Chapter 438: Red Rock Brand
"Good fellow."
As soon as [Red Rock Follower Hunter] appeared, Shi Li immediately raised his eyebrows.
Obviously, this was a deliberate act.
Red Rock Disciple, Red Rock Territory, isn't this obviously a set card?
In terms of effect, it is also immune-reducing treatment.
Then being [Ignite] means adding blood, which is equivalent to recovering 10 points per round.
Active skills also consume 10 points, which means there is no consumption.
Next, the Lizard Man revealed the first row of cards in his middle column.
【Father God is watching over us! 】
This time, it was also a lizard man who came out.
The projection even looked somewhat like the old man across the card table.
In his left hand was a broken ceramic bowl, and in his right hand was a strange odd-shaped wooden instrument.
[Red Rock Believer Priest]
Rage, 30 points, A
Attack 0, 150/150
[Red Rock Believers - Talent]: Red Rock Believers Priests are immune to any healing reduction effects
[Unstained by Blood - Passive]: Red Rock Priest's attack power -30, maximum health +50
[Red Rock Bodyguard - Passive]: The Red Rock Cultist Priest gains 10 points of damage reduction when being [Ignite]
[Self-Sacrifice - 30 HP]: Red Rock Cultist Priest causes the card with the lowest HP to gain 50 [Healing]
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this projection is just a frail old lizardman.
In fact, in this [Red Rock Territory], it is a very hard and soft card, and it also has big breasts.
The main focus is on its active skill.
It will automatically select the card with the lowest health, or 50 points of [Healing].
In Shi Li's opinion, this is a totally magical skill.
【Treatment】is a follow-up action compared to attack.
If the prediction is not good, it can easily fall on a full-health card and be wasted.
But now this [Self-Sacrifice] has the function of automatically finding the target with the lowest health.
This almost completely eliminates the need for the player to make predictions, making it very intelligent.
However, as a price, the health consumption of [Red Rock Believer Priest] is also very high .
The key is that it is only immune to reduced treatment, but not to the damage of [Ignite].
So you will lose 10 points of blood every round.
If you release a skill every round, it is equivalent to spending 40 blood points in exchange for 50 points of [Healing].
If it is released after 1 round, it is equivalent to spending 50 blood points in exchange for 50 points of [Healing].
If the interval exceeds 1 round, you will lose blood.
So even though 50 points of [Treatment] may seem like a lot, you won’t actually make that much.
[Forward! Forward!]
The card unveiled on the opponent's right was finally no longer a lizard man.
Instead, it is a tracked mechanical vehicle with a thick armor plate on the front.
Mars Progress
Determined, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/2
[Cosmic Shell - Talent]: Mars Advance is immune to all delayed effects
[Lone Star Operation - Passive]: When Mars Advance is a wild card, it blocks all enemies.
[Self-Energy System - Passive]: When Mars Advance performs [Defense], it recovers 1 energy point
[Self-Repair System - 2 Energy]: Mars Advance performs [Defense] and gains 30 [Healing]
Although this card is not a lizard card, it is also immune to [Ignite].
As a steadfast card, it is not very threatening in terms of attack.
However, we need to pay attention to the second entry, [Operation Lone Star].
This type of entry has also been seen in the decks of the Steadfast Team recently.
This means that even if there is only one card left in the first row, [Mars Advance], it will provide full blocking for its three columns of cards.
If you don't kill it, you won't be able to play the cards that come after it.
This card can easily play its role when it comes into play.
You should attack it first, as it can demonstrate great survivability through [Defense].
If you don't play it first, it can continue to provide blocking for the entire team when it becomes the last card in its row.
According to normal playing rules, the first row of cards must be cleared first.
So in theory, since you have to clean it up anyway, it’s better to leave it for last.
After all, there are few cards revealed in the early stages, and it takes a lot of effort to get rid of such hard cards.
However, if you follow this tactic, there is a high chance that Mars Forward will seize the opportunity and use normal attacks to deal damage.
30 points of output may not be a big threat, but if you fight for a few more rounds, it will definitely cause considerable damage.
At the same time, Shi Li also needs to face the pressure of [Ignite] the whole audience.
"Sorry, young man, it's my duty."
After revealing the first row of cards, the lizard man stroked his beard and smiled.
The Red Rock Society is not a low-ranking force like the Green Head Gang next door. You can't just join it if you want to.
Generally speaking, most poker players will fail the first time when facing this level of test.
"Actually, I don't have that many cards. You can always pass if you try a few more times."
