Among the Five Tiger Generals, Ma Chao once commanded Liangzhou before he followed Liu Bei. He was the overlord of Western Liang and could be called a local hero. Moreover, the cavalry he trained were particularly powerful. Not only were they fast on horseback, but each of them was armed with a spear and had first-class combat capabilities.
Ma Chao's first half of his life was quite glorious, which even Cao Cao envied. Unfortunately, the Xiliang army was in chaos later, and Ma Chao's family was killed by traitors. With nowhere else to go, he finally surrendered to Liu Bei, but he was always depressed and died at the age of 47. He can be regarded as a tragic hero.
Ma Chao's weapon was called the "Tiger-Headed Golden Spear". The handle was golden, with a lifelike tiger head carved on the top of the blade. The spear was sharp and could pierce through the enemy's heavy armor. His mount was said to be called Sharifi, a white horse that could travel a thousand miles a day.
Xie Mingzhe first conceived the image of the card characters.
Ma Chao was a famous general in Xiliang. At that time, there were many ethnic minorities in Xiliang, including many Qiang people. The people were tough and their clothing was quite different from that in the Central Plains. Most of the generals of the Xiliang Army had their hair loose and were bold and unrestrained. They did not like to wear braids, and Ma Chao was no exception. Later generations said that Ma Chao was very handsome and was called "Golden Ma Chao". The Qiang people worshipped him as "the mighty general".
His character should be that of a handsome general with some bold Western style.
After Xie Mingzhe conceived the image, he added skills to the card.
Ma Chao's most powerful weapon is his cavalry, which made Cao Cao very difficult to conquer Xiliang after a long battle. All the generals of Shu Kingdom, including the Lord of Shu Kingdom Liu Bei, ride horses, so we can add a skill to Ma Chao to increase the speed of all cavalry, which means that after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei use their skills, they can continue to speed up their escape or pursuit.
This skill is called "Qiuqi Jiangjun", which is also the title given to Ma Chao after he defected to Liu Bei.
As for the other skill, it is of course a single attack skill. In Xie Mingzhe's current Shu Kingdom deck, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong can all cut down thick-skinned meat shields, while Ma Chao specializes in killing cards with low health, complementing Zhang Fei's heavy attack.
After thinking of the design, Xie Mingzhe began to split the cards. He first drew Ma Chao's weapon. He wanted to draw this gun in more detail, especially the iconic "golden tiger head" of the Tiger Head Gun, which became lifelike under Xie Mingzhe's mental power.
The character image appears on another card. He is the handsome and elegant Xiliang general "Jin Ma Chao", who is definitely one of the most handsome generals in the Three Kingdoms.
Xie Mingzhe finished the first draft and immediately connected to the database for review. Soon, he heard the card pass the review.
Ma Chao (Gold)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 200, Attack 500, Defense 200, Agility 10, Critical Hit 10%
Additional Skills: Ride First (Ma Chao locks onto the target and teleports behind it, swinging his spear at the target, causing 150% single-target gold damage; if the target's base health is less than 100,000, it causes 300% single-target gold damage; cooldown time 30 seconds)
Additional Skill: Cavalry General (As a cavalry general, Ma Chao is very good at training cavalry. When releasing the skill, the movement speed of all mounted character cards will be increased by an additional 200% for 10 seconds; the cooldown time is 30 seconds)
The overall movement speed increase is considered an auxiliary skill, which allows teammates to quickly focus fire or escape. The first skill complements Zhang Fei, and teleports to the target, which can cause a fatal blow to the card with low health!
…
Four of the Five Tiger Generals have been made, leaving only Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was the face of Shu. It is said that Zhao Zilong in history was very handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a tall stature. In addition, he was loyal, brave, and resourceful. What's more rare is that Zhao Yun was also a versatile talent in both civil and military affairs.
People always say that "victory and defeat are common in the military", but Zhao Yun is the only "ever-victorious general" in history. He never lost a battle in his life, nor did he make any big mistakes. He was the one with the best ending among the Shu generals. He also had no flaws in his character and was close to perfect.
Xie Mingzhe was confused about how to assign skills to such a person.
The image was not difficult to come up with. With his current painting skills, he was getting more and more adept at drawing character cards. The Zhao Yun he conceived should be a handsome young general wearing armor and a white battle robe. There was also a white necklace on his helmet that matched his clothes. He held a spear and looked heroic.
Zhao Yun used many weapons. His favorite weapon in the later period was called "Longdan Bright Silver Spear", which is also one of the famous spears in history.
It is said that when this spear was made, pure silver was mixed into the material of the spear body, so it would shine like silver in the sunlight. Zhao Yun holding the Dragon Gall Spear was naturally extremely handsome, and his mount "Zhao Ye Yu Shi Zi" was as white as snow, without a trace of mixed color on its body, which matched Zhao Yun perfectly and also elevated his handsomeness to a higher level.
In the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun, wearing a white battle robe and riding a white horse, charged into Cao's camp alone with a spear in hand. Facing the siege of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops alone, he fought in and out seven times in a row. In the end, he protected the last lord Liu Chan. Not only did he successfully break through the siege, he also killed dozens of Cao Cao's generals and rescued Liu Chan in a thrilling way!
