Hu Die Lan
Chapter 872 Calculated Clearly
Those who couldn't handle it well, like Chen Guo and Luo Ji, were fortunately Gunners, a ranged class, and Summoners, classes that commanded summoned beasts to fight. As long as the situation was controlled well, and they didn't create problems themselves, they wouldn't encounter any difficulties.
Next, he needed to calculate whether the output of a ten-man team that was five levels lower would be enough to take down this Boss.
Normally, during the initial clearing, the output would be tight. Team members would need to gradually acquire equipment and improve their character stats before the pressure would slowly disappear. But now, they were facing a five-level level suppression, so it was impossible to say there was no output pressure.
It would be extremely difficult for ordinary players to clear this level 75 ten-man dungeon at level 70. But Team Happy was no ordinary team. First, the skills of the team members were far above ordinary players. In any game, output depended on equipment and operational skills. And Glory was a game that particularly emphasized operation, making skill even more crucial. High-level operational skills naturally resulted in higher output than ordinary players.
Another point was that Team Happy's class composition was quite arrogant.
Taking Blue Brook Guild's initial dungeon team as an example, a ten-man team would have two MTs and three healers. The main output classes were only five. Clearing the dungeon required caution, so Blue Brook Guild brought three extra healing classes. But even when they were completely familiar with the dungeon, ten-man dungeons rarely had only one healer. Unless it was a specific scene or Boss that one healer could handle, most of the time, two or more healers were needed.
And what about Happy now? The MT was Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, a non-MT class directly pulling aggro with output. There was only An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands as a healer. They dared to mess around like this because their skills were superb. Team members could use their own skills to resolve various Boss attacks, reducing the pressure on the healer. Ordinary players couldn't do this. If they tried to do this and dodged, the effect wouldn't be good, and they might even mess up their positioning by bumping into each other.
What about Happy's players? The melee fighters left space between each other, attacking and dodging without interfering with each other, showing well-trained coordination. The daily professional-level training wasn't just about practicing individual skills; team coordination was also a daily focus.
The only exception was Mo Fan. This guy still didn't consider himself a member of Team Happy. Ye Xiu and the others didn't usually call him for team training. So, when everyone attacked together, Mo Fan seemed a little different. Everyone else was a unified whole, while he remained detached. Offense and defense were all his own decisions, his own rhythm, which seemed quite out of sync. Fortunately, his skills were solid, so even though he was out of tune, he didn't cause any trouble.
Ye Xiu had considered all these issues in advance. He formed a team to clear the dungeon, not to sightsee. It was only because there was no information about the Boss that he needed to assess it on the spot.
At this time, the crowd began their group attack. After observing for a while, Ye Xiu felt that there was still a chance.
"The output is a bit tight, everyone pay attention to the rhythm and seize the opportunity," Ye Xiu said.
There were no novice rookies here anymore, so this was enough. If it were Tang Rou or Bao Zi in the past, Ye Xiu would have had to explain in detail what kind of rhythm and opportunities they needed to grasp. But now, just a theoretical explanation was enough for everyone to understand. Especially Tang Rou and Bao Zi, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he saw their current eye-catching performances.
Under Ye Xiu's command and aggro-pulling, the following battle was always thrilling but safe. Everyone knew that the situation had been completely stabilized. After this, the only thing to be careful about was the Boss's red health. When the health turned red, the Boss would always change. This was a characteristic of Glory. But this change wasn't necessarily a stronger berserk mode. There were also Bosses that tried to escape when their health turned red. If you encountered such a Boss and tried to defend against a berserk ultimate move and quickly dodged away, you would suffer a great loss. The person's ultimate move was to escape. If you dodged, wouldn't you be wasting your effort?
But right now, Ye Xiu and the others were clearing the initial stages, so survival came first. Even if Ji Lang escaped, they would have passed the first checkpoint of the dungeon and could continue to advance.
So, when Ji Lang's health dropped to almost 10%, Ye Xiu decisively ordered all melee classes to temporarily retreat.
"Pay attention to health, calculate the damage clearly!" Seeing Tang Rou and other melee classes retreat, Ye Xiu said to the other ranged classes who were still maintaining their attacks.
"Just don't let your eyes deceive you," Wei Chen said.
"Meiguang's summoned beasts should also be pulled back," Ye Xiu said.
Luo Ji obeyed and quickly pulled back his four summoned beasts that had been sent to engage in melee combat.
"Keep the Ice Array cooldown, throw it out the moment his health turns red," Ye Xiu continued to arrange.
"Understood," Qiao Yifan obeyed.
