Mc still didn't get a reward for the event huh... and those debuff skills she picked did a serious number on her really hope there is a way to get rid of them... and for her to seriously invest some exp in her own stats... I don't think she ever did other than in the form of her skills...
The event isn't over yet. Believe it or not, Leah isn't the main course of the event, the other players think she's the event boss, but the event is "just" 10 in-game days of a monster surge attacking the frontier settlements and maybe making an incursion into the inner parts of the civilised kingdoms. The monster race players would be having a field day being able to blend in with the attacks and getting some exp out of this event unlike the previous one where they basically couldn't participate.
We're maybe 1-2 days into this event. There's a lot more to come.
Leah's stats are seriously jacked. She has every incentive into dumping a lot of resources into her stats because 1% is added to her immediate retainers (and with Sugaru, 1% of its stats are passed on to the ant legion due to the same skill) It's this stat inheritance which allowed for the loophole in having the ants kick the crap out of low-mid level players while being effectively "level 1", hence having them get bonus exp for killing entities that have far more exp directly invested into them.
Reminder: Players start with 100xp to allocate how they see fit, assuming of course neutral racial/birt trait costs. Leah counteracted her -20xp Beautiful birth trait with +20 Albinism, -20xp for Elf race with +30 for Poor Sight to start with 110xp. She had about 410xp by the time she started digging around for the Retainer skill and to do that she unlocked a lot of skills. And then still had xp left over to modestly improve the stats of five entities. tldr; 400xp goes a long way.
Contrast that with a
3000xp cost to only rebirth into Queen of Destruction/Demonlord. Gathering that 3000xp had Leah order the wholesale slaughter of everything possible within her private garden, which took a few hours to accumulate. That doesn't count any unique skills associated with the new race like the new unlocks available when she pit-stop rebirthed into a High Elf, which incidentally only cost 200xp. Merely double what players start with.
There's just a number of
"reasons" why she lost, which will be explained in the future chapters. The obvious ones is that she's in a debuff field, got slammed with a pretty good strat to make full use of the fact that it's a one vs many, and a lot of on-the-fly adapting to her unique deficiencies in this encounter. Let there be no doubt, Wayne got his revenge for the two-time donkey punch PK'ing he suffered from Leah, even though he doesn't realise it as such.
