How to Play with Zhang Liao in Code Name: Killer Introduction to Zhang Liao's Card Gameplay in the Code Name: Killer Mobile Game

Zhang Liao's image varies in many Three Kingdoms games, but what they all have in common is his portrayal as a brave and skilled warrior. This makes him one of the historical famous generals. In the card game Code: Kill, Zhang Liao is a new creation. The charm of Zhang Liao in Code: Kill is significant, but this has little to do with his practical combat value. Currently, his skills also depend on the environment.

In Code: Kill, Zhang Liao is depicted as a general card with 6 health points initially and two unique skills. His appearance is quite similar to his historical prototype. His first skill, Freedom to Stop Crying, allows Zhang Liao to cleverly take one hand card from another character at the beginning of each turn, while preventing that character from using the crucial Invincible card during this turn. It should be emphasized that when Zhang Liao uses the Freedom to Stop Crying skill, the character whose card is taken does not completely lose the Invincible card; instead, it cannot be directly selected and used during Zhang Liao's turn.

However, this does not mean it becomes useless. On the contrary, players can convert it into other types of cards to play. This ingenious design retains the usability of the card and adds to the subsequent card-playing strategies in the game. Since Invincible is often used to remove key control effects or trick cards, if the opponent cannot use it in time, it means Zhang Liao can more effectively maintain control over the situation or put greater pressure on the enemy. Additionally, this skill has some selectivity; Zhang Liao can only take cards from characters who have hand cards, which requires players to choose the most suitable target for the attack.

Zhang Liao's second skill is called White Wolf Holding Banner, and its effect is quite unique. At the beginning of each turn, Zhang Liao gains the ability to mark one character. This mark is not just a simple decoration but carries deep strategic significance. Once a character is marked by Zhang Liao, any character who attacks the marked character with a kill will receive an additional hand card as a reward. The key here is that the character who draws the card is the one who plays the kill, not the one who receives the kill.

If Zhang Liao marks a key enemy character, then the enemy player, when attacking this marked character, must not only consider how to effectively hit the target but also weigh whether they are willing to expose more tactical intentions due to the extra hand card. However, it should be noted that if Zhang Liao dies after marking a character, the mark from White Wolf Holding Banner will disappear, and its effect will no longer continue. This setting requires players to ensure their own safety first when using Zhang Liao.

Another easily overlooked detail is that when the marked character is attacked with a kill, the action of drawing a card occurs before triggering other related skills, such as the consecutive kill effect of Zhuge Liang's Crossbow. This means that even if the attacker has only one kill, with Zhuge Liang's Crossbow equipped, they might still be able to continue the consecutive kills by drawing an extra hand card through White Wolf Holding Banner. Of course, when using White Wolf Holding Banner, players need to be careful not to mistakenly mark their teammates, as the effect of the mark is aimed at the attacker of the marked character, not the marked character itself. Therefore, before marking, players need to ensure that their choice aligns with the team's needs.

This concludes the introduction on how to play Zhang Liao in Code: Kill. Zhang Liao's skills are actually quite suitable for use as a main general, but it is recommended that this card be played by experienced players alone. There are many situations where his skill mechanics can be utilized, making it a relatively complex card.
