Chapter 392 Sharpened Mark Missile
The "Holy Slash" of the Paladin also requires mana to increase the lethality. For every 1 point of mana spent, an additional +1d6 light damage will be inflicted.
As we all know, many undead creatures have the weakness of "fear of light", the most typical of which is "vampires". Light attacks can cause double damage to them!
Gao Fei's "Warlock Mask" perfectly inherits the spells imitated in the game, including 0-ring "Flash" and "Whip of Thorns", 1-ring "Entanglement" and "Colorful Spray", plus the "Disguise" that comes with the imitator, which can be directly performed in reality.
For example, the simple and efficient control combo of "Entanglement" + "Whip of Thorns" is enough with 85 points of mana.
In comparison, the "Mage Mask" is much more troublesome. The only "Shield" is still being learned. As long as it is a little bit useful... it is not completely useless.
In addition to "Imitator" and "Dragon Warrior", Gao Fei has a third secondary profession that needs to be upgraded, which is "Astrologist".
"Astrologer" is a typical "premature ejaculation" profession that is very strong in the early stage and weak in the late stage. Is it worth wasting experience points for it?
It depends on how you define "early stage" and "late stage".
Level 1 is definitely the early stage, so is level 3 still considered the early stage?
What about level 5?
In fact, astrologers are worth cultivating until level 5.
At level 1, astrologers can release 1 "magic missile" for free. For every additional 1 point of magic value spent, 1 missile is added, up to 5.
At level 3, 3 free missiles are cast in one spell, with an additional +1 point of magic power and +1 missile, and the upper limit is still 5.
At level 5, 5 free missiles are cast in one spell, and they can no longer be increased by spending additional magic points later.
If you play "Astrologer" just to get free missiles, it is enough to upgrade to level 5 at most.
Gao Fei spent 900 experience points to upgrade "Astrologer" to level 3.
In his opinion, this is the most cost-effective upgrade plan.
When the "Astrologer" reaches level 3, he will automatically learn a very powerful professional ability, "Spell Sharpening"!
"Spell Sharpening" can calculate the charm modifier of the "Astrologer" into the spell damage, which is +3 for Gao Fei.
The 3rd-level "Astrologer" can also automatically learn the 1st-level "Identification" and the 2nd-level "Divination", showing the true nature of a fortune-teller.
"Identification" is a useless skill for Gao Fei.
If you want to identify magic items, it is more convenient to use the star disk directly.
"Divination" can predict whether something will go well or bad, and whether someone's situation will be good or bad in the next half hour.
Half an hour is too short and it is difficult to be useful.
In addition to these built-in garbage spells, the 3rd-level "Astrologer" can also choose a 0-level and a 1-level spell.
The bloodline spells that the astrologer can choose are mostly from the fields of "prophecy", "fate", "curse", "emblem", "terror", "stars", etc., which are generally not very powerful.
Fortunately, gold can be found occasionally among the gravel.
Gao Fei's chosen 0th level trick is "Dancing Lights", and his chosen 1st level spell is... "Mark of Fragility"!
Didn't expect it?
The list of bloodline spells that can be awakened by the astrologer includes "Mark of Fragility"!
The reason why Gao Fei spent precious experience points to upgrade the astrologer to level 3, in addition to getting the "Magic Missile" for free, is to get the "Mark of Fragility"!
To put it bluntly, it was for this dish of vinegar that this dumpling was made!
Now, Gao Fei's astrologer has collected the three magic weapons "Magic Missile", "Mark of Fragility" and "Spell Sharpening", what is the next step?
That's right, Gao Fei is going to copy the little ghost woman Eastna's signature skill in reality - "Sharpening Mark Missile"!
…
Sharpened Mark Missile = Fragile Mark + Spell Sharpening + Magic Missile
…
First, give the target a "Fragile Mark" to increase the damage by +1d6 when attacked, then release 3 magic missiles, and finally add the damage-increasing special effect of "Spell Sharpening", and the expected damage is as high as 30 points (6d6+9)!
This spell combo is not only powerful, but also cheap.
Magic Missile is free, Gao Fei only needs to spend 3 magic points to cast "Fragile Mark".
"Fragile Mark" lasts for up to one hour, and during this period, you can switch the marked target at any time. Usually, it is enough to use "Fragile Mark" once in a battle.
Gao Fei's level 3 Astrologer has 51 magic points, which can't be used up if it is only used to cast "Fragile Mark".
So when facing an enemy with high health and high defense, you might as well spend an extra 2 magic points to increase the magic missile to 5.
The expected damage of the enhanced "Sharpened Mark Missile" has been increased to 50 points (10d6+15)!
If the missile's automatic tracking, 100% accuracy and force field properties are also taken into account, this is definitely Gao Fei's most lethal tactical combination at this stage!
Even the boss-level characters in the game have only about 200 or 300 HP. If they don't have a buff like "Shield Spell" to specifically resist magic missiles in advance, how can they withstand several waves of "Sharpened Mark Missile" bombardment?
Tiangong Special Police recognized that "Astrologist" was strong in the early stage, but the evaluation was at most A-level.
Before today, Gao Fei also thought so.
Now he has refreshed his opinion.
If the "Sharpened Mark Missile" can be combined at level 3, the performance of the "Astrologer" is not only A-level, but definitely S-level - it's super powerful!
Gao Fei's "Astrologer" also has a magic pet, the winged cat Hu Zi.
As the level of the warlock increases, Hu Zi's life dice also increases to 3HD, agility attribute +1, natural defense +1, and life points increase to 18 points.
If one more life dice is added, Hu Zi can undergo a reborn evolution, with greatly improved attributes and natural defense, and the body size may also increase by one level.
However, if the astrologer is upgraded just for the evolution of the magic pet, Gao Fei feels that it is not worth it.
After thinking about it, Gao Fei came up with an idea that was almost "opportunistic".
In order to facilitate the business trip, Gao Fei has put Hu Zi into the "pet space" that comes with the star disk, chanted a spell to release it, stroked the furry cat head, cast a spell to cancel the magic pet contract between him and Hu Zi, and said hypocritically:
"Hu Zi, due to some unspeakable reasons, your father has to give up family affection and temporarily sever the father-son relationship with you. I hope you don't blame me."
"Meow?!"
The clever Hu Zi, who has 12 points of intelligence attributes and can communicate with Gao Fei telepathically, immediately raised his cat claws in anger when he learned that he didn't plan to keep him.
While Hu Zi was still angry, Gao Fei quickly switched his secondary profession to "mimic", put on the "warlock mask", and re-concluded a contract with Hu Zi.
