Chapter 1132: Chapter 432: [Why Hasn’t Ruan Mei Come Yet]_2
Hunchback Woman: "Wow! Seven Scene Cards!
So Contestant 1 Henry Thompson also has seven Scene Cards!"
Museum Director Phoenix: "I heard that as long as you officially complete one of the Seven Series Dao, you could obtain the seven Scene Cards.
So far, the other representative teams have only brought out two cards.
His card is the third."
Hunchback Woman: "The Way of Breakthrough, I’ve been there too, and it’s very challenging.
What kind of person can actually clear it?
Museum Director Phoenix, what exactly is this card like?
I’ve heard you’re an expert in Scene Cards."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Well, after the version update, such Scene Cards are bound to be full of flexible terms.
The current flexible term is quite simple.
But it’s very suitable for use in the first Unveiling Stage, as it can provide enough firepower to deter the other party.
And I believe he should control the number of attacks in the early stages.
That way, when the first 8 hits accumulate, you can just bring out a strong DPS Breakthrough Card.
And gain the effect of [Heroic Spirit]."
Amidst the conversation between the two, Mei Lai had already begun to Reveal her first row cards.
Her three first row cards seem to be a set series deck.
All three card projections are female, with a consistent style, all wearing uniforms of some combat department.
Moreover, the names make it even more obvious that this is a set deck.
The one on the left side is a blonde woman wrapped in a jacket, holding a spiked Giant Hammer.
Whether it’s the hairstyle or the presence, it’s easy to associate her with a lion.
[Vanguard Operative]
Chasing the wind, 30 points, A
Attack 40, 150/150, 0/4
[Pioneering Bravery-Passive]: Vanguard Operatives can only make their debut as first row cards
[Striving for Courage-Passive]: The attack power of Vanguard Operatives increases by 10 in the first 2 rounds after revealing the card
[Strong Physique-Passive]: The maximum life value of Vanguard Operatives increases by 50
[Lion King Hammer - 3 Energy Points]: Vanguard Operative’s Attack includes [Spread], and restores 1 Energy Point to one of her own cards
(Note: Thanks to the designer [Zichen Guiwei] for providing the concept of this series of set decks)
Hunchback Woman: "Huh? According to the data, Mei Lai has never brought out this deck.
It seems that she has started to dig deep against our Henry Thompson."
Museum Director Phoenix: "This card, true to its name, is a Vanguard General.
It’s offensive and durable, and it can also assist other cards.
Indeed, it’s a rare card."
The card in the middle is a young lady wearing a beret.
She’s holding a specially made shield that looks like it’s modeled on a turtle shell.
[Heavily Armed Operative]
Determination, 30 points, A
Attack 0, 150/150, 0/4
[Hold the Line-Passive]: Heavily Armed Operatives can only appear as first row cards
[Focusing on Defense-Passive]: Attack Power of Heavily Armed Operatives decreases by 30, Maximum Life Value +50
[Turtle Shield-Passive]: Heavily Armed Operatives have a [Coating], and the damage incurred is reduced by 10
[Stand Behind Me - 4 Energy Points]: Heavily Armed Operative enters [Defense] state and blocks damage for a revealing card
Hunchback Woman: "Wow, another [Coating] card!
In this way, the coverage of Mei Lai’s first row with [Domineering Body], [Coating], [Rebound] is effectively 100%.
It seems that these first row cards were really prepared to target the Sheep God."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Its active skill is also powerful, using the [Defense] state to help her own cards block damage.
It not only increases her chances to recover energy, but also its innate 10 points of damage reduction makes it tough.
The only downside is the high energy consumption, the coverage rate for both cycles and targets is too low.
It can’t be considered a perfect A level card yet."
The projection for the card on the right side is a red-haired woman with ox horns on her head.
She holds a black long sword in her hand, and another red-shell longsword is sheathed across her back.
[Guard Operative]
Breakthrough, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
[Main Force in Battle-Passive]: Guard Operatives cannot [Defend]
[High Efficiency Training-Passive]: Guard Operatives recover an additional 1 Energy Point with each non-skill-based attack
[Stand to the Death-Passive]: When Guard Operatives drop to 0, they get 2 rounds of [Delay]
[Crimson Sky Flash - 3 Energy Points]: Guard Operative launches a (30) + 10 attack, with the effect of [Full Penetration]
Hunchback Woman: "Mei placed a DPS Card in the first row.
