DOTA's Madness Chapter 55

I'm back!

Chapter 55: Focus On Development

Seeing the trend of the outbreak of war, Pandaren also TP to the bot lane to support his teammates.

After he left, the only hero on the top lane was Rylai who's just resurrected. Facing Zhao Dingguo, who has advantages in equipment and level, Rylai did not dare to come out too far. She just tried to deny her soldiers and hara.s.sed Zhao Dingguo with her skills. In short, she did not want to let him develop smoothly!

In response to such hara.s.sment, Zhao Dingguo fought back frequently with Breathe Fire. The other time, he silently bore it and tried not to let his own rhythm be disturbed by the opponent.

He is waiting, waiting for his ultimate skill at level 6!

Dragon Knight's ultimate skill was called Elder Dragon Form, which was a transformation skill that could transform him from human form into a real dragon, and it lasted for one minute. Without transformation, the role of the Dragon Knight is limited. But once transformed into a dragon, his strength would be greatly enhanced, the movement speed and some skills and effects would be improved, and the attack type would also become a long-range breath!

By then, it would be much easier to kill Rylai!

After farmed a new wave of soldiers and successfully rising to level 6, Zhao Dingguo decisively learned the ultimate, then he smiled coldly and quickly pressed the skill b.u.t.ton.

Waited for so long, now was the time to recover interest!

After the transformation, his original human form swelled sharply and turned into a huge green dragon. This was level 1 dragon form, which gave Dragon Knight the skill Corrosive Breath as an attack, and it's especially effective for buildings!

When she first saw the Dragon Knight suddenly transformed, Rylai didn't realize her danger. Only after the dragon sprayed several breaths in succession, Rylai was panicked and found that Dragon Knight wanted to kill her!

But at this time, it's too late to escape!

A level 3 Breathe Fire was released, and Rylai's HP was instantly reduced by half. Immediately after, Zhao Dingguo used the Soul Ring and released Dragon Tail. This stun ability was originally cast at a very close range, but after being transformed into a dragon, the casting range of this skill was increased from 150 to 400. The stun time of more than two seconds was enough for Zhao Dingguo to deal fatal injuries!

Rylai was killed for the second time!

Of course, there was no need to mention the killing reward of more than two hundred gold coins. Because it's a solo kill, Zhao Dingguo enjoyed the experience of killing Rylai alone, and his level was raised to 7 in one fell swoop.

In addition, he pushed to the tower and started to attack it.

At this time, Zhao Dingguo had the time to s.h.i.+ft his attention temporarily to the bottom lane.

Unlike two other lanes, the bottom lane currently gathered most heroes of two sides. The atmosphere here was extremely fierce. When Zhao Dingguo killed Rylai the second time, the heroes already clashed twice. Although Night Stalker arrived, the performance of Scourge has improved to some extent, the first tower which had not much HP left has been taken off by the Sentinel!

He also noticed that the Dark Ranger already had Power Treads and Mask of Death in hand!

Although Zhao Dingguo himself also had a Power Treads, a Soul Ring, and a few hundred gold coins, which was not worse than the Dark Ranger, the most powerful moment of the Dragon Knight was when he has the level 3 ultimate at level 16. But the Dark Ranger was different. Her ultimate was to pa.s.sively increase Agility, plus Trueshot Aura that could increase the attack damage, so her strong period arrived earlier than Dragon Knight!

I should find a way to overcome Traxex in equipment!

This way, she can be blocked in the next battle! By the time he reached level 16, Zhao Dingguo's Dragon knight could become the most powerful in team battles and completely destroyed the Sentinel!

After confirming the plan in his heart, Zhao Dingguo ignored the bot lane and continued to push the tower on his own lane.

Every late carry must have a lonely heart!

If a carry couldn't help but partic.i.p.ate in team fights, it's likely that he himself would die many times, and eventually would not develop at all. On the contrary, as long as his equipment could keep up, even if his own side was in disadvantages in the early and mid-game, he could finally rely on the power of the later period to reverse it!

However, the Sentinel side certainly noticed that Zhao Dingguo was the only late carry and would not let him make money!

