Chapter 220: Chapter 116 The Final Long-Cherished Wish

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng was browsing through the latest strategy posts refreshed on the forum.

Following the Child Group players’ successful containment of the Scatter Arrow Soul, the forum initiated simulation tests and assessments of the new Life Soul.

As the 25th Primordial Monster contained by players, Scatter Arrow may appear to be an inconspicuous First Generation Origin.

Yet, the emergence of the Scatter Arrow Bow fulfilled a vacancy in Monster World’s occupational classification.

That is the long-range physical damage faction.

Based on tests by Strategy Party players on the forum, the Scatter Arrow Soul’s strength is very high, with Primordial Traits that can split any attack into multiple hits.

Even Magic players who embed it can achieve surprising effects.

For instance, after embedding Scatter Arrow, the Bone Fire Life Soul’s Ink Flame Fireball can activate the splitting of a Fireball into several pieces for an area attack.

Prior to this, Ink Flame attacks could only speed up the firing rate, with each Fireball being a single target attack. However, Scatter Arrow can split Ink Flame into a group Fireball Technique.

In terms of power, the Scatter Arrow Soul’s Rule characteristics ensure that each split ability retains 20% effectiveness, regardless of how many pieces it is split. The specific number of splits is influenced by the Life Soul Level of Scatter Arrow.

Or the Binding Soul, after adding Scatter Arrow, can turn a single-target immobilization into a group immobilization effect.

The only complaint for Magic players is that after leveling up the Scatter Arrow Soul, the main attribute that increases is not Spiritual Strength but Physical Fitness.

In the evaluations done by Strategy Party players, using Scatter Arrow as a primary weapon, each draw of the bow does not require loading an Arrow.

It will automatically draw Life Force from the player, condensing it into Qi-Blood Arrows for release.

Both the main attribute’s bonus ratio and the usage consumption of Scatter Arrow Bow’s traits align more closely with the physical faction.

This left many Magic players lamenting.

Such traits ideally suited for Magic Life Souls, yet in terms of attribute bonuses and trait consumption, do not match well with Magic occupations.

After half a day of testing, there are three Star Vein Combinations with the highest forum player approval ratings.

The first combination, proposed by "Dark Night Will Come", is: Artifact Spirit Burst Stream.

The Life Soul combination is: Scatter Arrow + Power Barbarian Axe + Shattering Blade + Soul Detachment Spear + Extreme Speed.

This Star Vein School focuses on explosive output, with the Scatter Arrow Bow providing long-range single target or group output, Power Barbarian Axe increasing physical damage values, Shattering enhancing numerical damage, and Soul Detachment Spear creating a spiritual shock.

It boasts extremely high damage output and can also inflict spiritual damage. The test results show excellent efficiency, with output rivaling mainstream Magic strength.

Lastly, with Extreme Speed, at critical moments, more than a dozen arrows can be shot in one second, leading to explosive damage.

The second combination was proposed by the Strategy Party forum player "Super God Chick": Functional Divine Arrows.

The pairing Life Souls are: Scatter Arrow + Shu Fu + Black Armored Snake (Fierce Poison) + Forbidden Blade.

Although this faction ranks second in likes, its comprehensive strength is even higher than the Burst Stream proposed by Dark Night Will Come.

Especially suitable for team combat.

The effect is a group special effect output through Scatter Arrow.

In the demonstrated footage, Super God Chick draws the bow and shoots ten Qi-Blood Arrows, each hitting a target in front of him.

The targeted individuals are simultaneously subjected to binding restrictions and afflicted with stacked damage effects from Fierce Poison and Forbidden Blade. During testing, its performance was eye-catching, with sustained output and functionality far surpassing Artifact Spirit Burst Stream.

The third ranked school was proposed by the Strategy Party forum player "Reading to Support a Family": Extreme Speed Ranger.

The Star Vein combination is: Scatter Arrow + Extreme Speed + Dusk Shadow + Energy Absorption.

This combination is not as strong on output as the two above, but it boasts better mobility.

Its feature allows for quick movement using the Dusk Shadow Life Soul, striking a high-frequency burst of damage after emerging, then switching back to Dusk Shadow to escape, utilizing the Energy Absorption trait to recover the Life Force lost from output, waiting for the opportunity to strike again.

The combination is more reminiscent of a remote assassin, very suitable for players who lack the skill but still wish to glide elegantly like an assassin.

Each of the three combinations has its strengths and weaknesses, but their performance in tests was superior to other combinations.

This also attracted many players to change their Star Vein Combinations.

Among them, like cute baby, who has always been waiting for the long-range physical faction, finally got the chance to change class.

The only drawback of the Scatter Arrow Bow is the hit rate.

For players who have experienced archer or other long-range physical output professions in other virtual games, they only need short training to skillfully use the Scatter Arrow Bow as a weapon.

However, for those who haven’t had the experience, it takes some time to practice and precisely hit their targets.

The appearance of the Scatter Arrow Bow also provides a new direction for growth in player corps’ combat professions.

As the number of contained Primordial Monsters increases, the choices for growth schools are showing a diversified development trend.

Beyond the overarching system of attack, defense, utility types, each system has spawned different gameplay schools, each with its advantages.

And this is precisely the development trend Qi Sheng wants to see.

In the future, players will face incredibly challenging tasks.

Horror Black Tide, Combat Insect Clan, Mechanical Army, Ancient God Race... and perhaps other more unknown forces are emerging in Monster World, but only with a diversified development of the Combat System can they face different styles of formidable enemies and adapt to complex combat environments.

Although the game has been open for over two months,

In Qi Sheng’s view, the development of the Player Corps is still at its initial stage, with many more aspects of combat capabilities yet to be expanded.
