With the experience of several previous matches, people had basically figured out the tactics for this 2V1 match format.
The advantage of the landlord side was their high average points.
A 70 points average card, even one without any damage skills that could only rely on plain attacks to deal damage, would become very threatening.
To counter this kind of card deck, the most straightforward method had to be used.
That was control, continuous control.
Even if one’s own side temporarily did no DPS, it would be fine as long as they could steadily control the high-scoring cards of the other party.
After all, the peasant side had more cards, so they would always be able to squeeze out cards to deal damage.
This tactic was only viable in an Alien-shaped game where one side had more cards to play than the other.
Therefore, after prior discussion, Determination Player 5 and Chasing Wind Number7 brought a very extreme card deck to the game.
After all, they believed that to turn the tables, they must resort to some extreme measures.
In the opening first round, they together Reveal Card three strong control cards and three energy cards.
Each strong control was specially equipped with specific energy.
In this way, the two of them each played a pair of cards.
The projection of the strong control card was a pile driving car with caterpillar tracks and a large telescopic vibrating drill head.
[Drilling Engineering Vehicle]
War, 20 points, A
Attack 20, 100/100, 1/7
[Engineering Vehicle - Passive]: When the Drilling Engineering Vehicle is Revealed Card, it gains one point of Energy
[Track Drive Wheel - Passive]: The Drilling Engineering Vehicle ignores any Negative Effects of the enemy’s Scene Card
[Vibratory Drill Head - Passive]: The attacks of the Drilling Engineering Vehicle are divided into two stages
[Fierce Drilling - 7 Point Energy]: The Drilling Engineering Vehicle attacks one target, causing [Dizziness]
This card had become increasingly common in Aberration Cards.
War Cards could be considered as half a Breakthrough Card, both requiring some Warming Up.
Their energy recovery was easier than Breakthrough Cards; in other words, War energy was cheaper than breaking force energy.
Thus, the energy consumption of War Cards was typically larger compared to Breakthrough Cards.
This card was brought out in this round not for anything else.
Its clauses 123, especially 12, were practically inconsequential.
The first clause was just one point of Energy.
Nothing special.
The second clause ignored the negative effects of the enemy’s Scene Card.
It appeared impressive, as it could immunize itself against any Debuff or even damage from the opponent’s Scene Card.
But in reality, there were few chances for it to trigger, especially after the new version of Scene Cards had made everyone’s clauses more flexible, so it became even harder to be countered by [Track Drive Wheel].
Its sole role was to continuously inflict [Dizziness].
The trouble was the 7 Point Energy cost.
Counting its own two-stage attack, it needed at least another 5 points of energy recovery per round in order to maintain the combo.
Every Round, the other cards in play had to carry out five attacks.
This number wasn’t particularly high or low.
In a 2V1 match, there were 9 first row cards alone.
So, the chances of getting to five were quite significant, and War Cards had unique advantages in this kind of game. freewebnøvel.coɱ
And just in case, they specifically paired the [Drilling Engineering Vehicle] with one more card.
The projection of this pairing card was a primitive man holding a fire starter drill.
[Fire King]
Berserk, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100
[Fire Survival - Passive]: In rounds where [Ignition] occurs, the Fire King gains 30 points of [Healing]
[Drill Expert - Passive]: When the Fire King attacks plant-based cards, its Attack Power increases by 10
[High Frequency Drilling - Passive]: The Fire King’s attacks are divided into three stages
[Fierce Drilling - 30 Health Points]: The Fire King targets one, attacking twice
This card was also a multi-stage card, dealing 10 points of damage per stage, and it had one more stage than [Drilling Engineering Vehicle].
Just [Fire King] plus [Drilling Engineering Vehicle] were able to deliver a total of five attacks on their own.
For the War Card [Drilling Engineering Vehicle], this meant 5 points of Energy.
With two more Scene Cards to make up the numbers, it was easy to reach 7 points of Energy, ensuring the [Drilling Engineering Vehicle]’s firm control could continue indefinitely.
If they encountered a special situation where the other cards could not make up the number of attacks,
then the [Fire-taker Master] could directly burn Health Points to use its Active Skill, delivering two attacks divided into six stages, still enabling the [Drilling Engineering Vehicle] to be fully charged.
Beside the combination of [Drilling Engineering Vehicle] and [Fire-taker Master], the other two pairs of combinations were much the same.
They didn’t consider other clauses and focused on just one thing.
Whether they could cooperate in charging energy, whether they could sustain hard control indefinitely.
That’s why I said the strategy chosen by the two peasant side card players this round was a bit extreme.
[Roar...]
When Ree Shil’s first row cards were Revealed Card, the two of them were dumbfounded.
Hunchback Woman: [Wow, Player Henry Thompson’s card is way over the top.]
Museum Director Phoenix: [He sacrificed a great deal of Attack Power to gain exceptional Survivability. It is very suitable as a first row card in such a card game.]
But apart from this kind of game, its chances of play are close to none.]
Hunchback Woman: [Now, this [Lost Demon Knight] can be said to completely counter the cards of the two players across from it.]
They came up with such an extreme first reveal, only to run into [Domineering Body].]
Where do they complain about this!]
Museum Director Phoenix: [Oh? Completely countered? I don’t think so.]
Hunchback Woman: [Eh? Three hard controls against [Domineering Body], isn’t that a complete counter?]
Museum Director Phoenix: [Not at all, you just look at the comparison of Attack Power on both sides.]
