Low-level earth elentals are not considered rare magic creatures.
In dungeons related to the Elental Realm, and even certain environnts on Blue Star assimilated by elental creatures, various low-level elental creatures are likely to appear.
Earth elentals are quite common among elental creatures, so many people are familiar with low-level earth elentals, as well as their cards.
In fact, even these two veteran players have [Low-level Earth Elental] cards in their hands.
And not just earth elentals, but also elentals of tal, wood, water, and fire.
However, with the recent update, all cards have undergone changes.
Therefore, the new [Low-level Earth Elental] is sothing they naturally haven’t seen before.
At this mont, everyone, including Wei Zhentian x6, is drawn to Li Pu’s play area, focusing on his cards.
[Low-level Earth Elental] -10 points, D
10/10
Attack 3, Defense 4
[Earth Elental Aura]: Low-level earth elental boosts defense 3 to one allied card directly in front.
"Ah, this..."
Wei Zhentian x6 was slightly stunned.
A D-grade card, with only a single straightforward piece of information.
But this one piece of information left him perplexed.
Even though both sides’ card formations are supposed to be secret, he inexplicably feels that he’s fallen into soone else’s trap.
His Chicken-headed Man can reduce target’s defense by 2, but now the opponent directly plays a card that increases the target’s defense by 3.
This results in mutual cancellation, and not only does the Mushroom Man not lose any defense, it actually gains 1 point of defense.
[Brother on the Opposite Side, Spare ]: Uh... it’s indeed quite a coincidence.
[Snowflake Friends]: Is this considered an aura-type card? It’s gotten pretty good after the update.
[Floating Floats Hehe]: Seems really nice, I’ll have to check my elental cards.
Chirp!
With the appearance of [Low-level Earth Elental], a soil-yellow light descends from the sky onto [Shield Mushroom].
Then the soil-yellow glow flows over it like a stream.
Taking another look at the card information, Defense has changed to 4 3.
[Big Mushroom Impressive!]
The Mushroom Man releases a puff of hot air from its nose, showing a fierce yet cute expression.
Having received reinforcent from the new power, its aura seems to have changed.
Soon, the action turn arrives.
[Mushroom Impressive!]
The Mushroom Man points majestically at the opponent’s card arrangent, shouting words of unknown aning.
I must say, this action is quite powerful.
Even its crouching and head-hugging move is so stylish.
Indeed, no matter how bravely [Shield Mushroom] presents itself, its duty is [Defense].
[Eat My Old Pig’s Two Punches!]
[Eat My Old Chicken’s Bat!]
The two beast-headed n from the opponent’s side almost simultaneously launch attacks on the Mushroom Man.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
[Mushroom Pain!]
It looks like this wave of attacks is quite threatening, and the Mushroom Man screams loudly and miserably.
But actually, it only loses 3 points of life in total, which isn’t really that damaging.
There’s no choice; after all, the Chicken-headed Man’s defense penalty of -2 takes effect next turn.
However, the sli’s defense boost of 3 has already taken effect.
This leaves the Mushroom Man with 14 points of defense in [Defense] mode, making the opponent’s attacks re scratches.
Even if the defense penalty of -2 takes effect, the Mushroom Man will still have 10 points of defense, aning even next turn it’s just scratchwork for the opponent.
It’s clear that Wei Zhentian x6’s aggressive tactics have hit a tough spot up to now.
[Pop Pop Pop~!]
After the opponent finishes attacking, Li Pu’s sli takes action.
Instead, Li Pu’s sli launches a powerful charge, sending the 1-defense Pig-headed Man flying.
Though it’s all projections with no physical entities, the realistic effect makes it look like it’s about to roll off the table.
[Whee Whee Whee!]
When it climbs back to its spot in its card lineup, it has already lost 2 health points.
"Tch..."
This situation makes Wei Zhentian x6 furrow his brows imdiately.
Clearly, his deck is based on aggressive strategies, but this turn, in terms of health lost, it’s -3 against -2, gaining only 1 point of health advantage.
[Brother on the Opposite Side, Spare ]: Co on, show so effort, didn’t you say you’d finish them in 3 turns!
Obviously, as Li Pu’s defeated foe, Brother Spare isn’t thrilled with today’s result.
[Snowflake Friends]: It seems his aggressive tactics may not yield good results.
[Floating Floats Hehe]: Indeed, it looks like the [Defense] chanic has caused aggressive tactics to fall out of favor.
[Snowflake Friends]: That’s not entirely true—it’s mainly because the opponent’s cards happen to counter his deck, otherwise it wouldn’t be like this.
Both of these people are seasoned veterans in the card circle, and aggressive strategies existed even before the update.
The essence of aggressive strategies is to seize the initiative.
Simply put, it’s about using speed-oriented attack thods to quickly remove the opponent’s cards from the field, forming a favorable position of many against few.
The worst scenario for this strategy is prolonged stalemate.
Investing too many points in attacks often results in poor survivability.
Once caught in a stalemate, weaknesses in stamina or survival will beco apparent.
In short rapid gas like 3 1, the effect might be good, but in subsequent higher-tier rounds with more cards, it’s hard to say.
Yet in high-tier rounds, players may not display a single tactical style in their complete deck but rather a mix of multiple strategies.
Returning to the current match, originally the appearance of the Chicken-headed Man could effectively break the opponent’s tank card’s [Defense] status.
However, Li Pu’s elental card stopped this attempt.
"I admit your card combination is brilliant, but it’s still too early to say who wins or loses!"
At this point, Wei Zhentian x6 changed his tone at the card table.
Earlier he said he’d hold the absolute advantage in 3 turns, but now he’s saying it’s still uncertain who will win.
Nevertheless, saying this indicates he still has confidence in his deck.
Next, it’s the card reveal phase again, with both sides revealing their third cards.
[Bang Bang!]
Li Pu still reveals his 13-point card, Aphid Gun, with a tube-like muzzle.
With two defense-oriented cards already, if a third attack card doesn’t appear, the output capacity would feel inadequate.
[Brother on the Opposite Side, Spare ]: This card again.
[Snowflake Friends]: Nice, makes sense.
[Floating Floats Hehe]: Wow, great card!
The only audience mber who hasn’t seen this card before exclaid.
There are only 4 cards total in a 3 1 match, and [Aphid Gun] can attack two cards in one go, so it’s a great card.
However, what Li Pu didn’t expect is... his opponent revealed a 14-point card, 1 point more than his [Aphid Gun].
[Here Cos Grandpa Sheep!]
The projection style is similar to the previous two; this ti it’s a sheep-headed man holding a big rake.
"This..."
Li Pu read its information completely, his expression turning slightly serious.
Suddenly, it feels like dealing with this will be tough.
