But obviously, it would be great if such a good thing could happen once.
After casually strengthening a wave of inscriptions, Shi Li closed the strengthening page, and then a voice rang in his ears.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Please select the following rewards after passing level 9]
[You can select 1 card from the unknown card, strength E~C]
Since there are no monsters or other targets in level 9, the reward this time is not a choice between two options.
Whoosh! x20
20 cards appeared out of thin air and hovered in front of him.
“It’s a little less this time.”
Shi Li frowned and started previewing.
There were only 20 cards, and I finished browsing them in no time.
"Huh?"
But when he saw the last one, his expression brightened.
The card pool of [Way of Chasing the Wind] naturally has more wind-chasing cards.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other cards.
Just like the last one in front of you.
"Awesome! I've finally gotten what I've been waiting for!"
Shi Li, looking slightly excited, snatched the card directly down.
The projection of the card is a nun with a ghostly physique.
The translucent body exudes a holy glow, and he kneels on the ground with his hands clasped together, with a pious expression.
[Phantom Wind Priest]
Listen to the Wind, 30 points, C
Attack 10, 100/100, 0/5
[Listen to the Phantom Wind - Passive]: Phantom Wind Priest's attack power -20, can restore energy when covering cards
[Phantom Wind Call - 5 Energy]: Phantom Wind Priest [Resurrect] 1 of his own cards
(【Resurrection】: The card reappears with 50% health and 0% energy)
"Finally, I got a resurrection card."
He even felt a little touched.
[Resurrection] is a very rare mechanism, and most of them come from Wind-Listening cards.
Its priority is the same as [Treatment] and is at the end of the action.
The priority of taking effect can be said to be quite high, which is during the unveiling phase of the next round, but it is not counted as the unveiling.
He had seen some of these cards in the second-level authority of the card hall, and he had also seen some card players take them out in real life.
It’s just that this is the first time that Shi Li himself has encountered this person in the card pool.
So he took it without hesitation.
You should know that the energy recovery conditions of the Listening to the Wind card are very strict, so generally speaking, even if the resurrection ability card is taken out, there may not be a chance to resurrect.
The opponent can often prevent resurrection by quickly killing the resurrection ability card, or occupying the card space of the resurrected card.
But once the resurrection is successful, it can often reverse the direction of the game.
What's more, in PVE, this kind of card is simply a magical card.
"And she has a built-in ability to recover energy by covering cards. This passive skill is really perfect for the Wind Listening deck."
"If it's a 6+1 game, if she is revealed as the 6th or 7th trump card, the success rate of [Resurrection] will be greatly increased."
"Just think about it. If I use her as my trump card and revive my guard card [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], wouldn't that be awesome?"
Shi Li knew some tactics of listening to the wind.
It’s just that the Tingfeng card tactics have very high requirements for cards, and the depth of my own deck is too shallow.
If you want to make the Wind-Listening Cards unleash their true power, first of all you need some Wind-Listening Cards that are strong enough, and then some series of cards to match them.
The Listening to the Wind Tactics are difficult to form, but once they are formed, their power will be enormous.
"I feel that [The Way of Chasing the Wind] is more exciting than [The Way of Balance], and I gained a lot."
"It seems that I should prioritize the [Wind Chasing Way] next time."
Putting away the cards, Shi Li muttered to himself.
"Of course~Of course~"
Unexpectedly, these words were also caught by the Wind Chaser, and his tone was extremely joyful.
After bidding farewell to the Wind Chaser, Shi Li stepped into the portal of the BOSS level.
As soon as I walked in, I felt a different atmosphere.
It’s the same bare mountain top, but the wind here is even colder.
It's like a knife, scratching your face and causing pain.
The sky was not as sunny as in level 9. On the contrary, it was very gloomy.
The whole level is made gloomy and makes people feel unhappy.
And the BOSS was standing openly in the center of the mountain top.
This guy is also a birdman, and his body is quite large, two or three times the size of the previous birdmen.
But I can't tell whether it is concave or convex.
Because no one knew whether it was wearing armor or had a natural shell, it was covered in a full-body streamlined hard shell that looked like metal and bone.
