Fang Yu's message startled Xie Mingzhe slightly, and he sat up suddenly from the bed.
Of course he did not forget this matter and always wrote it as the first item in his memo.
It has been more than a month since he met the great Fang Yu in the game. When he has free time, he would think about how to make a Deathrattle Card, but he has never come up with any good ideas.
When Fang Yu suddenly brought it up, Xie Mingzhe felt embarrassed and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately. I've always remembered this, but I just don't have a good idea."
Fang Yu said: "Yu Ke's joker card was also made by you, right?"
Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "How did you know that?"
"Do you still remember the player that Yu Ke met in the Imperial Capital University finals, Zhao Han?"
"Of course I remember."
He was there the whole day of the finals. Zhao Han was pretty good. He was a top player in the school, but he was a little bit inferior to Yu Ke. I remember Zhao Han used a water deck. He played a slow control flow in the first two games. In the match point game, he used the fastest map "Scorched Earth" and changed to a strong control wave deck...
Wait, water element? Could he be related to Liushuang City?
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe immediately asked, "Do you know Zhao Han?"
Fang Yu said, "He is one of the vice presidents of our Liushuang City Guild. After the game ended that day, he sent me the video. I watched the game between him and Yu Ke carefully and confirmed that Yu Ke's joker cards were all made by you. Moreover, everyone in the alliance group thinks so."
Xie Mingzhe is ashamed. He thought he had kept his identity well hidden, but it turns out that everyone already knew about it?
He asked in confusion: "Xiao Ke deliberately hid the card maker's logo when he played the game. How can you be sure that it was me who made it? Maybe Xiao Ke knows someone else who can make joker cards?"
Fang Yu said: "Your style is too distinctive."
Xie Mingzhe was a little confused: "Style? The style of the joker cards I drew is quite different from that of the character cards, right?"
Fang Yu said calmly, "I'm talking about the skill design. The style that deserves a beating is very obvious. Nie Shen said that it's very easy to judge whether the joker card was made by Fatty Uncle. If anyone wants to beat up the author after seeing the skill, then it must be Fatty Uncle."
Xie Mingzhe: “………………”
Nie Shen, should I thank you for your praise? Xie Mingzhe really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, what Nie Shen said made sense. Sometimes, when he saw these strange card designs, he wanted to beat himself up.
"I was busy with the team battle deck for Liushuang City some time ago, and didn't have time to customize the cards. I just happened to be free these two days, and you made a new batch of ghost cards, so I asked you if you have any ideas for making deathrattle cards."
Fang Yu paused, then said, "Everyone says that you will create your own Nirvana Club and play in the professional league yourself. If you feel that making a card for me conflicts with your club, you can cancel the agreement between us. I won't force you."
Xie Mingzhe said straightforwardly, "Don't worry, I will never go back on my promise. Besides, the custom cards we agreed upon at the time did not involve copyright issues, so there is no conflict. However, I currently have no idea of making a deathrattle card. It just so happens that I am free these two days, so I will think about it carefully and contact you as soon as I have an idea."
Fang Yu nodded: "Thank you in advance."
Xie Mingzhe said, "You're welcome. I'm sorry it took so long. I'll get back to you as soon as possible!"
After the conversation, Xie Mingzhe fell into deep thought again.
Fang Yu is a special player. He is the eldest disciple of Su Yang, the founder of the water system. He is the strongest senior brother among the four people in Liushuang City and has created a new deathrattle style of play. As the champion of the sixth season individual competition, his strength is undoubtedly top-notch, but his popularity is not as good as his second junior brother Qiao Xi. The key reason is that he is too arrogant.
It is said that he is the player that reporters least want to interview. He never attends fan meetings or autograph sessions, except for necessary competitions, where he will personally attend. He does not interact with other players in the circle, and rarely participates in various activities of the league. He just stays in Liushuang City and entertains himself. He can be said to be the ultimate otaku.
