It was said that some club dungeon commanders were so anxious that their mouths were full of blisters and their voices were hoarse. Waves after waves of players entered the dungeon, and some of the poor players' DKP was about to be deducted into the negatives.
On the other hand, Lu Li didn't seem to be anxious at all.
When he was in the dungeon, he would chat with Water Fairy to improve their relationship. Occasionally, he would tease the Adorkable duo, or prank Weilan Haifeng.
Under his leadership, the atmosphere of the whole team was very relaxed.
Other teams had their commanders scolding their members, but Lu Li's team was scolding their commanders. Could they not be more mindful?
After messing around like this for two weeks, everyone suddenly realized that they had seen all the skills and mechanics of this Boss. They were progressing much faster than other clubs. The Capital of Glory didn't know, but Blood Red War Flag's dungeon alliance was very clear about their progress.
Sandstorm was Ouro's most commonly used skill.
Once every 22 seconds.
180 degree semi-circular breath. Damage 3,500-4,500. Range: 45 yards. Those hit by the sandstorm will enter a spinning state for 5 seconds, unable to move. Their aggro will also be greatly reduced. Even if they resisted the sandstorm, their aggro will still be greatly reduced. Sandstorm will be cast in the direction of the highest aggro, regardless of whether the target is in range or not.
Sweep, once every 15 seconds, 360 degrees, 15 yards range, dealing around 1000 damage to main tanks (2000 damage to Thieves). Effect: Repel all players in range and temporarily reduce aggro.
Burrow, unable to attack his target within 5 seconds, or randomly at 9 seconds.
Ouro Mounds: While burrowing, summon Ouro Mounds. Four mounds will chase after the target and attack with natural attacks.
Ouro Beetle: After 30 seconds, summon Ouro Beetle, and Ouro burrows out of the ground.
Ouro did not have many skills. The first two were common skills, and he would use them once every thirty seconds, which was actually very fast. The last three skills could be seen as a combo, and he would use them every one and a half minutes or two.
Apart from that, after entering the third stage, Ouro would awaken a new skill, Earth Spike. The target was usually ranged and dealt over 5000 damage.
Lu Li spent two weeks to enter the third stage and witnessed the Earth Spikes' ability to instantly kill enemies.
"I can't fight anymore," Weilan Haifeng knelt on the ground and fell forward. He looked like he was going to die of exhaustion.
"Yeah, it's too difficult." Lu Li did not disagree with this statement. Ouro was the most difficult Boss they had ever seen. It was much more difficult than the Twin Emperors that they had spent two cooldowns to defeat.
"F * ck, what are you doing?" Weilan Haifeng began to struggle.
Don't misunderstand, nothing too tragic happened. It was just that Wander took the lead and sat on Weilan Haifeng with Fei Houzi and the others, making him unable to get up even though he was lying on the ground.
"Oh, yes, it's too hard." The Wander was sitting comfortably and didn't want to get up at all.
This was the current atmosphere in Ruling Sword's Instance Dungeon.
"Boss, how long do you think we'll need to defeat this Boss?" Fei Houzi asked. After the Donghua Cup, Fei Houzi couldn't even find a reason to slack off.
"I think it'll be another two weeks," Lu Li said.
He wasn't just talking nonsense. In his previous life, the Capital of Glory took 80 days to defeat Ouro. In almost three months, Ruling Sword wasn't much stronger than the Capital of Glory. However, Lu Li was someone who had experienced rebirth, so he shortened a lot of things and steps.
Under his intentional or unintentional interference, Ruling Sword used only two weeks to almost complete the task that the Capital of Glory had spent two months to complete.
Lu Li knew all of Ouro's skills and had 'accidentally' come up with a strategy to deal with these skills. Lu Li conservatively gave him two weeks to familiarize himself with Ouro's rhythm and practice their coordination. If there were no accidents, it would be even shorter.
"That Earth Spike just now, we wouldn't be able to deal with it in two months," Fei Houzi said, feeling that it was unbelievable.
He had just been killed by the Earth Spike. It was just a one-time damage, but it was enough to kill him.
"Actually, the Earth Spike just now was a sign. There were signs that the ground was undulating. At first, I thought it was a Dirt Mound, but now that I think about it, it really isn't the same as the Dirt Mound skill. As long as you avoid it when the ground is undulating, you can avoid the damage from the Earth Spike. Am I right?" The one speaking was Sky Moon, a player who was very observant.