Just imagining that scene is enough to make one's blood boil. Zhao Yun's reputation of "courageous" is truly well-deserved.
Xie Mingzhe decided to set this story of seven ins and seven outs into a skill - making Zhao Yun a powerful interference card!
After seven consecutive charges and teleports, it will be difficult for the enemy to capture his position, allowing Zhao Yun to maximize his flexibility. And "Courageous" can also be made into an auxiliary attack skill, allowing Zhao Yun to deal explosive damage.
After Xie Mingzhe considered the settings, he used his mental power to connect to the card making system and began to split the cards.
The handsome character of Zhao Yun, his mount the Jade Lion of Night, his weapon the Longdan Silver Spear, and then his skill of Seven Ins and Seven Outs, full of courage.
After setting up all the elements, concentrate your mind on fusing the cards.
After nearly half an hour, Xie Mingzhe finally made the card of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun (Gold)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 times
Basic Attributes: HP 200, Attack 500, Defense 200, Agility 10, Critical Hit 10%
Additional Skills: Seven Ins and Seven Outs (Zhao Yun holds a spear and charges forward in the specified direction at a 500% speed on horseback. He charges forward seven times in a row within 7 seconds and causes 150% gold damage to enemies on the straight path. He cannot be interrupted or controlled during the charge; cooldown time is 30 seconds)
Additional Skill: Courageous (Zhao Yun is extremely courageous and fearless. When his HP is below 10%, he will charge in a designated direction without fear, causing 300% gold damage to enemies in a straight line)
The first skill allows Zhao Yun to charge forward seven times in a straight line without control. Although the damage caused is not high, such a strong harassment ability will definitely make the opponent busy and completely disrupt the opponent's formation!
The second skill is the residual health burst skill. When Zhao Yun is about to die, he will make a handsome charge. The damage caused this time is quite terrible, 300% gold linear path damage.
When facing Zhao Yun, the opponent will definitely have a headache - should he hit him or not?
Xie Mingzhe put away Zhao Yun with a smile.
The Five Tiger Generals of Shu are all here!
All five cards are gold-type cards, and can be combined into a gold-type deck.
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and excitedly chatted with Chen Qianlin privately: "Master, I made a few new cards. Can you help me check the data?"
Chen Qianlin was surprised that he could make so many new cards in one day, and immediately sent a transmission application. Xie Mingzhe approved the application, and saw his master's "Dead Tree Resurrection" trumpet coming in front of him.
"Show me the cards." Chen Qianlin said calmly.
Xie Mingzhe was excited and nervous, and took out all five cards and handed them to his master. Chen Qianlin lowered his head and carefully observed the skills and data of the cards.
All six cards have people riding horses, and different colored horses have different saddles drawn on them. It can be said that great attention has been paid to the details.
Except for Liu Bei, who has no weapon, all other characters hold gold weapons, including guns, bows, swords, and spears. The skill settings made Chen Qianlin very surprised, especially Liu Bei's "Peach Garden Oath" linkage skill that clears the linkage card skill CD, which is indeed the highlight of this deck.
Guan Yu's attack ignores defense, Zhang Fei attacks cards with high health of more than 150,000, Huang Zhong deducts health by a percentage, and Ma Chao specializes in killing cards with low health.
The skills of these four cards are varied, and it can be said that they cover most of the single-target attack skills.
Liu Bei's full-group protection, self-control immunity, group clearing of negative status, and designated target prevention of instant kill make him a very useful auxiliary card. Zhao Yun's seven consecutive charges can completely disrupt the opponent's formation, and he can burst out even when his health is low, making him a card that can both fight and resist.
Chen Qianlin couldn't believe that he could make six cards in such a short time. He turned around and looked at his apprentice and asked, "How come you suddenly have so many inspirations?"
Xie Mingzhe explained, "Last night, my senior brother asked me to play in the arena with the Fenghua Team 2. I was beaten by their various decks for seven consecutive games, and I summarized some experience. These cards were made by me based on the shortcomings of my own deck. Most of them are single attack, and my deck's single attack is too weak."
Chen Qianlin: “…”
He was very surprised that Tang Muzhou would intervene and take the initiative to help Xie Mingzhe.
According to his plan, it would take at least half a month for Xie Mingzhe to learn all these by playing in the expert level arena. But Tang Muzhou transferred all the players from Fenghua Team 2 to serve as sparring partners for Xie Mingzhe, and Xie Mingzhe was particularly smart, so he learned all of them in one night!
Chen Qianlin originally wanted his young apprentice to lay a solid foundation and slowly master the knowledge of these card decks.
But Tang Muzhou's assist immediately made Xie Mingzhe's consciousness leap forward. No wonder, many of the players he transferred to the Fenghua Second Team were able to reach the level of the main players of the second-tier clubs. Playing against such masters and watching their deck combinations really inspired Xie Mingzhe's card making inspiration.
