Quinn turned to look up at Tessa, who was just above his head, riding on Nachtia, who had stretched out her neck to use a small blast of her breath weapon on the elementals.
"How does your group get anything done?" He asked.
"Well, normally, Lotus does the melody, and the Golems harmonize. If we have Sister Rae with us, she will add a background symphony. But she’s calmer after the first time. Sister Lotus is just too excited about meeting new people today." Tessa joked.
"Her healing is incredible, though. I don’t think that we’ve taken any noticeable damage with whatever healing spell she is using." Quinn added as he prepared to move forward.
"Yeah, long duration is her specialty. Only when the group starts taking major damage will the rest of us have to step in."
The group moved to the first boss, and the ranged members moved to the left and right, remaining along the outermost ridge of the clearing, where the boss’s attack skills shouldn’t hit them if the tanks placed it properly.
The melee group charged, and Tessa laughed as Ophelia’s claws caught on the Elemental’s chest and gave it an unintentional body slam.
Most knockdown effects didn’t work on bosses. But whatever skill she had been using apparently did.
The mages unleashed their spells on the defenceless boss as the rest of the warriors got into position, and then Quinn stepped back with a smirk and let the boss engage Dana’s Golems.
If they were going to try to steal the boss from him, why not see if the constructs could take the beating in his place? Not every mage was a soft and squishy liability that needed protecting.
Even if this one was adorable in fox form.
Dana hadn’t wanted to transform, but she had quickly realized that [Beast Form] actually granted her a substantial bonus to her spell power.
Lotus transformed into the Tree of Life, and the singing stopped, while she still danced in place to the song in her head, shaking her branches as pulses of golden healing light washed over the fight.
Tessa kept her buffs active on the warriors, and periodically sent [Smite] and [Holy Slash] attacks at the boss.
"Well, this is unconventional." The White Dragon Cleric muttered as he also began to cast [Smite].
There was nothing for him to do, as Lotus had a constant healing effect active, and the damage that the melee group was taking wasn’t overwhelming the combination of Ophelia’s damage transfer and Lotus’ passive heals.
Tessa winked at him. "Yeah, she’s a bit of an oddball, but she’s fantastic at her job. You should see what happens when you put a fluffy beastkin in the tank position."
The other Cleric laughed. He could only imagine the enraged expression a Green Dragon Cleric would have if someone dared to damage the fluffy thing.
She was already sending extra healing effects to Dana’s Greater Golems, the Dragon Hounds, and they weren’t taking any damage.
"I just wish that I had more than one offensive spell." He muttered.
"Talk to Karl later. He can likely teach you something. Like this." Tessa suggested, then cast [Consecrated Ground] under the boss, increasing the Holy Damage it took, and the damage reduction of the melee fighters.
