Perhaps because he had put down the burden on his shoulders, Xie Mingzhe felt a lot more relaxed. After returning to the dormitory, he lay on the bed and carefully considered the deck for the team competition. Inspiration for making new cards gradually came to his mind.
Early the next morning, he logged into the game wearing a helmet and came to the familiar card display room.
He has stopped making cards since the doubles tournament entered the round of 16 against the Gui-Liu combination. He hasn't been to this display room for a long time. Now that he is back in front of the card operation table, he feels really familiar and friendly.
He took a stack of full-grade nebula paper, closed his eyes and thought seriously.
After completing the Eight Immortals deck, which included the God of Thunder, the Goddess of Lightning, the God of Wind, and the God of Rain, plus the immortal cards he had made before, he still needed seven more cards before he could create an independent category of "immortal cards".
But Xie Mingzhe didn't want to stop at just seven cards. 30 cards was the basic requirement for fairy cards to be an independent category, not the upper limit. He could continue to make fairy cards, and he felt that the more cards he made, the easier it would be to pass the category review - it was a simple logic. Look, I have made so many fairy cards with similar characteristics. Would it be reasonable not to make them an independent category?
Xie Mingzhe plans to do more and then submit it for review in a broad category.
When he was working on the ancient gods cards before, he made Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi and Shennong. This set of cards was actually not complete, because there were two other extremely famous gods in the same period as them - Zhurong, the god of fire, and Gonggong, the god of water.
As gods in ancient times who were in charge of the two natural elements of water and fire, there are many legends about them among the people. One of the most well-known is the epoch-making war between Zhurong, the god of fire, and Gonggong, the god of water.
It is said that the God of Water and the God of Fire have always been at odds. One day, the conflict intensified, and Gonggong led his subordinates to extinguish Zhurong's sacred fire that had never been extinguished. Zhurong was furious, and drove a fire dragon out to fight, burning Gonggong with fire. Gonggong fled back to the sea, but Zhurong chased him at full speed. Wherever the fire dragon went, the sea water rolled to both sides with huge hot waves, leaving a road. Gonggong fled to the horizon in a wolf-like manner, all the way to Mount Buzhou. As the pursuers were approaching, he had to crash into the mountainside, which broke Mount Buzhou, causing the pillars of heaven to collapse, floods to spread, and mankind was almost extinct. Later, Nuwa refined colorful stones to repair the sky, and the earth returned to normal.
This story is also a classic legend in many immortal cultivation games and fairy tales. The idiom "water and fire cannot coexist" also comes from this.
Gonggong has a human face and a snake body, with long red hair and a violent temper. He has two notorious gods under him, one is "Xiangliu", who is green, cruel and greedy, and enjoys killing; the other is the fierce and evil "Fuyou", who is said to be able to see through people's minds and deceive them.
Xie Mingzhe planned to design these two little followers as summoned creatures.
The design of the Gonggong card is related to water. The large-scale water-based group attack can be used for field control and can also deal group water damage.
Gonggong (water system)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 700, Attack 1600, Defense 700, Agility 30, Crit 30%
Additional Skills: Huge Waves (Gonggong can control the "water" in nature and is called the "Water God". He can create a huge wave about 10 meters wide, which will rush in the specified direction and knock all enemy targets on the straight path back 5 meters; cooldown time 20 seconds)
Additional Skills: Floating Xiangliu (Gonggong has two very loyal subordinates, Xiangliu and Fuyou.
Xiangliu: Possesses the skill "Greedy Killing", which can attack a designated single target from a distance of 23 meters, causing 150% water damage to a single target. When killing a target, the skill is immediately refreshed and enters the Greedy state, increasing the attack power by 50% and cooling down for 20 seconds;
Floating: Possesses the skill "Mind Reading", which allows you to see through your opponent's mind and seduce them. Designate a single card of the opponent, so that they will not release any skills to you in the next 5 seconds, and cool down for 30 seconds)
Additional Skill: Crash into Buzhou Mountain (Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain, causing a flood that nearly wiped out humanity. When Gonggong appears, Buzhou Mountain will automatically generate at the edge of the competition field. Once Gonggong crashes into Buzhou Mountain, the sky will collapse and the earth will split, and the entire scene will be flooded. All cards on both sides will fall into the flood, and all will be slowed down by 70%, and lose 5% health per second for 20 seconds; limited skill, can only be used once per game)
After designing the Gonggong card, the next one to design is his nemesis, the God of Fire Zhurong.
Xie Mingzhe had previously designed Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, who dealt damage through chained iron chains and fire spread. However, in the last doubles match against Tang Muzhou, Xie Mingzhe also discovered the flaws of this design - when the opposing cards were scattered in actual combat and the chain could not be linked, the damage dealt by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire attacks was not ideal. Moreover, the chain did not have a freeze skill, so the linked cards could quickly run away.
Zhou Yu and Lu Xun are very powerful in chaotic team battles with more than 20 cards, but it is difficult for them to play a role in team battles with less than 10 cards.
Therefore, Xie Mingzhe intended to make up for this shortcoming in the design of Zhurong card, so that Zhurong can also deal decent damage in small-scale team battles. The skill judgment should not be too complicated, and the damage should be sufficient, so that one wave will be enough to give the opponent a headache.
It is said that Zhurong is an expert in managing and using fire. Since he is the god of fire, his skills are all designed to be related to fire. His character image is drawn in the same style as the water god Gonggong. However, Gonggong's body is surrounded by blue mist, while Zhurong's body is surrounded by blazing flames.
Zhurong (Fire)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 700, Attack 1600, Defense 700, Agility 30, Crit 30%
Additional Skills: Eternal Fire (Zhu Rong is an expert at using fire and can manipulate the fire element at will, so he is called the "God of Fire". He can create an eternal fire that never goes out, bringing eternal light to mankind - Zhu Rong ignites an eternal fire at a designated location, illuminating the entire scene map, and within a 23×23 meter range near the fire, invisible targets automatically reveal their whereabouts; limited skill, can only be used once per match)
Additional Skill: Blazing Fire (Zhu Rong controls the blazing fire, instantly causing 300% fire group critical damage to enemy targets within a range of 23 meters in front, and causing an additional 80% fire damage to the unit with the lowest health; cooldown time 35 seconds)
Additional Skills: Blazing Flame (Zhu Rong releases Blazing Flame on enemy targets within a 23-meter range, automatically adding the negative status of "burning" to all targets, reducing attack by 10% and defense by 10% per second for 5 seconds, and when the burning status disappears, it causes a 2-second fire stun control to the group; the cooldown time is 30 seconds)
The control of the blazing flames is caused when the negative state ends.
This design will give the opponent a headache. If you use a skill that removes the burning, it means that "the burning state disappears", and it will still cause 2 seconds of stun and group control. But if you ignore it, it will decrease by 10% per second, and the attack and defense will decrease by 50% after 5 seconds, which is also very annoying.
The combo of Scorching Flames + Blazing Ground has an instantaneous explosive power that is absolutely at the level that the strongest fire-type group attack card should have.
Because "water and fire cannot coexist", the attributes of the two cards, Gonggong the God of Water and Zhurong the God of Fire, are one water and one fire, so they cannot be made into linked cards and can only be single cards. In normal mode, the two cards cannot be played at the same time, and their skills will conflict with each other. The flood of the God of Water may extinguish the fire of the God of Fire. But in endless mode, they can be played one after another according to the situation.
One moment there's a flood, the next moment there's a raging fire, and with the four gods of thunder, lightning, wind, and rain, the cards really have nowhere to hide!
