40 Charm Skill (1/2)
“Have you fought this Boss before? Is this Boss difficult?” Moonlight saw that something was wrong based on Lu Li’s facial expression and sent him a private message.
“I have a friend who was in the beta that ran into this Boss. Its attack and defence is very ordinary, but it has a skill that is very hard to deal with…” Lu Li generally described what the Boss could do and saw that Moonlight was also frowning.
But Moonlight wasn’t disheartened, messaging back: “I heard from Azure Sea Breeze that you intend to make a fixed group. If you are, you will need someone to take on the role of commander. You cannot be hesitant like this. The question is simple, what do we give up and where can we attack back? Even if we lose, we only lose some exp. On this trip today, I’ve already gained more than 50% exp.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Li felt like his mind had cleared. That’s right, it was only some exp. He didn’t feel nervous anymore, instead clapping his hands and saying, “Let’s give it a shot. If anyone has any ideas speak up!”
“We’re waiting for your direction; how do we fight it?” This was the blind trust that Azure Sea Breeze had for Lu Li.
Lu Li waved his hand, saying, “Main Tank attack the Boss and receive healing, everyone else deal damage.”
“That’s it?” Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
“It’s my first time too; I don’t know what to do either. This Boss probably has Charm, so whoever is controlled will either heal it or attack us. If that happens, don’t panic. If a healer gets controlled, then we can use crowd control to stop it, but if an attacker gets controlled, we should all hide.”
The text that he read didn’t have any strategy written to beat the boss; it only described its despicable skill. As such, Lu Li could only arrange a countermeasure based on that description.
Although they were unwilling, they could only attack it with the standard method for now.
Azure Sea Breeze charged in and successfully stunned the Boss for a second. It looked like the Boss wasn’t immune to Crown Control.
Some Bosses in Dawn could be Crowd Controlled, but others had attributes that stopped this from happening. All you could do was hit them when they cast a spell, or counterattack with a Mage to cancel it.
There had been people who tried to take Professions with a higher number of crowd control abilities to control Bosses. However, they soon discovered that some Bosses were immune to crowd control skills. Moreover, attempting to use these skills on a Boss may cause it to go into berserk mode earlier and wreak havoc.
After Allen was stunned by Charge, Lu Li’s cast Cheap Shot, which only stunned for 2.5 seconds out of the usual 4 seconds. It appeared as though the Boss had some kind of gradual immunity to crowd control skills.
Fortunately, most Cynocephali’s had weak defense, and the Elder was no exception. Azure Sea Breeze could deal 3 damage, while Lu Li’s normal attack could deal around 5 damage.
However, its total HP was 45,000!
Not accounting for any incidents, it would take an hour if the 5 of them kept attacking it.
They didn’t have a choice though; the highest-level member was not even level 7 and the Boss was level 10. The difference in level was simply just too great. If the Boss was a wild beast that had high defence, there would be no chance of them ever taking it down.
“Dammit, this dog’s hits hurt. It’s much stronger than the turtle boss.” Azure Sea Breeze was knocked down by the Cynocephali Elder and lost 23 HP.
“Of course, it’s a level 10 Boss,” Lu Li responded.
“I’m really curious as to how yout beat the first Wild Boss,” Moonlight said.
“How else? The two of us just kept hitting until it died,” Azure Sea Breeze answered, “But that Boss was easier to kill, because its attack wasn’t very high and it didn’t have such a special skill. It just had high defence and a lot of HP.”
