The Advantage of Ranged, A Practical Drill

At this point, "Yes Yes Yes??" added, "We are equally determined to get the Berserker's equipment."

"Although my cousin has done the easy difficulty dungeons, he still told me to do my best."

"Looks like getting a suitable piece of equipment isn't easy," sighed "Utterly Empty." "Then let's rely on our own abilities!"

He genuinely hoped to acquire a few high-level, Rare Tier pieces of equipment, not only for himself but also because the guild to which his family belonged had high expectations of him.

Reality has entered the stage of "playing PUBG and running from the poison gas".

In fact, this situation is not surprising to many large families and high-ranking officials.

Ever since the "God's Domain" game and the appearance of that alien, a very small number of high-ranking officials who knew a little bit of inside information began to plan ahead.

Because for anything beyond our control, we should prioritize considering the worst possible outcome.

Only in this way can we have a clear understanding of the situation.

And reality has indeed worsened to the worst possible outcome.

Now, Utterly Empty recalled the serious instructions from his elder brother and father in reality, and he couldn't help but tense up.

When the father and elder brother started talking about serious matters, their aura was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.

Utterly Empty, he sighed again: Luckily, his mission lines were not the same as theirs, so he didn't have to constantly improve his strength under their supervision.

Otherwise, he would probably have to bury himself in training all day long, just like the collateral descendants and mercenaries in the clan, without a moment's rest.

"Everyone understands the allocation rules, right? I won't repeat them."

"If everything's alright, get ready to engage the monsters. Everyone, prepare your Gold Coin; I'm about to begin."

Zhang Mingzhen then officially started the Team Dungeon.

On the other end.

The other pioneering teams have also completed their pre-battle preparations.

"Dragon Diagram Frenzy", "Qin Xiao Youhui", "Hero War Sky"... These people are attempting to clear the dungeon independently.

It would have been safer to include a ranged magic-based class.

However, "Wushuang Zhiyu" joined in, insisting that in the past, others had followed the great Chongxing to Chongxing, and he hadn't even had the chance to observe the boss's battles or participate in equipment auctions. This time, he was determined to squeeze into this raiding group.

Given the unspeakable nature of some of the deals, they had no choice but to agree.

Ultimately, this is the lineup we can only settle on for now.

"I mentioned Chongxing this dungeon is more friendly to ranged classes, so Berserker, you need to be extra careful and not mess things up at crucial moments."

"We two archers, at least we have ranged attacks, so it'll be easier for us than for you," Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven reminded them.

"Don't worry, I've done so many games with Chongxing, I know what I'm doing."

"Our Berserkers' burst damage is no weaker than that of archers, and your archers' short-term output may not be able to match mine," Dragon Diagram Frenzy said confidently.

"Hero Steel Bone" clearly disagreed. "The archer class is suitable for both melee and ranged combat, and can be proficient in both physical and magical attacks. They are known as the darlings of the God's Domain, so you don't need to worry about their damage output."

"Besides, we've all reached level 36, and we've also bid on a few pieces of silver-quality equipment from Chongxing, so our chances of clearing the dungeon are pretty good."

"By the way, is this your first time in this dungeon, Seaside Wave? Let's play it safe and proceed slowly."

"My Home by Seaside Wave," but at this moment, I do feel a little uncertain.

Despite his teammates having repeatedly explained the boss's various skill mechanics, he couldn't help but feel somewhat lacking in confidence after hearing that the dungeon was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, as the leader of the association, he was not easily discouraged.

"I will remain focused throughout the process. If there is any delay in the treatment, please remember to administer the medication promptly."

"Of course, we've already prepared enough medicine. We're planning to spend the whole day here."

"The big event has just ended, and everyone else in the guild is resting. Only a few of us can spare this much time."

"Now that we're all prepared, let's start by clearing out the mobs at the entrance."

"We've played Hell difficulty with Chongxing before, so the number of mobs on Normal difficulty should be significantly reduced."

"Qin Xiao, you go and lure the monster to test it out."

"Good."

"Qin Xiao Youhui" cautiously stepped forward to trigger the enemy formation. He saw Black Mist spreading across the ground, with wisps of mist condensing into dozens of demonic creatures, the total number of which should not have exceeded one hundred.

Apart from the Seaside Wave, the others remained relatively calm upon seeing the scale of the waves.

"Don't rush to heal, wait until I've established aggro before you start healing."

"Have your ultimate moves ready!"

The group began to act according to the strategy they had devised before entering the instance.

Things are different now; they are all much more cautious and serious, completely lacking the playful attitude they used to have.

