In Code Name: Kill, the strength of a general often directly determines the outcome of the game for players. To help players better understand and master the strengths of each general, I will gradually introduce the general cards that interest everyone. Today, you can clearly understand the effects of Yuan Shao's card in Code Name: Kill. Of course, with updates to the game version, balance adjustments, and the accumulation of player experience, the skills and playstyles of these generals may also change.
Among many generals, Yuan Shao's three skills work together to create extremely favorable conditions for elimination. Therefore, he is widely recognized as a top-tier general in terms of strength. His first skill, Four Generations of Three Ducal Titles, is particularly impressive. This skill grants him an initial +4 hand size and a +3 hand limit. The effect is very straightforward and powerful. At the beginning of the game, Yuan Shao can have more cards than other generals, which means he has more resources and opportunities to launch attacks, defend, or execute other card strategies. Meanwhile, the increase in hand limit ensures that he can maintain his hand size better, avoiding being at a disadvantage due to insufficient cards.

The second skill, Million Mighty Soldiers, is another powerful ability of Yuan Shao. This skill is activated at the beginning of the card-playing phase. As long as Yuan Shao has the most cards on the field, he can convert tactic cards in his hand into a "Barrage of Arrows." It's important to note that the condition for activating this skill is not strict; as long as Yuan Shao has one of the highest number of cards, whether it's because he originally had more cards or increased his hand limit through some means, such as equipment cards, he can use this skill. This design allows Yuan Shao to be more flexible in using his card resources in the game.

In addition to Million Mighty Soldiers, Yuan Shao's third skill, Elegance of the Turban, is also noteworthy. Every time he plays 3 equipment cards, his hand limit increases by 1, and this effect lasts until the end of the game. This means that as the game progresses, Yuan Shao's hand limit will continue to rise, allowing him to hold more and more cards. This not only increases Yuan Shao's resource pool but also makes him better able to handle various challenges and difficulties in the later stages of the game.
Yuan Shao indeed performs well in Code Name: Kill. He starts with 5 health points, providing him with a certain level of survivability on the battlefield. Except for a few special-ability generals, Yuan Shao's hand size is almost always among the highest. As long as he has tactic cards and the most cards on the field, he can convert these tactic cards into the powerful "Barrage of Arrows," which not only deals heavy damage to enemies but also quickly depletes the number of cards on the field, creating favorable conditions for subsequent attacks.

When all characters are forced to respond to the "Barrage of Arrows," their hand sizes are significantly reduced, making it easier for Yuan Shao to deal damage with "Kill" in the following rounds. It's worth noting that Yuan Shao does not have a clear faction bias; his skills work against all characters, making him especially outstanding in the rebel faction. As a rebel, Yuan Shao can fully utilize his skills to deplete the "Dodge" cards held by the lord and loyalists. If the situation is unclear, Yuan Shao can also choose to stockpile high-quality cards and wait for the best opportunity to act. He can take advantage of the increased hand limit to keep some key "Peaches" or "Wines" for critical moments, to save his teammates.

Now, you know how effective Yuan Shao's card is in Code Name: Kill. In summary, Yuan Shao is a general suitable for every player. His skills are simple and easy to understand, requiring little thought and preparation to unleash powerful combat effectiveness. Whether you're a newcomer or an experienced player, you can easily get started with Yuan Shao and enjoy the fun of the game.
