vstars Chapter 10 Becoming a Prisoner
Chapter 10 Becoming a Prisoner
When Ronan said this, Freya and Vincent were somewhat surprised. Even Dodoya Lili, who was engrossed in eating, raised her head and put down her chopsticks, seemingly wanting to see what Ronan had to say.
After all, Ronan hadn't said a word before, so his opening up on this topic now probably indicates he has some ulterior motive.
"You all probably know that the highest star rating for companions is..."
Ronan wrote all of this down while scrolling through videos out of boredom.
Freya didn't know what Ronan was going to say, but she still raised her proud little face.
"Of course, it's a six-star!"
Ronan: ...
Since you already know, is there any need to ask...?
Ronan couldn't help but mimic his uncle Vincent's gentle tone, adopting the classic second-generation character's expression of touching his forehead, sighing, and shaking his head.
Ronan had long since scoffed at this idea.
But you know what, in this kind of discussion environment, this action is almost always effective.
Ronan smiled elegantly.
"Since the highest rank is six-star, how do your four-star characters compete with six-star characters?"
Freya pouted her little mouth like a fool.
"Forehead……"
It's that classic clip sound again.
"I think I can be a fighting force too..."
At this moment, Vincent gave a classic gentle smile, and then, like a second-generation character, touched his forehead, sighed, and shook his head.
"I understand what Ronan means, you silly Freya. He means that six-star characters are definitely stronger in combat, and he doesn't need a four-star companion like you to be the main combatant..."
Freya was now somewhat confused.
"Why don't you need me to be the main fighting force? I'm cute, and I..."
Freya revealed her canine teeth.
"The lower my health, the higher my damage!"
Ronan asked the most crucial question.
"The lower your health, the higher your damage. Theoretically, you deal the most damage when you're a corpse. Look at your damage when you're a corpse, is it even higher than a six-star character...?"
Freya, looking unconvinced, took out her phone to do the calculations.
"Smack..."
Her phone fell to the ground.
But his face showed a stubbornness.
"Even though my damage output isn't high, I'm more than capable of being a main force when fighting ghost stories and a series of evil cases..."
Vincent looked at Ronan with an expression that said, "The child has suddenly become smarter."
Vincent responded in a gentlemanly manner.
"I think Ronan has another, more subtle meaning. Based on my observations these past few days, travelers seem completely uninterested in these kinds of battles. They prefer swift and violent victories, and they never care about the backstory of the supernatural tales. Therefore, the most brutal and powerful combat strength is what they need... And you..."
Vincent, in his classic second game character, touched his forehead, sighed, and shook his head.
Ronan took over the conversation.
"So, I think if you become a colleague like this, you definitely won't be very popular..."
Freya thought she was very cute.
"Am I not cute? My persona..."
"Tsundere is outdated, and besides, you're all tsundere and no cuteness, making you a bottom-tier version..."
Freya, with a shadow over her face, began to recall herself.
Ronan, however, gave Freya a direct analysis.
"First of all, as you know, the Traveler can only bring three companions into battle each time. You can switch between these three companions instantly during each battle. Every attack you make will accumulate Heroin Energy, unlocking advanced skills and ultimate moves, and creating combo skills..."
"The team members provided by Herodo are divided into combatants, mystery containrs, and support roles..."
All eyes were fixed on Ronan.
"The main damage dealer, which I've researched myself, I call the Main DPS. The Tales Container, I call the Sub-DPS and Key Skill Carrier. And the Support is simply responsible for making the Main DPS and Sub-DPS clear Tales faster..."
Ronan stated his thoughts directly.
"You should hurry up and find a way to change your profession to support, a four-star companion. That would be the best way to find employment..."
"With an interesting character design, it's entirely possible that her peers will like her..."
Ronan used an analogy, comparing it to employment.
Du Duoya Lili, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled gently.
Freya seemed to have come to terms with reality, and she said sadly:
"Is the Traveler really so heartless? Can't a four-star character be a main DPS?"
Ronan: ...
Dude, your drop rate is low! If four-star characters are too strong, who's going to pull for six-star characters...?
However, the people living in Hailuodu are probably unable to recognize these things...
Freya still couldn't accept reality.
Ronan chuckled to himself.
"After all, for travelers, every gacha banner brings new characters. As you know, there's a new banner every week now, and each new banner is always stronger than the last. You start out in a position where travelers can't see you, and you'll forever remain a prisoner, never gaining the travelers' approval, never gaining Herodo's approval..."
"Now that you're within Herodo's kill threshold, I don't think you want to go through all this..."
Freya seemed to finally understand, and finally raised her proud head to look at Ronan.
"So, what should I do...?"
Vincent then immediately picked up the list of skills and passives that could be selected from the recent card pool in the Anomaly Bureau.
"I think you need this..."
This long list was spread out on the table.
Freya was speechless at this point.
"I was so glad I got some good skills and passive abilities, but now it seems like they're not even as good as the bottom-tier ones that Hero judges as trash..."
"If I want to change my skills and passive abilities now, I can only do so by exchanging them for something that Heroes would rate as being lower than me..."
Ronan got really into it.
"I think there might be something good there, because judging something as trash, besides being trash in itself, also has another extreme aspect..."
"On one hand, it's extreme, but on the other hand, it's a way to retain players..."
Vincent and Freya looked at Ronan with strange expressions, while Dodoya looked at Ronan with a thoughtful expression.
Ronan discovered a pleasant surprise and pointed directly to the two bottom skills and the passive ability.
"How about this one...?"
"I think they're quite a good match..."
[The Gift of Despair]
For every 1% decrease in health, the combat power boost for other teammates increases by 5%.
Freya found it strange.
"What's the use of this amplification effect? I can't exactly have the Traveler send me up to get beaten up first, and then send out other companions to get the amplification effect and avenge me, can I...?"
Ronan stretched out his finger, shook it gently, and pointed directly at the bottom skill.
Fate truly wounds.
[Once activated, all damage received and attack damage will be true damage, and enemies will deal damage equal to 10% of the maximum health of your companion, while you will deal damage equal to 10% of the maximum health of your companion to enemies.]
Freya: ? ? ?
Ronan pursed his lips.
"This is a terrible main DPS skill, but you're a support..."
