All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

Chapter 155 Skill Upgrade

For example, external forces, such as upgrading soldier skills, require the Troop Upgrade Workshop. This basic Sky Island building, which is related to upgrading troop skills, can only be obtained as a basic reward after each wave of clearing in the early stages. What's even more difficult is that the Defense Tower Upgrade Workshop can be obtained during the novice assessment period, but the Troop Upgrade Workshop is not available during the novice assessment period.

The only way to quickly upgrade unit skills is through special items. So how do you get these special items? Open gift packs and exchange them with Endless Points. As for other methods, such as drops, it's simply impossible!

Moreover, even if you have this kind of fast upgrade item, you can't use it directly. You need to build a unit upgrade workshop and let the corresponding unit enter it before you can use it directly. Otherwise, that type of unit cannot obtain this skill.

To give a simple example, this skill-upgrade-fast item is like a piece of code. Using it directly is like directly inputting this code into your brain, which is useless because the code doesn't work on everyone; it only affects specific targets.

Therefore, this direct input method is basically useless. You must find the specific object and rewrite its basic code to make the code have basic execution capabilities.

This item has a similar effect; it can only be used in basic buildings like the Troop Upgrade Workshop to imprint this function on all the troops you recruit. Using it directly on troops is practically useless.

Correspondingly, the defense tower upgrade workshop that Yang Fei will soon obtain works on a similar principle. Defense towers that can be upgraded directly using items must be used inside the defense tower upgrade workshop and cannot be used on the defense tower itself; otherwise, using such items would be meaningless.

Enough of that, let's get back to the main point. Aside from using special items, getting units to learn on their own is even more complicated, given their aptitude...

This is something that cannot be directly represented by quantitative attributes.

Many people have no idea how much comprehension they possess, just as Yang Fei didn't know how lucky he was. This makes the idea of ​​self-comprehension seem somewhat vague and unrealistic.

Unless—this person is a genius, capable of effortlessly grasping skills and understanding their essence. Yang Fei doesn't consider himself a genius, so are these tentacle jellyfish geniuses?

However, this form of skill upgrade is not entirely without method. From the two premises above, we can deduce two conclusions: the promotion of a unit from beast to ferocious beast quality is a numerical inheritance relationship, and upgrading unit skills is extremely difficult.

But if those troop types change their four-dimensional attributes after being upgraded from beasts to ferocious beasts, can we interpret that they have undergone some changes to some extent?

For example, skill upgrades? Adding some special talents? After all, the attributes that were originally inherited have changed. It's fine if the attributes increase, but it's a bit troublesome if the attributes decrease. If there is a clear path of evolution between higher and lower levels, and evolving once results in a decrease in attributes, then it's better not to evolve at all!

Yang Fei knew very well that the four-dimensional attributes of his tentacle jellyfish had definitely been reduced. According to the records of "Tower Defense World", even the most ordinary troops have ten levels to improve at the beast level, elites have fifteen levels, and tentacle jellyfish, which are similar to lords, should have 20 levels to improve.

In other words, strictly speaking, the four-dimensional attributes of a level 20 beast tentacle jellyfish should be: "10000 HP, 600 ATK, 300 DEF, and 100 Spell Resistance".

After advancing to level 0 of the ferocious beast, this attribute should only increase, but the current four-dimensional attributes of these tentacle jellyfish are only: "1000 health points, 60 attack, 30 defense, and 10 magic resistance".

This reduction should be one-tenth of the normal value. These lost attributes could be used to upgrade the Abyss's foul energy by one level. Although exchanging attributes for skill upgrades seems like a loss, Yang Fei believes it's not a loss at all.

Once these guys reach the level of monsters, the increase in life level will still change the values. The current values ​​are meaningless, but skill upgrades will not change. Once these tentacle jellyfish have a new resistance, that's for real.

Even after being promoted to magical beasts, these tentacle jellyfish still possess this resistance. Unlike numerical reduction, this resistance cannot be reduced, meaning the skill can be inherited. This is far better than those worthless numerical increases, so Yang Fei is very happy about it.

As for whether the low stats will make this unit easy to defeat, as mentioned before, at least at the level of beasts and ferocious beasts, the main force of Sky Island is still defensive towers, that is, tower defense.

For someone like Yang Fei, who has enough defensive towers and sufficient damage output, the reduction in the stats of the Tentacle Jellyfish is meaningless. After all, Yang Fei doesn't need them on the battlefield; they can just stay in the Elegy Tower to gain experience, so the stats are irrelevant.

The first forty out of fifty recruitment slots were all ferocious beast-level tentacle jellyfish, which dampened Yang Fei's spirits. Because his troop nest hadn't been upgraded, the probability of recruiting other types of tentacle monsters might really be quite low.

However, even with this unit summoning card increasing the probability, only tentacle jellyfish appear one by one, with no other types of tentacle monsters appearing at all. This probability is a bit too low.

If that's the case, then even if I upgrade these two troop nests, the probability of recruiting other types of tentacle monsters probably won't be very high.

With the number of recruits reaching 49, Yang Fei's anxiety finally subsided. They were all tentacle jellyfish; he hadn't seen anything else. This last one was probably also a tentacle jellyfish.

However, things don't always go as planned. Just as the last tentacle monster was about to spawn, the tentacle nest suddenly trembled, and its 18 tentacles coalesced into a huge sphere, which began to expand wildly in all directions, as if a giant creature was about to emerge.

Yang Fei was taken aback. This recruitment animation was clearly different from the jellyfish animation, which was celebrated upon birth and handled with care. It meant that a new creature was about to be born.

As expected, when the tentacle ball swelled to about fifty meters, its tentacles slowly opened, and a jellyfish more than forty meters tall, floating in the air, with a transparent body and several black striped tentacles, slowly appeared in front of Yang Fei.
