Every time a new season comes, all players who were at the "Junior Star Card Expert" level in the previous season will be demoted back to the "Star Card Apprentice" level, allowing everyone to fight their way up again. This is also to increase players' enthusiasm for playing in the arena.
The new season started on August 10th, and the competition teams of major guilds have already actively entered the arena. The Judgment Guild has been holding activities and adjusting the welfare cards of members in recent days, so it has postponed its large-scale entry into the arena for a few days.
Last night, Canyang just sent a guild notice: "Members whose ranks have been demoted in the new season, start playing in the arena tomorrow and try to get to the Star Card Expert rank as soon as possible. This weekend we will sign up for the guild league, and only members at the Star Card Expert rank can participate. All players participating in the guild league who win more than 10 games can receive a guild welfare card, so everyone actively participate!"
This news caused countless members of the guild to be sentenced to diving.
The Guild League is a large-scale guild PK event held every weekend. There are single, double, and team competitions. All guild members can freely sign up for different groups of competitions and randomly match opponents. After winning, different guild points will be obtained. Finally, the guilds will be ranked according to their total points. The system will give a large number of rewards to the top ten guilds.
This is an important part of building a guild's reputation. Big guilds like Judgment, Fenghua, and Guiyu all participate in the weekly guild league.
This year, due to a large-scale official update during the summer, the new season officially started on August 10. Most guilds actively went to the arena on the day the new season started. The delay of a few days in judging was slower than others, so Canyang was very anxious and wanted everyone to upgrade to Star Card Expert as soon as possible. The fastest way to upgrade to Star Card Expert is to win consecutive games.
Starting from the first level, Apprentice, you can directly advance to the fourth level, Junior Expert, by winning 30 games in a row.
In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the members, Canyang went to the Arbitration Headquarters to ask Lan Shen for the copy of a card, which was a very popular "White Crane" in his flying cards, as a welfare card reward for the guild league.
The Judgment Guild had a large number of Shanlan's crazy fans, and they couldn't sit still after seeing the reward. Those who usually didn't like playing in the arena also went to play ranked games for the reward. This morning, at least several hundred people from the Judgment Guild who had been demoted joined the arena ranked games.
As a result, I ran into a fat uncle who was going to play in the qualifying match.
There were so many people playing ranked games at the same time that it was fate that they could meet each other in random matches. But once the winning streak increased, they would be matched with players who also had a winning streak. This is why the two winning streak players of the Judgment Guild were matched with Fatty Uncle, and both were defeated by Fatty Uncle.
The Wolf Soul, whose ten-game winning streak was ended, was a novice who had just played for a month and found a master to teach him how to play the deck; the Filina, whose eleven-game winning streak was ended, had been away from the game for more than a month due to work reasons and just came back yesterday. They didn’t know about Uncle Fat’s “heroic deeds”.
As a result, after listening to the gossip from the two girls from the beginning, both of them opened their mouths wide and their jaws almost dropped in shock.
Filina had a complicated look on her face: "So, this fat uncle is a recent celebrity? He made a large number of instant death cards and even attracted the attention of God Nie and God Lan?"
Shuangshuang nodded seriously: "Nie Shen and Lan Shen both admire him very much. He broke the world record of Zizhulin a few days ago. I didn't expect that he would make a deck for playing in the arena so quickly..."
As they were talking, President Huanyue and Vice President Canyang hurried in.
Huanyue said straightforwardly: "The vice president has told me the situation. Show me the video of the arena."
The two of them successively called up the arena video on the holographic screen.
The first match was very simple. Wolf Soul wanted to kill Zhou Yu in one second, but was taken back by Da Qiao's seclusion. Wolf Soul was stunned for a moment and was counterattacked by the opponent. The second match was more intense. It was obvious that Filina's level was much higher than that of the newcomer Wolf Soul.
Huanyue observed carefully from a God's perspective and quickly came to the conclusion: "Uncle Fatty's deck must have been adjusted by a master, and the skills are connected very smoothly. Even if a general card maker is talented and can create original cards, balancing the card data is a long-term process of experience accumulation, and it is impossible to achieve such perfection."
Canyang scratched his head and said, "Didn't Nie Shen say the same thing when he broke the record last time?"
"Hmm." Huanyue paused, then continued, "These cards all have Yueban's original logo. It seems that Uncle Pang's card-making talent is really strong. This deck has several cards that are particularly well designed, such as Da Qiao's seclusion, Sun Shangxiang's continuous pursuit and harvesting, and Sun Ce's super-fast taunt. I think even professional players will not be bad if they use these cards to play in the league."
"..." Hearing this, the two people who lost to the Fatty Uncle were a little shocked. It seemed that their loss was not unfair, as the Fatty Uncle's deck was indeed very powerful.
"The deck is very strong, and his reaction ability is not weak either, right?" Canyang watched the game replay thoughtfully.
