Although the Thousand Machine Crossbow's four added base attributes after advancing to a Nation Suppressing National Weapon were not as high as the 8,000 points granted by Nation Suppressing National Weapons such as the Armor of Reincarnation, one-handed crossbows had always provided far fewer attributes than equipment of the same tier. An increase of 1,500 points after advancing was already a substantial improvement.
Besides the major boost to its base attributes, its other additional effects had also improved considerably. In particular, it had gained a ranged lifesteal effect—ranged attacks had a 20% lifesteal effect.
Although Reincarnation * Gan Jiang also had a lifesteal effect, it could not be equipped alongside the Thousand Machine Crossbow. Thus, after switching to Archer mode, Ye Luo could not benefit from its lifesteal and only had Blood Spirit Touch's 1% omnivamp effect. However, 1% lifesteal was far too weak and could only be considered better than nothing.
In other words, after switching to Archer mode, Ye Luo practically had no lifesteal ability. Fortunately, he possessed extremely powerful recovery capabilities. Furthermore, after switching to Archer mode, he could kite enemies using his extreme range and exceptional mobility, barely needing to take any attacks, so there was no need to worry about his HP being depleted.
However, now that he had gained 20% ranged lifesteal, Ye Luo could attack even more recklessly. With such powerful lifesteal, as long as he avoided being controlled, he could maintain his HP at peak condition through lifesteal alone.
In short, after the Thousand Machine Crossbow advanced, it not only greatly increased Ye Luo's damage output but also improved his survivability.
