"Ah?!"
Outside the barrier, everyone, including Lan Pi, was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths: There is actually such a card? !
The next second, Lanpi suddenly realized.
It turns out that the previous game between Coach Shi and Ping Ju was not caused by a lag bug on the card table, but Coach Shi was probably facing the same situation as now!
As expected, he agreed to a draw with the opponent in order to keep his trump card!
At this moment, Wang Defa, as a poker player at the table, looked solemn.
He had two guesses, but neither of them was a good thing.
In the beam of light on the card, the figure made of blue light slowly walked out.
Afterwards, the cards were presented to everyone.
【Nameless Sword Spirit】
Break, 0 points, B
Attack 0+20, 100/100, 0/3
[Free Spirit - Passive]: The nameless sword spirit can be placed in any tablet
[Sword Body Resonance - Passive]: For every sword-related card on the field, the nameless sword spirit's attack power +5
[Sword Traces - Passive]: When the nameless sword spirit attacks, the target gains [Healing Ban] for 1 round.
(【Healing Ban】: The target's 【Healing】 is invalidated)
There are a total of 4 sword-related cards on the field: [Golden Knight] + [Breaking Sword] + [Demon Slayer] + [Nameless Sword Spirit], so +20 attack.
At this point, Shi Li felt more or less regretful.
If I hadn't shuffled the cards before, how great it would have been to have two [Nameless Sword Spirit] in the ace column.
So now this card is equivalent to gaining two 20-attack cards for free.
But there's no use regretting it, I've already rubbed it.
Anyway, [Break the Balance Sword] is also quite powerful, and it is the first time that a balanced special attack has been encountered so far .
[Nameless Sword Spirit] can only play in balanced and advantageous situations. In disadvantageous situations, it is basically impossible to keep the sword-related cards on its side.
Ultimately, it will be the only one that can increase its attack.
From this point of view, [Break the Balance Sword] is much stronger than it, especially in an environment like the Balance Zone.
Moreover, he always felt that bringing two [Nameless Sword Spirit] would squeeze the living space of the ace.
Some cards and tactics will target the aces that are in exposed positions. I have been killed by the old curator in this way many times.
He was very optimistic about the development of [Nameless Sword Spirit] and [Breaking Sword] into top-quality A-level cards, and they were top-quality A-level cards in different directions.
If you don't first develop the [Breaking Sword], you won't be able to preview the future development path.
In short, he can choose from the pool + preview the cards, and he believes that he will encounter other 0-point non-placeholder cards in the future.
So there's nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Wang Defa finished reading the cards and his eyes were startled.
"really……!"
He has seen the 0-point card.
I have also seen those that can be placed in the trump card position as an extra.
But I have never seen 0 points + extra placement.
(This deck of Shi Li is ridiculously strong for a player of his level.)
(Unless it's God-like luck, it must be related to the player's talent.)
(It seems that his talent as a poker player is naturally gifted.)
Of course, Wang Defa would not inquire about other people's privacy.
He was more concerned about the game in front of him.
The appearance of [Nameless Sword Spirit] gave him a new understanding of the cards.
I need to rethink my strategy.
Because this card comes after [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit].
So now he faces two choices.
The first option is to prioritize breaking through [Demon Slayer] and [Breaking Sword], then pull out the opponent's trump card and concentrate fire to win.
The opponent's trump card is only worth 10 points, and it is unlikely to pose any threat to the battle situation.
This method is the most efficient.
But if you ignore the three cards in the opponent's left column at the same time, you will have to bear their output.
In his opinion, the little bit of attack power of the card [Unknown Sword Spirit] is not a big problem.
The most threatening thing is its [Healing Ban] effect.
I have to admit that the opponent has matched this deck very well.
[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], this explosive output A-level card + [Healing Ban], will be very troublesome.
The second option is to kill the [Fighting Monkey] first, and then pose a direct threat to the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
The logic of this method is the opposite of option 1.
Leave the opponent's trump card unrevealed and prioritize dealing with the opponent's most threatening card.
In theory, there is no difference between these two options.
How to choose depends mainly on personal preference.
