It wasn't the first time that Li Yibo had dug a hole and fallen into it. This guy had practiced for many years, and his ability to justify himself had already reached the Master level.
"Damn, so Wei Chen didn't just stop Windward Formation in place for a psychological battle, but also to study the surrounding terrain. Right now, he's using this terrain in a more targeted manner to firmly grasp the initiative on the battlefield." Li Yibo's expression didn't change, and his heart didn't skip a beat. He didn't deny the theory of psychological warfare, while speaking of his new discovery.
"So that's how it is!" Pan Lin suddenly understood. He hadn't noticed this point. As for Li Yibo's shameless and far-fetched conjectures, he had long since gotten used to it. He couldn't even be bothered to retort.
"Indeed, ever since the two sides started fighting, Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher has been suppressed the entire time. He's tried to break out of the situation several times, but Wei Chen has quickly suppressed him. From what we can see, these few times he's been suppressed, he's been using the terrain to his advantage."
"Ah! Life Extinguisher has been hit again. This is another victory using the terrain. The Curse Arrows are stuck at an angle, and the right side is a Slice. After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Shiqin decided to let Life Extinguisher take the Curse Arrows. But in the end, there was a Binding Spell hidden in the light of the Curse Arrows. Xiao Shiqin didn't notice it! "
"Xiao Shiqin is playing very passively, but he's already realized where the problem lies. Look at his current movements. He's no longer trying to counterattack. He wants to retreat and leave the battlefield for now," Li Yibo said.
"But after being hit by this Binding Spell, he'll definitely take another round of damage."
"Death's Door. Wei Chen directly used Death's Door. He wants to trap Life Extinguisher in this corner! It looks like he's also realized Xiao Shiqin's change in intentions, so he's willing to gamble with Death's Door. The duration of the Binding Spell is probably just enough for Death's Door to cast. Relying on this high-level skill alone is a bit weak! But as long as this Death's Door can be caught, then combined with a wave of attacks, it'll deal a lot of damage to Life Extinguisher! " Most of the time, Li Yibo acted like an expert giving advice, but now, he was a bit excited. The competition had reached its climax. Everyone stared intently at Windward Formation's channeling bar. What would happen after the skill was released?
"Ah! Life Extinguisher moved first!!! " Pan Lin suddenly yelled, "He broke free from the Binding Spell first. Windward Formation's Death's Door seems to be a bit late."
"Character advantage! This is the advantage of an All Star level character. Normally, a Binding Spell can cast a Death's Door in the time it takes to cast a Binding Spell, but Life Extinguisher's Spirit Resistance allowed him to break free of the Binding Spell first. Windward Formation's Death's Door … huh, this Death's Door … "Li Yibo suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Windward Formation's Death's Door took a bit longer to cast, and this bit of delay should have been a fatal opening for Life Extinguisher to escape. But in reality, it wasn't, because this Death's Door had a larger range. Even though Life Extinguisher had escaped a bit earlier, he was still within the range of this Death's Door.
"Life Extinguisher couldn't escape! He's still within the range of Death's Door. Why do I feel like this Death's Door is a bit larger than the one we're familiar with? Coach Li? "Pan Lin said.
"Yes, this Death's Door has a larger range. It's at least two levels higher than the Death's Door we're familiar with," Li Yibo said.
"An extra two levels of Death's Door, that's very extravagant!" Pan Lin was astonished. A high-level skill like Death's Door required a huge amount of skill points to level up. And this skill, for a Warlock who specialized in crowd control, needed its area of effect, not its damage. As a result, for this high-level skill, most players wouldn't max it out. They just needed to have enough skill points. Especially for pro characters, they would look for the most cost-effective way of adding skill points based on their team's class composition and strategy. After all, skill points were limited. If all skills could be maxed out, then there wouldn't be this problem. Adding skill points was a problem that required in-depth research, just like how equipment was used. For Warlocks, maxed out Death's Door? That was common in the game, but in the pro scene, it wasn't even appropriate to describe it as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns, because it simply didn't exist.
"This … it's probably because Wei Chen has been playing the game for many years after retiring! Once you're used to it, it's not that easy to suddenly change it. " Li Yibo explained dryly. How could he know that the reason Windward Formation's Death's Door was so extravagant was because his skill points were higher than a pro character's? Putting in a high-level skill like Death's Door would be a burden for many characters, but for Windward Formation, adding two levels wasn't a problem at all. What's more, his Silver weapon, Death's Hand, had an additional level. For other Warlocks, this would be considered extravagant, but for Windward Formation, this was the most economical type of Warlock.
