Chapter 159: Moonlight Herbalist, a Powerful Support

After mutation, the moonlight grass resembles the aloe vera healer from Plants vs. Zombies 2 in appearance.

After mutation, the moonlight grass's body is mainly green, and it holds a moonlight staff in its hand.

It emits a hazy moonlight that illuminates an area of several hundred meters around it.

【Moonlight Herbalist】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Skill: Moonlight Introduction: The Moonlight Herbalist itself has no attack ability, but it can provide healing to surrounding plants and enhance their combat power.

……

"A support-type plant?"

In a team battle, the unit responsible for main damage output is certainly important, but providing healing and adding buffs to other units as support is equally crucial.

Even from a certain perspective, the importance of support may surpass that of the damage-dealing unit.

Without support's protection, even if the damage unit's attack is extremely high and its lethality incredibly strong, it might accomplish nothing before being cut down by the enemy.

At the same time, the presence of support allows the front line to endure longer, reducing its casualty rate.

Therefore, Su Hao looks forward to this moonlight herbalist that can both heal and grant buffs to surrounding plants.

The Moonlight Herbalist has only one skill, and its ability to heal surrounding plants and grant buffs is closely related to this skill.

Immediately, Su Hao's thoughts shifted slightly, and he opened the detailed information of the Moonlight skill.

【Moonlight】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: As long as plants are under the moonlight of the Moonlight Herbalist, their recovery and growth speeds can be increased.

After consuming sufficient energy or nutrients, the Moonlight skill will be fully activated; plants under its moonlight will see greatly increased recovery and attack speeds, and receive reduced damage.

The Moonlight skills used by different Moonlight Herbalists can stack, up to a maximum of ten layers.

……

"This moonlight is great!"

After reading the details of the Moonlight skill, Su Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise.

The effect of this skill is somewhat more impressive than he imagined.

First, under normal circumstances, any plant within the moonlight grass's illumination range can have its recovery and growth speeds increased.

This state is equivalent to a passive skill; as long as the Moonlight Herbalist remains alive, it automatically emits moonlight, allowing surrounding supernatural plants to grow faster and recover more quickly.

Besides that, after consuming nutrients or energy, the Moonlight skill can be fully activated.

After full activation, not only can the surrounding plants gain stronger recovery ability, but they can also have faster attack speeds and receive reduced damage.

Moreover, the moonlight effects of different Moonlight Herbalists can stack, up to ten layers! This ability provides tremendous help to both frontline fighters and rear-line damage units, greatly enhancing the combat power of these supernatural plants.

The only drawback is that fully activating the Moonlight skill consumes energy or nutrients.

In Su Hao's territory, there are too many places that need energy crystals; even tens of thousands of them are insufficient. However, before the Moonlight Herbalist scales up, there's no need to worry too much about energy consumption.

Subsequently, Su Hao had Xiao Anni mutate several moonlit grasses and conducted detailed experiments on their moonlight skills.

Finally, Su Hao concluded that whether it is a regular Moonlight Herbalist or a giantified Moonlight Herbalist, the moonlight effect is the same.

Likewise, each layer of moonlight increases the surrounding supernatural plants' growth speed, recovery speed, attack speed by about 1%, and provides about 1% damage reduction.

Simply placing ten Moonlight Herbalists around a plant will increase its growth, recovery, and attack speeds by 10% each, and grant it 10% damage reduction.

The only difference between a giantified Moonlight Herbalist and a regular one is the range of its moonlight.

A regular Moonlight Herbalist's moonlight covers only one or two hundred meters, whereas a giantified Moonlight Herbalist's skill range is larger, covering five or six hundred meters.

Overall, the giantified Moonlight Herbalist offers better cost-effectiveness.

Fortunately, Hua Yao and her four flower spirits have become moonlight botanists, able to use their racial talent without consumption at night, and the consumption for other flower spirits using their racial talent at night is also reduced.

Consequently, the likelihood of cultivating giant crops will also increase.

Perhaps before long, Hua Yao and her companions will be able to cultivate enough giantified moonlit grass for the giantified Moonlight Herbalist's moonlight to illuminate the entire territory.

After gaining sufficient understanding of the Moonlight Herbalist, Su Hao continued to have Xiao Anni use her mutation ability on the remaining first-rank supernatural plants.

Among these supernatural plants, most are ranged and melee attack units.

The overall combat power of melee plants is comparable to that of purple-gold bamboo, while the attack power of ranged plants is slightly weaker than that of the watermelon shooter.

Besides that, there is also a control-type plant, which is one of Su Hao's most satisfactory mutation results.

Just like support units, control-type plants can also play a crucial role in team battles.

If a team lacks any control, agile enemies can come and go as they please, impossible to restrain.

However, with a control-type unit present, if the enemy still dares to do so, they must prepare themselves to be permanently restrained.

Once forcibly controlled within our position, under dense and powerful attacks, even if the opponent is a second-rank or even third-rank supernatural being, they will ultimately face a dead end.

After mutation, the bloodvine resembles the timid thorn from Plants vs. Zombies in appearance.

However, these vines are covered with bright red blood lines, giving them a more ferocious look.

【Giantified Bloodvine Thorn】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Skill: Vine Binding (By consuming energy crystals or nutrients, releasing multiple vines toward a 500-meter diameter range around it, binding enemies within and draining their blood to weaken them.) Introduction: It possesses no attack ability itself, but its vines are extremely tough; once bound, even a supernatural being finds it hard to break free.

……

"Five hundred meters? This vine's coverage is truly huge!"

Su Hao smiled slightly, nodded in satisfaction; the range is large and its toughness extremely high—once a first-rank supernatural being is bound, escaping is no simple task.

As long as there are enough giantified bloodvine tendrils, even a second-rank supernatural being would find it no easy feat to break free.
