They had been wiped out several times before they even saw the Boss.
The difficulty of this Instance Dungeon could be seen. The other clubs that had already started to explore were probably not having it easy either. At the very least, they had to slowly explore and compare the skills of these four monsters.
After killing these few obedient monsters, they turned left and entered the door. They saw two patrolling Obsidian Cleaners and a group of Anubisath Sentinels. After clearing them, they could see the first Boss, "Prophet Skeram".
Prophet Skeram was a Qiraji insect person. Perhaps in Chongzi's eyes, he looked like Pan An, but in the eyes of the players, he was extremely ugly.
"This Instance Dungeon is too difficult. How are we going to fight it?" Weilan Haifeng was already terrified. At the beginning, he was almost killed by the small monsters. Now that he saw the Boss look so different, it would be strange if he wasn't afraid.
No one wanted to die, even in an Instance Dungeon. One could never expect him to get used to death.
"Who knows? We'll know when we die. Let's clear out the small monsters first." Lu Li shrugged, indicating that he couldn't do anything. He couldn't directly release the strategy. Weilan Haifeng was completely lucky to be able to meet this reborn commander. Otherwise, as the number one main tank of Dawnlight, he definitely wouldn't have died so many times.
"Alright then, I'll go first. Don't give up on me so easily." Weilan Haifeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.
Who asked him to be the main tank!
After clearing out the small monsters, everyone started to fight the Boss to the death.
"Let death and screams ring through the clouds! Let the symphony of fear and confusion begin! " The unique screams of the Qiraji insect person formed a language that the players could understand. This monster poured its anger on the adventurers who dared to block the insect person's path.
At first, no one expected to be able to quickly defeat the Boss. However, after a few team wipes, the Boss' skills were basically calculated.
The most commonly used skill was Arcane Explosion. It was an arcane attack centered on the Boss and dealt around 2000 damage. It was obvious that other than the defensive professions, no one else should stay around him. The Thieves and Berserkers could use Bandages after a few hits.
This skill forced Lu Li to swap out a bunch of melee classes.
Earthquake Strike – When Skeram's target was far away from him, he would release this skill, dealing more than 2000 Nature Damage. Therefore, it wasn't feasible for everyone to stand far away to deal damage. There had to be someone standing close to him for him to hit.
His strategy was to always have an MT by his side.
Doppelganger – Every time the Boss's HP drops by 25%, the Boss will split into three. Two of the doppelgangers are fake and one is real. The fake doppelgangers have much higher Attack than the real one, but their Defense is very low and their HP drops very quickly.
Currently, Lu Li and the others had yet to lower the Boss's HP to 25%. However, 75% and 50% of the Boss's HP were doppelgangers, so they could deduce this.
Teleport – the Boss (including the doppelganger) would randomly teleport to a different location. They would randomly appear at the Boss' starting position, the platform to the left of the Boss and the platform to the right of the Boss. After teleporting, the Boss would clear all aggro, and the closest target would automatically become the one with the most aggro.
The scariest time was when three Skerams appeared at the same place at the same time.
Enrich – the Boss would control a player every 5 seconds. The controlled player would grow in size and all skills would be cast instantly. Their Attack would also increase by 100%. The way to deal with this was also relatively easy. It was similar to Nefarian's first stage.
These were his five main skills.
These five skills combined to form the Boss in Nightmare mode. Almost every time the team was wiped, it was because the Boss had some new tricks up his sleeve.
The most important thing was to enrich this control skill. Although the controlled players would be immediately turned into sheep by the Mages, Lu Li and the others didn't know if it was because they were unlucky, or if this was how the Instance Dungeon was set up. In short, there were often situations where the Main Tank was strengthened.
Once the Main Tank was controlled, even if he immediately became a sheep.
When the Boss teleported here, because there was no one to pull aggro on, he would randomly kill people.
As more and more people died, the fight would slowly stop.
In his previous life, Lu Li couldn't explain this phenomenon at all. Fortunately, he wasn't a stickler for rules. He quickly discussed with Wander and Sky Moon an extremely daring idea.
That was to have six Main Tanks!
This was definitely daring. Although 40 people seemed like a lot, there were actually around 10 healers. They also had to maintain a certain amount of damage output. Six Main Tanks took up a lot of space.
They had to do this. This was the result of the three commanders' discussion.
Two Tanks were needed on each platform to prepare to pull aggro on the Boss when it teleported. The reason why two Tanks were needed was to prevent the Tanks from being controlled by the Boss. This Boss was subject to Taunt.
The other DPS and healers stood on the two sides of the stairs and on the platforms. In particular, there was at least one Mage on the stairs of each platform, ready to sheep the controlled players at any time. The Mages responsible for Polymorph would pay attention to the distance of the Arcane Explosion to ensure their own survival.
When the Main Tank attracted the Boss' aggro, the battle would begin. The Main Tank would pull the Boss' head towards the wall where the Boss' back was facing. Everyone immediately stood on the platform. The ranged DPS group would stand on the top and run back and forth to attack.
The healers weren't under too much pressure, but the attack power of the fake bodies couldn't be underestimated. Thus, identifying the real body as soon as possible was the most important thing.
When the Boss teleported when it didn't have any doppelgangers, the Main Tank should go to the Boss' platform and Taunt the Boss to pull the Boss back to the middle platform to avoid chaos.
After the doppelganger, the fake body could immediately teleport. At this time, the two Warriors on the same platform could play a role. They used Shield Wall + Gem of Life to share the pressure of the healers while waiting for the Main Tanks on the other two platforms to pull the real/fake bodies to another place. However, they had to always keep the real body in the middle. This way, the DPS could be maximized.
Skeram's HP wasn't actually that high. If the three doppelgangers were properly dealt with, this Boss wasn't too difficult.
Its death announced the success of the first battle of the alliance of the three guilds.
"Dreamy, loot the equipment. Let's see the progress of the other clubs." Lu Li let out a sigh of relief. However, he knew that now wasn't the time to relax.
The other clubs didn't abide by the gentleman's agreement. Who knew if they had started to attack the Ahn 'Qiraj Temple Instance Dungeon a long time ago. At least the Capital of Glory couldn't have only attacked the Ahn' Qiraj Ruins.
If the Boss dropped more items, then it meant that the other clubs were still fighting the small monsters.
If the dropped items didn't match the First Clear situation, then it meant that the other clubs had already taken down the first Boss, or even more. Then the challenge that Lu Li and the others faced would be even more severe.
At the beginning, they only looted stones. Strengthening Stones weren't much. After all, there were only a few stones in a First Clear.
Then, they looted Synthetic Stones. There were a total of four.
The attributes weren't bad, especially the Doppelganger effect. It was almost exactly the same as the Boss' Doppelganger skill.
After using it, two doppelgangers would be created. These two doppelgangers had weaker defense and HP than the main body, but their attack power was higher. The duration wasn't as long as the Boss, but it still couldn't change the fact that this was a top-quality stone.