There will be some uncertainties in plan 1.
Option 2 depends on the specific operations of both parties in the game.
After thinking about it, Wang Defa decided to choose the second option.
He knew that both options had their pros and cons, but after careful consideration, he felt that option 2 was more secure.
After all, the [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] has completed its warm-up and its output is very explosive, so we cannot leave it alone.
During the entire thinking process, Wang Defa closed his eyes.
Because he knows that some players are very good at judging their opponents' intentions by observing micro-expressions.
Because he knew that Shi Li was just that kind of poker player.
So after making the decision, he quickly completed a series of operations.
As for Shi Li, he actually had no choice from the third round onwards.
The opponent's trump card will [move], so your only goal is to clear all the regular cards.
And just like that, the action phase arrives.
In fact, in this round, Shi Li's cards are very strong and extremely threatening.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] is at its peak attack power, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] is fully charged, and [Breaking Balance Sword] is fully charged.
So the round began, and the first to act was still the [Night Demon Leader].
【Ahahahahaha! 】
The white mist with the demonic shadow floated up and swooped down towards the [Fighting Monkey].
-35
【Mee-zha~! 】
Then it was [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] who helped her teammates to retaliate. She rushed forward, swung her nunchaku and hit the opponent's forehead twice.
-50, -50, (dizziness)
[Two-Combination Technique] has a control effect, so it can make [Night Demon Lord]'s [Difficult to Identify in the Fog] ineffective, losing 10 points of damage reduction.
However, due to the existence of 5 points of [shield], the opponent cannot be killed instantly. After dealing 100 points of damage, there are still 5 points of health left.
There is actually a game of not too big a size in this place.
That is whether Wang Defa will use [Exile] on [Night Demon Leader], and whether Shi Li will let [Nameless Sword Spirit] do the damage.
[Nameless Sword Spirit]'s attacks have negative effects, so they have a high priority.
As long as he makes up for the damage, the [Night Demon Leader] will definitely die.
But if he doesn't follow, then the [Night Demon Leader] has a chance to survive.
If [Nameless Sword Spirit] does not follow up with the damage, Wang Defa will [Exile] [Night Demon Leader], and it can survive and deal damage for one more round.
If [Nameless Sword Spirit] does not follow up with damage and [Night Demon Leader] does not [Exile], then it will also be killed by [Fighting Monkey]'s counterattack.
[Nameless Sword Spirit] follows the damage, [Night Demon Chief] will definitely die and if you don't [Exile] him, he can help the [Golden Behemoth Statue] + [Golden Demon Mother] behind him to block the attack.
In the end, Wang Defa chose a relatively stable strategy, [Exile].
The reason is very simple, that is, no matter how the psychological game is played, as long as you choose [Exile], there is a chance that the [Night Demon Chief] will not die.
His [Golden Behemoth] has thick blood, and the [Golden Demon Mother] has the ability to recover, so they are not afraid of the slight scratch damage from the [Fighting Monkey].
As for Shi Li, he obviously didn't want to leave any future troubles, so he chose to cause harm.
[Sword, come]
I saw the elegant blue figure with one hand behind his back and the other hand pointing a sword forward.
whoosh!
-20, (No healing)
The sword energy with negative effects penetrated the fog and reduced the health of the Night Demon Chief to 0.
Next, the two sides will exchange damage.
[Golden Behemoth] attacks [Fighting Monkey], causing 45 points of damage.
[Golden Demon Mother] attacks [Fighting Monkey], causing 30 points of damage.
[Golden Knight] attacks [Break the Balance Sword], causing 7.5 points of damage.
[ Red Fire Jump] attacks [Demon Hunter], causing 10 points of damage.
Among them, [Golden Knight] lost the meaning of restoring energy after [Nameless Sword Spirit] came out, because the opponent had [Healing Ban], so he could only be used as a sword.
[Red Fire Jump] has no choice. It only has 10 attack power. No matter whether it attacks [Fighting Monkey] or [Breaking Sword], its attack power will be swallowed by the opponent and become 0 damage.
On Shi Li's side, [Breaking Balance Sword] was on [defense].