After being in a stalemate for a while, the Sentinel's heroes found that pus.h.i.+ng one tower was their limit, and it was impossible to successively push into the second tower. So, Bloodseeker took advantage of his ultimate which has already cooled down, ready to gank Zhao Dingguo. For reasons of concealment, he chose to TP, not to the first tower, but the second tower of the top lane.

Here, Zhao Dingguo has no vision of him.

Bloodseeker was very clever, knowing that once he TP directly to the first tower, Dragon Knight would see the teleportation array lit up and just turn around and leave. In that case, he may not be able to catch up. But if he landed at the second tower first, and then use the advantage of the field of vision to rush up, he would have the element of surprise!

Zhao Dingguo was really caught by him.

Because the duration of his ultimate skill was about to end, Zhao Dingguo was anxious to push off the first tower, so he stayed a little longer under the tower. It was such negligence that was exploited by Bloodseeker. The moment all ghouls died, and Zhao Dingguo was preparing to turn around, Bloodseeker protruded from the darkness and cast Rupture on him!

If you leave, you'll continue to lose HP! If you don't go, you are now still in the attack range of the defense tower!

Seeing Bloodseeker appeared, Zhao Dingguo was shocked, but he didn't panic but immediately made the most correct choice. It was definitely impossible to stay near the tower, so he ran down a few steps and ran out of the range of the tower. Once there was no tower attack, Zhao Dingguo stopped immediately. Although Rupture had initial damage, and he ran a few steps and lost some health, Dragon Knight himself was a Strength hero, so his current state, he could still have HP for a battle against Bloodseeker!

Bloodseeker obviously did not expect Zhao Dingguo to wait so calmly for him, he took a step ahead and gave Zhao Dingguo Bloodrage!

The effect of Bloodrage was undoubtedly very strong. Not only it could silence, but it also made the target lose HP over time, which was very remarkable at the early stage. Even at level 1, its duration was long – six seconds. If the target was a mage hero who relied on skills, being hit by this spell was equivalent to being abolished directly. However, as a skill that could be self-cast, it had a positive effect, that is, increase a certain basic attack power!

Each level of skill increases an additional 20% base attack damage!

In the previous battle, Bloodseeker raised it to level 2 for the sake of restraining the heroes such as Earthshaker and Jakiro, thus Bloodrage had a 40% increase in base attack and the duration was one second longer. Although Zhao Dingguo's Dragon Knight was silenced for seven seconds, he was tough, and was not particularly dependent on skills. And, with an additional 40% base attack, his attack power has been greatly improved!

In the face of such a Dragon Knight, Bloodseeker attacked a few times and found that he could not beat him!

If Dragon Knight was not silenced, a combo of Breathe Fire and Dragon Tail was enough to kill him!

Now Dragon Knight was silenced, the attack power of this hero was skyrocketed, he could still kill him!

When his HP was easily reduced to half, Bloodseeker knew that he had to run. Otherwise, once the duration of silence was over, he wouldn't be able to leave. He regretted it now and realized he should have asked another teammate to help. A full-HP Dragon Knight wasn't easy to kill, even if he has the ultimate skill!

“Dragon Knight, how about alone on the top lane? Isn't it stressful?”

At this moment, Jakiro, who noticed that Dragon Knight and Bloodseeker were having a brief fight, spoke.

After the battle on the bot lane, he reached level 6, but also died once. Although the level was okay, his equipment was very ordinary: three Ironwood Branches, a Magic Stick, and a Boots of Speed. However, although he hasn't made Arcane Boots, his MP was enough to support a round of skills.

Jakiro felt that Bloodseeker has come to gank Zhao Dingguo once, and was likely to come again. At that time, he may not be only one person coming, so Jakiro wanted to come and squat for Zhao Dingguo!

 Author's note: The so-called “squatting” means to hide in the dark to protect teammate and ambush enemy. Sometimes, you can see a single person making money alone on the front line. If you rush to gank him, a group of people would suddenly emerge from behind and fight back. This is a tactic used by support heroes to protect the late carry, and it's a common choice to counter gank.
