Hu Die Lan
Chapter 851 Lord Grim's Flaw
Until this moment, all the viewers felt like they were waking up from a dream. And then, they felt extremely disgusted. Because just now, they were actually immersed in the combos of the players from the team they were determined to resist. For the face-smacking party who came specifically to see Happy get unlucky, how much of a loss of integrity was this?
The Wuji's Warlock player didn't show much shock when he saw his Leopold fall. His face was more blank.
He suddenly had a feeling that this duel seemed to have nothing to do with him. Especially from the moment Lord Grim got close, Leopold had been like a sandbag, being kneaded at will, without any resistance, becoming the kind of existence in exhibition matches that highlighted the performer's gorgeous skills.
His character finally fell, one-third of his health exhausted, but he didn't cause any damage to Lord Grim. In a two-and-one-third situation, this one-third seemed to have been uselessly kicked away.
The Wuji players briefly comforted the Warlock, and then the next two to play took advantage of the gap between matches to briefly exchange opinions. The individual competition also had to be fought as a whole.
Wuji's second player to appear was their Qi Master player, while He An and his Magic Swordsman Renqueye were still the trump cards of the Wuji team, in the third battle of the individual competition.
After a brief exchange, He An saw that the Warlock player was still in a daze, and smiled, patting him on the shoulder.
"You've done very well." He An's smile looked quite genuine.
The Warlock player was even more confused. Where was the good in not causing the opponent any damage?
He An continued with his genuine smile: "Lord Grim has a big problem that can be fully utilized by us in the current situation."
"What is it?" The Warlock player asked, puzzled.
"Mana." He An's smile began to show confidence.
"Mana?" The Warlock player glanced at the computer screen. The screen had already exited the match. His Leopold could no longer stand on the competition seat, so he was automatically put into the audience view. And here, he could clearly see Lord Grim standing on Happy's competition seat, as well as Lord Grim's health and mana.
Lord Grim's health was still full, but his mana had already been depleted by a quarter.
The Warlock player suddenly understood.
Although the skills of the Unspecialized Lord Grim were all low-level skills, the consumption was low. But because the damage of the skills was not high, from the perspective of completing the match, the mana consumption he needed was no better than a normal class.
"From the match data we obtained from the previous round, and some simulation tests we conducted, the attack power of the silver weapon in Lord Grim's hands should be a bit low. Although he also has some silver equipment with unknown data, from the overall assessment, Lord Grim's attack power should be lower than what it should be for his equipment level by three standard deviations." He An continued.
The Warlock player nodded. This was the research conclusion on Lord Grim in their week's preparation, which was written on the tactical board. And now that He An emphasized this point again, the Warlock player was even clearer. At this time, to complete a match, Lord Grim's mana consumption would not only not be lower than a normal class, but it would be even higher. Because his low damage was not only because of the low skill level, but also because of the low weapon attack.
If the consumption is low when the skill level is low, and the consumption is high when the level is high, and there is some balance in between, then the lack of damage caused by the low weapon can only be compensated by more mana consumption.
The Challenge League's rules are a bit more relaxed than the professional league's. Characters can carry potions, but there are restrictions on the number of uses. Potions can only be used once in total. Right now, Lord Grim has used up a quarter of his mana to take down one-third of the health of the Warlock, a profession with low defense and not much health. Even if he drinks the best mana potion, it will only restore 20% of his mana, which probably won't help much in the current situation. Lord Grim still has to face two players with full health and status!
"Why did I forget this!" The Warlock player now understood, and first became annoyed. "If I had noticed it earlier, I shouldn't have thought about consuming his health, but his mana."
"We all overlooked it a bit, but it's not too late to discover it now," He An said with a smile.
They hadn't realized this before the battle because they hadn't expected the individual competition to be able to achieve such a great advantage. After all, even if Lord Grim's mana consumption burden was a bit heavy, with the help of a mana potion, it would be enough to deal with a remaining health plus a full-health opponent. Usually, the outcome of an individual competition is just a matter of millimeters. Not to mention one-on-three, even two-on-three is rare in the professional circle.
The Wuji team had indeed made a week of thorough preparations, but don't forget that they were almost one-on-three by Happy in the previous round, so they didn't confidently think that such an advantageous situation would appear. Lord Grim's mana problem was not taken seriously.
