After getting over the fact that bully Elf stole her precious red buff, Nia headed toward Mid. Along the way, she pced a ward in one of the interses Tipmancer reended as top priority warding spots.

  And so, the ning phase began. She had to deal with a Pyromancer.

  "Do you know how to farm with Wizard?" Yuel asked.

  "Yeah, it's in the app," Nia g her phone again. "I slow them down before they arrive using Quid and then hit them with Windstorm. Ah, but they're all already here..."

  Sinia's team was slow at taking the red buff, the minions from both sides have already reached the ter of the ne and cshed. Ideally, a Wizard was supposed to slow down the ining wave with Quid to pack them into one spot, then bst them away with Windstorm from afar. This setup guarahat both spells hit the entire wave so it maximized damage.

  As, the enemy minions have already assumed their battle positions. The swordsmen fought on the frontline while the bowmen stayed behind. With such a distaween the frontline and the bae, it was impossible to hit all minions at oh Quid; the radius of the spell wasn't big enough at low levels.

  With that said, Nia could still hit the entire wave with Windstorm thanks to its amazing read width. It wasn’t optimal damage but it wasn’t that bad. Probably.

  "Do you know how to farm in this sario?" Yuel asked.

  "Hmm," Nia's eyes naturally gravitated toward the phone beside her. However, she couldn't find any further instrus regarding farming. The only advi Tipmancer was to do the Quid py into Windstorm. There was ion of what to do when the wave was already there and it was too te to use Quid.

  “Oh, I know," Nia cimed. “I’ll just hit them with the wind. Better than nothing.”

  "Wait. Get closer to the swordsmen and make sure they're within the first half of Windstorm, the half that knocks back. That’ll send them flying toward the bowmen."

  "Ok," Nia cautiously advaoward the frontlih Windstorm ready in target mode. The targeting animation was ly split into two parts to inform the caster where the first half of the spell will hit. That half had a knockback effect, which was crucial for this operation.

  Nia fit all the enemy swordsmen within the first half of the spell and unleashed a storm. The winds smmed into the swordsmen and shoved them to the bae. At the same time, the other half of the spell hit the bowmen in the back without repositioning them.

  This clustered all enemy minions into one packed area. It was time for Quid! Nia encircled the minions with a deadly quid. It damaged them over time and slowed them down, which made it harder for the swordsmen to return to the frontline.

  Her meical skill is det. Yuel o himself.

  Nia’s execution was swift but accurate as she ed one spell into another with o no dey. In Yuel's younger days, he used to mess up whenever he tried to spells quickly like that. Even though he kly what he should be doing, he was always either too slow or rushed too mu fear of being too slow. Either way, it often ended up as a disaster. Even now, he wasn’t so fluent with casting multiple skills in a row unless it ecific setup he practiced a lot.

  That feel when you know the right thing to do but often mess up, while there are pyers like Nia who don't know what to do but still pull it off somehow. Yuel smiled wryly. To be ho, he was a bit jealous of people who had such a good gaming sense. Perhaps he wasn't blessed with one or maybe he failed to develop one as a kid because he didn't py video games much before Cssmancers. Either way, it has been giving him a lot of trouble, ae all the regur practice he has been doing, the issue haunted him to this day. Sigh.

  At least, Nia won't need much coag in that area. Yuel cluded. The main thing Nia cked was game knowledge regarding the main 5v5 mode. That Yuel had in spades and will gdly share. So, given Nia’s already-det execution, she'll level up into a solid pyer in no time as long as she keeps abs knowledge from Yuel.

  The Windstorm plus Quid py almost wiped out the entire enemy wave. Such was the strength of an early-game Wizard. Its spells had both an amazing range and they hit hard thanks to the extra magical power ing from Wizard’s passive. This power advantage was only going to st Nia a couple of waves but it’ll be a big factor in gaining early-game momentum.

  "You won the ne," Yuel announced. "The Pyromancer should be retreating now, so you push on."

  "Um, but he's ing closer?"

  "Say what?" Yuel narrowed his eyes. This Pyromancer had no fear and showed zero respect toward Nia's ne advantage. Instead of retreating to the tower as he should, he approached the frontlio unleash his spells. What an absolute mad d.

  Low ranks. Right. Yuel smiled wryly. Of course, things like that often happe lower ranks. Most pyers here didn't know the importance of defense so they didn’t fall back at the right time. Most likely, that Pyromancer was only thinking about reg ne trol by wiping out Nia’s minions.

  Of course, it made seo try reg the ne whehe opportunity preseself. However, one also had to sider the resources they’ll spend to achieve that and the risk they'll be putting themselves in. Apparently, such judgments were beyond this Pyromancer's current level, so he charged at Nia's minions.

  With no enemy minio on the ne, Nia's soldiers naturally focused their fire on the ining Pyromaheir damage was devastating in the early-game, especially against a squishy target.

  "You probably kill him right here with Fireball," Yuel said. "Wait until the minions approach him and shoot him while he’s casting his spells."

  "Ok," Nia advanced a little and waited for her loyal minions to begin their assault.

  The swordsmen reached the Pyromancer and the enemy was about to retaliate. That’s when Nia unleashed Fireball. The spell ected and erased 25% of the Pyromancer’s HP.

  Okay, he's rattled. Yuel could tell by the Pyromancer’s sluggish movements. Clearly, that guy didn't expeia to aggress on him so quickly. The huge damage made the Pyromancer hesitate. He was no longer so sure he wao stay here and spend time unleashing his spells on the minions. However, he couldn't decide whether to retreat or not. So, Nia should capitalize on this situation and-

  You have killed an enemy!

  It was over in a matter of seds. Yuel didn't eveo say anything. Nia advanced on her own and attacked the Pyromancer along with all her minions. The Pyromancer ultimately decided to flee but he was only Lv.2, so he didn't have Burning Spirit to make a quick escape. As a result, Nia wiped him out with ease.

  Good rea there. Yuel thought. trary to the way Nia has been relying on Tipmancer for every little thing, she went after that kill of her own accord and made a fast judgment on the spot. Did her experience as an assassin main ki? She saportunity for a kill so she seized it without a moment’s hesitation.

  “I push now?” Nia threw a g Yuel.

  And already back to asking fuidance. Yuel smiled wryly. “What do you think? Should you push right now?”

  “Yeah. The Pyro is dead so I attack the tower.”

  “No, retreat. Their Jungler should be nearby.”

  “Ah, yeah, I guess,” Nia retreated without obje and only her loyal minio charging forward. Shortly, the enemy Vampire appeared from the jungle and sughtered the little soldiers. Sad story.

  About what I expected. Yuel he Vampire’s timing was in lih the textbook jungle-clearing routine. First, the Jungler cleared the Wraith Camp together with the Top Lahen, he usually went to clear the Wolf Camp op. After that, it’s the Hyena Camp near Mid.

  sidering how little time has passed from the beginning of the match, it was only natural the Vampire was somewhere around the Hyena camp. Whether he has finished clearing the camp was anybody’s guess but, either way, it was safe to assume the Vampire might be nearby. That’s why Yuel cimed that pushing Mid was a bad idea and he was right on the money.

  Yuel deduced all that basic stuff on the spot, but it was uandable for a newbie to not be able to do so yet, especially a pyer who mostly pyed 1v1. Yuel will simply have to teach her, ohing at a time. Nia’s gaming sense seemed to be sharp enough to quickly pick things up.

  The py he had in mind for Nia was also heavily based on game knowledge. It’ll be a good learning experience for her and, shall it succeeded, it will grant her a big advantage for the rest of this match.
