Just after reading the announcement of this balance adjustment, my first reaction was that the ecology of Zongmen Arena was about to be shuffled again. In particular, the changes in the triggering conditions of the passive effects in the magic weapon system directly reduced the fault tolerance rate of the previous set of quick attack flow. My own home team has a configuration that favors control + continuous output. This wave can be regarded as reaping dividends, but it can also be clearly felt that the planners are deliberately lengthening the number of rounds of the game to allow greater room for tactical games.
But what concerns me the most is the change in the linkage mechanism of the alien beast formation. In the past, everyone was competing to see who could use the output position to fire the ultimate move first, but now they need to make more detailed plans for the rhythm of spiritual energy recovery and the timing of formation changes. Especially at high levels of the ladder, the previous mindless thinking is basically unworkable. Instead, the traditional round-based gameplay that focuses on the connection of card skills has regained its say. For players who like to study troop formations, this version is a return to the core of strategy👍
Of course it's not without its flaws. In the new version, after the marginal benefits of sect training are adjusted, the resource allocation in the mid-term will be tighter. If civilian players do not plan a breakthrough route, they will easily be crushed by equipment in the arena. I hope that more remedial mechanisms can be provided in the future, otherwise the sense of disconnection between version changes will be too strong.
In general, this change is not just a numerical addition or subtraction, but a push to transform the competitive environment from outbreak to operation. For viewers and players like me who like to watch on-the-spot decisions, this is a good thing. When the rankings stabilize in the new season, we should be able to see many unpopular lineups being developed. Then we will review some exciting games🎮
