Chapter 72 - Unstoppable Development, Blade by Blade
"What the hell, what kind of damage is this!"

"Big Tree: Where's my health bar??"

"The Captain is Lumberjack No. 2? And Sword Princess is No. 1?"

"Yuan: How dare you play with a tree in front of me!!"

The scene of the competition was in an uproar.

There was also a heated discussion in the live broadcast room.

But Yuan Shen was not surprised at all about his own injury.

The Captain's E can increase the damage caused by detonating the gunpowder barrel.

In other words, when Q detonates the powder barrel, the damage is actually the damage of Q+E.

Moreover, Q can critically strike.

At the same time, the current powder barrel can ignore 60% of armor. What does this mean?
Big Whisper, it’s only 35%.

The second level Captain's basic attack comes with a passive that deals 100 true damage, and the QE combo ignores armor and can deal 80 drops of health.

One second, three hundred damage.

How much health does a level 2 tree have?

Yuan Shen could tell it with his eyes closed.

The basic attribute is 570, and it increases by 90 points at each level. Including talents and runes, it is only 800 points.

37.5% of his health was lost in one second, and he felt a little sorry for Brother A.

But there's nothing you can do about it, who told you to ban Riven and Fiora?

Yuan Shen put away the pity in his eyes and replaced it with a hint of determination.

"Fuck! Brother A, where's your health bar?"

Taobao Quan had just finished clearing the second group of wild monsters when he switched to the top lane and was stunned.

Is the new version of the captain so powerful?

The Captain's Q at level 1 only has 40 HP, and you... were Q'd seven times?
Not really!!
"Passive, real damage, painful."

Acorn was about to cry.

Banned Fiora and Gangplank, both of them dealt true damage and were not friendly to Maokai at all.

Fist, you turned people into ghosts!

But think about it, the Captain's background story is that he was killed by the female gunner and resurrected, paying the price of a broken hand, but gaining the ability to throw barrels...

Acorn is also a top laner and quickly figured out some of Gangplank's skill mechanics.

Refreshing his passive ability and launching as many fire swords as possible in the shortest time is his main means of output.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Once you understand this, you will have a better understanding of the opponent.

During the laning phase, Acorn was very careful and did not give Gangplank any chance to attack with the Fire Knife.

However, there are some things that he cannot avoid just because he wants to.

At the moment of finishing off the enemy, a powder keg suddenly appeared in front of him.

The barrel that the captain had hidden in the bushes in advance was detonated instantly. When the big tree was blown down, its movement speed dropped sharply!
The captain, on the other hand, gained an acceleration effect.

The captain is a researcher of canyon relativity like Ekko Fiora.

Facing the Captain who was chasing him in big strides, the Tree turned around and tried to knock him away with a counter-Q, but because the difference in movement speed between the two was too great, the Captain just twisted his body and successfully dodged the Q skill.

Trial by fire!

Blades of fire!

With one blow of the sword, the tree's health dropped by nearly two hundred points again.

After two consecutive waves of blood exchanges, the Captain lost less than two hundred blood.

And the big tree has lost a full five hundred blood!

In the top lane, the cost of continuous failure in blood exchange is very high.

One loss and the line rights are gone.

After two losses, I can’t make up for it.

After three losses, if you don’t call the jungler, you won’t even get any experience!

The laner's minion line was too long and he couldn't win the fight. He had only been in the lane for three minutes, but the tree had already reached the point where he could use QE to last hit and gain experience.

The number of last hits between the two people was unknowingly widened again.

"I can't go. Why is this blind monk always on top?"

Taobao saw it all and was anxious.

It’s not that he didn’t think about helping Acorn relieve the pressure, but the three times he went there, he was either seen by the vision early or encountered the counter-camp of Lee Sin.

After three waves of fighting, not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also lost his flash.

Imp in the bottom lane was able to suppress Jack and Shekoko, and Hirano Aya's national guardian bull was not exaggerated.

However, facing a strong Corki in laning phase and a Braum with full protection ability, they didn't have any good solution.

Six minutes passed without even a single kill occurring on the field, and all three lanes entered a stable development period.

LGD finally found an opportunity to launch a siege on the bottom lane, but just as they started, Captain's ultimate skill came down, covering the retreat of Corki and Braum.

After eight minutes, the economic gap between the two sides remained at around one thousand and had not widened.

"IG played very conservatively today. All three lanes were very stable and didn't give LGD any chance at all."

"That's right, IG's stability today is a bit strange. It seems that the captain is indeed a development hero and is not good at attacking in the early stage."

The doll laughed.

"That can't be said. Although there was no burst of kills, Gangplank was already ahead by nearly a thousand gold. Maokai's last hits and level... were a bit pitiful."

Miller added.

Looking at the field again, the Captain already has the Shining and Purifying Straw Sandals in his hand. With such development in less than nine minutes, the Captain can be said to be naturally fat.

Follow the time to finish off the enemy and get the reward...

When facing a big tree, you can take whatever you want, and the big tree doesn't even have the ability to fight back.

With two consecutive barrels, Q skill, fire knife, the life of the big tree is simply terrible.

And it was at this time that Taobao Quan finally found an opportunity!
During this period, he has been looking for opportunities in the middle and bottom, but IG's vision is really good.

The two wards of Braum and Lee Sin directly blocked all his ganking routes.

Not only were they unable to catch anyone, but Kakao also killed several groups of wild monsters, putting them at a complete loss.

Taobao Quan’s playing style is somewhat similar to Kakao’s, both of them are carnivorous junglers.

Gank or die.

"The Barrel seems to be on top. The Tree can't sit still anymore. We can try to control the Little Dragon."

Yuan Shen glanced at the river channel that had no view and said directly.

Although the Barrel was not in sight, the action of the Tree had already betrayed Taobao's rights.

The big tree who was just being beaten on the head and was so cautious when he was about to finish off a opponent actually dared to come up and exchange blood?
How can it be!

This is not how you act!
Looking at his ultimate skill which still had more than ten seconds of cooldown, Yuan Shen calculated silently in his mind.

He didn't just back away, which would have scared the barrel away.

On the contrary, after taking a look at his own condition, Yuan Shen directly placed the powder barrel in the grass.

Then, continue to move forward to finish off the enemy.

He will soon reach level nine.

The hero Captain is very level-dependent.

The rate at which the gunpowder barrel's health decays will evolve at levels 7 and 13.

With each level upgrade of Q and E, the Captain's damage can be increased to a higher level.

A level nine captain can have a level five Q skill!
The moment Yuan Shen reached level nine, LGD's top and jungle players moved immediately.

Gragas successfully went around and emerged from the triangular grass.

The big trees moved closer at the same time, but Yuan Shen was not worried at all. Instead, he analyzed the situation.

Since Gragas can appear at this position at this time, it is highly likely that he does not have the E skill.

Otherwise it will take a long time.

If Gragas' E doesn't hit anyone, the CD will be longer.
