Chapter 7: Making a Living (5)
First of all, it is the player Ouyang Chuang (ID: Zhu Wen) who serves as the "gun" in the system, and the player Gao Pinghai (ID: Wang Xianzhi) who serves as the "stick" in the system, and the weapon used by the role of Wang Xianzhi is not a stick in the traditional system, but a long knife.
In the old system, the reason why guns and sticks are used to cooperate is that guns and sticks are long-handled weapons, and they have different skills at the same time, and when they are combined, it is difficult for the opponent to deal with, which is better than the effect of "double guns" or "double sticks".
The long knife is about the same length as a spear stick, and it is not as dexterous as a stick, but it has a higher output. The change in the system from "stick" to "long knife" is very obvious.
Because this makes the player who is responsible for centering and blocking the path of the weapons of both sides much higher when cracking the system. The damage of the long knife and the skills attached to it is far from comparable to that of a stick, and even if it is blocked, the opponent will lose a lot of life.
Therefore, although the long knife is relatively cumbersome, making it not as effective as a stick in chasing and slashing the opponent's back row and cooperating with the gun, it solves the problem of killing this system, so even if it is taken out this season, although it is not as invincible as the old system when it first came out, it is also difficult for many teams to deal with.
Changing the "stick" to "long knife" is just one of the optimizations of the system by the September 8 team, and another key optimization is that the players in the back row in the original system have made the role of the "tool man" in the back row both offensive and defensive with their superior personal strength, and this person is their captain Fu Guang (ID Huang Chao).
The character of Huang Chao uses a relatively rare weapon - the halberd. In the Title League, there are pros and cons to this rare weapon. There are few players and players who use it, so naturally everyone's attention to this weapon will not be very high, and at the same time, because of the few battles, the experience of dealing with this weapon will be insufficient, so unpopular weapons often have a surprising winning effect.
And its disadvantage is precisely because there are fewer people playing, so there will be fewer skills and routines that have been developed. In addition to their own research, there are not many experiences that users can refer to and learn from.
When the game is planned before the open beta, it will do relatively more skills for popular weapons in the test and relatively less skills for unpopular weapons.
For example, the popular weapon sword, according to official statistics, has been discovered at this stage a total of 211 kinds of skills including undisclosed access methods, and the halberd has only 32 types.
Of course, although these 211 skills have their own uses, most of them are not used in the game, and it is impossible to release more than 200 skills in a game. So, even if a character only has a dozen skills, it is enough for someone who can use them proficiently.
As mentioned before, in the old system, the players in the back row generally used weapons such as "shields" that were more defensive and conducive to fighting with the opponent, and the halberd also met such conditions.
First of all, although the halberd is a one-handed weapon, Huang Chao holds one in one hand and becomes a "double halberd" player. The halberd is difficult to use, and is called the "throwing knife of melee weapons".
The reason is simple, the halberd is not as aggressive as a regular short soldier, but it can jam other weapons through the gap between the tip and the crescent-shaped blade. So this is a weapon that is quite difficult to use, but has both offense and defense.
And Huang Chao's skillful use of the halberd is the reason for the high ceiling of the September 8th team. Because he can not only resist the opponent's surprise attack on his own back row, but also wait for the opportunity to fight back. And if the opponent adopts the strategy of "5 packs of 2" to solve his own charging players first, he can also go to support as soon as possible, which can play a greater role than other defensive weapons.
Although I saw the strengths of the improved system based on my understanding of the game, like most teams, I couldn't think of any good countermeasures. I had no choice but to look at the reference answer.
I clicked on the video of Your Excellency's team defeating the September 8th team the day before yesterday.
However, halfway through the video, I was already black. Your Excellency's team is not reasonable at all, they are under the leadership of the lights, completely relying on hard power to crush the opponent, without any clever tactics or countermeasures at all.
The September 8th team saw that the tide was turning, but they still fought hard, and I heard some of the team's voices in the video publicly
Huang Chao: "Xiao Gao, can you drag the lights again?" ”
Wang Xianzhi: "Alas, I can't hold it back, it's too strong." ”
Huang Chao: "Try again, if we can't beat this time, we'll have a holiday." ”
Xie Tong (the archer in the team): "It's okay to have a holiday, I won't get the bonus anyway, Xiao Gao can also go to see his father early." ”
Zhu Wen: "The game is not over yet. ”
Xie Tong: "Heh, I'll catch a fish and test which of you wants to retreat, anyway, I still have a unique job to keep." ”
Wang Xianzhi: "Don't hide it, your 'Yuxiang Arrow' should be used quickly, and there will be no more opportunities." ”
Li Keyong (crossbowman in the team): "Don't give up easily if the blood bar hasn't fallen out, if you don't have money, you don't have money, Xiao Gao, don't panic, when the winter turns, let's do a few odd jobs to treat your father." ”
Zhu Wen (fell to the ground with residual blood): "Alas...... Your Excellency is indeed fierce. ”
Huang Chao: "Let's fight until the last moment, we have to be worthy of the fans." ”
The other four: "Hmm! ”
……
The tactics are advanced and the style of work is tenacious. After watching the footage, I was even more excited about the upcoming match, and I wondered which of the five players I would have the privilege of playing against. I rubbed my hands excitedly.
The answer was soon revealed, and ten minutes before the expected start of the battle, the system informed me that the captain Fu Guang (Huang Chao) and the crossbowman Miao Xuan (Li Keyong) who would be fighting against me and my senior sister were the captain.
In order to provide a good gaming experience for the players who participated in this event, the arena uses public chat when playing against professional players, which means that even opponents can use voice during the competition.
I exchanged experiences with my sister about watching the video, and her feelings and judgments were similar to mine. In terms of game understanding, there won't be much difference between the same masters. We briefly discussed our tactics for a while, and then entered the arena with a little trepidation.
As soon as we entered the arena, before we could see the situation clearly, we heard someone politely say:
"Thank you both for your support of this event."
I recognized the voice as Captain Huang Chao.
In the 26 games of this face-to-face exchange event, the members of the September 8 team used this way to express their gratitude to the players who supported them through the difficult situation before the game began.
