To put it bluntly, after completing this chain of specializations, every dwarf can use their heads as a weapon as if they have practiced the iron head skills in martial arts novels. It can be used with the dwarves' special 'Stone Helmet', which is even more powerful. However, it has less chance of heavy hits and can take heavy damage with the helmet itself, which is enough to greatly increase the user's chance of survival.

More importantly, though, once you've acquired the 'Armor Protector' perk, you'll be able to avoid the effects of some of the Bash perks' effects as long as you can transfer damage beforehand. The so-called Heavy Attack Specialty is a combat skill that some melee professionals acquire after stepping into the Black Iron Rank to inflict additional status on their victims through their Heavy Attack ability.

Don't underestimate this ability, although it is limited to enemies (it must be critical), the effects it produces once it is successfully charged are often more difficult to avoid than similar spells. And the effect is extremely comprehensive, almost can deal with most situations, let's give a few common examples in the Western Continent:

Bleeding Bash Hit: When the user inflicts a Bash with a Slash or Piercing weapon, the user's enemies take 2-12 Bleed damage per round after taking Bash damage. The wound will not stop until it has passed the medical skill test or magical healing. The effects of this feats stack.

Blinding Blith: The user's Bash will permanently blind the user's enemies. However, a successful Tenacity Waiver will reduce the blindness effect to Stunned, which lasts between 6 and 24 seconds. This feat: Does not work on creatures that do not rely on eyes or have more than two eyes (although multiple heavy hits may blind all eyes). Blindness can be cured by the 'Heal', 'Regeneration', 'Remove Blindness' spell, or similar abilities.

Deaf Bash Strike: Whenever the user successfully inflicts a Bash on an enemy, the creature permanently becomes deaf. Successfully passing the Tenacity Immunity reduces the deafness effect to 6 seconds. This feats are ineffective on deaf and non-hearing creatures. Deafness can be cured by 'healing', 'regeneration', 'deafness-removal' spells, or similar abilities.

Nausea Bash Hit: When inflicting a Bash Attack, the user's opponent is nauseous for 1 minute whenever the user deals a Bash Hit. The effects of this specialty are not exempt.

Trance Bumper: Whenever the user inflicts a Bash Hit, the user's opponent is in a trance for 12-30 seconds. A successful Tenacity Immunity reduces the duration to 6 seconds. The effects of this feat do not stack. The additional trigger is changed to extend the duration.

Shock Bash is an advanced specialty of Trance Bash that stuns the user's opponent for 6-24 seconds each time the user deals a Bash Attack. A successful Tenacity Immunity reduces this effect to a trance for 6-24 seconds. The effects of this feat do not stack. The additional trigger is changed to extend the duration.

Tired Bash Strike: Whenever the user successfully inflicts a Bash on an enemy, the creature is exhausted. This feats do not work on creatures that are tired or exhausted.

Exhausted Bash is an advanced specialty of Tired Bash that instantly exhausts the user when they successfully inflict a Bash on an enemy. This feats are ineffective on creatures that have been exhausted.

Don't look at the fact that many of these specialties only last for 30 seconds at most, but if you can survive for that long after falling into a negative state on the battlefield, it can only be said that God favors you. As for the case where the effect is started again within the duration of the state. That's extremely rare. After all, it is not an easy task to successfully hit the enemy's vital point every time on the chaotic battlefield!

Of course, this specialty is seen by many as being good at dealing with some stubborn enemies, but it is also a threat to the 'Dwarven Defenders' who have always had a lot of blood. As a defender, Anvil can learn the dwarve-exclusive chain of defense. Able to fight a lot against that series of heavy attack specializations. And in addition to the Warrior's Heavy Attack specialty, some of the Wanderer's poisons and the special abilities of some monsters also need to be triggered by Heavy Hits, which are also within the protection range of the 'Explosive Helmet Protector' specialty.

After hearing Barrett's story, Anvil realized that the racial expertise that he had originally regarded as useless was still so useful. It can actually tie down a large number of black lead rank warriors in the future. He touched his beard a little embarrassedly: "I really haven't paid attention to this specialty, but I think it's still too late to burn experience now." ”

"That's not your responsibility! After all, this chain of expertise is mostly aimed at the warrior abilities after the Black Lead rank. It's really easy to ignore what you didn't know before. "Speaking of which, Barrett excused the dwarves." And the 'Helmet Protector' specialty will not be able to be learned until you reach the Black Lead rank. Now it's actually not in a hurry. ”

Hearing this, Rielly finally couldn't help but ask, "Since you're not in a hurry, then Barrett, why are you mentioning this now?" Isn't that bunch of words just now a waste of saliva? ”

Seeing the mage's performance like this, even Lalu on the side couldn't help but pull the sleeve of his owner. Fortunately, Barrett didn't care about it. He said with a grimace, "Although we are not in a hurry to let the anvil learn them all, if the anvil has already learned the most basic iron head, we are not allowed to add a dwarven stone helmet made of pure gold to our weapon list." ”

That's right, a dwarven stone helmet made of pure gold. Despite its name as a monolith, this piece of equipment is made of metal instead of stone. This means that it can be made of special materials just like metal weapons. For dwarves who want to use the 'Explosive Armor' series, the stronger the armor above their heads, the better. Therefore, the choice of pure gold products has become an inevitable result.

"A purpose-built Adamantite Horned Helmet? That's a sum of at least a thousand gold coins! "Claymatis. As the pastor of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business,' Bot is extremely sensitive to this aspect.

