In the early days of the legendary world, the Taoist priest's summoning skills have always attracted much attention, especially the two killer features of summoning skeletons and chasing corpses. As a veteran, I know the difference, but many newcomers are skeptical. Even today, there are many veteran players who may not be able to figure out the difference between them, and it may be that "I will use which one is used by others"! Today I will re-examine these two skills.
What the two have in common is that they must first learn the Soul Dao Talisman, which is a prerequisite skill to unlock all summoning skills. But the key difference is that summoning skeletons and chasing corpses can't be learned at the same time, so you can only choose one or the other. So which one to choose? Let me use easy-to-understand language to dissect it from multiple dimensions.
Let's talk about driving out corpses first. As the name suggests, corpses must be present in order to be effective. You need to kill a monster first, use the corpse chase talisman on the corpse, and then "jump", and a small zombie will stand in front of you. Skills upgrade to practice more, kill more monsters and drive more corpses, it is a hard work.
So what are the advantages of chasing out corpses? Let me summarize three points for you. First, the attack power is higher than that of skeletons, which is more efficient when used for leveling. It's like you're driving a BMW faster than riding a shared bike. Second, it's inherently immune to the mage's holy word, and you know how deadly that spell can be to skeletons. Third, it can break the stealth and stand-in techniques of other Taoists, which is very useful when PK.
Sounds powerful, but it also has significant shortcomings. First of all, you can only summon one zombie, which is not numerous. Secondly, its leveling speed is relatively slow, and you have to keep killing monsters and chasing corpses. Finally, if you encounter a black-robed mage who will come back to life, you must destroy the corpse to subdue him.
In contrast, skeletons have the advantage of being simple to operate, summoning them as long as they consume blue, and do not require corpses. You can summon two skeletons, which are superior in number. It can be used for leveling, as well as for guarding and assisting, which is very useful. However, its attack power is not as high as that of a corpse, and it is not immune to mage's spells.
So, these two are like two sides of the same coin, each with its own pros and cons. Skeletons are more suitable if you like to be relaxed, and if you want to power out, choose to chase corpses. Of course, you'll need to experiment and research on whether they can break stealth and stand-ins.
Seeing this, new and old players should eliminate the confusion of choice. Finally, I will summarize it for you in popular language: skeletons are easy to feed, and the output of corpses is high. Which one you choose depends on whether you want to eat or become an MVP!
