After graduating for ten years, Luo Bo drifted through countless companies, yet remained a failure.
An unexpected event sent him back to that crossroad of graduation choices...
Luo Bo: ...
Compared to last year's procrastination, this year's Hawkfoot has added a lot of story collections and crossover activities to increase output, so the update of operators has also changed from about one month to more than half a month to release a new operator.
The Dragon Boat Festival just passed, and the Zaolu card pool ended just a week ago, and the Suzuran card pool has just arrived. Kada and Cliff, along with the event giving away Operator Yaye, are arriving with another side story, The Dusk of Warrenmud.
The players in the live broadcast room couldn't help but squeeze their wallets when watching the event preview.
"Hawkfoot has released operators so quickly this year. Last year, they only released 7 six-star operators, and this is already the 8th one, right?"
"Including the new lily of the valley, there are nine now."
"Yeah, this year plus the event is going to be re-released, so it looks like there are a lot more people lined up this year than last year."
"[Crying] I want new gameplay. When will the integrated strategy mentioned during the anniversary celebration be released?"
…
Luo Bo also has a deep memory of the integrated strategy. Eagle Foot became so popular thanks to this gameplay. However, it should be launched during the Chinese New Year, right?
Shaking my head to shake off those distracting thoughts, I took the audience to the updated announcement. In the Warrenmud storyline, the boss was a mudrock, and Robo initially thought it was a manly guy. But upon arriving on the island, he discovered it was a Sarkaz girl, instantly boosting his XP. Perhaps Su Ying could cosplay, but that would have to wait until the pandemic was over.
A week has flown by quickly, and the new operator, Suzuran, is definitely a must-draw card. Following Luo Bo's livestream suggestion, everyone should grab whatever they can, as they still have to prepare for the Summer Event. With Ark's current annual update schedule—Anniversary, Summer Event, Semi-Annual, and Annual—there are four double-up card pools to prepare for each year. Single-up cards during this period can only be selectively drawn, but those who spend a lot of money will, of course, want them all.
The new Leithania Gramophone has been added to the new map. This innovative mechanic also offers a number of low-level gameplay strategies. The Gramophone deals 5% of the enemy's maximum health, making it a great way to kill elite monsters. The only caveat is that the Gramophone is a neutral resource that can be captured by both sides, so you need to prevent the other side from reclaiming it.
"This level is interesting, and the difficulty is actually not too bad. You should be able to beat it without any homework." Robo happily placed the operators to fight for the phonograph, and the game really was too much like a tower defense game.
The audience looked at the gramophones and left comments saying they were so similar.
"[Eating melon] Isn't this just defending Mulebo?"
"[Funny] Does Mulebo need to be defended? Just put it through the blue gate and let Mulebo eat it alive."
"[Covering face] It's too rough, it really looks like it."
While leisurely watching the monsters being killed one by one by the Gramophone on the roadside, what Luo Bo didn't see was that a Winter Spirit Blood Witch quietly slipped over.
Just before being blocked, it exploded next to the phonograph, which instantly turned red and began to attack Robo's operators.
"Oh, damn. I missed a monster again without paying attention." Luo Bo continued to play happily in a hurry and occupied the phonograph again.
When they reached the final Mudrock level, Robo looked at the tightly wrapped boss and couldn't help but smile: "It seems from the plot that Mudrock is collaborating with Rhodes Island. Looks like we'll be heading to the island later."
The comments couldn't help but wonder what kind of person was under the huge package outside. Luo Bo didn't say much about it. It would be interesting to guess what he thought was the answer and then reveal the real answer.
Mudrock is really powerful when he is a BOSS. His built-in shield can not only increase damage and attack speed but also absorb spell damage. In addition, he can instantly seize the phonograph if he gets close to it, so it is still a little difficult to fight him.
However, Luo Bo was too lazy to go through so much trouble. The current players on the server all had high levels of training, so he didn't want to go to jail and play a low-level game.
Directly with warfarin and Saria, they used the phonograph and the lamb to evaporate the mudstone.
"Brothers, you all have more or less organized teams now. Either Mage Steam or Nightingale can play this. You can choose for yourself. Anyway, I will use Mage Steam to give you an example. It will be fine in this position. Further ahead, Mudrock will grab the Gramophone." Luo Bo also told the audience the points that needed attention.
After the battle, it is the popular card drawing session. As Suzuran is a must-draw operator, Robo must not be left out.
Maybe it’s because last year’s unlucky spirit has changed. From the anniversary celebration of Robo to now, I have been able to get the main body in 50 draws.
He is not trying to fill up the number now. The cost is at least 3,000 card draws per month, not including development.
Now only Tao Ge and Guo Jelly's accounts have been kept fully equipped. Luo Bo has no cooperation with the Peak Project now, so both of their accounts have not been handed over to the strategy team.
After the introduction of Suzuran’s strength in Robo’s live broadcast room, many people have recently fallen in love with this operator.
I haven't seen much use for the second skill yet, but the third skill is really useful. After it's activated, enemy units within range will have an additional 22 fragility. After the team of Mage and Angel of Death added this effect, many bosses were killed instantly.
Many people were stuck in the raid 7-18 for more than a month and they borrowed the big guys' lily of the valley to kill it instantly.
The strategy team naturally set their sights on this operator. After maxing out the account number, they tested the results in the contract's permanent residence, and they found that they were very promising.
The fragile buff, coupled with the 80-degree slowdown pause, can gather monsters and kill them instantly.
Although 70 seconds is a bit long, the first passive skill can increase the recovery speed by 0.4 per second, so it actually won't take that long to recover. The contract also adds another usable operator.
As time goes by, new contracts come in very quickly.
The second season of Operation Blade is here, the trailer has been released, and the strategy team continues to mobilize nervously.
Two of the first three contracts were obtained by individual players, which made many strategy teams feel a little uneasy.
Dianfeng originally wanted to invite Luo Bo to be a consultant again to co-create this issue, but after thinking it over again and again, he decided not to take action.
The strength of the newly promoted newcomers should not be underestimated, and Brother Yu is also deeply shocked by the inspiration and new ideas that burst out of the minds of these newcomers.
Luo Bo also saw this contract, but although he remembered it, he didn't want to play it again.
Firstly, it would take several days to warm up, and my current movie has reached a critical moment and I don’t have time to play.
Secondly, this contract is the first time that Peak has reached the top with full attributes, and it is impossible for me to do better than them, so I will just leave this opportunity to them.
This time, the peak team has used new members ahead of schedule, which seems to indicate that the peak five tigers will be online early. Luo Bo is also looking forward to seeing how long it will take for them to release the summit video.