Because he was not sure whether the opponent would choose [Exile], he saved the battle and waited for the next round.
And then [Demon Hunter] stopped moving.
[Fighting Monkey] launched an attack, hitting the [Golden Behemoth Statue], causing 15 points of [Piercing] damage.
Then there was a counterattack by the [Fighting Monkey], which happened 3 times in total, and all its targets were the [Golden Behemoth Statue].
The [Golden Behemoth] was dealt 7.5+7.5+7.5=22.5 damage, but it was blocked by 5 points of [Shield], leaving 17.5 points.
As for the damage to the [Golden Demon Mother], it can be ignored because it will be immediately replenished by its [Healing].
After the round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Vacant】【Jellyfish】【Vacant】
[Red Fire][Behemoth 232.5][Qiweng 82.5]
VS
【Sheep Rabbit 95】【Break the Balance 57.5】【Exorcise the Demon 85】
[Blade and Soul][Cover][Cover]
A new round has arrived, and this time there are no more cards to reveal, so we jump directly into the action confirmation phase.
"Xiao Xiao, I have to admit that you played pretty well."
At this time, Wang Defa suddenly smiled at Shi Li: "I didn't expect that you could force me into such a situation."
At this point, both sides have revealed an equal number of cards.
If you ignore the blood volume.
"You played pretty well, too."
However, Shi Li did not fall for it. On the contrary, this sudden opening of the mouth gave him a little warning.
Outside the barrier, Xiao Hou was talking to Lan Pi.
"Do you feel that your coach has one more card and there is hope again?"
"Humph, isn't it? Now both sides have revealed the same number of cards, and he still has a trump card to reveal."
"That's because you don't know the true horror of Master's tactics, that's why you say that, hehe..."
"Oh? You mean... I see! I understand!"
After being reminded by Xiao Hou, Lan Pi immediately came to his senses.
This made him a little anxious. He wondered if the coach had noticed it, but he must be aware of it.
Inside the barrier, in the action confirmation phase.
Shi Li was thinking.
In this round, the situation on his side is very ambiguous.
In other words, he has discovered that Wang Defa has a more hidden disadvantage.
To put it more bluntly , Wang Defa's deck actually has an obvious flaw, which is that it actually has shortcomings in output.
The shortcoming here is not that the overall output is low, after all, [Golden Demon City] itself increases attack power.
But take a look at his cards, [Golden Demon Mother] and [Red Fire Jump], both of which come with sub-attributes that reduce attack power.
And the reduction is quite a lot, a total of 30 points.
It is equivalent to the attack power of an average card.
Under normal circumstances, the score in a 6+1 game is only 210 points, and you only have 180. How can you not lose money?
Of course, he also knew that these attack reduction cards were mainly to provide functionality that was compatible with the deck.
But it just so happened that I had several cards with strong damage reduction in this round.
[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]'s [Body Movements]: -5 when attacked.
[Fighting Monkey]'s [Expert in Receive] has a hit rate of -10.
The [Left and Right Guardians] of [Exorcist] take -10 damage to the group of monster cards they attack.
The [Break the Balance Spirit] of the [Break the Balance Sword] and the Balance Card receive -10 hits.
It can be said that one gains while the other loses.
Therefore, the actual problem with Wang Defa's deck at present is the card output distribution.
For the only four cards he has left, their attack powers are 10, 55, 15, and 30 respectively.
Ignoring other aspects and only comparing the attack power, it is still slightly worse than the four cards unveiled by Shi Li.
The output is basically concentrated on the [Golden Demon Mother] and the [Golden Behemoth Statue].
When there are many enemy targets, this centralized output distribution is at a disadvantage.
Excessive concentration of attack power will amplify problems such as damage overflow and damage distribution in each round.
Analyzing the cards again in detail, Shi Li's focus is first on [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit].
If all opponents focus their fire on her, she will take 25+50+5+10=90 points of damage due to [Agility], and will still have 5 points of health left to survive.
If she [Defends], the damage she receives is 45 points.
That is to say, no matter what, Wang Defa will need at least two rounds to kill the sheep rabbit.
