248. Muko

The registration for the combat tournament is only until tomorrow.

I need to level up my skills by then, but the grasslands are too crowded.

After all, those who started early have the advantage.

249. Kasasagi

>>248

More worrying are those who play to the point of neglecting sleep.

250. Ronin 2

>>249

You're one of those people too.

I don't have the right to criticize others, though.

251. Tsuchizuki

>>250

More importantly, have you figured out the requirements for obtaining 【Dual Wield】?

I'm really curious.

252. Suzune

I apparently met the requirements for obtaining 【Dual Wield】.

It became available today.

But I haven't taken it yet.

Because I use a spear.

253. Kukai

It became available for me today too.

But I haven't taken it yet.

Because I use a bow.

254. Tsuchizuki

>>252-253

You guys...

Give it to me...・゜・(ノД`)・゜・

255. Saki

I can also obtain 【Dual Wield】 but haven't taken it.

I use a small sword and a shield, so I could take it, but I'm a tank.

I heard that spear users and bow users are making a fuss about picking up 【Dual Wield】.

Something seems off, doesn't it?

I'm a producer, but while there aren't many producer players who have picked up 【Dual Wield】, it's not that rare.

Many producer players have high dexterity, so it's easier for them to obtain it, I think.

256. Katie

The information is different from usual...

It says "Skill link established," so I understand that multiple conditions need to be met.

In my case, I picked it up when my racial level and weapon level both increased, which makes it a bit unclear.

I can only say that weapon level 5 is definitely required.

>>255

I think that's the correct answer.

257. Ryukaan

>>248

Well, I'm a farmer, so it's not really relevant to me.

It seems that only the top players with racial levels 6 to 7 can advance to the main tournament.

I'm also worried that the progress might stall.

Have there been any reports of new skills appearing?

258. Hodetsu

>>256

It's a defense skill, but 【Heavy Shield】 followed that pattern.

【Shield】 was originally level 6.

It appeared when 【Defense】 reached level 5 at the same time as my racial level increased.

I'll post a screenshot, but please don't ask about the stats.

(Images)

259. Zoe

>>257

There are few reports, but the support skill 【Coordination】 might be like that.

I think dexterity is involved, probably.

260. Claude-Syn

Everyone, calm down.

Think about the name of this game.

It's Another Link Saga Online, right?

Another Link

261. Kuren

To notice that... as expected (ry

>>258

Nice.

But heavy shields are quite expensive to acquire, right?

262. Hodetsu

As a tank, I don't have much trouble choosing skills, so it's easy.

I'm curious about how to handle 【Heavy Shield】.

Combining it with 【Heavy Armor】 would make a tank more stable, but it would also make movement more difficult.

It would also be costly.

For now, I'll settle for the cheapest heavy shield sold by NPCs.

It was also a bit painful to replace my mace recently.

But I'm glad it was in time for the combat tournament.

I haven't had a chance to use it in real combat against monsters yet.

263. De-Muro

>>255

I want it.

I also use a small sword and a shield, but there are other tanks.

I want to try it.

If I use a sword for 【Dual Wield】, one of them should be a main gauche or a sword breaker.

>>260

A genius has appeared.

264. Ryukaan

>>260

I'm convinced.

265. Izumi

>>260

A genius has appeared.

>>263

For a rapier user, 【Dual Wield】 is something that can't be overlooked.

I really want it.

266. Miki

Thinking about it, there are good and bad initial skills, right?

I have 【Coordination】 from the start.

267. Tsuchizuki

>>262

I want to fight alongside you.

268. Ronin 2

I actually use the 【Dual Wield】 style.

I'm a treasure hunter, though.

It doesn't increase attack power but increases the number of attacks!

However, from my experience, the benefits are more on the defensive side, like blocking.

I can't handle heavy attacks, though.

>>260

By the way, I only recognized it as ASO.

269. Suzune

If it's a short spear,

maybe a dual spear style could work.

270. Katie

Many skills that can be obtained are being ignored.

It might lead to a skewed view that it's better to focus on improving stats rather than acquiring too many skills.

