Speaking of SOLO, the most recognized authoritative game hero in the entire Dota circle is probably Shadow Fiend.

Although it is not that there are no other heroes SOLO, whether it is from the so-called inheritance, or the requirements of technical tactics, the hero of Shadow Demon is still the first choice for the majority of Dota players to prove themselves in solo.

Out of politeness, Lang Guangnan still asked Lu Xinlei what hero Solo wanted to use in this friendly match, and the answer was almost the usual shadow demon.

Although Lang Guangnan has spent almost his entire Dota 2 career in the No. 4 position, he debuted as a mid-laner in the Dota 1 era, which many players who are not very old players do not know very well.

But these players do not include Lu Xinlei, who is more familiar with Lang Guangnan in a strange direction, and she certainly knows that the man in front of her was once revered as the destroyer of the middle of the street on Jinshan Avenue.

He, and the man, to be precise, both transitioned from other games to become Dota players, and this respect should still be given.

Although this was more than ten years ago, this does not show how much the ability of the man in front of him has degraded - Lu Xinlei has not had much opportunity to review the recording of the vast Capital League in this world in the past half a year, and it is already the limit to follow the introduction of the official commentary in her spare time to review the Ti process on this world line.

After all, we can't take it lightly......

That's right, not to be taken lightly.

The man said that her name was not among the "ordinary people" who might have played erratically against first-team players, but his worries were completely unnecessary, and the girl didn't panic too much because she was sitting in front of a former Ti champion, CNdota's probably most prestigious veteran.

In fact, on the contrary, if she does not remind herself not to take it lightly, the girl feels that she may inevitably fall into a situation of underestimation.

- I know you're Lang Guangnan, who are you scaring about?

This sense of nostalgia that had traveled through time and space made her have little reverence for the man in front of her who was completely meritorious in this world, and in her mind, from that man's impression, such games were already numerous in their teenage years.

But now things are different, she told herself.

Now this man already needs to challenge himself, and he must challenge.

The game has begun, the familiar mid lane one-to-one mode, the heroes of both sides choose the same shadow demon, and in the long preparation time before sending out the army, the heroes manipulated by two people who have nothing to do come to the middle lane and stand across the river.

If it weren't for the fact that they knew that this was a solo game with the same hero, maybe some viewers who didn't know much about the game would think that this was a mid-lane match between two different heroes: Lu Xinlei's Shadow Demon used the basic modeling that came with the game, without any additional accessories, and on the other side of the river, Lang Guangnan's Shadow Demon was surrounded by blazing flames.

Most of the heroes in Dota can be matched with their favorite hero styles according to the parts of the accessories, and most of these accessories, whether they are complete sets or split into parts, can be traded or gifted.

Lang Guangnan, who has been in the professional circle for more than ten years, is not difficult to match the top accessories on the hero of Shadow Demon.

However, this set of self-made bug ornaments full of particle light effects is still a little mentally polluted, Lu Xinlei hesitated, but still opened the game's settings panel to adjust the game's image quality to the lowest.

Twenty seconds later, as the minions of both sides refreshed on their respective high grounds, the solo match officially began.

——————————————

For the two support players who followed him after Lang Guangnan came to the opposite side of the girl, this solo viewing experience was not very good.

It's very rare for a single solo in Shadow Demon to be able to produce a complete shoe, and the two people facing each other in this game even have the leisure to upgrade the shoes into prosthetic legs.

Mid lane laners are not allowed to jungle and control, but with the economy of the mid lane alone, the equipment of the two has gradually become more eyebrow-raising. It's not that they're stacking a few straps and making a magic wand, but they're already ticking off pieces of gear in the pre-order box.

Although I can't see Lang Guangnan's pre-order column, the equipment column that hasn't been updated for a long time also shows that the other party is quietly making some high-value equipment; And Lu Xinlei ticked out the full price of 2725 in the pre-order column, and being able to have the leisure to hook up such equipment in solo can only be regarded as a long time to see.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Shadow Demons on both sides adhere to each other's principle of "as long as I don't take the initiative to attack, there will be no mistakes", which is the best choice for complete utilitarianism, and in the case that the Shadow Demons on both sides have no major mistakes, the side that takes the initiative to do it is bound to take a greater risk.

In some so-called "regular" solos, the motivation to support the player's active attack is not only the opponent's misposition, but also the momentum of wanting to win the game.

Although the momentum alone can make the scene look good, it is difficult to win the game that should be won after all...... But no matter what, the way these two people go back to the tower after pressing the three shadow pressures is really a bit too boring.

