Many friends have asked how to play the Star Shooter in Adventure. Currently, there are mainly two strategies for playing the shooter, and of course, they are all built around mythic heroes. At present, there are only two relatively strong shooter heroes in the mythic category: one is Bi, who relies on answer-based bow and arrow output; the other is Pong Pong, who relies on dual guns for multiple shots. Next, I will introduce the gameplay ideas for both of them.
The first strategy revolves around building a team around Bi. He requires Shadow + Paladin + Thorn to be synthesized. Among these, only Shadow is relatively easy to produce, so you can start cultivating Shadow in advance. Although Shadow is only of elite quality, he is also a main damage dealer as a shooter. Every four normal attacks, he can deal an additional 70% attack bonus area damage, and his attack interval is only 0.3, making him very strong in the early stages of the level.
As for Paladin and Thorn, they can only be summoned through cards in the levels. If you have to prioritize, it's recommended to choose Paladin, because even if you get too many, she can still play a role. This is mainly due to her passive skill, which increases the attack speed of herself and adjacent cross-range teammates at the beginning of the battle.
In actual combat, if there are multiple Paladins, this attack speed can be stacked. For the core shooter hero "Bi" in this strategy, attack speed is very important, because his own attack interval is as long as 1.4 seconds, and he needs a certain increase in attack speed to achieve the expected burst. If Thorn comes, you can take it, but more often, you might need to use it to balance between the shooter and tank builds, after all, Thorn is essentially a control tank. For the "Bi" shooter strategy, he mainly serves a synthesis role.
Players with the means can also acquire Bi's exclusive gem. With the gem, Bi gains three powerful enhancements: the first is to restore mana upon killing a target, the second is to increase 1% damage for every 1% decrease in the target's health, and the third is to directly increase 50% damage to bosses. Basically, by the time this set is complete, it's about the same time the boss appears, so this damage boost to the boss is very useful.
In summary, the main strength of this set after it is formed lies in "Bi" himself. His base attack power is as high as 5050, at least twice that of any other shooter hero. Moreover, each of his skills can help him frequently release Sun-Piercing Arrows with a 200% attack bonus. This means that in the late game, enemies will have to withstand hits of 10,000 damage each time, and even the boss won't last long.
The second strategy for the shooter revolves around building a team around Pong Pong. Pong Pong's synthesis route is Ghost Warrior + Wildflower + Paladin. Among these, only Wildflower is a shooter, and she is of rare quality, with a lower chance of appearing than Ghost Warrior. Therefore, it's suggested to cultivate Ghost Warrior first, as it not only has a lower cost but also allows for a smooth transition to the assassin build if Wildflower doesn't appear later.
Of course, if Wildflower comes early, you can use her as a temporary replacement for Pong Pong. Both are shooters specialized in multiple shots, but Wildflower's skills mainly involve splitting attacks, hitting multiple targets, and the damage to a single target is not outstanding.
Therefore, it's necessary to synthesize Pong Pong as soon as possible. Although Pong Pong also relies on splash damage from an additional bullet for multiple shots, he starts with a 60% attack speed and has an attack interval of only 0.4, making his output frequency far superior to Wildflower's.
Pong Pong's gems, like Bi's, provide significant boosts, including a mythic gem that quickly increases attack power and a legendary gem that increases attack speed. For Pong Pong, the two attack-boosting mythic gems effectively compensate for his low base attack power of just over 2000, and their conditions for increasing attack power are easily met: one triggers every third attack, and the other activates when entering stealth. These are easily achievable for Pong Pong, who has a very short attack interval and a built-in stealth skill.
As for the legendary gem that increases attack speed, although it may seem redundant for Pong Pong, who already has a very short attack interval, the value of the increase is quite significant. It provides a 10% attack speed boost for each mythic hero on the field. In the late game, when multiple Pong Pongs are summoned, its practical effect is very noticeable.
This concludes the explanation of how to play the Star Shooter in Adventure. Each of the shooter strategies mentioned above has stable output capabilities, and once fully formed, they can handle any level of enemies. In practice, you can choose one of these strategies based on the low-quality heroes you have.
