Let’s go back in time a little bit, to when Shi Li and the Elf King just sat down at the table.
"Hello, Wang Defa."
"Hello, Elf King."
The two sides greeted each other in a friendly manner.
But just after this greeting, the Elf King seemed a little nervous.
In fact, he was hiding a little secret.
That is, he is the only one among the top 16 contestants who does not use a puppet.
The reason is simple, because his race or true self is a ball of elf light.
As for the code name on his head, it was just a little trick he used to make it difficult for people to tell whether it was a puppet light ball or the real body.
Why use the main body to come to the table? Because he needs to use the player's talent by approaching the main body.
His talent as a card player is quite special, which is that he can check the recent PVP win rate of nearby players.
Yes, even if the opponent is just a puppet ball of light, it can still be checked.
This talent allows him to have a preliminary estimate of his opponent's strength.
Especially when there are five Wang Defas on the opposite side.
Just when he was saying hello, the Elf King checked Shi Li's winning rate in the last ten games of 9+1.
Then he was surprised to find that the opponent’s winning rate in the past ten games was... 100%.
10 games with 9+1 all wins, combined with the recent games, immediately made him think of the two Wang Defas.
Sword card Wang Defa and milk card Wang Defa.
Of course, if others have also played other 9+1 PVP games outside the competition, they will also be counted in the most recent 10 games.
But even in practice games, a 100% win rate is still a shocking statistic.
So this forced the Elf King to be alert.
He decided to use his strongest series of decks - the Elf deck.
(Note: Thanks to designer [kday] for providing the deck concept for this series)
And so, both sides finished placing their cards in silence.
Shi Li didn't want to drag it out this time, so he was the first to unveil the plaque.
The three regular first cards he revealed were [Female Thief] + [Male Thief] + [Death Knight].
The scene card has not changed, and it is still [Sword Soul Hall].
Yes, after the [Golden Bell User] was upgraded the day before yesterday, today he planned to carry out a preset first-reveal tactic.
However, when the other party revealed the first card, he frowned slightly.
[Da Da Da~]
In the card projection, a ball of gray light floated out lightly.
Around it, pieces of rubble were floating around.
[Stone Spirit]
Determined, 30 points, A
Attack 10, 150/150, 0/2
[Birth is Not Easy - Passive]: Stone Spirit Score +20
[Heavy Stone - Passive]: Stone Spirit's HP limit +50
[Rock Skin - Passive]: Stone Spirit's damage when attacked is -10
[Rock Regeneration - 2 Energy]: The Stone Spirit performs [Defense] and gains 30 [Healing]
To be honest, this card is a bit lame in Shi Li's eyes.
Because originally it could be a double-entry combination of "score +10, upper limit of health +50" + "score +10, damage received -10".
The effect that can be achieved with 2 entries now takes up 3 entries.
In other words, this card is equivalent to a pseudo-A-grade card.
Even from a scoring perspective, it is definitely not a high score and is considered a failing A-level card.
[Da Da Da~]
Then I didn’t expect that the opponent’s second card was also quite similar.
The card projection is also a ball of light, but this time it is surrounded by floating water.
【Water Spirit】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 10, 100/100, 4/4
[Birth is Not Easy - Passive]: Water Spirit Score +20
[Water Toughness - Passive]: The Water Spirit gains 1 layer of [Barrier] each round.
[Pure Nourishment - 2 Energy]: The Water Spirit selects 1 target and releases [Purification] on it.
[Pure Cleansing - 3 Energy Points]: The Water Spirit selects 1 target and releases [Quick Purification] on it.
This card is a supportive first card, with 1 layer of [Barrier] per turn, which can provide it with a fairly high survivability.
However, Shili also gave it a pseudo-A-level evaluation.
Even restricted by the 4-point energy limit, its score is lower than that of [Stone Elf].
[Da Da Da~]
As expected, the third card unveiled was also a ball of elf light.
This time, the light ball was surrounded by yellow sand.
【Sand Spirit】
Balanced, 30 points, A
Attack 10, 100/100
[Birth is not easy - Passive]: Sand Spirit +20
[Sand Agility - Passive]: Sand Spirit has the [Super Armor] effect
[Quicksand Body - Passive] Sand Spirit receives -10 damage
[Flowing Without Dispersing - Passive]: When the health of the Sand Spirit reaches 0, gain [Stay] for 2 turns
Sure enough, it was another elf card with only 10 attack points.
It possesses [Super Armor], and its damage immunity is damage-oriented rather than attack-oriented, making it more advanced than [Stone Spirit].
