Chapter 293 Sword vs. Magic
[Boom…]
I saw the shadow of a tall tower rising from the ground on Gan Daofu's half of the card table.
The tower is built of solid black stone, giving it an ancient and solemn feeling.
Atop the spire stands a huge crystal ball, flickering with a faint magical light.
Various patterns and symbols are carefully carved on the entire tower wall, giving people a sense of miracle and power.
[Mage Tower]
Scenario B
[Meditation Sanctuary]: When your Wisdom Card is stationary, it can restore 1 energy point
[Mana Amplification]: When your card energy is full, attack +10
[Magic Barrier]: If your card's energy is 0, the damage taken by the attack is -10.
(The above do not include balanced cards and violent cards)
(Note: Thanks to the designer [Yan Tian] for providing this series of decks. This deck has balance corrections)
Hunchback Sister: [Wow, according to the data, Gan Daofu did not use this scene card in the group stage]
[It looks very strong! ]
Director Feng: [Indeed, the second and third terms give the card more options]
[You don't necessarily need to release skills when fully charged, because you have an attack power bonus]
[And in the rounds where they consume energy to release skills, they can still enjoy this bonus]
[Then you don’t have to worry about running out of energy, because even if it runs out, you can still get damage reduction]
[Especially friendly to Wisdom cards, other cards are not so effective]
"This is a good card."
Inside the blue light barrier, Shi Li was also generous in his praise.
"Thank you for the compliment. I haven't finished revealing it yet."
Gan Daofu spoke modestly, but his emotions could not be hidden on his face.
On the small ball of light, a nose turned up.
[Boom…]
As he turned over the card on the left, a huge man resembling a stone man slowly crawled out from the card.
Its surface is smooth and shiny, silver in color.
It's not reflecting light, but it's emitting light faintly.
Gives a precious metal texture.
【Mithril Puppet】
Determined, 20 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/3
[Mithril Shell - Passive]: Mithril Golem gains the [Super Armor] effect, but cannot actively [Attack]
[Guardian Command - Passive]: When the Mithril Golem [Defends], you can select 1 card to take the attack for it.
[Self-Healing Core - Passive]: Mithril Puppet does not accept external treatment, and gains 5 points of [Healing] each time it is attacked.
[Charge Power - 100% Energy]: Mithril Golem attacks 1 target, and for every point of energy consumed, the attack power increases by 10
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
After reading this card, Shi Li couldn't help but shake his head.
It really is a knockout round, and I got such a big surprise right from the start.
【Super Armor】, which means being immune to control.
Then this card can only be used to kill it by force.
Then when [Defending], it is equivalent to a giant card occupying 2 spaces, the damage-bearing area becomes larger, and the energy recovery becomes faster.
5 points of [Healing] each time you are hit, which is not so bad. The entire third item is more like a negative item that exists just for the purpose of "not accepting external treatment".
The key is that as a 20-point Determination card, it has the ability to burst out 50 points of attack power in one turn.
Combined with the [Mage Tower], that’s 60 points.
There are several ways to best attack it, including [Fatigue] and other negative effects that reduce attack power.
Alternatively, you can use high-attack cards to launch an attack, which will reduce its energy recovery efficiency, which will also reduce its burst efficiency.
Then it would be best if you could predict its attack turn and take it down with concentrated fire.
According to his experience, the score of this card has already reached the A-level ceiling of 5 points, and it even has a tendency to exceed 5 points and reach the supermodel level.
The linkage effect between [Guardian Command] and [Charge Power] is simply too strong.
But Gan Daofu obviously had more surprises for him than that.
He then revealed the remaining two cards.
[Boom…]
The card in the middle is a giant creature that is almost identical to the [Mithril Puppet].
But its luster is noble gold.
[Adamantium Puppet]
Break, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100, 0/3
[Adamantine Shell - Passive]: When the Adamantine Golem is attacked by a unit with 0 energy, the damage is -10
[Demon Breaking Command - Passive]: The attack of the adamantium puppet has 1 layer of [Quantum Entanglement] effect
[Clumsy Core - Passive]: The Gold Golem does not accept external recovery effects, and cannot attack again in the next round after attacking.
