You're an assassin, why do you focus on ranged?

After the goblin warrior bloodline factor was put into the backpack, Qin Chuan looked at the last piece of loot.

A crystal.

[Skill Upgrade Stone: Dark Gold Level, can upgrade gold-level skills to Dark Gold Level]

In Apocalypse, the player's skills are not fixed. Not only can the level be upgraded, but also the grade can be upgraded.

Relatively speaking, upgrading the level is relatively simple. Even if there are no skill points, the proficiency can be increased by repeated release, and the level can be upgraded eventually.

But the upgrade of the grade is very troublesome.

The skull of the alien beast is one of them.

But the problem is that this thing is unique. Qin Chuan got the skull of the alien beast, which directly cut off the possibility of other players obtaining it.

There are only a handful of similar props in the whole of Apocalypse.

If players want to upgrade their skills, they mainly rely on skill upgrade stones of various grades.

Although the grades of skill upgrade stones are different, there is one thing they share.

That is, they can only upgrade skills of one grade lower.

For example, a black iron-level skill upgrade stone can only upgrade ordinary-level skills.

A silver-level skill upgrade stone can upgrade a black iron-level skill.

And so on.

This also means that if players want to upgrade a skill to a high grade, they need to prepare skill upgrade stones of various stages.

It is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It also depends on luck.

To be honest, if it weren't for the alien skull, Qin Chuan would have a headache seeing this dark gold-level skill upgrade stone.

Apart from Shadow Stealth, the only gold-level skill he has is Poison Blood Plague.

But now, it couldn't be better.

Qin Chuan was still hesitating about how to use the thirty or so evolution points on hand, whether to continue to upgrade Shadow Stealth, or find a skill to evolve to the gold level, or evolve Dark Rain.

All three options have significant improvements.

It's hard to choose.

Now there is no need to worry about it at all.

Use the upgrade stone to upgrade Shadow Stealth to the dark gold level, and then use the evolution points to upgrade Shadow Knife to the gold level!

As for Poison Blood Plague, since it is a general skill, the priority is relatively low, so Qin Chuan decided to put it aside for now.

With his current attributes, the gold-level Poison Blood Plague can already clear ordinary monsters.

When fighting BOSS, it is icing on the cake, and the real output is still Shadow Knife and Dark Rain.

Dark Rain itself is gold level. If the skill characteristics are unlocked and then evolved to dark gold level, the improvement is not so significant.

It is better to upgrade Shadow Knife and unlock the characteristics to increase damage.

Moreover, Shadow Knife has a short cooldown and can deal higher total damage.

As for the initial skill Shadow Attack...

He is a ranged assassin, why would he need a melee skill?

He has never used it since the server was launched, and upgrading Tear will not improve this skill.

The cost performance is too low.

Concentrating his mind, Qin Chuan took the upgrade stone in his hand and used it directly.

"Ding, Shadow Stealth has evolved! Quality upgraded, gold → dark gold!"

[Shadow Stealth LV5 (dark gold level, enter stealth state, break stealth with one strike and deal additional (attack power * 200% + 8000) damage, consume 30 mana, cooldown time 10 seconds]

[Features: Stealth state increases movement speed by 30%]

Invincible, too invincible.

Not to mention the high damage multiplier bonus, the fixed damage value alone is already jaw-dropping.

Even if Qin Chuan does not trigger the sniper talent, he can kill ordinary monsters in one shot.

And the reduction in cooldown can also allow him to deal more damage with one strike.

"I think I'm a bit too much."

Qin Chuan said secretly.

You know, he has the sniper talent, and with the generous donation of the Death Messenger, the talent has been upgraded, the damage has increased, and the damage has increased. The damage is doubled.

Now that the Shadow Stealth has been upgraded, the output will be increased again.

With his current attributes, the damage that the Shadow Flying Knife can deal at a distance of 50 meters is...

167849!

Hiss.

Qin Chuan was a little shocked.

Before, he could only deal 140,000 damage at a distance of 100 meters, which was already an exaggerated damage that made the Bonebreaker doubt his life.

Now, the distance is halved, and the damage is not only not halved, but even higher.

If you say this out, you will probably be shocked.

"The gift from the Death Messenger is really too precious."

Qin Chuan said secretly.

He knew very well that to deal this kind of damage, it was not enough to rely on the upgrade of Shadow Stealth alone.

The main improvement came from the Sniper God talent.

Although I don't know what the Death Messenger is up to, at least

At least for now, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages for Qin Chuan.

Putting away his joy, Qin Chuan took out the skull of the strange beast.

Shadow Flying Knife is a skill that has accompanied him for many years. He has fought for half his life, and it is time to enjoy it.

What, you said that the server has been open for less than a day?

Don't pay attention to these details.

"Ding, Shadow Knife has evolved! Quality improved, Normal → Black Iron!"

"Ding, Shadow Knife has evolved! Quality improved, Black Iron → Bronze!"

"Ding, Shadow Knife has evolved! Quality improved, Bronze → Silver!"

"Ding, Shadow Knife has evolved! Quality improved, Silver → Gold!"

"Ding, your professional skill has evolved to Gold level, unlocking skill features!"

[Shadow Knife LV1 (Gold level, uses shadow energy to create energy knives, causing (attack power * 230%) damage, consumes 20 mana, cooldown time 6 seconds]

[Features: After hitting the target, it will ricochet, attacking up to (5) targets within a range of (15) meters]

The effect is consistent with Qin Chuan's prediction, which is a ricochet effect.

It is worth noting that the ricochet damage cannot be increased by the invisibility-breaking attack, only the first damage has it.

But even so, with the blessing of the Sniper God, the ricochet damage is still terrifying.

And with the ricochet, Qin Chuan can be more efficient when encountering several BOSSes at the same time.

The poisonous blood plague is triggered by the ricochet, and the damage is great.

There is another difference, that is, the shadow knife itself does not have a fixed numerical damage.

As compensation, the shadow knife has a higher attack multiplier.

But considering that the professional characteristics of the shadow assassin have the characteristic of additionally increasing the invisibility-breaking attack damage.

Under the same grade and level, the damage of shadow stealth will be higher.

It can be seen that shadow stealth is the real core skill of this profession. Yes.

This is why Qin Chuan has been focusing on improving Shadow Stealth.

On the one hand, it has high damage, and on the other hand, it is safe.

To be honest, if it weren't for Shadow Stealth, he wouldn't have been able to solo the BOSS so easily.

Undetectable, plus unlimited stealth, this is what allowed him to achieve his current results.

Qin Chuan plans to keep the remaining evolution points for the time being.

This time when he returns to Baili City, he will go to talk to Edith and try to get more information about professional skills.

It won't be too late to use evolution points if there are long-range skills.

"There are still 22 skill points, and Shadow Stealth will be improved."

It's not excessive to strengthen the core skills.

"Consume 5 skill points, Shadow Stealth level is increased, LV 5→LV6!"

"Consume 6 skill points, Shadow Stealth level increased, LV6→LV7!"

"Consume 7 skill points, Shadow Stealth level increased, LV7→LV8!"

[Shadow Stealth LV8 (Dark Gold Level, enter stealth state, break stealth with an additional (attack power*200%+12800) damage, consume 30 mana, cooldown time 10 seconds]

[Feature: Stealth state increases movement speed by 30%]

On the first day of the server opening, not only did he have a Dark Gold skill, but he also upgraded this skill to level eight.

Qin Chuan himself felt that it was too much.

Don't give other players a chance to survive.

Oh, by the way, there are still 200 free attributes.

Tsk tsk, too much, it's really too much.