As for these three first-row cards, Shi Li only wanted to say that they were stinky and hard.
But it's no threat to me at all.
The favorite first opponent of this tactic of [Female Thief] + [Male Thief] + [Death Knight] is a defensive card with weak threat.
"Do you think these three cards of mine are lame?"
After the card was revealed, the Elf King's confidence returned.
He doesn't think that his elf set will lose to the opponent.
3 cards seem to be very interesting, and actually they are correct.
but……
The Elf
【Da da da da da～】xN
Amid the crisp and wonderful laughter, the shadow of a lush forest full of vitality slowly rose above the card table.
"this……"
As soon as this scene card appeared, Shi Li finally understood.
I understand why the opponent would play three high-scoring but low-powered elf cards like this.
[Forest of Elves]
Scenario, A, 0/5
[Elf Pure Land]: The Forest of Elves will only take effect when all your cards are elf cards.
[Ancestor's Blessing]: Each round, the temporary attack power of 1 elf card is increased by 10
[Racial Cohesion]: If the basic attack power of all your cards is 10 points, all of them will be revealed immediately.
[Spiritual Power Growth]: Every 5 rounds, your spirit card's attack power will be permanently increased by 5 points
It turns out that the attack power of these elf cards is so low, just to reveal them all!
You should know that the basic attack power of all 10 cards is 10, so if all are revealed, the total attack power will be 100 points.
This will basically not lose to any first three cards.
Then its advantage is that all the cards can be revealed in the first round, which is beneficial to the performance of each card's attributes and energy charging.
And every 5 rounds, the attack power will be collectively increased by 5 points, which also makes up for the lack of attack power of this deck.
Afterwards, Shi Li watched helplessly as the other party unveiled the elf cards one by one.
[Iron Spirit]: Violent, A-level, with attack power bonus.
[Light Elf]: Balanced, Grade A, with group healing and output.
[Wind Elf]: Wind chasing, A-level, with displacement and assistance.
[Fire Spirit]: Breaking the momentum, A-level, with displacement, attack power bonus and AOE.
[Grass Elf]: Listen to the wind, A level, with summoning.
[Ice Elf]: Wisdom, A-level, with control.
[Old Elf King]: Listening to the Wind, A-level, with summoning.
After the unveiling, the initial cards of both parties are as follows:
[Forest of Elves] (0/5)
300 points, 0 cards remaining 0 points
【Spirit King】【Vacant Seat】【Vacant Seat】
[Ice Spirit][Grass Spirit][Fire Spirit]
[Iron Spirit][Light Spirit][Wind Spirit]
[Stone Spirit][Water Spirit][Sand Spirit]
VS
【Female Thief】【Mourning Demon】【Knight】
【Hero】【Cover】【Cover】
100 points, remaining 6 cards 200 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (0/15)
Hunchback Sister: [Wow! A-level all-self-reveal group! ]
[It’s only the 16 to 8 round, and Elf King has already pulled out his ultimate weapon! 】
Director Feng: [Don’t be fooled by the fact that this deck seems to have low attack power]
[However, it is a very complicated math problem to decide whether to reveal all 100 attack points at the beginning or reveal 300 attack points one by one.]
[Need to be judged based on actual situation]
[It cannot be said that this all-elven deck is necessarily worse than ordinary decks]
After a quick glance, Shi Li knew that these cards had their own characteristics.
If they are allowed to fully exert their influence, the opponent will have a lot of trouble.
He knew that his deck would have to be changed immediately starting from the next round.
"Now let me let you experience the feeling of being surrounded by elves."
"Come on, let me try."
As the two exchanged words, the first round of action in the game officially arrived.
The first one to take action at the table was the Ice Elf.
【Ice Spirit】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 10, 100/100, 4/4
[Birth is Not Easy - Passive]: Ice Spirit Score +20
[Ice Armor - Passive]: Damage taken by Ice Spirit when [Freezing] -10
[Quick Freeze - 0 Energy]: The Ice Spirit freezes itself for 1 round, recovering 1 energy during the period
[Ice Spirit Shock - 4 Energy]: Ice Spirit freezes 1 row of cards for 1 turn
This wise card has powerful control capabilities and the ability to restore energy on its own.
[Freeze] brings damage reduction, which can be considered a half damage reduction mechanism.
Because if it is broken by an attack with special effects in high priority, it will lose the damage reduction in the low priority normal attack of this round.
But as a starting point, the control of row 1 is very powerful.
This is the Elf King.
[Forest of Elves] grants [Fire Elves] a 10-point attack bonus this round.
[Ice Spirit] released a skill, causing [Female Thief] + [Death Knight] to [Freeze].
