Today's online view of "Hearthstone" sent a new version of the orange card, only to find that the version of the Hearthstone Phoenix Year is coming to an end. In fact, last year's Hearthstone impressed me the most was the mercenary model. After the launch, many people are discussing whether this model is good or not. But in any case, there are indeed many liver emperor versions that will reach the full level of card liver as soon as they come out, and radish greens have their own love, or many people like it.
The other day I saw Blizzard's official live broadcast room in the live broadcast hearthstone mercenary invitational S1, I was really surprised at the time, this can also be a game? Because for me the mercenary mode is a cultivation - ladder battle, similar to the scissors stone cloth mode. It is also because the game is lucky, it is difficult to do a good job of ornamentation, before watching this game, I still have a lot of doubts about the viewing of this game, as far as I know, the world is currently engaged in the mercenary game, indicating that the difficulty is really not low.
But after watching the game, it really reversed my previous thinking. Here we can first talk about what format Hearthstone has had in its history in order to change the "close your eyes and play scissors stone cloth" gameplay.
The first is the KOF mode of the mutual BAN card deck, the biggest drawback of this format is that the luck component is large, such as if you have a slow card deck that resists the opponent's set of card player fast attacks, it may be directly a string of three. Later, there is the "Conquest Format", that is, even if you win, you have to change the deck, and each deck must win once, preventing the possibility of a string of threes.
As for the mercenary mode, one of the biggest advantages over the traditional mode is that the single card of the traditional mode card deck is not very easy to change, but the mercenary mode itself carries six mercenaries for backup, and then plays three mercenaries to fight, so the single card adjustment space is very large. So there are so many articles that can be done with this kind of play, such as - I allow you to bring seven, eight or even more alternative mercenaries?
This tournament is actually such a mode, each player has 18 mercenaries in the card pool, and the game mode still picks 6 to form a deck. You may be thinking, then I will play 3×6 directly, pick three sets of strong card sets, won't I get it? Not really, because in this game, the condition for you to defeat your opponent is for all of your opponent's mercenaries to be killed or killed.
What does that mean? That is to say, if you have 6 mercenaries in the first game, two of them are killed and 4 are still there, then first of all, these two mercenaries will never be used in this game, and the remaining four you can choose to continue to start or change in the next game, but the mercenaries who change are also considered to be killed - they can never play. You're going to play 3×6, yes, so if one of the mercenaries falls, do you have to go down to the other five funerals? This is obviously a blood loss.
In fact, this format seems to me to be an attempt at a format for mercenary competitions, and the most important thing is that there are a lot of fresh combinations! Even if you play the ladder and watch this game after hundreds of battles, you can find a sense of freshness, many things are unexpected, have not seen, feel that it is indeed a more competitive and ornamental mode.
