Blade Souls is the first pair of characters with a female lead role and has a dual-soul system, allowing for switching during combats.



Soul System: The higher the Soul power, the less energy. The Light Soul attack cards will consume, and the more energy the skill cards will consume, but they will receive additional bonuses. The Dark Soul, on the other hand, operates oppositely, with her skill cards consuming less energy and her attack cards receiving additional bonuses.



[h2]New Cards[/h2]

Stealding Card: Characters come equipped with theft, allowing them to steal items while inflicting damage, a win-win situation to collect all the treasures along the Journey to the West.

Stun Card: No need to rely on wetness and shock to trigger it; with the right gameplay, passing through without harm is not a problem!



Lost Card: Forcibly confuses bosses/elites, no longer only effective against small fry!



[h2]New Builds[/h2]

• Combo build: Seven-comboseries, eternal life, endless flow.
  
  
  
• Poison-Stacking build: Let's stack together (keep the spider away from me).
  
  
  
• Invisibility build: As long as you're invisible, you'll come with a thousand souls and spirits, along with high burst damage.
  
  
  
• Infinite build: Draw countless sub-decks.
  

The Blade Souls will officially released after the 2024 Chinese New Year. We look forward to players developing more gameplay. See you in the new year!
