In fact, any kind of attack would cause a stun effect, but the effects differed in strength. For example, skills like Dragon's Teeth would cause a stun effect that could be counted in seconds, which would be specifically pointed out in the skill description. However, most of the skill descriptions didn't mention the stun effect. The stun effect would only last for a short moment, so players could only rely on their experience and intuition to catch it.
The difference between experts and normal players was very obvious in this kind of situation.
Why was it that when it came to the same skill chain combo, the experts could complete it perfectly, while the average person would be easily broken by the experts? It was because experts had a good grasp of the rhythm of their skills, so every hit would coincidentally hit the right spot. Therefore, in theory, an impeccable combo did exist, but it was too difficult to achieve. Even the best players could only say that they tried their best, but they couldn't say that they had a 100% grasp of every attack.
However, right now, Ye Xiu had at least achieved this.
Huang Shaotian, who didn't treat this Frag Grenade as a threat, was blown up by this little Mechanical Tracker. Even if he wanted to treat it as a threat, he couldn't do anything. A stun that was so short that many people thought it didn't even exist happened to appear when the Frag Grenade hit Troubling Rain.
No matter how fast one's reaction was, at this time, there was nothing one could do.
The Frag Grenade exploded, and the shockwave from the explosion was like Troubling Rain. Obviously, this was also calculated by Ye Xiu. The shockwave was sent to the exact spot he needed.
Lord Grim was already rushing towards that spot, so Huang Shaotian obviously wouldn't give up. However, he gloomily discovered that the skills that could cause movement in the air, Falling Phoenix Slash and Falling Light Blade, were both on cooldown.
If he could freely fly in the air, then being in the air wouldn't be an opportunity for players to follow up on attacks. At this time, Huang Shaotian didn't have any skills to use, so he could only stare blankly as Lord Grim rushed over and used Collapsing Mountain to smash him into the ground.
Of course, the Troubling Rain would not fall so easily.
For experts of their level, not being able to perform a Quick Recover was a huge mistake.
Of course, Huang Shaotian did not make such a low-level mistake. The moment he touched the ground, the Troubling Rain rolled away.
However, at this level of expert, while Quick Recover could prevent the character from falling to the ground, it couldn't guarantee that it would interrupt the opponent's attack.
In a duel of this level, one had to find an opportunity to counterattack during Quick Recover in order to turn the tables around.
Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain rolled for less than a body's length before he suddenly jumped up. His body was parallel to the ground in midair, and he spun like a top. The tip of the sword that was raised above his head had already drawn several sword circles in an instant, twisting towards the pursuing Lord Grim.
Blade Master Level 45 skill: Headwind Strike!
Even though Headwind Strike only attacked the front, the area it covered was quite large. Moreover, the sword circles were completely controlled by the player. As a result, whether it was jumping up or rolling down, it would be very difficult to break through the sword circles. Ye Xiu made a prompt decision not to fight head on. Moreover, he didn't have Lord Grim stop. Instead, he had Lord Grim retreat.
Sure enough, the instant he retreated, the sword circles that Troubling Rain had drawn suddenly moved forward by half a body's length.
This was a small trick that Blade Masters used when using this skill. Or perhaps it could be called a small trick: through control, the skill's attack range would not be pushed to the limit. Instead, they would deliberately hold back. If an inexperienced player thought that they were already outside of the attack range, but suddenly moved forward like this, they would immediately be twisted by the sword circles.
Ye Xiu obviously knew this trick, so he didn't stop and decisively jumped back. He had dodged it, but he had sweated profusely. The hiding distance was completely determined by the player's control. If it had been a noob, they wouldn't have been able to pull off this trick. Among normal players, as long as they could pull it off, no matter how far they hid, it would be enough to show off to others. However, Huang Shaotian's Headwind Strike actually hid half a body's length. In the entire Glory world, no one could compare to him.
"Not bad at dodging!" Huang Shaotian shouted. He had neutralized Ye Xiu's attack in one fell swoop, raising his fighting spirit. Especially when he realized that Ye Xiu was finally starting to look like an unspecialized. This was exactly what he had been waiting for. After using Headwind Strike, he didn't wait for him to land. He flicked his sword again. This time, it wasn't a Blade Master skill, but a Spellblade's Earth Wave Sword.
This low-level skill didn't do much damage. Blade Masters weren't a class that used magic attacks. Earth Wave Sword was usually learned at Level 1 and could be used as a distraction or combo at certain moments. Huang Shaotian had been able to use this skill at the perfect time, right when Lord Grim was about to land.
However, Lord Grim quickly pulled out his sword and slashed to the side. He had used a Falling Light Blade to land diagonally, dodging the Earth Wave Sword attack.
