Foreword: Welcome to the 18th issue of "Steam Dragon" held by Dragon Million, this issue shares the mage career strategy in the old man's ring, a simple sentence to summarize, want to play mage in "Eldon's Ring"? First read this 1500-word article!
As the opening date approaches, more and more players begin to discuss the career options in the "Eldon Ring", I believe that compared to the rough knights and handsome samurai, there should also be many players who are interested in mages who can cast spells. Just write a mage guide, the following content is based on my experience playing Soul 3 and the beta version of the Ring of Fame (hereinafter referred to as the Ring of Law) to summarize. Note: There will be no spoilers to important plots, please feel free to watch.
It mainly introduces the basic knowledge of mages, what is the difference between souls and ring mages, and how Pioneer should play mages.
The basics of a mage
Let's answer a common question first: If you play Mage, does Eldon's Ring become a simple mode? Unfortunately, this game is not as simple as you think.
Mages do have a powerful ranged advantage, as long as the guerrilla war can greatly increase the fault tolerance rate, but the mage in the early stage of the pioneer magic damage and blue bars and blue water are not enough, it is difficult to rely on magic alone to fight the world. Mages are usually born with low blood tolerance and other qualities, so they will be caught in a dilemma in the early stages because of matching points and propulsion.
If the player has a high blood resistance point, although you are not afraid of the enemy killing you, you will find that the enemy is still alive and well after 5 minutes of fighting. If the player raises the intelligence point, although the magic output is very good, but the enemy casually shoots you will probably return to the west. Therefore, in the early stages, it is basically melee mixed ranged gameplay, and magic is only advantageous for bosses and elite monsters.
In addition, "Eldon's Ring" is an RPG game, there is a so-called attribute phase, in terms of Soul 3, at least 3 bosses have a high magic resistance physique, which makes the mage have to change other output means when playing bosses, so the mage is indeed a profession that requires high intelligence to play, but as long as you have experienced the early pain period, then congratulations.... You will become a mobile battery that wanders the world.
Soul 3 is different from the mage of the Ring
First of all, the magic advantage of the ring is that it casts quickly
Soul 3's spells have the so-called chant problem, the player must rely on abilities or props to achieve rapid casting, so many times the monsters are pasted on your face, your magic is blasted out, and the magic ring casting is basically very fast to release.
There is also a point that the spell casting will only consume magic and do not consume patience, and the player will deduct endurance together when casting spells in the soul, which can easily cause the player to have no endurance to dodge the boss's attack after output. In addition to this, the Ring of Law also has a lot of melee magic and charge magic, which allow players to use powerful attacks and quickly withdraw when they are close to them, making the mage's survival rate higher and more varied. Note: These are only known in the beta version, the official version has more magic and more gameplay.
Speaking of survival rates, the Ring of Law also has the advantage of the columbarium system and horseback riding. Generally speaking, if a mage wants to concentrate on casting spells, he needs to have a special one that attracts hatred, and the ring can summon souls, so the advantages of ranged attacks can be used well. More reflective of the advantages of long-range is horseback riding, which can cast magic, so mages no longer need to worry about being chased by monsters in the wild. In addition, this time, the craft team will place special scarab beetles in the wild, which can restore the number of water bottles after being killed, which also makes the player more comfortable when exploring. Based on the above points, it can be seen that this time the production team said to reduce the difficulty and make the game civilian, which is not a joke at all, if the player knows how to use it, choosing a mage may be happier than playing Soul 3.
Mage Pioneering suggestion
The suitable opening backgrounds for mages are: astrologer and prisoner.
Astrologers are very traditional pure mages, mainly relying on magic to fight the world. The author suggests that you can put the blood tolerance point to 20 to 30, and after having a basic fault tolerance rate, you can start investing in intelligence and learning powerful magic. In the early stage, find a suitable melee weapon that can be used to prevent monsters and save demons, and the longsword is a good choice. In addition, it is best to choose ashes related to mana, so that the damage will be high.
Prisoners are Zhi Min characters, which should be equivalent to the previous secret agent roles. Due to the slightly higher agility, sensitive weapons can be selected for weapons.
Although magic alone may not be as strong astrology, it can add more melee weapons under the premise of magic, of course, you can also choose another origin, and then turn into a mage in the later stage by matching points. Or conversely, if you are a Gandalf with the original advantage of the Fa lineage, you can choose the golden seed for the gift of birth, and the seed can increase the number of potion bottles, after all, the mage will use blue water, and the more potions the better.
Mages eat by magic, and when they get to the big map, they must first find NPCs who can learn magic.
In the beta version, for example, the player can find the initial magic teacher after winning a small boss at position 7 in the figure.
Finally, Dragon Million tells you in 1500 words how the mage in Eldon's Ring plays, of course, this is just my own feelings. Well, that's all, and then I'll keep bringing the practical dry goods in the Ring of Laws game, and players who like it remember to pay attention.
