The audience was particularly curious about what hidden cards Hsieh Ming-che would bring. Was he really going to use 10 jokers today?
Many people in the live broadcast room speculated: "According to Xie Mingzhe's habit, the hidden cards usually appear at the critical moment in the later stage, let's wait and see!" "I think Azhe is likely to really put together a pure joker lineup. He must have made a lot of new joker cards during this period!" "Wei Zheng and Du Liniang have never appeared before. Will the two hidden cards also be new cards?"
Just when everyone was confused, the countdown ended and the competition officially began.
Starry Sky first summoned Libra and Pisces as two auxiliary cards. Auxiliary cards have high HP and are not easy to die. They also have protective skills, so there is nothing wrong with summoning them first. In the Blood Pool Hell scene, you will lose HP as long as you summon the cards, so it is a very sensible decision to only summon two cards at the beginning.
However, Xie Mingzhe unexpectedly summoned a large number of cards——
At the beginning of the game, 6 cards are summoned directly, including the hidden card Five Ghost Emperors!
It was the first time for Xie Mingzhe to summon a hidden card in the first place. The surprise came too quickly and everyone was a little slow to react.
The audience was surprised to find that after the Five Ghost Emperors card appeared, it quickly split into five ghost images, occupying the east, south, west, north and center of the arena respectively, and opened the gates of hell at the five locations, with straight lines connecting any two of them.
A series of strange blue lines appeared on the field. From a bird's eye view, it could be seen that this was a "cross" line, with the four vertices connected to form a diamond shape.
The audience was confused: "What is this?" "Is it a formation on the field?" "The special effects of the connection are pretty nice, what does it do?"
The three commentators looked at each other in bewilderment.
What are all these lines for? It's like a geometry problem. Do cards lose health when they come into contact with a line? Do the lines forcibly divide the battlefield into several areas? Or do they cause negative effects when they come into contact with a line?
Everyone looked at this bizarre scene with curiosity, and many viewers complained: "High school geometry, please calculate the area of this rhombus!" "Azhe must be good at math, right? It really reminds me of geometric figures!"
Until Yu Ke made Gongsun Jiuniang stand on the dark blue line and move from the south to the southeast at an extremely fast speed - the speed was so fast that it was dazzling, comparable to Shanlan's flying bird cards.
Su Yang finally understood and immediately explained: "It turns out to be an acceleration channel!"
Wu Yue was shocked: "Did the Five Ghost Emperors open a highway for all the ghost cards?"
Liu Chen also quickly flipped through the battle record, and after scanning the skill description of the Five Ghost Emperors, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's not just a highway, it's also a well-connected ghost world overpass! The speed of all ghost cards standing on the passage is group-added. No wonder Xie Mingzhe wants to use a full ghost lineup, he wants to use the whole group to speed up to fight Bai Xu's teleportation flow!"
Bai Xu's face was filled with confusion at this moment. Looking at so many dark blue passages appearing in the east, south, west, and center, he had the illusion that he had come to an amusement park in the ghost world. He didn't know what Xie Mingzhe was playing.
But Yi Tianyang reacted very quickly. The moment he saw Gongsun Jiuniang quickly coming to the southeast through the expressway, he immediately summoned a hidden card -
Helix Nebula!
This is the card that Bai Xu made recently. It is a spiral-shaped dark purple nebula. When it appears, it is like digging a bottomless purple vortex in the air. The function of this card is to force the absorption of all damage and control skills within the range.
Yi Tianyang reacted extremely quickly at the critical moment, and his predictive awareness was also particularly strong. As soon as Gongsun Jiuniang moved, he knew that the opponent was going to focus on killing Libra, because Libra's skill "Balance" could evenly distribute the damage to the entire group for a long time. As long as Libra did not die, the other star cards would not die.
Sure enough, Gongsun Jiuniang's nine will-o'-the-wisp fires all smashed towards Libra and were perfectly absorbed by Yi Tianyang's spiral nebula. The audience only saw the nine will-o'-the-wisp fires forcibly changing their paths in the air and all smashing into the bottomless nebula vortex.
All this happened in just 3 seconds, and many people didn't have time to see it clearly.
Su Yang had a sharp eye and naturally analyzed everything very thoroughly: "Yu Ke wanted to speed up the killing of Libra, and Yi Tianyang reacted very quickly and used the Spiral Nebula to absorb a wave of damage. Moreover, the absorption of the Vortex Nebula is regional damage and controlled absorption, which means that as long as he summons the card near the Vortex Nebula, with the protection of the vortex, other cards will hardly be affected!"
Yi Tianyang's quick reaction impressed Xie Mingzhe. He was indeed a first-class assistant. He instantly realized the opponent's intention and provided the most timely protection. Gongsun Jiuniang's ultimate move was almost wasted, and the damage skills of other cards also found it difficult to attack the opponent because of the existence of this absorbing nebula card.
