Dian Wei, as a renowned fierce general of the Three Kingdoms period, can be said to be an absolutely illustrious figure. In the game Code: Kill, the character card he represents also exhibits a domineering effect. Today, we can delve into how strong Dian Wei is in Code: Kill together. The essence of playing Dian Wei in Code: Kill actually lies in the combination effects of cards and other equipment skill cards.
This formidable general from the Wei faction, Dian Wei, initially has six health points, which is quite substantial among many generals, providing him with a solid foundation for survival, much like being set as a front-liner in many games. His first skill, Ancient Evil Comes, endows him with astonishing burst damage and sustained combat capability. Whenever Dian Wei takes damage, this skill is triggered, increasing the damage he deals next by 1 point. It's important to note that this damage increase does not take effect immediately but is reflected all at once when Dian Wei deals damage next, and before that, all damage increases will accumulate.

This means that if Dian Wei receives multiple damages without attacking, then when he finally attacks, his attack will basically be effective in reducing the opponent's health. However, it needs to be particularly pointed out that the damage increase effect of Ancient Evil Comes only takes effect on Dian Wei's next attack, not simply adding to the next card played. Therefore, when using group attack cards like Volley of Arrows, only the first character who does not play a dodge will suffer high damage from Dian Wei, while other characters will not be affected by this skill.
However, even so, this does not mean that Dian Wei cannot pose a threat to multiple enemies. With the right strategy and making good use of the damage increase mechanism of Ancient Evil Comes, Dian Wei is fully capable of changing the course of battle in a short time. Additionally, although the damage increase effect of Ancient Evil Comes is limited to the next attack, it can create a wonderful synergy with another trick card in the game, Iron Chain Link. When Dian Wei is in a state connected by chains, the damage he inflicts on a target will be conducted to other connected characters according to the chain order. This means that even if Dian Wei can only deal damage to one enemy, it may affect more enemies through the conduction effect of the chains, achieving a one-to-many strike effect.

Dian Wei's second skill is called Chasing Tiger Across the Stream, allowing Dian Wei to exchange positions with another character under specific conditions and inflict damage on nearby characters. When using this skill, you can choose to discard a weapon card and then designate another character to swap places with. After swapping, you deal 1 point of damage to another character within 1 distance of you. However, the activation of this skill requires certain conditions to be met, and once successfully triggered, it offers a tactical advantage.
To activate Chasing Tiger Across the Stream, you need to first discard a weapon card in your hand. This step actually requires careful consideration, as you need to weigh the risks and benefits of giving up a weapon. After discarding the weapon card, you can immediately select any other character on the field and swap places with them. This swap is immediate and obvious, with all players clearly seeing the change in seat numbers. It's worth noting that the distance calculation here is based on the new position after the swap.

After exchanging positions, you can deal 1 point of damage to another character within 1 distance. Here, "within 1 distance" refers to the target character being within Dian Wei's attack range in the new position. Since the coordinates have been changed through the position swap, this distance might differ from before. Although the position swap does not affect the action order of the current round, it will impact every subsequent round. Starting from the next round, the action order will be determined based on the latest seat numbers.

Through the above introduction, everyone should now understand how strong Dian Wei is in Code: Kill. Although this character is still designed as a card that leans towards heavy defense, the key here is strategy rather than just raw skill values. So, his skills combined with the effects of other trick cards are definitely impressive.