Xie Mingzhe had kept Fang Yu's request for custom-made cards in his memo. He opened it and saw that the first item was to trigger group control of the enemy after the card died, and the second item was to trigger group gain for his own side.
Such a Deathrattle card is undoubtedly a critical turning point in the game. When the opponent kills this Deathrattle card, not only will he be controlled by the crowd, but the opponent will also increase the group attack, and he may be killed in a wave.
Since Deathrattle Cards can only be effective when they die, the idea of making the card is completely different from other cards in terms of data. Other cards have to consider the ability to survive, and the longer they live, the more skills they can use. But Deathrattle Cards "actively seek death", so the basic defense and vitality of the card can be minimized, so that the opponent can kill it instantly as much as possible.
But your opponent is not stupid. He knows that this is a Deathrattle card of yours, which will trigger a very powerful skill effect only after death. If he encounters this card in a game, he will definitely "put it aside" and ignore you.
Then, it would be best to design a skill that allows one to actively absorb damage, to achieve the effect of "If my opponent is in a bad situation, I will go and commit suicide by hitting the opponent". Only such a deathrattle card can be effective in the arena.
How should he design it? Xie Mingzhe frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a good idea.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Mingzhe simply stopped thinking and went to sleep to rest his mind, planning to think again tomorrow when he woke up early and was in the best mental state.
That night, he had a dream. In the dream, all his cards were killed, each one died in a more tragic way than the last. The bloody scene was so chilling.
Maybe it was because I kept thinking about the Death Rattle Card before going to bed that I had such a strange dream.
When he woke up the next day, Xie Mingzhe rubbed his head with a headache - the scene in the dream was too realistic. All the cards were chanting curses before their tragic deaths, such as "I curse you to die a miserable death" and "I will not let you go even if I become a ghost". These classic lines from TV dramas actually came out. His dreams were really rich.
Wait, there are people who cast curses when they died...the most famous one is Dou E!
He clearly remembered that this was an article in a high school Chinese textbook, a rare script adapted from the Yuan Dynasty playwright Guan Hanqing's miscellaneous drama "The Injustice of Dou E" that moved heaven and earth.
This drama tells the story of Dou E and Granny Cai, who depend on each other for survival. As a result, they are favored by a local gangster named Zhang Lu'er, who wants Dou E to marry him, but Dou E firmly refuses. Zhang Lu'er is resentful and puts poison in Granny Cai's soup, hoping to poison the old lady and force Dou E to marry. Unexpectedly, Granny Cai did not drink the soup, but gave it to the gangster's father, who accidentally poisoned his father. Zhang Lu'er was extremely angry and framed Dou E for the murder and reported her to the Chuzhou government.
Dou E was helpless, and the prefect of Chuzhou was bribed by Zhang Lu'er, so she was sentenced to death. She was full of grievances and had no way to seek justice at the execution ground. She had to swear to the sky with tears in her eyes, "I, Dou E, am innocent. If God has eyes, after my head is chopped off, I will let my blood splash on the three-foot white silk, let heavy snow fall to cover my body, and let Chuzhou suffer a severe drought for three years from now on!"
After she was beheaded, all the vows she made came true.
The card Dou'e triggers a deathrattle effect after death. It's really a perfect card for the deathrattle type!
Xie Mingzhe's mind was clear. He had been thinking about it for a long time, but why didn't he think of Dou E? Now his thoughts were completely opened, and the custom card of Master Fang Yu finally had a destination!
After a quick breakfast in the living room, Xie Mingzhe quickly put on his helmet and entered the game.
He had probably pictured the character on this card in his mind: Dou E had suffered a lot since childhood. She was a very thin woman with delicate features, and she was kind and filial.
After being wrongfully imprisoned in a cell, she changed into a plain white prison uniform, with her hair all scattered behind her head. Her waist-length hair was slightly messy, with a lot of messy bangs hanging down to cover her forehead. She had no ornaments on her body.
