Chapter 248: Front Row, Second Line, Periphery, and Clearance

[System prompt: Your guild successfully destroyed the demon clan's lair, Bailang Cave. Based on your performance in this battle, your reputation in Luoyang Town has increased by 1050 points, and is now Respected 2050/3000. Your reputation in Fengyin State has increased by 650 points, and is now Respected 875/3000.]

[World Announcement (Fengyinzhou): With the Wolf King and the mysterious existence hiding deep in the Hundred Wolf Cave being killed one after another, the Hundred Wolf Cave is temporarily in a destroyed state and no longer refreshes BOSS-level units.

The adventure level of Howling Moon Forest has been reduced from level 15-25 to level 12-18. A new monster group, the Wandering Wolf Demon Gang, has been added to the Falling Sun Plains. After the Black Wind Mountain forces have taken in some of the escaped wolf soldiers, their power level has been enhanced...]

Listening to a series of system prompts, Xiao Jie knew that they had once again had some kind of impact on the game world.

Perhaps in the future, this influence will gradually become apparent, and the Hundred Wolf Cave will welcome a new owner and become the lair of another monster force, but these are things for the future.

At this moment, the players of Luoyang Branch were happily galloping on their horses on the way back to the city, and each of them was very satisfied with their gains this time.

After returning to Luoyang Town, as soon as he entered the city gate, Xiao Jie was startled by the players gathered near the city gate. Oh my god, why are they all waiting here?
The players looked eagerly at the group of mighty Dragon Knights.

As soon as Qianlong Wuyong entered the city, he was immediately surrounded by players who wanted to join the club.

"Brother Qianlong, I want to join the club. How do I apply?"

"Brother Bailong, are you still recruiting people?"

"Level 15 swordsman, please take me in!"

Being able to take down a monster force of the level of Hundred Wolf Cave, it goes without saying that the rewards will be extremely huge, especially when you see that there were almost no casualties in the team when they set out. It is obvious that this is a reliable guild worth joining.

Those who have made it to the present have some foresight, and naturally everyone has to seize the opportunity. Previously, they did not dare to join guilds randomly because they were worried that the guilds would use newcomers as cannon fodder, but now some of their worries have been dispelled.

Qianlong Wuyong was busy recruiting people, and others were busy resting, but Xiao Jie came to the training ground on his own.

This time's harvest needs to be digested carefully.

He summoned Daju first.

When I saw Daju's level, I was immediately delighted. It turned out that leveling up was faster through team battles. He reached level 8 in no time and gained 10 attribute points.

This time, Xiao Jie has to be much more cautious when adding points. After all, the baby needs to fight, and just adding blood is not enough.

Xiao Jie decided to adopt the 334 plus point method.

4 points of Constitution, 3 points of Strength, 3 points of Agility, limited survivability, dual cultivation of strength and agility.

The tiger is not suitable as a meat shield, and it is not feasible to go the agility route alone. It is better to cultivate both strength and agility to ensure flexibility while having sufficient output capabilities.

As long as it is upgraded to level 10, obtains evolution points, and unlocks the demonization talent, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved immediately.

However, this is a matter for the future. Before that, Xiao Jie still needs to make a battle summary of his experience today.

This was a habit Xiao Jie developed when he was the guild president. Every time after completing a dungeon, he would call the members together to summarize their experience. Now that he is the only one left, he cannot ignore it.

Only by constantly learning lessons and making up for shortcomings can we grow and become stronger.

Although he won today, he had to admit that there was some element of luck involved. Even though he calculated in the end that he had a 100% chance of triggering the Super Secret, he was not % sure whether the Super Secret had enough power to kill Dong Lingzi, or whether it could be triggered %.

This kind of uncertainty should be avoided as much as possible in the game, especially in this kind of death game. Once you lose the bet once, there will be no next time.

There is no choice but to do so this time, and since I have the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill, I can give it a try.

However, a good thing like the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill cannot be used by every BOSS.

Unfortunately, this game does not have a forum to search for game strategies or share gaming experiences, so in the past, I had to figure everything out on my own. Fortunately, there is a database within the Dragon Knights, which contains analysis of the abilities of each profession, deconstruction of game content, and in-depth research on gameplay.

In the past, Xiao Jie was a guest official and had no access to this information. Now that he is considered a "core member", he can finally see the real thing.

Xiao Jie opened the database and downloaded relevant content about BOSS.

After reading this, I suddenly understood and benefited a lot.

This game does not have a dedicated tank class that can fight single-handedly against bosses like in traditional games, because the monsters' IQ is too high, and it is difficult to hold them back even with taunting skills.

Moreover, the fighting power of the BOSS is too strong, and it is not realistic for one person to fight against the monster alone.

So there is no such thing as a 'tank'.

But there is still a similar positioning - that is the 'front row', or the 'first line', which refers to the players who are at the forefront of the battle and directly participate in the fight against the BOSS.

Correspondingly, there are also "second-tier" long-range and filling professions.

'Periphery', a group that deals with small monsters and bluffing atmosphere.

'Clearing the field' is usually a noble magic profession that resolves specific aspects of the battle without directly participating in the battle.

The "front row" is the most critical, not only must the survivability be strong, but the damage must also be high, otherwise the BOSS will simply ignore you. This means that only the top players in the guild can take on this important task.

The front row is divided into three types: strength type, blood bull type, and agility type.

