So next, comnced the official stage of the endurance battle.
Both players almost reached a state of auto-pilot.
End of Turn 3: The enemy’s three cards scratched the surface with [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] dealing 3 points of damage, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] perford [healing], resulting in [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 9/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 8/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 4, [Shy and Weak] 13/13, attack power 4 2
End of Turn 4: [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 8/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 7/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 5, [Shy and Weak] 14/14, attack power 4 4
End of Turn 5: [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 7/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 6/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 6, [Shy and Weak] 15/15, attack power 4 6
End of Turn 6: [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 6/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 5/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 7, [Shy and Weak] 16/16, attack power 4 8
When it ca to the seventh turn, a turning point began to erge.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power reached 10 points.
This ans, when facing [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] with 8 points of defense in a defensive state, it no longer just scratches.
End of Turn 7: [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 4/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 4/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 8, [Shy and Weak] 17/17, attack power 4 10
During the action phase resolution, there is actually a priority chanism.
That is, the priority of the [Attack] action is higher than the [Healing] action.
This chanism benefits and harms the healing side.
The benefit is that it can be prepared in advance, with a little strategic foresight.
That is, I guess you will attack my 10/10 card A this round, so I cast [Healing] on card A.
This round, card A takes 2 points of damage, but the lower priority [Healing] will restore those 2 points of damage.
So it’s as if card A doesn’t lose any health this round.
This way, it also doesn’t result in overflowing [Healing].
But the downside is what Li Pu is facing now.
Ah Yajun’s three cards can deal a total of 5 points of damage to the 4/10 [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] in the 8th round, bringing its health to 0.
Healing at this point will be of no use.
Because theoretically, [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] is already dead.
So end of Turn 8: [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 0/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 4/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 9, [Shy and Weak] 18/18, attack power 4 12
This situation gave Li Pu quite an insight.
[盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] in [Defense] state, 8 points of defense is actually a high value.
But without [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)]’s sustainability, the opponent’s three cards can scratch it to death in 4 turns just by relying on the scratch chanism.
This indicates that the scratch chanism should not be underestimated.
No matter how strong a card is, on the table, if it faces the siege of multiple cards, even if the strength and score difference is large, it can easily fall into a disadvantage.
It might not be evident in a 3 1 ga, but by analogy, the situation becos different when playing 6 1 or 9 1 gas in the future.
So both the quantity and sustainability of cards are crucial.
In the future, when collecting and building decks, he should consider summon-type cards and healing-type cards more.
Back to the current ga situation, at this point Li Pu remained calm and let [Shy and Weak] stay still.
So end of Turn 9: [盾盾菇 (Shield Mushroom)] at 0/10, [治愈菇 (Healing Mushroom)] at 0/10.
[Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power 3 10, [Shy and Weak] 19/19, attack power 4 14
The line-up of both sides turned into a clash of core cards.
[Holy Light Historical Man] 11 4/11, attack 13/defense 3
VS
[Shy and Weak] 19/19, attack 18/defense 1
By this point, Ah Yajun’s expression was already quite off.
Because even a novice player could see the direction of the upcoming ga.
In the next round, [Holy Light Historical Man]’s attack power will rise to 14 points, capable of dealing 13 points of damage to [Shy and Weak] in one hit.
But [Shy and Weak] has a total of 19 health points, so it will have 6 left.
Adding the attacks from [Holy Text Historical Man] and [Holy Offering Historical Man], that would be 4 remaining.
The key is, on the flip side, [Shy and Weak] can deal 18 points of damage in one hit, with 4 absorbed by the shield.
Leaving 14 points, minus [Holy Light Historical Man]’s 3 defense points, ans 11 points of damage.
Enough to one-shot it!
And that’s exactly how the ga played out.
When [Holy Light Historical Man] was taken out by [Shy and Weak], the observers couldn’t help but start talking again.
[Brother on the Opposite Side, Have rcy]: Wow, didn’t expect this situation.
[Snowflake Friends]: Haha, actually, I have already foreseen this outco.
[Floating Haha] : Haha, actually, I foresaw you would say that.
[Heaven and Earth Compassionate Man 021]: Tsk tsk tsk, the endurance battle finally has a result.
Clearly, among this group, a few were speaking in hindsight; monts ago, they said they couldn’t even do the math, yet now they act as if they had predicted it all along.
But honestly, they believe that under the sa tactics, this outco shows that Li Pu’s deck composition is more reasonable.
Because Ah Yajun’s card levels were obviously a notch higher.
D D C-C C B
The upcoming rounds were sowhat one-sided.
At the end of Round 10, the board appears as follows:
[Holy Offering Historical Man] 7/7
[Holy Text Historical Man] 10/10
VS
[Shy and Weak] 4/11
With [Shy and Weak]’s attack power now, it can one-shot just about anything.
So at the end of Round 11:
[Holy Offering Historical Man] 7/7
VS
[Shy and Weak] 2/11
So at the end of Round 12:
[Unrevealed Trump Card]
VS
[Shy and Weak] 1/11
This scenario is the worst for Ah Yajun.
In the next turn, his trump card will be automatically revealed, resolving the nuisance of [Shy and Weak].
But the problem is, [Shy and Weak] gets a free hit.
So the next sequence is pretty straightforward.
With [Shy and Weak]’s high attack of 18 points, one punch knocked out most of Ah Yajun’s trump card with 20/20 HP.
With a cautious mindset, he didn’t surrender imdiately.
Rather, he waited another turn, taking a look at Li Pu’s revealed trump card.
Maybe, with incredible luck, the opponent’s trump card might be super weak?
However, such fantasies never ca true.
Both had trump cards worth 10 points: one with critically low health, one with full health, the outco is apparent.
Ultimately, he conceded the match.
[Brother on the Opposite Side, Have rcy]: My God, 9 wins in a row already.
[Floating Haha]: Interesting, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a 10 win streak in a ranking match.
[Steak Can’t Strategize]: Guys, what do you think, if he gets a 10-win streak, what rank will he end up with?
[Snowflake Friends]: Hard to say, it depends on the rank of the final opponent, right?
Buzz...x2
Amidst the spectators’ chatter, the two players sequentially exited the match room.
