Walk to the third card and stare at it for a moment, and its projection will immediately appear.
[Like there is no wife in wife cake]
[There is no cake in the cow dung cake]
A projection of a zombie beast pushing a tattered cart slowly moved forward.
The cart was loaded with a steaming pot, in which a pile of palm-sized mud-colored cakes were steaming.
The wooden wheels are already uneven, and rolling on the uneven ground makes it difficult for them to move.
This card is the NPC of one of the quests.
Its task is also quite funny, which is to eat 100 biscuits it sells within 5 minutes.
To be honest, this task is still difficult to complete even if the contestants obtain the Zombie template.
Fortunately, Shi Li has a group of emotionless younger brothers.
They do whatever you tell them to do, and they eat whatever you tell them to eat.
Therefore, this task of eating the cake was the easiest one for him to complete.
Of course, since the mission was rather unreliable, he didn't have any expectations for this card.
【Selling Cakes】
Chasing the Wind, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Carrying the Burden - Passive]: Energy recovery of the pancake seller - 0.5
[Good Cakes for You - 3 Energy]: The cake seller forcefully sells his own products, causing up to 3 targets in a row to become [Poisoned] for 1 turn
([Poisoned]: Starting from the next round, you will receive 15 points of damage, which cannot be reduced)
"Wow, this poison is pretty strong."
"A normal card is only 5 points, 10 points is considered excellent."
"This guy actually has 15 points."
"But it takes 6 rounds to fully charge the energy, and it can only be used in the 7th round."
“This cycle is just too long and doesn’t make sense.”
"PASS."
He has so many cards to choose from, there is no need for him to linger on this low-strength card.
"But from another perspective, it's a good thing that this kind of card appears."
"Completed the mission, gave me a chance to draw a card."
"And the cards were so bad that they were totally unworthy of selection."
"This way I can give the chance to draw cards to those free NPCs without hesitation."
Looking further down, the card projection is an exceptionally strong zombie beast.
[The toll is your life! Roar!]
With bloodshot eyes, it stood on the card and roared.
Its size is much larger than the violent zombie template, like a small house.
This card comes from one of the free NPCs he killed.
They spent a little extra effort to find this NPC.
Because the first time I discovered this guy was near dawn on the second night.
Shi Li and his brothers besieged it for a long time. Just when they were about to kill it, daybreak arrived.
Then this guy disappeared like a phantom on the spot.
It was not until the next night that I arrived at the same place and encountered it again and killed it.
This also made him better understand some of the NPC mechanisms of this copy.
As for the free NPCs that are not related to the quest, it seems that the zombie-like ones only come out at night, while the non-zombie-like ones only come out during the day.
"Yo, the giant brand."
When he took the first look at this time, Shi Li raised his eyebrows.
【Robbery】
Break, 60 points, C
Attack 60, 100/100, 0/4
[Large Size - Passive]: The robber takes up 2 slots in 1 row
[No Way - Passive]: The robber is immune to all displacement effects
Shi Li had seen quite a few giant brands.
He had seen it in the card pool of many copies, but did not choose it.
Because the advantage of giant cards is obvious, that is, they often score much higher than the average score of 30 points.
From the most intuitive numerical panel, revealing a 2-grid 60-point card is equivalent to revealing 2 1-grid 30-point cards, at least in terms of attack power.
So you can think of them as a disguised form of linked cards.
If you look at it this way, revealing a giant card is equivalent to revealing 1 to 2 cards before others, or even more.
Then the giant card must be very strong.
However, the reality is not so.
The Cube card has an inherent balance.
The Giant brand looks cool and has obvious advantages, but in fact, it has two shortcomings.
The first shortcoming is that it assumes that all cards are B-level cards.
You reveal a 2-grid B-level giant card, which has 3 entries.
The opponent reveals 2 1-grid B-level common cards, which means they have 6 entries.
The more slots giant cards occupy, the greater the actual loss in terms of number of entries and the less tactical diversity.
