In the game Light Gaps, new players often ask why summoning flow is recommended. In their understanding, a novice team should be a balanced mix of different roles to form a versatile lineup that can handle various complex battle scenarios. In fact, when we delve into the current version, summoning flow shows excellent performance in terms of fault tolerance and diverse strategies.
Summoning flow, as its name suggests, revolves around the core combat idea of continuously spawning numerous fighters through summons, thereby overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers to achieve tactical superiority. Upon closer examination of several mainstream factions in the game, one will notice that powerful characters frequently emerge from the Assault and Annihilation factions, whereas most Speed Attack faction characters primarily serve as support tools. On the other hand, the overall strength of the Summon faction is quite good, but unfortunately, it lacks a core character, which somewhat limits the potential of the summoning flow.
However, summoning flow has its unique advantages. The summoned creatures play a significant role in battles, effectively helping to share damage, which makes the overall lineup less reliant on the front row's ability to withstand attacks. Moreover, in the middle and rear of the battlefield, you can continuously produce summoned creatures, combined with 2-3 healers at the back to ensure the health of the main damage dealer or protagonist. This way, you can leverage the advantage of a sea of troops. When it comes to the composition of the summoning faction, Captain Akana Dan must be mentioned.
Regarding Akana Dan, there is a very sharp evaluation in the gaming community: she is the only summoning god card that the summoning team cannot use. Take Box Girl, for example; she has the potential to become a key figure in the summoning faction, but her role as captain somewhat restricts her. If she could switch places with Bee or Hera, the overall strength of the summoning team would skyrocket. Box Girl, who appears to be a five-star character in disguise, becomes the highest-frequency summoner once fully unlocked.
Therefore, Akana Dan can be paired with an output-oriented T0 summon, Bez, to compensate for some deficiencies in the lineup. Bez uses melee attacks, and the damage he deals also provides him with a healing effect, solving his sustainability issue to some extent. In terms of team positioning, Bez is placed in the mid-row summon position, ensuring he has a decent environment for dealing damage. He won't be as vulnerable to focused fire as front-row characters, and he can advance with the main force. More importantly, even at lower levels, Bez still performs exceptionally well.
Galika is also one of the core characters in the summoning flow faction. She has a unique skill that allows her to summon a portal, from which more summoned creatures will continuously emerge. Galika's special skill also provides a protective shield to the summoned creature with the lowest health, further enhancing their survivability. In actual combat, Galika can be flexibly placed in the back, as she is a ranged attack character. From the back, she can safely deal damage and coordinate with other main damage dealers to maximize output. When Bez's level is not yet high, Galika, with her versatile offensive and defensive capabilities, is definitely worth prioritizing for development.
Limou, as a crowd control character, holds a high status in the summoning flow lineup. Although her damage output may not be particularly outstanding compared to other characters, her functionality is strong. Limou's entry skill is a disruptive move that can scatter the enemy's carefully arranged front-line formation and immediately summon a hypnotic sheep for additional control. When the number of friendly units on the battlefield is low and at a disadvantage, Limou's control over the enemy's front-line main damage dealer is especially effective, especially against enemies with strong rush abilities. She can slow down the enemy's offensive momentum. In the hands of a skilled player, she can even use the sheep's skills to stall high-cost rush characters.
Lastly, there is Hera, who has a synergistic skill with Captain Akana Dan. Specifically, for every additional friendly unit, all friendly units receive a percentage increase in damage. Therefore, summoning cards are more versatile than other attribute cards and can easily integrate into various lineups. For example, in a fast-attack lineup, a painter character can be added for support. In a burst damage lineup, adding Box Girl can help clear out elite monsters that the ultimate skills can't finish off. In a front-line rush lineup, Bez or Hera can be added to supplement the damage output.
When deciding how to build a summoning team in Light Gaps, if you choose a pure summoning lineup, you can carefully select core summoning cards, tank cards, support cards, healer cards, and cost-recovery cards. However, there is a crucial point to note: it is essential to balance the use of high-cost and low-cost cards properly.
