Chapter 170: Finding a Rhythm!
The Liver Emperor's observation ability was indeed different from ordinary people, and after he carefully watched his battle video, he quickly discovered a pattern.
That is: there seems to be a strong correlation between the perfect parry and the next attack!
When Li Huanzhen, controlled by the Liver Emperor, attacks the general, there will be three situations.
In the first case, the general did not parry the action and was slashed;
In the second case, the general parried, but it was not perfect, and he would still lose blood and energy slightly;
The third situation is that the general parries perfectly, does not lose blood, loses a trace of energy, and at the same time will make Li Huanzhen's posture bar grow.
The Liver Emperor found that these three situations often appear in a cycle within three consecutive swords!
In other words, starting from the "perfect parry of the Great General's attack", he will in turn slash at the Great General's first, second, and third slashes, which will correspond to these three situations.
If you slash a fourth time, that is, continue to attack after the general has parried perfectly, then you will definitely be beaten.
The Liver Emperor's eyes lit up, and he finally realized the hidden mechanics of this game in battle.
"I see!
"In this game, there is a strong correlation between a perfect parry and a counterattack!
"The one who parries perfectly, his next knife will definitely be faster than the other party!
"Well, this mechanism is very reasonable, after all, the effect of 'perfect parry' is not only to keep yourself from being hurt, but also to deflect the opponent's attack and stagger the body, while our attack posture is not affected.
"So in this case, our next attack will definitely be faster than the other side.
This logic holds true even in the real world!
"Then I know when I'm going to attack!
"To put it simply, 'when the enemy doesn't make a perfect parry,' I can keep attacking; And once the enemy has hit a perfect parry, then he must be faster than me in the next sword, so I have to stop attacking immediately and prepare to parry!
"And when I don't have a perfect parry, I can't fight back because I'm slower than the enemy. But as long as I hit a perfect parry, I'm bound to have a chance to fight back! ”
The Liver Emperor, who suddenly realized this, was like opening the door to a new world in an instant.
He immediately couldn't wait to fight the Great General again!
And after mastering this law, the Liver Emperor suddenly found that he didn't need to rely on his own reaction to dismantle the move at all, but could directly judge what he would do next based on the general's last move!
And the battle at this time inexplicably presents a strange sense of rhythm.
In terms of sound effects, it is: poof, bell, son! Sonor! Poof, bell, bell! Sonor! …… And so on and so forth.
"Poof" refers to Li Huanzhen's first slash on the general who did not parry, which is the sound of the sword slashing on the body and armor;
"Bell" refers to Li Huanzhen's second slash on the imperfectly parried general, which is a not very crisp metal collision sound;
The first "sonor" refers to Li Huanzhen's third knife being perfectly parried by the general, which is a very crisp metal collision sound, and it will also burst out very bright and dazzling sparks;
The second "Keng" is the counter-slash after the general's perfect parry, which was perfectly parried by Li Huanzhen, and it was also a very crisp metal collision sound;
Then, the Liver Emperor controlled Li Huanzhen to fight back again, and the first knife was still a must-hit, so he returned to this cycle.
However, this cycle is not set in stone, and the general may still have some special moves, such as upper and lower attacks, thrust attacks, and throws.
But these special moves will have a very obvious forward swing action, and the special moves that will be made at each stage are roughly fixed, which is relatively easy to back, and even if it relies on reactions, ordinary players are likely to be able to deal with it.
Before, the Liver Emperor felt that the reaction speed was not enough, mainly because he couldn't react to the general's ordinary attacks.
But now, after he was able to predict the general's basic attack moves, the difficulty of the game suddenly became normal.
It's even very rhythmic when it fights!
Before, the Liver Emperor was almost purely lucky to enter the third stage, but now he is becoming more and more proficient, more and more comfortable, and soon, the first two stages can already be passed roughly unharmed!
The live broadcast room of the Liver Emperor was not very popular, but it was almost two o'clock in the morning, and there were fewer viewers in the live broadcast room.
Originally, there were not a few barrages, but under the wonderful performance of the Liver Emperor, the originally sleepy audience was blown up again.
