Li Yao's control of the rhythm was simply superb. Although crossbows had only recently become popular, equipable items like Sleep Darts, Paralysis Darts, and Poison Darts were not that rare.
Many teams used them when fighting tough monsters and bosses.
It's not just that such items were expensive for ordinary players, but because monsters have resistances to these attributes.
For instance, with sleep and paralysis, a monster would often become much harder to put to sleep or paralyze after being affected three times in a short duration.
Even some monsters have unilateral resistance, rendering these items useless.
Moreover, in the ancient gods' game, there are so many different types of items available, there are too many alternatives to these darts, like Paralysis Smoke Bombs, Sleep Tubes, and so on.
However, the use of such control items also has many restrictive conditions, so players did not realize how powerful precise control over the combat rhythm could be.
