Then some friends might ask, this one doesn't seem very strong, could it be that there are some characteristics that can complement each other?
Yes, brother, yes.
Firstly, the Gunslinger feat can ignore the weapon's reload attribute, rendering this feature, which was originally intended to limit the weapon's strength, useless. This not only saves the action resources used for reloading, but also allows you to play Infinite Firepower without incurring any debuffs.
Secondly, as ranged weapons, firearms can also benefit from the Sharpshooter perk, ensuring their strength in the later stages of the game.
Then there's something rather counterintuitive: although it sounds unbelievable, firearms can actually be bound to the Sword Saint class of the Sword Saint Sect, meaning they can perfectly enjoy all the class characteristic bonuses of the Sword Saint Sect.
Don't ask me why, the rulebook doesn't say it's not allowed.
Finally, and most importantly, the Tasha Book expansion grants new features to Monks.
【Ki-Fueled Attack】
[Tier 3 Monk Trait]
If you spend 1 or more energy to perform an action during your turn, you may perform an attack with unarmed strike or a monk weapon before the end of your turn using a bonus action.
This is the legendary "Three-Shot Monk".
At level 5, you can fire three shots in a row. If you get right up close to the enemy, you can fire two shots with an action, and then kick them twice with the bonus action.
Both kicks can even be imbued with the Monk's own class trait, Stunning Fist, which consumes 1 point of Chi to allow the hit target to perform a Constitution Saving. If the Saving fails, the target is stunned and remains stunned until the end of the Monk's next turn.
Aside from the fact that the monk class's unique resource, Chi, is relatively scarce, it's incredibly underhanded.
It can be described as a typical example of overly strong construction.
While traditional monks were still leaping onto rooftops, our modern monks were already engaging in 3-on-17 gunfights in a single round, their surprise attack instantly killing the enemy amidst a hail of bullets.
Sir, times have changed!
Without even a moment's mourning for the deaths of the conservative warrior monks, the reformist Ashina-ryu warrior monks rushed to the battlefield!
In order to complete the build as soon as possible, he has basically chosen to increase his experience points along the way, except for a few high-value buffs. This allowed him to reach level 4 at level 20, and his experience bar was almost full.
Once I finish this match, I can directly level up to level 5 and get the second attack and the intimidation punch, and then I can officially take off and have a blast.
With such an incredible start, who can stop them?!
Ren Amamiya's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
Abstract flounder.jpg
Don't laugh, you'll be drooling if you come and play too.
He took two deep breaths to calm himself down and looked at the constantly changing names in the match list.
who can that be?
This time period...
[User 5912559]? [Great Demon Princess]? Or [Donats]?
As a master in the Rogue Pigeon game, he has basically fought against all the experienced tower climbers in this area and has a certain understanding of them.
Although the classes and buffs encountered each time are completely different due to randomness, a person's combat style and deck-building preferences will not actually change much.
[User 5912559] Only plays physical-type professions, specializing in surprise attacks and ambushes. He is probably a physical-type professional in real life as well.
Since the profile picture is the default one and the username is the default ID, it seems like the person isn't very tech-savvy... so they're probably older?
Then there's [Great Demon Princess]. Although it's a registered name, everyone knows she's Aya Udagawa from Roselia...it's practically the same as registering her real name online. True to her name, she excels at the synergy and coordination between spells, but for some reason, she prefers to use powerful spells to overwhelm and push through enemies rather than meticulously crafted, interconnected builds...
As for Donatz, he's completely unpredictable... His deck-building ideas are completely different each time, bizarre and sometimes incomprehensible, so never try to use common sense to guess what he's doing.
Just then, the names changing in the matching list suddenly stopped.
You have been matched with an equally matched opponent:
【Cursed Blade】
Who is this?
Ren Amamiya stared at the gray default profile picture.
I've never seen this before.
After a brief moment of relaxation, he quickly regained his vigilance.
With a thought, two pitchforks, completely black and exuding an ominous aura, appeared out of thin air in his hands, which he gripped tightly.
After being burned by user 5912559, he never dared to underestimate people who used the default avatar and looked like beginners again.
The surrounding scenery began to change rapidly. The boundless darkness turned into muddy soil, and specks of green sprouted from the mud, growing wildly at an extremely fast speed, turning into huge trees that blocked out the sky, forming a vast primeval forest with the intertwined roots of low shrubs.
Jungle...
Tall trees and complex terrain are well-suited to the highly mobile profession of monks, not to mention that dense vegetation provides natural shooting cover, making it an ideal condition for gunners.
Great, the advantage is in my hands!
Ren Amamiya immediately lowered his body and silently disappeared into the shadows like a cheetah, using the environment to move quickly and search for his opponent's tracks.
The ability [Wall Climbing] is obtained by monks at level 2.
Consuming 1 point of energy allows you to perform a retreat or sprint action as a bonus action, while also doubling your jump distance for that turn.
Before he could even begin his search, a thick, milky-white mist, seemingly impossible to dissolve, appeared out of nowhere from behind the trees not far ahead.
Are they inherent characteristics of the scene itself?
Ren Amamiya hesitated for only a moment before the white mist arrived in front of him, completely surrounding him.