Therefore, Shi Li understood that it would be impossible for the opponent to attack the sheep and rabbit with all his strength.
On the contrary, [Breaking Sword] and [Demon Killer] can be killed instantly.
If I were Wang Defa, then in this round I would...
At this time, Shi Li looked at Wang Defa. This cunning old Taoist had a calm expression and did not reveal any flaws.
Then the action phase begins, and both cards start to act.
[Sword, come]
The first to act was the [Nameless Sword Spirit]. He waved his hand and the sword energy attacked the [Golden Behemoth Statue].
whoosh!
-20, (No healing)
As soon as this damage happened, the Void Commentator outside the barrier went back to work.
"It seems that Coach Shi is determined to get rid of the [Golden Behemoth Statue]."
“This idea is actually correct.”
"Because it is the enemy's middle row of meat shields, its presence can well cover the movement of the [Golden Demon Mother]."
"This guy has the most HP, the highest attack power, and the greatest threat. He is the opponent's core card at the moment."
"Coach Shi Li's only hope of winning is to kill the [Golden Behemoth Statue] first."
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
And I admire this person's lightning-fast talk, he can say so many words with just one attacking move at the poker table.
But Wang Defa inside the barrier seemed to have anticipated Shi Li's determination.
His expression was still calm, with a smile on his face.
It's like I'm not saying anything and just watching you perform.
Then, what happened next was a slightly unexpected scene outside the barrier.
【Hoohoohoohoohoo～～！ ！ ！】
The shadow of the golden city suddenly solidified , and a strong wind blew across the card table.
This time, the center of the suction was aimed at the [Golden Behemoth Statue].
In the blink of an eye, the [Golden Behemoth Statue] was sucked off the ground and flew towards the Golden City.
Wang Defa actually [exiled] the [Golden Behemoth Statue! ]
And it’s not over yet.
【Bobobobo～】
I saw the [Golden Demon Mother] moving its tentacles in the air and [moving] to the right.
Moved behind [Golden Knight].
In this way...the entire middle column is empty!
"I see! What a good plan!"
Outside the barrier, the Void Commentator continued to work.
"This move by the curator is really brilliant!"
"As I said earlier, if Coach Shi wants to win, he must first kill the [Golden Behemoth Statue]."
"Then in the next round, he will definitely do his best to output."
"For example, in this round, the [Breaking Balance Sword] must release the energy that has finally been accumulated."
"There are three Balance cards on the field, which means that [Break the Balance Sword] can increase its damage by 15 points, or a total of 45 points."
"You have to know that if this damage hits the [Golden Behemoth], it will be [Real Damage]!"
"So it's obvious that the curator was unwilling to take this damage, so he chose to evacuate all the people in the middle column."
"And in this way, the attack of [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] will be completely ineffective, and there is no way to recover energy!"
"The director's operation in this round is textbook classic!"
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
But Shi Li inside the barrier seemed to have anticipated Wang Defa's strategy.
His expression was also very calm, with a smile on his face.
It's like I'm not saying anything and just watching you perform.
He won't make the same mistake twice.
At least in the short term, you won't make the same mistake a second time at the same table.
In other words, he successfully predicted the opponent's strategy this time.
So the choice for the remaining cards to recover health is... come out in full force and focus fire!
And the target they were rushing towards was the [Golden Knight].
"What?"
Wang Defa was stunned for a moment, and then his expression took a sharp turn for the worse.
In fact, the analysis of the Void commentator was correct this time, and his strategy was indeed as described above.
Theoretically, [Breaking Sword] is already a dead end. If you don't use the skill in this round, you will never have the chance to use it again.
Therefore, he understood that Shi Li might be in this state of mind, and therefore chose to [exile] the [Golden Behemoth Statue].
【Mee-zha~! 】
【clang clang! 】
【Slay the demon! 】
-45, -15, -25
A total of 85 points of damage hit the [Golden Knight], but 5 points of [Shield] offset it, allowing it to survive.
“…”
However, the survival of [Golden Knight] made Wang Defa's expression even uglier.
Because [Breaking Balance Sword]...did not release any skills.
