Spinning Toss, Aerial Twist!
With these two skills, Dancing Rain's health dropped two floors as if she was in an elevator. However, the combo statistics only jumped two times before it stopped.
In this aspect, Grapplers were even more difficult than Elementalists, Warlocks, and Spellblades. This was because Grapplers' grabs were the most CC skills in Glory. Any other class' combo could be interrupted through experience, awareness, or mechanics. However, Grapplers were so CC that there was no way to interrupt a combo.
If Elementalists, Warlocks, and other classes had difficulty comboing, then it would be impossible for Grapplers to combo-combo with their grappling skills. Let alone a pro player, even against a motionless sandbag, there was a limit to how many grabs and throws a Grappler could make.
Therefore, when watching a Grappler match, the system's combo count could be completely ignored. A combo created by a continuous skill was not a real combo in the eyes of everyone. As for the connection between skills, Grapplers relied mostly on false combos. Using one's own consciousness and maneuvering to create a continuous attack that the system could not determine. Even the opponent could not react to it.
Aerial Twist!
Dancing Rain was cruelly thrown to the ground by Chaotic Cloudy Mountain. When the audience watched a match, they couldn't help but think of the player as the character. This throw was like throwing Su Mucheng's face to the ground. Thinking of how Su Mucheng's beauty was treated like this, even Samsara's fans couldn't help but sigh.
But Lu Boyuan didn't care. As soon as he landed, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain immediately pulled his legs back and rolled to stand up. As for Dancing Rain? The knockdown effect of a grab skill couldn't be Quick Recovered, so she obediently landed on the ground. Then, Dancing Rain didn't get up. She rolled on the ground and aimed her cannon at Chaotic Cloudy Mountain.
Boom!
Flames flashed.
Su Mucheng's response was one of the more experienced Grapplers. No matter how she got up, her opponent would definitely be able to react to her. She had to attack or use some other method to disrupt the situation.
However, Su Mucheng was experienced in dealing with judo, and Lu Boyuan was not unaware of this method of dealing with judo. There was a flash of fire and a cannonball flew out, but Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's body sank.
I can't attack you if you lie on the ground and don't get up? How could there be such a big loophole in Glory? Sweeping Attacks were aimed at this type of situation. Even normal attacks, as long as the target was in position, would have a sweeping effect. Not getting up from the ground was definitely not an invincible BUFF.
Elbow drop!
Dancing Rain couldn't get up, so Chaotic Cloudy Mountains fell down as well. His elbow went straight for Dancing Rain's throat.
Su Mucheng had been waiting for this attack. Dancing Rain rolled, dodging the attack while trying to get up. But unexpectedly, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's bent elbow suddenly extended, canceling the Elbow Drop skill. He extended his arm and grabbed with one hand. It was actually a One-Handed Capture.
With a single arm, Dancing Rain, who had been about to roll away, was pulled back. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain fell to the ground, but Dancing Rain was also pulled to the ground by this One-Handed Capture. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain rolled and got up with a Quick Recover. Dancing Rain, on the other hand, was restricted by the knockdown effect of the skill, so she was a beat slower.
This one hit was the Grappler's foothold after capturing the opponent. As for the captured party, the key to reclaiming the initiative was to find a way to break through the lost opportunity that was lost because of this slap.
For Su Mucheng, who was a Launcher, this was undoubtedly more difficult. As a class that wasn't good at close combat, having a Grappler close in on her meant that she had already lost half the battle. Su Mucheng had to seize victory from defeat.
Roll!
Dancing Rain, who had just been knocked down, immediately tried to get up from the ground. This wasn't the wisest choice, but because of this, it was easy to overlook this choice, causing the opponent to hesitate for a moment.
Unfortunately, Lu Boyuan didn't.
After Chaotic Cloudy Mountain single-handedly pulled Dancing Rain up with a Quick Recover, he immediately saw that Dancing Rain had no choice but to get up. Lu Boyuan had never selectively forgotten about these seemingly unwise plans that pro players would never choose.
Ground Sweep!
Chaotic Cloudy Mountain, who had already gotten up, pressed down from above. Just as he was about to grab Dancing Rain's head, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon. Flames and smoke appeared under Dancing Rain's body. Dancing Rain immediately fell to the left. The recoil from the cannon had sent her flying.
Miss!
Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's grab missed. He immediately rushed forward to change his move, but as Dancing Rain rolled to avoid the recoil, she once again aimed her cannon at him.
Boom boom boom!
Three consecutive shots. At such a close distance, the three tank cannons were clearly misaligned due to Su Mucheng's trembling. Her mastery of this low-level Launcher skill had truly reached the pinnacle.
Dodge?
