Bai Xu's mind was in a mess. He lost the first game too quickly. From the announcement of the game map to the end of the game, the whole process took less than 8 minutes. In addition to the blood loss effect of the "Blood Pool Hell" map that accelerated the pace of the game, the key was the "Five-Direction Ghost Emperor" card. The high-speed passage in the ghost world increased the movement speed of all ghost cards by 500%, allowing them to catch up with his star card at the fastest speed. Bai Xu had never expected this.
He originally thought that Starry Sky's teleportation style of play was the most flexible tactic in the entire alliance, but Xie Mingzhe now told him that with the Five Ghost Emperors, the flexibility of the ghost cards was no less than his Starry Sky cards - the only thing he was proud of was also caught up by Xie Mingzhe, and this incident was a much greater blow to him than losing the game itself.
Yi Tianyang saw Bai Xu's frustrated expression, and sighed in his heart. He patted his shoulder and encouraged him softly, "It's okay. Xie Mingzhe's accelerated play is very novel. It's normal for us to lose. Don't think too much and prepare for the next game."
Bai Xu frowned in confusion: "What if he uses the 'Five Ghost Emperors' card again in the next round?"
Yi Tianyang smiled slightly: "I have already figured out how to crack it."
At this time, the three commentators in the commentary room were also discussing this issue:
Wu Yue said seriously: "Five-Direction Ghost Emperor is a functional auxiliary card. It has no attack power and only provides acceleration for teammates. Unlike the auxiliary card of "collective acceleration of teammates within the range", Five-Direction Ghost Emperor directly builds a high-speed overpass. These channels always exist. As long as teammates walk on the channel, they can automatically get the movement speed bonus."
Liu Chen praised: "This card is indeed very cleverly designed, but it is very difficult to use in practice. First of all, there are too many vertical and horizontal channels, and unskilled players can easily get lost in the channels. In addition, if you want to attack your opponent, you must quickly find the fastest shortcut. Which channel will save the most time? This is also very particular."
Wu Yue smiled and said, "It seems that Xie Mingzhe must have learned mathematics very well. His command ideas in the first game were very clear. They kept their eyes on the opponent's Sagittarius, whose defense was the weakest, and they were able to reach Sagittarius every time through the shortest shortcut."
Liu Chen was more concerned about another problem, so he looked at Su Yang and said, "Senior, how do you think we can crack the Five Ghost Emperors' accelerated play?"
Su Yang thought carefully for a moment and said, "I have an idea. Since the Ghost Emperors are in the five directions of east, south, west, north and center, the group attack skills cannot cover the five directions at the same time. It is very difficult for a single attack card to kill five Ghost Emperors at the same time, but you can choose the most critical Ghost Emperor to kill first. Because each Ghost Emperor inherits 20% of the health of the mother card, it is still easy to kill only one."
Liu Chen asked: "Is the most critical one the Ghost Emperor in the middle? He has four connection points on his body."
Su Yang shook his head. "Not necessarily. According to the setting of the ghost world passage, after the ghost emperor at a certain location dies, the passage connecting to that location will disappear, so it depends on the actual situation." He explained while watching the game replay, "For example, in the previous round, most of Xingkong's cards were in the east, so they could kill the ghost emperor in the east first and cut off all the passages connecting to the east. In this way, Nirvana's cards would not be able to pass their card base."
Wu Yue suddenly realized: "What it means is, wherever our card's base camp is, we should kill the Ghost Emperor nearby first, cut off all the paths for the opponent's cards to speed up to our camp, and then stand in this area to fight the opponent?"
"Well, this is just one way to deal with the accelerated play of the Five Ghost Emperors." Su Yang said with a smile: "Other teams can fight like this when they encounter the Five Ghost Emperors, but it is not convenient for Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang to do so. Their cards themselves are a teleportation play. It is impossible for them to fight in a fixed area for a long time. This is equivalent to cutting off their own arms."
"I wonder if Xie Mingzhe will continue to use the Five Ghost Emperors in the next round? Have Yi Tianyang and Bai Xu figured out a way to crack it?" Wu Yue said excitedly, "It's time to rest, let's look forward to the next exciting game!"
The image on the big screen switched back to the competition interface.
The second game was the home court of Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang. Yi Tianyang quickly submitted the map - Gemini.
This is the map used by the Star Team in the team competition in the first half of the year. It is one of the "Star Series" maps made by Bai Xu himself.
In fact, in the Star Card game, the Gemini star field is where all players live, and everyone is very familiar with this planet. However, the Gemini star made by Bai Xu is completely different from the residential planet in the game.
This is a region segmentation map.
Bai Xu explained the map design as follows: From the perspective of astrophysics, a binary star refers to two stars with very close masses. Since their gravity and magnetic fields are also very close, they will attract each other and revolve around each other, never separating, just like a pair of planetary twins.
