Preface

Lin Xiaoyue's strongest builds use fortune cards to win. They are, of course, a matter of fortune; play Sword Intent or Cloud Sword normally, and pivot when the fortune comes. The fortune builds that can stand alone are enumerated in this guide.

Every screenshot that follows is from ladder; none is theoretical.

Curiosity can give Talisman and Spiritual Pet cards of any phase up to your current phase. Unlike the Fortunes and Luck Immortal Fate, Curiosity can't give cards of a higher phase (so the highest you can ever get are Incarnation cards), and it also can't give Secret Enchantment cards.

I. Black Silver Armor Sword Formation

The strongest fortune build when it comes together, with no requirements as to side job. If you find Black Silver Armor in Round 1, I recommend Painter, but it's playable with any side job. Rather than side job, the most important thing is to amass all the cards.

Best Immortal Fates are Sword Formation Guard, Foundation-phase Store Qi, Inheritance of Sword Formation (except at Foundation phase).

The ideal is like this:


Turn one 72 DEF, and still potential for upgrade

The ideal Black Silver Armor Sword Formation wins easily on turn three. But it's difficult to assemble, relying entirely on luck. If you already found Black Silver Armor, why not take a gamble?

Earlier on, don't use Black Silver Armor much (with Sword Formation Guard, turn one Black Silver Armor) or put it after another DEF card. Don't exchange much in Immortality phase, save it for Incarnation phase. If you feel like you can't protect your Destiny, pick Cat Soul Bless, Recuperate, etc.; survival is the most important thing.

Multiple Black Silver Armors won't much affect strength; keep two at most (at any rate, I've gotten three). Keeping one is also fine; survival is the most important thing.

Without Sword Formation Guard and Foundation-phase Store Qi, the deck's strength is so-so, only advantaged against the slowest opposing decks. Sword Formation Guard can stack; with two, you can dispense with Moon Water Sword Formation; just one Incarnation-phase Sword Formation Guard, plus Store Qi, also allows turn-three win.


Turn one 58 DEF, single Sword Formation Guard three-turn kill

Without Sword Formation Guard, then when matched up against high-DPS decks like Polaris / Wood Elixirist / etc., it's usually just AFK and wait to lose. With Sword Formation Guard, for the weak to beat the strong is nothing to speak of. If you can't win, it's only because you don't have enough Sword Formation Guard(s), or enough deck quality!

Now I'll show everyone my collection of Black Silver Armor Sword Formation games!

It's pretty much all me, meow


Bullying 红玉 with single Sword Formation Guard and plants (Bilibili has video, over three million DEF in recap mode, just search 玄银甲)


Plant Master DEF! Except double Sword Formation Guard, meow~~


Double Sword Formation Guard double Armor, can fight even first-moving Polaris


Plant DEF double Sword Formation Guard


Single Sword Formation Guard Musician. If I hadn't picked Musician, would the Bracelet defend completely?


Shadow Owl Rabbit Musician Sword Formation! Pity not enough quality to get first place


Painter Sword Formation


by 龙瑶好美好喜欢, Rabbit double Armor single Sword Formation Guard，EXODIA~~


Hehe, Senior Brother also has Rabbit Black Silver Armor Sword Formation Guard


Opponent deals damage too slow, even without dog can freely win


Opponent scales too slowly

With Sword Formation Guard, you can upset heaven and change fate to defeat high-DPS decks; without Sword Formation Guard, you're just muddling along, hoping your opponents all have slow decks.

Having seen all this, don't you want to play Black Silver Armor Sword Formation Cat, meow?

II. Shadow Owl Rabbit and Colorful Spirit Crane

Shadow Owl Rabbit is assuredly strong, its speed-up capability incomparable. Best is Rabbit Sword Intent. The trouble with Colorful Spirit Crane is that it's slow; it can never get you to a two-turn win. And it only works with Dharma / Egret. But regardless, these two cards are both very strong Spiritual Pet support cards.


Plain and simple, but a bullying machine.


Rabbit Crane, can turn-three win, but let's not talk about it too much, a missed easy win, even now I can call to mind the particulars of the guessing game. Regret.


Modded card pictures at the time. But don't mistake it, ladder, Rabbit vs. Finishing Touch + Ice Spirit Guard Elixir + Covert Shift.


A game from long ago.


No Cloud Sword, ay.


Turn-three possible, but I don't know why I chose four, it was long ago.


Rabbit spectating from the bench.


160 in three turns.

Shadow Owl Rabbit Sword Intent is probably too common, so I didn't save them. Remember that Rabbit costs HP, win sooner if you can. Many people like to shift their damage earlier against Rabbit, combining with the Rabbit's HP deduction to kill sooner. In these situations, react flexibly and sideline the Rabbit.

III. Blood Crystal of Wolf King

lv.1 Blood Crystal of Wolf King = lv.max Cloud Sword - Moon Shade, without needing Cloud Hit. Since the HP deduction is percentage-based, the lower the phase, the smaller the deduction. Put it before your damage cards, don't play it turn one followed by defensive cards, let the opponent do some damage before it comes out, every point of HP counts. A couple more HP may win it.


First time getting it, don't know how to play it. Here, with Distubing Fulu, it's already lethal on turn four.


Rabbit!

IV. Other fortune cards

Strongest is surely Brocade Rat, even a cat can dream of going first. Finding Brocade Rat with Catnip in hand, you can feed it to the rat immediately. First-moving Sword Intent is very, very strong.

Below are Incarnation Talisman cards: Nether Seal Evil Signet, Dark Crystal Heart Shield, Bow of Hunting Rabbit


A win in recap mode is a win (cat charm activate)


A win in recap mode is a win, accept it; this win is due to the combo of Dried small fish and Dark Crystal Heart Shield


A wee little Guard Elixir is nothing to be afraid of



The third Incarnation-phase Talisman card is also very strong. With Painter, you can Entangle for five turns. If you cycle quickly, you can ensure Injured, in which case you make it a one-sided Predicament for Immortal.

Final note

As long as the bond is high enough, Cat is invincible!

Will you believe in the bond?



I had yet to battle this Hua Qinrui, but after calculating, I was short around 20 damage. Of the 66 Cloud Spirit Sword Sect cards, only Sword Intent Surge can win.

Will you believe in the bond, and give your Sword Intent to the Divine Brush?