Only a pair of wings were exposed, and the two wings were different colors, one black and one white.
"This time, there shouldn't be any trouble."
Shi Li looked around the surroundings and felt that it shouldn't be like the last time in the cave, where some weird little brothers would come out again.
But even if there is, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, I'm here just to find out the situation.
Adjust your mood, then walk forward and touch the BOSS.
[Anyone who sets foot on the holy land will be punished! ]
Following a sharp scream from the BOSS, a blue beam of light fell.
Buzz...
The card table was then set up.
“This is not right.”
When Shi Li saw the distribution of the opponent's cards, he immediately felt something was wrong.
There are 8 tablets in the first row.
The second row has 2 plaques, located in the middle.
He couldn't imagine what kind of strange posture it would take to appear reasonable if these card slots were occupied by the BOSS alone.
"Never mind, let's see if we can get to the next stage."
Now he knows that all BOSSes in this kind of copy have at least 3 stages.
His goal was to at least see what Phase 2 looked like.
After a brief arrangement, Shi Li laid out the following deck:
【Ugly Man】【Wu Monkey】【Dancing Girl】
【Jade Deer】【Sheep Rabbit】【Crow Man】
【Fox Head】【Ghost Wind】【Mantis】
【No position】【Iron stick】【No position】
The newly acquired [Phantom Wind Priest] and [Raven Man] have both made their debut.
Especially [Crow Man], this time I have 3A gathered together, I believe even if the situation is bad, I can still make it to the 2nd stage.
call out!
Then, a ray of light fell to the ground.
BOSS appears.
However, it only occupies a 2x2 grid, with 3 spaces on the left and right still empty.
【Come out, my servant! 】
Just when I was wondering, I saw the BOSS flapping its wings.
【quack!】
【Coo! 】
Two phantoms appeared out of thin air on both sides of it, occupying the three empty slots respectively.
They are a big crow and a big pigeon.
They spread their wings and flapped them, suspended slightly off the ground, with their spread length just filling up three horizontal grids.
"I knew it."
Shi Li looked at the scene and was not surprised.
Let’s look at their cards one by one.
First, the BOSS.
【Crow Pigeon King】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 50, 5000/5000, 0/1
[Storm Feather Blade - 1 Energy]: Crow Pigeon King deals 50 damage to a row of targets
"This is just a rogue, it's equivalent to infinite AOE."
Shi Li curled his lips.
However, the BOSS's data is still normal, not too exaggerated.
So it feels acceptable.
Now let’s look at the picture of the big crow.
"?"
However, after just the first glance, Shi Li was stunned.
【Phantom Crow King】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 10, ∞/∞, 0/2
[Sharp Wind Field - 2 Energy]: Phantom Raven King releases a powerful aura, causing the enemy to gain the effect of [Sharp Wind Curse] for 1 round
([Sharp Wind Curse]: The card is cursed by the Phantom Crow King)
"10 attack points is quite low indeed."
"But what does unlimited health mean?"
"Does this mean that this card is indestructible?"
Shi Li asked three questions in a row.
Moreover, I don’t understand the effect of [Sharp Wind], but judging from the name of Phantom Crow King appearing in the annotation, it should be its exclusive effect.
It requires 2 points of energy, so this skill can be released once every round.
Look at the other one, the big pigeon.
【Phantom Pigeon King】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 10, ∞/∞, 0/2
[Wind Tear - Passive]: When Phantom Pigeon King makes his own Wind Chaser attack the target with [Sharp Wind Curse], it will deal an additional 30 points of [True Damage]
(【True Damage】: cannot be offset or reduced by any defensive means)
"So he was waiting here."
After reading this card, Shi Li understood.
In other words, [Phantom Pigeon King] and [Phantom Crow King] form a linkage cooperation.
The strategy for the first stage also began to gradually emerge in his mind.
First of all, the health of the two phantom cards is infinite, so attacking them is completely meaningless.
So just focus your fire on the BOSS and kill it.
The synergy between the other two Phantom Bird cards is very powerful. As long as the [Sharp Wind Field] of the [Phantom Raven King] is activated, the AOE of the opponent's [Crow Pigeon King] can cause an additional 30+30+30 [real damage] in the current round.
