Chapter 1563: Black Fog? The Heart of the Earth's Core?

Second advancement, third advancement—

each time they were damage skills.

Fourth advancement, fifth advancement—

first was the reconnaissance 【Staff · Crystal Ball】,

and then the current 【Staff · Spell Counter】.

Li Yao could clearly feel

that the rewards were shifting toward functionality.

This was a good thing.

As his strength gradually improved,

every strong enemy he encountered was not an existence that could be killed by stacking burst skills.

The role of offensive skills was gradually decreasing.

"It seems my initial route was correct."

"Only learn passive skills and skills with functionality!"

【Staff · Spell Counter】 had almost no improvement for bullying the weak,

but if he were to fall into a bitter battle with an enemy of equal strength,

it was simply a shameless existence!

He didn't know what others would think as there was no actual combat yet,

but he knew

that if someone applied a Spell Counter to him,

a domain skill that could originally be opened for ten minutes could only be opened for five.

Various skills would also have to be used sparingly.

The impact on the battle situation was extremely exaggerated!

"Sure enough, none of the Teamfight Tactics Chess Player's exclusive skills are trash!"

"Each one is tailor-made for me at that time."

"Finally, there is the designated Hextech."

Li Yao fell into deep thought.

In his current state,

the best choice must be a Hextech that boosts immediate combat power.

At the same time, the Hextech choice needed to be a good fit.

"Choose a bond-exclusive Hextech?"

"The current major bonds are Void, Assassin, and Fate."

"The effect of Void is summoning, and there are too many low-combat-power attachment chess pieces; at the same time, it has already reached the maximum number of 'eight Void', so there is no room for improvement, thus excluded."

"Fate is strong, and it has the future strongest firepower, Xerath, but the quantity is too small; it counts as an investment, not immediate combat power, thus excluded."

"In other words, my choice is actually only the Assassin bond?"

Li Yao muttered.

"The most critical thing is that the Assassin bond is not like Fate and Void; Assassin Emblems can be synthesized! As long as you have a Spatula, you can make any chess piece an Assassin!"

"Chess pieces obtained later, including the Shadow of War currently being refined, can all become Assassins and gain the bonus!"

The hesitation in Li Yao's eyes vanished, gradually becoming firm.

"Assassin-exclusive Hextech."

"There aren't many choices."

Countless Hextech icons flashed through Li Yao's mind.

Finally,

it stopped on a cloud of smoke.

"That's you!"

【Congratulations! You have obtained the Gold-grade rune, Smoke Bomb!】

【Smoke Bomb: When an Assassin chess piece first drops below 60% health, it enters a three-second stealth state, becoming untargetable, and removes all negative effects; cooldown 60 seconds.】

This was Li Yao's carefully considered choice. ===== CHAPTER 1565 =====
