Master of Trading Star Card GameCh57 - Single Burst Card

To make cards of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, it was no good to follow their husbands to go set fire. Xie Mingzhe wanted to give them support and healing skills, but the card attribute setting made Xie Mingzhe completely confused.

The arena has a rule, if a player’s card deck contains five cards with the same attribute, they can get the “Trump Card’s Shield” deck buff. For example, you can get a universal attack or defense bonus, or a health increase to all cards, etc. The player can also choose according to their preferences, and the data bonus added is quite considerable. wIdxJX

Currently, in his card group Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Lü Meng are all fire cards. If Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are designed as fire system cards, the amount of healing is likely to be quite low. But, if Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are not fire system cards, he does not have five fire system cards all together.

Chen Qianlin saw him lowering his head to think and asked, “Is there something that isn’t clear? You can tell me.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xie Mingzhe immediately told his master what he was thinking. “Master, I’ve come up with two character cards, I want to make a support card and a healing card. If I make a fire system healing card, isn’t the amount of healing going to be extremely low? I remember it was written in your notebook, very few fire system cards can become healing cards, and the majority are made as attack cards.”

Chen Qianlin nodded. “The data for each of the five card systems has a range, the amount of healing for the fire system is indeed quite low, Among the majority of the best cards, pure healing cards are most often wood system, water system, or metal system. Wood system cards have the highest base healing; water system healing is slow, but returns health steadily, usually as a regen buff; metal system cards go a critical hit healing route, suited to stacking crit rate.” HmLtlZ

Chen Qianlin directly found a few representative healing cards from within the database, screenshotting them for Xie Mingzhe to carefully examine.

Three pictures appeared in front of him. The first card was from the wood system. One of Tang Muzhou’s plant cards, it had a group healing skill. The base healing amount reached 35000, returning quite impressive 35000 health to the whole group. The water system card is one of Flowing Frost City member Qiao Xi’s sea creature cards. It can layer a water system healing buff over all allies, adding 3% health each second for ten seconds, returning 30% health altogether. Similar to the continuous pulse of hot recovery skills in online games, the skill does not have a cool down period and can be used continuously, suited to a slow-tempo war of attrition. The Metal card was one of Palace of the Gods' healing weapon cards. The base healing was only 15000, but when critical hits pile up very high, triggering a crit can also achieve group healing of around 30,000.

Earth system cards are generally dependent on healing shields. The effect is very slow, and it can lack strength against heavy damage. The fire system is more suited to dealing damage, the recovery-type cards generally restore mental strength, and healing is pitifully low.

Each of the five card systems have their own strengths, and the fire system is clearly not suited to making healing cards.

Xie Mingzhe scratched his head and said, “I might as well make my two treatment cards gold system cards. I still need one more fire system card to make a set.”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Chen Qianlin said, “You don’t need to worry about the problem of attributes. The arena lets you bring seven cards. Aside from the five cards of the same system that make up a set, the additional two card attributes can be whatever you want. Five plus two is the most commonly seen manner of matching card groups. Many professional players also match in this way, for example Nie Yuandao uses five fire cards and two wood cards, and your card group of five fire cards and two metal cards is also not bad.”

Chen Qianlin suggested, “Huang Gai is still better as an earth card, the amount of healing is high. If you change it into a fire card, the amount of health is too low, so generating a shield according to a percentage of health won’t work. You can exchange this earth card, for challenging the arena, Huang Gai is really not suited for your card group. He is more suited for defensive counterattacks, or maybe a deathrattle play. Zhou Yu and Lu Xun both have fire system group attacks, it would be better to make a fire system single attack card to match them.” bhI5GV

Zhou Yu’s Setting Fire at Chibi and Yu Xun’s Burning Down the Military Encampment were both group attacks. In the event they didn’t kill all the enemies, that would be very awkward. The cooldown of both of their group attack skills was relatively long, and if the enemy can’t be finished off in one wave, are they just supposed to stand there foolishly in front of those that didn’t die?

There must be a card that can make up damage and reap the remaining health based on Zhou Yu and Yu Xun’s two person fire attack. This type of card must have high single burst damage, to ensure that one shot can immediately drop the opponent’s key card.

Single fire system, burst attack, who should he make? 8EI3yH

Xie Mingzhe thought about it carefully, then suddenly remembered that Wu State still had a very well known woman.

She is Sun Ce and Sun Quan’s younger sister, the owner of Dongwu County, Sun Shangxiang.

During the Battle of Chibi, in order to strengthen the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, at the suggestion of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan married his sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei.

At that time, Liu Bei did not have a principal wife, so he took Sun Shangxiang as his official wife. Although the age gap between the two was somewhat large, no matter how you say it, Liu Bei was reputed as a brilliant hero. Sun Shangxiang’s mother, Lady Wu, was very supportive of this marriage, and persuaded her daughter to marry Liu Bei, and the two families thus formed an in-law relationship. XJTZz6

Since Sun Shangxiang had an unyielding temperament, she loved to wield blades and spears from a young age. Even the personal maids at her side all carried knives. After Liu Bei married her, her Young Miss temperament still didn’t change, she was very crafty and unruly, and her maids carried knives to follow her every day. The ordinary people called this brave and unyielding lady “Yu Ji Niangniang“, and it was said that later generations even set up a temple to her called “Yu Ji Shrine”.

The binding of these two was Sun Quan and Liu Bei making a political marriage in order to resist Cao Cao. There isn’t a detailed historical record of what the relationship between this husband and wife was after marriage. It is only said that Liu Bei was afraid of Sun Shangxiang. After all, she was a lady who carried a knife for self defense every day, entering her room might put his life in danger! Thus, Liu Bei’s subordinates especially reminded him, “Your Majesty must stay far away from Lady Sun and keep your distance so as not to be accidentally injured by her.”

