What is the most dangerous enemy? 6 6 301 ??? Overwhelming power? Shrewd tactics? No, the answer is more simple. 7 7 301 ??? The most dangerous enemy is the unknown. When you don't know your enemy, regardless of how weak they may be, they can prove fatal to the entire team. 8 8 301 ??? Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. If you want to evaluate the enemy's strength in combat, combat itself is not the only factor. 9 9 301 ??? First, you must consider the environment. If the enemy is familiar with their surroundings, they will have the upper hand. 10 10 301 ??? Second, how well does the enemy know you? If your opponent already knows your weaknesses and combat methods, you can't treat them according to your preliminary analysis. 11 11 301 ??? Three, what is their true objective? Aside from direct confrontation with the enemy, they also have strategic objectives. Ignore this point, and they'll lead you right into their trap. Don't say I didn't teach you anything. 12 12 301 ??? Four, what is the current state of you and your enemy? Aside from injuries and weaponry, what are their strengths and weakness? Can you use these to your advantage? All of these factors must be taken into account. 13 13 301 ??? There are still many other factors that influence your judgement. For example, as we all know, if you don't factor in the ballistic calculator, windage, and elevation when sniping, you will miss each and every shot. 14 14 301 ??? Exceptional and wise commandants have this intuition, allowing them to accurately assess the current state of the enemy. 15 15 301 Prior to the Ascendants making their presence known to the public, many people thought that such measures would not need to be taken into consideration while facing the mindless Corrupted. 16 16 301 But after graduation, the more you participate in combat, the more you understand the instructors' teachings. 17 17 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Especially...
