National Fortune Golden Shovel: I Can See Hidden Bonds!

91: Chapter 92 I killed all the front-line EZs, would I lie to you?Boom!!

At this moment, as the referee announced the start of the match, the attention of countless spectators was immediately captured!

”Here it is, here it is! France vs. Dragon Country! A civil war between two Dimension lineups!”

Excited shouts echoed throughout the arena.

The moment the countdown ended, countless pieces on the board suddenly moved!

The Dimension portals spun frantically, and two blue pieces were inserted into the ground almost simultaneously. With a loud boom, a massive halo swept across the entire arena!

Galio flapped his massive wings, the oppressive presence of the Colossus of Justice fully unleashed!

Ezreal was dealing damage, his pale golden impact instantly rushing toward the enemy formation!

Swain roared and unleashed his ultimate, attempting to withstand the barrage from Ezreal!

But... it was already too late!

The barrage ultimate from Ezreal, equipped with Infinity Edge, swept through instantly, shredding the opposing Swain to low health. The Colossus of Justice roared, and with a thunderous boom, slammed a heavy hammer into the ground! The one-star Swain had his health bar wiped out instantly!

”Such strong burst damage!”

”This Ezreal only has one item and the damage is this high?!”

”Wait! Oh no! It’s Ryze!”

”France’s Ryze! He actually started first!”

Some spectators exclaimed.

The situation on the board changed instantly!

France’s Ryze made his move! Like a storm, magic missiles swept directly across the battlefield! Enhanced by jeweled gauntlet, the sky-filling missiles dealt terrifyingly massive damage. The front-row Jayce had just leaped up before being pierced through by the missiles.

Blood splattered, and the spectators in the stands couldn’t help but hold their breath!

In the competition seats!

France’s Arnault also had a cold sneer on his lips. That Shen Mo was truly stupid enough to give Ryze those three items; did he not know that Ryze needed extreme attack speed items?

Just as he was feeling smug, the next second, a cold female voice echoed across the arena!

”A new moon is rising...”

Bang!

A white shield lit up, and Diana, fully equipped with defensive gear, stood firm against the explosive damage from Ryze!

This scene made Arnault’s eyes pop out!

Wait!

Isn’t Diana a fighter?

This thing can be used as a front-row tank?

The answer is... of course!

The 5-cost card Diana, Goddess of the Moon, has 1200 HP at one star. With the addition of defensive gear, she is completely equivalent to a 2-star 4-cost card. Moreover, Diana’s skill description is: Dash to the location with the most enemies, dealing damage to enemies while healing teammates and herself!

Overflow healing can be converted into a shield!

Just look at this skill mechanic.

It’s a solid front-row carry, isn’t it? Does it remind you of the S11 Sage Soraka front-row black-tech healer?

It’s the same concept of dealing damage while healing, except this time Shen Mo is using Diana as a front-row unit. Coupled with the 30 magic resistance doubling from the Bastion Synergy, it’s basically like having an extra Plate Armor!

”This Diana is so tanky! Is she this tanky even at one star?”

”Although she has the three god-tier items of Warmogs Armor, Dragon’s Claw, and Plate Armor, blocking half of Ryze’s damage at one star is still too absurd!”

Many spectators were stunned, and France’s Arnault’s expression changed, looking at the situation on the board in disbelief.

The battle continued.

Taric’s mana bar was finally full. Two dazzling lights bloomed instantly, and both sides’ Taric unleashed their ultimates almost simultaneously.

Shen Mo’s Ryze finally made his move, and Xerath joined in as well!

Instantly!

The storm-like barrage of damage covered the entire screen. Due to Xerath’s addition, Shen Mo’s Ryze’s damage inherently included true damage. At the same time, the [Red Buff] equipped on him could provide magic armor penetration and burn, and he even had one more [Rabadon’s Deathcap] than France’s Arnault!

The overall damage was absurdly high!

On the battlefield, the health of France’s front row was dropping like crazy, as if it were worthless!

Galio couldn’t withstand this kind of attack at all and was pierced through directly.

Although Taric managed to unleash his ultimate and barely resisted the damage from Ryze, the next second, an ultimate beam of light descended from the sky, and Xerath’s magic missile exploded on him with a boom!