The power-type front row relies on powerful strength to confront the BOSS head-on. They are generally professions such as generals, iron guards, and berserkers. They use long-handled or heavy weapons and rely on powerful toughness reduction capabilities to continuously stun the BOSS. At the same time, with their powerful strength, they use shields to block or weapons to parry to withstand the attacks of the BOSS and create opportunities for second-line output.

The blood-bull type front row mainly focuses on having thick blood and durability. Generally, points are added to the main body's physical fitness, and internal skills such as the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art are cultivated. Then, skills or equipment that can restrain the BOSS are equipped. The main feature is to fight to the death.

Agile front row. This type of front row has the highest requirements for operation. It focuses on agility attributes. The blood volume does not need to be too high, as long as it can withstand two or three attacks from the BOSS. Some people who are skilled and bold do not stack blood at all. They add all points to agility. The main feature is to dodge. Through flexible body movements, they constantly avoid the attacks of the BOSS and find opportunities to output damage, forcing the BOSS to face it but unable to kill it.

It is obvious that Xiao Jie is one of these people. In the past, when he fought against BOSS, he was able to basically avoid being hit by the BOSS.

But the attack range of this BOSS today was too huge, and its speed was too fast, so it was obviously difficult to resist.

Of course, a big part of the reason is the level difference. After all, he is only level 20, while the BOSS is level 33.

However, fighting monsters above your level is a common occurrence in this game.

According to the suggestions in the information, a mature agile front row should have an agility of over 100. This can reduce the character's action lead time to less than 0.01 seconds. Even when facing close combat with a BOSS above level 30, it can ensure that you can react at any time.

At the same time, you must master at least three advanced body techniques to dodge the different attack modules of the BOSS.

At the same time, you must master at least two advanced light skills to maintain contact with the BOSS and avoid being thrown away by the BOSS.

You also need to have at least one advanced martial art, and a 'killing skill' - a skill that can instantly cause huge damage to the boss, to ensure that the boss will be 'threatened'.

With this look, Xiao Jie immediately discovered his shortcomings. Agility can be increased slowly, and he has killing skills and light skills, but he still lacks some body skills. Whether it is the kite flip or the lazy donkey roll, they are all basic body skills. When encountering a speed-type BOSS, it is easy to be caught.

Although Phantom is good, it has a 3-second cooldown. Once you are caught repeatedly, you are done.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to learn one or two advanced body skills and use them during the cooldown period of Phantom Escape to ensure seamless connection of displacement skills.

Agility can be accumulated slowly, and it only needs to be accumulated to 30 before level 100.

By then, my agile front row will be complete, and even if I encounter someone like Dong Lingzi again, I will be able to deal with it easily.

After closing the information, Xiao Jie pondered for a moment and prepared to arrange some improvement directions for his teammates.

Ye Luo was not that worried. This girl would never put herself in danger and would never be in the 'front row'. In many cases, she was not even considered a second-line player. She was more like a peripheral or a clearance person.

But my desire to become an immortal is a problem. This guy is a sucker and likes to rush into a fight. His skills are just above average. If he encounters a tough opponent, it will be easy to get into danger.

Thinking about this, he sent a private message to Chengxian.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Cheng Xian, what are you doing? If you have nothing to do, come to the martial arts arena. I have something to tell you.

I Want to Become an Immortal: Currently at the auction house, will be there soon.

Soon I Want to Become an Immortal appeared at the entrance of the martial arts arena. When the two met, Xiao Jie told him the information he had just seen.

"I think the analysis of the game in this data is still reasonable. This game is different from the traditional online games in the past. It is very important to find your own position. Do you plan to be in the front row in the future?" Xiao Jie explained the definitions of the three types of front rows to me.

When I heard that I wanted to become an immortal, I hesitated for a moment, but I didn’t hesitate for too long and soon made up my mind.

“I decided to be a front rower!”

The thing is obvious, the periphery is basically a synonym for noobs and idlers, who just get basic points and basically can't get anything good.

The second line is a little better, but only a little bit. Unless it is a professional long-range player like Xiaobailong, there is still no chance to show off.

Clearing the field is the specialty of the mage. If you don’t have this ability, don’t even think about it.

If you want to get benefits and stand out, you have to be in the front row. The front row is almost the definition of a master.

"Then before you reach level 30, you must stack your strength to over 100 points. This way, when you fight against the BOSS, your combat skills can basically cause the BOSS to be stunned. At the same time, your health must be stacked to over 800, and over 1000 is even better. This way, you will have enough tolerance, and you must have high enough toughness so that you will not fall down in the face of the BOSS's attacks.

There are also toughness-reducing skills, defense skills, and damage-reducing skills... Only in this way can you stand firm in battles against BOSSes above level 30."

Xiao Jie gave me a detailed explanation of how to become an immortal, and I was immediately overwhelmed.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. He has the professional talent of Great Strength, so he can wear heavy armor at will and has no shortage of toughness. As for the other things, he can always make up for it as long as he finds a way.

In fact, the biggest problem is money. Learning skills and getting equipment all cost money.

"I think the requirements in his profile are reasonable. You also participated in today's battle, and you have also experienced Dong Lingzi's strength. If you don't have enough strength, it is easy to die. Today is an emergency. You have to fight monsters above your level. If you level up in the future, you must fight high-level monsters to gain experience. You may encounter such strong enemies continuously, so if you really have this idea, you must work hard in this direction."

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I will do it." I said solemnly.