Seeing that Shi Li didn't say anything, he continued.
"Let's get started."
Of course Shi Li would ignore such verbal harassment.
These few cards are not difficult for me.
A set of tactics has begun to form in my mind.
Facing an opponent of this level, he did not intend to use S-level cards to crush him.
The unveiling is complete, and the action phase begins.
Shi Li's desire to attack was not strong in this round.
After all, [Sweeping Monk] cannot attack actively, and both it and [Weapon Master] only have 20 points of attack power.
So the [Evil Dragon] adopted the [Defense] strategy.
That's right, the [Evil Dragon], which has the highest attack power and also poses a control threat, adopted the [Defense] strategy instead.
This card has great control, but also great damage absorption capabilities.
[Evil Dragon Scales - Passive]: The Evil Dragon has the [Toughness] effect
[Evil Spirit Revival - Passive]: For every 80 points of damage taken by the Evil Dragon, the energy is restored by 2 points.
[Evil Energy Conversion - Passive]: The evil dragon automatically consumes energy to resist damage, and each 1 point of energy resists 10 points of damage
All 3 entries are related to survival.
In a PVP game, the purpose of placing this card in the first row is actually to absorb damage.
The opponent is wary of the control of the [Evil Dragon] and will definitely attack it.
Because of its 4/4 energy, if it is not attacked during the unveiling round, it can definitely release [Defection] 2 times.
Since you know the other party will definitely attack, just [defend].
He is tanky and can use [Defense] to absorb damage steadily.
Although it is not a steadfast card, its invisible taunting and survivability are better than those of ordinary steadfast cards.
[Sweeping Monk] couldn't move, and only [Weapon Master] dealt some damage to the opposite [Red Rock Believer Priest].
The opponent loses 40 HP and gains 50 HP. Each attack by it deals 20 points of damage, and Shi Li still earns 10 points of damage.
The game went exactly as he expected. [Red Rock Follower Hunter] + [Mars Advance] focused their fire on [Evil Dragon], causing 20 + 15 points of damage.
35 damage, 30 of which was offset by [Fel Conversion].
[Evil Dragon] only took 5 points of damage.
At the end of round 1, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Hunter][Priest][Mars]
VS
【Evil】 【Weapon】 【Sweep the floor】
"On the surface, you exchanged 5 HP for my 10 HP, a small profit.
But don't forget, you will still have to deal a total of 30 points of [Ignite] damage in the next round."
The Lizard Man was not at all panicked.
A new unveiling phase has arrived.
As if he felt that the front row was not stable enough, he revealed another survival card.
[The shield is invincible! ]
The projection revealed this time was a woman dressed strangely.
She was wearing heavy armor and a strange hat on her head.
That hat is like a small shield.
【Shield Witch】
Determined, 30 points, A
Attack 0, 150/150, 0/6
[Pain Collection - Talent]: Every time the team is attacked, the Shield Witch's health is reduced by 20 and her energy is increased by 1.
[Strong Happiness - Passive]: When the Shield Witch releases a skill, gain 30 points of [Healing]
[No Desire to Attack - Passive]: Shield Witch's attack power -30, upper limit of health +50
[Shield Protects You - 4 Energy]: Shield Witch releases 20 [Shield] for all her own cards.
Obviously, it is easy to play strong cards with the new mechanism.
This card is an A-level card with very strong functionality.
The active skill is actually [Shield] for everyone.
The negative impact of halving the healing was fully avoided. It seems that the opponent does not have that many cards that are directly immune to [Ignite].
But you can probably imagine that even if this card has 150 health points, its health line will be like a roller coaster.
After all, when teammates are hit, they lose blood.
If you encounter a card with multiple attacks, you may be killed instantly.
Theoretically, you only need to launch a total of 8 attacks and it will be killed instantly with full health.
So this card looks very powerful, but in reality it can only last for 1 or 2 late rounds at most.
Shi Li thought that the Lizardmen were not well matched.
Because on the surface, the compatibility between [Red Rock Priest] and [Shield Witch] is very high.
One loses blood rapidly, the other one replenishes blood greatly.
But in reality, it is equivalent to the [Red Rock Priest] being forced to bind to the [Shield Witch].
It can’t be said that the combination is terrible, but it’s not great either.
As for the card he unveiled in this round, it was an original card.
This card is located behind [Sweeping Monk].
[Flesh and blood...more flesh and blood! ]
The skinny zombie beast, dragging a red dagger, slowly walked out of the light column on the card.
