The five players of Peerless City felt hopeless.
Besides Green Flag Wine, who was a plate armour Paladin, and Vegetarian Mosquito, who was a mail armour Hunter, the other three players were all cloth armour classes. Green Flag Wine wasn’t even a main tank, but an off-healer Paladin. Their current line-up was too squishy to compete with Ruling Sword.
Lu Li had identified this weakness from the very start of the match.
Although they had insane DPS and a healer that was extremely difficult to kill, they lacked players that could tank and receive damage for them. Once Deadly Golden Underwear was taken care of, their whole team fell apart completely.
Green Flag Wine had no choice but to stand guard at the choke point in case of a surprise attack from Ruling Sword.
Vegetarian Mosquito has a pet called Xiuma which had the ability to reveal Stealthed targets. However, since it was raining and wet everywhere, the black lion couldn’t be summoned.
