[Mechanical Valley Witch]
Listening to the Wind, Attack 30, 5000/5000, 0/6
[Wind Listening Stone - Passive]: Whenever a card leaves the field, the Mechanical Valley Witch recovers 1 Energy point.
[Breakthrough Staff - Passive]: When the Mechanical Valley Witch attacks, recover 1 Energy point.
[Witchcraft Jump - Passive]: When the Mechanical Valley Witch releases a skill, it is released one extra time.
[Traditional Spell - 4 Energy Points]: The Mechanical Valley Witch targets an opponent’s card, making it fall into the [Small Animal] effect.
([Small Animal]: Lower the target’s attack by 30 points and maximum Health Points by 50 points.)
"This one seems rather sharp." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Its [Small Animal] effect is unique, and it doesn’t even wear off when taking damage."
"And it affects two enemies at once."
"If I kill the little monster cards, it recovers Energy."
"But if I don’t kill the little monster cards, I’ll be hit by their focusing fire."
After browsing the card faces, Ree Shil had already figured out the strategy for this elite monster card game.
For high-attack cards like [Mechanical Valley Lizard], he must first take it down.
And each of the other little monster cards has its own threats, making them impossible to ignore.
As he eliminates those little monsters, the [Mechanical Valley Witch] can take advantage of this to turn all his cards into various small animals.
The negative effects of its [Small Animal] are too significant, heavily affecting the strength of his card deck.
Moreover, under such circumstances, he also has to face the restriction of [Intoxicating Sunlight].
"It seems... there’s only one way."
As Ree Shil watches his own card deck suffer while on autopilot, he rests his chin on his hand. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Buzz...
Shortly after, he returns to the Pure White Space.
His card deck was defeated, a crushing loss.
"To counter this elite monster’s [Small Animal], there’s only one answer."
"That is [Purification]."
"But I don’t have any [Purification] cards, so..."
With that thought, he lets out a wry smile.
Only when he stumbled his way to Level 5 did he realize that probably the only solution, if not the optimal one, was still [Power of Listening to the Wind].
Only the [Calm Heart Principle] with 15 Wind Inscriptions, carrying a round-by-round [Purification], can resist the [Mechanical Valley Witch].
"It seems that if you come to this level without enough initial funds, you might not be able to beat it."
"Because you must gather 15 Wind Inscriptions before Level 5, which is impossible without buying some in the shop."
"But the good news is, among the little monsters it carries, only [Mechanical Valley Lizard] is a high-attack card."
"As long as I limit it from using skills throughout the game, the risk will be greatly reduced."
Thinking this, Ree Shil felt more confident.
He sat down directly on the ground and opened the shop list.
He started designing a card deck to counter the [Mechanical Valley Witch].
The first thing to confirm was survival.
Having decided to use [Power of Listening to the Wind], he must make good use of it.
Since [Weapon Master] took up too many points and affected the 10 Wind Inscription returns, he eliminated it from the card deck.
There’s only one [Mechanical Valley Lizard] on the opponent’s side, and from his observation just now, the little monsters’ attacks are evenly spread. So, there’s no need to worry about all the cards being focused on at once.
So, by dealing with [Mechanical Valley Lizard], most of his survival pressure is relieved.
Paired with the [Calm Heart Principle], the [Mechanical Valley Witch] will become useless against him.
Thus, Ree Shil chose the following first-row cards:
[Snow Post Sentinel] [Blind Swordsmen] [Flying Sword Immortal]
Of course, there’s no need to say more about the [Blind Swordsman], having a standstill damage reduction, which is suitable for this level as an outer card.
As for the choice of [Snow Post Sentinel], it is the same.
[Snow Post Sentinel]
Listening to the Wind, 30 points, B
Attack 0, 150/150, 0/4
[Hold Fast - Passive]: Snow Post Sentinel’s attack power -30, Health Points +50
[Stand Like a Pine - Passive]: When Snow Post Sentinel is motionless, incoming attack damage is reduced by 10.
[Position Handover -1 Energy Point]: During the replacement phase, Snow Post Sentinel can replace the current card, inheriting the Health and Energy points of the Snow Post Sentinel.
(Correction: Before card replacement changes, the [Snow Post Sentinel] could only replace one of the three substitute cards in the same card grid. After the card grid group mechanism is canceled, the [Snow Post Sentinel] can now replace any card in the entire substitute card deck.)
(Note: [Snow Post Sentinel] only occupies 1 grid and is a reveal card. It cannot be replaced by a Giant Card.)
The reason for choosing [Flying Sword Immortal] is that [Intoxicating Sunlight] only prohibits [Attack] and [Defense], not [Movement].
This card deals "damage" rather than "attacks" after [Movement], so it can deal damage.
It can also provide its own [barrier], making it a strong card.
Of course, this alone wouldn’t be enough since it doesn’t have an empty grid to displace initially.
So Ree Shil chose an additional spell card from Panda’s Wind Listening spell card.
[No Phase]: Choose one of your own Wind Listening cards to obtain a full duplicate card and have an additional card grid.
This extra card grid will be on the first row, and it will form the following layout:
[Snow Post Sentinel] [Blind Swordsman] [Flying Sword Immortal] [Flying Sword Immortal]
If the second one on the right [Flying Sword Immortal] or [Blind Swordsman] gets killed, the still alive [Flying Sword Immortal] can move into the position and continue to protect the rear cards.
If the first-row cards are safe, this extra [Flying Sword Immortal] can displace to the front of [Blind Swordsman] after the opponent’s card position is emptied, replacing it and allowing it to release [Quantum Entanglement] for damage output.