[Iron Spirit] Consumes 50 health points to activate the skill, increasing the attack power by 10.
The remaining cards join in the concentrated fire, causing 100 damage, [Demon Knight] 150→50.
8 cards, plus [Fire Spirit] itself has a 10-point attack power bonus, as well as the bonus of the scene card.
A total of 100 points of damage were dealt.
[Light Spirit] automatically released 10 points of [Healing] 50→60 to [Iron Spirit] at the end of the turn.
Shi Li is here.
[Female Thief] + [Male Thief] use special effect attacks to offset each other, causing 25 + 25 damage, [Stone Elf] 150→100.
After the first round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Forest of Elves] (1/5)
300 points, 0 cards remaining 0 points
【Spirit King】【Vacant Seat】【Vacant Seat】
[Ice Spirit][Grass Spirit][Fire Spirit]
[Iron Spirit 60][Light Spirit][Wind Spirit]
[Stone Spirit 100][Water Spirit][Sand Spirit]
VS
[Female Thief][Mourning Demon][Knight 50]
【Hero】【Cover】【Cover】
100 points, remaining 6 cards 200 points
[Sword Soul Hall] (3/15)
Director Feng: [Elf King, this is the most correct approach]
[Because once the Death Knight defends, its 10 points of damage reduction will be a headache for the Elf deck]
[So what he has to do is take advantage of the freezing opportunity to cause a lot of damage to it]
[This way, we can easily take away the Death Knight in the next round]
Hunchback Sister: [Looking at the deck of Sword Card player Wang Defa, there are very few cards that carry damage reduction]
[I wonder how he will respond this time]
During the analysis of the two commentators, Shi Li revealed his second secondary card.
【Yo yo yo～】
On the card, a large deer with stripes like red flowers slowly walked out.
This is a relatively strong loose card of Shi Li, but it has not been revealed in an official competition for a long time.
【Flower Jade Deer】
Wisdom, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 4/4
[Flower Qi - 2 Energy]: Hua Yulu chooses a target and gains 30 [First Aid]
[Flower Stone - Passive]: After the Flower Jade Deer runs out of energy, it will continue to be [Petrified]
[Stone Flower - Passive]: When Flower Jade Deer falls into [Petrified] state, you can select a target to release 30 points of [Healing] in this round.
([Petrification]: The target loses the ability to move, and the damage taken by the target when attacked during this round is -10)
How could he not understand the tactical intentions shown by the Elf King in the first round?
Indeed, what these elves fear most is damage reduction because their attack power is very low.
10 points of damage reduction can directly make them unable to deal any damage at all.
Of course, the opponent's deck does not consist entirely of elf cards with 10 attack points, there are also some with a low attack point of 20.
for example:
【Iron Spirit】
Rage, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 60/100
[Birth is not easy - Passive]: Iron Spirit Score +20
[Iron Sharpness - Passive]: Iron Spirit's attacks ignore [Defense]
[Metal Power - Passive]: Iron Spirit Attack +10
[Refined Steel - 50 HP]: Iron Spirit's attack power +10 in this round, only once
Like other pseudo A-level elf cards, as a compensation for [Difficult Birth], it has a simple +10 attack power attribute.
This is a very rare situation.
After releasing the skill, this card has 30 attack points.
Add the 10 points from the scene card, that’s a full 40 points.
And it also ignores [Defense], which is a big concern for Shi Li.
The other one is the [Fire Spirit].
[Fire Spirit]
Break, 30 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100, 1/4
[Birth is not easy - Passive]: Fire Spirit Score +20
[Fire Frenzy - Passive]: Fire Spirit's attack power +10
[High Temperature Burning - Passive]: When the Fire Spirit deals damage, it will have the [Ignite] effect for 1 round
[Skyfire Meteor - 4 Energy]: The Fire Spirit moves to an empty card slot and launches 1 attack on all adjacent enemies.
One of the purposes of this card is to reduce the opponent's healing effect.
Then, it can ignore the powerful AOE of both enemies and friends, and can also cause large amounts of damage and spread [Ignite] at critical moments.
"hehe……"
Seeing [Flower Jade Deer] appear on the scene, the Elf King smiled slightly.
"Playing the healing card? That's totally in my plan."
"First of all, your recovery effect will be suppressed by my [Fire Spirit]."
"Secondly, when the healing card is added, the overall attack rhythm will be slowed down."
"In this way, the number of rounds of the game will inevitably increase."
"My elf deck will definitely be able to stack two 5-turn attack bonuses."
His tone sounded very confident.