[Overload Power - 3 Energy]: The Gold Golem can attack twice this round
([Quantum Entanglement]: Lose 1 energy point. If there is no energy, lose 10 health points)
This is another A-grade card, but Shi Li’s score for it is not very high, about 4.2 points.
If the attack is accompanied by 1 layer of [Quantum Entanglement] and combined with [Overload Power], it is indeed very powerful.
The theoretical maximum output value of one skill is 100 points of damage.
But the problem is that the negative impact of not being able to attack continuously is too damaging for the Breaking Force System.
It takes 6 rounds to fully charge the light energy.
【You shall not pass!】
The card on the right was revealed, and a bearded wizard in a white robe, with a staff in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, walked out from the light column on the card.
[Melee Mage]
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100, 4/4
[Reckless - Passive]: When a melee mage is placed in the first row, attack power +10
[Melee Master - Passive]: When a melee mage attacks an adjacent target, the damage caused is +10
[Magic Sealing Wand - 2 Energy Points]: Melee Mage selects 1 target and [Seals] it for 2 turns
[Wave Sword - 3 Energy Points]: Melee Mage launches 1 attack with [Diffusion] effect
When he saw this card, Shi Li frowned.
Combined with the scene card, the theoretical full output of its normal attack is 60 points of attack power, which is outrageous.
Then if the skill [Diffusion] is released, the theoretical output value will reach 120 points.
It is indeed an offensive and smart card.
There is also the [Seal] ability, which is very effective in restraining passive items.
I give this card a score of 4.5.
Sister Hunchback: [Wow, with these 4 cards combined, Gan Daofu's strength is the strongest first unveiling in the past 3 days]
Director Feng: [That’s right. The key is that when Wang Defa is dealing the opponent’s first row of cards, he needs to predict whether the Mithril Puppet will protect the Gold Puppet or the Melee Mage.]
Sister Hunchback: [I wonder what kind of first row of cards Wang Defa will reveal]
The analysis of the two commentators also made the audience focus on Shi Li .
Shi Li was also not vague and played the piano with his fingers.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
3 cards are revealed.
They are:
【Demon Knight】
Firm, 40 points, B
Attack 40, 150/150, 0/4
[Large Size - Passive]: The Death Knight occupies 2 slots in 1 row, HP +50
[Hard Armor - Passive]: When the Demon Knight [Defends], damage -10
[Knight's Blessing - Passive]: When the Death Knight leaves the field, one of your own cards will be revealed and gain the [Encouragement] effect in this round.
([Encouragement]: Target gains 10 attack points)
And [Golden Bell Master] + scene card [Sword Soul Hall].
Hunchback Sister: [Oh oh oh! Player Wang Defa also took out a new card]
[A B-level giant card]
Director Feng: [Well...]
"Haha, since you were confirmed to qualify as the second place, I have repeatedly studied your group stage games."
At this time, Gan Daofu smiled said, "I knew you would reveal this card, [Golden Bell Envoy]."
In fact, he was not sure, but in this situation he could pretend and claim to know.
Why do I say that? Because even though the card [Melee Mage] has high attack power.
In fact, another major function is [Seal].
It can be said that the reason this card is put up is not just for its strength.
His biggest motivation was to prevent the Golden Bell User from revealing his trump card in advance.
The previous sentence was not a lie, he did study Shili's four group matches.
I know this guy will definitely use the [Golden Bell Envoy] tactic of revealing the trump card.
"Humph, so what."
Shi Li snorted coldly, with obvious annoyance at being exposed.
And so, the first phase of action for both sides arrived.
This is the rice farmer's side.
[Mithril Puppet] performs [defense] and protects [Golden Puppet].
After all, with 0 energy, it can't do anything else.
[Golden Puppet] attacks the [Defending] [Golden Bell User], causing 20 points of damage, as well as 10 points of damage from [Quantum Entanglement].
[Melee Mage] attacks the [Defending] [Golden Bell User], causing 25 damage.
He didn't dare to use the skill immediately, firstly for the attack power bonus brought by full energy, and secondly to save energy and use [Seal] when he was sure he could kill the [Golden Bell User].