Falling Light Blade was the skill that Huang Shaotian had wanted to use when Troubling Rain had been blown into the air, but it had been on cooldown. Now that Ye Xiu had used it while Lord Grim was in the air, it looked like he was mocking Huang Shaotian.
"Shameless!!" Huang Shaotian yelled as he hurriedly closed in on him.
Even though he had never fought against an unspecialized before, based on the quality of these pro players, he could figure out the basic problems he needed to pay attention to without even fighting.
An unspecialized's skills covered all 24 classes. There was no doubt that they had the ability to attack from all directions. Ranged, close combat, aerial combat, they all had a large number of skills they could use. When they were close, they could be Blade Masters and Assassins. When they were far away, they could be Gunners and Runners. When they walked past, they could throw down two traps. When they saw you fall, they could throw two spells to sweep the floor …
At this moment, the two characters were a bit apart. Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain had lost his ability to attack, so he had to think of a way to close in. Usually, those who needed to think of a way to close in were long-ranged classes. As long as they closed in, they were already halfway to success. But against an unspecialized? If they closed in, they would only end the situation where they couldn't attack. Next, they wouldn't be afraid of close combat.
Troubling Rain rushed forward. Lord Grim fired, but he didn't retreat. If it were any other Gunner class, they definitely wouldn't just stand there and wait for the Blade Master to rush over. But the unspecialized wasn't afraid. When they closed in, they put away their guns and used their sharpened short swords and spears.
As Troubling Rain rushed forward, Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella didn't fall behind. When they closed in, he suddenly turned his gun into a spear. This sudden change was similar to Huang Shaotian's Headwind Sword skill. Huang Shaotian had been on guard. He was also an expert at this type of trick. This time, the gun turned into a spear didn't cause him much trouble. Troubling Rain turned around and slashed diagonally with his sword.
Then, with a "hua" sound, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella turned into an umbrella and opened in front of Troubling Rain. This slash hit the umbrella. Then, Lord Grim pushed the umbrella forward. Suddenly, Huang Shaotian's computer screen was left with a large circle. The circle was drawn quite nicely. It even seemed to be moving, like a screen saver.
"Too shameless!!!" Huang Shaotian shouted gloomily as he moved.
This was a common strategy used by Knights. The shield was placed in front of your head. Glory's view was completely based on the human eye's field of vision. When these Knights placed their shields in front of your head, it would create this situation.
"You really have no problem using the cheap tricks of every class!!" Huang Shaotian cursed as he continued to move. This situation had to be resolved quickly. The shield was used to block your view, not to play hide and seek with you. In the next second, a knife might be thrown at you. If you wanted to resolve this situation, you had to quickly pull away from the other side. Only with distance could you see the situation in front of you. And the most inconvenient part of this cheap trick was that the user had no way of knowing how effective it was because they couldn't peek at the other side's screen. Clearly, this was another trick that tested the details.
But as a God who had been hailed as a textbook, he was well versed in every detail of the game.
Ye Xiu's wide field of vision and control of distance had long since been perfected. When it came to non-skill tricks like this, he was even more skillful than the best Knight players. Because this didn't require an understanding of the class, but rather an understanding of the many details of Glory.
As a result, the instant he pushed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, Ye Xiu knew that his "screen saver" had been successful. Huang Shaotian was definitely trying to pull away and remove the screen saver. But when Huang Shaotian hastily retreated, the "screen saver" retracted, but it didn't retract backwards. Instead, it retracted forwards. In this instant, the shield turned into a spear again.
"F * ck your sister!!!!!" Huang Shaotian's cheeks streamed with tears. He was caught unprepared. Troubling Rain was pierced by a Dragon's Teeth. This was a skill that created a stun, so the follow-up combo couldn't be missed. A Sky Strike was launched and Troubling Rain flew into the sky.
"Too shameless!" Huang Shaotian's character was in the air, but his mouth wasn't idle. He gritted his teeth and cursed.
A screen saver could be used, but a screen saver that directly turned into an attack wasn't something normal Knights could do!
A Knight with a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other could be clearly distinguished. This type of playstyle was definitely unprecedented in the history of Glory, but Huang Shaotian caught up to it.
"Too troublesome … …" The spectators also hurriedly commented.
"Yeah! This type of change is impossible to defend against! "
"If there were fewer changes, it would be fine, but there are too many of them. It covers all classes."
"All classes are definitely covered, but what I don't know is, all classes, are there only six types? Are there subdivisions within the classes? "
"There's definitely more than six types. Didn't you see the shield come out?"
"So troublesome!!" All the pro players had already unanimously confirmed that the battle against the unspecialized was a battle that would kill many brain cells.