"That's right." Huanyue watched the game on the screen with admiration in her eyes. "In the second game, he let Sun Ce escape from the freezing control range and force aggro to deal with the group attack combo. This strategy should have been thought of within the 20-second countdown. He was able to come up with a way to deal with an unfamiliar deck so quickly. This person is very smart. According to Nie Shen, he is... ahem, spiritual."
"..." Wolf Soul and Filina looked at each other in bewilderment. Although losing to Uncle Fatty was not unfair, Uncle Fatty's style of play really made people angry! It felt like a punch on cotton. He had worked in vain for a long time. He took the card back and summoned it with full health? ?
"Canyang, tell everyone in the club that those who are at the Star Card Apprentice level should take a break for half a day and play ranked games in the afternoon so as not to run into Uncle Fatty and affect his winning streak." Huanyue made the decision calmly and said, "With the strength of Uncle Fatty's deck and his speed of response, I estimate that he will be able to reach Star Card Expert in one go tonight."
"Becoming an expert in one day? That's too exaggerated!" the two girls exclaimed.
"Don't exaggerate, thirty consecutive wins will be enough." Huanyue said.
"..." No one knew what to say. Can Uncle Fatty really win 30 games in a row at a low level?
***
Can Xie Mingzhe do it? He himself is unsure, but he becomes more and more confident as he fights!
After twelve consecutive victories, he reached "Star Card Apprentice Level 5" and accumulated 100 points, allowing him to participate in the promotion competition.
The opponents in the promotion match will be more difficult, and this time he met a player with a water deck.
Water is best at using soft control and slowly consuming. In principle, water is better at restraining fire. But this player's reaction speed is obviously not as fast as Xie Mingzhe. Her freezing control at the beginning still failed to control Sun Ce, so Xie Mingzhe used the same trick again. Sun Ce used a range taunt to absorb the opponent's group attack, completely disrupting the opponent's rhythm.
Xie Mingzhe spent a few seconds fighting with the opponent, and when Lu Meng seized the opportunity of the opponent's control skills, he directly counterattacked, followed by a full-scale counterattack!
This deck is also very powerful when counterattacking. Sun Ce's death in formation will increase Zhou Yu's attack. Zhou Yu's fire-based group attack, plus Lu Xun's fire chain critical strike, after these two skills are released, the opponent will basically be left with a trace of health.
Sun Shangxiang stood out in the desperate situation, defeated everyone in seconds, shot continuously and collected the cards, and the opponent was beaten to a complete defeat!
This is the strongest point of Dongwu's deck. Either you focus on one of Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, or Sun Shangxiang and kill them all at once. As long as these three are alive, Xie Mingzhe will seize the opportunity to counterattack and take over their skills...
That means the destruction of heaven and earth, a complete collapse.
Kill Sun Ce? It's useless. If Sun Ce dies, Zhou Yu will increase his attack by 50%, and the fire will burn even more fiercely.
Kill Zhou Yu? Kill Xiang Xiang? Kill Lu Xun? Sun Ce can protect these three output cards by taunting the whole group. Sun Ce can't protect them, and there is Da Qiao's recycling, double insurance, it is difficult to kill these three output cards directly.
Therefore, anyone who fights with Fatty will feel very powerless. With seven character cards, who should be killed first? !
Everyone soon discovered that it was difficult to kill anyone, and the best they could do was kill Sun Ce and increase Zhou Yu's attack? Isn't this too shameless?
——Congratulations on your 13th consecutive victory, and your rank has been raised to the second tier: Apprentice Star Card Master! Please keep up the good work!
After playing for a whole morning and being promoted to Apprentice Star Card Master, Xie Mingzhe became even more excited.
His excitement was not only because of the thirteen consecutive victories, but also because he was becoming more and more familiar with the skill connections and operation procedures of this Dongwu deck.
Although he encountered many unexpected situations in the later rounds, he resolved them all calmly.
This deck takes the initiative to attack, and can use Lu Meng to control the opponent in a wave. When the opponent takes the initiative, you can also rely on Sun Ce's high mobility to hold on and seize the opportunity to counterattack! If the opponent kills a card instantly, let Da Qiao leave the battlefield and recover the remaining blood cards from a distance to avoid damage. This is what he learned while competing in the arena!
He felt that his understanding of the Star Card Arena had been elevated to a higher level, and he could roughly judge the response plan based on the opponent's deck.
The most important thing is to learn something from the arena!
Xie Mingzhe logged off to eat, and then went back to the arena. Chen said that all masters reach the expert level in one day, and he wanted to challenge himself to see if he could achieve the feat of winning 30 games in one day.
Star card expert, he is not far away!
The author has something to say:
Star Card Expert is roughly the diamond rank of lol and Honor of Kings. It is easier to upgrade if you have strong awareness and a strong deck. The expert rank opens the dark card mode, which is more fun.
