Playing Elsword in Japan with high latency on PC? Experienced players' solutions + career matching guide
As a six-year veteran player who has been playing the Chinese version of Elsword while studying in Japan, I deeply understand the pain of overseas players facing "skills missing" and "combo interruptions". Actual tests have found that after using the QuickFox return accelerator, the delay from Tokyo to Shanghai server dropped from 270ms to 89ms, which is equivalent to switching from "slow motion mode" to "silky combo" state. This article will share network optimization tips and exclusively analyze the configuration of cross-border battles for the three popular professions.
1. Why is the direct connection from Japan to China lagging? Physical distance is a major flaw
The Chinese server is located in Shanghai, and the physical distance causes Japanese players to experience at least 150ms of basic delay. In actual tests, when Tokyo uses ordinary broadband connection:
• Character movement delay: 200-300ms
• Awakening skill release delay: up to 500ms
• Cross-server team matching failure rate: 37%
At this time, use QuickFox's "Intelligent Routing Optimization" function to establish a dedicated line connection through the Hong Kong node, which can reduce the 60% packet loss rate. It is recommended to turn on the accelerator and enter the training ground to test the smoothness of "Instant Step Cancel Backswing". Ideally, it should be able to seamlessly connect more than three sets of combos.
2. Career configuration optimization: special adjustments in a multinational environment
1. Scarlet Flame Warrior (suitable for 120-150ms environment)
• Core Skills: Flame Assault + Explosive Flame Field
• Combo formula: Start with "Phoenix on the Prairie" → Delay compensation of 0.3 seconds and then "Dragon Break"
• Equipment item priority: Attack speed +12%, skill cooldown -15%
2. Dimension Witch (needs a stable environment below 90ms)
• Must-have rune: Space-Time Rift (shorten the black hole absorption pre-swing)
• International battle skills: Predict and release "Void Imprisonment" 0.5 seconds in advance
• Pet selection: It is recommended to carry "Swift Civet" to offset the 20ms fluctuation
3. Holy Spirit Guardian (High Latency Savior Occupation)
• Invincible frame skill: "Divine Protection" can cover the 80% delay fluctuation period
• Auxiliary configuration: Aura skills are not affected by the network
• The value of multinational team building: team enhancement effects are stable and effective throughout the process
3. Advanced Network Optimization Solution
After three months of testing, the following combination is recommended:
1. QuickFox turns on "eSports Mode" + "UDP Acceleration"
2. Disable the "cross-server matching" function in the game
3. Reset the acceleration node after server maintenance every Wednesday
Special note: During the evening peak hours of Japan's NTT line (20:00-23:00), it is recommended to manually switch to the "Osaka-Shanghai" exclusive channel in the accelerator to reduce the peak delay of 47%.
After actual testing and optimization, the Dimension Witch has now been able to maintain a stable top 50 ranking in the Japanese server ladder. It is recommended that overseas players use QuickFox to warm up for 10 minutes before forming a team dungeon to ensure that the network status meets the skill release frame rate requirements. After all, in Elsword, a 10ms gap may be the difference between a perfect combo and an empty combo.