Because this is a kind of advance rehearsal.

Some have speculated that the monsters that appear in games may also appear in the real world.

Compared to Hell difficulty, these ordinary monsters have neither amazing movement speed nor the ability to force a charge; they are simply ordinary monsters with high defense.

By skillfully maneuvering and dodging, you can significantly reduce the damage you take.

After taking a potion that enhances healing effects, "Seaside Wave" casts an area-of-effect healing spell and summons its Warcraft to assist in the battle.

His pet is a Bubble Water Snake, a water-type Warcraft, which has the special ability to convert a proportion of the damage it takes into its own health.

Therefore, they are often used by Healing Class players as meat shields to draw enemy fire.

Releasing "Bubble Water Snake" at this moment can not only shield teammates from attacks by monsters, but also allow the user to heal themselves, preventing them from dying in the short term.

This gives the Seaside Wave ample time to steadily raise the entire team's health.

In reality, this is also a very good tactic.

In reality, survival is the top priority.

"I didn't expect your pet to be so resilient; it even managed to withstand charging into a horde of monsters."

"I'm even considering getting one myself," War Sky said with a hint of envy.

"Absolutely unnecessary. It survived entirely thanks to my treatment."

"The biggest advantage of this Warcraft is its high health and some self-healing ability, making it more suitable for the Priest class."

"It's not very useful for damage-dealing classes like you to carry it, because you can't heal it, and it will die very quickly."

Upon further reflection, Steel Bone realized that this was indeed the case.

If you lack Healing Ability, and your pet offers limited help if it doesn't provide any output value, then your assistance is limited.

He also summoned his pet—a Rolling Stone Beast.

The "Rolling Stone Beast" not only has extremely high defense, but can also hurl a large number of stones to bombard enemies, causing considerable area damage. It is a rare type of Warcraft that combines offense and defense, and only occasionally appears in the Weekly Dungeon auctions of Fragrant Cloud Auction House.

Seeing that the two had already summoned their pets, the other three also summoned their respective companions.

Dragon Diagram Frenzy's weapon is a flying Warcraft called "Giant Tower Bird," which can unleash fire-based attacks. It was also obtained through an auction at Fragrant Cloud Auction House.

The battle pet of "Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven" is a venomous scorpion, whose attacks are highly poisonous, especially deadly to fragile players such as archers and assassins.

Therefore, these players always carry a variety of antidotes in their bags.

This is because the God's Domain is home to a great variety of Warcraft, and the deadly poisons are even more bizarre and varied.

The pet that Qin Xiao Youhui possesses is a rare Healing- type Warcraft, which he obtained from within the guild.

This beast is called a "Bloodsucking Bug." It is tiny and can usually hide on the player's person.

When a player's health is low, it can convert its own health into supplies for the player in proportion, a skill that is incredibly powerful.

Normally, it absorbs the player's health, giving you a health-reducing buff.

Of course, it also has weaknesses: despite its high health, its defense is extremely low, and if targeted, it will often crumble in one hit.

Therefore, it is more suitable for use with high-defense, high-health classes such as Shield Guard.

After summoning their respective battle pets, the team swept across the land like Jifeng, quickly clearing out all the monsters along the way.

The conversation then focused on the Healing Warcraft "Qin Xiao Youhui"—it was the first time they had ever seen such a rare species in person.

"Where did you get such a Healing magical Warcraft? It's incredibly rare."

The players, who were primarily DPS classes, looked on with envy.

After all, having a Healing -type battle pet, if used properly, is equivalent to having healing skills with you, making one person do the work of two.

In this game, almost every DPS class, except for Priest, dreams of owning such a Warcraft.

Unfortunately, no such wild monster has ever been found during field explorations, let alone tamed.

Seeing the envious and jealous looks in the eyes of others, Qin Xiao Youhui and smugness.

"I didn't find it; it's supplies circulating within the guild."

"This was hatched from Warcraft egg that the guild exchanged using contribution points during the last 'Dragon Slayer' event—we never expected to hatch Healing- type monster."

"Damn, looks like there are some benefits to participating in lotteries."

He had simply chosen the name of the Warcraft egg randomly, but unexpectedly, he won the bet.

The other members of the guild envied his good fortune.

He didn't exchange for this egg; the guild exchanged it, and it became a reward for him for exchanging defensive array diagrams for the guild.

The guild also provides the Experience Pill for training Warcraft.

He himself had no ties, so handing over the formation diagram to the Legion wasn't a loss for him; on the contrary, he received this unexpected bonus.