"Steamed Bun, stop attacking." Ye Xiu was calculating Ji Lang's health. His Lord Grim was carrying Ji Lang's aggro, so he couldn't retreat in advance like Steamed Bun. So, he had to accurately calculate the moment Ji Lang's health dropped to 10% and escape. So, when Ji Lang's health reached a certain level, he naturally had to calculate the damage clearly to grasp the moment to escape.
"Old Wei, prepare Six-Star Light Bind."
"Does Xiaoqiang have any big moves? Save the Satellite Beam for the final blow," Ye Xiu continued to arrange.
"Okay." Wu Chen's rhythm had been good all along. When he looked at the skill bar, the Satellite Beam had cooled down.
"Get ready, everyone stay far away, spread out, don't stay together, be ready to use life-saving skills at any time. Little Cold Hands should look after himself first, then others," Ye Xiu made the final deployment. Ji Lang's health was decreasing and had entered the countdown.
"Everyone stop."
The scene instantly became deserted, leaving only Ji Lang still waving the spear in his hand and chasing after Lord Grim. This guy had three weapons on him, making everyone think he was one of those shameless Bosses who crossed three class systems. Everyone had been particularly wary of him possibly drawing a sword or suddenly firing a cold shot.
But nothing had happened all along. This sword and this gun seemed to be just decorations on this Boss.
"Xiaoqiang!" After everyone stopped, Ye Xiu immediately called out.
"Understood." Wu Chen was prepared, but because he had to coordinate with Lord Grim's dodge, he still had to wait for Ye Xiu to give him the signal. Hearing the instruction, he immediately took the prepared action. The sky seemed to flash a bright mirror, followed by the brightness getting bigger and bigger. A Satellite Beam descended from the sky, very accurately, directly enveloping Ji Lang.
Ice Soul Protection!
Six-Star Light Bind!
One Inch Ash's Ice Array and Windward Formation's control-type incantations were also chanted at this moment.
Ice circles rose from the ground, and tiny ice shards drilled towards the center of Ji Lang. Because of level suppression, all attacks would be greatly reduced in damage and effect. In addition, the Boss had some prominent resistances, and many skills would even become invalid. But, in the end, there would still be some leeway, otherwise, there would be no way to fight this Boss.
This vanguard Ji Lang was exceptionally brave in close combat, with powerful attacks and outstanding defense, but with a slightly weaker defense against magic. Whether it was the freezing magic effect or these control-type spells of the Warlock, he was still quite susceptible to them.
At this time, casting two such skills in a row was naturally also to buy time for Lord Grim to retreat.
Ye Xiu wouldn't be careless at this time. The moment he called out "Xiaoqiang," Lord Grim was already retreating, with a back jump plus back jump plus a Tank Cannon, plus a wave of attacks to limit Ji Lang while using Gun Fu techniques to fly backwards. Then he turned around and used a Shadow Clone Technique. Not satisfied, he rolled on the ground in succession while adjusting his view, looking towards Ji Lang, who had been thrown off by him.
Did I just hear something?
Ye Xiu wondered. Approximately when he began running and the Satellite Beam fell, there seemed to be a very crisp sound. He guessed it was the change caused by Ji Lang's health decreasing? When he turned his view back at this time, Ji Lang was still Ji Lang, but the spear in his hand was now broken. The pointed end fell to the ground. The crisp sound earlier was either the sound of breaking or landing. In short, it couldn't escape these two possibilities.
"This is..." While Ye Xiu was still wondering what this big move was, Ji Lang finally lived up to expectations and used the toy on his waist that everyone had regarded as an ornament.
With a furious roar, Ji Lang broke through the Six-Star Light Bind and rushed out, stepping on the ice shards on the ground. His movements were swift, even faster than before. The sword in his hand pointed straight towards Xiaoqiang.
Ye Xiu could roughly guess what Ji Lang's berserk state was.
Changing weapons was equivalent to changing classes. After his health turned red, Ji Lang's attack methods would be completely different from before.
His actions were swift, indicating a state of enhanced attributes. This type of enhanced berserk was the most common among Bosses with red health, especially some small Bosses who loved this simple and unsubtle berserk.
Then there was directly pointing at Wu Chen's Xiaoqiang. This was a reset of the previous aggro, which was specifically meant to torment the players and test their reaction abilities.
These three changes weren't anything new. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. Resetting aggro wasn't a big problem for a well-coordinated team. Wu Chen calmly backstepped and fired a cannon, attacking the opponent while having Xiaoqiang move towards Lord Grim. This was to bring the Boss back to Lord Grim.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the light of a sword flashed, and a straight line flew out at an extremely high speed.
The shells fired by Xiaoqiang exploded in the air, and Xiaoqiang himself sprayed blood all over his body. Ji Lang, at this time, had already smeared himself behind him.