It's not that they didn't try to consume each other's state to force each other to consume more economy on supplies, but after a few back and forth tests of the first three levels, the two of them almost simultaneously found that such an attempt was a complete waste of their own state.

Shadow Fiend's Shadow of Destruction is only a normal damage skill if it does not stack damage, and the duration of Shadow of Destruction's stacked damage effect is shorter than the cooldown of a single skill.

They can all use precise skill release to make their first shadow pressure hit each other, but then the opponent will move at the distance where the shadow pressure in this CD takes effect, and will never give themselves the opportunity to stack higher damage.

On the scene, it seems that the shadow demons of the two people are dancing around the river in the middle of the road, keeping a certain distance and dancing in an unsightly way, but the result is quite useful, before the first piece of 2000 level equipment on both sides leaves the factory, they can't help anyone for the time being.

In fact, Lu Xinlei and even Lang Guangnan didn't think about simply selling a flaw and rushing straight to end the game, but they are used to seeing intrigue and fist-to-flesh solo, and this kind of "line" fight is actually quite interesting.

If you only consider the economy and wages of small creeps on the line, the hero who monopolizes a single lane should have more than 4,000 economy in ten minutes, and although both sides have consumed a certain amount of economy on supplies, it is still normal to put forward the large items they want in about twelve minutes.

Blowing Wind is a prop that fits well with Shadow Fiend's own ultimate. Shadow Fiend's Elegy for the Great Conjuring allows Shadow Fiend to unleash several blasts of damage in the center of his circle based on the number of souls he passively collects after a short period of time before casting a spell.

Because enemies with multiple impacts will take extra damage, the ideal environment for this skill is to release it close to the face, which is really difficult for Shadow Fiend who relies on distance to output, but the high damage cap of this skill also makes it a worthwhile adventure to use some other means to release the skill closely.

Hair dryer is a prop that has such a function.

In order to ensure that there are no problems with the lane, the girl did not hide the accessories when synthesizing these medium pieces of equipment, which means that her equipment selection can be said to be an open card for the other party. And after proposing the corresponding equipment, it is imperative to fight each other.

At the same time that Lu Xinlei received the last part of her divine staff, the other party's messenger also brought the equipment that the other party was making, but Lang Guangnan deliberately retreated, and received his complete body equipment outside the other party's field of vision, and then completely disappeared in the middle of the field of vision.

Some trouble, but not a big deal.

Lu Xinlei changed her previous policy of pushing the line and leaving, did not use skills to advance the line, and did not return to the defense tower after the opponent's minions were exhausted, during this period, the opponent's shadow demon did not move, as if disappearing on the map.

"Maybe it's a hidden knife."

Although Shadow Fiend has an aura that reduces the armor of all enemies within range, he does not have to worry about the aura's effect revealing himself while he is invisible: although the aura's debuff will still appear in the opponent's status bar from the perspective of Shadow Fiend and his teammates, if the opponent does not have Shadow Fiend's vision, the passive will not actually work, or be detected by them.

However, in order to prevent the equipment that the other party has been hiding in the messenger is a hidden knife that can make the hero invisible, Lu Xinlei also bought a real eye and shipped it with the last scroll of the blowing wind.

The great thing about the Holy Staff is that it is also an excellent control and self-protection piece in its own right, and the 2.5 second of invincibility combined with the forced interruption before that can be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield when used properly.

Normally speaking, the restraint of the Blowing Shadow Demon on the Hidden Knife Shadow Demon is obvious, the blowing is a stable first move with an offensive nature, and the Hidden Knife can only wait for the other party to take over, in the case of a single line in the middle - now this situation is no longer a solo - the function attached to the blowing is enough to do a lot of actions that the hidden knife can't imagine.

To put it simply, now Lu Xinlei can wait for the opponent's shadow demon to start shaking and then directly start the wind blowing to interrupt the opponent's movements, and in the time when the wind is sluggish, she can release her ultimate move at the bottom of the whirlwind very comfortably, which can almost be said to be invincible.

In fact, Lang Guangnan himself thought that this situation was completely unsuitable for the Hidden Knife, and in fact, when he mentioned the new equipment, he walked around in the shadows of the trees, waiting for his opportunity.

Lu Xinlei, who has the wind, is no longer tied up and pushes the line on the line, she followed her own soldiers to the opponent's high ground with great fanfare after clearing the opponent's line, and then inserted her true eye directly on the opponent's high ground, the field of vision laid out in this position can cover the scope of the opponent's main activities, and the suddenness of the hidden knife equipment is impossible to talk about.