Lu Li discovered that ever since Sky Moon joined the team, he didn't have to worry about his identity as someone who had experienced Rebirth being discovered.
As long as Lu Li pointed it out a little, the other side would be able to draw inferences about other things. His performance was even better than Sky Moon's, who had experienced Rebirth. If it wasn't for the fact that he lacked a sense of the overall situation, Lu Li would have to admit defeat in front of Sky Moon.
"Mm, everyone pay attention later. Moon Moon's observation is very detailed," Lu Li said with appreciation.
"…" Sky Moon was very resentful.
"Why don't we let Moon Moon take command?" According to the order of rotation, the three of them followed the principle of three to one. Lu Li would command three times, while Wander and Sky Moon would each command once. This would give Lu Li some time to rest.
However, Wander was already lazy to the point where he didn't want to command even once.
"If you're not tired, then so be it." Lu Li didn't object. In a situation where Wander didn't want to waste his brain cells, he really couldn't command as well as Sky Moon. Young people still had the drive. Wander had already entered his old age.
"Alright." What else could Sky Moon say?
The Thief profession was in an awkward situation with this Boss. Lu Li and Water Fairy needed to dodge the sweeping blows and deal damage at other times. They definitely couldn't afford to draw aggro. At the same time, they had to deal high damage. In order to reduce the aggro, they had to run to the position of the main tank to eat Sandstorm.
Those who were attacked by Sandstorm, although they would suffer a lot of damage, their aggro would also be cleared.
Lu Li chose two pieces of equipment that increased Natural Resistance from the guild storage. In addition, his HP was higher than the average Thief, so it wasn't a big problem to occasionally tank Sandstorm. Water Fairy's situation was similar to his, but her equipment was better.
Lu Li's current equipment couldn't compare to Water Fairy's.
He had a lot of equipment that he hadn't changed in a long time. Some of it was because he couldn't bear to part with the special effects, and some of it was because he hadn't found suitable equipment.
There was no way to change his unlucky hand in a short time. If the Boss didn't drop Thief equipment, there was nothing he could do.
As for his ring, it looked like he would have to wait until the Outland opened next year before he could do quests to level it up.
This Boss wasn't friendly towards melee players. He had to move around, so in terms of damage output, he was completely suppressed by magic players. Not to mention Huadi Liqing, he couldn't even compare to Fei Houzi or Sesame Tangyuan.
Sky Moon's command of the battle wasn't anything new. It was basically the same strategy that Lu Li had used before. For example, two tanks, one in front and one in the back. When the main tank was stunned by the Boss and the aggro was cleared, the secondary tank would stand over and Taunt. When the main tank woke up, he would run over to where the secondary tank had been standing.
Because the aggro wasn't stable, Hunters became the main damage output profession.
Lu Li brought in four Hunter professions. They would go all out to attack the Boss after every round of Sandstorm. Once Pseudocide came off cooldown, they would immediately Pseudocide to clear their own aggro. It was more convenient than any other profession.
Priests also had a similar skill. Fade was a Priest's skill to clear aggro. After using it, their figure would gradually become blurry, and the aggro they received would also decrease.
This skill could allow the Priest to escape if they had teammates. If their teammates were all dead, it was useless. It wasn't like they were really invisible.
"Actually, I think we can bring in a Bear Tank," Sky Moon said to Lu Li as he looked at the increasing number of casualties. Even a Tank had died, so Sky Moon took the time to talk to Lu Li.
"Bear Tank? Why? "Lu Li didn't quite understand.
"I think that a Bear Tank has more of an advantage when facing Sweep. Sweep is used too often, and a Warrior needs to switch positions and waste a lot of aggro. Also, the cooldown is quite long, so it can't be used carelessly. A Warrior walking back to attack Ouro will waste a lot of attack time. It was the same situation when we died a few times," Sky Moon explained.
"Sounds good." Lu Li had played Druid in his previous life, so he knew this profession very well.
The Bear's Charge every 15 seconds consumed 5 aggro. Every time a Sweep was used, it could be immediately intercepted. Throughout the whole process, it could continuously build aggro. With the support of Primal Rage, the Bear wouldn't lack aggro at all.