In addition, at the beginning of the game, only the first row of cards can be revealed. Cards in more than one row cannot be revealed. Therefore, cards like [Lying Ginseng] and [Tree Giant] that occupy more than one row of grids cannot serve as the first row of cards.
The second shortcoming is the natural disadvantage of the giant brand.
Since the giant brand enjoys the natural advantages brought by the unveiling, it must inevitably bear the natural disadvantages.
This natural disadvantage is somewhat similar to the situation of [Wu Monkey].
Shi Li once tried to eliminate the entry "Unable to [attack] and [defend]" of [Wu Hou] by shuffling the cards.
But I found that this entry is completely deeply rooted. In other words, it is completely tied to the card "Wu Monkey".
He has encountered many similar situations.
Some cards may be bound to fixed negative terms.
For a good card, negative attributes will bring excellent mechanisms or attributes.
Trash cards are purely negative.
The Giant Card also has such a negative effect, and it is even hidden to a certain extent and not directly reflected on the card.
The most typical representatives of hidden negatives are [Lying Ginseng] and the [Robbery Sang] in front of you.
They are all giant cards, taking up 2 spaces, but have no health bonus at all.
This is equivalent to revealing them, and the deck will lose 100 health points.
The same is true for [Giant Zombie], which occupies 3 grids and has only 200 health points, a pure loss of 100.
Among all the giant cards that Shi Li had seen, the best one was the [Giant Ice Worm]. It took up 2 grids and only lost 50 health points, and its score was high, reaching 90 points.
However, the compatibility of this card is also very low. So far, I have not seen a card that can be fused, and all of them are explosive cards.
Moreover, if you concentrate too much points on a certain card, it will cause the scores of other cards to be too low. Once the high-scoring card is knocked over by others, there will be no fun.
As for the typical dominant negative representative, it is the [Tree Giant].
[Huge Size - Passive]: The Tree Giant occupies 2x2 slots, HP +320, and remains stationary for 2 turns after revealing the card.
Stay still for 2 rounds. He had used it to deal with the catfish-head coach in a challenge match before.
It can be said that I was a pure target. Looking back now, it’s a good thing that the opponent’s deck was not very strong, otherwise I would have been doomed.
Return Boss N’s [Unit N].
[Unmanned - Passive]: Unit N cannot [Defend] or [Attack]
These entries are undoubtedly bound to the giant cards and cannot be removed.
According to the giant cards that Shi Li had seen so far, the more grids it occupied and the higher the score, the greater the negative effects it would suffer.
If a 3x3 giant card came, he couldn't imagine how strong the negative effect would be.
I'm afraid it's normal to lose 300 to 500 health points or 50 attack points.
Of course, 3x3 cannot be revealed on a 9+1 table, after all, it exceeds one row and cannot be placed in the first row of cards.
He had never seen such a card, so he was not very clear about it.
However, even if it can be released, it is estimated that it will not be revealed in the first round and can only be revealed in the second round.
This is equivalent to being focused on by the opponent's first row of cards for a whole round in vain while the cards are covered.
"This card really doesn't work."
"And its location overlaps with that of the Giant Deathly Haunted Monster."
"But perhaps it is compatible with the [Giant Death Monster]."
"Let's just list it as a less important alternative."
Shi Li shook his head and continued reading.
7 or 8 cards in a row are all cards that I don’t like.
In a blink of an eye, only 3 of the alternatives have been selected, and more than 10 of the 29 question mark cards in front of me have been previewed.
Finally, the next one cheered him up.
【Hide, I want to hide! 】
In the card projection, a zombie beast with three eyes walked out from the light column cautiously and looked around.
"Interesting, it's finally my turn to encounter this kind of card."
Although this was just a D-level card, Shi Li fell in love with it at first sight.
【Three-eyed mourning】
Balanced, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100
[Hidden Skin - Passive]: The three-eyed zombie blocks some of its own information
This card is very similar to Boss N’s [Interstellar Sentinel].
But it’s even more amazing than [Star Sentinel].
[Interstellar Sentinel] only blocks the information of [Unit 00] before [Unit 00] is summoned.
