Compared with the other formations of the Four Symbols Array.
The Black Tortoise Array appeared rather clumsy.
It excelled at defense but lacked offensive power.
This was because half of the Black Tortoise's offensive strength came from the snake on its back. Most hunter teams carried out missions in a standard five-person formation. For registered wizards, five people could only construct the simplest Black Tortoise Array. When such an array operated, there was generally no spare strength to manifest the snake upon the turtle's back.
But if special circumstances arose.
For instance, if someone on the hunter team was injured and the five-person array could not operate smoothly, or if the hunting ground's situation was unclear and the team needed to maintain an offensive mode while deploying a defensive formation, the Black Tortoise Array revealed its advantages instead—three hunters, arranged in a Three Talents structure, could support the Black Tortoise True Body in a defensive state. The only drawback was that this Black Tortoise had no mobility. The remaining two hunters could leave the turtle's body, climb onto its back, and construct the Black Serpent Array.
Three people defended.
Two attacked.
At present, the You Zui Hunter Team had activated this formation. Those within the array switched positions, and after Xiao Xiao and Fat Wizard reached the turtle's back, they did not draw upon the battle array's power to condense the Black Serpent's manifestation. Instead, concealed by the membranous covering, they set up a square table on the turtle's back.
