Chapter 682: A Completely Refreshed Team
A new day.
Last night's carnival passed, and Hu Siming's team calmed down a little from the joy of the two of them succeeding in the graduate school entrance examination. Although you can breathe a sigh of relief after the success of the graduate school entrance examination, it does not mean that you can completely relax after all. Moreover, after becoming a hero, the battle mode and skills are completely different from before, coupled with the skyrocketing attributes, Yan Shaoou and Shi Niu need to spend a lot of time to familiarize themselves.
The team battles after the heroes also need to be re-run-in.
Considering that two days later it was the first unified examination of the junior year, and it was the first battle after the two became heroes, so the whole team attached great importance to this unified examination. Not only did the four of them take time out to practice, but even Yu Gaowu suspended the hunt and fought side by side with Hu Siming and the four of them.
Of course, at this stage, he is mainly responsible for providing the bloody revenge mark, and the rest is self-preservation. As long as you can mark and ensure that you don't die, Yu Gaowu's performance can be given ten points, and nothing else is required.
Although Hu Siming was already very familiar with warlocks in the compulsory courses, the battles in the academy were different from the compulsory courses after all, and there were many more variables. Due to the previous tacit understanding, after a day of running-in, the team has begun to take shape. Although there is still a long way to go from the perfect combo, and it will take a lot of battles or even months or years, Hu Siming's ideal team battle has already had a bit of a shadow.
During this period, there were Yan Shaoou, and Hu Siming and the others also understood the skills of warlocks more and more. Unlike the Elder Titan of Shi Niu, the Warlock's skills are very simple and straightforward.
Deadly Links, Whispers, Upheaval, Rain of Chaos!
The first skill is the core skill of the Warlock to amplify the output of the team, and it is an ability comparable to Shi Niu's natural order aura and Yu Gaowu's bloody mark.
When topped up, it can link up to six enemies together. When one enemy is attacked, the other five will take 25% of the corresponding damage. This means that if the Fatal Link effect is used perfectly, the damage of the entire team will be increased to 225%!
Deal 100 HP of damage to an enemy, and all six linked people will lose a total of 225 HP......
This ability to amplify damage, combined with Shi Niu's aura of natural order, Yu Gaowu's bloody revenge, plus Hu Siming's flame manipulation talent and Shadowless Fist...... Ideally, a whole team of the enemy in seconds is a matter of a knife!
As for the second skill Secret Words, it is somewhat similar to Hu Siming's Sword of Proverbs special effects.
Of course, the effect of this hero's skill is much stronger than the latter. Overall, it's a very flexible single spell that can heal allies and damage enemies for up to 11 seconds with a cooldown of just 16 seconds. At max level, the healing/damage effect is up to 45 points/second!
This skill, which has a long duration and a short cooldown, is very effective. It can make up for the team's lack of treatment, and it can also be used to save people at critical moments.
With Hu Siming here, Yan Shaoou's secret speech technique will be used more for healing, and if it hurts, it won't be needed much.
Warlock's third skill, Upheaval, is a wide-ranging slowing skill. Through the flow of magical power, it creates a deceleration of air that cannot be resisted by human beings. It's one of the most perverted slow abilities in the whole of Dota, along with Call the Invoker's Wall of Ice, and its range far exceeds the latter. When the effect is maximized, it can slow enemies in a radius of up to 600 by 84%! Even if the effect of the skill ends or is interrupted, the slow still lasts for 3 seconds!
The 84% deceleration is really perverted.
Ordinary slowdown skills, at most, are 20%-30%. Individual powerful slowdown skills, the effect can be increased to about 40%, which is already very powerful. Even if there is a bonus to high-level accessories, it will generally not be reduced by more than half. But the upheaval skill is a long-lasting, over-range, up to 84% slowdown!
It is really not an exaggeration to describe the enemy inside as faltering and difficult to move an inch.
However, this skill has one of its most fatal weaknesses, and that is that it requires continuous casting. And in the academy, the heroes have far more means of interrupting than in the compulsory courses. In the vast majority of cases, Warlock's upheaval is difficult to unleash to perfection. However, the effect of this skill takes time to brew, and the slowdown effect is not so strong at first, and it takes a few seconds to reach the most perverted 84%.
Just like the consideration of Shi Niu by Echo Heavy Trampling and Ground Splitting Ultimate, how to exert the power of drastic changes is also a difficult problem that Yan Shaoou needs to face.
The above three small skills are quite practical for warlocks. But the Warlock's ultimate move, Rain of Chaos, is more important than the Elder Titan's ultimate. This powerful skill can summon a powerful Hellfire. Descends from the sky, stunning enemies in a large area for up to 1 second, ignoring Magic Immunity. Hellfire has the skills that heroes dream of, and are exclusive to the Golden Lord of the New World - Resistance Skin, in addition to the two skills of Fist of Flame and Permanent Sacrifice, which is very powerful!
In the required course, if the Warlock's ultimate move is done well, it can often determine the victory or defeat of a team fight. In particular, the vertigo that has a large range and ignores the magic immunity has a strong field control effect. However, in the Academy, due to the stronger heroes, the Golem's lethality is acceptable in the early and middle stages, and can be quite weak in the late stages.
Fortunately, it's not that there are no solutions.
The Scepter upgrade allows the Warlock to have two Hellfires. The Legendary-level exclusive Accessory Set, which is above the rare-level accessories, can summon three Hellfires at a time on the basis of the Scepter, and the combat effectiveness has also been greatly enhanced. Combined with the refresh, the Warlock can gain two seconds of control and a total of 6 Super Hellfires!