Her body was tied up with ropes, her hands were also tied behind her, and behind her was a sign representing a death row prisoner, on which was written in brush calligraphy "Behead the criminal Dou E". The word "behead" was circled in red, indicating that she was about to be beheaded.
The character image is relatively easy to handle, and the next step is the most important thing - the design of skills.
The first skill is called "Beheading with Wrongful Injustice". It is a skill that actively draws hatred, forcing the opponent's attack to kill you instantly, thus triggering the next deathrattle skill.
As for the following skills, since Dou'e has three oaths, and a card usually has two or three independent skills, excluding the linked skills, Xie Mingzhe can only choose two oaths that are suitable for playing in the arena.
The first one is Snow in June, which means the sudden snowfall in the middle of summer means that even God cannot bear to see Dou E’s injustice. So the range snowfall can directly freeze the group of opponents, which is considered a strong control skill.
The second skill is Blood Splashing White Lian, which makes one's blood splash into the sky, triggering the rage of friendly forces within range, and greatly increasing the attack power of all teammates in a short period of time.
After thinking of all the settings, Xie Mingzhe immediately connected his mental power to start making this card.
With the infusion of spiritual power, a pitiful woman in white soon appeared on the nebula paper. This character card still retained the comic-like style that Xie Mingzhe used when he made the character card, and it was very sad and beautiful.
Dou'e (Water System)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 100, Attack 0, Defense 100, Agility 30, Crit 0%
Additional Skills: Unjust Beheading (Passive skill. Dou E was wrongly accused and sent to the execution ground for murder. When the death row prisoner Dou E appears, the attacks of enemy targets within a range of 23 meters will automatically be transferred to Dou E)
Additional Skill: Blood Splashes White Silk (One-time death skill. Dou E was filled with grievances and swore a poisonous oath when she was beheaded. After she was beheaded, not a single drop of the hot blood from her neck would fall on the dirty ground. All the blood would splash into the air, and friendly targets within 23 meters would be infected by the grief and anger, and the group's attack power would be increased by 100% for 3 seconds)
Additional Skills: Snow in June (One-time death skill. The second oath Dou E made when she was beheaded was that only heaven could know her injustice. Therefore, when she died, heavy snow fell from the sky, and all enemy targets within a range of 23 meters were affected by the goose-feather snow, and the group was frozen for 3 seconds)
Deathrattle cards are very rare in the database, so this card passed the review easily.
Xie Mingzhe looked at the skills on the card and was very satisfied.
Dou'e is strictly speaking a support card that adds buffs and crowd control, but the advantage of deathrattle cards is that it is very troublesome for the opponent to play cards and cast skills. Should I attack her? Once I accidentally kill her and trigger her deathrattle skills, a wave of strong control will hurt myself.
This card is very suitable for team battles, and can be used in conjunction with other water attack cards in Liushuang City to create a short-term burst effect.
Moreover, her first skill "Wrongful Beheading" can be used as a taunt skill. When the opponent wants to use the ultimate skill to kill a core card in one second, she summons Dou E and forces the opponent to attack herself, which is equivalent to canceling the opponent's ultimate skill. It can also trigger the deathrattle skill, allowing her teammates to burst out output in the next 3 seconds.
The success of this card made Xie Mingzhe ecstatic!
Not only did he complete the custom card assigned by Master Fang Yu, but it also opened up new ideas for him.
A blood-selling, sacrificial card!
If he adds some cards that trigger effects after losing health to his card pool, will it bother his opponents even more?
Now that he has made so many cards with annoying skills, he might as well continue to be annoying, so as to live up to the high praise given to him by Nie Shen: after seeing the skills, he wanted to beat the author up.
Xie Mingzhe feels that in a society ruled by law, his personal safety can still be guaranteed, and the great gods will only want to beat him in their hearts but will not actually do it - anyway, his hatred value is already high enough, he doesn't mind increasing it a little more!