This card is more powerful than the Taunt card. The absorption of the Taunt card is only a one-time absorption, but as long as the Spiral Nebula exists, the damage in this area will continue to be absorbed by it. Unless the absorbed damage is enough to kill it and make it disappear, its teammates will be attacked.
The Spiral Nebula card is also well designed, with both health and defense stacked to 200,000, but only one skill, "Spiral Vortex", is designed. If you want to kill it, you need an output of more than 200,000, which is a waste of time.
Xie Mingzhe summoned Meng Po without hesitation - Meng Po soup, forgotten.
Meng Po is very useful against this kind of difficult card, and can directly make the opponent forget their skills!
The moment the vortex in the air disappeared, Nie Xiaoqian, Qiao Sheng, and Lian Cheng moved together, relying on the bonus of the high-speed channel, and all moved to the southeast area, focusing their fire on killing Libra!
Yi Tianyang seemed to have anticipated this and shouted on the voice channel: "Xiaobai, summon all the cards!"
Yu Ke's attacking joker was fired crazily at Libra. Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang suddenly summoned all the cards, and Libra's skill "Balance" was activated in time. The Libra balance logo appeared above the heads of all the cards in the group, and the damage was evenly distributed within the next 10 seconds!
Yu Ke's concentrated attack did not kill Libra. Instead, all the star cards were connected by Libra's mark, and only about 5% of his health was lost at the same time.
Wu Yue said with some worry: "If Libra keeps linking all the cards together to evenly distribute the damage, it will be difficult for Xiao Ke to kill any of them... and Libra's evenly distributed damage will mark teammates with a balance mark. As long as the mark exists, it will always be evenly distributed, even if the teammates move out of range. This auxiliary card is particularly difficult to deal with."
Liu Chen said: "That's right, after the damage is evenly distributed, it is difficult to kill one of the cards, unless you kill the opponent directly!"
After Nirvana's card used a set of skills, it seemed like it was in vain. Xingkong's card's health was still above 80%.
However, the next moment, Yu Ke was seen controlling Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng, moving quickly on the high-speed passage in the ghost world. In the blink of an eye, the ghost couple came from the southeast to the extremely far southwest!
Yi Tianyang was startled, thinking something was wrong, but before he could take the next step, Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng had already arrived in front of Sagittarius.
The Sagittarius card is a single-target critical output card with ultra-long-range. One arrow can knock down half the health of a thick-skinned card and directly cripple a fragile card, but his own defense is super weak, so when he was summoned just now, Bai Xu summoned him in the southwest direction, which was the farthest away, to ensure his survival.
Xie Mingzhe saw this point and let Yu Ke kill Sagittarius first.
With the help of the ghost world's expressway and the joint efforts of Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng, the two ghost cards arrived at the southwest direction near Sagittarius at an extremely fast speed, and Lian Cheng's set of critical hits hit the fragile card without any hesitation!
With the same attack power and attack speed, when playing against a card with high defense, a normal attack in one second can take away a maximum of 10,000 health points. However, when playing against a fragile card with low defense like Sagittarius, a normal attack in one second may take away 20,000 health points.
At this time, all the cards in Starry Sky are in the Libra mark state of "everyone bears the damage together".
This means that once Sagittarius receives 20,000 damage and is divided equally, each card will receive 2,000 damage per second, not counting Liancheng's critical hits when the combo reaches 5/10/15!
To crack Starry Sky's Libra defense, Xie Mingzhe adopted the simplest and most brutal method - catch your weakest defensive card and play it, dealing the highest damage every time, and then let you share the damage and directly kill all of you!
In just a few seconds, Lian Cheng took advantage of the Sagittarius, the opponent with the weakest defense, and launched a series of combos, causing the Star Cards to lose a large amount of blood collectively. Coupled with the blood loss caused by the blood pool hell scene, their blood was reduced to half of their health in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Nirvana's card health was still around 70%.
Yi Tianyang opened the cosmic wormhole without hesitation and said, "Teleport the shooter away and counterattack with all our strength!"
Bai Xu also calmed down at this time. He found that Xie Mingzhe was using the ghost world's high speed to specifically pick on his squishy heroes. He quickly teleported Sagittarius away through the cosmic wormhole and let Sagittarius come to the due north area. At the same time, he launched a large-scale group attack from Gemini and Leo to reduce his health, and let Sagittarius and Scorpio's individual attacks all aim at the joker Liancheng!
The two sides started a firefight, and at this moment, Xie Mingzhe summoned Wei Zheng, Du Liniang and the judge at the same time!
