Although Waterfall would deal tremendous damage after being boosted by Swords Dance, thinking that alone could defeat Gligar would be underestimating He Xisong far too much.
What Cheng Tian and Frogadier sought was a one-hit knockout, settling everything in a single strike. It had to be said that they had genuinely come close.
First, they wore Gligar down with Waterfall, then caught it off guard with Liquidation, determined to finish it in one hit. The decisiveness with which Frogadier unleashed its moves was just like that of a truly outstanding ninja, an assassin.
There was a reason Cheng Tian had saved the main event for that final Liquidation. Frogadier still had to meet many requirements to use Liquidation at its current stage, one of which was a requirement for momentum, just like Waterfall.
Waterfall was manageable: with the benefit of Swords Dance, it mostly only needed momentum to support it. Liquidation, however, was not so simple.
First, this was a physical Water-type move that required attacking with the body. Though its attack power was formidable, the strain it placed on the user's body was considerable, let alone when used under the effects of multiple Swords Dances. That would put an enormous strain on its leg, and one wrong move could mean inflicting a thousand wounds on the enemy while suffering eight hundred itself.
Yet high risks brought high returns. For now, Frogadier could only use this move once, but the results it could achieve were striking.
He Xisong's judgment had been correct. A level 38 Gligar could not withstand a Liquidation of this magnitude, so he had decisively ordered Substitute just now. Otherwise, Gligar really would have been knocked out in a single hit.
Gligar's innocent expression had also turned to anger. Now, it was its turn to attack.
"Gligar!"
