First the conclusion: there is no absolute god, only the fishing method that suits you best. I am A Xing. Today I will use data to dismantle the core mechanisms of these three Westward Journey characters. After reading this, you can choose for yourself.
Tang Monk - Buddhist system controls the market and has the most stable income curve
Skill: Buddha's light shines, releasing a circular area that lasts for 5 seconds. When all fish in the area are caught, an additional 15% gold coin income will be obtained (does not stack, but the explosion rate will be increased).
Actual measurement data: In the third sea area (high-level fish accounts for 40%), if Tang Seng is idle for 1 hour, the average income per shot is 12.7% higher than without skills. Note that this bonus is not valid for BOSS fish, but the benefits will explode when ordinary fish are densely packed.
Disadvantages: The skill cooldown is 45 seconds, the coverage time is only 11%, and the field range is limited, requiring manual adjustment of movement. Suitable for Buddhist players who don't want to frequently change ammunition or chase high-power fish.
Sun Wukong - crit gambler, extremely high limit
Skills: Golden hoop shattering, a single cannonball is fired instantly, causing 200% basic damage, and has a 30% probability of triggering a free combo (combo shells do not consume gold coins, and the damage is doubled).
Actual measurement data: When hitting a single target, the expected damage multiplier is 2.6 times (1 shot is 2.6 times). But the key is that after the combo is triggered, the next shot can still be triggered. In theory, the ultimate combo can clear the screen with one shot. I tried triggering it 4 times in a row, and killed a 128-fold golden arowana with one shot, making a net profit of 3,000 gold coins.
Disadvantages: Use with caution by non-chiefs. In the actual test of 100 shots, the number of combos triggered was only 26, with a huge variance. Moreover, Golden Cudgel Shatter deals single-target damage and is not as effective as range skills when facing fish schools. It is suitable for players who like excitement and have ample gold coin inventory to give it a try.
Zhu Bajie - the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, the limit of battery life
Skill: Nine-tooth nail rake. When hit by a cannonball, there is a 40% chance of blocking damage, and gold coins equal to 50% of the blocked damage value will be restored. At the same time, the flight speed of own projectiles is increased by 20%.
Actual measurement data: After hanging up for 2 hours in the fourth sea area (fast fish + dense barrage), Zhu Bajie's survival rate is 34% higher than other characters, and the gold coin loss is reduced by 22%. Because he can get back his money by blocking, and because of his fast flying speed, it is easier to hit moving fish, so he is suitable for being idle for a long time or for novices to save resources.
Disadvantages: Zhu Bajie did not break out, and Qing Dayu was slow. When encountering a single super high-power fish, it may only deal basic damage with one shot, which is not as good as Sun Wukong's direct attack. Moreover, the block recovery mechanism has very low returns in the low-magnification fish area, so it is recommended to use it at least in the third sea area.
Comprehensive comparison table (not listed, just say it directly):
Fishing efficiency (burst): Sun Wukong > Tang Monk > Zhu Bajie
Steady growth of gold coins: Tang Monk > Zhu Bajie > Sun Wukong
Suitable scenarios:
Beginners save diamonds to buy ammunition: Zhu Bajie (rich blood will pay back the money)
Achievements for brushing advanced fish brush: Tang Monk (Winning steadily)
Want to give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle: Sun Wukong (remember to buy it and resurrect it)
Final suggestion: use Zhu Bajie to run the map in the early stage, switch to Tang Monk to earn gold coins in the mid-term, and use Sun Wukong to gamble your face in the later stage when you have more money. Cross-dimensional collision of characters from Journey to the West? In fact, the numerical design is quite rigorous, and there is no random planning. You can also play with a 0 yuan party, and the character fragments will be covered after receiving the daily benefits.