271. Kukai

>>269

Spears are still okay, w

But a bow user would need four arms, w

272. Muko

>>266

It's probably a good one.

It still seems like a mysterious skill, though.

273. Kasasagi

>>270

If you want to be ready for the combat tournament, you need to obtain and level up your skills now.

In any case, I think it's better to focus on improving the skills you already have.

I'm also allocating all my bonus points to stats.

The bonus points from racial level-ups are only 2, which is a bit disappointing.

274. Ryukaan

I don't really worry about it.

After all, you can pour bonus points into stat improvements.

275. Ronin 2

>>273-274

This is also a thread for collecting information about skills, you know w

What's the point of completely denying skill acquisition w

276. Kukai

Well, until the conditions for obtaining 【Dual Wield】 are clear, this is about it.

There might be higher-level skills that replace weapons like 【Heavy Shield】 in the future.

When that happens, this thread will probably become more lively, right?

277. Izumi

>>276

Magic too.

Right now, there are only six attributes.

Lightning and ice should be included.

278. Suzune

>>277

Don't forget that summoning magic, curse songs, and curse spells are all treated as magic skills.

279. Kasasagi

The timing of the combat tournament is also an issue.

It could have been a bit later.

280. Kuren

Actually, the time I spent with status abnormalities due to death and resurrection has been subtly affecting me.

I need to make up for it.

281. Ryukaan

It's not just about skills, but there should be some new movements among players, right?

There's an interesting cultivation topic right now.

It would be fun if it really takes off w

But my main interest is still rice.

282. Katie

I hope players who are ahead will try various things.

In a sense, for the sake of being a test subject w

283. Claude-Syn

>>280

What are you going to do if you become even more addicted wwww

284. Izumi

>>282

That's cruel w

【First Round】Combat Tournament - Who Will Win? Prediction Thread ★1

1. Fio

I've created this thread.

For tournament rules, registration, and schedule, see around >>2.

Although I'm a spear user, I think a tank with maxed-out vitality is the favorite.

---------------------------------- (Omitted) ----------------------------------

77. zin

>>69

Common rules for preliminaries and main tournament:

- Items in the item box cannot be used.

- Healing items cannot be used.

- Elf's 【Spirit Summoning】 and Summoner's 【Summoning Magic】 are prohibited.

- Guilds will fully restore HP and MP before and after matches.

- Guild alchemists will repair weapons and armor for main tournament participants.

- Experience points from matches will be awarded normally.

- The match arena is a 40m x 40m square with a permanent barrier.

- The old training ground has 4 arenas, and the new training ground has 8.

- Absence at the start time will result in a forfeit.

- There are no draws; the winner is determined by the remaining HP percentage.

- Pain settings will be set to 100% for all participants.

- Defeat occurs when the HP bar drops below 90%.

Overkill will be eliminated by the system.

78. Corona

At first, starting from a distance, wouldn't a magic user with maxed-out intelligence be the strongest?

79. Shinjiro

There are about a thousand slots, right?

It seems that some players have been assigned slots by NPCs.

80. zin

>>69

Preliminaries: 10-minute matches, one round.

Healing spells are prohibited.

Combat logs are only shared with the two participants after the match.

To clarify, one block of the preliminaries consists of 32 participants.

Only one participant who wins the tournament advances to the main tournament.

Winning 5 matches is required to advance to the main tournament.

The main tournament is a 32-player tournament.

With 32 participants per block, there are 1,024 participants in total.

The preliminaries will take place over 3 days, with 992 matches in total.

The main tournament will take place in one day, with 31 matches.

The prohibition of healing spells in the preliminaries is likely aimed at shortening match times.

81. Claus

>>78

Intelligence maxed-out magic user → Vitality maxed-out tank

Vitality maxed-out tank → Long-range archer

Long-range archer → Intelligence maxed-out magic user

Isn't it like that?

82. Sakurazuka Mamoru

>>81

It's not as simple as rock-paper-scissors.

A balance-oriented spear user can have a good match against any of them, but it's not guaranteed.

A small sword and shield user can have a good match against anyone except a tank.

Even against a tank, a small sword and shield user can't be careless against blunt weapons like maces.

