Cheng Tian had now broken through the limits in three attributes, while his remaining Charm attribute had also reached its limit. Looking at his stats alone, he had no weaknesses among his peers.
But his combat style still centered on Psychic Power.
He planted himself in place, activated his barrier, and began taking control of the battlefield.
Guardian Barrier could block projectile-based attacks from monsters to the greatest extent possible, preventing stray attacks from hitting his teammates at the source. Even in areas without sunlight, Cheng Tian himself could enjoy an extra 60% mana regeneration bonus equivalent to being under deep sunlight. As long as he maintained the barrier, he could recover roughly 2,000 mana per minute.
Though he could not move around freely, that did not stop him from throwing small Heart Barriers everywhere. These small barriers would shatter on the spot after precisely blocking attacks the others had overlooked, but that tiny bit of cushioning was already enough for them to react afterward.
Aside from the few melee members still wielding katanas or greatswords, man-high shields stood in place like a shield wall. Even Mutated Monsters found it difficult to break through those highly defensive shields easily.
Behind the shields, ranged hunters had set up Light/Heavy Bowguns and were firing at full force.
Amid the sounds of shells launching, ammunition being reloaded, explosions, shields blocking attacks, and countless other noises, there were also full, lingering notes that carried nothing but pure rhythm. These Hunting Horns granted everyone on the field a series of buffs, including but not limited to increased attack and defense, improved natural health regeneration, Tremor Resistance, Wind Resistance, Earplugs, and more.
Some of those buffs lasted over a minute, while others lasted only dozens of seconds, but their effects could be continuously refreshed.