The lethality of such a warlock is extremely terrifying.
If there is no other situation, the future growth route of Shaoou is the same. However, the ruins of the Fire Blade Tribe that he accidentally encountered in the Zumawi region gave Yan Shaoou a talent that was quite compatible. This enhancement contract allows Warlock's summoned units to gain their own HP and attack bonuses!
What effect can the enhanced version of the six Super Hellfires exert under multiple armor reductions such as the aura of natural order?
That bright future, whether it is Shuyan Shaoou himself or Hu Siming, they are very much looking forward to it.
However, even the best future is far away. With Yan Shaoou in the No. 4 position in the team, with relatively few resources tilted, there will be a long way to go if he wants to make equipment of that level. As far as the foreseeable future is concerned, his Hellfire ultimate is not enough to play a role in determining the battlefield, and it is more about field control and auxiliary output.
The core output point of the team is still Hu Siming.
Whether it is the Ancient Giant God, the Warlock, or the Vengeful Soul talent that Yu Gaowu is preparing to test, to put it bluntly, it all revolves around the point of the Ash Spirit. Even, Xu Guang's end is to protect Hu Siming's point. Without Hu Siming, relying on the Doomsday Ultimate, the other three cooperated, and it was not impossible to fight, but compared to the compulsory courses, such a four-person combination in the academy would not be strong enough, and it would be slightly cumbersome.
Therefore, whether the team battle can be played well and whether Hu Siming can play a sufficiently explosive output will be very crucial.
In the drill before the unified examination, the team mainly went to this point. Xu Guang's Devouring and Stolen skills, Shi Niu and Yan Shaoou's skills will be released with Hu Siming as the first priority. As far as the actual yàn of the squad is concerned, although there is no ultimate, and the coordination played is incomplete, the effect is not bad.
In addition to this kind of combat cooperation, several people rushed to sort out the transitional equipment and skill experience in the early stage before the official opening of the unified examination.
With Hu Siming's help, Xu Guang's equipment is no longer a problem. Boots of Speed, Nether Shield, Bracers, and other accessories such as the Round Shield. In terms of skills, because he had already reached a consensus with Hu Siming, he also used the skill experience crystallization of soul stone transformation to double point the devouring and scorched earth skills to level two.
As expected, after Devouring is upgraded to LV2, he can keep up to four sets of skills he steals, and the time to switch is reduced accordingly.
Shi Niu and Yan Shaoou only got the inheritance, and the equipment was relatively not so neat.
In the previous battle, Shi Niu had hit the Ring of Life Recovery +2 points, the Iron Tree Branch with all attributes +1 points, etc., and this time after becoming a hero, he got a Wandering Mage Cloak with +15% magic resistance. This equipment accessory is the same level of equipment as the chain mail that Xu Guang opened, and the effect is not bad, and it can be used to synthesize a challenge bandana and a shimmer cloak.
However, the point is that there are no shoes!
Slow movement speed is the deadliest. If he is slow alone, the whole team will follow suit. Unless Hu Siming is willing to give up on his teammates, no matter how fast he runs with the phase war drums, he can only take the initiative to suppress the speed.
At this point, Hu Siming and Xu Guang can't do anything for the time being. Because he was too late, he could only gather a batch of general points and Radiant seals, and let Shi Niu exchange one from the college's Bize blacksmith shop.
With these Speed Boots as a base, the team's mobility is much higher.
As for his skill deduction, there is no doubt that it is the Lord plus the aura of natural order. After LV2, the effect of the aura has been increased to reduce the base armor by 60% and the base magic resistance by 19%, which has great growth potential and outstanding results!
The remaining skill experience crystals were all used by Shi Niu to strengthen the astral geismus, and they were also upgraded to LV2.
Yan Shaoou's hero reward is a mage robe. Hu Siming once had it, and it was used to synthesize the ancestral war drums. As the fourth position of the team, Yan Shaoou, the warlock inheritance, will definitely not play the war drums again, and in the future, he can consider synthesizing the Necromancy Book or refreshing the ball. At this stage, it can only be hung alone as a piece, providing 6 intelligence bonuses.
In addition, he doesn't have any decent equipment, nothing more than an intelligence cloak with +3 intelligence, iron branches, and the like.
Like Shi Niu, large equipment or something, it will not be able to be updated for a while and a half, so I can only temporarily consider adding a pair of speed boots to Yan Shaoou. There are a large number of treasures eliminated by the two of them after the graduate school entrance examination, and after handing over a few of them to the community warehouse permanently, the contribution to the huàn is enough to redeem the huàn speed boots, and there is still a little leftover.
Considering that the contribution is not easy to come by, and the small pieces of equipment are relatively easy to get, Yan Shaoou did not spend it indiscriminately. After all, with his current skills and state, even if there are multiple ethereal pendants or something, it won't have any impact on 5v5 team battles. It's better to keep the contribution and change some important equipment in the future.
Once the equipment update is complete, his skills will also be upgraded.
After consuming all the previous skill experience crystallization, Yan Shaoou upgraded the Fatal Link and Dark Word Technique to LV2 successively. The former can be upgraded to have one more linked object, while the latter is more powerful, reaching 25 healing/damage per second!
Yu Gaowu, the only elite student, also inherited the treasures replaced by Shi Heyan Shaoou. Because it was not a battlefield for graduate school entrance examinations, he didn't need to think about the difficulty balance, suppression of strength or anything, and for the first time, he replaced six of the best treasures, and there were still replacement ones in the storage bar. There is no doubt that with his current equipment, he should be the strongest elite in the real world!
After such an update, the average strength of the team has increased dramatically!
