Characters like Zhang Fei or Liu Bei, who rely on large hands for their abilities, benefit greatly when you direct your discarded cards to them.
Full Hand Characters:
Characters who discard cards frequently, such as Zhen Ji or Cao Ren, can use the Robotic Ox to funnel resources to allies while still managing their hand limits.
The Robotic Ox is a highly strategic treasure that rewards thoughtful resource allocation. Its ability to redirect discarded cards makes it a versatile tool for both support and sabotage, but it requires careful planning to maximize its impact. Ideal for team-oriented players or those who thrive on creative problem-solving, the Robotic Ox adds a unique layer of tactical depth to any game.
The Robotic Ox draws inspiration from Zhuge Liang’s ingenious invention, the "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse," as described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This mechanical marvel was used to transport supplies efficiently during the Shu campaigns. The contraption symbolized Zhuge Liang’s brilliance in combining engineering with strategy, allowing his forces to maintain logistical superiority in the field.
In one notable instance, Zhuge Liang used the invention during the Northern Expeditions to deliver food and equipment across difficult terrain, ensuring his troops remained well-supplied despite enemy blockades. The ability of the Robotic Ox to transfer discarded cards mirrors the historical purpose of transporting valuable resources to those in need, embodying Zhuge Liang’s legacy of turning ingenuity into an advantage on the battlefield.
