White Night rubbed his hands in excitement.
In this world where everyone was chasing "stat dominance," this was the first time he felt the joy of studying mechanics and team composition.
"Deploy Lancer first to generate cost, then deploy Rider to tank, and finally save up for the five-star big daddy to sweep... This is the correct way to play hardcore tower defense!"
Without any hesitation, he added these "low-rarity junk" cards, along with Mash, to his team.
"Sorry, PD, I'm going to use you as a negative example today."
White Night chuckled, turned on the recording function, and clicked to enter the stage that ruined PD's reputation — Burning Fuyuki (Unconfirmed Coordinates X-A).
[Battle Start!]
The familiar sea of flames and ruins.
A low-level Dragon Tooth Soldier was limping toward the blue gate.
At this moment, White Night's initial Magic was exactly 10 points.
He didn't panic at all, smoothly grabbing the [Lancer Cu Chulainn] card from his hand that only cost 10 Cost, and precisely dropping it at the most critical choke point in front of the blue gate.
"Go, Cu Chulainn!"
Whoosh!
A wild warrior holding a crimson spear and wearing blue tights instantly landed.
"Although it's just a job I picked up, since I've been summoned, I'll see it through to the end!"
Cu Chulainn laughed, his spear thrusting out like a viper.
With a "poof," the skeleton soldier in the lead was instantly pierced and turned into dust.
At the same time, the Magic bar in the bottom right corner of White Night's screen jumped up by 1 point due to the Vanguard's "kill-to-refund" trait!
"Nice, killing enemies to generate cost; that's what I call management." White Night nodded with satisfaction.
15 seconds later, massive elite enemies began to spawn from the enemy entry point.
Although Cu Chulainn's output was decent, he was only a 3-star Vanguard after all, his defense was relatively weak, and his health bar began to drop rapidly.
By this time, White Night's Magic bar had accumulated a generous 20 points!
"Time to swap in a tank to soak up damage."
White Night grabbed Georgios, who only cost 12 Cost, and steadily deployed him in front of Cu Chulainn.
"The Shield of Protection, manifest here!"
The heavily armored Georgios landed with a boom, took a few hits, and after accumulating enough skill points, immediately activated his skill.
A holy taunt aura instantly drew the aggro of all the elite enemies onto himself, firmly blocking the lane and creating a perfect output environment for Cu Chulainn behind him.
"Add a healer, and it's a full set."
White Night spent more cost to drop [Caster Andersen] on the safe high ground in the back row.
Azure healing light rained down, and Cu Chulainn's health bar, which was previously in critical condition, was instantly restored by a large chunk.
Looking at the "F2P defense line" in front of him, which could be described as an impenetrable fortress and cost very little, White Night let out a long sigh of relief, feeling every pore in his body relax.
Smooth and seamless, without a single leak!
This thrill of winning the game through his brain and tactical deployment was ten thousand times more satisfying than spending money to buy an overpowered weapon.
Three minutes later.
As the last monster fell under Cu Chulainn's spear, the blue gate remained unharmed.
[Mission Clear!]
[Rating: Perfect!]
White Night took off his VR headset. Without even doing any video effects, he simply edited the "all low-rarity lineup no-damage clear tutorial" he had just recorded, added his own voiceover, and uploaded it to the Global Network player community.
Not only that, he specifically went to leave a comment under PD's post, attaching the video link.
The title of the video was simple and blunt, full of mischief:
"Soloed by mobs in the first stage? Let me help you understand the essence of FGO! A nanny-level tutorial on clearing the game with F2P low-rarity gods!"
"Go and subvert this shallow game world." White Night watched the view count jumping as soon as the video was posted and picked up his cola for a nice, long sip.