Of course, Lu Boyuan had been prepared for this. However, the range of these three Tank Missiles exceeded his expectations. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain tried to dodge, but in the end, he was still hit by one of the Tank Missiles. The explosion sent him stumbling backwards.
He had been prepared for this attack, but he still couldn't dodge it. Lu Boyuan had been forcefully taken down by Su Mucheng. At this distance, Lu Boyuan couldn't keep up with the Tank Missiles.
With this hit, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's advantage of getting up was gone. The distance between the two sides had increased by one step. With two or three steps between them, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain couldn't reach out and grab Dancing Rain.
Dancing Rain hadn't even gotten up from her roll yet, but she jumped back. The distance of two or three steps instantly became three or four steps. Only then did Chaotic Cloudy Mountain stabilize himself from the impact of the Anti-Tank Missile. He hastily rushed forward, but Dancing Rain's pitch-black muzzle had already lit up.
He couldn't dodge!
If it had been ten steps, twenty steps, or thirty steps, Lu Boyuan might not have been able to do it. But right now, the two sides were only three or four steps apart. Even though he couldn't reach her with a grab skill, he still had the advantage. Three or four steps. Grappler skills couldn't be used, but a Launcher's slow firing speed and rhythm would be exposed at this distance. He wouldn't be able to keep up the threat.
Go!
Lu Boyuan didn't hesitate. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain dodged, as if the Tank Missiles had already been fired. His body kept swaying left and right.
This wasn't a prediction. At the same time, Su Mucheng couldn't make a prediction based on his illogical swaying.
This was a gamble!
At this distance, dodging after seeing the Tank Missiles was impossible. Su Mucheng didn't have time to make an accurate judgment.
One attack!
There was only one chance.
If the attack hit, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain would be forced to stop, and the distance between them would increase.
If the attack missed, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain would rush forward and bring Dancing Rain back into his grab range.
Would he be able to hit the target with one strike?
Everyone held their breaths. They watched as Chaotic Cloudy Mountain swayed and rushed towards Dancing Rain. Dancing Rain's cannon was very steady, but it didn't spit out any fire. Even though she was retreating, she couldn't compare to Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's speed. She would be caught in the blink of an eye, but she seemed to be waiting. Waiting for something?
Closer! Reach out!
Lu Boyuan didn't think that Su Mucheng would hesitate and not attack. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain was already in front of her, his hand outstretched. Even if she attacked again, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's hand should be enough to grab her, right?
Probably …?
Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's hand was just about to grab Dancing Rain, when the two energy slots on Devouring the Sun suddenly lit up with blue light.
Not good!
Lu Boyuan realized it, but it was too late.
This shot didn't produce any explosive sounds. It only produced a brief but hurried sound of energy gathering and then suddenly releasing it.
The Tank Missiles weren't fast enough, but they flashed with blue light, crackling like lightning.
X-1 Extruder!
At the last moment, Su Mucheng had Dancing Rain grab an X-1 Extruder. It was an extremely rare Launcher skill that could control the target.
Was this a prediction? Was this a trap?
No, it wasn't.
This was another one that relied on mechanics to take the hit!
When X-1 Extruder was activated, there would be signs of energy gathering. Moreover, the firing speed of the artillery shells was on the slow side. If it was fired from the start, even if it was three or four steps away, a pro player would still be able to dodge it. If this attack missed, Su Mucheng wouldn't have a second chance.
The slow rhythm of a Launcher originated from her firing speed. The so-called firing speed of a Gunner was definitely not referring to the speed of the bullet after it was fired. It was referring to the time it took to reload and fire the next bullet after it was fired. Whether it was a normal attack or a skill attack, they all needed to reload. Launchers were slow because this process was slow. This wasn't something that could be changed by mechanics. It could only be changed by the "Attack Speed" buff.
At three or four steps, Launchers couldn't pose a continuous threat. Because of this, if one shot was followed by the next, the opponent might be in front of them by the time they reloaded. As a result, there was only this one chance.
As a result, Su Mucheng boldly let Chaotic Cloudy Mountain get closer. When he was only one step away, she started firing X-1 Extruder.
Attack Speed couldn't be changed by mechanics. Mechanics were the commands to use the skill. The faster the command was completed, the earlier the skill could be used.
One step away, an X-1 Extruder.
Su Mucheng relied on this bold move to once again take the hit from Lu Boyuan.
Lu Boyuan had no way of dealing with it. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain was immediately sucked into the X-1 Extruder and helplessly sent flying along with the Tank Missiles. Dancing Rain was getting further and further away from him. There was nothing he could do because the X-1 Extruder couldn't be forcefully destroyed.
