Xie Mingzhe had promised to make a complete set of joker cards for Yu Ke a long time ago, but in the first half of the regular season, everyone was busy adjusting the team battle lineup, and Xie Mingzhe focused his main energy on perfecting the character cards of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so Yu Ke was unable to take care of it for a while.
After the meeting, Xie Mingzhe returned to the training room and sorted out the existing joker cards with Yu Ke.
Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Cards are group attack cards with linked skills; Black Impermanence is a high-explosive normal attack card, and its setting of obtaining the Yin-Yang mark after killing the enemy gives it extremely strong late-stage harvesting ability; White Impermanence is an auxiliary card that delays damage calculation and provides gain buffs, and must appear with Black Impermanence to deal high damage through linkage.
In addition, Meng Po's Forget skill is a versatile strong control card that can be used against the enemy's Key card. When Nie Xiaoqian activates the "A Chinese Ghost Story" skill, she has the ability to teleport multiple times, making her a highly flexible single assassin card.
Of the remaining four judges, Judge Cui is a single-target output card with high damage; Zhong Kui is an instant death judgment card, and Lu's Dao restrains Zhong Kui's ghost catching; Wei Zheng's reward setting and Du Liniang's treatment can be used in combination, but in the previous team competitions, Xiao Ke was mainly responsible for assassinating the opponent's key cards, so auxiliary cards such as Wei Zheng and Du Liniang have been kept on ice in the regular season.
The ghost cards that Yu Ke often uses include Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, Meng Po, Judge Cui and Nie Xiaoqian.
When this lineup is first used, it is easy to use Hei Wuchang to harvest and win the game in the late stage. Once it is available more times, other big players in the professional league are not stupid. When they see Xiao Ke's Hei Wuchang appear, they will definitely find ways to target him.
Either prevent Hei Wuchang from stacking Yin and Yang marks, or predict the time when he will release the marks and activate invincibility in advance to block the damage, or prepare group healing skills in advance to restore health, so that Hei Wuchang will not be able to clear the field at all.
Theoretically, Black Impermanence is a late-game card that gets stronger the more you play it. However, compared to Gui Sirui's Ghoul, Pei Jingshan's Spider Queen, and Ling Jingtang's Bloodthirsty Dagger, it has too many unstable factors - the stacking of marks requires prerequisites, which is difficult to achieve in a chaotic team game. Black Impermanence is indeed a strong card, but it requires the full cooperation of teammates. With only this one strong card, it is easy to be targeted, and the card pool definitely needs to continue to expand.
Xie Mingzhe first carefully studied Gui Sirui's joker deck.
Gui Sirui is a very thoughtful player. The skill combination of the joker deck is very reasonable. It has all kinds of joker cards for group attack, control, negative status, and single attack. He can come up with different plans according to different opponents. With the late-stage clearing card "Ghoul", Gui Sirui's one-on-one ability is definitely one of the best.
Flexible multiple displacements and elusive back-stabbing are the advantages of the Joker, and of course they should be maintained. Yu Ke also likes assassinations, so when designing the Joker next, Xie Mingzhe wanted to give Xiao Ke some more output cards that are more flexible in control.
Of course, while considering Xiao Ke's personal deck, we also need to combine Nirvana's existing deck to make some auxiliary and functional jokers for use in future team battles.
Most of the materials for the ghost cards that Xie Mingzhe made before were taken from folk legends and the novel "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
As a novel fan, he read a lot of novels in his spare time during middle school. Although he did not read "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" repeatedly, he was still deeply impressed by several famous female ghost stories in it.
In addition, after reading "Liao Zhai" at the beginning, he also searched a lot of information about the underworld. The female ghosts in "Liao Zhai" can be regarded as folk ghosts, while the ghosts in the underworld are the "civil servants" of the ghost world - such as the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, the Four Judges and Meng Po. He has completed the card design for all of them, but has not had time to produce higher-level ghost officials such as the King of Fengdu, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Ten Kings of Hell.
If you count carefully, he still has a lot of materials to make joker cards for Xiao Ke!
This made Xie Mingzhe feel a little relieved.
Don't worry about not having any cards to make, the key is how to design reasonable and useful skills.
He carefully sorted out all the materials that could be used to make joker cards in his mind, made a table on the computer, picked out a few joker cards that could be used as output cards, referred to the designs of output cards of other clubs, and then wrote down some ideas on the draft.
After so many card creations, Xie Mingzhe gradually understood the review rules of the database. He found that as long as the skills of the output cards were added with some of his own creativity, the official would generally approve them. Otherwise, if the first player designed a normal attack card, others would not be able to make normal attack cards, which completely violated the original intention of the official "encouraging originality and enriching the card pool".
The official will not allow a certain designer to monopolize the design of a certain type of card. As long as the skill mechanism is not directly copied from others, but has its own creativity, it can pass the review smoothly.
Cards that rely on skills to output high damage, and can be used in conjunction with teammates to create an instant, super-powerful burst.
The advantage of cards that rely on normal attacks is that they have strong endurance. As long as they don't die, they can continue to output. Even if the output is low in the short term, the accumulated output over a long period of time can be very terrifying.
Xie Mingzhe planned to make some skill cards for Xiao Ke, and then make a normal attack card to use in combination.
When it came to skill cards, he first thought of a famous female ghost in Liao Zhai - Gongsun Jiuniang.
