Guanyu, this shining warrior saint in the long river of history, not only was known for his bravery and fearlessness at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also transformed into a powerful general of the Shu faction in the game. How about the code name "Kill Guanyu"? In fact, with his extraordinary strength, he has captivated countless players. As a card with six base health points, Guanyu's own skills are not too shabby. This card is believed to be the first one many players would exchange for after accumulating resources.
The skill "Slay from Afar" grants Guanyu an unprecedented attack range and damage boost. On the battlefield, once Guanyu initiates a kill attack, he is no longer bound by traditional attack range limitations, as if able to cross thousands of troops to directly target the enemy commander. Even more terrifying is that when Guanyu wields the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, each kill in the target's hand becomes a power-up, making what was originally a single attack instantly much more powerful. This means that in the face of Guanyu's offensive, the kills in the enemy's hand are no longer simple defensive measures. Even if other skills intervene during the kill resolution process, causing the target to gain additional kills, Guanyu can effortlessly convert these new kills into higher damage, leaving opponents caught off guard.
The Warrior Saint skill allows Guanyu to use any card in his hand as a kill, whether it’s a brilliant strategy or an equipment item, all can be turned into a lethal strike under Guanyu's dexterous hands. This skill not only greatly enriches Guanyu's attack methods but also diversifies his strategic choices. At critical moments, Guanyu can launch a surprise attack or cleverly convert card types in adversity to deal with various complex and changing battlefield situations.
So, you might consider the Black Tortoise Shield, which to some extent forms a clever synergy with the Warrior Saint skill. When Guanyu equips the Black Tortoise Shield, he can use the Warrior Saint skill to convert cards of other attributes into ordinary kills to counter the enemy's attacks. This conversion demonstrates Guanyu's flexibility on the battlefield. It is worth noting that the kills played through the Warrior Saint skill, regardless of their original form, will ultimately be considered as ordinary attribute kills. This means that even kills originally with fire or lightning attributes, after being converted by the Warrior Saint skill, will lose their special effects and become the most basic attack method.
Although the Warrior Saint skill gives Guanyu the ability to convert equipment cards into kills, this conversion is not unconditional. Among the many pieces of equipment, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is famous for its unique automatic trigger mechanism, yet it is not affected by the Warrior Saint skill. Even if Guanyu equips this crossbow, he cannot use the Warrior Saint skill to play it as a kill. This is because the design intent of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is to automatically and continuously play all cards that are originally of the kill attribute, and it has no direct relation to the non-native kill attribute cards converted by the Warrior Saint skill.
In addition to the above two skills, Guanyu also possesses a limited-use skill called "Flood the Seven Armies," which allows him to discard three water-attribute cards to force another character to discard all their hand cards and equipment, and additionally suffer one point of ordinary damage. However, the conditions for using this skill are relatively strict, requiring Guanyu to have enough water-attribute cards in hand, and once used, it cannot be triggered again in the same game. Despite this, "Flood the Seven Armies" can still produce unexpected effects in specific situations, especially when facing well-equipped or resource-rich opponents. A successful "Flood the Seven Armies" can often instantly change the course of battle.
Although Guanyu's skill set may seem lacking in certain aspects, especially in terms of high damage output or frequent triggering of damage boosts, he shows unique advantages in the 1V2 game mode of Landlord. In this mode, Guanyu can leverage his main skill of using any card as a kill, combined with the flexible use of the Warrior Saint skill on equipment cards, to effectively suppress the enemy. Additionally, due to the relatively limited resources of both sides in the Landlord mode, Guanyu's "Flood the Seven Armies" skill is easier to find suitable targets and timing, thus delivering a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Now, everyone knows how the code name "Kill Guanyu" is, right? Although Guanyu may not stand out in overall card strength, he is still a very strong character in specific game environments and strategies. The applicable modes for this card have also been introduced above, so you can try them out in the corresponding modes.
