Free Web NovelChapter 989: Chapter 358 The Dragon Card Deck Takes Shape_2
But with Coating, many unpleasant situations can be prevented.
Then the next line card includes [Beginning Stick] [Tricky Hand Snake].
These two cards finally allow for the full release of DPS.
[Beginning Stick] contributes 40 points of DPS each round, and [Tricky Hand Snake], including [Poisoned], also provides 30 points.
Pair them with any 30-point card, and you already have 100 points of DPS.
So, don’t be frightened by the [Beast Master Red Dragon]’s 100 points of DPS; it is really just about equivalent to 3 cards.
As for the rest of the cards, there are a few scattered cards plus [Steal Loss] + [Kung Fu Sheep God].
Whoosh! x18
Eighteen paths of blue light fell on the opposite card grid.
[Hum ha-ha!] x18
The uniform chanting made these eighteen bronze men seem especially particular.
"No, I mean..."
However, once he saw their card faces, Ree Shil was completely speechless.
The opposing Copper Man Arhats were divided into three types, each row had one type.
[Gesturing Bronze Man]
Armor Break, Attack 0, 500/500, 0/3
[Bronze Self-esteem - Passive]: Gesturing Bronze Man cannot [Defend].
[Left Gesture - Passive]: When Gesturing Bronze Man attacks a card on the left side, it gains 10 points of [Encourage] for 1 round.
[Right Gesture - Passive]: When Gesturing Bronze Man attacks a card on the right side, it gains 10 points of [Encourage] for 1 round.
[Blocking Bronze Man]
Armor Break, Attack 0, 500/500, 0/3
[Bronze Self-esteem - Passive]: Blocking Bronze Man cannot [Defend].
[Left Block - Passive]: When Blocking Bronze Man is attacked by a card from the left column, it is considered [True Damage].
[Right Block - Passive]: When Blocking Bronze Man is attacked by a card from the right column, it is considered [True Damage].
After seeing these two types of cards, he wanted to say that the cards in this fourth stage were just a pure spoof.
These were not merely negative cards, but completely traitorous cards.
Moreover, apart from having a relatively large Health pool among the small monsters, their Attack Power was zero.
No threat at all!
But when he saw the third row of cards, he suddenly realized.
[Bench Bronze Man]
Armor Break, Attack 30, 200/200, 0/5
[King of Weapons - Passive]: Bench Bronze Man gains +10 Attack Power when attacking weapon cards.
[No Hard Not to Destroy - Passive]: When Bench Bronze Man attacks, it applies 5 points of [Armor Break] to the target for 1 round.
[Continuous Strike - Passive]: Bench Bronze Man’s [Armor Break] can stack.
[People’s Will be the City - 5 points Energy]: Bench Bronze Man attacks the target together with the other Bench Bronze Men on the field.
The tactical system of the opposing small monsters then became apparent.
The first two rows of cards were purely for soaking up damage, while the output was all done by the [Bench Bronze Men] at the back.
These [Bench Bronze Men] were powerful.
They were DPS cards in every sense of the word.
The power lies in two places.
First, their [Armor Break] could stack.
[Bench Bronze Men] stacking [Armor Break] could achieve an additional 30 points of [Armor Break] damage.
If they activated their skill together, it would be even more terrifying.
[Bench Bronze Man] could directly stack 6 layers for 30 points of [Armor Break].
Then 6 of them, just stacking [Armor Break] could reach an additional 180 points of damage!
This meant that anyone attacking a target at that moment could receive a massive amount of damage, base Attack Power plus 180 points.
On paper, it looked invincible.
Of course, this was only the data calculated under absolutely ideal conditions.
Fortunately, there are two traits of [Armor Break] that affected the performance of these [Bench Bronze Men], or rather, prevented them from reaching their theoretical form.
The first trait is one shared by all negative effects.
That is, negative effects are applied at T2 priority, but only take effect after T2 ends completely.
The second trait is unique to [Armor Break].
That is, regardless of how high the [Armor Break] value is, the ally card that first enjoys [Armor Break] must have Attack Power.
points of Attack Power cannot trigger the [Armor Break] effect.
Combining these two points, a situation arises.
[Bench Bronze Men] must not be able to apply [Armor Break] and also benefit from [Armor Break] in the same round.
