DOTA’s Madness

Time flies and it’s the last day of May.

At the same time that the Lan Elf team was completely disbanded, Zhao Dingguo ushered in the final preliminary round of the Super God Ranking individual battle. Originally, there had been so many fights. Although this one was important, Zhao Dingguo didn't particularly care. But following the familiar loading screen and a prompt from the Super God Platform, Zhao Dingguo was dumbfounded.

“It is detected that this battle meets the advanced mode conditions (the number of Twilight-level super god users exceeds one-third of the total number (that is, at least four people), or the average god points of both participating parties is higher than 2400, it will automatically enter the stronghold battle mode. "

Stronghold battle mode?

Zhao Dingguo had heard of this special model before, which was like doubling down on gambling. But today is his first formal contact. I wonder what kind of fighting method the legendary stronghold battle is?

In his doubts, the nameplate gave a hint.

The so-called stronghold battle mode adds six additional strongholds to the normal mode. These six strongholds are located in the two places where the runes are refreshed in the river, next to the two mysterious shops, and in the wild spots near the first tower on the dominant road of both sides. Among them, every time a hero walks into the stronghold, the timer will start. After one minute of time, the stronghold will be successfully occupied. The more heroes who enter a stronghold at the same time, the faster it will be captured.

Of course, this stronghold was not occupied in vain.

Every time a stronghold is occupied, the occupying party can obtain a random halo bonus, a large amount of experience and 200 gold coins. You can choose not to occupy the point, but once the opponent completes the occupation of the point, they will receive up to six powerful halos, as well as a large amount of experience and gold coins. The effect of these halos is enough to bring about a qualitative change in a hero, so any stronghold is a battleground for military strategists.

Once a certain side successfully occupies six strongholds, it basically means that the battle is over, because the combat effectiveness of the two sides will be extremely different.

This is just the stronghold mode of the regular season.

If it is a stronghold battle with a death team battle, it will be more complicated.

By that time, all soldiers and defense towers will be in enhanced mode, and strongholds will also play a greater role. If you take advantage of the opponent's mistake in a team battle and directly break the base, you can win a victory, but the battle will automatically enter the second game. The first team to win two rounds will truly win the teamfight, which will undoubtedly give the opponent a second chance. However, if all six strongholds are captured, the party that wins the battle will directly win without having to fight a second battle, and will receive additional bonus rewards.

Zhao Dingguo's battle was a conventional stronghold battle, not that complicated. However, considering that this was his first time, and the strength of his teammates and enemies were all ridiculously strong, he was inevitably beating a drum in his heart.

Zhao Dingguo just saw the conditions for turning on the advanced mode. There are at least four Twilight Gods, or an average of 2,400 god points!

He, a 1500-point rookie who was among the greats, was quickly discovered by his teammates.

Obviously, the nameplate of the Twilight-level master has more functions. Even in the regular season, you can directly know the god points of your teammates and enemies.

"Where's the kid with 1,500? It seems like this one is worth it!"

A familiar male voice came from the voice channel, but Zhao Dingguo couldn't remember where he had heard it. However, the master who spoke reported the strength comparison between the two sides. On his side are three twilight masters, plus a high-ranking twilight master, and Zhao Dingguo, the somewhat dazzling rising sun. The opponents are two Dusk, plus three high-level Dusk.

With such a dazzling lineup, how lucky Zhao Dingguo must be to catch up!

Because the heroes in this game are all random, Zhao Dingguo was directly assigned to the hero Wandering Swordsman by the Super God Platform. This is a melee strength hero with the signature Storm Hammer skill. His ultimate move is the power of God, which is enough to give him a good burst in the early stage. Such a hero, if there is a good output environment, he will be very powerful in the late game. Zhao Dingguo has met this hero more than once and has some experience with him.

At this time, several expert teammates also got their own heroes: the elf, the captain and the skeleton king.

In addition, the high-level person who randomly arrived at dusk was the demon wizard Ryan, who was also a hero that Zhao Dingguo was very familiar with.

As for the opponents, the natural disaster team's lineup is Parker, Shadow Demon, Lich, Thrall and Bounty. This lineup has relatively strong troops in the line, mostly long-range attacks, and is also very sharp in team battles. If you don't respond well, it is very likely that the opponent will have the upper hand online and completely suppress your own side.

"In this way, the wanderer follows me and takes the advantage lane, so be more careful. Lane should be fine in mid lane, but I don't know which opponent will take the mid lane. They have a lot of heroes who can mid lane. As for the top lane, the elf and the skeleton king Together, if you are under great pressure, upgrade your blood-sucking aura as soon as possible."

The guy who randomly went to Captain Cuenca quickly parted ways, and the others seemed okay with it, so that was the deal.

The wanderer Zhao Dingguo was taken care of by Xiao Xiao and followed him to the advantageous road.

The battle horn soon sounded.