Add to that the attack from [Phantom Pigeon King], and there are 30 points of [True Damage].
120 points of [True Damage] per round is a pretty terrifying output for a player's deck.
But there is a way to solve it, just control it.
[Phantom Crow King] can release [Sharp Wind Field] once every 2 rounds, and [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] can release [Two-Combo] once every 2 rounds.
Although both skills have negative effect priority, they cannot restrain each other.
But he can control the [Crow Pigeon King]. As long as he knocks it out, at least 90 points of [True Damage] will be gone.
As for the 30 points of [True Damage] from [Phantom Pigeon King], there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, this is a BOSS battle, we have to give others some face.
He has used all his skills, how can he get nothing?
After roughly calculating the strength of both sides, Shi Li quickly felt relieved.
Although the effects of 6th and 10th inscriptions were not triggered, I still have a bunch of inscriptions on my body, which can increase my combat power a lot.
There is absolutely no problem in beating stage 1 without aiming to win.
Sure enough, the progress was just as he had imagined. After losing 4 cards, Shi Li finally reduced the BOSS's health to zero.
“It’s not easy.”
He wiped his forehead, where some sweat had already seeped out.
If it weren't for the [Phantom Wind Priest] who helped to resurrect, he would have lost two more cards.
Next, it’s time to look at the second phase of the BOSS.
[You daring fellows, let me show you the wrath of the wind! ]
Amid the roar, the BOSS's black and white wings spread to the fullest extent.
The streamlined shell began to show cracks.
In some areas small patches have fallen off, revealing the feathers underneath.
Then, Shi Li saw its health bar begin to fill up again.
Then, a powerful tornado visible to the naked eye appeared out of nowhere behind the BOSS.
The tornado grew bigger and bigger, and soon covered the entire card table.
The card table, which was in the eye of the storm, became quiet instead.
The surrounding air walls turned into tornadoes, which looked scary.
call out!
A beam of light hit the card table, forming a scene card for the BOSS side.
"?"
Shi Li didn't expect that this BOSS could actually take out a scene card.
When he took a closer look at the cards, his face turned dark.
Eye of the Storm
Scenario
[Center of Tranquility]: Causes enemy cards to continue to [Silence]
"How can we play this game if we are not allowed to use skills?"
This is a real headache.
One move of [Silence] for the entire screen destroyed his deck.
"Luckily, the recovery of [Crow Man] and [Flower Jade Deer] are both passive, otherwise I would have trouble flying continuously."
"But without the skills, I can't do any burst damage or control at all."
"How can we deal with BOS in this way?"
Just when Shi Li felt very embarrassed, the BOSS took action again.
[Grant you the holy power of the crow clan! ]
It just pointed at the big crow, and a green wind-powered light shot out.
【Ga ga ga! 】
The raven's feathers suddenly changed.
From the previous distinct solid feathers, it turned into a burning shape, like black fire.
Looking at the card again, it has also changed.
【Phantom Crow King】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 50, ∞/∞, 0/2
[Death Wind Field - 2 Energy]: Phantom Raven King releases a powerful aura, causing the enemy to gain the [Death Wind Curse] effect for 1 round
([Death Wind Curse]: Non-static cards receive [True Damage] equal to 150% of their maximum health)
"???"
This made Shi Li dumbfounded.
What does that mean, 150% max health?
Let alone 150%, normal cards can't even withstand 100%.
Does this mean that we won't be given any face at all and will be killed even if we don't put on shields?
"According to the observation rules of the first stage, the intelligence of this Phantom Crow King is average, and it will release energy if it has it."
"That is to say, if I let it release its skills, I will have to stand still for one round every two rounds, otherwise whoever moves will die."
"You can't even [Defend]. This way, the boss can output as much as he wants in this round."
"If it can't use skills, then my [Sword Mantis Girl] can't even use [Silence] on it."
"The coverage rate of this [Stillness] is really too high. It seems that the only option for the next trip is [Power of Listening to the Wind]."
After reading this card, Shi Li had already determined the strategy for the next trip.
