Chapter 304: The Spirit of the Weapon Is Released? The Substitute User!!!

"Huh? This skill..."

Luke couldn't help but mutter when he finished reading the strengthening branch of finding items.

There are indeed monster units like "Weapon Spirits" in Diablo 2.

They usually appear in the form of floating sword weapon spirits. Once they are destroyed, there is a high probability that the corresponding weapons and equipment will be dropped.

And the existence form of this "Weapon Spirit Liberation" should be similar to this kind of monster.

Well, it may be more appropriate and easier to understand to describe "Weapon Spirit Liberation" as the ""Steel Golem" variant weapon spirit version of the Necromancer.

The Steel Golem can only inherit most of the attributes and additional aura skills of the weapon, while the weapon spirit liberation can perfectly inherit all the effects and additional skills of the weapon, and can even directly disguise itself as a substitute!

...It just lasts a little shorter.

From the perspective of game values, the less materials are needed to build a weapon, the less durability it will have, and vice versa.

For example, the durability of the most common dagger is only about 16, and the weapon spirit it transforms into only has a display time of about 160 seconds, while large ones like big wooden sticks have a durability of more than 60.

In addition, once Luke uses a weapon with built-in skills to summon a weapon spirit, and then throws a few skills, the existence time that is not durable to begin with will be consumed faster, and at the same time, the weapon with the awakened weapon spirit will eventually be swallowed by the weapon spirit like other consumables.

But in contrast, Luke's tactics will be more varied.

In the battle, having three more weapon spirits that can hold any weapon is equivalent to having three more professionals with a small number of skills within a limited time, and they can still cooperate seamlessly.

Luke is definitely reluctant to use things like Rune Words and Dark Gold Equipment, but Luke has too many blank equipment with 1 to 3 skills attached.

These staffs, canes, scepters, wolf heads, jawbone helmets, and fist swords are in abundance in the warehouse of the Furnace Company.

It's not that Luke is reluctant to sell them, but these equipment will reappear the job-specific descriptions when they are in the hands of others, and their built-in skills cannot be activated at all. At least so far, Luke has not found any dark professions other than himself in the group of heroes.

And Luke himself is reluctant to sell them to profiteers, so they are piled up in the furnace company.

The only situation that restricts Luke from using weapons as consumables is probably the problem of carrying them. It seems that he should directly get a more advanced space backpack, or find a way to upgrade his inventory again.

At this time, Luke has instinctively tended to the skill of "Weapon Spirit Release".

Although "Blood Boiling" has more advantages in team battles, and "Weapon Spirit Release" will also consume more precious equipment...

But for Luke, who has no shortage of consumables of weapons with skills, weapon spirit release is really not a burden.

And compared with Blood Boiling, weapon spirit release should have a higher growth space. According to the effect description, it may have the attribute of increasing the upper limit of summons by 1 every 10 levels.

That is to say, if it reaches the later stage, Luke can have up to 9 weapon spirits.

If Luke chooses to use a scepter with a durability of more than 50 and different paladin auras as the weapon spirit material, then the battlefield auxiliary effect will definitely not be worse than the blood boiling.

At this point, Luke no longer hesitated, and directly selected "Weapon Spirit Liberation" and began to study it.

He picked up a few pieces of equipment with or without skills that were no longer needed in this competition from his large space backpack, and started to test the skills directly, and quickly found many noteworthy points.

First of all, the existence of the weapon spirit is different from the weapon monster that is just suspended in the game. It is the appearance of a humanoid soul holding a weapon, and it is closer to the appearance of a substitute. The default level is the same as Luke.

Moreover, the appearance of this humanoid soul is obviously more in line with the appearance of the person holding this weapon.

The humanoid soul holding the dagger is a short man with a well-proportioned figure, the one holding the staff is a young lady with a nice outline, the one carrying the axe is a very strong big man, and so on, and these weapon spirits are quite spiritual.

After Luke gave the order to attack the monsters around the Dimension Island, they did not just stupidly go up and hack and slash, but fought like living humans, with attack routines and active dodging. Moreover, these humanoid weapon spirits were the attack judgment points, and only by attacking the humanoid weapon spirits could their absolute health be consumed.

If we make an analogy, it should be the Amazon's "Valkyrie" and the assassin's "Shadow Master", which belong to the combat strength of the ultimate skills of the dark profession.

Think about it, after all, the cost of summoning them is to directly consume the equipment itself, so it is reasonable to have such strength.

However, after seeing the battle scenes of the weapon spirits, Luke suddenly had an idea.

That is, if the weapon spirit summoning material used by himself is a weapon originally held in the hands of an elite or boss unit, will it directly summon a weapon spirit phantom with the outline of the boss unit?

... Go back and get a new saber for Jifeng and test it with the ghost sword in his hand.

Then there is the problem of releasing the skills of the weapon spirit.

These weapon spirits, who are connected to Luke in a sense, have very high execution capabilities. They can complete even slightly vague attack instructions very well, and once they receive the instruction, they will immediately interrupt the current behavior. Even if he is beaten, he will immediately choose to attack and release skills according to Luke's instructions.

It was this situation where each skill lost 10 seconds of duration that made Luke's eyelids jump.

Ever since, several new questions to be tested popped up in Luke's mind.

That is, if you use a weapon with the "indestructible" entry to summon the weapon spirit, how will the blood volume be calculated? Will the duration be unlimited?

Among the equipment durability-related affixes in Diablo 2, there are three types, one is to restore the amount every xx seconds, the other is to restore 1 durability point every xx seconds, and the last one is indestructible.

The entry on quantity recovery in Luke's Book of Discernment is of this type.

The most powerful third type of entry is its literal consciousness. As long as the equipment with this entry is indestructible.

Among the 33 types of runes, the 33rd highest-level rune Zod (zod) has a powerful effect that makes any embedded equipment indestructible.

Of course, the drop rate of runes with this effect is also very impressive.

If it is a normal in-game drop rule, the highest drop probability of rune No. 33 from a special monster in hell difficulty is about 0.00000651%...

But this is not a problem. As long as you encounter suitable main and side tasks later, maybe the reward can be directly adjusted to 100% from this ridiculously low explosion rate.

Having said that, even if Luke really gets the No. 33 rune, he won't be able to use it, because its minimum usage level is level 69. Unless Luke crazyly adds points to "Barbarian Instinct", he really wants to encounter this kind of thing. It is estimated that it will be the third boundary breakthrough, which will happen after level 60.

For Luke, who is only level 30 now, it is still a little far away.

Back to the weapon spirit.

Luke has confirmed after continuous attempts that he cannot increase the health of the weapon spirits by dragging the potion to the avatar frame, turning on the paladin prayer halo, holy light bullet healing bullets and other conventional methods to increase the health of the weapon spirits.

After thinking about it, Luke opened the tool spirit's avatar frame and checked the corresponding weapon attributes.

So Luke soon discovered something worth noting, that is, the absolute health of the weapon spirit is actually represented by the continuous decline of the durability of the weapon it holds.

……Could it be that?

Thinking of this, Luke took out a bottle of powerful healing potion, uncorked the bottle and placed it on the ground. Then he signaled the weapon spirit holding the dagger to come over, inserted the dagger in his hand directly into the bottle, and let the blade of the knife be immersed in the red potion. .

More than ten seconds passed, and the absolute health of the weapon spirit rose instead of falling.