588 (tested value)!

A pale blue number appeared instantly!

Xerath is worthy of being the strongest 5-cost single card. Even though he was only one star, this damage was simply absurd!

”Holy crap! Melted! France’s front row was directly melted!”

”Goodness, 6 Portal fighting 8 Portal, and the damage is actually higher than the opponent’s? This is unreasonable!”

The Western Countries spectators exclaimed in disbelief.

They had seen with their own eyes that Shen Mo was at a disadvantage, but in the blink of an eye, he reversed the situation!

How could this be?

It clearly looked like Shen Mo’s lineup wasn’t strong, so how did it end up that 8 Portal was going to lose?

These spectators all had their eyes wide open and mouths slightly agape, clearly unable to believe what they were seeing!

However, it wasn’t over yet!

The next second!

Something even more heart-wrenching for them appeared!

As the front-row Taric was blasted to death, Xerath turned his cannon and aimed directly at the enemy’s back-row Ryze!

8 Portal has Dimension portal cannonballs, right?

Do you think I don’t have a Xerath!

Shen Mo sneered!

Although Xerath’s cannonballs weren’t as fast as Ryze’s, the damage was absurdly high! France’s back-row Ryze was only one star, and his equipment was all offensive gear, so he couldn’t withstand the true damage from Xerath’s cannonballs. After three shots, he was directly shattered in the corner!

The back-row main carry had fallen, and although there was still a 2-star Kassadin in the front row struggling to hold on, it was already useless.

”Shen Mo’s lineup is this strong?!”

In the spectator stands, Xu Shijun couldn’t help but speak up.

Bae Soo-hyun glanced at him and said coldly, ”Now you know where the gap between you and Shen Mo really lies, right? Stop barking everywhere all day. You have a little bit of skill and act like you want the whole world to know. The ’trainees’ nowadays are truly degenerate.”

”Is this the standard of an SSS-level trainee?”

Once these words were spoken, Xu Shijun’s face flushed red, clearly feeling ashamed after being lectured.

On the other side.

In the Sakura Country spectator stands.

Hoshimi Sakura was also frowning as she watched this scene. Hashimoto Rika, still possessing charm, had a smile on her lips and said softly, ”As expected of the person Long Chen has his eye on. This kid’s understanding of piece skills definitely surpasses everyone else’s... You don’t have to feel wronged for losing to him.”

After saying this.

Hashimoto Rika’s beautiful eyes shifted, looking at Hoshimi Sakura: ”Did you see it?”

Hoshimi Sakura hesitated for a moment: ”You mean... the positioning?”

Hashimoto Rika nodded, then slowly shook her head: ”Not only that, there is also the issue of ’wall-passing’ and ’over-defending’ involved. Our usual battles refer to the front row absorbing damage and the back row dealing damage, once the front row quality is equal and the back row damage output is similar.”

”You will encounter a situation where the front rows destroy each other, and the back rows have to fight it out.”

”If one side’s front-row quality is very high, even if the back-row damage is a bit weaker, they can still win...”

”That Arnault from France thought very well, but he didn’t account for Shen Mo knowing how to ’pass the wall’! This way, the higher the quality of their front row, the weaker the strength of their lineup becomes. This is a fairly detailed tactic... This Dragon Country person has mastered it well.”

Hashimoto Rika did not hold back her praise for Shen Mo.

Clearly, from the perspective of these old folks at the Gods Arena, Shen Mo’s performance was indeed outstanding.

”Is there any way to counter it?” Hoshimi Sakura asked.

”Of course...”

Hashimoto Rika’s eyes flickered as she spoke softly: ”There are two ways to counter wall-passing...”

PS: I tested it out, and the author managed to kill the popular front-row Ezreal with this lineup. The opponent had Striker + Incantor emblems, and a 3-star Ezreal is basically a perfect setup, yet he was still killed. I can only say that brothers who want to play it need to be flexible. The ceiling is really high. Late-game 2-star 5-cost units are key. Raising the ceiling mainly depends on Xerath and Briar. Both Morgana and Diana can be used as 2-star front-line units.