This [Three-Eyed Sadness] directly blocks its own information.
In other words, in the opponent's eyes, at least the skills of this card are all question marks.
We won’t know the exact details until we actually get to the poker table.
“This mechanism is pretty cool.”
"But if you don't shuffle the cards, it won't work."
"Because there is only one [???] entry, the other party can tell at a glance that this entry is definitely an entry that blocks information, and they won't be afraid of it."
"Only when you have multiple entries can you arouse the other party's vigilance."
"List it as an alternative first."
Shi Li had already imagined several possible development paths for this card.
For example, give it two more survival-oriented entries to attract the opponent's firepower.
When seeing a card with a bunch of question marks, the opponent will definitely want to prioritize solving it to avoid any further complications.
Or you could come up with some attributes that are easier to hedge or purify, and change one skill after each game, leaving the opponent completely confused.
The main feature is the mysterious one.
Continuing to look down, another new card caught his attention.
[Devil, die! ]
In the card projection, a sword-shaped golden light flashed and fell down.
Just by listening to the sound, Shi Li knew which card it was.
Sure enough, a heroic woman wearing light armor made of bamboo boards jumped out of the card.
He was quite looking forward to this card.
After all, among all the free NPCs he met in this copy, the combat power of this demon-slayer woman was definitely among the top three.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this card..."
When the final cards appeared, Shi Li shook his head slightly and sighed.
【Scavenger】
Break, 20 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/4
[Demon Slayer - Passive]: When the Scavenger launches an attack, he can attack an additional monster card target.
[Demon Exorcist - Passive]: When the Scavenger launches an attack, he can attack an additional Demon Card target
[Severance Style - Passive]: When the Scavenger launches an attack, he can attack an additional target with a Death Beast card.
[Destroying Ghost Style - Passive]: When the Scavenger launches an attack, he can attack an additional Ghost card target
"Good guy, you really are worthy of being a scavenger."
"So it's not just about the death?"
"It controls all these dirty things."
"It's a pity that this A-level card has 4 entries."
"Basically, there is no room for me to shuffle the cards, so it's probably difficult to improve my score."
"But it can't hide the fact that it's a good card."
"The alternatives are alternatives, and the alternatives are the must-choose."
Of course Shi Li likes this card.
Holding one card is equivalent to having four targeted cards. Isn’t that great?
And they are not targeting unpopular cards, all four are relatively common types.
Even though it's only 20 points, it's no worse than those special restraining cards.
For example, the opponent has a monster card.
A 30-point [Demon-killing Puppet] can deal 40 points of damage to it.
The [Scavenger] can directly attack this monster card twice, or attack another target, and then choose to attack that monster card again.
So just looking at the white value, the output is also 40 points.
And theoretically, its full output in one round is 80 points.
Why is it 80 points? First of all, you need to understand that no matter what, its passive skill is ultimately just [Attack], and it can only attack foreign cards.
In a regular poker game, there are at most 3 wild cards.
But when the opponent's three foreign cards are selected 3 out of 4, namely Monster Card, Devil Card, Zombie Card and Ghost Card, [Scavenger] can trigger 3 passives and launch 4 attacks.
Of course, this is just a theoretical state.
Shi Li felt that under normal circumstances, the probability of this situation occurring was extremely small.
It's good enough to encounter a card that can be targeted.
There is also an even more extreme situation, that is, the opponent's foreign cards have multiple labels, namely, the four labels of monster card, funeral beast card, devil card, and ghost card.
Then including the initial attack, [Scavenger] can attack a total of 5 times, which is 100 points.
But this probability seems to be even smaller than the probability of 80 points of output, much smaller.
In fact, 20 points can deal 40 points of damage, which is comparable to the [Iron Stick] which is also A-level.
However, [Iron Rod] is more versatile, and [Scavenger] has a higher output limit.
“I believe that after this dungeon, many players will get the Zombie Cards.”
"First of all, the five players who advance to the next level in each instance will most likely have their own A-level zombie template."
