Chapter 026 Nightmare Difficulty!
"I have 676 skill points now. I'll level up Lightning Bolt to level 20 first," Su Yu thought to himself.
Lightning Arrow is Su Yu's core area-of-effect attack skill. He's about to tackle Nightmare difficulty, so leveling up the skill is essential.
Keep in mind that the monster stats in Nightmare difficulty are definitely much higher than in Hard difficulty.
Without upgrading Lightning Bolt, it would be difficult to kill all targets in one go, since the final jump only deals 40% of the maximum damage.
Even though Su Yu's attack power has increased significantly, it would still be difficult for him to kill all the targets in one go.
[You have spent 40 skill points, increasing your Lightning Bolt level. Current level: 11!]
……
[You have spent 76 skill points, increasing your Lightning Bolt level. Current level: 20!]
【lv20 Lightning Arrow (Silver): Active skill, fires a lightning arrow, dealing 670+Physical Attack Power*215% lightning damage to the target, with a certain probability of causing paralysis.
After Lightning Bolt hits a target, it can jump between up to fifteen targets (a target can only take damage once), with subsequent damage reduced by 5% each time.
Costs 145 mana, 9-second cooldown.
[Level 10 Trait: After killing a target with Lightning Bolt, all mana cost of the skill will be immediately refunded, along with 50% of its cooldown.]
[Level 20 Trait: If Lightning Bolt's jump damage kills the target, the damage of the next jump will not be reduced.]
"Haha, the level 20 trait of Lightning Bolt is simply the finishing touch!" Su Yu said with a smile.
With the level 20 trait of Lightning Bolt, he no longer needs to worry about the drop-off of jump damage.
With his current attack power, a single lightning arrow would deal at least tens of thousands of damage.
Even the strongest monsters on Nightmare difficulty can't possibly have tens of thousands of health points.
This means that each jump of Lightning Bolt will deal maximum damage, which can instantly kill small monsters.
Furthermore, after Lightning Bolt reaches level 20, the number of targets it can jump to increases to 15.
This means that as long as the number of monsters is no more than 16, Su Yu can kill them all with a single lightning arrow.
This will definitely significantly improve his monster-killing efficiency.
After all, you no longer need to use basic attacks to finish off enemies, so the efficiency is absolutely phenomenal.
"I have 96 skill points left. I'll upgrade the Enhanced Arrow skill one more time and then I'll call it a day." Su Yu made the decision quickly.
[You have used 63 skill points to upgrade Powerful Arrow. Current level: 22!]
[Level 22 Powerful Arrow (Bronze): Passive skill, increases own critical hit rate by 110%.]
Then, Su Yu had a sudden thought and immediately left the instance.
Upon returning to Gale Plains, Su Yu did not hesitate and immediately chose to enter Nightmare difficulty.
After a moment of dizziness, Su Yu arrived at the Goblin Plains instance.
The environment remained the same as before, but the goblin minions in the distance had changed somewhat.
In addition to the goblin warriors and goblin mages we've seen before, Nightmare difficulty introduces a new goblin archer wielding a longbow.
On Hard difficulty, each monster gathering point has twelve monsters, including eight goblin warriors and four goblin mages.
However, in Nightmare difficulty, the number of monsters at each monster gathering point is increased to sixteen.
There are eight goblin warriors, four goblin mages, and four goblin archers.
[Level 7 Goblin Warrior (Normal)]
[HP: 6000/6000]
Physical Attack Power: 300
Physical Defense: 180; Magic Defense: 120
[Skills: Heavy Strike, Berserk]
……
[Level 7 Goblin Mage (Normal)]
[HP: 4000/4000]
[Magic Attack Power: 360]
Physical Defense: 120; Magic Defense: 180
[Skills: Fireball, Ice Arrow, Lightning Bolt]
……
[Level 7 Goblin Archer (Normal)]
[HP: 4000/4000]
Physical Attack Power: 360
Physical Defense: 120; Magic Defense: 120
[Skills: Double Shot, Critical Strike]
"Is this what Nightmare difficulty is like? Even the mobs are this strong. I can't imagine how strong the mobs are in Hell difficulty." Su Yu thought to himself with great emotion.
Any one of the monsters here could probably easily defeat a group of ordinary players.
Here, a full sixteen monsters gathered together, and even an elite player team would be no match for them.
Su Yu strongly suspects that the game "Immortality" was never intended for players to complete the Nightmare difficulty level.
"Luckily, I leveled up Lightning Arrow to level 20, otherwise it would have taken at least several seconds to clear out these monsters." Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.
Lightning Bolt!
With a thought, Su Yu sent a lightning arrow flying through the air.
boom!
-10576! (Critical Hit)
Zi la la!
-10576! (Critical Hit)
-10576! (Critical Hit)
-10576! (Critical Hit)
……
Arcs of electricity leaped wildly, each arc dealing maximum damage and guaranteeing a 100% critical hit.
In an instant, the goblin squad, which originally consisted of sixteen monsters, was completely wiped out, turning into a pile of black corpses.
Successfully defeated a level 7 Goblin Warrior (Normal difficulty). Gained 140 experience points. Defeating a higher-level Goblin Warrior grants an additional 70 experience points, 200 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
Successfully defeated a level 7 Goblin Mage (Normal difficulty). Gained 140 experience points. Defeating a higher-level Goblin Mage grants an additional 70 experience points and 1 skill point.
Successfully defeated a level 7 Goblin Archer (Normal difficulty). Gained 140 experience points. Defeating a higher-level Goblin Archer grants an additional 70 experience points, 200 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
……
A series of system notifications rang in Su Yu's ears.
"Killing someone one level higher grants an extra 50% experience points, so it seems I'll be able to reach level 7 soon," Su Yu thought to himself.
It takes 50,000 experience points to level up from level 6 to level 7.
Su Yu had gained over 30,000 experience points when he played on the hard difficulty.
He figured that if he cleared four more monster gathering points, he should be able to level up.
