Swoksaar's Confusion?
Not a single person noticed what had happened.
After all, even with the audience's omniscient view, they couldn't clearly see every detail when they zoomed in. Even though everyone knew Wei Chen's overall rhythm, no one had noticed that Windward Formation had crouched down in order to summon Magic Mirror.
Magic Mirror was controlled by the caster and could float in the air.
For some single target skills, if Magic Mirror blocked them accurately, it would reflect them back and prevent the caster from taking damage. But for an AoE attack like Chaotic Rain, Magic Mirror couldn't completely block it. But it could also display its main reflection effect. In the end, Swoksaar and Windward Formation both entered a Confused state.
The quick-witted Yu Wenzhou had actually been tricked by Wei Chen again. While everyone was shocked, they were also evaluating the value of this success.
Under Chaotic Rain, Windward Formation and Swoksaar were both temporarily disabled.
But what about Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud?
He wouldn't be affected by the skills of his teammates, and the Spike Trap that prevented him from moving was just a low-level Thief Trap. He would definitely be the first to escape from this control skill.
And then, wouldn't Windward Formation, who was still in a Confused state, be beaten up? At this time, Lu Hanwen would probably temporarily put aside his instructions to help Huang Shaotian and take advantage of this opportunity to wildly attack Windward Formation.
Wei Chen's response was indeed unexpected, but unexpected didn't necessarily mean that it was a perfect result.
"He didn't have any better choices." Li Yibo sighed, "He could only do his best and use all the methods he could think of to tie down Blue Rain's two."
Pan Lin was silent. Facing an old general who had worked so hard to reach such a state, who would have the heart to comment on his decision?
If he had faster reaction speed and faster hand speed, perhaps there would be other, better methods.
Pan Lin and Li Yibo both understood this point, but the two didn't discuss it.
This' if 'was too cruel, especially for an old general. These were things that he had once possessed, but he gradually lost them. Sadly, he would never be able to find them again.
The scars from the passage of time should not be considered a failure.
Wei Chen had done his best within the limits of his abilities, absolutely.
As someone who specialized in the Warlock class, Yu Wenzhou had been tricked twice in a match. This was something that no Warlock player had ever done before. Since Yu Wenzhou's debut, there had never been one. And now, this kind of old general past his prime that everyone might look down on had done it!
Just based on this point alone, he was qualified to stand on this stage.
Just based on this point, everyone should know why Happy sent him out.
The smoke quickly dissipated.
Drifting Cloud, who was locked down by the Snare Buckle, was unable to make precise commands in the chaos. Whenever he saw Windward Formation and Swoksaar, their characters looked like they were messing around. The three characters were still maintaining the effects of the skills. It was like a stage play.
But this play had to come to an end.
Just as everyone expected, Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud was the first to come out of the state, and he immediately rushed towards Windward Formation.
The greatsword Flame Shadow was swung up, chopped down, and left behind a scorching trail.
Windward Formation was still moving around. Compared to Swoksaar, who stood there quietly after discovering that he was in a state of chaos, he was as laughable as a monkey.
But no one could laugh.
In this state, what else could he do?
Seeing this scene, many of the spectators choked up. Because they knew that Wei Chen couldn't do anything. Windward Formation would only be cut down by Drifting Cloud's greatsword. Then, with the support of Yu Wenzhou and Swoksaar, if there wasn't any support, perhaps this wave would directly kill him.
The old general, who had returned to the stage with great difficulty, was going to come to an end just like this?
The greatsword Flame Shadow fell. Many people didn't want to continue watching. Who would have thought that at this moment, a crack would suddenly appear in mid-air. From the chaotic nothingness, a black claw extended out rapidly. With just a single stretch, it actually managed to capture Liu Yun, who was performing the Collapsing Mountain Strike, into mid-air.
This is …
Warlock skill: Claw of Darkness!
Everyone was stunned.
In a state of chaos, he was still able to use a skill?
And the first to react was once again Yu Wenzhou. He suddenly understood why Windward Formation was still moving around restlessly after being hit by the Chaos Arrow. Because Wei Chen had been trying this entire time. He was probably using a fixed set of moves to see if he could use this skill.
Claw of Darkness …
Yu Wenzhou carefully thought about the mechanics of this skill. Indeed, in a state of chaos, this skill had a relatively high chance of being used.
However, it was only a relatively high chance. Yu Wenzhou couldn't immediately calculate how high this chance was. He only knew that it was still a very slim chance.
