Pouncing Tiger 虎踞
If another player escapes an attack from Sun Ce, Sun Ce can attack that same player again. If this second attack hits, the damage is increased by one.
"Pouncing Tiger" functions similarly to the ability of the Green Dragon Blade, allowing Sun Ce to immediately make another attack if the first one is escaped.
If Sun Ce used Wine for his first attack, this does not influence the damage of the second attack.
The bonus damage from "Pouncing Tiger" applies only if the second attack successfully hits.
The second Attack from "Pouncing Tiger" is optional. If the first attack is escaped, Sun Ce may perform the second attack.
If Sun Ce has unlimited attacks (e.g., through Crossbow or another effect), "Pouncing Tiger" still triggers only once per initial attack.
Even if his first attack fails, Sun Ce can still strike again, ensuring constant pressure on opponents.
Opponents must be careful about dodging his attacks, as failing to fully block him results in increased damage.
Sun Ce works well with weapons and abilities that enhance his offensive capabilities.
Without a steady supply of Attack cards, Sun Ce’s ability cannot be used effectively.
Abilities that punish attackers, such as Zhang Jiao’s "Lightning Strike," can make attacking a risk.
Items like Eight Trigrams can make it harder for Sun Ce to land successful attacks.
Multi-Attack Weapons:
Weapons like the Crossbow increase his offensive potential, giving him more opportunities to trigger "Pouncing Tiger."
Damage Boosters:
Characters who can increase Sun Ce’s Attack power, such as Guan Ping, make his strikes more threatening.
Dodge Manipulators:
Characters who focus on defensive options, like Zhen Ji, make it more difficult for Sun Ce’s attacks to connect.
A decent choice, as his offensive nature deters Rebels, but he lacks strong defensive tools.
A powerful attacker who can protect the King by aggressively eliminating threats.
Very effective, as he can constantly pressure the King and Loyalists with relentless Attacks.
Can be dangerous in this role, as he has the offensive power to adapt to shifting alliances, though his reliance on Attacks makes him predictable.
Sun Ce is a relentless attacker who thrives on aggressive play. His ability to follow up missed attacks with stronger ones makes him a major threat in any game. However, his reliance on Attack cards and vulnerability to defensive strategies mean he requires careful resource management. Players who enjoy a fast-paced, high-damage playstyle will find Sun Ce a strong and rewarding choice.
Sun Ce, known as the Little Overlord, was a bold and ambitious warlord who laid the foundation for the state of Wu. His rapid conquests and military prowess earned him comparisons to Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. However, his life was cut short at a young age, reportedly due to wounds from an assassination attempt.
His ability, "Pouncing Tiger," reflects his relentless battlefield aggression, striking enemies repeatedly to overwhelm them. The increased damage represents his ability to capitalize on enemy weaknesses, much like his swift military campaigns. Sun Ce's aggressive playstyle mirrors his historical role as a fearsome and decisive warrior.