What Chen Qianlin didn't understand was why Tang Muzhou wanted to intervene? When he was teaching Chen Xiao, Tang Muzhou had an attitude of "it's none of my business" and didn't care what Chen Xiao had learned. Now that he was his junior brother, why was he so active?
Chen Qianlin looked at Xie Mingzhe in confusion: "Do you have a good relationship with your senior brother?"
Xie Mingzhe was stunned. "This... can't be called a relationship, right? We just knew each other for a long time. He's been very caring towards me. He was the one who revealed the decks of the Alliance masters to me before the instant death cards, and that's how I figured out how to make them. We are a cooperative relationship, and he's still my VIP customer. I gave him a lot of instant death cards without charging him."
Chen Qianlin nodded in understanding: "That makes sense. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't take the initiative to help you even if you were his junior. He's quite lazy and takes a nap every afternoon. The second team doesn't really care about him. Usually it's Zhen Man who takes care of him."
"Maybe he helped me because we've worked together before. We agreed that after I perfected my deck, he would find someone from Team 2 to play against me. After playing against a master, I really got a burst of inspiration, hehe." Xie Mingzhe was very happy. After a pause, he asked, "Master, do you think any of my new cards need to be changed?"
Chen Qianlin said: "There are no problems with other cards, but the skill descriptions of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao need to be adjusted."
Xie Mingzhe immediately put on a serious attitude of listening attentively: "Well, Master, please tell me."
Chen Qianlin picked out two cards and said, "Zhang Fei's additional heavy attack is triggered when his health is above 150,000. This sentence is ambiguous. The system will think that you need to have 150,000 health left after the first attack to trigger it. Ma Chao's skill is just the opposite. It should not be determined by the basic health, but the current health."
He simply took out a blank card and rewrote the skill.
Heavy Attack: Zhang Fei locks onto a single enemy target and moves towards it at a 500% speed increase. He swings his Zhangba Snake Spear and hits the target hard, causing 200% single-target gold damage. If the target's basic health is greater than or equal to 100,000, an additional heavy attack will be made, causing an additional 200% gold damage.
Leading the Way: Ma Chao locks onto the target and teleports behind it, swinging his spear at the target, causing 150% single-target gold damage; if the target's remaining health is less than or equal to 100,000, an additional 150% single-target gold damage will be caused.
Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up. The master saw the problem in his description at a glance. Now it became particularly clear. Zhang Fei's skills are based on basic health. Hitting thick-skinned cards will trigger extra heavy attacks; Ma Chao's skills are based on remaining health. Hitting low-health cards will trigger extra damage.
Chen Qianlin explained: "The health trigger conditions for both cards are set to 100,000, because most of the defensive cards in the game have more than 100,000 health, and the output cards have less than 100,000 health. Zhang Fei has high health, and Ma Chao has low health. If the health is exactly 100,000, then Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's skills can trigger extra damage, and the two of them can kill instantly. Do you understand?"
Xie Mingzhe almost applauded. "Greater than or equal to, less than or equal to." Master is indeed an expert. Such a description will not cause any ambiguity and covers all cards. It is not like the "higher than" and "lower than" he wrote before, which would cause the system to misjudge.
Xie Mingzhe excitedly picked up the modified card and asked, "How do you adjust the basic data?"
Chen Qianlin wrote down a few fine-tuning plans on paper and asked Xie Mingzhe to adjust them accordingly. He also asked Chen Xiao to get a large amount of gold-based strengthening materials from the guild and strengthen all the adjusted cards to level 70 with full stars.
As a result, Xie Mingzhe's card pool now has six more gold-type Shu cavalry cards!
All of Guan Yu's data is stacked with basic attack. After the enhancement, the black card Guan Yu plus the skill coefficient can reach 80,000 in a single attack! Since the passive skill "Martial Saint's Advent" automatically ignores defense, "Single Sword Meeting" can cut off half of the opponent's defense card's life with one strike, and the fragile card can be killed instantly!
The skill characteristics of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are controlled by the system, and the maximum single output is 50,000. However, due to the targeted additional damage, the actual amount of blood lost is not low. Zhang Fei specializes in attacking thick skin cards above 100,000, and Ma Chao specializes in killing fragile skin cards below 100,000. After joining forces, they are invincible and no card can stop them!
Huang Zhong, the output of this card is calculated by percentage, so Master asked Xie Mingzhe to balance the data and add a lot of defense to make Huang Zhong a card with a relatively high survival rate, ensuring that he can delay the game. If one arrow doesn't kill him, you can delay the game by shooting a few more arrows, and 50% at a time is enough to scare the opponent's high health cards.
Zhao Yun's ability to disturb the enemy is very strong, his agility is maxed out, and he has the characteristic of bursting after he is at low health, so his health is also increased to prevent him from being killed instantly. This deck has too strong single-target attack, so Zhao Yun's attack does not need to be too high, just increase it to a medium level, and then burst out after he is at low health.
Liu Bei's attack is naturally reduced to 0, and his stats are only stacked on health and defense, serving as a strong backup for the Shu cavalry!
Xie Mingzhe was very excited as he held a stack of full-level black cards in his hand. His Shu Kingdom Cavalry Corps could finally go to the arena to show off their skills!
