Abyssal Soul - ローグライクカードRPG

The opponent was an enemy I hadn't seen in a while, so I was cautious, but the card I held in my hand for the first time was quite powerful, dealing an unexpected 4-digit damage. It was the highest damage I'd ever dealt in the game, so I was fighting with excitement, thinking, 'Wow, I've never seen 4-digit damage before!😆'. I excitedly started recording a video, thinking it might capture some good footage for PlayPick, but then... For some reason, I took an overkill of 3521 damage to 'myself'!! 工ｴｴｪｪ(´д｀)ｪｪｴｴ工 After continuing and frantically checking, I found out the adjacent card had a 'Frenzy' curse effect: All damage dealt by adjacent cards is forcibly directed towards yourself. It was an effect I'd never seen before!?😂 It was a classic case of overconfidence leading to a blunder. I had plenty of opportunities to swap cards, and if I had just ended my turn, the auto-attack would have defeated the enemy, but I did something unnecessary instead 💦 So, the highest single-hit damage I've dealt in this game is 3521 damage to myself!🤣

In this game, when you defeat enemies, you can obtain cards. Sometimes, you'll get cards with the 'Dispel' effect (deleted from your deck after use). These Dispel cards often have powerful effects, but since they disappear after one use, you might think, 'I want to save this for the boss...' However, if you save them, they can end up being dead cards that clog up your deck because you can't use them along the way. That's why I recommend the rune 'Afterimage Rune'! 😆 'Afterimage Rune' is a rune you can engrave on cards. It has the effect: 'When combat begins: Copy this card twice and add it to your deck.' If you apply this to a Dispel card! 【Each time combat starts, 2 copies of the Dispel card will be added to your hand!】 Since you can use copied cards freely, you can utilize powerful Dispel cards in every battle! (Don't use the original card! 🙅) This single rune allows your powerful Dispel cards, which you tend to save, to be incredibly useful throughout your journey. If you get a chance to engrave it, we highly recommend applying it to your Dispel cards first! ☺️

The enrage ability, counter-attack, and battlefield effects were so strong I died once, but I managed to recover using just one revive card! I defeated her by triggering the lava form Blue Jazz, which I'd powered up to 2500 damage, at full firepower! Glad I could beat her within 5 turns. The enemy's enhanced attack power gets higher with each passing turn, so if you don't defeat them quickly, things get really bad. I guess it's better not to have too many cards. Until the discarded Blue Shield returns to the deck, I have to take direct hits from enemy attacks. Well, I cleared it with Warrior, so maybe I'll try Sorcerer or Musician next.

Re-challenging 'Cocoon King・Candice' on Nightmare difficulty with『Little Knight』! I was filming a video for PlayPick, but it exceeded 15 minutes and the file size reached 712MB 😅. Reflecting on that, I'll summarize the flow of this intense battle! 【Turns 1-2】 First, I used 'Rune of Sanity' to increase the formation limit and 'Banish Gem' to remove the enemy's troublesome abilities. I debated what to remove, but decided on 'Heart of Vengeance'. I started nurturing Blue Jazz+ with cards like 'Full Power+', while also using 'Full Power+' not just to trigger attacks but also to manage and leave defensive cards within the formation. I destroyed unnecessary cards in hand with 'Sling' to organize. 【Turn 3】 Blue Jazz+ ended up in the discard pile, so I endured by discarding cards with 'Sling' until it returned. Utilizing the artifact's effect that refines a random attack card every 2 turns, I successfully broke through the first stage! Continued in comments!

