The Lord Core had to be upgraded seven times in total, from E-rank to SSS-rank, and thus granted seven opportunities for improvement. However, the strength of these seven opportunities varied.
Hint: The genes of the legion-type units currently possessed are as follows:
Hint: In this world, legion-type units were ranked from one star to ten stars. ☆ represented half a star.
Basic Orc Gene
Legion: ☆ (determined the coordination and cooperation between legion-type units, and so on).
Strength: ★ (determined attack power, weapon and armor carrying capacity, explosive attack intensity and speed, and so on).
Speed: ★ (determined attack speed, individual short-distance running speed, evasion ability, and so on).
Mobility: ☆ (determined long-distance movement speed, the overall marching speed of the legion, and so on).
Survivability: ★☆ (determined health, core carrying capacity, physical defense, and so on).
Growth: -- (none; determined the extent to which the individual's overall combat power could grow later).
The Orc Gene was decent in only one aspect: survivability. This was also why, after upgrading the Lord Core, Su Xiao would stop producing orcs. Their foundation was simply too weak.
If orcs were compared with one of the highest-grade troops, the Wolf Cavalry, the contrast would be as follows.
Wolf Cavalry
Legion: ★★★★★★★★
Strength: ★★★★★★★
Speed: ★★★★★★★★★
Mobility: ★★★★★★★★★
Survivability: ★★★★★★★★
Growth: ★★★★★★★
Compared with the Wolf Cavalry, orcs were far too weak. The problem was that Su Xiao felt that even if he drew seven times, he might not obtain a top-tier unit like the Wolf Cavalry. Thus, continuing to improve the basic Orc unit was somewhat more reliable.
The Orc Gene would receive a D-level enhancement.
The orcs' overall strength received a "slight" increase.
The orcs gained the "Strong" trait.
Strong: All attributes of the orcs increased.
The Orc Gene would
