Comparison of Core Skills

Deadeye Lightning Arrow

Core skill: Lightning Arrow

Lightning arrows not only cause physical damage, but also produce lightning chain reaction to surrounding enemies by launching arrows with lightning effect. This skill can hit a large range of enemies, and can cause extremely high explosive damage to single enemies.

Advantages:

Effectively clean up group enemies, suitable for quick painting.

High explosive, suitable for Boss battle.

The output is very powerful depending on critical hit and attack speed.

Disadvantages:

The damage to single enemies is high, but it may not be enough for Boss with high HP.

There is a high requirement for skill accuracy, and skill release requires certain space.

Deadeye  Lightning Spear

Core skill: Lightning Spear

The electric spear is a kind of high penetration and high explosive skill. It will concentrate and release the lightning energy, penetrate the enemy and do a lot of lightning damage. This is a skill that mainly depends on element damage, especially suitable for dealing with enemies with less HP.

Advantages:

Single explosive damage is extremely high, suitable for fighting Boss.

Good penetration ability, able to hit the enemy from a long distance.

The energy will be released after being concentrated, and the damage will be more stable.

Disadvantages:

The attack frequency is low, which is not suitable for quickly cleaning up group enemies.

It requires a longer casting time or standing advantage to ensure the release of skills.


Damage Output Comparison

Deadeye Lightning Arrow

The damage output of the lightning bolt not only comes from physical damage, but also from a powerful lightning damage bonus. The chain effect of the skill can cause electric shock damage to multiple enemies. Therefore, it is very effective in picture clearing, and can increase output through critical hit.

Core promotion direction:

Critical hit rate and critical damage.

Increases lightning penetration, reducing the enemy's lightning resistance.

Increase attack speed and skill frequency.


Deadeye Electric Spear

The damage of electric spear mainly depends on element damage, especially lightning damage. Its penetration effect enables the skill to maintain high damage when facing highly resistant enemies.

Core promotion direction:

Increases lightning damage, elemental damage, and critical hit.

Penetrate the enemy's resistance, so that the skill can cause higher damage to different types of enemies.

The penetration ability of the skill enables the skill to effectively hit the enemy at a long distance.

Picture clearing ability and mobility

Deadeye Lightning Arrow

High efficiency of image cleaning: because the lightning bolt can cover a large area and has high frequency attack output, it is very efficient in cleaning up a large number of small monsters.

Mobility: Using the fast pace and other mobility skills of the Ranger class, you can quickly move and quickly clean up the enemy, which is suitable for quick painting.

Deadeye electric spear

Low map clearing efficiency: compared with the lightning bolt, the electric spear has a weak map clearing ability, because it is a skill mainly aimed at single enemies and is not suitable for large-scale group monster clearing.

Mobility: because the electric spear needs to concentrate energy and cast for a long time, it has poor mobility when facing group enemies, and needs a certain position advantage.


Boss War Comparison

Deadeye Lightning Arrow

In the Boss battle, the high critical hit rate and powerful single burst of Lightning Arrow make it perform well when facing enemies with high HP, especially when using critical hit, its output ability is strong.

Applicable scenario: It is suitable for small and medium-sized Bosses. If you need to hit single high explosive damage, you can further enhance the output by increasing critical hit and element penetration.

Deadeye Electric Spear

The electric spear is an ideal choice for a single Boss. It has very high penetrability and explosive element damage, and is especially suitable for fighting against a Boss with high HP and resistance.

Applicable scenario: It is suitable for attacking large Boss, and can cause continuous high damage within a long casting time.


Play Suggestions and Choices

If you pay more attention to the efficiency of map clearing and want to quickly kill the enemy through high-frequency attacks, the Deadeye lightning arrow will be a more suitable choice. It can quickly defeat a large number of enemies, and is also very effective against small and medium-sized Bosses.

If you focus more on single boss killing and can find the right position and time to cast skills, the Deadeye electric spear can provide stronger single explosive and penetration capabilities. It is suitable for players who focus on high burst output and fight against enemies with high HP.


Summary

The Deadeye Lightning Arrow is suitable for players who want to clean up monsters efficiently, critically output and quickly brush pictures. It is suitable for scenes with many enemies in groups, large maps and high frequency attacks.

Deadeye electric spear is a genre that focuses on single body explosion and confronts powerful Boss, especially suitable for facing single target enemies with high HP.

Which genre you choose depends on your game style, your preference for fighting style and your demand for Boss war. Both have their own advantages and can provide strong output and challenging combat experience in the new season.
