[h3]Card Adjustments:[/h3]

Cloud Sword - Clarity(Cloud Spirit Sword Sect):4 ATK×2/2/3 → 4 ATK×2/3/4;Cloud Hit:Apply 1/2/2 Weakened → Apply 2 Weakened
●The usage rate of Cloud Sword - Clarity is low, as it is often replaced by Cloud Sword - Step Lightly. This adjustment increases its strength during the transition period and final rounds, providing Cloud Sword decks with an additional option when dealing with high-burst decks.

Heavenly Will - Earth Evil(Cloud Spirit Sword Sect):Add 1 DEF for every Injured
opponent's HP in the next attack → Next 1 attack Smash Def and will add 1 DEF for every Injured opponent's HP
●Current card effects significantly underperform against the popular musician DEF decks. To address this, Smash DEF has been added to Earth Evil to improve its consistency.

Astral Move - Jump(Heptastar Pavilion):Cost 1 Qi → No Cost
●Astral Move - Jump typically requires being paired with Detect Qi. It has been adjusted to no longer cost Qi, allowing it to synergize with other opening effects.

Five Elements Guard(Five Elements Alliance):...Gain 1 Guard... → ...Gain 1 Guard
Up(Gain 1 more on first play)...
●The 1 Guard provided by Five Elements Guard is difficult to use effectively and is easily broken. However, increasing it to 2 would make it overly extreme in some decks. Therefore, it has been adjusted to gain 1 additional Guard upon its first use.

Heavenly Marrow Dance Tune(Five Elements Alliance):Cost 2 Qi / Cost 1 Qi / No Cost → Cost 1 Qi / No Cost/ Qi +1
●Heavenly Marrow Dance Tune's high Qi cost makes it difficult to utilize effectively. Its Qi cost has been reduced at lv1, and at lv2, it no longer cost Qi, allowing it to find a place in Earth and Metal decks that do not rely on Qi.

Cosmos Brush(Five Elements Alliance):Qi+1/2/3 → 2/3/4;DEF+2/3/4 → 2/4/6
●In this adjustment, its Qi has been increased, allowing for better synergy with Water Spirit - Great Waves and Wood Spirit - Fragrant. This change also enables more flexible integration of various Five Elements cards into decks.

Cloud Footwork(Duan Xuan Sect):Next 1/2/3 → 2/3/4 attacks Ignore DEF
●The Ignore DEF provided by Cloud Footwork is often consumed by non-critical attack cards. To address this, an additional time of Ignore DEF has been added.

Continuous Tune(Duan Xuan Sect):...be changed to the card in their previous slot ... → ...be changed to the upgraded card in their previous slot...
●Continuous Tune performs well primarily when copying high-level core cards, but it underperforms during the transition period. To improve its transition ability and encourage opponents to engage with this effect, it has been adjusted to copy and upgrade cards.

Mystic Snowdrop(Duan Xuan Sect):HP +0/5/10 → 5/10/15
●Mystic Snowdrop's performance has been slightly below the baseline after the previous adjustment. Its base HP has been increased to improve its effectiveness.

Heavenly Will - Seizing(Duan Xuan Sect):
【Before Change】Transfer all Debuff from the opponent to yourself (gain 1 additional ATK for every Debuff transferred for your next attack)
【After Change】Next ATK will transfer all Debuff from the opponent to yourself (gain 1 additional ATK for every Debuff transferred)
● Heavenly Will - Seizing provides high benefits when paired with Soul Cleaving, but it becomes difficult to use without Agility. If it cannot be played alongside Soul Cleaving, the accumulation of negative statuses can lower survival rate. To address this, the adjustment ensures that negative statuses are transferred on the next attack instead.

Update on December 19

Hi everyone, Yi Xian will be updated at 14:00 on December 19(UTC+8). Please pay attention to the time to avoid affecting the game.

Card Adjustments
Spiritstat Tune(Cloud Spirit Sword Sect)
【Before change】Continuous:Whenever both players gain Qi, they add 3/4/5 DEF for each Qi
【After change】Continuous:Whenever you gain 1 Qi, add 3/4/5 DEF
● The Spiritstat Tune currently performs well only when combined with Ignore DEF, and its Continuous effect has minimal impact on the strategy between both sides. Opponents don’t need to deliberately use Qi cards to counter it. Therefore, it has been adjusted to no longer affect the opponent, making it more versatile in Qi decks.