Shi Li is here.
The [Golden Bell Envoy] performed [Defense].
[Death Knight] attacked [Melee Mage], causing 40 damage.
His prediction was successful and he did not attack the [Golden Puppet] that was protected by the [Mithril Puppet].
At the end of round 1, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Mage Tower]
90 points, 7 cards remaining 210 points
[Mithril] [Gold Essence] 1/3 [Near Law 60] 4/4
VS
【Golden Bell 45】【Death Demon】【Knight】
70 points, 7 cards remaining 230 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (2/15)
Hunchback Sister: [Huh? Contestant Wang Defa, contrary to his usual behavior, actually chose to let Jin Ling play defense]
[If it loses its own health, won't it be able to leave the field starting from this round? ]
[Is this game a trick, not putting the trump card in the left column? ]
Director Feng: [There is such a possibility]
[But in fact, it may also be that he wants to absorb as much damage as possible first]
[After all, it’s a bit too early to reveal the trump card at the end of the first round]
Hunchback Sister: [What you said makes sense]
[If you reveal your trump card so early, others will only need to attack this column.]
[And they might also pull out something that can attack from a distance, targeting the trump card]
Inside the blue light barrier, Gan Daofu was not very satisfied with the result.
The initiative was clearly in their hands, but 3A was still playing against 2B.
The result was that I only exchanged 40 blood for 55 blood.
"Just now you glanced at the [Golden Spirit Puppet] a few times too much. Don't look at it again next time."
Shi Li noticed the other person's emotions.
"Um?"
However, upon hearing this, Gan Daofu immediately fell into self-doubt.
Really?
Did I subconsciously take a few more glances?
To be honest, the card projection just now danced around on the card table, and he really couldn't remember whether he had done this little trick before.
"You want to bluff me?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Then tell me, which card will I protect this turn?"
"It's still the [Golden Spirit Puppet]."
"Hey, I won't~"
The rice farmer was not to be outdone, and the two sides played a game of rock-paper-scissors for a while.
Then he opened his hand.
[Dear Master, wait for me! ]
In the card, a short young man carrying a backpack that was taller than him trotted out from the beam of light.
【Mage Attendant】
Chasing the Wind, 20 points, A
Attack 10, 130/130, 0/3
[Servant - Passive]: Attack -10, HP limit +30
[Life Potion - 1 Energy]: Make an adjacent humanoid magic card gain 30 points of [First Aid]
[Magic Potion - 2 Energy]: Restores 2 energy points to an adjacent humanoid magic card
[Master, be careful - 2 energy points]: Choose 1 adjacent humanoid magic card of your own and [replace] it.
“Hmm…”
As soon as this card came out, Shi Li already had a plan in mind.
He could barely give this Wind Chaser auxiliary card a score of 4, which cannot be considered an A-level card of the "good" level.
Then the humanoid magic card is undoubtedly the [Melee Mage].
The two puppets have magic card tags, but no humanoid card tags.
What does this mean? It means that the opponent should want to use the combination of [Mithril Puppet] + [Mage Servant] to protect the [Melee Mage].
At the same time, Shi Li also revealed his own cards.
[She is yours! He is mine! ]
[He is yours! She is mine! ]
Two masked men holding swords jumped out of the card.
"Huh, I knew it."
This time, the rice farmer is not pretending.
He had expected the other party to reveal this.
Because if it were me, I would definitely reveal this pair of linked cards as soon as possible so that the earlier the cards are revealed, the earlier the advantage will be.
I put up a [Mage Servant] just to guard against this kind of move.
And so, the second phase of action arrived.
This is the rice farmer's side.
[Mithril Golem] performs [defense] and protects [Melee Mage].
[Golden Puppet] cannot attack and can only [defend].
[Melee Mage] uses a skill to [Seal] [Golden Bell User] for 2 turns.
[Mage Servant] attacked [Mithril Golem] but failed to cause damage, but restored 1 energy point.
[Mithril Golem] gained 15 points of [Healing].
Obviously, he didn't want to see the opponent's trump card revealed so early.
