【Arthropod Killer I】
【Typhoon I】
Just looking at the attributes, you can tell that it is a top-quality rapier.
But the rapier made them all feel very embarrassed.
Mitt was the first to be kicked out of the distribution rights.
A one-handed rapier has something in common with a one-handed sword, but the similarities are not that great.
The one-handed sword is mainly used for slashing, while the rapier is more for stabbing.
Tongzi can be used, but not good at it.
What's more, she also had a rare one-handed sword, so she simply gave up on distributing it.
"No~"
Yuuki, who inexplicably obtained the "Gas Rapier", looked at the rapier for a long time, gestured repeatedly, then frowned slightly and switched it to his main weapon.
"Yuuki, is it okay to change weapons at this time?"
Lan asked.
"Although there are some problems, they are not serious. The most important thing is that I think it is possible..."
Yuuki unfolded her skill list.
[Armor Piercing (Level 25): When using a sword as the main weapon, when the additional attack lands on the point of the previous attack, a layer of BUFF with a damage increase of 7% is obtained, which can be stacked up to layers at most. The BUFF bonus effect is multiplication. If the combo exceeds three seconds or the attack is misplaced, all layers of BUFF will be eliminated. 】
When Yuuki used the rapier to thrust, she unexpectedly discovered that this weapon was particularly suitable for the "armor-piercing method" that she had trained.
The speed of stabbing is definitely faster than slashing, which is more conducive to point overlap and slightly reduces the demand for reaction ability.
The faster the attack speed, the greater the advantage you will have when facing elite monsters and BOSS monsters. It may be just a difference of one or two seconds, but it has determined the maximum output.
In the boss battles so far, the output environment for the boss at the critical moment is only a few seconds, and every second is crucial.
"It's good if you like it, but you have to refresh your weapon proficiency again."
Lan thought this matter was insignificant and continued, "It's only less than a month until the end of the test anyway."
"Less than a month?"
Yuuki looked up at the stone pillars reaching to the sky in the distance.
They are now on the fifth floor, and they still need to defeat six BOSS monsters to reach the eleventh floor.
The man named "Kayaba Akihiko" said that someone would be waiting for her on the eleventh floor.
And she had to get there within two months of the closed beta test period.
On the 40th day of the closed beta test, the fifth floor boss was defeated, and Yuuki stood at the forefront of the strategy group and pushed open the door to the sixth floor.
She also said frankly that any team that wanted to fight a BOSS could directly invite her and offer any reward they wanted.
Of course, even though it's casual, those who are capable of taking on the role of leader of a strategy group won't really be "casual" and will guarantee a rare protective gear as a gift.
Win or lose, just go and give.
Yuuki also changed into a set of rare protective gear.
It took him less than a day to reach the highest level of proficiency in the rapier, and he also used up the extra combat experience to learn the related skills.
"Ho ho ha hey!"
Yuki stabbed four times in a row, all of which hit the target, instantly killing the one-star elite monster Boar King on the first floor.
"There's really no benefit in fighting these monsters all day long."
Lan didn't understand Yuuki's intention. Ever since he conquered the fifth floor BOSS, he came to the first floor to practice his moves on the Boar King, whose attack pattern was monotonous.
"Hmm~ Sister Lan, you said, we are clearly playing a game with a high degree of freedom, why do the skills have to follow the system settings?"
Yuuki asked this question.
"Isn't this natural? Since you don't know swordsmanship, you must use the action assist that comes with the game."
Lan gave a reasonable explanation.
"What if I do?"
Yuuki asked back.
"Shouldn't you..."
Of course Lan knew her sister's personality, and she probably had some new ideas now.
“It seems very interesting.”
Yuuki opened the game's built-in browser, found a video tutorial on rapier-making on the Internet, and began to learn it in an earnest manner.
Because of the different shapes of the rapier, stabbing is a common move, and there are also multiple structural changes in this aspect.
"There are eleven ways to thrust alone."
Yuki observed for a long time, and compared the movements in the video, he suddenly felt familiar, then opened the skill list and found that some of the skill movement assists were similar to these basics.
She tried to draw the sword without relying on movement assistance, and her training stage skill of using a rapier with one hand suddenly lit up.
[Linear attack (level 70): Causes 100% to % damage of the attack. ]
He changed his posture and thrust his sword again, and the skill that was activated was still "Linear Attack".
Yuuki suddenly realized that there were ten auxiliary actions for "Linear Attack", and these ten attack methods corresponded to the eleven in the video guidance one by one. The only missing one was the skill "Angry Stab" that would light up after it was released.
"Instant burst of high-combo attack."
This kind of attack was still unfamiliar to Yuuki. Although he had performed multiple combos when using the katana, it was completely different from now.
That combo is very slow, only two swords can be launched in one and a half seconds.