"! What's the situation? ”
"You're open? Don't get me wrong, I mean you're enlightened? ”
"The anchor didn't react so fast before, right, why are they all perfect now?"
"I was beaten up just now, so I can be harmless for a stage?"
"It's all a perfect parry, this picture, this sound, it's so pleasing to the eye!"
"Isn't the battle in this game unilaterally beaten like a dead dog by the boss? How can you be so handsome? ”
The audience was all shocked, and some even gave gifts.
After a few attempts, the Liver Emperor was basically able to steadily enter the third stage of the Great General with only one or two bottles of medicine.
Although the attack pattern of the general in the third stage will change, and he will use a lot of tentacles to hold weapons and attack in turns, which no longer conforms to the rules summarized before, but the Liver Emperor also found that in this mode, it is OK to change his thinking.
The general's three-stage tentacle attack is round by round, and depending on the length of the tentacles and the use of weapons, this round of attacks is about the rhythm of "bell, bell".
During this round of attacks, the player must not fight back, otherwise they will definitely be beaten.
If you don't master the rhythm, there are too many imperfect parries in this round of attacks, and it is very likely to collapse.
Once the stance bar collapses, then the follow-up attack will most likely kill Li Huanzhen directly.
But on the other hand, as long as you can get used to this rhythm and parry most of these attacks perfectly, then not only can you add a lot of stance slots to the general, but you can also use martial arts to output in the big gaps later.
"Isn't this a sound game?"
As soon as he thought of this, the Liver Emperor was not sleepy in an instant.
It's hard to think of it as an action game, but if you look at it as an audio game, it's much easier!
As long as you can remember the general rhythm, the third stage is actually quite free!
The Liver Emperor concentrated on the serious operation, and after about five attempts, he really successfully defeated the third stage of the Great General!
A cutscene appears on the screen, and the general who has become a flesh creature is not dead, but still slowly and leisurely stands up, and jumps from the attic of the palace with his flesh tentacles wrapped around the eaves.
Then, Li Huanzhen was able to meet the little emperor of Daliang, and the two NPCs, Xie Gu and Zhao Siyuan, also came to the palace from the original Taoist temple.
After a plot dialogue, Li Huanzhen decided on a new goal, which was to go to the three key locations of Shingon Temple, Xianhe Valley and Immortal Village, and obtain the three items of "Relic Sword", "Red Meat Crown" and "Tai Sui Polymer" respectively.
While watching the plot, the Liver Emperor watched his previous video on another screen and summed up his experience.
Even under this mechanism, new speculations have been proposed.
"'Cut three slashes and one', this mechanism is completely valid! This method is feasible against the vast majority of humanoid monsters.
"Now that I think back to those elite monsters and bosses that I fought in a daze before, most of them can also be fought with this method!
And ......'cut two and one' or 'cut one and one', it seems to work!
"Even when dealing with some bosses, it might be more reasonable than 'cut three and one'?"
Obviously, the Liver Emperor had realized that he could in turn exploit the relationship between the perfect parry and the counter-slash.
Since the boss will definitely parry perfectly when he is slashed for the third time, and after the perfect parry, there will inevitably be an extremely fast counter-slash, then, what will happen if I don't slash the third slash?
The answer is, it will greatly improve the tolerance for mistakes during the battle!
After the player parries perfectly, the first knife is the highest gain (BOSS loses blood), the second knife is a small gain (the boss imperfectly parries a small amount of blood), the third knife is no gain (BOSS parry perfectly), and the fourth knife is a negative gain (beaten).
The third knife was perfectly parried by the BOSS, although it can also knock out a small amount of energy bar, but the next knife of the BOSS must be an extremely fast counter-slash, and once the parry is slow, it is easy to be beaten.
Then give up the third knife, only cut the first two knives and wait for the boss to make a move, at this time the boss's attack speed will not be very fast, there is enough time to react and prepare, and the success rate will naturally increase significantly.
The Liver Emperor was immediately excited, and his sleepiness was swept away: "Help me up!" I'm going to hit ten!! ”