Gongsun Jiuniang's story is very special. She was originally a lady from a wealthy family, very knowledgeable and talented in writing. However, because her family was implicated in an unjust case, she was buried in the wilderness and became a lonely ghost.
Later, a man named Lai Yangsheng went to matchmake for his niece and accidentally met Gongsun Jiuniang. He fell in love with her at first sight, and the man and the ghost got married under the matchmaking of his niece. Lai Yangsheng treated her very well and did not mind that she was a female ghost. He met her every night and they lived a loving life.
But the human world is not a place for female ghosts to live forever. Gongsun Jiuniang is worried that her husband will be affected by her ghost spirit. In order for this human-ghost relationship to last long, she hopes that her husband will find her body and bury it in the ancestral tomb so that her wandering soul can have a place to rest.
Before she died, she left her husband a pair of socks and asked him to find her body, to which Lai Yangsheng agreed.
Unfortunately, due to the long time and the fact that too many people had died unjustly in the past few years, there were wastelands everywhere, so he was unable to find his wife's body. It was not until six months later that Lai Yangsheng revisited the place and saw a ghost that looked very much like his wife in the wilderness. He hurried forward to chase her, but the ghost disappeared into thin air, and the stockings left for him were also shattered by the wind, leaving only the eerie ghost fire around him.
From then on, the loving couple parted ways in life and death and never met again.
This story doesn't have too many twists and turns, but Xie Mingzhe felt a little melancholy after watching it, so it left a deep impression on him.
The man Gongsun Jiuniang met was a good man. He was willing to marry her, a ghost girl, regardless of worldly prejudices. He treated her very well after marriage. She was one of the few ghost girls who married humans. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the love between a human and a ghost could not last long.
In terms of skill design, Xie Mingzhe decided to give her a big move called "Ghost Marriage", which can change the surrounding environment, and add a group attack to control the ghost fire. In this way, Gongsun Jiuniang will be of great use whether it is a small-scale competition or a large group battle in the later stage.
Gongsun Jiuniang (Earth)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 500, Attack 1500, Defense 500, Agility 30, Crit 30%
Additional Skill: Ghost Marriage (Gongsun Jiuniang is a female ghost who fell in love with a human man and decided to marry him. The marriage between a person and a ghost cannot be blessed by the world, so they must hold the wedding in the dark of the night. When Gongsun Jiuniang activates the Ghost Marriage skill, a designated area of 23×23 meters will be completely shrouded in darkness, making it easier for humans and ghosts to get married. The wedding needs to be kept secret, and the area shrouded in darkness is isolated from the outside, prohibiting enemy cards from entering for 10 seconds; limited skill, can only be used once per game)
Additional Skills: Will-O-Wan (Gongsun Jiuniang can control will-o'-the-wisp. When the skill is activated, she can instantly summon 9 will-o'-the-wisp. Each will-o'-the-wisp deals 30% earth critical damage to enemy targets within the specified range. If more than three will-o'-the-wisp attacks the same target, an additional 10% earth critical damage will be dealt and a 1-second fear negative effect will be attached. This damage can be stacked; cooldown time is 30 seconds)
In order to facilitate the system to generate the "wisp" special effects, Xie Mingzhe also paid great attention when drawing the card images.
Gongsun Jiuniang was a lady from a prominent family. The fact that she made the human man Lai Yangsheng fall in love with her at first sight showed that she was very beautiful.
Xie Mingzhe painted her as a bright beauty, with skin that was the pale color unique to female ghosts, and lips that were more rosy.
Since she is getting married, she will naturally be dressed in an ancient red wedding dress and wear a bride's phoenix crown on her head. Nine eerie blue will-o'-the-wisp are painted around her. When the second skill is activated, the will-o'-the-wisp can be used to perform spell attacks.
This card was tailor-made for Yu Ke.
The control range of a full-level card is 30×30 meters. The large-scale dark shroud is equivalent to encircling a piece of ghost marriage territory, preventing enemy cards from entering, and also allowing the opponent's cards that are encircled in the range to completely lose the support of teammates.
This is equivalent to a battlefield isolation skill, which makes it convenient for Yu Ke to control other jokers to enter the field for assassination, and the opponent will be unable to defend against it.
Gongsun Jiuniang is also very flexible in operation. Since she only has two skills, her basic attack can be stacked very high. How to fight the 9 will-o'-the-wisp depends entirely on Yu Ke's on-the-spot performance.
This card is equivalent to a long-range mage who stands still to output damage. 9 will-o'-the-wisp concentrates on hitting one card, with high damage accumulation and critical hit bonus, which can kill the opponent's key card instantly; if they are separated to chase the residual blood card, they can get a double kill or a triple kill. When necessary, 9 will-o'-the-wisp can also attack the field in groups to create opportunities for teammates.
This card is flexible to operate, but also very difficult to operate. If you want to use it well, you will definitely need a lot of practice.
Yu Ke must be very clear about the damage data when 3, 6, or 9 will-o'-the-wisp attack in a concentrated or dispersed manner, otherwise the damage may overflow, or the opponent may not be killed because of a little less damage.
This is what Yu Ke needs to worry about.
Xie Mingzhe was only responsible for the design. He believed that with Xiao Ke's intelligence, he would definitely be able to master the new joker before the game started.