Little did he know that the more he gave, the more he was looked down upon.

Qin Xiao Youhui chuckled as he gently stroked the little bug perched on his shoulder.

Those around him, seeing him smiling gently at a plump worm, got goosebumps and quickly changed the subject.

"I didn't expect the Warcraft eggs given away in the event to be so powerful. It seems that we should never underestimate the rewards of any event in the future—this applies to fashion items as well as Warcraft eggs."

"Yes, I wonder if the 'Dragon Slaying' event will be held again."

"If we have another chance, everyone's combat power will be higher, and we'll have more choices. We'll definitely want to upgrade our costumes, Summoned Beast, and equipment!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

The group continued deeper, clearing out smaller monsters as they made their way towards the lair of their first boss— the Sandstorm Beast.

"I heard Chongxing mention that this enemy has high health and defense, so we'll just whittle it down slowly, and we absolutely mustn't lose any members."

"Understood, we'll try to output remotely."

"Dragon Diagram Frenzy, be careful."

The group stood at a distance, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

"Qin Xiao Youhui" was the first to charge forward with his shield, drawing the enemy in, and Seaside Wave immediately followed, ready to heal.

The Sandstorm Beast slammed into Qin Xiao, but was fortunately blocked by his shield. However, his health plummeted, and Seaside Wave had to continuously cast healing spells to stabilize his life.

"The damage is too high, I can only focus on healing Qin Xiao!"

"I'll set up a healing area, so be careful with your positioning and avoid getting hit repeatedly!"

Of the remaining people, the two archers remained relatively safe, relying on ranged physical and magical attacks.

No wonder players on forums often joke that archers are the "favored child" class—they have no obvious weaknesses or fatal flaws, making them seem like an overpowered character.

Indeed, apart from the complex skills and high operational requirements, this profession is almost flawless.

And it's relatively safe.

In reality, this is similar to a gun facing off against a melee weapon.

The development of modern weapons is about using long-range weapons to engage close-range targets and conducting precision strikes from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, a full-screen ultimate attack was unleashed, leaving everyone with nowhere to hide and all of them with Canxue.

"Seaside Wave" couldn't heal in time, the main tank fell, and the team was wiped out.

"Depend on..."

After everyone complained, they discussed the situation and decided to use healing items to save themselves during the ultimate skill attack that filled the screen.

During the second challenge, the situation was slightly more stable, although he was caught off guard by the "Dragon Diagram Frenzy" and was killed.

However, the remaining team members took turns tanking the damage to buy time for the Priest to revive his teammates.

After a period of chaos, the battle lines were finally stabilized.

After dealing with a series of combo attacks multiple times, the group gradually figured out the trick, and things became much easier afterward.

What follows is the long output phase.

Because they dared not be reckless, the team did not deal much damage, and it took them more than an hour to defeat the BOSS.

In the end, almost everyone became somewhat mechanically numb.

Hero War Sky said helplessly, "Several times I almost got sent back to the respawn point."

"Damn, this is Farm BOSS is all about!"

"In the past, I always hired power levelers for games."

"Now look what's happened, we have to do it ourselves."

Another voice chimed in, full of helplessness. "Is this boss specifically targeting melee classes? I was on edge the whole time. My hands were okay, but my head was throbbing... Ranged classes are definitely more comfortable."

The one under the most pressure in the team is undoubtedly Dragon Diagram Frenzy.

He had to unleash a barrage of attacks while simultaneously and precisely avoid every single hit; any slight mistake could result in his immediate demise with no chance of recovery.

In reality, this is also true.

One wrong move and you could die.

"You at least contributed a considerable amount of damage," "Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven" stared at his third-place ranking on the damage list, paused for a moment, and said, "We ranged magic users often need to get close to unleash many high-damage skills, so we can't deal all the damage."

"And there's also the issue of MISS."

"Perhaps we should try close combat next time. If you can do it, we can too."

"That's right," Hero Steel Bone agreed, "It's better to engage in close combat together than to waste time like this."

The Seaside Wave nearby hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him, "Please don't! One Berserker is already making me very nervous. I have to maintain maximum healing while constantly monitoring his health."

"If he falls, I'll have to keep the leader occupied and find an opening to resurrect him. If I'm not careful, we'll all be wiped out."

"Although the game is progressing slowly right now, at least it's a safer approach."

"It's not too late to try to break through when we've improved our strength a bit more."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense.

Since this is my first time personally challenging this dungeon, a steady and cautious approach is the best strategy.

Next time, it's best to stick to the old ways and not be rash.
