Chapter 444: Shuffling the Cards to Prepare for Battle
Shi Li thought a lot about this round of 3+1 deck.
The first and most exciting card would be the [Ghost Fire Boy].
【Wild Fire Boy】
Chasing the Wind, 60 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Expensive Motorcycle - Passive]: Double the score of the Ghost Fire Boy
[Short Circuit System - Passive]: The Ghost Fire Boy will leave the stage in the current round when the card is unveiled.
[Broken Traction - Passive]: When the Ghost Fire Boy leaves the field, a Steadfast Summoning Card can be used to release summoning skills without consumption.
[Self-Overload - Passive]: When the Will-O-Wisp Boy leaves the stage, he deals [True Damage] equal to his own score to the two unveiled targets, and cannot [Defend]
In the first round, the damage is 30+60+60=150 points.
This is an absolute example of an explosive start.
It can even pull the summoning cards of teammates, which is very powerful.
But as the competition has come to this point, the [Seal] card has basically become standard equipment and everyone has one.
In a game like 3+1 where the margin for error is extremely low, I believe most players will have one card prepared.
When [Ghost Fire Boy] meets [Seal], the ending can be summed up in one word: It’s game over.
Then there is [Spirit Master], with its powerful health + powerful attack power, and [Coating] effect.
But in the 3+1 game, there are two problems.
The first one is the score issue.
The maximum score for 3+1 is 120 points, and this guy can take up 100 points for himself.
The second is the output problem.
With 100 attack points, it is easy to cause damage overflow.
Of course, in theory it is still very strong.
With 100 attack points, 3 normal attacks are enough to take away all the opponent's wild cards.
Assuming that the opponent has evenly distributed cards and does not consider attributes and skills, then in three rounds the total damage that can be caused to the [Spirit Master] is 90+60+30=180 points.
300 for 180, definitely a big profit.
But the problem is that this is just a theoretical value, just an assumption.
In this kind of game, the opponent will naturally carry control cards. [Spirit Master] only has [Coating] but no [Invincibility], nor does it have a T2 attack that can counter the control.
If you are accused, there will be no hope.
As a second best option, what about the [Soul Master] with 50 points and 50 attacks?
It’s not easy either.
Because it is a 3-grid giant card, and the grids in 3+1 are quite valuable.
As for his signature dish [Kung Fu Sheep God], it is not easy to make either.
It would be quite inappropriate for the Sheep God to be the first card.
Although it warms up very quickly, it is ultimately a breaking card and needs to be warmed up.
It takes 1 to 2 rounds of warm-up before you can use [Stun] or [Invincibility].
Not to mention 2 turns, even in just 1 turn, without damage reduction, there is a high enough possibility that it will be killed by the opponent's 3 cards' concentrated fire.
Moreover, because the abnormal effect of [Exit] has been rampant for several rounds, the [Coating] card is now about to become a standard card that everyone in the competition must have at least one.
As for the use of [Kung Fu Sheep God] as the first row card in this kind of game, Shi Li believes that its only function is tactical value.
His Sheep God can [Defend] throughout the whole process, but the opponent dare not not focus on it first.
Because as long as the Sheep God gains 1 point of energy, it can use the extremely threatening [Stun].
[Stun] not only breaks the opponent's defense but also makes it impossible for them to attack. If you can pull it off, you might have a chance to use [Invincibility].
If you hit [Invincible], you can naturally hit [Exit].
After this series of moves, the opponent is bound to lose.
What's more, they don't quite understand the mechanism of the Sheep God, so they dare not give him such an opportunity.
Using 20 points is equivalent to a card with infinite taunt, which is actually not a loss.
But this is not what Shi Li wants.
Combining the team's practical experience, he decided to reconfigure the deck.
And I shuffled the cards properly after a long time.
There was still half a day before the start of the main competition, and he locked himself in the room after logging off.
"With over 4,000 points in hand, spending a little won't be a problem."
After sitting on the sofa and adjusting a comfortable posture, Shi Li opened the panel.
If you want to know where to find the best and most convenient material cards, it would naturally be the Manager Points Store.
I currently have an idea for a 3+1 deck, and there are only a few pieces of the puzzle left to complete it.
"Let's see what sword materials we have first."
Enter the filter criteria and the results will pop up one by one.
In fact, except for S-level related items, everything else in the manager points store is not expensive.