"Good, even though Life Extinguisher relied on his higher Spirit to break free from the Binding Skill, Windward Formation also relied on the higher-leveled Death's Door to keep him within range … Windward Formation is now on the offensive. Life Extinguisher … Life Extinguisher is constantly using his various mechanical tools, but under the range of Death's Door, it's a complete waste! Life Extinguisher hasn't just been standing on the field. This is his third battle. Why is Xiao Shiqin still wasting his mana so extravagantly? "Pan Lin was dumbstruck as he watched the match.
Death's Door originally only had one target within range, but Xiao Shiqin constantly had Life Extinguisher use all sorts of tools. More and more black smoke came out of Death's Door, dancing all over the field. However, these tools used by Mechanics were extremely fragile, and they weren't like characters that could be controlled by the player to dodge. They were quickly wrapped up by the black smoke and exploded. Even so, Xiao Shiqin still had Life Extinguisher throw them nonstop. Black lines flew everywhere within Death's Door's range, and explosions were everywhere. They were all caused by the tools Life Extinguisher threw out. And the meaning of his actions was quickly revealed. Life Extinguisher borrowed this chaotic energy to escape from Death's Door's range of control.
"Ah … Life Extinguisher escaped! Windward Formation's combined attacks with Death's Door weren't able to stop him. The situation is too chaotic, and this is all because of Xiao Shiqin's reckless use of mana. "
"Sacrificing mana in exchange for life. This is probably Xiao Shiqin's only method. In reality, this isn't the first time he's used this method of escaping from the Warlock's control, "Li Yibo said.
"Oh?"
"In the match against Blue Rain, he used it before," Li Yibo said.
"Oh? Is it Yu Wenzhou's Swoksaar? "
"Of course. Because Yu Wenzhou's hand speed isn't as good as it should be, he wasn't able to keep up with the tempo in this chaotic situation, allowing Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher to escape. As for Wei Chen, he's not at his peak condition right now. His reactions and mechanics aren't able to keep up, so his tempo in this situation is a bit slow. Blue Rain's two generations of Warlocks were both defeated by Xiao Shiqin using the same method. This coincidence is really … "Li Yibo sighed.
"But Xiao Shiqin won't be easy to fight next!" Pan Lin said.
"That's true. He used up a lot of mana in this round, so he doesn't have much mana left. If he can't use it efficiently, he probably won't be able to last through this round, "Li Yibo said.
"But this is already the third round he's faced. For him to play to this extent, it's already a huge victory!"
"Of course. He almost had a 1v3. Xiao Shiqin has already done his best."
The two were still commentating the match together. From their words, it wasn't hard to see that they didn't think Xiao Shiqin would win this round. Even though he had successfully destroyed Wei Chen's plan to seal him off, he had used up too much mana. Next, unless …
"Ah, Xiao Shiqin didn't leave. After Life Extinguisher moved, he turned around and attacked Windward Formation!!" Pan Lin cried out. He and Li Yibo both thought that after Xiao Shiqin escaped, he would have Life Extinguisher leave the area that Wei Chen had studied. They didn't think that after escaping, he would turn around and immediately attack.
"Uh, it looks like Xiao Shiqin doesn't think there's a need to drag this round any longer. He wants to use this wave of attacks to deal as much damage as possible to pave the way for the next player!" Li Yibo guessed.
"Mechanical Airdrop! But this time, Windward Formation didn't have anyone to cover him … Xiao Shiqin had just escaped from Death's Door and used a large number of skills. Right now, most of them were on cooldown, but he was still actively attacking with the limited number of skills he had. He's adding in a lot of normal shots to fill in the gaps in the chain of skills! Wei Chen doesn't seem to be able to deal with it easily this time! That Mechanical Airdrop forced him to continuously move, interrupting his attack. "
"Self-propelled Artillery! This skill just came off cooldown and was immediately used. "
"Huh? There's a Roamer over there. When did he summon it? Windward Formation is retreating. He still wants to find cover to ignore the Self-propelled Artillery. Ah, he's stuck. Windward Formation's movement has been blocked by that Roamer. He can't use that cover, so he can only face the Self-propelled Artillery head on. Ah, he's in such a sorry state after being blasted! "
"The Hunter has also caught up. Life Extinguisher's offense is very coherent. He seems to have seen through Wei Chen's strategy of using the terrain. Windward Formation has retreated. Ah! A Mechanical Tracker appeared from behind the wall. He didn't see it, didn't see it, it exploded … Windward Formation has been blasted by the Mechanical Tracker. The Hunter has pounced … Coach Li … this … "
Li Yibo, who had just predicted that Xiao Shiqin was paving the way for the next player, was also shocked by Xiao Shiqin's endless offensive. He immediately changed his words: "Is Xiao Shiqin planning on taking down Windward Formation in one wave? Let's see if he can do it. "