After about three years of marriage, Liu Bei planned to leave Jingzhou to go to Shu lands. A crack began to appear in the Sun Liu alliance. Sun Quan sensed this, and immediately dispatched a big ship to go and welcome his sister back. Sun Shangxiang returned to her native Eastern Wu, and her brief political marriage with Liu Bei ended completely.

This kind of resolute and bold younger sister, if you make a single crit card, the damage dealt will certainly explode! uPmexc

Xie Mingzhe quickly sketched out Sun Shangxiang’s image in his mind.

Zhou Yu and Lu Xun are both beautiful men in period clothing. In order to have a unified painting style, Sun Shangxiang naturally also has to wear the clothing of the Three Kingdoms Period. This eldest young miss of Wu State, who is famous for not loving bright and beautiful clothing but loving military clothing, naturally will not have the soft and feminine clothes of a young girl from a wealthy family. Xie Mingzhe intends for her to wear free and easy martial attire from head to toe, hair bound in a ponytail at the top of her head, wearing a hairstyle not inferior to a man’s.

Sun Shangxiang often carries a bow on her back, and is called “Gong Yao Ji” by the people of Wu State, so a bow and arrow will be her weapons.

If the weapon is drawn as being made of metal, the card will be classified as a gold card. Xie Mingzhe decided to alter the design – a wooden longbow, and sharp arrows cut from wood, with the arrowheads set on fire. In this way, it will have nothing to do with metal, and will instead become “fire system damage”, just right to form a fire deck with Zhou Yu’s four people. z4gkKW

From then on, the Eastern Wu Arson Group had a little sister with a longbow.

After conceiving the design in his mind, Xie Mingzhe used his mental power to connect to the card making system and make the card [Sun Shangxiang].

Most likely the “wooden arrow lit on fire” design was relatively new and original, so this time the card easily passed the system audit.

On the front of the card, there was a valiant and formidable looking woman. She was dressed entirely in neat martial clothing, Her hair was bound up high, and she was as confident as a man. One hand steadily held the longbow, and the other hand drew back the arrow that had been set on fire. Her shining eyes stared fixedly ahead, braving the flame of her bow and arrow, poised to fire. It is as if the eldest young miss of Wu State can shoot anyone who dares to provoke her to death with a single arrow in an instant! 3JaQNd

Sun Shangxiang (fire system)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Rating:
Number of Uses: 1/1
Basic Attributes: Health 200, Attack 700, Defense 200, Agility 20, Critical Chance 30%
Additional Skill: Gong Yao Ji (Sun Shangxiang will draw her longbow, shooting a burning fire arrow at a designated target within 23 meters to the front, causing 200% single fire attack damage to the target. If the attack succeeds at killing the target, additional damage will be dealt to a random enemy target. Cooldown 30 seconds.)
Additional Skill: Returning Home (Sun Shangxiang was welcomed back to her native land by her elder brother, within three seconds of opening the skill she can ignore all control effects and teleport herself back to a designated teammate, cooldown 30 seconds.)

It is needless to say the first skill is a typical single burst attack skill. If the opponent’s health can be destroyed in a single second, you can continue to add additional attacks. If the additional attack again kills in a second, then add another attack. If the opponents are all injured by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, then the waiting Xiangxiang can be let out, causing a terrible “harvesting” effect – the eldest young miss shoots someone to death with a single arrow, and they are all totally unable to live!

The design of the second skill is mainly to ensure Sun Shangxiang’s flexibility and survivability. This kind of exploding single damage card can be very easily taken out by the opponent. Xiangxiang has inherently low defense. If she is controlled, she is likely to be dispatched by collective enemy fire. Having Returning Home’s teleportation skill, when the opponent wants to control her, she can immediately slip away and return to the side of Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, or one of her other teammates.

Thus, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun’s large scale fire group attack, plus Sun Shangxiang’s single fire arrow… 42CG3E

Eastern Wu Arson Group, where to go, where to burn, are they still afraid they won’t burn the opponent to death?

Of course, it is a very beautiful ideal, but reality may not necessarily go so smoothly. If the hand speed is half a second slow, you will be controlled by the opponent. Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Sun Shangxiang are all glass cannons. If they are all beaten down, it will be very bad.

When designing a powerful damage dealing card, a protective support card must also keep up with the tempo.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao’s design inspiration gradually began to take shape in Xie Mingzhe’s mind. 8XcHPN

Translator's Note

I can’t find an actual definition of the Chinese here, which was “Hot类回血”, but I did find one forum describing the Draenei’s racial healing ability from WoW as this so that should give an example for reference.

A gaming term referring to skills that trigger when the character the skill belongs to dies

Translator's Note

Chose to leave this in pinyin because it sounded awkward in English. Yu means valiant in this context, ji is an archaic word for woman, and Niangniang was the term of address for the wives of the Emperor, similar to Your Majesty.

Translator's Note

Another one that sounds awkward in English. Gong means bow (as in “bow and arrow”), yao means waist or lower back, and ji is the same ji as before.

Translator's Note

A nickname for Sun Shangxiang

Translator's Note

Exploding damage is a concept mainly from tabletop gaming. Generally how it works is that when you roll the maximum number on a die (or in this case, kill an opponent), you can then roll that die again and add the number to your previous total, repeating until you no longer roll max. It’s a chain reaction that continues to add additional damage until the condition is no longer met, just like Sun Shangxiang’s attack skill.
