There was still some time before the end of the game, so of course, everyone wouldn't just rest.
Although they had already obtained the First Clear for the second Boss, Ruling Sword's advantage wasn't too obvious. The story of the tortoise and the hare was something that everyone had memorized since they were young. Increasing the gap between them as much as possible was the most important thing right now.
After killing the Lucky Three Treasures, they returned to the main road.
In front of them was a group of seven Vekniss Guardians. There were two more groups on the road to the right and two more groups on the road to the right. Lu Li used six Tanks and Moonlight to pull these monsters to the corners of the walls and use AoE skills to deal with them.
The Vekniss Guardians were monsters that had been dealt with before, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.
However, the team really did get wiped.
At the time, the situation was like this. After killing the first group, they began to deal with the two groups on the road to the right.
After the battle, the range of the monsters' Pierce targets was too large, so they attracted the other group. The 14 Vekniss Guardians put a lot of pressure on the team, which resulted in some casualties.
However, it wasn't enough for the team to get wiped. Before everyone could rejoice, the Pierce targets were attracted to the two groups on the road.
Four groups of monsters, 28 Vekniss Guardians!
Anyone in the face of so many powerful monsters would feel despair. Lu Li immediately told everyone to give up.
"It's over, it's over," Weilan Haifeng's eyes were dull and his expression was one of despair.
He didn't have the ability to tank so many monsters. In fact, three monsters was his limit, and this was even when he used all his skills. The other Tanks were immediately killed.
"What's there to be over? Can't you be a bit more ambitious?" Lu Li slapped him in the face.
"Do you have a way?" Weilan Haifeng asked innocently.
"Just pull them to the first group. It's not a big deal." Lu Li had enough reason to look down on them. These people's mental fortitude wasn't very good.
Apart from his rebirth, his main advantage was that his mental fortitude was strong. No difficulties or setbacks could affect his thinking.
Pulling groups of monsters to the position of the first group meant that killing them would be a simple repetition of killing the first group. The difficulty was instantly reduced from infinitely high to infinitely low. Let alone getting wiped, there wouldn't even be any casualties.
In fact, not everyone could think of such a simple strategy in the first place.
At the very least, Lu Li was the only one who thought of a solution in an instant out of the forty people on his side. Therefore, Lu Li wondered how long it would take for the other clubs to find a solution.
If they couldn't think of pulling them back and killing them, then congratulations to this club. They might be stuck here until the end of time.
After passing through this path, Sartura was right in front of them.
Sartura was a flying insect, wearing pink clothes and a veil. She looked like a beautiful woman with an enchanting figure. If one ignored her insect limbs, she would probably scare people to death if she took off her veil.
Sartura brought three followers with her, and each one of them looked like a miniature version of her. They were very close to her, so there was no way to pull them over and kill them first.
"Let's see if we can kill this boss before the game ends. Let's get started," Lu Li said in a relaxed tone.
It didn't matter if they could kill the Boss or not.
According to Lu Li's calculations, in the remaining hour or so, it would be good if they could test out a few of the Boss's skills.
Sartura didn't have many skills. One Whirlwind Slash, which dealt a lot of damage, could basically kill a cloth-armored player in two hits. Fortunately, when Whirlwind Slash was used, she would still be taunted. As long as the main tank pulled the aggro, they wouldn't be killed by one Whirlwind Slash.
Another main skill was Enrage.
Enrage was similar to Berserk, but Sartura's Enrage was calculated by time. Fifteen minutes into the battle, she would enter the first Enrage state, and twenty minutes later, she would enter the second Enrage state.
After the first Enrage was triggered, she would be the father, and after the second Enrage, she would be the god.
This also meant that they had to end the battle within twenty minutes. Otherwise, they would definitely be finished. Even if she only had one percent of her HP after twenty minutes, the players might not have a chance of winning.
Apart from that, there were also skills like Mortal Strike and Armor Pierce. This Boss was basically the model of a Berserker.
Sartura herself had about 1.5 million HP, and her three followers had about 300,000 HP. Their attacks were all relatively strong.
The team wipes on this day were basically all due to a problem with time. Too many people died at the front, and the damage output at the back wasn't enough. The battle unknowingly dragged on for more than twenty minutes, and then it was decisively GG.
As such, Lu Li and the others could only wait until the next day to continue the First Clear.
The second day.
There were even more clubs participating in the First Clear. Most of the super clubs had already completed the opening quest. Some began to advance into the Ahn 'Qiraj Ruins, while others held on to a sliver of hope, giving up on the Ahn' Qiraj Ruins and choosing the Ahn 'Qiraj Temple.
Take the First Clear!
Everyone had to have some dreams. What if it came true?
Not long after the second day, Seventh Heaven also took down the second Boss, the Lucky Three Treasures. From the equipment that they dropped, it was easy for them to deduce that there was already someone ahead of them.
However, they didn't suspect that it was Ruling Sword.
They thought that The Capital of Glory was at the forefront of everyone else. As for Ruling Sword, they were probably still entangled with the first Boss or the small monsters. After all, they had also been delayed by the first Boss and the small monsters in front of them for a day or two.
They had already forgotten about the psychological trauma that Ruling Sword had left on them.
In their eyes, their biggest competitor – The Capital of Glory – was currently being oppressed by seven Vekniss Guardians. The first group wasn't going very well for them. They had finally gotten rid of the first group, but they found that the remaining groups seemed to be connected with each other.