I am already at a disadvantage of one card because of the consecutive exposure of [Female Thief] and [Male Thief].
If even the trump card is revealed, the disadvantage will be further expanded.
It is possible that before you can penetrate the opponent's trump card column, all of your main regular cards will be destroyed.
As for whether the opponent's ace is behind the [Golden Bell User]?
To be honest, he didn't dare to gamble.
And judging from the other party's angry look just now, what I said must have come true.
Shi Li is here.
[Golden Bell User] still chose [Defense].
[Demon Knight] chose [Defense].
[Female Bandit] + [Male Bandit] attacked [Melee Mage], but were blocked by [Mithril Puppet], causing 25+25 damage to it.
No matter who the opponent is protecting, his best solution is to only fight against [Melee Mage].
After the second round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Mage Tower]
110 points, 6 cards remaining 190 points
【Cover】【Cover】【Servant】1/3
[Mithril 65] 3/3 [Gold Essence] 1/3 [Near Law 60] 2/4
VS
【Golden Bell 45】【Death Demon】【Knight】
【Cover】【Female Thief】【Male Thief】
130 points, 5 cards remaining 170 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (6/15)
“…”
Seeing this, Gan Daofu fell silent.
Fortunately, in the second round, [Mithril Puppet] can enjoy the damage reduction of the scene card when the energy is 0, otherwise it would only have 30 health left now, how can it play?
"Your trump card...isn't on the left?"
"you guess."
“Hmm!”
The other party's answer made him want to cover his heart.
But now it is in the form of a small ball of light, without a heart.
This guy must be doing this on purpose. Why does he speak so irritatingly?
Director Feng: [Actually, in this round, Gan Daofu is not at a disadvantage]
Hunchback Sister: [Oh? How do you say that?]
Director Feng: [At least he verified that the opponent's trump card is most likely not on the left side]
[Of course, it is also possible that Wang Defa predicted that the other party was going to seal him, so he chose not to take action.]
[The key is that the Mithril Golem is now fully charged, and he will have a burst of output in the next round]
[So he will most likely reveal a control card to break the opponent's defense]
Sure enough, as soon as Director Feng finished speaking, Gan Daofu revealed his hidden card.
【Freeze forever...】
In the card, a wizard with frost on his body slowly walked out from the beam of light.
【Ice Mage】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 0, 100/100, 5/5
[Ice Armor - Passive]: Ice Mage's attack power -30, the target gains the [Cold] effect when attacked
[Ice Cold - Passive]: When the Ice Mage attacks a [Frozen] target, his attack power increases by 5 and he will not thaw it.
[Ice Lance - 2 Energy]: The Ice Mage attacks the target with [Freeze] effect for 2 turns
[Ice Coffin - 3 Energy]: The Ice Mage becomes [Frozen] and gains [Invincibility] for 1 round
(【Cold】: Enter the 【Frozen】 state in the next round)
As expected, it is indeed a control card.
Moreover, the ability of the fourth item, which is used to avoid concentrated fire and instant kill, is simply first-rate.
"【Freeze】, breaking your 【Defense】, triggering the passive and scene card effects, causing 15 points of damage."
"[Mithril Puppet] activates [Charge Power], causing 60 points of damage."
"【Golden Puppet】 launches an attack, causing 40+10 damage."
"【Melee Mage】 launches an attack, triggering the passive skill to deal 50 damage."
"My damage this time is as much as 175 points. How should you deal with it?"
After revealing the card, Gan Daofu looked very proud.
Just as Director Feng said, this round, it is his turn to show his power.
No matter how the opponent changes, he can only replace one of his own cards at most.
And he can get rid of the opponent's giant card with 150 health points, which is definitely a profit.
“How to deal with it?”
Shi Li's little ball of light stretched out a pair of hands and spread them out.
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
As he spoke, he revealed a card.
"Forehead……"
When Gan Daofu saw this card, he was stunned.
Hunchback Sister: [Wow! This card is revealed really well! ]
[Director Feng, did he hear what you said? ]
Director Feng: [Hehehe... That's not the case.]
[I can only say that I thought of the same thing]