"The current version of a Bear Tank." Lu Li was actually a little hesitant.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this problem. Drizzle Court's Deep Watersong was on standby outside.
"I know. They take a long time to build aggro, but as long as we have good equipment, this shouldn't be a problem," Sky Moon insisted.
"Alright, next time we'll try a Bear Tank. There's no need to reduce the number of Tanks. One more Tank isn't a big deal. Our damage output won't be our weakness for the time being." Lu Li felt that it was worth a try. In his previous life, there seemed to be a similar strategy, but it wasn't very mainstream.
This time, it was wiped out very quickly.
Sweep was the first skill that appeared, and it was also the skill that the Boss used the most. Logically, it should be the easiest to deal with, but this skill was the main culprit behind most team wipes.
It wasn't that this skill could kill people, but that the consequences of this skill were very serious.
If there were players within five yards of the Boss, then it would drill into the ground every 90-120 seconds. However, if there was no one within five yards, it would immediately drill into the ground. Drill into the ground, mound of earth. Chongzi and Ouro's three consecutive attacks could be said to have killed countless people.
Sweep would cause a knockback effect. Sometimes, if there was a problem with the angle of the knockback, or if the person who was knocked back couldn't rush back to pull the Boss in time, the Boss would drill into the ground.
Sky Moon thought for a long time and compared all the possible measures that could be used. In the end, he felt that changing to a Bear Tank could possibly solve the problem.
Lu Li didn't oppose this, and he didn't have much hope for it either.
Deep Watersong entered the Instance Dungeon.
"Hehe, I'm finally in," he said with a cheeky smile. Only he knew the bitterness in his heart.
In previous games, he also played a defensive class, but it was usually a Shield Warrior or a Guardian Knight. Dawnlight designed the Druid class and gave it a new definition. It allowed the Druid to be a tank, a healer, a damage output, and even a cute one.
Deep Watersong had chosen this class in a moment of hot-headedness, and from then on, he walked on a path of no return.
The early Instance Dungeons and small Instance Dungeons were nothing. With his superb mechanical skills and a set of standard equipment for large clubs, it was easy to deal with them.
But in large Instance Dungeons, most of the time the Druid couldn't tank at all, and it wasn't easy to pull aggro.
Such a weak class, didn't the game company know to strengthen it? In the end, the game company first strengthened the healing of the Healer Druid, making it a specialist in continuous healing. The whole team of healers also performed well. Then, they strengthened the Bird Druid, making it into the top tier of the DPS rankings.
But they didn't strengthen the Bear Tank, and even weakened it twice.
The child raised by the stepmother!
He was one of the top experts in the professional circle, but he had been on standby outside for almost two or three weeks, and hadn't even entered a Instance Dungeon once.
He suspected that he had been forgotten by Lu Li.
"… That's the situation. I hope you can make up for this shortcoming of the Warrior," Sky Moon explained in detail to Deep Watersong why he had pulled him in.
"Don't worry, I've been watching the livestream all this time. I'm very familiar with the Boss's mechanics and skills," Deep Watersong nodded gratefully. It was this commander that he didn't think was very good before, who had fought for this opportunity to show his face. Even if it was for this trust, he had to show some skill.
Some people went back to do their own things after waiting for a long time. Anyway, they just had to come back when they were called. With a Warlock, it wouldn't be a problem to pull them as far as they could.
There were also people who would keep an eye on the First Clear through the internal livestream, constantly studying the Instance Dungeon. If they were there, they would have to do what they needed to do.
"Good luck," Sky Moon was actually as nervous as Deep Watersong. It was the first time he had made such a big decision.
Weilan Haifeng was Lu Li's best friend. It was said that he and Lu Li had known each other since the beginning of the game. No one could imagine how close their relationship was. In the First Clear team, Weilan Haifeng was also liked by everyone. He was especially popular.
No one would have thought that Sky Moon would shake Weilan Haifeng's position as the Main Tank, and replace him with the unpopular Bear Tank in the current patch.
Sky Moon had been singlehandedly promoted by Lu Li, and didn't have much prestige. His role was basically to let him take command for a while during the First Clear, giving Lu Li some time to rest. If it wasn't for the fact that Wander was too lazy, perhaps he wouldn't even have had this opportunity.
Or perhaps he would go and command the elite teams in battles after they had cleared the Instance Dungeon.