They would pull the monsters next to them, and there would be 27 monsters at the same time.
"Be careful, don't pull the monsters next to you," Xiao Mo yelled until his voice was hoarse. The monsters here were attracted by the Earth Spikes, but most people couldn't find it at all. Everyone thought that there was a problem with their positioning.
Only someone like Lu Li, who had experienced rebirth, could accurately pinpoint the crux of the problem.
The Capital of Glory had been wiped here for two or three hours. In the end, it was a person in the team who didn't usually speak much who asked why they didn't pull them to another place to fight.
Xiao Mo was dumbfounded.
Yeah, why didn't they pull them to another place to fight?
Sometimes, smart people would think too much, and they would neglect the simplest and most direct solution.
Lu Li and the others had yesterday's foundation, and were basically already formulating an overall plan and implementing it.
Describing this battle as "everyone kiting" was the most appropriate way to describe it.
Because the damage of Whirlwind was extremely high, and the aggro was being refreshed every second, how to keep the Boss in a certain position without moving became an interesting problem.
The first problem was how to keep the Sartura stunned. Generally speaking, a Warrior's Interception, Concussive Slam and Empowered Vengeance were more commonly used. A Thief's Cheap Shot and Kidney Strike were support skills. This was because a Thief's health was relatively low, so they couldn't always stay beside the Sartura or the guards. Hence, they usually kept Kidney Strike.
Sartura and three followers were patrolling the hall, because dividing the monsters had become the second problem. Using a Warrior to charge up was very difficult, because the Whirlwind that was gathered together was almost impossible to heal.
Because of this, Lu Li adopted the "move first, then pull the monsters" method to ensure the safety of the team.
With two Tanks and a Hunter as a small team, they formed four such small teams. Their targets were Sartura and the three followers.
This way, they needed eight Main Tanks, which was too much. Fortunately, if their equipment was good enough, the Plate Armor classes could temporarily support them. They could cooperate with the real Main Tanks to pull the monsters together.
"Alright, let's hope this is the last time we fight this Boss. Everyone should be fine right now, right?" Lu Li asked.
"No problem." It was early in the morning, and everyone's spirits were good. What problem could there be?
"Then let's begin. Mages, pull the monsters." This time, Lu Li didn't need the Main Tank to pull the monsters, nor did the Hunter. The Mages directly used Frost Nova and then Ice Block. The monsters would surround the Mage's Ice Block and attack. Next, the few Tanks would pull the monsters that they needed to pull to the position that Lu Li had designated.
At this time, according to the distribution of the team, there were two choices:
Focus on the followers and kill the three followers one by one. Then, Sartura: Suitable for teams with high DPS. Since they had already pulled the aggro, the three minions were scattered. Therefore, it was necessary for each party's substitute Warrior to use Taunt to pull the minions back to their original positions after the Whirlwind lost its target. At the same time, the DPS would attack the designated target regardless of the Whirlwind. 300,000 HP was easy to deal with.
Thieves could activate Dodge and forcefully Backstab.
Focus on the Boss. Don't kill the three followers first. Focus on attacking Sartura: Suitable for teams with insufficient DPS but ample healers. This strategy fully avoided the high risk of the Whirlwind. A Hunter would monitor which followers were not in the Whirlwind state. Those that were not would be stunned. Then, the DPS would attack together. At the same time, the healers would ensure that the other Warriors' HP was maintained. This way, the DPS would be concentrated and there wouldn't be any losses. It could almost guarantee that all 40 people would fight to the end.
Compared to the first and second Boss Vimm's Killer Technique, Sartura would be the first barrier that the 40 people would encounter.
These two options had their pros and cons. After some consideration, Lu Li chose the first option.
This was because the first option was more stable. The second option could easily wipe the whole team.
"Mages, pay attention to your survival. If you die too stupidly, you'll have points deducted." Lu Li brought up the point deduction again. It couldn't be helped. The whole field was full of Whirlwind, but there were people who didn't actively move.
"You have to survive and your DPS can't be too low. Boss, you're so demanding," Fei Houzi grumbled.
"Yeah, it's so annoying." Huadi Liqing skillfully activated Ice Barrier and froze herself in a large block of ice. She successfully avoided the Boss' Whirlwind Slash.
"I'll transform, I'll transform," Xiaoba Jiang turned into a big bear with a whoosh. She twisted her butt and ran out of the range of the Whirlwind Slash. When she ran out, she even turned her head to show off and made a funny face. Her class's survivability was very strong.
Kiting for all was not a joke. Everyone had to protect their lives while moving, and at the same time complete their mission.
The short-legged Clerics also had to pay attention to their own safety at all times. Once they discovered that the Boss's target was not right, they had to immediately put on a shield and escape. If Fading and Heart's Flame were useful, they could use it. When the Boss was in Whirlwind, the target would constantly change. So if someone went up to Taunt at this time, they should cast a quick heal to ensure their safety.
The Paladin's advantage was that they could provide additional armor and an additional stun skill – Hammer of Justice. In order to save those who were being chased by the Boss, they had to be flexible in using Protection Blessing.
In any case, every class could play a role, except for Thieves.
The Thieves were in the most awkward position. They almost couldn't contribute to the DPS, but they could provide some stun skills. This time, Lu Li only brought Water Fairy, a Thief. Including himself, there were only two of them.