"As the saying goes, don't make a mistake in cutting wood! A good piece of equipment can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of your companions. Barrett paused, "And I don't think the anvil has a few decent oddities on it right now!" In terms of equipment level, there is a small gap between him and us! This area may need to be filled as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, the dwarf naturally lowered his head, he understood that he had been in the second team for a long time. In this regard, there must be a slight gap with a pair. However, when he also observed his companions in the house, he also noticed that after Barrett made this suggestion, the remaining companions did not look very good except for noodles.

This made the dwarf's heart chuckle for no reason, and at the same time, it was like a basin of cold water had been poured on it. But I know I'm new to it now. Despite the friendship and noodle support from before, if it aroused the hostility of several other companions, it would definitely not be easy to live the rest of the day, especially if those companions were rare spellcasters among the players. During this period of time in the second team, it can be said that he saw for the first time what is called warmth and coldness (relatively speaking, the estrangement and distance between people in reality. This is the case at the beginning, but it has little effect on people's emotions).

It was precisely because he thought he recognized this that he made a playful look and said, "It's okay! Never mind! I still have this gear that I can use. There are no special needs at the moment. ”

"You can't say that! If we are capable, we naturally cannot let our companions suffer in this regard. Speaking of this, Barrett's expression became a lot more serious. And more importantly. Anvil, you don't realize, we need to face a different enemy than you do on Mario's team. Take your current outfit as an example. It's going to be a lot of work to deal with. ”

"Barrett, I agree with you! If we could, we would like to give our new companions a nice outfit. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot stroked his hair. "But our team's current financial situation is not good! And there are no curiosities on hand suitable for dwarves. ”

Then Rielie hurriedly opened her mouth: "And I'm afraid this is Barrett's own responsibility!" The rewards you have chosen these few times are all kinds of strange things, and there is no suitable type for dwarves in them. ”

"I didn't think about it, after all, we didn't know Mario was coming to Ulrike so soon!" Now it was Barrett's turn to be a little embarrassed. However, in a blink of an eye, he proposed a feasible solution: "Although the team's funds are tight now, it depends on our previous deposits. You can still get the funds to order a set of full-body armor! ”

The game's full-body armor is made up of pieces of iron made according to the curves of the body, connected by rivets and hooks. It covers the entire body of the user and comes with iron gloves, heavy leather boots, and a helmet that covers the face, as well as a set of inner linings. At the same time, this armor distributes its weight evenly throughout the body with a belt and hook, so it is easier to move than a slatted armor even though it is heavier than a slatted armor. However, in order to achieve both of the above, full-body armor often has to be tailor-made by master craftsmen - as for those obtained through looting or other means. It is also tailor-made and equally expensive.

"Let me do the math, it will cost about 1,500 gold coins to order a set of full-body armor. If we can provide basic armor for modification, it will cost between 200 and 800 gold. If you add the special requirements of the dwarves, this expense is indispensable. "Clematis who said this. Bot began his own computational work. In the end, he nodded: "The balance and gems we have on hand are enough to pay, but the way is up to Barrett." ”

Even with enough funds, full-body armor is not something you can have. Master craftsmen who can customize or modify it are often not impressed by money alone. And the players don't have enough money to break through the opponent's psychological defenses. In this case, doors and channels are extremely important.

"Don't worry! In this regard, I will find a suitable person through the channels of the Boreham family. The anvil's dwarven status is also a favorable factor in this regard, after all, there are quite a few dwarves among the master armor craftsmen in 'Ulrik'. At this point, Barrett patted his chest.

Look at the arrangement of these teams in front of you. Anvil's heart is really mixed! This is not only the obvious difference in treatment compared to the previous time under Mario, but more importantly, the attitude of his teammates towards him is obviously much better.

That's when Noodle whispered on his old friend's shoulder, "You deserve it." After all, you'll be the shield on our team next. ”

"Noodles are right! In the future of the team's system, you will be an important pillar in defense. If you can't resist it because of your equipment, the two casters in the back row are in trouble. At this point, Barrett touched his chin. As a meat shield, your most important attribute should be your physique. So this physique belt on my body, why don't I use it for you first! ”

"Wait! Barrett, don't you need that strange thing? You were so happy when you first got it! Rieli on the side suddenly asked.

Barrett did not waver in the mage's words: "This time and that time! Originally, I had to hold up the team's defenses, and sometimes I naturally had to resist the enemy's attacks. Therefore, the physique at that time was naturally more important. But now that we have a dedicated MT called the anvil, I naturally choose to resist a lot less often. Relatively speaking, he needed this strange thing more. ”

Of course, that being said. But it is not possible for Barrett to remove the belt from the dwarves on the spot, as in some novels - after all, the constitution belt also serves as Barrett's belt. If it was lifted in front of so many people, then Barrett would probably have to talk at the waist of his pants.

"In that case, I don't have a problem with that." Rielly nodded.

At the same time, the cat boy also made a rare statement: "In this way, the combat power of the anvil is basically formed!" We can wait until we have a chance to fill in the rest of the equipment. ”

"I'm really embarrassed! We're afraid we won't be able to get our hands on some of your current equipment for a while! Barrett scratched his head and said to the dwarf of Mi Ah Nian.

The dwarf shook his head repeatedly: "Don't! Other! Other! I'm embarrassed to get so many benefits without doing anything! (To be continued.) )