Judge will automatically choose the card with the highest attack to cause huge damage. Since Gemini's group attack just now caused the highest damage, Judge punished Gemini, and this critical damage was evenly distributed by the Star Troopers' cards.
At the same time, Meng Po fed Lian Cheng a bowl of soup, allowing her to forget the injuries she suffered for a period of time, which was equivalent to temporary invincible protection.
Wei Zheng turned on the reward and punishment mode, Du Liniang gave everyone a mouthful of milk...
The Nirvana card, whose health was originally reduced, was slowly healed back by Du Liniang.
Since Du Liniang's healing capacity is very high, 10% of her healing is converted into a bounty pool. Without hesitation, she continued to move quickly to the north direction via the Ghost Realm Highway, throwing the bounty pool to Sagittarius, whose defense is the weakest!
This is where the flexibility of the bounty pool comes in. To the opponent, it is the same amount of damage; to teammates, it is the same amount of treatment.
At this time, due to Du Liniang's group healing, the overall health of Nirvana's cards was obviously higher than that of Starry Sky, so Du Liniang smashed the bounty pool to the opposite side, and the huge damage caused was shared by all the cards of Starry Sky, which was simply adding insult to injury.
Liancheng won't die for a while thanks to Mengpo's protection - forget all damage including card damage and scene damage. Even though Liancheng's health bar is flashing red dangerously and she has less than 5,000 health points left, she still has at least 5 seconds to live.
How much damage can Liancheng deal in 5 seconds?
She roams very quickly on the ghost highway, nimbly avoiding the opponent's control skills, and targets your shooter with the weakest defense, one combo after another. The damage inflicted is evenly distributed because of the existence of Libra, and the consequence is... Starry Sky's cards have been losing blood in groups, and the accumulation of small amounts makes a big one. In the blink of an eye, all of them have dropped below 30%!
The audience also discovered that to deal with this kind of "damage-sharing" auxiliary card, you should seize the opponent's weak spot and keep attacking. Even if the damage is evenly distributed, it will be enough to make the opponent drink a pot of wine after a long time!
At this time, Xie Mingzhe summoned another hidden card.
The Five Senses King, one of the Ten Courts of Hell, has the group attack skill "Blood Pond Hell", which absorbs 2% of the health of the enemy target within the range every second and lasts for 15 seconds. The small blood pond hell created by the Five Senses King is similar to the large blood pond hell scene, but the damage is higher.
Starry Sky has no healing card. At this time, the health of most cards is around 30%. The scene's blood loss, plus the blood loss from the Five Senses King's group attack skills, means that after 15 seconds, the health of all cards will be reduced to 0!
They only have 15 seconds, and they must kill Nirvana's card first to win.
Yi Tianyang forced open a space rift and teleported as a group to kill the ghost couple Liancheng and Qiao Sheng of Nirvana - he could only kill whichever card had low health, and seize the last 15 seconds to make the number of deaths on the opponent's array as much as possible than his own!
However, at this time, Xie Mingzhe turned from offense to defense - he started to be lazy.
The remaining 8 ghost cards, accelerated by the ghost world's high-speed channel, suddenly scattered across the entire map.
2 went to due north, 2 went to due south, 2 went to east, and 2 went to west.
The eight cards were dispersed almost instantly, and the high-speed flexibility of the ghost world was brought to its extreme. The moment the ghost cards dispersed at an accelerated speed, Yi Tianyang knew that the game was over.
Just tell me who you killed!
There are four directions. If you attack the east, you won’t be able to take care of the west. If you attack the north, the cards in the south will not die!
The starry sky can be teleported, but it cannot teleport to four locations at the same time!
After 15 seconds, the damage of the Blood Pool Hell is settled, and all the Star Cards are killed.
Libra, which was originally a very strong supporting card, was used by Xie Mingzhe and became the broken link that led to the destruction of the entire Starry Sky group.
Yi Tianyang was convinced. He was able to quickly spot the weakness and grasp the opportunity to change from offense to defense. It was truly a young man to be feared!
It is said that Starry Sky’s teleportation mode is very flexible, but in this game, the entire audience was dazzled and confused until the end of the game.
The masters watching the game backstage also had mixed feelings.
Ghost Realm Highway is really a headache to watch. Offense and defense can be switched at will, and you can focus fire and disperse. You can go wherever you want. It is more flexible than the transmission flow. Five-sided Ghost Emperor, a functional card that does not seem to be very threatening, has become the key to winning this game.
Without the highway, the speed of transfer and retreat would not be so fast. But to kill this card, you must kill the five ghost emperors in the east, south, west, north and center respectively. Professional players are pressing their temples with headaches - how to crack the fighting routines of the five ghost emperors? Is Xie Mingzhe not enough of being a director of card movies, and starting to be an architect and build an overpass for the cards?