Normal A-grade material cards are roughly in the 100 to 300 point range.
It’s almost the price of a god’s head or a left-heart or right-heart den.
Any manager who performs his or her tasks normally can usually afford it.
Because the conditions are set simply: A-level sword material card.
So there are a lot of options today.
There are more than 300 matching material cards in total.
"Forget about things like [Sunflower Sword Manual]."
He first screened out several materials whose names alone seemed unreliable.
But soon, a material card caught his attention.
[Laser Sword]: There is a chance that the card will gain the [Charm] effect
([Charm]: Seize control of the target, effective from the next round)
"oh?"
[Charm] effect is relatively rare in actual combat.
Shi Li only remembered encountering this situation a few times.
The boss card of [Mechanical Sin Dragon] had an entry for [Charm].
Then there is the scene card of the God of Halo that we met in the buffer zone.
This kind of entry, which is rare in reality, naturally made him very excited.
I looked at the prices, and it was rare for an A-grade material card to be worth 1,000 points.
It is ten times the price of an ordinary A-grade material card. No wonder it has not been traded away yet.
1000 points, it would be a huge loss if you bust.
"Borrow it out and preview it first."
Shi Li was not worried about exploding.
"Is that why the laser sword can make the card gain the [Charm] effect?"
He was more curious about this.
So I took the cards, lay down and did a batch preview directly.
Generally, only humanoid cards can be integrated with this kind of physical sword material cards.
In other words, just having hands will do.
Something like an octopus tentacle should also work, although he doesn't have that kind of card.
"call……"
20 minutes later, Shi Li opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Fortunately, they were not sold, otherwise 99.99% of the people would have lost everything."
Among all his humanoid cards, from E-level to A-level, only one card is compatible with [Laser Sword].
And it's a D-level card.
Who would use D-grade cards to melt A-grade materials for no reason?
Even he couldn't remember the origin of this card. The projection was a warrior with a black cloak and fully enclosed black armor.
I chose it at that time, probably because I thought the single combat entry was pretty good and looked pleasing to the eye.
However, if it is combined with [Laser Sword], that entry will be swallowed up.
The preview results are as follows:
【Skywalker】
Break, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/5
[I am your father - 5 energy points]: Skywalker chooses 1 target and grants it [Charm]
Honestly, this skill is kind of useless.
It consumes up to 5 points of energy, and the round of release will waste 1 round of action opportunity.
Unless it is an extreme case, it is basically useless.
Moreover, Shi Li believed that even in such an extreme situation, there must be other better solutions.
"Forget about this card. Put it back and wait for the right person."
Put away the [Laser Sword] and continue reading.
"What the hell is "I Have a Sword"? Such a random name."
"The [Sword Contest on Mount Huashan] has come out. Is this the name of the sword?"
"【Time-Cutting Sword】, this looks very unlucky."
I watched several pictures in a row, but there was nothing good to see.
That [Time-Cutting Sword] is a little interesting, it can actually create a time-killing card.
It is a card that restrains the Time Card label.
However, there were not many time cards in this session, and the biggest one was Fengnian’s [Time Enlightened One].
It feels like there is no use for it.
He continued selecting and previewing like this , and after 3 hours, Shi Li's eyes fell on a card worth only 100 points.
[Throat-sealing Sword]: Very small chance to make the card attack have [Silence] effect
“Again, it’s a very small probability.
But this is amazing.”
This material card states that it is an attack bonus.
In other words, it does not require any energy consumption and can also increase the card's normal attack to T2 priority.
The words "extremely small probability" may scare people away, but they are just right for him.
I borrowed the card again and previewed it.
"I support you."
As a result, after only a few minutes of preview, Shi Li jumped up from the sofa.
Because a card that can be integrated with [Throat-Sealing Sword] has appeared.
And the result is quite perfect!
Just what I wanted.
The card that can be fused is... [Master of Sneak Attack].
A B-level card, which can be upgraded to A-level after melting.
【Master of Sneak Attack】
Balanced, 30 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100
[Noble - Passive]: Sneak Master's score -5
[Kindness - Passive]: Sneak Master's score -5
[Humility - Passive]: The normal attack of the Sneak Shot Master has a [Silence] effect
[Martial Virtue - Passive]: The priority of the normal attack of the Sneak Attack Master is increased to the unveiling stage
The skinny penguin in the projection now had a long sword in his hand.