I finally got the 'Spirit Master,' a type of 'Wuxia' character I've been curious about, through the shop exchange! ☺️ In this game, there are support cards called 'Summon Cards' that, once activated, provide continuous effects throughout the battle. This Wuxia-type Spirit Master seems to have abilities specialized for these Summon Cards. The unique trait of this character is: 'The cost of the first Summon Card used each turn is nullified.' When using a card with a cost, you normally need to discard a certain number of cards from your hand to pay for it. However, if it's the first card of the turn, it seems like the cost becomes completely zero. The 'White Crow (Cost 1)' in the starting deck has the effect of 'Gain 1 Yang point at the start of each turn,' and the 'Two-Colored Turtle (Cost 2)' has the effect of 'On Conversion: Gain temporary HP equal to the converted points.' It's great that just by playing these onto the field for free (cost 0), you can secure resources and maintain solid defense with temporary HP, even without dedicated defensive cards. However, while summoned cards automatically attack, which is reassuring, I'm a bit concerned that they might attack even in situations where you'd prefer them not to, like when you need to hold back. 🤔

In abyssal soul, you can exchange points earned from quests for various items in the shop. However, there's a rule: the maximum points you can hold is '1000 points per week'. If you complete all quests and save up points without spending them, they'll go to waste 💦 So, we recommend spending your points down to below 1000 before Monday 5:00 AM each week!

I lowered the difficulty to Nightmare from the 3rd floor of Nightmare, and challenged Moon Cocoon Candice, but I was defeated. However, I saw a path to victory during the fight. First, 'Master of Time' seems to be like a damage cap to avoid short battles, so it seems necessary to endure a bit without rushing. Next, since the effect of 'Blessing Recovery' can be chosen from three options, it seems best to prioritize removing unnecessary blessings that take effect at the start of combat or during the battle. And on turns with 'Vengeful Heart', it's important not to force an attack and to keep your hand size to 3 cards. The reason for defeat in this battle is clear: I was so worried about Blessing Recovery that I chose 'Blessing Collector' first. This effect allows you to gain additional blessings by defeating bosses and elites, but as a drawback, your maximum HP decreases by -3 each time you add a blessing, which made it impossible to cope when I couldn't draw armor. Also, it was bad that I couldn't draw a blue shield because I had too many cards. For now, it seems like there are no hand-discarding attacks from the opponent, so it seems better to run a lean deck in the future.

Speaking of which, I've posted about fighting "Moon Cocoon Candice" before, but I realized I never wrote about the conditions to make it appear. It seems it doesn't show up just by playing normally. You need to obtain the "Key of Time" found along the way and forge it using "Soul Crystals" to create the "Restored Key of Time"! (I don't know the appearance conditions based on difficulty. I fought it on Nightmare Layer 3.) This is probably the condition to fight Candice. Since the final stage quest of the current collaboration event should be to defeat Moon Cocoon Candice with "The Little Knight," I hope this helps.

I've summarized some of Candice's notable skills from Moon Cocoon. (From Nightmare Floor 3) 【Phase 1】 『Master of Time』 Effect: Moon Cocoon Candice's HP cannot be reduced below 400. Each turn that passes, the lower limit decreases by 160. → A brutal endurance skill that applies an HP stopper until the turn passes. No matter how much damage you deal, you can only chip away to a certain point, making a quick victory difficult and forcing a long battle. 『Blessing Recovery』 Effect: Displays up to 3 random enemy blessings, and the enemy chooses one to remove. → A nuisance card that whittles down our blessings. If a key blessing is removed, the battle situation could collapse instantly. 『Vengeful Heart』 Effect: Every time the enemy activates 4 cards, they activate the rightmost card and draw 1 card to replenish. → A skill that counters based on our card usage count. It's a strong meta against decks that play many cards per turn. 『Enhanced Attack』 Effect: Deals 28 damage. Damage +9 until the end of battle. 『Consecutive Attack』 Effect: Deals 14x3 damage. → Our max HP is around 83, so this is quite tough.

Defeated by Moon Cocoon Candice at the deepest part of Nightmare Floor 3 with my little knight...! Isn't she too strong? 😱 I can manage with strong parameters, but the conditions to land hits are just too strict 💦 I beat the first phase, but how am I supposed to break through from here... I'm definitely getting revenge!