Powerful spells are even more challenging.

83. Rubin

But if you approach with specialized stats and skill compositions, it depends on the combination, right?

Spear users are indeed versatile, and a mace and shield combination is solid.

84. Carlo

That's where you max out strength.

85. Jiro

A man should silently choose a spear.

86. zin

>>69

Main tournament: 20-minute matches, one round.

Healing spells are allowed.

Combat logs are live-streamed during the match and can be recorded afterward.

Advancing to the main tournament earns 2 bonus points.

Winning each match adds 2 more points.

The winner receives a magic crystal.

There is a best bout vote.

87. Kuren

In any case, earning experience points over the next few days is crucial.

However, I think it's better not to overdo it or take unnecessary risks.

88. Rothschild

It seems that there's a trend to avoid self-disclosure on the bulletin board.

I shouldn't have disclosed myself...

89. zin

>>88

Until you enter the arena, you won't know your opponent's name.

I don't think you need to worry too much about the preliminaries.

In the main tournament, it will naturally become known, though w

Well, it's like a celebrity tax, right?

By the way, your name is quite impressive w

90. Eldi

>>77>>80>>86

Thank you.

However, it's a shame that the Elf's 【Spirit Summoning】 is prohibited.

I've put a lot of effort into developing it.

91. Kono-hana

Speaking of which, summoners who can't use 【Summoning Magic】 are in a difficult position.

Well, even if they could use it, they would likely lose to later players, but that's a secret.

92. Farella

They say the preliminaries will group players with similar tendencies.

That sounds boring.

Comparing firepower among magic users,

Long-range target practice among archers,

Eroding each other among tanks—

It's not worth watching.

93. Rothschild

>>92

I don't want to see that in the main tournament either.

94. Kuren

There has been a sudden decrease in self-disclosure in the information collection threads.

I'm concerned that progress might stall.

95. Jiro

A man should silently choose to be naked.

96. Carlo

But if you can make good use of the arena's size, archers will have a significant advantage, right?

97. Sakurazuka Mamoru

>>96

Against a tank, you might get cornered.

Even with piercing arrows, some equipment is starting to become impenetrable.

The arena might seem large but is actually quite small.

What will you do in close combat?

Even with a secondary weapon, it won't be easy against a tank.

98. Tsutsumi

That's where dwarves come in.

Not necessarily maxed-out strength, but they can deliver powerful blows.

99. Crow

>>98

Dwarves, nice.

How will you solve the issue of slow movement?

100. Jiro

What's there to worry about now?

It's all or nothing.

101. Cocoa

>>98-99

I often see this combo.

Are you stalking each other?

Is it a fixed match?

102. Joji

I might as well declare my participation.

I'm a fisherman!

I'll go all in with a spear!

103. Sakurazuka Mamoru

>>98

Maxing out strength isn't bad, but agility can't be ignored either.

In a short battle, you might be able to neglect mental strength, but you also need magic defense...

It's a very difficult decision.

104. Mikoto

It looks like it would be fun to watch.

I feel like betting on an outsider.

105. Crow

For now, I'm looking forward to the main tournament.

I'll be glued to the live thread w

106. Kono-hana

>>105

While everyone is focused on the tournament, it might be a good time to make progress in the game.

107. Crow

>>101

It's a feature w

108. Cocoa

>>104

Without any prior information, it's not really a bet.

If you have friends in the same party, you could bet as a gesture of goodwill.

109. Joji

The result will come out anyway.

110. Jiro

It can go either way.

There are many things you can't know until you fight.

111. Cocoa

>>109-110

I didn't want to see this combo w

But there aren't many players who are fishermen, right?

If you make a name for yourself, more might join w

112. Kono-hana

>>111

Elves and summoners are pitiful, though.

113. Mikoto

>>112

I don't think so.

Elves are naturally excellent at magic skills and can use bows.

By leveraging agility, they can compensate for low vitality.

I think player skills are necessary, though.

Summoners are also magic users and can't be underestimated.

114. Zou

That's where bards come in.

I can handle support (T-T)

115. Cocoa

>>114

There's a truly unfortunate existence...

I'm sorry for forgetting.