Cloud Sword - Endless(Cloud Spirit Sword Sect)
【Before change】Continuous:Formation Master Card can be considered as Cloud Sword, all Cloud Sword with ATK will make an additional 2/3/4 ATK after being played
【After change】Continuous:Formation Master Card can be considered as Cloud Sword, all Cloud Sword will make an additional 2/3/4 ATK after being played
● Cloud Sword - Endless performs adequately during the mid-game but becomes weaker in the late game. Therefore, the restriction on the Cloud Sword type has been removed, allowing it to synergize with Cloud Sword - Moon Shade and Meru Formation in the late game to improve its potential ceiling.

Heavenly Will - Earth (Cloud Spirit Sword Sect)
【Before change】Qi+2/4/6;Add 1 DEF for every Injured opponent's HP in the next attack
【After change】Qi+3/5/7;Add 1 DEF for every Injured opponent's HP in the next attack
● Heavenly Will - Earth is relatively weak during the early Incarnation Phase. Therefore, its base Qi has been increased to allow for smoother transitions in the early game when paired with Spirit Sword cards.

Spiritual Hunter(Heptastar Pavilion)
【Before change】Qi+2;Continuous:"Post Action" card's Qi cost decrease 2, and will make an additional 1/4/7 ATK after being played
【After change】Qi+1;Continuous:"Post Action" card's Qi cost decrease 2, and will make an additional 1/4/7 ATK after being played
● Spiritual Hunter has been underperforming overall. It relies heavily on Post Action cards, and Qi costs impose significant restrictions on card placement, making it almost mandatory to pair with Traces Revitalized. In this adjustment, the Qi cost of Post Action cards has been reduced to make them more accessible and easier to use.

Astral Move - Jump(Heptastar Pavilion)
【Before change】2 ATK;Chase;Star Point: Skip to the first "Astral Move" card in the next 2/3/4 slot, and trigger the skipped Opening effect
【After change】2 ATK×2;Chase;Star Point: Skip to the first "Astral Move" card in the next 2/3/4 slot, and trigger the skipped Opening effect
● The design of Astral Move - Jump was to enhance the cycling ability of traditional Dharma decks. In this adjustment, the base ATK has been increased, allowing it to be directly fused and serve as a replacement for Astral Move - Fly.

Five Elements Guard(Five Elements Alliance)
【Before change】DEF +10/18/26;If the Five Elements in the previous slot is activated, gain 1 Guard Up;Activate the Five Elements in the next slot
【After change】DEF +10/18/26;Gain 1 Guard Up;Activate the Five Elements in the next slot
● The placement of Five Elements Guard within decks has been overly restrictive, and its performance as a counterplay card has not been ideal. Therefore, its restrictions have been removed.

Spiritage And Exercise(Duan Xuan Sect)
【Before change】Qi+3/4/5;HP+3/4/5;Add 1 Physique for each Qi (up to 10/15/20)
【After change】Qi+3/4/5;Physique+3/4/5;Add 1 Physique for each Qi (up to 10/15/20)
● Spiritage And Exercise requires a significant amount of Qi, Agility, and Realm-Killing Palms to function effectively, making its performance weak before the deck is fully formed. To address this, its base Physique has been increased to aid in smoother transitions.

Exercise To The Utmost (Duan Xuan Sect)
【Before change】Physique+3/5/7;Physique Cap+2 permanently;Gain 2/3/4 Increase ATK;Consumption
【After change】Physique+4/6/8;Physique Cap+3 permanently;Gain 2/3/4 Increase ATK;Consumption
● The decks in Shelf of Wisdom can form faster, but gaining Physique is more difficult. Exercise To The Utmost has a low win rate during the early Incarnation Phase, and if synthesized in later rounds, it becomes less meaningful. To address this, its base values have been increased.

Mystic Snowdrop (Duan Xuan Sect)
【Before change】HP+0/5/10;The next time you gain Debuff, apply the same Debuff to the opponent
【After change】HP+0/5/10;The next 2 times you gain Debuff, apply the same Debuff to the opponent
● Mystic Snowdrop previously applied a debuff only once, which limited the deck's flexibility. The adjustment now allows it to apply the debuff twice.

Bug Fix
● The issue where dragging cards caused noticeable frame drops in certain situations has been fixed.
● Text errors in some parts have also been corrected.
