Free Web NovelChapter 1071: Chapter 399 The Brand New Sheep God_2
The direction of the skills is also similar to the original version.
The original skill 13 affected oneself, while skill 24 targeted the enemy.
The new skill 13 targets the enemy, while skill 24 affects oneself.
To be more precise, now the Sheep God’s skill 24 mainly affects one’s own people.
[One Sword Star Dim], when released, inflicts the target with 10 points of [Powerlessness], that is, it reduces the target’s Attack Power by 10 points.
points of [Powerlessness] can be a disaster for cards that execute multiple attacks in multiple segments.
Let’s take the most extreme example.
The [Kung Fu Sheep God] itself fears [Powerlessness].
Because it possesses True Damage, which can ignore the opponent’s Damage Reduction.
But without [Coating], if it suffers from 10 points of [Powerlessness], it’s essentially like facing 10 points of damage reduction against anyone.
points of damage from 4 attacks would be directly reduced to 40 points.
If the target then goes into [Defense], that would be 20 points of damage.
This shows how powerful the effect of [Powerlessness] is.
[Two Swords Star Shine], when released, grants 10 points of [Encourage] to one ally.
This target can also be the [Kung Fu Sheep God] itself.
In fact, applying it to itself is a very excellent choice.
Because unless there are other cards in the formation that can attack 3 times in 3 segments.
Who else could benefit more from [Encourage] than the Sheep God, with its 2 attacks plus True Damage?
It could directly turn [Two Swords Star Shine]’s 20 + 20 points of damage into 30 + 30 points of damage.
Originally, as a multi-attack card, the Sheep God was already highly dependent on [Encourage].
Now it can be self-sufficient.
[Three Swords Star Break], when released, inflicts the target with 10 points of [Armor Break].
This effect is somewhat similar to [Two Swords Star Shine]’s [Encourage].
But it’s superior to [Two Swords Star Shine].
Because [Encourage] only boosts one source of DPS, [Armor Break] effectively enhances all DPS.
And in this round, it also increases the Sheep God’s own DPS from 20 + 20 + 20 to 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 points.
It also signifies a further enhancement of its DPS capability. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Comparing the DPS curves of the original and the new version, we can draw a conclusion.
Before it was 20 points in round 1, 20/40 points in round 2, 20/60 points in round 3, and 20/40/80 points in round 4.
It changed to 20 points in round 1, 20/60 points in round 2, 20/90 points in round 3, and 20/60/80 points in round 4.
The peak DPS also shifted, from multiples of 4 rounds to multiples of 3 rounds.
That’s the power of [Armor Break].
Of course, if we were to talk about when [Kung Fu Sheep God] truly reigns supreme,
it would be in round 12, and in rounds that are multiples of 12.
Because in these rounds, any skill it uses will trigger special effects.
[Four Swords Star Life] is the most powerful of all.
Almost the opposite of [Four God Pursuit], it’s one extreme of offense and the other of defense.
Upon release, it can resurrect an ally with 10 Health Points and 0 Point Energy.
Compared with other resurrection cards, a mere 10 Health Points resurrection might not seem impressive.
But it’s important to realize that in the Cube Card Metaverse, the cost of [Resurrection] is quite steep.
So the [Resurrection] of a general card isn’t so easy to execute.
Just take the Resurrection card I have on hand, the [Ethereal Wind Priest].
Ethereal Wind Priest
Listening to the Wind, 30 points, C
Attack 10, 100/100, 0/5
[Listen to Faint Wind - Passive]: Ghost Wind Priest Attack-20, Covered Card may recover energy
[Faint Wind Call - 5 Point Energy]: The Ethereal Wind Priest resurrects one space of an allied card
([Resurrection]: The card re-enters the game with 50% health and 0% energy)
Listening to the Wind, 5 points of energy, for only 50% health.
The cost for resurrecting with full health or full energy, or even full health and full energy, can be imagined.
But for the [Kung Fu Sheep God] as an S-rank card, or rather (1 + 1) = 1 S-rank card,
the cost of its resurrection is relatively smaller.