The Gemini Battle Map consists of two planets that rotate on one side and constantly revolve around the other side. They are named Planet A and Planet B. Every time the two planets rotate once, that is, after 30 seconds, three "space portals" will appear at random positions. All cards can jump from one planet to another through the "space portal". The portal disappears after 10 seconds. Once the portal disappears, the cards between the two planets lose their vision, and all skills are isolated by the planet's atmosphere.
It can be seen that Bai Xu really likes astronomy, and the binary star map he designed is also very unique.
Planet A and Planet B are equivalent to two identical, isolated planets that revolve around each other. You cannot see the cards on the opposite planet, nor can you attack them. You can only run to the opposite planet and attack the opponent during the 10 seconds when the portal is open. Before the portal closes, the low-health cards can also take the opportunity to teleport away.
Su Yang pondered for a moment and said, "This is equivalent to a rhythmic battle map. Both sides will coexist peacefully for 30 seconds, and then take the opportunity to attack the other side after the portal is opened. After the portal is closed, the cards on the same planet can continue to fight, and the cards on different planets will be isolated again. So choosing which cards to send to the other side and which to stay is very critical."
Once our 5 cards go to Star B, and the opponent leaves 7 cards on Star B, we will definitely die miserably if we are outnumbered.
This is not only a tactical game, but also a psychological game.
When Yu Ke saw this map, his mind almost exploded. In the first half of the regular season, the Star Team won many games with this map, which was one of the reasons why they were closely following Nirvana in the standings in the second half of the schedule. When preparing for the game yesterday, Xie Mingzhe took out the Star Game video to review it, and Yu Ke was deeply impressed by this map.
Bai Xu's playing style on this map is very simple and crude. The moment the migration channel is opened, he will instantly teleport all the cards to the opposite planet, forming a card quantity suppression, defeating the opponent in a wave within 10 seconds, and then quickly withdrawing before the channel is closed.
The opponent had several cards destroyed and had no way to fight back, so he could only watch.
Due to the existence of the "Cosmic Wormhole" teleportation card, the Star Troopers' deck is particularly flexible when playing on the Gemini map, and can attack and defend freely, and advance and retreat in moderation. It is not easy for others to transfer a large number of cards within 10 seconds, so they often face a passive situation of having a small number of players against a large number.
Xie Mingzhe was looking at the map and thinking seriously. If the opponent chose the Gemini battle map, the Five-Direction Ghost Emperor card could no longer be used, because the Ghost Emperor's highway can only be built in the same scene. Gemini is two isolated planets, which are considered two scenes. The only passage between the planets is the "space leap channel" that opens once every 30 seconds. The Ghost Emperor's highway cannot go directly to the universe.
This map should have been chosen by Yi Tianyang, who deliberately prevented Xie Mingzhe from using the Five Ghost Emperors to accelerate.
It seems that Starry Sky is going to rely on group teleportation to create a situation where the majority are against the minority?
Xie Mingzhe thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He smiled and said to Yu Ke: "Xiao Ke, in this round, we will not use the Five Ghost Emperors to speed up. Let's use a King Yan to control the field. After they are teleported over later..."
After hearing Ah Zhe's explanation, Yu Ke's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I understand, don't worry, I will cooperate with you!"
Both sides announced their competition decks.
Only two of the visible cards on the Starry Sky side were replaced. The two auxiliary cards "Libra" and "Space Rift" were removed and replaced with the super output card "Taurus" and the water healing card "Aquarius". The output and survivability of the deck have been improved compared to the previous game, but without the evenly distributed damage of Libra, a single card can easily be killed by the opponent.
However, the cards on Nirvana's side have not changed at all - Qiao Sheng, Lian Cheng, Nie Xiaoqian, and Gongsun Jiuniang are almost Yu Ke's standard joker cards, and the Judge, Meng Po, Wei Zheng, and Du Liniang are also the same as in the previous game.
The audience was very confused: "Didn't Ah Zhe change any cards?" "He used the same tactics twice, what's the trick?" "He should have changed the hidden cards, the Five-sided Ghost Emperor can't be played on this map!"
In the commentary room, Wu Yue also speculated: "If the open cards were not changed, then maybe two hidden cards were changed?"
Liu Chen said with great interest: "It seems that Xie Mingzhe is going to play the joker to the end today. This round is likely to be a lineup of 10 jokers again. Maybe a new joker will appear in the hidden cards."
Shen An, who was watching the game from the backstage, couldn't help but wonder: "Master, do you think Junior Master will bring a new joker?"
Tang Muzhou smiled slightly: "Yes, he didn't change the open cards. The two hidden cards should be tactical cards specially selected for the Gemini map - wait and see, there will definitely be a good show later."
