Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

But the Wave Slash was just the beginning, accompanying Lord Grim's attack. Lord Grim had already prepared his attack patterns for the subsequent strikes.

Glory boasts twenty-four classes, each with five low-level skills. In Lord Grim's hands, these one hundred and twenty low-level skills seemed perfectly integrated. The relentless attacks drew gasps from the audience. For a moment, they forgot about the outcome of the match; everyone's attention was focused on Lord Grim's combos.

Watching the seamless integration of skills from completely different professions leave the audience with only one thought: "Holy crap! This actually works?"

After all, all the combos Lord Grim was unleashing were unprecedented, yet these completely unseen combos were appearing one after another in Ye Xiu's hands. Watching these unfamiliar combos, the audience grew increasingly excited, as most players had never seen these novel tactics before. It wasn't until the Wuji Warlock's health bar turned red that the audience realized the match was still going on.

Of course, there are winners and losers in a match. Now, the Wuji Warlock's health is already at critical levels, but Lord Grim's combo continues.

Only then did the audience realize that they had been daydreaming for so long during the game!
Unlike the surprised audience, the members of the Wuji team looked quite grim. They took this match very seriously and wouldn't be distracted like the viewers. They observed the match more closely, which made them even more aware that their teammates were going to lose.

And that was indeed the case. As Lord Grim completed his close-range attack, the most terrifying aspect of the unaffiliated warriors was fully revealed to the Wuji team: their powerful and continuous attacks!
Although the calculation of combo counts in Glory can be interrupted for various reasons, these interrupted combos, while not recognized by the system, still have a real combo effect. This situation is called a pseudo-combo. Such pseudo-combos often occur because the player's dodge and block fail to achieve their intended effect. This makes pseudo-combos more dangerous than some regular combos in actual combat.

Leopold fell down.

Even after the match ended, the audience was only then jolted awake, realizing the terrifying nature of this playstyle. The most frustrated were the players who disliked Team Happy, as they had been so engrossed in the enemy characters' combos—it was somewhat embarrassing. Fortunately, it was an online match, and others couldn't see their progress through the characters.

As for the players of the Wuji team, their expressions were even worse, because they could see clearly that, faced with the opponent's attacks, their players were like sandbags that couldn't fight back, completely powerless to resist, and were continuously attacked until they died.

It was as if his existence was solely to highlight the opponent's strength. Despite having over 60% of his life force, he only managed to withstand a small amount of Lord Grim's mana, which was quite awkward.

That's right, that's the point. After all, Lord Grim's weapon is now at max level, and warlocks are the class with the lowest defense among cloth armor masters, so fighting them is really not difficult.

After offering a brief reassurance to their warlock, the Wuji members began preparing for the upcoming matches. Since arena battles are ultimately multi-player events, the Wuji members actively exchanged their insights on unaffiliated characters during the breaks between matches.

The second player to take the stage for Wuji was their Qigong master, He An, who was the core of their tactics and was naturally placed in the last position to defend the title.

After a brief exchange with He An, the Qigong master from Wuji took his seat to prepare for the competition. Seeing that the sorcerer still hadn't reacted, He An patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've done very well."

What He An said was indeed true, but it didn't help the warlock player at all; instead, it made him even more confused. After all, he hadn't dealt any damage to his opponent in this last match, so from that perspective, he played terribly. But He An continued, "Don't worry, we already have a way to deal with Lord Grim."

"What method?" Wuji asked, a hint of understanding finally appearing in his eyes.

“Our target is their blue bar!” He An said.

“Lord Grim can only use minor skills, so his attack power is limited. If we can wear down the opponent's mana bar as much as possible, we can still gain an advantage. Of course, it would be even better if we could have a chance to whittle down the opponent's health,” He An said.

After all, this is also a drawback of Lord Grim's solo playstyle, since low-level skills ultimately have limited damage.

At this point, it's necessary to continuously use low-level skills to compensate for the damage. Although professional matches allow players to bring potions into the game, there's a limit; each character only has one chance to use a potion. If Lord Grim had brought a health potion instead of a mana potion, then they would have a chance. (This isn't just idle speculation; this point is mentioned in Chapter 840 of the original novel regarding Lord Grim's weaknesses.)
"Oh right, how could I forget that? In this match, I should have focused on depleting the opponent's mana bar instead of their health." Wuji Warlock realized this and said with a look of regret.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. We just thought of it ourselves," He An comforted her.

After all, they knew too little about the unaffiliated class, and these were things they had only thought of during the discussion. The biggest challenge in taking on three opponents wasn't just health, but also mana. If mana wasn't allocated properly, it could easily lead to running out of mana at the end.

After all, health points can be consumed less through the player's skill, but mana points are something that must be consumed in every match.

This is why it's common for one player to take on two opponents in the professional scene, but it's extremely rare for one player to take on three.

In order to deal with their opponents, Wuji and his group prepared for a week. He An, who had defeated two people in the previous match and made it to the third match, naturally did not forget the amount of mana he had left at that time, and he had only just remembered it.

The match had already begun. Since he had already told his teammates about the current tactics, there was no need for him to say anything more shamelessly. After all, if the plan went smoothly, his teammates could consume half or even more of Lord Grim's mana in this match. In addition to the mana consumed when fighting the warlock, Lord Grim would have very limited mana by the time it was his turn.

After all, reducing the warlock's health by more than 60% consumes about 30% of Lord Grim's mana. If his teammates can reduce the opponent's mana by another half, then by the time it's his turn, the opponent might have less than 20% mana left, giving him a significant advantage.

As long as they can win the arena match, their team still has hope! (End of Chapter)
