Chapter 50 Card Matching Ideas
After walking out of the principal's office, Yu Cang casually activated the entry recorder on the Death Dragon Skeleton.
I looked at the time and it would take six hours. It seemed that the extracted entry would be an epic one.
Sure, the extraction will probably be finished by mid-afternoon, and then he’ll see what it is. If it’s an entry that can be a core item, maybe he can immediately put together a deck for the Dragon Skeleton.
On the way back to the card making house, Yu Cang was still thinking about what kind of card deck to match with the Death Dragon Skeleton.
In terms of ability, this soul card is very strong, but its weaknesses are also obvious.
As long as it is activated, all the soul cards in the deck will lose their death cooldown directly. This does not mean that the summoned beasts will be invincible, but that they can return to the deck immediately after death and can be activated again at any time.
It's a bit like unlimited firepower, but the soul energy is not infinite.
Obviously, this is a card that is not very powerful when used alone, but it will be very strong when placed in the corresponding deck.
Without considering the relationship between the abilities, Yu Cang could think of several directions if he just forced a match.
First, you should definitely choose summon cards that cost little soul energy and have a link summon ability. These summons are generally weaker and easier to deal with. In other decks, they often run out of cards to play due to their slow card draw and inability to recover from their death cooldown.
But when combined with the Death Dragon Skeleton, it can launch a perfect quick attack.
However, there is a shortcoming of the Death Dragon Skeleton that cannot be ignored, that is, it first consumes a wave of soul energy when it is activated. In order to make the death cooldown of the Death Dragon Skeleton as long as possible, this wave of soul energy cannot be less.
The key point is that once the Death Dragon Skeleton is activated, the enemy will die immediately and will not be of any use on the current battlefield. Although this is paving the way for the subsequent offensive, it is actually equivalent to wasting a large amount of soul energy in a short period of time. This wave of soul energy is enough to determine the winner in a duel between soul card masters.
In this case, you need to first lay out the field to stabilize the situation, and then activate the Dragon Skeleton to lock in victory. However, the soul cards with low soul energy consumption mentioned above are often unable to withstand the opponent's offensive when the soul energy is insufficient.
Therefore, the second idea of card matching is to choose some big monsters that can hold their own.
For card makers, creating a Soul Card is essentially a process of trade-offs. Choosing certain abilities on a Soul Card means giving up others. If a summoned beast is incredibly strong in one area, then its weaknesses will also be obvious in another, and vice versa.
Now that he has the Death-Suppressing Dragon Skeleton, Yu Cang can create some summoned beasts with extremely long death cooldowns, sacrificing their death cooldowns in exchange for stronger panels and abilities.
Anyway, death cooling is meaningless in front of the Death Dragon Skeleton.
But in this case, soul energy consumption becomes a huge problem.
Another way to match cards is to use spell cards directly!
If there is no death cooldown, you can throw spell cards infinitely to suppress firepower.
This is somewhat similar to Qiu Ding's Earth Scorching Lord set, where once the furnace is hung, it bombards everything. However, there is a difference, and that is the soul energy recovery mechanism of the two.
The Flame-Eating Furnace returns soul energy based on the strength of the summoned beasts killed. When Qiu Ding killed a Fluorescent Unconfused Tree, the soul energy returned allowed him to immediately summon a Scorching Earth Seeker, but killing a Yingcao Archer didn't even yield a single soul energy.
This system, once encountering a deck that excels at defense, will easily run out of soul energy and fall into a passive state. However, the Death Dragon Skeleton is different, the Dragon Tears it provides are "random".
Although it sounds like randomness is even less reliable, in fact, the upper limit is also higher.
Although it is random, after calculation, we can definitely get an average value of soul energy recovery. As long as Yu Cang chooses some spell cards with soul energy consumption lower than this average, and then adds the natural output of the soul energy well, it will be easy to release spells infinitely!
The disadvantage is that there are very few low-cost spell cards, and they are not very strong, so they can be easily defeated by force.
"So, when building a deck, we have to combine these three ideas..." Yu Cang fell into thought.
Following this line of thought, the existing soul cards might not be able to satisfy Cang, so he would have to create his own.
Fortunately, there is no need to rush. After all, the Death Dragon Skeleton is an epic card. Even if the soul energy invested can be adjusted by myself, it is not something I can afford at my current level three.
"I'm only level three now... huh?" Yu Cang was suddenly stunned. He quickly closed his eyes, felt it carefully, then opened his eyes with a confused look on his face.
"When did I become level 4?"
Yu Cang scratched his head.
It seems that I was so engrossed in the experiments these days that I didn't even notice that I accidentally upgraded.
"...That's a good thing, it saves me a lot of meditation."
Soul Card Masters need to meditate, using their mental energy to continuously develop their Soul Energy Wells in order to level up. However, the resonance process for Card Creators also has a similar effect to meditation, albeit much slower. Therefore, it's quite normal for Card Creators to inexplicably level up in their labs.
When he returned to the card-making house, it was already noon. Yu Cang simply ordered some noodles to fill his stomach.
At this time, a message came from the personal terminal.
-
Boss, we have arrived at the Falling Dragon Peak and the training is over!
Yu Cang smiled knowingly and picked up the terminal.
-
So soon? Didn't they say it would take seven days to train?
Since I'm just bringing in new people, I won't be so strict. I'll definitely give everyone a few days to have fun.
-
Really? That's good.
-
That's good, but I'm suffering now.
-
What's wrong? -
You don't know, before the Falling Dragon Peak, we encountered a huge Ice Phosphorus Earth Dragon. When we fought, there was a little accident.
Yu Cang frowned slightly.
-
What? Are you hurt?
-
No...but my coat is torn and I forgot to bring a spare one, so now I'm super cold...The thought of having to endure the cold for two more days makes me feel desperate.
Yu Cang was stunned.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he and Gu Jieshuang had talked a lot in the past few days. Originally, he had just used chatting as a way to relax because he was under a lot of pressure in the past few days, and Gu Jieshuang had been looking for him all the time.
But now, it seems that opening the chat interface as soon as you have free time has become a habit.
Looking at Gu Jieshuang's last message on the interface, Yu Cang was silent.
It seems... it's been a long time since we last met.
-
boss?
Gu Jieshuang sent a message, seemingly wondering why Yu Cang suddenly disappeared.
Yu Cang smiled.
-
If you're going to be cold, can't you come back early?
-
But I want to play here...
-
Wait, I'll bring you one.
-
Great! The boss is the best! When the boss comes, I will definitely take him to visit Zulong Snow Mountain!
…
Zulong Snow Mountain
Xueman looked at Gu Jieshuang, who suddenly burst out with a cold air and shook her coat into strips, with a confused expression.
"Senior, what are you doing..."
Gu Jieshuang put away his personal terminal, expressionless: "My clothes were damaged in the battle just now."
"But, I clearly saw that it was Senior just now..."
"Hmm?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes fell on Xueman.
"Yes, yes, it's fighting! It's all fighting's fault!"
