How to Pass Level 21 of Jian'an Wai Shi: Quick Guide for the Ambush Battle at Xiapi in Level 21

The 21st stage of the Jian'an Outer History, the Xiapi Ambush, is a key battle in the mid-game. The enemy mainly consists of shield soldiers with high block rates and evasive archers. Players need to use equipment with hit attributes to counter the enemy's defensive advantages. Today, I will bring you a guide on how to pass the 21st stage of Jian'an Outer History. Actually, the setting for this stage is that equipment that increases hit rate can also counter the enemy's block and evasion. Therefore, we need to plan our equipment combinations and action sequences precisely. Here are some quick strategies.

At the beginning, it is recommended that Zhang Fei be equipped with the Ten-foot Serpent Spear (penetrating attack +15% hit), while Liu Bei wears the Magpie Painted Bow (breaking chain attack status). In the first round, split into two teams: Zhang Fei leads two spearmen to directly charge at the ambush point on the right, using the spear's penetration characteristic to simultaneously attack two shield soldiers; Liu Bei, along with Huang Zhong, goes around the left to clear out the archers, with Huang Zhong prioritizing shooting the crossbowmen with evasion buffs. If Wei Xu's troops trigger the boulder trap, immediately have Mi Zhu use the fire extinguishing skill to interrupt it, or else 30% of the forces will be lost.

Equipment with hit attributes is the core of this stage. It is recommended that Guan Yu uses the Edge-of-the-World Spear (directional damage increase + breaking block), which can trigger an additional 25% damage bonus when attacking shield soldiers from the side. Jian Yong, after changing to a strategist, should carry the Seven Stars Sword (strategy hit +15%), whose stun skill can ignore 30% of the enemy's block rate. If the enemy triggers Chen Gong's trap (reducing burst, causing confusion), position Liu Bei at (11,20) in advance to limit the effect of the first trap.

When the boss, Zhang Liao, appears, keep at least 2 control skills. When he charges up for a fire attack, use Jian Yong's stun to interrupt, while Zhang Fei triggers the poison effect of the serpent spear from behind. Note that Zhang Liao has a counterattack and chain attack ability, so it is suggested that Liu Bei apply defense buffs to the main force every turn, with Huang Zhong prioritizing the killing of the archers around him. If the Song Xian betrayal plot is triggered, the catapults will attack allies in confusion, at which point quickly clean up the remaining enemies. Resource allocation should include stockpiling cardamom and strategy points. Before the battle, enhance Zhang Fei's weapon to +3 hit, and have Liu Bei wear armor that increases strategy recovery. When encountering elite units with high block rates, switch to Guan Yu using the Azure Dragon Blade (critical hit rate +50%) for a strong attack. If the attack misses in high difficulty, immediately use the SL method to restart.

The core of this stage lies in using hit-rate equipment to break through defenses, while avoiding traps and reinforcements. Practice more on flank attacks and timing for skill interruptions, prioritizing the elimination of archers and mages with control effects. Prioritize equipment cultivation for hit and critical hit attributes, gradually forming a suppressive output rhythm, which will allow for a quick clearance of the stage.