There are barbed hooks on both sides of the sword, and a long blood groove on the sword surface.
This thing doesn't look like a weapon used by decent people.
"This card is perfect."
Without complaining about the name of the new entry, this new entry just meets the result that Shi Li wanted.
"Then the configuration of the first row of cards is basically complete.
There is still one trump card left.”
In the horizontal 3+1, basically the only thing that can still produce changes is the ace.
The first row of cards is revealed by everyone together. Unless there are special cards or special circumstances, the only changes a player can make based on the battle situation and the opponent's cards are the replacement of scene card entries and the choice of trump cards.
“It’s difficult to change the scene cards for the time being.
I'd better focus on the trump card."
He believes that in a horizontal 3+1 game, there are only a few powerful trump cards.
The first one is the strong ability of single combat.
Including but not limited to damage reduction, control, summoning, recovery ability, etc.
The second way is to expose yourself in advance and join the battle.
The pace of 3+1 is very fast, and it is basically best to reveal it yourself in the first round.
There are two types of trump cards revealed in advance. One is auxiliary, such as cards like [Dragon Flag Division] that enhance the entire team.
Another example is powerful output, such as high-value cards like [King of Phantom Fire] and [Spirit Lord].
The third category is miscellaneous depending on the circumstances.
Leaving aside the miscellaneous ones for now, Shi Li thought that what he lacked now was the second type.
He has several cards of the first type, represented by [Kung Fu Sheep God].
The second trump card also needs to be rubbed.
So after another round of searching, he successfully upgraded several B-level cards into more qualified ace candidates.
The first one is the [Leader Frog] which is more of an auxiliary type.
【Leader Frog】
Wisdom, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 4/4
[Guilty Pleasure - Passive]: When a card on your side is retired, the Frog recovers 1 energy point
[Leader Appearance - Passive]: When the last regular card on the field is revealed, the Leader Frog is revealed as well.
[Frog Sword Blessing - 2 Energy]: The leader frog selects 1 target and grants it 30 [Shield] for 1 turn
[Frog Dew - 3 Energy]: The leader frog selects 1 target and releases [Quick Purification] on it.
([Shield]: Offsets the corresponding amount of damage)
(【Quick Purification】: Eliminate all negative statuses imposed on the party)
In a 3+1 game, this is almost equivalent to the first round of reveal.
And Wisdom cards are also very suitable for this kind of fast-paced small-scale combat.
Two [Shields] or one [Quick Purification] might be enough to change the situation of the battle.
When not releasing skills, it can also contribute to the output of the average card.
It is a very good functional trump card.
The second one is the [Captain Doram] who is more inclined towards output.
Captain Doram
Chasing the Wind, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 100/100, 0/4
[Tough Soul - Passive]: When the captain of the Doram is the ace, he gains [Super Armor]
[Lonely Soul - Passive]: When the Captain of the Doram is the Ace, gain [True Damage]
[Crisis Moment - Passive]: When your last row of cards is less than the enemy's, the captain of the Doram will automatically reveal
[Sole Blade - 4 Energy]: Captain Doram attacks and deals (30) + 20 damage. If no other cards are on the field, gain 30 [Healing]
This card was once the trump card of Shi Li's sword deck, and it was designed for single combat.
In a one-on-one fight, this card is actually very strong and is not inferior to those A-level cards at all.
He had made many contributions to him during the Lanlan City regional competition.
However, since he now has too many good cards, he doesn't have many opportunities to play.
Now a self-revealing entry has been added to it, and the upper limit of 10 points has been increased.
These two cards are basically on the verge of being eliminated.
So he doesn't have to worry too much about the future when he rubs it, as long as it works now.
After preparing a few more trump cards to deal with various situations, the preparations for this battle came to an end.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night. I washed up and had a good rest, waiting for tomorrow to come.
The next morning, Shi Li and Hui Chun went online together.
After following the system prompts and reading the rules again, everyone was teleported out .
Buzz!
When he regained consciousness, Shi Li found that he had once again turned into that elf light ball.
There are 35 other small light balls like his.
At this time, all the contestants were on a large stone arena.
There is no physical feature, no code name, and no voice.
They couldn't recognize each other at all.
A huge countdown word was floating above the ring.
There are 3 minutes (24 hours) left before the competition officially starts.