Put simply, it’s just a matter of waiting rounds.
Moreover, within this, [Four Swords Star Life] hides a key point that’s quite impressive.
Again, take the example of the [Ethereal Wind Priest]; all the resurrection cards Ree Shil has seen so far target the space.
Whichever ally card last remained on that space gets resurrected.
If you want to resurrect a Giant Card, it’s not impossible.
For a 2-space Giant Card, you would need a skill that resurrects 2 spaces.
Or you have two Resurrection cards, each resurrecting 1 space simultaneously.
But the new Sheep God is different; its skill can target Giant Cards.
Of course, when it comes to reviving, the most cost-effective choice is the Spirit Master, although it’s a Giant Card that only occupies one space.
Even with just 10 Health Points, If the Spirit Master is summoned to attack once before exiting, it’s a huge gain.
Think of it as a one-time-use cannon.
To prevent the Sheep God’s resurrection methods, you can only use the usual tactics.
By using displacement and summoning to occupy slots, you prevent the targeted resurrection.
"This ’Flawless Galaxy’ card, it was an absolutely brilliant pick.
It’s already powerful on its own, but I didn’t expect it could also fuse to create this new Sheep God on the fly.
It’s like my Sheep God has a total of two sets of 8 skills.
Add some, ahem, not devious, but smart little tricks, and it becomes even harder for others to guess its mechanism."
Ree Shil was well aware of the deterrent power of the two different Sheep Gods.
Even before the card game starts, the opponent would have to guess and predict which Sheep God he’ll use.
Putting himself in the shoes of his opponent, he found the idea terrifying.
"It may be premature to say this, but could it be that the City Competition championship is already in the bag?
I wonder if there has ever been a competitor with 4 S-rank cards in history?"
Considering the S-rank cards that might be added during the tournament or subsequently, Ree Shil genuinely felt he wasn’t boasting.
All those reincarnations of gods, can they really force out all of my S-rank cards?
"The reincarnation of gods? Forget it.
I might as well go fight the gods directly."
Having come to a conclusion, he comfortably lay down on the bed.
...
A month later, Ree Shil returned to the Cube Card Metaverse.
He spent over 20 of those 30 days in the world of the Flawless Galaxy.
Because, after completing the mission, he not only received S-rank material cards but also a crystal that naturally travels back and forth to that place.
The time ratio between the two places was 1:10, all for the mission of the Guardian Dragon.
However, without the company of the Flawless Galaxy, Ree Shil felt a bit bored.
Plus, he had been busy with missions before and hadn’t had a chance to properly experience the local customs and practices.
So, this time when he went there, he didn’t do anything special.
Just laid back, ate, drank and was merry.
When in a good mood, he occasionally searched for the Right Heart Sect, providing them with a long-term meal ticket.
He spent over 200 days there like this before he left contentedly.
"It’s been quite a while since last time, I should be able to enter the buffer zone now, right?
It’s time to rack up some points."
With his spirits high, he opened the Manager Panel.
[Current queue: 99+]
[Estimated wait time: 45 days]
[Would you like to start queuing?]
"Why are there more people than last time? There were only 50+ last time."
He complained, then clicked confirm.
days, the City Competition would almost be starting by then.
Worst case, if it really takes that long, I’ll just jump in and immediately leave.
[Respected Manager]
[Your current ranking is 9th]
[The top 10 do not need to queue]
[Would you like to enter now?]
"Phew, thank goodness, it’s the same as last time."
Ree Shil let out a sigh of relief.
But unlike last time, he’d been ranked 1st.
It seems the Manager Team recruited quite a few heavy hitters in this time.
"That’s good, that way those Right Heart Deities won’t pay too much attention to me.
After all, I’m just ranked 9th." free𝑤ebnovel.com
He clicked confirm again and directly entered the Pure White Space.
After swiftly handling the new card, he walked through the Teleportation Portal to officially enter the Buffer Zone.
But just as he entered, he saw a jelly-like figure.
"I knew it! Henry Thompson!
I’ve finally caught you, you god!
Boop boop!"
"Uh... come on."
