How Powerful is Yujie in Codename: Kill? An Analysis of Yujie's Card Strength

For those who want a card game that is easy to get into but also has deep and complex strategies, a gameplay style similar to Codename: Kill recently attracted a large number of players. Although the initial entry barrier for Codename: Kill's Yu Ji is not high, mastering this character's skills requires a significant amount of time and effort from players. The characteristic of being easy to learn but hard to master is a common point among many character cards in this game, with many techniques needing to be understood through actual play.

For beginners, facing a plethora of characters and intricate skills, it often feels overwhelming. Therefore, among the many characters, Yu Ji stands out due to her simple skill mechanism, which has garnered her a lot of fans. She possesses unique skills and an elegant image, winning the affection of many players. Yu Ji's health is relatively low, at only 4 points, but this does not diminish her influence on the battlefield. On the contrary, her first skill, Beauty, becomes an important asset for her to stand firm on the battlefield.

This skill activates when Yu Ji enters the battlefield, giving players a great deal of strategic choice. The player can designate a male character to take all damage on her behalf. This setting increases the game's strategy and interactivity. As long as another target is designated by this skill, when that target is attacked by an opponent, the health deduction will be transferred to Yu Ji, acting like a shield. Additionally, it provides 1 health point recovery for the designated character. This clever design tests the player's prediction ability and reflects the balance of character settings in the game.

Of course, there is a good way to counter this skill: if the opposing side does not use any male character cards, then the Beauty skill cannot be activated. However, because female character cards are generally not as strong as male character cards, few players use this method to counter the skill. This setting adds variability and uncertainty to the game, requiring players to make decisions more cautiously. Also, when Yu Ji is about to receive damage, if the designated male character (Overlord) has low health, the damage to Yu Ji will result in her losing health. This setting further increases the game's complexity.

The second skill, Farewell My Concubine, is another powerful skill of Yu Ji. When Yu Ji unfortunately dies, she can activate this skill, causing a male character to immediately enter a new turn. This setting breaks the traditional order of turns in card games. Specifically, when Yu Ji dies and activates the Farewell My Concubine skill, all subsequent phases and settlements of the current turn are immediately terminated. This means that no matter what actions or effects have yet to be executed or settled in the current turn, they will stop due to Yu Ji's death. Then, the game will directly start the turn of the targeted character, as if that character had just completed their own turn.

For example, in the scenario of War Flames, if Yu Ji dies for some reason, she can activate the Farewell My Concubine skill, allowing Xiang Yu to immediately enter a new turn. In this case, the role that was supposed to respond to the War Flames no longer needs to do so, as their action sequence has been interrupted and rearranged. It should be noted that after the new turn starts, the action sequence will change directly, meaning that the originally orderly game may become chaotic due to Yu Ji's death.

At this point, players need to readjust their strategies and plans to cope with this sudden situation. After the new turn ends, the game will not return to the original settlement order but will continue according to the new action sequence.

That's all for the introduction of how powerful Yu Ji is in Codename: Kill. In fact, the skill setup for Yu Ji is relatively simple. Generally, this character card is used in conjunction with other characters in multiplayer modes, where her abilities are more suitable for combat.