Add to that, both [Gesturing Bronze Man] and [Blocking Bronze Man] can’t trigger [Armor Break].
Then the opposition must allocate some [Bench Bronze Men] to apply [Armor Break] at T2, and some [Bench Bronze Men] to deal DPS and trigger [Armor Break] at T4.
This way, they can’t reach the theoretical maximum value of [Armor Break].
"And it just so happens that my [Beast Master Red Dragon] has Coating, which completely counters [Armor Break].
"They’re all useless now."
What to do next was very simple for Ree Shil.
The other party could only use normal attacks before the arrival of the 6th round.
The Beast Master Red Dragon could absorb a total of 620 points of damage under [Defense].
Yes, [Beginning Stick] could provide it with 1 layer of Dragon card effect.
The other party’s six cards with 30 Attack, dealing 180 points of DPS per round.
They would need 4 rounds to take down the Beast Master Red Dragon.
And in 4 rounds’ time, Ree Shil’s card deck would be enough to eliminate at least 5 of the other side’s cards, including a whole column.
That would be sufficient.
With the remaining time, his card deck could achieve a total annihilation of the other side.
Don’t forget, breaking force heroes and those inscriptions are not just for show.
So, without a doubt, this wave of Bronze Men couldn’t stop him.
An hour later, Ree Shil was already standing in front of the Teleportation Portal.
[Ding Dong!]
[Cleared Fourth Pass, please select one of the following rewards:]
[1, Select 1 card from this level’s cards, with a C strength]
[2, Select 1 card from Unknown Cards, with a D~C strength]
"Let’s pick 1 and take a look."
He tapped the Panel.
As a result, a total of 12 face-up cards were displayed in front of him.
Naturally, the results were disappointing.
Especially cards like Gesturing Bronze Man and Blocking Bronze Man, they nearly copied the card face verbatim.
And the only somewhat promising Bench Bronze Man, was not much better even after being revised.
Bench Bronze Man freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Breaking Force, 30 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/2
[King of weapons - Passive]: Bench Bronze Man gains +10 Attack Power when attacking Weapons cards
[No Hard Not to Destroy - 2 points of energy]: When Bench Bronze Man attacks a target, it gives them 10 points of [Armor Break] for 1 round
Before, the stackable [Armor Break] effect was gone, leaving only one special attack term and one [Armor Break] term.
Moreover, the previous [Armor Break], which was clearly passive, had been revised to an active skill requiring energy.
"But a standard [Armor Break] is usually 5 points, and it having 10 points is rather unusual and not bad.
Since the other revealed cards are no good either, I’ll reluctantly choose this one."
For the remaining 3 chances, Ree Shil chose the random card pool every time.
Thus, he climbed up the mountain, and at Level 5, he encountered an Elite Monster.
Unlike the Bronze Men before, this Elite Monster turned out to be Silver Arhats.
It was just a pity, the card face wasn’t very promising.
A fairly standard B-level breaking force DPS card.
After completing Level 5, he found that all the little monsters in the following levels had become Silver Men.
"Then it seems that The Final Boss of this stage is undoubtedly Golden Arhats."
Standing in front of two Teleportation Portals leading to the eighth level, Ree Shil stroked his chin.
"I just cleared the third major level in one go, so now I have plenty of opportunities.
I am not afraid of making mistakes.
In that case, let’s go through an Event level.
Let’s see if I can get some Spell Cards to expand the shop.
Or maybe get a Spell Card that’s just right for the Boss, and clear the level in one shot."
With that, he stepped into the blue Teleportation Portal.
"Eh?"
As soon as he walked in, Ree Shil saw a round golden bald head.
Different from his expectation, Golden Arhats appeared already at the eighth level?
However, this Golden Man differed from the previous Bronze and Silver Men; the Bronze and Silver were modeled after adult men.
Whereas this Golden Man, though dressed the same, was a child.
At this time, the little Golden Man was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, chanting, sensing the arrival of a visitor, he then opened his eyes and stood up.
The standing little Golden Man was even shorter than Ree Shil’s chest.
In Ree Shil’s eyes, he was just a somewhat cute little Monk.
However, a few seconds after their eyes met, the other party spoke first.
"Benefactor, may this humble monk throw a punch.
Amitabha."