But the shadow demon manipulated by the other man's man walked from the river path to the high ground on the girl's side.

didn't turn on the initiative of any equipment.,Just walked from the blind spot of the field of vision to the other party's high ground.,Although this kind of movement is a bit unusual.,But it doesn't interfere with the girl's conception.。

Especially when she saw that the other party's full-body video added up to the shadow demon who could probably buy her on the pound and began to unleash the ultimate move on her own high ground.

Probably prepare to use the fear effect of the ultimate to push yourself into the tower. The girl thought about it for a moment and thought it was indeed possible, but when she clicked on the other party's equipment, she was really shocked.

The equipment that Lang Guangnan synthesized with a broadsword was not the hidden knife she expected, but a blade armor:

When activated, it can reciprocate all damage taken by the self to the defensive equipment that caused the damage.

Lu Xinlei, who was already preparing to take the initiative to release the divine staff on the other party, paused for a moment, the original plan needed to be completely reversed and restarted.

The blade armor can reflect all the damage, and the value of the rebound is calculated according to the theoretical value caused by the opponent, that is, the value before calculating the double resistance of the opponent, so when attacking the hero who opened the blade armor, it is easy to have an embarrassing situation that the damage caused by itself has not received more damage.

The other party also obviously intended to put the girl in such an embarrassment, and along with the full-price 2000 blade armor, there was also a magic resistance cloak that provided 15% magic resistance, plus the attack power and armor provided by the blade armor itself, Lu Xinlei, who did not dare to blow the wind and receive the big move, had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

This may be the EUL's Holy Staff, the only drawback of the Wind Blow, for Shadow Fiend, as it provides much-needed perks such as mana regeneration and movement speed, as well as a multi-purpose powerful active, but does not provide any attributes that can increase the output of the stake.

With no armor and no attack power, for agile heroes, the intelligence provided by the blow can only be converted into blue amount and blue return.

It has to be acknowledged.

It is indeed uncomfortable to take it for granted that the easy-to-use open-card blow is disposed of in this way, but this does not mean that you must throw in the towel if you have tasted the bitter fruit tactically. The girl bit her lip, and the nervous feeling returned to her consciousness again.

Lang Guangnan's Shadow Demon simply canceled his ultimate when he saw that the other party realized the blade armor on his body and gave up the first move positioning - not to give up the attempt to finish the game here, but to start the forward swing of the ultimate again after taking a few steps forward.

Shadow Fiend's ultimate cast delay is technically a 1.6 second cast preswing, and terminating or interrupting the ability during the preswing will not cause the ultimate to go on cooldown, so he can now press the opponent to make a choice step by step.

And the girl's choice was also very simple, after giving in again, she seized the opportunity to go straight down the high ground, and began to unleash her ultimate move almost at the same time as the place that was close to the opponent's Shadow Demon but still had a little leeway.

Lang Guangnan almost immediately understood what the other party was going to do - the blow wind can be used on herself to gain a period of invincibility, this invincible time, the hero will not be affected by most of the damage, she wants to bet that she can unleash her ultimate, the man's blade armor opens and begins to bounce off the damage before she blows herself up to avoid damage.

However, there is a simplest solution to this kind of gamble, the man can cancel his ultimate when there is still a little time to do so, wait for the opponent's ultimate to start, and when he has to blow himself, and then go to the opponent's position to shake his ultimate - this is the optimal solution.

But the girl was very clever to open her ultimate after he turned on the pre-reading ultimate, Lang Guangnan also saw this from the status bar of the heroes on both sides, the completion of the opponent's ultimate move will be a split second later than her own, this should also be to prevent herself from doing this, she has to pull herself to fight with her.

The idea is good, but what about the implementation?

Lang Guangnan was unmoved, he knew that he was in the initiative in the current game, he just needed to open the blade armor as soon as the ultimate move was released.

1.6 seconds is enough time for a person to react to a lot of things, but after all, it is fleeting, and after the ultimate of both sides explodes at the same time with a slight delay, only one Shadow Demon on the field who has opened the blade armor is affected by the fear effect of the opponent's ultimate and runs to the side.

And another Shadow Fiend was blown up in the air, its health bar unscathed.

Lang Guangnan smiled and shook his head, he had already been beaten in vain in the first wave of blood exchange, he had actually lost the capital to continue fighting - while the other party's shadow demon was still in the air, he could indeed escape from the battlefield, but this would inevitably be too boring.

So he simply knocked out GG, although he had a slight advantage in the tactical game, but in the final operation of the competition, he still had to succumb to the genius of the other party.

"Okay, that's it." He didn't look at the base of his explosion on the screen, took off his headphones and stood up: "Akiko, do you have any questions?" ”