It is called a two-hit skill only because the skill deals damage in two stages.
This was not the experience Yuuki needed at all.
Normal attack combo...
Yuuki suddenly thought of someone.
……
"...Mr. Mitt!"
Yuuki sought out Mite for advice. The latter's three-hit normal attack was still the burst move with the highest combo number. She felt that it had some similarities with the style of play she was pursuing.

……
"You asked me why I can play with the sickle so gracefully?"
Mitt and Yuuki sat on a bench, and she even handed the latter a glass of honey grapefruit water.
This is a famous specialty of the Third Floor.
"Well, I've been wanting to try a different style of fighting lately. Mainly because of the rapier I got a while ago, I really like it, so I couldn't help but practice some normal attack combos."
Yuuki praised, "Mit's three-hit normal attack is amazing no matter how many times I see it."
"Mine isn't really a special move. It's a built-in skill of my sickle weapon."
Mitt doesn't dare to brag.
"I have seen other Scythe players, but their attacks are all powerful single-stage bursts that harvest a large area. Even if they have combos, the intervals between them are very long. They are completely different from your style of play."
Yuuki said.
"Generally speaking, that's how the sickle is played."
Mitt himself thinks that he is an outlier. The skills of the sickle are basically inclined to instant burst, or it can be said that this is the main force. However, combo is a necessary link after all, but it is generally not taken seriously by sickle players because it is relatively difficult to learn.
It's basically impossible to delve so deeply into a game.
Only a game fan like Mitt would do that.
"Then can you explain the main points of your playing style?"
Yuuki asked expectantly.
"It's not a big deal, and someone else taught me this, so it's okay to tell you."
Mitt's basics were taught by Yuzuru. She was extremely grateful to him and hoped to be a generous person. So she stood up, picked up the sickle, and told Yuuki: "The reason why I can perform three consecutive attacks in an instant is that the key lies in the transformation skill of the sickle weapon itself. When I swing down the 'cut', I twist my body along the way, and the 'edge' at the bottom of the handle will get closer to the target. The tip will pass over the target and I can hit it head-on with the 'blade'. This is the complete process."
“Although I have never used a one-handed sword or other weapons, I personally feel that since they are weapons, there must be similarities. One necessary point is whether we are familiar with the weapons in our hands.”
"The gesture of holding the knife handle and the posture of attacking are all important links. They are all part of our procedure of launching an attack."
"It's like a sword. Although I don't know how to make a more powerful attack after a slash, I know that the fastest attack must be a reverse sword attack along the line of the slash. The smaller the amplitude, the less time it takes."
"Although the difference is only a few tenths of a second, or even a few tenths of a second, in a coherent process, it will be infinitely magnified, from tiny to smaller, until it becomes large enough to affect what we need."
……
Yuuki listened attentively to Mitte's speech and took note of it.
"I see."
Even started to sigh.
"This is just my personal opinion. You can just listen to it casually. There is no need to take it so seriously..."
Seeing Yuuki taking notes, Mitt felt even more embarrassed.
Drop drop drop drop.
The two had not been talking for long when Yuki's friend list suddenly flashed. It turned out to be Lan who was looking for her who had sneaked out.
"Looks like I have to go back first. Thank you for today, Mr. Mitt."
Yuuki stood up to express his gratitude, then picked up a crystal and teleported.
"This kid is much more polite than that guy in black."
Mitt did not forget to talk about Tongzi.
……
at the same time.
"...A sneeze!"
Kiriko sneezed while fighting in the maze. Could this abnormal behavior also occur in the game? Could it be that something went wrong in reality?
……
When the players entered the sixth floor of Aincrad, Yuzhongjin also practiced alone in the arena for twenty-five days.
The skill proficiency of skill "One Style" was raised to more than 700,000, an average of 28,000 points per day.
[Exploration Mission: God of Hunting 1]
[Quest requirements: Eliminate 1000 (416/1000) elite monsters in the dungeon alone.]
Each training session will generate three elite monsters, and four or even more sessions can be conducted in a day, resulting in a significant increase in the progress of task completion.
Occasionally, he would take some time out from his busy schedule to run into Aincrad and take a few turns to check out what was going on.
There are only twenty days left until the end of the closed beta test, and there are still five BOSSes on the sixth to eleventh floors. Judging from the current speed, it seems to be enough.
But some things are not simple.
The mechanism of SAO is not static.
The first to ninth floors are the beginning of the training stage, and the bosses during this period are relatively conventional.
But the tenth floor is the real stage of advancement, and the difficulty there will become more complicated.
Hope everyone is okay?
While Fu Fu was resting from exhaustion, Yu Zhongjin also logged into Aincrad. As soon as he came online, he received several messages, most of which were from Mitt.
"Miss Miko!"
