezing fist?
But Darkrai has no intention of ending, and his fighting spirit is boiling.
It’s not easy to practice all the training things once, but how can one session be enough?
Tanabata Blue Bird is very fast. It can be seen that this is Shang Zhi's idea, to use the speed to reduce Darkrai's advantage, and then find a way to accumulate damage to Darkrai.
At the beginning of the battle, Luther let the vigorous Darkrai launch a strong attack.
A freezing beam swept into the air, which was both a lottery and the idea of resolving the battle quickly.
Qixi Blue Bird once again opened the distance to ensure that he would not be pulled closer by Darkrai's acceleration, and the dragon's breath spurted out from his mouth.
This is a dragon-type skill that has a chance of paralyzing the opponent's elf.
Luther was very particular about the last skill, which was the reserved position for the Black Mist skill.
At present, the three skills of Dark Hole, Dream Eater, and Freezing Beam are enough to use.
Luther didn't want Shang Zhi to take any chance to strengthen.
As long as his last skill is still there, Tanabata Blue Bird cannot use the method of traveling to fight and find opportunities to use Dragon Dance to enhance his abilities.
It can be seen that Shang Zhi is a little anxious, because Luther's way of dealing with it is very simple.
If you like to keep a distance and fight each other, then we will fight each other.
In short, if you want to trick me into getting the last skill slot, that's impossible.
