Tactical Analysis

OFA's overall strength was considered weak even among the four amateur teams in the entire group.

In their five-player, two-substitute lineup, the starters were almost as strong as the substitutes. And the substitutes were not the traditional sort of players—witches with finishing ability due to mana depletion and reduced vitality.

The Witch Agency's two substitutes both possessed powerful finishing capabilities, but were weak in head-on confrontations.

Although only half the lineup sent out by the Sea Shepherds consisted of main players, it had been carefully considered.

As a witch with formidable close-combat ability, coupled with all manner of magic-resistance buffs, Chu Yujun was exceptionally good at finishing off low-health witches.

Meanwhile, the starters were all witches with astonishing frontal combat ability, such as Lin Zhaojun, Histeria, and Lilian. Of the two newcomers, there was no need to say anything about Jiang Han's head-on strength. In Du Lingxuan's snide words, "Hehe, she only has head-on ability."

2. Match format: opening match, 3v3; five KOF matches; closing match, 3v3. The team that
