Is this the "legendary" pet system? Although the way it unfolds is somewhat beyond players' expectations, the overall functions are implemented to a minimum. Is this not a test of players' wishes? That's right, I'm talking about this new event "Smart Mushroom Competition"!
With the support of a mysterious wealthy businessman (Dolly, please stop pretending), a certain Sumeru scholar actually holds a beast tamer competition, and our famous traveler will also bring his mushroom companions to fight for the beast tamer alliance. Champion title~
The gameplay is divided into two stages: pre-match preparation and event progress. After the event starts, players will receive special props "Orbs of Mind" to capture and cultivate mushrooms, and participate in battles to compete.
In the designated area, travelers can get close to the mushrooms and use the special skill "Catch" given by the props to capture them. The progress bar will increase after each hit. Once it is full, the capture can be successful. Each time you capture the different mushrooms, you can follow the suggestions to give them some Paimon-style names. Note that if the target is alerted, it will run away to a certain distance.
Subsequent players need to stimulate the potential of the mushroom beast. Find NPC Belfort to buy the special nutrient "Flower Agar". According to the formula of different mushroom beasts, adjust the 9X9 grid of different-colored agar into the mushroom beast's favorite combination to unlock new stunts. Operable items: rotate, copy, swap. The forward-looking reminder "You can place existing recipes directly into the corresponding location." Guess it means that the cultivation operation of mushrooms of the same type can be simplified?
Now that the mushroom beast has been mastered and its skills are mastered, it is time to go to the special secret realm "Intensive Training" for complete designated training. Divided into two categories: coordinated offensive, defeating a certain number of monsters within a limited time; strategic area defense, protecting our town stone and defeating invading monsters.
During the battle, players can choose 4 outbound mushrooms. On the left side is the standby mushroom, and on the side there are small icons of its corresponding functions, such as attack, treatment, defense, etc. How to match functions and create various combinations according to the reactions of elements? It all depends on the player’s command!
During the battle, travelers cannot take the initiative to attack, and can only mark the target through the "Focus Attack" command, allowing the mushroom beast to focus on a single target to attack. Don't ask, just ask: kill the wet nurse first, then focus on C, and finally surround the tank.
Players can actively click on the avatar or shortcut keys to release mushroom skills. Each mushroom skill has its own CD, and all mushrooms share a limit on the number of combat skill releases . However, there will be cheers and blessings on the field. Picking it up can increase the number of uses.
After the previous three " pre-competition preparations " have been integrated, travelers can participate in the "Moon Lotus Cup" Tamer Competition. It seems that the competition system is a simple winner promotion system.
The final reward of the gameplay is a Dolly, a crown, some rough stones, and various other miscellaneous materials.
Judging from the mechanism of this event, it seems that it is not impossible to implement the pet mode as a permanent gameplay, giving players a more novel feeling in the big world experience. Will there even be a true summoning character? For example, the water god Fukalos summons a pile of pure water, can he command it to fight monsters and so on? Looking forward to it!
The above is a brief introduction to this new event "Smart Mushroom Competition". Details will be added in subsequent implementations depending on the situation~