With the dispatch of troops, Zhao Dingguo's initially nervous mood suddenly calmed down. Although this weapon is powerful enough for enemies, teammates are also equally powerful. As long as he plays well and performs well, Xuri is not afraid at all. After all, the Wandering Swordsman is not a particularly complicated hero. As long as you grasp the timing of Storm Hammer, you can basically activate half of this hero!

Because it is a regular stronghold battle, the six strongholds will not appear until ten minutes after the battle starts. Therefore, heroes at the first level in the early stage still need to be honest in the line.

The hero in the middle makes contact first.

Our Ryan will face Parker, and if he goes on the road, his opponents will be Lich and Shadow Demon. It is estimated that the Elf and Skeleton King will have a hard time. In this way, the enemies in the bottom lane are fixed - facing Zhao Dingguo's wandering and captain are the bounty hunters and Thrall of the natural disaster side.

Bounty hunters have stealth skills. They can sneak attack the enemy when the stealth is about to end, and then wait for the new stealth opportunity to escape. Thrall is also a very powerful hero online. It should be said that the natural disaster side has a slight advantage. After all, they are facing two melee fighters. But the captain next to him was not afraid at all. Considering that the possibility of getting first blood was extremely small, he chose to upgrade the water knife first and rely on this skill to find opportunities to consume the opponent's blood.

The water knife is a classic skill of the captain. It can be generated every once in a while, causing full splash damage to surrounding enemies.

If paired with some critical equipment, the total output of this splash will be considerable. Even if it is only level one in the early stage, it is quite practical to use it to consume blood. Gondor, who was trying to get close to deny it, was scraped by the water jet as expected, and his blood volume suddenly dropped a bit. Thrall next to him was cunning, taking two steps back in advance to avoid the captain's water knife. After the blow passed, he approached again, began to counterattack, and at the same time took the time to suppress it.

The confrontation between the two sides was in a brief period of stalemate and consumption. Zhao Dingguo never found a suitable opportunity to kill, so the Storm Hammer remained untouched and was mostly used to replenish troops.

Zhao Dingguo once had clues about the top twilight-level gods before, and his last-ditch skills impressed Zhao Dingguo very deeply at that time. Although his attack power was good at that time, he was unable to steal a single soldier. This time, the captain who was traveling with him seemed to be in the dark, but he was obviously not as good at recruiting troops. At least, Zhao Dingguo can grab one or two during the gap between denials.

In this stability, Zhao Dingguo's level rose to more than half of the second level. I believe that with another wave of soldiers, we will be able to move up to level 3.

But at this time, Gondor finally felt restless. Taking advantage of his invisibility, he began to sneak over, trying to cooperate with Thrall to complete the kill. The first time, because his movements were fast enough, Zhao Dingguo missed him by one step, causing him to become invisible again and disappear. But when this guy repeated his old tricks, Zhao Dingguo took advantage of the favorable opportunity and quickly struck with a hammer.

Gondor didn't have time to become invisible and was knocked unconscious by Zhao Dingguo on the spot.

"Chance!"

The captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand and put down the torrent skill a little behind Gondor's position. Then, he rushed up quickly and attacked Gondor with Zhao Dingguo.

Stormhammer's stun time passed quickly, and Gondor realized the danger, reentered the invisible state and fled back. However, the first level of invisibility takes a while. Just as his figure gradually disappeared, Zhao Dingguo and the captain continued to chop him. The torrent that was released in advance also spurted out from the ground in time, knocking Gondor into the sky.

After taking two skills in a row and being slashed several times, Gondor's health was suddenly reduced.

However, his invisibility was quite timely, and Thrall helped release his skills. Zhao Dingguo and the captain still failed to kill him in the end, but only successfully consumed one round.

But it doesn't matter, there will definitely be opportunities next.

Zhao Dingguo looked at the magic value and used a small purification potion he bought when he went out. In this way, he can ensure that he will smash the second Storm Hammer later.

As the two expected, after escaping and eating two trees, Gondor's health recovered again. Seeing that Zhao Dingguo's blood volume was not particularly full, he came up with the idea of ​​a sneak attack. After all, Thrall is already level three and has two levels of Thunder Strike. If you cooperate well, it is still possible to kill the wanderer.

Taking advantage of the intertwined military lines of both sides, Gondor sneaked over again.

This time, he miscalculated.

The captain mainly adds water jets, and the damage of the second level water jets is already good. Gondor, who was still invisible, directly suffered splash damage from the knife. Considering that the second invisibility had not healed yet, Gondor had to wait for a few seconds before sneaking up to Zhao Dingguo and striking a brutal blow to break the invisibility.

Thrall behind the army line followed up in time, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to kill him.

Under the flanking attack between the two, Zhao Dingguo's blood volume dropped very quickly. However, after noticing the captain's support, Zhao Dingguo smashed the Storm Hammer and stunned Gondor. Then, instead of turning around and running away immediately, Zhao Dingguo slashed him twice before retreating!
