Description: One of the most famous weapons in the Romance of Three Kingdoms story, the HEAVEN SCORCHER HALBERD was the weapon that Lu Bu 吕布 used. This weapon went through as much drama as it's owner did, such as almost becoming collateral damage in the love triangle between Lu Bu, Diao Chan 貂蝉 and Dong Zhuo 董卓. Nevertheless, it was a weapon feared by Lu Bu's enemies.
Attacking Range: 4
Special ability:
When the ATTACK 杀 card used is the last card that is on-hand, you can target up to 3 different players within your attacking range.
Characters that match this weapon best:
This is a fantastic weapon for its owner, Lu Bu. Even without this weapon, Lu Bu has a lot to be feared since 2 DODGE cards need to be used to evade his one ATTACK. Imagine when Lu Bu can strike 3 players when his ATTACK is the last card on hand. For all 3 players to evade successfully, a total of 6 DODGE cards would be been used up! The more likely scenario is all 3 players suffer damage because chances are, they would not be holding 2 DODGES on hand.
Other characters that match the HEAVEN SCORCHER HALBERD very nicely are those that have an advantage when they have as few cards on-hand as possible. These include Elder Zhu Ge Liang 暮年诸葛亮 and Lu Xun 陆逊.
approximately when will you finish translating the whole thing?
ReplyDeleteloved it, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteis it mandatory to target 3 players or can it be less?
ReplyDeleteYes it can be less. It is "up to 3", so you can target only 1 or 2 players.
ReplyDeleteIf I have this card equipped, would I need 3 attack cards to be able to attack 3 people? Or would I only need 1 attack card to attack 3 people?
ReplyDeleteOnly 1 card is enough to attack all 3.
ReplyDeleteCan you discard cards voluntarily to use this ability? Or you can only discard only up to your blood amount？ Or alternatively, maybe is it that you can choose to discard more cards, but after discard your turn is over and cannot attack.
ReplyDeleteNo, you can never discard cards voluntarily. The only time you may discard cards is at the discard phase (end) of your turn, when you need to make sure you are holding, at most, however many lives you have left. Even then, once you are holding the right amount, you may not discard any more cards. If this rule wasn't in place, Lu Xun would be able to just draw cards forever (if he chose to do so).
ReplyDeleteYes Ryan is right. The game disallows discarding of cards if on-hand cards is equal or less than existing health.
ReplyDeleteYou stated that they MUST use a dodge card, but can da qiao still deflect?
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out. It is not a must!! I have duly updated this post.
ReplyDeleteI believe its 3 additional targets...
ReplyDeleteMeaning 1(original target of ATTACK) + 3
No. That is incorrect. "指定至多三名目标" means to target at most 3 players.
ReplyDeleteIf you only have ATTACK and WINE left in your hand with this weapon equipped, can you play ATTACK with WINE and use this weapon's ability to hit up to 3 people for 2 damage each?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteYes, use WINE first, then use the last ATTACK card. Hit up to 3 people for 2 damage each
Also Liu Bei is a good character to use this weapon...
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to share...
ReplyDeleteToday I was playing the online SGS with 7 other people in the high level channel. I was emperor Liu Bei, and had a Sun Quan right beside me as the loyalist. Boy did I go berserk. I had three turns where I'd give all my cards to Sun Quan for him to redraw while I go bananas on the rebels/defector... FUN experience xD
In the online game, when Liu Bei is equipped with this weapon, he can give out all his cards to others, then use his Rouse ability (when he plays as the ruler) to let others play an ATTACK for him. Then the ATTACK played can apoint up to 3 targets.
ReplyDeletePerfect for Liu Bei and Xu Shu.
ReplyDeleteNot for revamped Xu Shu...
DeleteIf Lu Bu equips this card, can my 8 trigrams dodge it twice?
ReplyDeleteThe 8 trigrams activate twice to the two dodges that needed to be played, if the first judgement fails you'll have to play a dodge card for it to activate a second time though. Source: Android ver. of game.
