Chapter 23: The Skeleton Mage
The two skeleton mages were the first to strike, two fireballs burning with crimson flames roaring and slamming into the blood-colored firmament at the forefront.
"Boom!" The explosive flames engulfed half of the blood-colored firmament, and two bright red numbers floated one after the other.
-82,-83
The blood-colored firmament with all the points added has a very good performance in resisting physical attacks, but it is a little weak in the face of magic attacks, and it is directly blasted off nearly half of its HP.
The black moonlight and the silver moonlight were not slow to react, and two white lights lit up on the blood-colored firmament one after another, which was the priest's initial spell-healing.
+34,+30
Healing LV1: Cast on an allied target, restore 10+0.8*Spell Power HP, mana cost: 8, cooldown: 5s.
"Withdraw!" The Scarlet Sky shouted as he quickly poured himself a bottle of potion.
There was no need for more contact, just looking at the damage, it was clear that they could definitely not be the opponent of these four monsters, or these two skeleton mages.
The people present were not ordinary players, and they also made a decision to withdraw immediately.
Although the Skeleton Mage and the Angry Zombie are both known for their short legs, their movement speed is still slightly better than that of Scarlet Sky and Leng Shao, so before they successfully escape from the opponent's pursuit range, they still can't help but eat a few attacks, almost almost losing their numbers.
"I made a mistake, I didn't expect that it was a spell caster like a skeleton mage who was guarding the deepest part, it seems that we can only stop here." There was a disappointment in the tone of the bloody firmament.
finally came to the last step, but in the end he was forced to give up because of his lack of strength, and it was difficult not to be depressed.
"Why? It's not an enemy that can't be solved, as long as we go back and level up. Ling Yu was a little unconvinced.
Scarlet Sky shook his head: "It's useless, the amount of damage and recovery are not at the same level at all, and if you only upgrade by one level, you can't make up for it at all." ”
When he ran away just now, he roughly estimated the frequency of the other party's attacks. Two skeleton mages can release a large fireball in an average of two seconds. In other words, without considering zombies, the second damage of the two skeleton mages is around 82 points.
On the contrary, the Priest's healing amount is 12 points per second, and even if you add drugs, the recovery amount per second is only 17 points, which is far less than the output of the opponent.
Of course, due to the potions' potion resistance and cooldown, the actual recovery amount is actually less than 17 points.
On the attack side, their main output Ling Yu can only cause more than 20 points of damage per attack because of his relative restraint. Not to mention Leng Yunfei, as one of the weakest classes in the early stage, the mage's small fireball is estimated to only be able to deal about 20 points of damage at most when facing a skeleton mage with super high magic defense.
And the cooldown time of the small fireball is four seconds, which means that his second damage is only about 5 points. Others are even worse, and they can probably only deal single-digit damage.
Even in the best of cases, it would take them at least 10 seconds or so to finish off a skeleton mage. During this time, the Skeleton Mage can deal more than 800 damage to them, which is enough damage to kill any of them.
"Yes, just take turns fighting damage. I've observed that these undead are not self-conscious, they will only attack the life target closest to them, and they can completely switch positions to achieve take turns to resist damage. ”
"Do you want to say that the black moonlight and the silver moonlight with higher magic resistance alternately resist damage? It's useless, their magic resistance is indeed higher than mine, but the height is limited, and the skeleton mage also has more than 60 damage to them, and it only takes one salvo to kill them in seconds. ”
"It can't be lost in seconds, the ninth-level priest's physique has 7 points, counting the amount of growth blood, the health value has a total of 135 points, and it just can't be killed in seconds." Ling Yu had obviously done his homework, and he could be said to be well aware of the attribute growth, skills, and so on of all professions.
The Scarlet Sky also mentally calculated for a while, and found that the joint attack of the two skeleton mages seemed to be just right to kill the priest who had been promoted to the ninth level, but after eating a round of damage, their blood volume would only be in the single digits.
"So what, even if Black Moonlight and I can take turns fighting each other's damage, but what about after one round of resistance? The significance of taking turns to resist damage is that when others resist damage, we can let the rest of the people take medicine to recover, but the problem is that our total recovery is too different from the opponent's output, even if we keep taking medicinal treatment for a moment, it is impossible to bring everyone's blood back, and we will be killed by the second round of attacks. ”
Regardless of the situation of zombies, black moonlight and silver moonlight can each resist one round of damage, while he himself can resist two rounds of damage, which adds up to four rounds of attacks, that is, eight seconds.
They can use a total of one healing spell for eight seconds, and each of them takes a bottle of medicine (the small recovery potion has a cooldown of 10 seconds), and the combined amount of recovery does not restore a person's health to the point where they can survive the next attack.
In other words, during the fifth round of attacks by the Skeleton Mage, they must have lost one member.
"It's simple, just retreat after three rounds of damage."
The Scarlet Sky laughed angrily: "I said you, didn't you find that the speed of the monster is faster than ours, in this case, do you think we can retreat smoothly without bearing a single attack?" ”
"I see that the undead are a little bit faster than us...... That's it. As long as we level up and add that bit of stat to agility, then we can surpass the skeleton mage and zombies faster. ”
The bloody sky was stunned.
Ignoring everyone's surprised expressions, Ling Yu continued to recount his plan: "Our potion reserves are actually quite abundant, but it takes time for these potions to take effect, so we can't deal with the skeleton mage. On the other hand, as long as these potions work, the total amount of recovery is actually higher than the output of the Skeleton Mage. ”
"Since it takes time for the potion to work, we can just make the battle longer. If you can't solve the opponent in one battle, then it's good to divide it into multiple battles. After all, those undead have no means of recovering blood, and the blood is dropped. ”
The blood-colored sky opened its mouth wide and looked at Ling Yu with an expression of looking at a monster. He now understood why the other party was able to make such a feat as risking everything to find the dwarven tribe in the early days. This extraordinary courage and ability to observe in detail beyond ordinary people is indeed beyond the ability of ordinary people.
In terms of the plan itself, it is not surprising, and similar tactics have been used several times in the past.
Cannibalization tactics, this is the general term for this type of tactic for those professional gamers.
By taking advantage of the boss's lack of recovery means, a battle that is impossible to win is divided into several parts, and the boss's health is eaten away little by little.
There are many people who know this tactic, but the Scarlet Sky is certain, and there is no second person in the world who would think of using this tactic to deal with the skeleton mage. Because in the thinking mode of ordinary people,Only the boss has the value of being divided.,If the monster can fight, he will fight.,If you can't beat it, you will be promoted to a lower level.,Or find a few more helpers.,I can't think of this kind of half-way retreat.,Wait for the recovery to continue to fight.。
This kind of out-of-the-box thinking is the most shocking thing.
However, this was not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing was that Ling Yu realized this in less than half a minute, and he thought of it in the process of being hunted down.
Whether it's to quickly determine that a Skeleton Mage's Focused Fire Attack won't kill a priest in seconds by the damage it does to the Scarlet Firmament, or to calculate from the speed of the chase that you can surpass the Skeleton Mage and Zombies in speed by adding the points of upgrade to agility, it is impossible to do so without careful insight.
