4th month, 18th day, the matchups for S3 were announced.
Trash Alliance VS Heaven’s Gate, underworld frontline VS order.
Because these four teams were all popular favorites to win the championship, there wasn’t much to complain about. In any case, no matter how they matched up, it would still be a match between the strong, so the audience had no reason to say that it was shady.
However, the introduction of the “divine weapon” had indeed made the situation even more interesting.
The effects of these four artifacts were as follows:
[Crown]: all enemy units that enter the battlefield will be affected by the king’s deterrence effect. All targets affected by the effect will have their Life Points reduced by a percentage until they die. [King’s intimidation’s damage can not be blocked by any effect other than the effect of the divine equipment, including the battlefield barrier.]
[Holy Grail]: all members of my side will receive the special effect of “blessing of God’s blood” after entering the battlefield. If the target affected by it does not suffer any damage for 10 seconds, a “energy shield of God’s blood” will automatically be generated around the target. This shield can resist or eliminate a special effect (including the effect of a divine artifact) that the opponent has cast on my side.
[Philosopher’s Stone]: periodically releases the special effect of “turn stone into gold” to all enemies who enter the battlefield. Once every 30 seconds, the affected targets ‘equipment, skills, and items will be buffed with a “value increase” BUFF. This BUFF will increase the “quality” and “usage/equipment requirements” of the item/skill, but the special effect will remain unchanged (this effect can only be removed by the effect of a divine artifact). When the item/skill’s usage/equipment requirements exceed the user’s ability, it will be nullified or unable to be activated.
[Amulet]: all members of my side will receive the special effect of “divine protection” after entering the battlefield. When my team members are affected by the opponent’s lasting ability (including the effect of a divine artifact), the effects of reduction and damage will be reflected, and the effects of gain will be retained and strengthened.
From the information given by the officials, the restraining relationship between divine artifacts was still relatively obvious.
The [crown] was definitely the bane of the [Holy Grail], because the [King’s intimidation] could start to cut the enemy’s HP from the first second they entered the battlefield. The continuous damage that could not be blocked by the player’s own means was equivalent to nullifying the divine blood’s gift.
On the other hand, the Holy Grail was the bane of the Philosopher’s Stone. The sacred-blood energy shield could nullify the increase in value of the stone, and the energy shield was generated more frequently than the increase in value.
Next, it was the [Philosopher’s Stone] that countered the [amulet]. Not only could the [divine right protection] not nullify the [value increase] effect, but it would also make it stronger.
However, because “divine right’s protection” could reflect and reduce damage, when the [amulet] encountered the [crown], it was a complete counter-suppression.
Finally, he looked at the cross-comparison …[Crown] and [Philosopher’s Stone],[Holy Grail] and [amulet], there was no obvious restraint between them. They could work together.
That was the information about the divine weapon. Although it could not be said that the restraint would guarantee victory, the great advantage … At least it could make up for the gap in hard power to a large extent.
Thus, in this round of battle, the choice of divine artifact was the key to victory.
According to the rules, the [door to heaven] that got the vacant spot in the last round didn’t have the right to participate in the distribution of the godly items.
Let’s talk about the other three teams.
First of all, because waste Alliance was the second fastest in the last round, they had the right to be the first to get a God artifact.
This kind of brainwashing work was naturally left to ambitionist. After some careful consideration, he finally chose the [Philosopher’s Stone] for his team, the [protection talisman] for [Heaven’s Gate], and the [Holy Grail] for [order].
Ambitionist’s idea was very clear. He wanted to reduce the possibility of his team being “restrained” as much as possible (in any case, it was impossible to completely eliminate it in theory, so he could only reduce it).
How to reduce it? The distribution he had made was the best answer …
Ambitionist didn’t just want to settle the score with his team, he also wanted to settle the score with order.
After trash Alliance was chosen, the initiative would fall into order’s hands. Although order could choose whether to swap out the God equipment of door to heaven, this trade wouldn’t change their fate of being ‘restrained’. Because Hell’s frontline, who was the first to finish in the last round (according to normal logic), would eventually get a God equipment that restrained order.
Thus,[order] ‘s choice this time was actually just to decide whether it would be cursed with the [Holy Grail] or the [talisman].
If the [Holy Grail] was left behind, the entire battlefield would be affected by the DOT effect of continuous HP loss. As for the [amulet]… In a battle, as time passed, all the items and skills would gradually become useless. Moreover, because of the effect of the divine artifact, the process of being useless would be accelerated.
Comparing the two, it was clearly better to keep the [Holy Grail] in this evenly matched confrontation.
With that in mind … Order naturally chose not to trade.
Of course,[order] could also choose to trade by force. After the trade, they would get the [amulet], and the [door to heaven] would get the [Holy Grail]. In order to counter [order],[Hell’s front] would definitely use [the crown] in exchange for the [Philosopher’s Stone] from [trash Alliance]. If that happened, the final outcome would be …[Trash Alliance] would use [the crown] to counter [the Holy Grail] from [door to heaven], while [Hell’s front] would use [the Philosopher’s Stone] to counter [order’s
In other words, no matter what, trash Alliance and Hell’s frontline would be the counter while the other two teams would be the counter.
There was only one way for trash Alliance to be suppressed, and that was … Regardless of whether order was changed or not, underworld frontline would force themselves to be the suppressed party and drag trash Alliance down with them.
No matter how crazy Feng bujue was, there was no reason for him to do something like that …
It was one thing to use madness to cover up a reasonable strategy, a certain belief, or an intention. It was another thing to do illogical and stupid actions in order to appear crazy.
Therefore, the final situation was in line with ambitionist’s plan.
The Philosopher’s Stone would be built in the [waste Alliance].[Door to heaven] and [amulet];[Underworld frontline] established [crown]; The distribution of the set of divine artifacts,[order] and [Holy Grail], began …