But I always have this feeling that this card seems to be a target for [Rebound], just to lure the opponent’s attack."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Indeed, but you can’t just not attack it.
Warming up for 2 rounds, on the 3rd round it releases its skill and recovers 1 Energy Point.
On the 4th round, its regular attack recovers 2 Energy Points.
This means that after warming up, it can use its Active Skill once every other Round.
In a 9+1 card game, the damage from [Full Penetration] can be very high. freewёbnoνel.com
Not to mention it’s [Full Penetration] with 40 points of damage.
The problem is ..."
Hunchback Woman: "The problem is that you need to be extra careful when using [Full Penetration], especially the first time you use it.
Otherwise, if you reveal the opponent’s King Card too early, it’s easy to end up at a loss against the opponent’s DPS."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Exactly."
Mei’s 3 cards are revealed and it’s Ree Shil’s turn.
Since he revealed a Breakthrough Card as the Scene Card, this round is obviously planning on focusing on Breakthrough Cards for the main combat power.
So in the first round, the card revealed is:
[Sharp Shield King Guard]
Breakthrough, 40 Points, A
Attack 20, 230/230, 0/4
[Huge Size - Passive]: The Sharp Shield King Guard occupies a 1x2 Card position, Health Points +100
[King’s Guard-Passive]: When the Sharp Shield King Guard and the King Card are in the same column, Health Points +30
[Heavy Shield-Passive]: The Attack Power of the Sharp Shield King Guard -20
[Offense and Defense-Passive]: The Sharp Shield King Guard can Attack while performing [Defense]
Hunchback Woman: "Ah ..."
As soon as this card was revealed, Hunchback Woman immediately let out a small cry.
Museum Director Phoenix: "This is a bit troublesome, Player Mei has inadvertently pinpointed Contestant 1 Henry Thompson to some extent."
Hunchback Woman: "We just finished saying that what [Guard Operatives] are most concerned about is revealing the opponent’s King Card too early.
Now that this [Sharp Shield King Guard] has appeared, it is tantamount to telling the opponent the range of their own King Card.
As long as the [Guard Operative]’s [Full Penetration] doesn’t hit the two columns where the [Sharp Shield King Guard] is, there won’t be any such concerns."
As for the other first row card, it’s not a Breakthrough Card.
It is the [False Saint], which he has consistently used as a first row card.
He has to use this card more now, or he won’t have the chance to use it later.
Also, there’s a clever advantage to using this card in this round.
That is, during its [Disguise], it can switch places with the Giant Card [Sharp Shield King Guard].
On the Card Table, this is equivalent to the [Sharp Shield King Guard] moving one position to the right and then the [False Saint] moving to the far left.
However, this comes with a disadvantage.
That is, in the process of moving from the left-middle column to the middle-right column, it will directly expose the column where his King Card is.
Firstly, since it triggered the term [King’s Guard], we can confirm that Ree Shil’s King Card is in the left-middle column.
So, if it moves to the middle-right column and [King’s Guard] becomes ineffective, it indicates that the King Card is in the left column.
If [King’s Guard] does not become ineffective, it indicates that the King Card is in the middle column.
This is a simple logic issue, and I believe any player who has made it to this stage would not overlook it."
After both parties finished revealing their cards, the Action Phase officially began.
Ree Shil’s cards actually can’t pose a one-round kill threat even when paired with the [Concerted Strike] of the [Way of Breakthrough].
Moreover, most of the opponent’s cards still have extra Health, exceeding 100 points.
That term is just for the sake of doing a little more DPS in the first round.
[King Guard] conducts [Defense] but can still perform a regular attack.
Together with [False Saint], they triggered this 20 points of Fixed Damage.
As for Mei’s side, she focused fire on [King Guard].
She could actually predict a little that [False Saint] would not [Defense], but chose to deliberately not attack it.
Because preserving its health would keep it from having to enter a full-time [Defense] state too soon.
This way, her [Full Penetration] could be more effective.
At the end of the first round, both sides’ card faces are as follows:
[Vanguard] [Heavy Equipment] [Guardian]
VS
[Sharp Shield] [King Guard] [False Saint]
In terms of Health, Ree Shil has a slight advantage.
But such a small advantage in the first round doesn’t count for much.
Both parties move into the second round’s Reveal Card Stage.