With his vision obstructed by the fog, visibility instantly dropped to its lowest point. He could only raise his gun and cautiously survey his surroundings.
Just then, dozens of blurry black figures suddenly emerged from the fog in the distance, tearing through the thick fog and rushing towards him at an astonishing speed.
So fast!
Relying on his muscle memory-like combat skills, he instinctively raised his gun and fired.
Gunshots echoed through the silent jungle, lingering for a long time.
It seemed that quite a few dark figures died instantly and fell to the ground.
But more shadowy figures had already pierced through the fog and reached his side.
Only now did Ren Amamiya finally see the true faces of those dark figures—
That was actually...
cockroach?!
And these weren't ordinary cockroaches.
Its shiny body was covered with rotting pustules and venom sacs that stored poison. With each flap of its wings, it constantly released spores and a putrid stench.
A strong feeling of nausea suddenly surged up, causing Ren Amamiya to instinctively back away.
However, the little sprites from Guangdong, who had circled around from behind, had already taken the lead, swarming up and landing on his exposed skin.
The next second, a violent wave of dizziness suddenly hit me.
A green, translucent eye mark hung above his head.
Everything went completely black. My limbs felt as heavy as lead, and even raising my hands to resist seemed as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
He could only watch helplessly as those shiny "Guangdong little elves" swarmed over him, covering his arms, neck, and cheeks... accompanied by faint yet chilling gnawing sounds.
Meanwhile, the health bar in the upper left corner of his vision was plummeting at a visible speed, and before he could even react effectively, the health bar had been completely emptied.
Finally, he collapsed helplessly to the ground.
You have been killed by the "Cursed Blade".
[Settling your account...]
Ugh?
Ren Amamiya stared at the pop-up settlement page, still reeling, her mind blank.
?
what happened?
Where is my lucky draw?
------
"Hey? What's wrong with you?"
Koshimura bent down and stared blankly at the "corpse" lying on the ground, its face blurred as if censored, gradually turning into specks of light and dissipating.
He originally thought the jungle terrain was quite complex and wanted to send the flock out to explore the environment and, incidentally, confirm the other party's approximate location.
Unexpectedly, a kill notification popped up a while later, leaving him completely bewildered.
It still took him quite a while to finally find the other person's body.
In the end, the time spent searching was longer than the time spent killing the enemy.
Just then, the milky white mist around them finally began to slowly dissipate.
The fog wasn't part of the scene; it was a reward he received after defeating a fog monster mini-boss on the 10th floor.
[Divine Fog: At the start of the battle, a spherical area with a radius of 30 feet centered on you will be shrouded in a fog that only you can see through. The fog is equivalent to heavy concealment for you and will last until the end of your next turn.]
After confirming that the other party was indeed dead, Koshimura Sawa chose to leave the current floor.
The surrounding jungle scenery receded rapidly like a tide, returning to an endless expanse of black space.
He brought up his character panel.
[Registered Name: Cursed Blade]
【Class: Ranger (Group Shepherd) lv.3】
【力量：11(+0) 敏捷：17（+3） 体质：14（+2） 智力：10（+0） 感知：13（+1） 魅力：13（+1）】
The initial attributes in the Tower of Sages are not determined by purchasing points, but by rolling points, which is very much in line with the theme of randomness.
Objectively speaking, the attributes rolled out were unremarkable and not particularly outstanding. However, in the face of "Guangdong Little Elf", everything else seemed insignificant.
Not to mention...
Koshimura continued looking down.
In the buff section, besides [Heavenly Fog], there is a series of other traits.
[Blinding Dart: When you make an attack roll with your weapon and hit, throw 1d20. If the result is less than or equal to your proficiency bonus, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save fails, the target is blinded until the end of their next turn.]
[Mushroom Spore: When you make an attack roll with your weapon and hit, throw 1d20. If the result is less than or equal to your proficiency bonus, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save fails, the target is paralyzed until the end of their next turn.]
[Poisoned Blade: When you deal damage with your weapon, you deal an additional 1d4 points of acid damage]
[Self-Discipline Mark: You can directly cast "Hunter's Mark" on a target that the cluster is attacking, even when you cannot see the target.]
【…】
Since the [Guangdong Little Elf] attacks are guaranteed to hit, and are high-frequency but low-damage, he deliberately chose buffs that could stack more attack damage and effects.
In layman's terms, this refers to the attack speed effect build.
Compared to buffs with multiple mechanisms and effects, this simple and straightforward buff doesn't seem particularly rare, so it appears frequently, making him quite successful along the way.
After all, no matter how weak the additional damage is, it's still essentially free damage if it's guaranteed to hit and triggers frequently, so why not take it?
Just as Yuecun Ze was scrolling through the list, pondering how else he could optimize Yiqi Liu/Yi3 erwojiu 2, a friend request suddenly popped up.
[Joker: Hello (Request to add you as a friend)]
?
Isn't that the guy from earlier?
Koshimura Sawa hesitated for a moment, then chose to accept.
He opened the private chat window and was just about to greet the other person when they sent him a message.
Joker: Dense paraffin wax
Wow, they even use diplomacy first, then force!