"And if they also kill powerful NPCs, they might be able to get other A-rank Zombie Cards."
"Then the chances of this Scavenger card being able to play are very high."
"Fortunately, Qingyu and the others consulted the staff before coming in. Although the dungeons of other groups are also [Mortal Beast Dilemma] and have the same environment and terrain, the tasks and monsters in each dungeon are different."
"That means I'm the only one who can get this [Scavenger] card."
"Plus, it's a sword card, so it can be put into my sword deck and form a linkage with other sword cards."
I have to say it again, the organizers are really generous.
Although there are only a few cards in the card pool right now, two A-level cards have appeared in the preview so far.
This was the first time Shi Li encountered such a situation.
Looking further down, there are a few more unattractive useless cards.
But soon, a card appeared that attracted him.
[You guys, don't bully children! ]
In the card projection, a person appears to be about four or five years old.
A little boy with a pair of buns on his head, wearing a red bellyband and carrying a gourd as big as his body, walked out from the card.
Shi Li had seen this free NPC twice in the dungeon.
The first time, it was encountered in a PK with a violent and sad player code-named Teacher Dahuang.
Then not long after, Teacher Dahuang was eliminated.
The second time was when he encountered it with a group of zombies.
I thought this guy was very strong, but surprisingly he couldn't hold on for long when facing the sea of ​​zombie beasts.
"No wonder it performed so weakly the second time. It seems the cards have explained it all."
It was not until he saw the face of the card that Shi Li understood.
【Huluzi】
Balanced, 20 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100
[Spell Protection - Passive]: When Huluzi is attacked by a target with higher attack power than himself, damage -10
"Teacher Da Huang's attack power is higher than Hu Lu Zi's, so it's hard for him to be defeated."
"But the attack power of the Ginseng Zombie is obviously lower than that of the Calabash Boy, so it can't enjoy the damage reduction, which is why it was overwhelmed by the Zombie Beast so quickly."
Shi Li's evaluation of this card is that it is a good card.
A good, material card.
If you want to make full use of its attributes, the best fusion target is a low-scoring card with 20 or 25 attack.
If such a card has [Spell Protection], it is still easy to trigger when facing a 30-point equal-split card.
It should also be noted that it targets targets with "higher attack power than itself" and has nothing to do with the amount of damage caused by the opponent.
If the target card has 30 attack points on its face, but the attack is divided into two stages of 15+15 or even three stages of 10+10+10 damage.
Then it will also be affected by the [Protection Power of the Talisman].
On the contrary, if the card has 20 attack points, but one punch can cause 30 points of damage, it cannot be reduced.
"I have quite a few cards in my Kung Fu deck that are suitable for fusion with it."
"For example, the [Double-Stick Goblin], the [Snake with Trickster Hands], and the [Heavy Punch Bodyguard] with 30 points and 20 attacks."
"These cards all have enough space for entries."
"If [Gourd Boy] can integrate with them 100% perfectly, it can improve their survivability."
"List it as an alternative as well."
After this card was released, Shi Li currently only has 6 alternative cards.
They are [Ancient City Mourning King], [Mourning Beast Thief], [Three-eyed Mourning], [Scavenger], [Gourd Boy], and [Robber Mourning].
“So I can say that there are still three rounds of free time, but I feel like I won’t be able to get three cards that satisfy me.”
"I can only pick the tallest one among the short ones, and choose the one that looks more compatible."
"But why haven't the two cards I'm waiting to see appeared yet?"
What Shi Li wanted to preview were the cards of [Sword Mourning] and [Sword Old Man].
If the quality of these two cards is high enough, then you can add two more powerful members to your sword deck.
Especially [Swordslayer], which is also among the top three free NPCs.
The other two cards that were in the top three have already been revealed, one is the [Scavenger], and the other is the Treasure Hunter card that has been revised to the point where it is not worth mentioning.
So he continued to preview it, and until the fifth to last picture, he finally saw what he wanted to see.
"Here it comes, it's the Sword Sang."
Shi Li's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The kind that stays on for 24 hours.
