Chapter 490: 490: Formulating Strategies



Remembering the general outline of the dungeon was quite impressive already, but the mechanics of this particular dungeon were still crystal clear to him.

The concept of the boss before and after activating the Array were entirely different, the difference was as stark as that between a difficult and a master-level difficulty.

This was the game’s first 25-man raid, let’s not even bring up those less experienced like Starfire. Even teams that had been coordinating for a long time couldn’t overcome this boss on the first attempt, it was simply ludicrous.

If it was that easy, there wouldn’t be such heated competition for the first kill, and the prize for the first kill wouldn’t be as valuable.

The Ancient Gods Company wouldn’t have created a game of such global significance this way, either.

In the end, they only managed to reduce the boss’ HP by 30%. Everyone ended up getting annihilated, even Li Yao with his three boss-level pets.

Everyone respawned and ran back to their corpses. The boss returned to the Array to draw power from their worshipped spirits, while the people of Starfire started a bonfire in the distance to rest.

The members of Starfire were already exhausted from dealing with the half army of 3,000 silver knights, let alone after going through a boss battle. Despite the battle being swift, it was mentally draining.

“This boss is insane. Compared to the bosses we’ve encountered in the past, this one is very weak. Is this really the first boss?” Guardian Angel, leaning against a large tree, spoke lazily. The previous battle had left him feeling defeated for the first time.

If he had died the first time without activating his Immovable Barrier, it would have been understandable. But the fact that he still perished under the boss’s skills after activating his Immovable Barrier made it clear to him that the barrier wasn’t invincible.

Of course, in front of Li Yao, his Immovable Barrier was also unable to withstand any attack. At level 20, having completed the profession task, he secretly challenged Li Yao, and the result was the same – a swift defeat.

Since then, he had ignored Li Yao and dropped the idea of comparing with freaks, only feeling the strength of the Immovable Barrier when fighting with others.

Having his barrier broken by the boss this time reined in his complacency and instead sparked his fighting spirit.

“This boss is truly extraordinary and is one of the strongest bosses we’ve encountered. After all, it’s the first boss of the level 20 mainline dungeon, there’s bound to be a show of force.” insisted Sister Li.

“This is only the first boss, probably not the hardest. After all, he is only a thousand-man commander. Even though we have the right method, it won’t be easy to achieve the first kill.” added Unparalleled Enchantress.

“What do we do then? This boss is too insane, both my Earth Element and Fire Element got instantly killed. Only Feng Yi’s Iron Stone Demon could take a few hits.” Dumbfounded Pupil was also pretty down.

Due to the extensive AoE attacks of this boss, her totems were continuously getting destroyed, significantly affecting her DPS output.

The rest of the members were also taken aback, they were being abused** by this boss. To this day, they didn’t know how to handle the boss’s bizarre skills.

Therefore, as they rested, they kept sneaking glances at Li Yao, who had been silent since the break, constantly sketching something on the ground.

Sister Li looked at Unparalleled Enchantress and asked, “Do you have any strategies or plans?”

Unparalleled Enchantress shrugged and answered, “I’m not omnipotent. For example, you are very skilled and can manage a myriad of guild matters. I, on the other hand, am good at PK and devising battle tactics and strategies. As for dungeons, we’re not clueless, but being top-notch is impossible. However, didn’t you all have immense faith in our guild leader? Seems like he’s already figured out a counter strategy.”

Feng Yi added, “Don’t look at me, I’m just doing the publicity and gathering information. I can explain how to play the dungeon, but I can’t devise a strategy, I’m not as good as you guys.”

At this moment, Li Yao looked up and noticed the low morale. He said, “Everyone, don’t be disheartened. This is, after all, the first 25-man team dungeon in Ancient Gods. If the boss was as simple as in the videos we watched, it wouldn’t be much fun. So, let’s all regroup. You don’t need to worry about anything for now. Take a good rest during this time. Those who want to log off can do so. Give me an hour, I have a lead now, still need to think it through.”

Hearing Li Yao say he had already figured out a method, the morale of Starfire’s members was instantly boosted and they no longer worried about the boss.

After all, Li Yao had secured so many first kills of the bosses, from the start of the game till now, Li Yao had been continuously securing first kills of high-level outdoor bosses. With such demonstrated strength, those in his guild naturally relaxed. They then began to rest whole-heartedly or log off, preparing for a real fight to take down the first boss in an hour.

Li Yao was indeed devising a new strategy. Having fought so many bosses, even if he forgot the player-devised strategies, coming up with his own method was still an effortless task.

After all, this so-called insane boss is relative to the current players. For him, a super player who had faced countless insane bosses, it really wasn’t a big deal.

Li Yao kept evaluating the feasibility of his planned strategies in his mind, and soon, an hour passed.

Li Yao finally opened his eyes, seeing everyone staring at him, he smiled slightly and said, “Alright, I’ve figured out a strategy. After some calculations, there shouldn’t be any major issues. You are all skilled players. As long as you follow my strategy strictly, I guarantee that within three attempts, we will definitely take down the boss.”

“Big Brother, just tell us the strategy. We believe in your method. Hurry up, I can’t wait anymore.” Dumbfounded Pupil urged.

Li Yao nodded and responded, “Sure, this boss seems very powerful, but if you find its patterns and weaknesses, it’s not difficult to defeat. First, I’ll talk about positioning and some specific details to note. We’ll follow my commands for the rest.”

Li Yao started drawing on the ground, describing their positioning and adjusting the healers in the team according to the profession and position adjustments.

As for the specific fighting method, Li Yao didn’t explain in detail. Even if he did, it would be pointless. It required his precise commands during the battle. Once the position problem was solved, the boss wouldn’t pose a challenge.

“Alright, now that you all know the general situation, let’s stand in the allocated positions before the boss fight. We’ll start immediately, aiming to take it down in one go.”…
