Wow, what an update.
I actually whisper-screamed when I read the start of that paragraph. Ain't no Art better than a Cultivation Art. This will last us the rest of our time in the Inner Sect.
Christ, a Darkness/Wind art that turns us into a dodge tank. And "Intangibility"? Holy shit.
And something that is either a promising sign or an uncomfortably bitter pill is the cost. Starts off at 5 meridians and goes up to 8, and the XP costs are through the roof. This art is probably gonna be the centerpiece of our cultivation efforts.
In such a rush she can't spell "home" correctly.
Holy shit, we're going on an actual adventure! Sounds fun.
And Ren gets an incredibly scary sword as a gift for this adventure.
Yrs throwing shade at us, I was also wondering what on earth could possibly be taking so long.
Well, if we have to split up, then the Illusionist is going to be hard-countered by Ren's light. We got a direct melee combatant, which we've shown we can handle perfectly well without Zhengui or Hanyi, but we got a 3rd mystery box cultivator who is evidently quite stealthy and who we need to keep an eye out for.
Well shit. After that vote of confidence, of course Qi will go on ahead and butt heads with the entire assembly.
Well, we have enough AoE hazards that the lower tier guys are chumps, as our prelims display has proven. FVM is obvious, and I believe that PLR has an AoE thing now too. I look forward to the tactics session.
This is going to be awesome.

she also has three green spirits - one of which was already stalling green spirits while yellow - while most cultivators have no more than one, few two.

Ling Qi specializes in anti-crowd. Thanks to one technique, the lesser Cultivators should be more helpful to her than their allies, as she can recharge off them. She also has two powerful Spirits to help.

Strategy in short.
[ ] Plan: The Night Parade of One Thousand Demons
-[ ] Approach with as much stealth as can be mustered, get to within 300 meters or so, and then activate Forgotten Vale Melody at maximum range, scale up to Traveller's End ideally before an organized response can be mustered. Proceed to abuse the control effects to drag the enemy formation back towards allied forces. Abuse the poor visibility to allow Zhengui to hide in the landscape, launching sneak attacks on the enemy as baited in by Hannyi (Who should be a fairly convincing decoy for Ling Qi in the darkness even beyond them sharing the FSS attack thematics), redeploying and supporting them as able while continuing to pin and drag the enemy, with PLR techniques used for additional control as needed. Sixiang will provide overwatch and dispel support against enemy attempts to break free. On allied force arrival, detonate Traveller's End with Joyous Toast, and shift to duel tactics.

I believe those are the levels that we need those meridians. So 2x spine at 1, , another at 3, and a 4th and 5th leg at 5 and 8. Or it could be that we only need 5 meridians, starting with a leg/spine at 1, then leg/2 spine at 3, 2 leg/2 spine at 5 and 3 leg/2 spine at 8. I never can remember which it is.
Needs more Zhengui Dynamic Entry.

Laughs in Cai party songs.
Wait, those fuckers stole our arts!?
This is una-fucking-cceptable.
This is a grudge that will last for a thousand generations!
...although it is kinda funny considering we just got back from hangin' out with Aunt Grinning...
Thinking on how these guys are probably relatively battle hardened bandits, with maybe three Greens meaning their probably a big fucking deal in a local level, yet we could probably take of them on at once, that feels pretty great.
Cultivation is awesome.
For such a straightforward conversation, this felt pretty badass.
Was kinda hoping we could show off our scary supporting skills with our mini army, but I guess I can accept fighting one verses one hundred
Guess it's time to start building a reputation. Can't wait to tell Mom all about it.

Probably not enough time for that given your current skills

Multi-attacker bonus explicitly exist so that a group of cultivators can punch up... On the other hand they're qi batteries for Ling Qi. I suppose which effect is stronger depends on *how* the engagement happens.
Bandits? Sun Liling's threats make sense now. I guess the Sun bought the Meng and maybe some Bai deserters? Interesting.
It's kind of fun imagining what these soldiers see in the moon wraith standing next to Cai Renxiang.

She did just fight a similar set up like last month with the Suyin event. And LQ has only gotten stronger since then.

Well we literally just got it and haven't started studying it yet so not at all, I believe

The math here seems to not have been updated.
Also here's hoping this will allow us to breakthrough into our B-rank stealth skill.

To stall until Cai gets there, not to win.

Careful, in the tournament they weren't organized, while this is a disciplined force that will at least try to take advantage of multi-attacker bonus and its ability to punch up.
It begins.
Some thoughts in no particular order:
the kraken Zhengui and Hanyi to help Ling Qi deal with the greens.
Optionally, throw Zhengui into the fight early, though I lean against it.
Some thoughts in no particular order:
- This is where we feel the pain of drawing out our art completion. Capped SCS or TRF would help.
- Hanyi isn't ready for mass combat. She has bad defenses and her only area attack does nothing against opponents with qi.
- Unlike in the caverns with Suyin, flight is an option. It should keep many of our opponents from meaningfully attacking us, and weaken the attacks of others.
- Recovering qi should be no problem until the scrubs are done for.
- FVM is clearly our best tool here, and FSS will be strong after.
- We know we're going into combat and when and will have time to prepare. This seems like a good time to properly abuse our buff cascade, possibly including PLR's Joyous Toast to make FVM stronger.

The 1 and 3 mean which level it's required at.
Also, the reason for the confidence is the enemy's support. Our build works by making it so that enemies that can't nuke us get drained to make us more powerful. A lot of support means a target rich environment.

Well a lot of people are saying this is going to be a piece of cake. May I suggest for our tactics to not hold back or underestimate them? We know the effects of FSS can be brutal. Lets use the most offensive parts of that on the green realm cultivators. Its likely they've researched on LQ and CRX's abilities. If so, they know we need time to build up our songs. So they'll probably try to hit us fast, hard and immediately. We should be wary of that possibility from the beginning and ready to dodge.
This is why we choose Grinning Moon. It's perfect.
Ling Qi is just happy being Ling Qi.
Not a plan but now that we have a bunch of soldiers maybe we could see if Shengui's renewal aspect can be used for healing. If any of them get wounded he's large enough to carry a few while walking back to town and it could be a useful skill to be aware of in the future.

Yeah, I get that Ling Qi is specifically designed as an anti crowd fighter, but the problem is that the enemy knows it. Ling Qi showed her full power in the open tournament and I fully expect the enemy to have some nasty surprises, like that scrub with the tool against the mist. Not to mention that cultivators' ability to punch up when acting as a disciplined group is the core of imperial army doctrine, they surely know how to use their numbers, unlike those at the tourny or the rat people.
