However, among the three classes of the Mechanic class, only the Gun Mechanic class was more popular. It could be considered a stable long-range damage output. The positions of Mechanics and Mechanical Pugilists were more awkward, and they almost never appeared in the competition.
Mechanics did not have a huge amount of experience like Han Technician, so they were equivalent to half a support class. Their combat strength made those who heard it sad and those who saw it cry.
As for Mechanical Pugilists, they were not popular because their positions overlapped with those of the Pugilist class, and their equipment had to be repaired if they broke. In Version 1.0, the style of Mechanical Pugilists was not obvious, and the Pugilist class was able to overshadow them.
Han Xiao had a different opinion. In Version 1.0, the combat strength of Mechanical Pugilists could be seen. As long as their equipment was passable, they could get a set of melee machinery and armor. They could deal half damage and half damage, and they could adapt to all kinds of environments. Compared to the Pugilist class, they had their own advantages. However, the level of control required for Mechanical Pugilists was much more difficult than that of the Pugilist class.
The two difficulties of equipment and control caused almost no Mechanical Pugilists to take shape.
The Mechanic class was useful in team battles, but in the individual battles, the performance of the Mechanic class was very poor. If the other two classes met a Mechanic class opponent, they would feel that they were lucky.
There were close to a thousand individual battles, and the Mechanic class only appeared sixty-four times. They only won eleven times!
The discussion on the forums had reached a consensus that the Mechanic class was the weakest class in individual battles. Han Xiao watched a few individual battles of the Mechanic class, and they were indeed not good. The Mechanic class was a class that took a long time to take shape, and the requirements for control were very high. Most of the current Mechanic class players were not used to the rhythm of PK.
At this level, the Machinery Affinity bonus of the Mechanic class was not high enough. When other classes also used equipment, the difference between them was not obvious.
The Mechanic class was very dependent on equipment. As the versions changed, the mechanical equipment they came into contact with became stronger and stronger, and the bonuses of the Mechanic class became more and more obvious.
This day was Mad Blade's first individual battle. His opponent was an Esper player, and Han Xiao watched the broadcast of this match.
Mad Blade was a Mechanical Pugilist, so Han Xiao sold some of the obsolete equipment to Mad Blade. His defensive equipment was the Magnetically Controlled Metal Armor, and his weapons were the Heavy Mechanical Arms and Mechanical Legs. There were also some replacement mechanical equipment on his body. They were ferocious and gave off a cold glow, making him look like a heavily armored knight.
His opponent's special ability was Ice Manipulation. With a wave of his hand, a layer of slippery ice covered the entire ring, slowing down Mad Blade's speed. At the same time, his own movement was enhanced.
The Psionics were kiting players. Equipped with equipment, they took out enhanced assault rifles from their backs and rained bullets on Mad Blade's armor, causing sparks to fly.
Han Xiao nodded. "Ice Control has a slowing effect. Combined with long-range equipment, it's very suitable for kiting."
Players could use equipment, and guns were very easy to buy. However, the other classes did not have Machinery Affinity, so they could only use the basic power of their equipment. The damage was not high.
Mad Blade rolled on the ice to avoid the bullets. With the protection of his armor, the assault rifle's damage was limited. However, the Psionics planned to use their speed advantage to slowly grind Mad Blade to death.
The bullets hit the armor and suddenly stopped. The Psionics player had emptied his magazine. Just as he was about to reload, Mad Blade took advantage of this opportunity. The mechanical sound of his legs activated, and he exploded with power, shattering a large part of the ice!
Mad Blade leaped into the air and quickly approached the Psionics player.
The Psionics player hurriedly threw away the assault rifle and took out the grenade launcher on his back. He raised his hand and fired, hitting Mad Blade in the air.
Boom!
A cloud of thick smoke surrounded by flames exploded in the air!
The sound of metal sliding could be heard in the smoke, and a thin metal rope flew out and wrapped around the Psionics player. The rope then quickly contracted, and the Psionics player was pulled toward Mad Blade.
Bang!
The two of them rolled into a ball and fell on the stage. Close combat was Mad Blade's forte, and his performance was stable. He defeated his opponent with a few dazzling combos.
"Using smoke to block the opponent's vision and then using the rope to reduce the opponent's chance of dodging." Han Xiao nodded. He saw more details. Mad Blade had a good grasp of the Mechanical Pugilist skills and combat style. He could be considered one of the best among the current Mechanical Pugilist players.
There was no such thing as an unsolvable ability for the players. Every class had their own way of dealing with it. For example, in this battle, Mechanical Pugilists relied on their equipment to close the distance. Pugilists could use energy burst or movement skills. Espers also had their own ways of dealing with it.
…
Mad Blade's victory did not cause much of a stir. He was just a small figure in the pro scene, and it was only the first round of the qualifiers. However, Han Xiao believed that Mad Blade had the ability to shock the world in the first season of the pro league. He just did not know if his results would be better than in his previous life.
Players from all walks of life displayed their skills in the qualifiers. Soon, twenty days had passed, and eighty to ninety percent of the huge base had been eliminated. Only the players who stood out were left.
Frenzied Sword passed every round without any mishaps, and the attention on him gradually increased. There were very few Mechanics left in the individual rounds, and as an unpopular Mechanical Pugilist, many people were very curious about Frenzied Sword, and the recordings of his battles were watched.
"Is this the combat style of a Mechanical Pugilist? Using so many pieces of equipment, it looks very complicated. "
"Combos that use a lot of mechanical equipment look a little cool, but it looks very difficult."
"What's so good about that? It's just because they have good equipment. It's not fair to the Pugilist class. If you have the ability, don't use your equipment. Let's see who wins. "
"666, this is the first time I've heard of a Mechanic using their physical body to fight."
There were all sorts of different opinions on the forums, but overall, Frenzied Sword was slowly gaining fame. In the individual competition between the Pugilist and Esper classes, his Mechanical Pugilist was a different kind of firework.
However, the fame that Mad Blade gained was not even a fraction of Hao Tian's fame.
The Long Sky club's performance in the qualifiers was like a pack of wolves and tigers. Hao Tian was extremely fierce in the individual competition, getting stronger and stronger. His team was also unstoppable in the team competition. Long Sky's Twin Stars and Flash Fried Rice could very well become the new 'Troika' after 'Fried Eggplants with Fish'.
Other than the three core members, the other members of Long Sky were not weak, and their teamwork was very good. They were definitely a strong seed team. Hao Tian's style was fierce, and the atmosphere of the entire team was the same.
In comparison, although the teams of some of the bigger clubs had remained until now, their styles were more stable, as if they were hiding their strength. They did not have the imposing aura of Long Sky.
Be it the individual competition or the team competition, Long Sky was the most popular team in the Blue Star division. In the research of various programs, Long Sky was one of the teams that the players had the most hope of winning the championship.
Pork Bun's' Streamer Courting Death Team 'was eliminated in one round. Han Xiao watched the video of their match and was almost blinded.
All six members were Gunners, pure long-range players, and Conviction's firepower coverage … Then, they were randomly sent to a forest terrain that was not suitable for shooting.
What was even more painful was that their opponent was a professional team from a foreign club.
The outcome was self-explanatory — they died miserably.
Although he knew that they would not be able to qualify, Han Xiao had never seen anyone with such bad luck. He was speechless.