【Sword Mourning】
Rage, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100
[Short Life - Talent]: Jiansang's attack ignores [Defense], but loses 30 health points per round
[Life Devouring - Passive]: After Jiansang attacks, gain 20 points of [Healing]
[Snatching Life - Passive]: If Jiansang participates in a kill this round, he gains 20 points of [Healing]
[Death - 30 HP]: Jiansang attacks 2 targets at the same time.
"Ha ha!"
As soon as the lizard man saw this card, he laughed.
Under the coverage of [Red Rock Territory], it is too bad to put on a violent card that burns its own health.
Combined with [Ignite], this card will take 40 points of damage each round.
And in this round, it is impossible for it to cause a kill.
In other words, you will only get 10 points of [Healing], which is equivalent to losing 30 points of health per round.
At this rate, it won't survive more than 4 rounds.
But Shi Li didn't think so.
Although this card is restrained by the environment of this game, it is still undeniable that it is a strong card.
Being surrounded by so many S-level cards, its brilliance is obscured.
In 4 rounds, how much damage can [Sword Mourning] deal when it ignores [Defense].
120 points, well worth the money.
What's more, 4 rounds can definitely result in a kill.
If a kill is caused in 3 rounds, it will be able to obtain an additional 30 points of [Healing] throughout the whole process.
If you lose 120 HP points in 4 rounds, and then add 100 HP + 30 points, you can live one more round.
I believe that the other party can also calculate this.
So the unveiling was completed and the action phase began.
So far, the Lizardman deck has more than enough survivability but insufficient output capability.
Therefore, Shi Li stopped defending here, and used [Evil Dragon] + [Weapon Master] + [Sword Mourning] to attack [Red Rock Follower Hunter] together, directly knocking away 90 points of its health.
This gave the lizard man a big scare.
Fortunately, the 50 points of [Healing] from the [Red Rock Priest] came immediately, bringing the health line back to 60 points.
But how could Shi Li not have expected this situation?
His attack actually blocked the opponent's energy.
[Shield Witch] suffered 60 health points loss and energy 3/6, and cannot release skills in the next round.
So there is no doubt that [Red Rock Follower Hunter] will die in the next round no matter what.
As for him, the [Evil Dragon] was just low on health, nothing serious.
A new unveiling phase has arrived, and the Lizardmen are once again the first to unveil.
【Lava, filling my brain! 】
A huge stone man crawled out from the card.
Its surface was the color of burning red stone, and just as the lines said, magma was flowing out of its seven holes.
【Lava Guardian】
Wisdom, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100, 4/4
[Lava Spread - Talent]: The Lava Guardian's attack consumes 1 energy point and has the effect of [Diffusion]
[Burning Fist - Passive]: The turn when Lava Guard is [Ignited], Attack +10
[Lava Cooling - Passive]: When the Lava Guardian runs out of energy, gain 20 points of [Shield] each round.
[Lava Sacrifice - Passive]: Lava Guardian recovers 1 energy point for every 2 targets it kills.
This card can attack and defend.
It is also a relatively rare fully passive wisdom card.
By automatically consuming energy, you can obtain normal attack special effects.
After 4 rounds, it is estimated that it has almost become a wild card.
At that time, you can rely on 20 points of [Shield] to absorb damage.
However, the term [Lava Cooling] more or less overlaps with the active skill of [Shield Witch]'s effect.
“Nice card.”
Shi Li made a comment and then snapped his fingers.
Ding! Ding!
[Please, lick it! ]
【roar!】
That's right, he revealed two cards.
The two linked cards, [Origin of Violence] and [Long Tongue], were revealed together.
As mentioned before, the effect of [Red Rock Territory] somewhat restrains the linkage unveiling.
But Shi Li obviously had no scruples.
He just wanted to overcome the unfavorable conditions and use his strength to crush the opponent.
Who am I? I am a card player who even steps on gods.
If you can't even crush these small minions, then it would be a waste of time to stay in the buffer zone.
[Origin of Violence] and [Sword Mourning] both have high attack + health recovery on kill, and they are highly compatible.
Then the summoned [Violence Puppet] can't survive more than two rounds under [Ignite], which is equivalent to...
Help [Bi'anxian] unveil the plaque.
That’s right, his deck in this game is a summoning and resurrection deck with [Bian Xian] as the core.
Without the opponent's attack, the thin-health second-level summoning card can quickly withdraw from the field to provide energy for it.
The other side wants to be burned to ashes, but you just keep on living.