It wasn't until the Warlock player successfully one-on-two and then entered the third round, starting to deal with Lord Grim, that He An suddenly thought of this.
The match had already begun, so he certainly had the integrity not to remind the Warlock player of this. In his opinion, Lord Grim's mana was not enough to deal with two full-status characters. In Leopold's match, he should earn as much consumption as possible! In the end, Lord Grim's mana was consumed by a quarter, which was equivalent to offsetting the best mana potion. This result was already pretty good, so He An was able to smile so genuinely and confidently at this time.
The Qi Master player had already taken the stage, and the character quickly entered the competition seat. He had completely communicated with He An. In this round, he didn't need to fight for victory, but he needed to work very hard to fight a war of attrition with Lord Grim, as much as possible to increase Lord Grim's mana consumption. Of course, it would be even more wonderful if he could deal some health damage.
The fourth round of the individual competition started soon.
The Qi Master character, Tiannu, was particularly active in attacking from the start of the match. There was no other reason. Health and mana are automatically restored to a certain extent for each class and character. Of course, during the intermittent time in the individual competition, the character's status is refreshed and the character's data is locked, so there is no recovery. But once the match is reloaded, this automatic recovery will begin to take effect.
He An was also a very careful person, so he didn't want to miss even this point in the communication with the Qi Master player. In fact, automatic recovery is really insignificant. It is definitely impossible to support the battle by relying on automatic recovery. However, He An was very worried that his opponent would be extremely cheap and would not fight, but would rely on this automatic recovery to recover for an hour, two hours, or three hours until he was satisfied...
Tiannu charged up.
He An quickly went to the audience's God's perspective to look at Lord Grim, and found that Lord Grim was also rushing forward, and didn't seem to have such a despicable intention, so he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the game started, and he would no longer give the Qi Master any hints. He calmed down and silently watched the game.
If we talk about the attack range of the Qi Master profession, we can only say that there are some mid-range attack methods, not like a Gunner who is a completely long-range attacker. So when he encountered Lord Grim, the first to strike would certainly not be him, but Lord Grim.
In the past, he might have felt a little bored facing such a character, but at this time, the Qi Master player was happy to do so. Long-range attacks are not easy to hit. If Lord Grim really started attacking from the farthest distance, he simply wouldn't go forward. He would just pretend that he couldn't rush over from a distance and let him consume it.
The Qi Master player secretly made up his mind, and gradually saw Lord Grim's figure. Then the distance closed, and then Lord Grim launched an attack from a distance as expected.
But the Qi Master player couldn't be happy at all.
Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!!
Gunshots continued, but no more than two shots were consecutive. Lord Grim was simply using normal attacks, and normal attacks don't consume any mana at all!
The Qi Master player pretended to have Tiannu dodge, but Lord Grim was still "bang bang bang" with just normal attacks.
Damn it, are you shooting rabbits!
The Qi Master player was a little angry. The gun in Lord Grim's hand was obviously a rifle, the most it could fire was two shots in a row. At this time, Lord Grim stood far away in a dashing manner, holding the gun and playing spot shooting, sometimes once, sometimes twice in a row, looking like he was hunting.
If we keep consuming like this, won't it allow him to recover automatically? The Qi Master player saw that his conspiracy didn't work at all, so he had no choice but to continue to approach. But he didn't force it very strongly. As long as Lord Grim used a skill attack, he would definitely act as if it was very difficult for him to rush over and let the other party happily attack him a few more times.
So Tiannu rushed up wobbling like this. Lord Grim didn't seem to be interested in always keeping the distance and hunting, and came to meet him head-on.
Skills, use skills!
The Qi Master player kept chanting in his heart. At this distance, Lord Grim already had many skills he could use!
So it was under this completely distorted psychology that the two sides got closer and closer, until all the viewers were stunned.
Damn it! Tiannu, are you an idiot? You're already this close, and you're a Qi Master, why haven't you started attacking? Are you planning to fight Lord Grim in close combat?
The Qi Master profession has some close combat abilities, but they are not outstanding. And Lord Grim, although he has long-range attack methods, the way he destroyed the Warlock Leopold just now made people think that the Unspecialized profession is the most terrifying in close combat. And now, Tiannu has reached the range where the Qi Master can attack, and he's still shaking and wobbling as if waiting to be beaten. This guy... could he have been bought by Happy Team?