If you don't use the [Power of Hearing the Wind] to increase the benefits of [Standstill], this thing may have no solution at all.
[Grant you the holy power of the pigeon clan! ]
At this time, the BOSS pointed at the big white dove again.
【Cuckoo! Cuckoo!】
The big white dove's feathers also turned into flame shapes, like white fire.
From the previous distinct solid feathers, it turned into a burning shape, like black fire.
Looking at the card again, it has also changed.
First of all, like [Phantom Crow King], the attack power is increased to 50 points.
【Phantom Pigeon King】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 50, ∞/∞, 0/ 2
[Peaceful Realm - Passive]: Phantom Pigeon King makes allied Wind Chaser cards immune to negative effects and gains 150 points of [Healing] each round.
"You also have a domain, and what's even more exaggerated is that it's a passive domain that lasts forever."
After two waves of shock, Shi Li gained some immunity.
Immune to negative effects, which means that your [Nameless Sword Spirit] cannot cast [Healing Ban] on the BOSS.
And because he has to stay still for one turn out of two turns, that means the total output of his deck must be greater than 300 every two turns.
Otherwise, the output speed cannot keep up with the recovery speed, and the boss’s health cannot be reduced at all.
"300 points of damage isn't that difficult..."
Shi Li calculated his deck and felt it was OK.
First of all, in order to save your life, you must carry these two endurance cards: [Crow Man] + [Flower Jade Deer].
[Hua Yulu] can complete the warm-up and enter [Petrification] in the first stage. [Petrification] means stillness, so it is not afraid of being punished by [Death Wind Curse].
If you can't use skills, then you don't need to bring [Wind Fox], and replace it with [Three Flag Bearers of Martial Arts Hall].
Then the three cards [Crow Man] + [Three Flag Bearers of the Martial Arts School] + [Flower Jade Deer] add up to 75 points, with 55 points of output.
[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], 40 points, 45 points of output.
[Manta Girl] triggers passive, 30 points, 45 output.
【Iron Stick】, 20 points, 40 points of output.
This alone has an output of 165 points + 185 points.
Of the remaining 135 points, can’t we even get at least 115 points of output?
That's impossible.
"I feel like this second stage isn't that difficult. The opponent's output is actually less than before."
"This will greatly reduce the threat to me."
"So as long as I can survive the first stage, I can completely rely on endurance to slowly grind through the second stage... huh?"
But before he could finish his words, Shi Li saw the changes in the BOSS.
【Give me the holy power of wind! 】
It roared loudly again.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning came down directly from the eye of the tornado and struck it.
The slightly damaged shell was now surrounded by lightning like a swimming snake.
【Crow Pigeon King】
Chasing the Wind, Attack 50, 5000/5000, 0/1
[Wind and Thunder Armor - Passive]: Crow Pigeon King is immune to single damage less than 40 points each time
"Playing with yarn?!"
When he realized what was happening, Shi Li wanted to overturn the table.
Unfortunately, the table is the ground and I can’t flip it over at all.
Now this means that when your cards attack, they must deal at least 40 points of damage per click.
Any damage below 40 points will be blocked by the BOSS!
This alone wiped out a bunch of cards.
First, assume that the attack power is 40 points. That means you need at least 8 cards with 40 attack points to be able to defeat the BOSS.
If all cards are 40 points, that's 4x8=320 points.
It has directly exceeded the upper limit of the deck score. How can I match it?
Moreover, 320 points of damage, minus the healing effect of the BOSS, is equivalent to only being able to deal 20 points of damage in two rounds.
It has 5000 HP, can it really just fight for 500 rounds?
"I can't use skills..."
"At least 300 points of damage must be dealt in a single round..."
"And the single target damage must not be less than 40 points..."
"We also need to ensure the card's endurance..."
Shi Li counted all these conditions one by one and added them together, feeling simply despairing.
Of course, he wasn't really desperate.
The experience of [Way of Balance] told him that the monsters in this dungeon could not be defeated by a normal deck.
We must rely on the power of the inscription.
So the next thing I have to do is to collect the inscriptions.
Find the strategy that suits you best.