But Wei Chen didn't give up. From then on, he kept on running. Whenever he found that he was interrupted by chaos, he would start over again. In this short period of time, no one knew how many times he repeated this. Everyone only knew that he managed to use it. At this crucial moment, Windward Formation cast a spell and summoned Claw of Darkness.
Claw of Darkness was a forceful grab skill. Even a forceful skill like Collapsing Mountain couldn't beat its priority. Just like that, Drifting Cloud was grabbed by Claw of Darkness in midair.
When the audience realized that Wei Chen had used this kind of determination to use a skill in a state of chaos, tears instantly flew out of their eyes.
Happy. All the fans knew about Wei Chen's past. But to be honest, no one felt that this guy had the temperament of a powerhouse team's captain. In their eyes, this guy was more like the boss of a random small team in the game.
The two years he had spent in the pro scene had been the most reckless, and after that, he had never abandoned the game. In truth, Wei Chen didn't have the temperament of a pro player, let alone the distant aura of a powerhouse.
As an old player who didn't appear on stage much, Happy's fans all liked him because he was very down-to-earth. It was like a random dungeon team in the game that disbanded, took a few pieces of equipment, and then happily ran to the pro scene to mess around.
Everyone also felt that Happy had recruited Wei Chen for the sake of an old man in the family. They wanted him to pass on his experience to the other rookies. No one felt that he would be able to make any contributions in a real match. The few times he showed his face, everyone thought that this was a benefit that Happy had given him. He would go on stage and show off a bit, and then everyone would laugh and laugh.
But now, everyone understood.
No matter how old Wei Chen was, no matter how much he didn't have the temperament of a pro player, he still had the heart of a pro player.
The heart to win, the heart to be a champion.
He was using his own methods to fiercely convey this point to everyone.
Yu Wenzhou, Lu Hanwen.
Did they really think that two All-Stars would be able to take him down so easily?
Of course not!
Up until now, Windward Formation had indeed been in a difficult situation. He had indeed lost more health. Every time, he made people feel like he was about to fall, that it was the end.
But time and time again, the situation was stalled by him. The situation was delayed by him.
This old guy, when will he stop?
Even Team Blue Rain's players and Team Blue Rain's fans couldn't help but be moved.
Was this their old captain?
Was this the senior who was rumored to be especially dirty, especially shameless?
Even though they were enemies right now, in the hearts of Blue Rain's players and Blue Rain's fans, a sense of pride secretly welled up.
It was true that Wei Chen represented Happy right now, but the deeper mark on him was that of Blue Rain's first captain, the person who had laid down the foundation for Blue Rain!
Applause.
The applause of the entire stadium.
It came from every corner of the stadium, from every corner of everyone's hearts, from the bottom of their hearts.
Drifting Cloud was thrown to the side by the Claw of Darkness. Windward Formation and Swoksaar were both dispelled from the Confusion status. Wei Chen continued his tenacious struggle to stall for time.
Not good, not good at all.
Yu Wenzhou wasn't someone who relied on intuition. He was completely making inferences based on his opponent's actions and behavior.
Wei Chen was doing his best to stall the two of them, but this definitely wasn't the place to decide victory. The final deciding factor was still that 3v3 battle!
3v3. Blue Rain's confident charge came from the fact that Happy didn't have a healer, so they could be as unrestrained as possible, exchanging health for health, taking down the other side as quickly as possible. But he and Lu Hanwen were constantly being held back. The two of them had been unable to join the battle on that side. So in the end, this sort of attack might seem a bit inefficient.
And on that side, Happy had three attackers. In terms of DPS, they were above Blue Rain. 3v2, exchanging health for health. Blue Rain's casualties were bound to be greater. Even if they had a healer, because they only had two attackers, their explosive power was still lacking, so the battle would only last longer.
The longer the battle lasted, the more health they would lose. With a healer, it was the same as exchanging health for mana, exchanging mana for the healer.
At this time, if Happy's healer successfully joined in and the two sides continued to fight for a long time …
Disadvantageous. This was extremely disadvantageous for Blue Rain.
If the healer didn't have enough mana, then they needed to end the battle quickly. But Blue Rain wasn't a team that specialized in quick attacks. They specialized in defense and counterattacking, gaining the initiative after the enemy had attacked. And on the defensive side, the healer's importance was obvious. Happy's true goal was to target Blue Rain's healer. By exchanging health for mana, they would exhaust Blue Rain's healer until he was a half-cripple, forcing Blue Rain to be unable to play at their tempo.
Targeting the healer.
In the Glory circle, from the pro circle to the Arena, this was the strategy that was most often used in team battles.
It wasn't surprising at all, but it would always be effective.
