"Brothers, I am having a mental breakdown. I have played this first stage of France ten times, and no matter how I set up my formation, that damn wyvern just flies right over my head!"
"I am stuck too! Even though I brought a Caster, the Caster's attack speed is too slow. Before it can kill the wyvern, it has already zipped into the blue gate!"
On the Global Network Forum, the players who were partying just a second ago had now transformed into a wailing army tormented by the magic dragon.
Facing the wyverns with absolute air superiority, the players, who were used to blocking monsters at chokepoints and slowly grinding them to death, felt for the first time what it meant to have a "porous defense line."
Just as the entire network was plunged into anti-air anxiety, a post titled "Stop Using Tanks to Block! Let Me Reintroduce You to the True Positioning of the Seven Classes!" with an eye-catching "Featured" tag was quickly pushed to the top of the forum homepage.
The poster was none other than that hardcore technical streamer—White Night—who had become legendary after one battle with a low-star lineup.
The content of the post hit the nail on the head: "I advise all Masters to go to Da Vincis Workshop and read the 'Class Affinity and Characteristic Manual' properly."
"Do you really think that only Saber (Warrior) and Rider (Cavalry) can fight in this game?"
"Take a good look at what the passive entry of the [Archer] class says!"
Below the post was an enlarged in-game screenshot with a line of text circled tightly in red:
[Archer: Priority attack on aerial targets!]
"This game is a three-dimensional battlefield! To deal with things flying in the sky, you obviously have to use an Archer to shoot them! Are your brains chewed up by Fou to be bringing a bunch of melee units with swords and spears to fight flying wyverns?!"
A single word awakened the dreamer!
"Holy crap! Archer?! So the Archer's positioning is 'Anti-Air Sniper'?!"
"Damn it, I pulled several low-star Archers before, but I thought they were too squishy to block monsters, so I fed them all as fodder!"
"Forget it, forget it, hurry up and pull cards to train Archers! This is the truth!"
In the Shark Stream Room.
After seeing White Night's post, PD blushed with shame, secretly cursing himself for not reading the manual.
He immediately switched back to the Servant collection in the Chaldea lobby, his fingers sliding frantically across the screen.
"Archer... Archer... Find an anti-air sniper!"
Soon, his gaze locked onto a five-star SSR card emitting brilliant golden light with extremely arrogant and domineering card art.
[Archer - Gilgamesh]
"Hahahaha! If PD were not born, the anti-air would be like a long night for eternity!"
PD slapped the table and laughed up at the sky.
"Brothers, do you know what cards I have in my hand? This is a five-star Archer I spent 100,000 yuan to pull! The strongest anti-air daddy!"
The barrage turned sour instantly:
"Damn, the evil capitalist!"
"Five-star anti-air sniper? Wouldn't this damage shoot the wyverns into sieves?!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, get into the stage and let us enjoy it!"
PD spiritedly added Gilgamesh to his team and clicked on [Defense Battle Outside Domremy Village] again.
However, when he entered the battlefield and prepared to throw this golden SSR onto the high platform, that extremely familiar red warning that triggered his PTSD popped up again.
[Insufficient Cost!]
Gilgamesh, deployment cost: 32 points.
"Damn it..."
The smile on PD's face froze instantly.
He was so focused on the power of the five-star Archer that he forgot about this damn cost limit!
At this moment, the enemy spawn point had already spawned the first wave of French soldiers and two wyverns.
By the time he slowly saved up 32 cost, the base blue gate would have already been poked into a hornet's nest by those two wyverns!
"It is over, it is over! The hand is stuck! Why are all five-stars so expensive in this crappy game?!"
PD was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, falling into despair once again.
Just then, a few technical tips floated in the barrage:
"Are you stupid, President P! Didn't the great god White Night teach us to use low-cost cards to transition in the early game?!"
"Hurry up and borrow a low-star Archer from the support list to block the first wave of wyverns, and then save up cost to deploy your Gilgamesh!"
PD woke up as if from a dream, hurriedly returned to the formation interface, and quickly borrowed a max-level Robin Hood from a friend's support list.
Entering the battlefield for the third time.
"Green Tea (Robin Hood), get on the high platform for me!"
PD threw the low-cost Robin Hood onto the high platform next to the chokepoint.
"What a troublesome Master. No choice, I will do a little work."
The forest hunter wearing a green cloak appeared on the high platform.
Roar—!
Accompanied by roars, two wyverns took to the air, attempting to cross the ground defense line again.
But this time, they picked the wrong opponent.
Robin Hood, standing on the high platform, did not even glance at the French soldiers walking on the ground.
His passive [Priority Anti-Air] triggered instantly!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several venom-coated crossbow bolts turned into green streamers, accurately hitting the wings of the wyverns in mid-air!
The wyverns, which had been showing off their power in front of melee units, had their health bars cleared instantly like paper in front of the Archer's [Anti-Air Specialization] damage.
