Vol. 3 - Chapter 192 - Party One’s Turn! Let’s Check Out on Their Abilities!
<Thunder Javelin>, formerly <Mechanical Carriage>, in its prime condition, has arrived at the deepest part of <Serene Water Underground Dungeon>, traversing through the path it had traveled once already easily. Though, it's Ester who's driving it.
The most remarkable thing was the performance of Lulu and Celia's on the way. Not even once could I stop myself from smiling when I saw Celia and Lulu squealing each time the carriage ran over a monster.
The combination of a young girl and an elf really makes a picturesque scene, which once again piqued my desire to somehow get hold of a camera.
Amidst such thoughts, the battle with the <Alligator Lizard> begins.
As usual, Ester and I spectate the battle from outside. From their battle, I assume they mainly practiced their coordination in a battle under the support of Sierra in the last two days.
Lulu's job, <Lolita hero>, is mainly a debuff attacker type job, but can also play the tank role.
Celia's <Spiritualist> is, as its name suggests, a magic attacker and can also play the role of support.
Celestine's <Butler> is a self-buffed oriented job and although not much, it can play the role of mini tank.
All three of them are attack oriented mostly.
Only Lulu and Celestine among three are able to play the role of attracting the enemy and a tank but Lulu's method is quite peculiar when playing as tank as she shaves off the offensive power and accuracy rate of enemies through the debuff she applies which makes the attacks she receives mark as miss.
This tactic has a high comparability with Lulu since her job can recover her MP when attacking.
When her MP is almost exhausted, she can recover through the lame attacks and coupled with the unique strongest skill <Hero’s Undefeatable>, she can become an unparalleled attacker.
What's more, she doesn't even need to act as a tank and can literally play in her never ending ultimate mode if paired with an excellent healer.
In today's boss battle, they can let Lulu be the pivot of the party or leave the repelling and tank role to Celestine.
I looked at them curiously which strategy they were going to adopt but much to my surprise, none of them played the role of supporter or tank and all of them assumed the role of attacker, adopting the strategy of winning through coordination.
When the boss aims at either of them, they evade or defend while the other two attack and if the target is changed, they simply repeat the tactic.
Hmm. This tactic without the balance formation is only better in starting at best but it becomes unusable at an alarming rate when the grade of the dungeon rises.
Did Sierra teach them this method? They are not half bad, and properly plays their role when the time comes to basic things such as hate or target change. But this tactic's future is not so optimistic when you take future targets into account.
However, compared to the boss battle of Pamela and Shizu, which would make one doubt if they are shooting a skit, their formation is obviously stable. Ahh, they defeated it.
I tried to ask when everyone gathered temporarily after those fights.
"Splendid cooperation, all of you. Now you can call yourself the conqueror of lower level dungeons. Congratulations."
"Thank you very much."
"Thank you!"
"By the way, did Sierra teach you that tactic?"
"That's right. This happened when we were wondering about the scenario without a tank. Is there any problem?"
I first expressed my appreciation, offered my compliments and gave Lulu and Celia a high five, which delighted them. What a precious sight to see.
When I asked them about the tactics they used, Celestine confirmed my speculation.
"No-no, the tactic itself doesn't have any problem. It's just, the need for a tank will increase naturally with the rise in dungeon difficulty. Furthermore, tanks are an outright necessity in boss battles. That's why I found it strange that she taught you this method."
The role of a tank is like the castle wall. You're just asking for the annihilation without the castle wall in a war.
My theory is it's stupidity to enter into a boss battle without a tank, with some exceptions of course.
As I twisted my neck in wonder why he didn't teach them the strategy centered around Lulu, Celestine took out an adorable looking paper.
"Sierra-sama has asked us to carry it with us"
"A memo? No, a letter?"
The page seemed to be from the memo pad Sierra normally uses. I remember it.
I received the letter she passed through Celestine, and with slight nervousness, I read it.
"...... Ohh. So that's the case."
For a moment, I wondered if it's the legends love letter that often appears in the youth love comedy but alas, it was just a letter for help.
In short, she doesn't know how to train a <Lolita Hero> and is also much unfamiliar with <Butlers>. Much less about the <Spiritualist> whose name she had never heard and so on is written, to sum it up, she is requesting me to guide them.
Now that I think about it, high ranking jobs are quite rare from the perspective of the inhabitants of this world. So, It's even more impossible to sketch out an optimum battle method or how to guide them.
Hmm, if that's the case一
"Celestine, Lulu, Celia. What is your current job level?"
"After the battle just now, I'm at Lv15."
"Muhh, sneaky Celestine. Lulu didn't even level up."
"I'm also like Lulu."
"Celestine's job is high rank mid level, so he needs a bit less XP for level up compared to both of you. That's where the difference lies. Fret not, you both will be able to catch up with another boss fight"
The prerequisite to enter the beginner-mid level is Lv15, while Lulu and Celia's level is 14 currently, so they now have to defeat the boss one more time. Incidentally, I just happen to teach them about matching tactics with their jobs.
"Boss?"
"We are going to re-enter the dungeon once again?"
Oops, I almost forgot that these girls didn't know about the <Official Hidden Tactics - Boss Grind> yet.
All right. Let's begin with this.
The time has come to teach both of them the training method, <Eden> style.
