Range: 3
When a player has this equipped and the target of their attack uses an escape, the attacker may attack the target again.
The ability of the Green Dragon Blade can create a cycle where the attacker keeps playing an Attack until the target is hit or the attacker chooses to stop.
If Wine is used before attacking, only the first attack deals the increased damage. Subsequent attacks will deal standard damage.
An attacker can use a variety of attack types in succession. They may start with an Attack, follow up with a Lightning Attack, continue with a Fire Attack, and then return to a normal Attack, all in the same sequence.
Attack Creators:
Characters that can generate Attack cards excel with the Green Dragon Blade. They can repeatedly force their target to use Escapes, exhausting their defenses and setting up for an ally’s finishing blow. Examples: Guan Yu, Zhao Yun.
Large Hands:
Characters with large hands full of expendable Attack cards benefit from this weapon, as it guarantees that one of their attacks will eventually hit. Examples: Lu Meng, Zhen Ji, Yuan Shu, Huang Gai, God Cao Cao.
Zhang Jiao:
Zhang Jiao uses this weapon differently. When he plays an Escape, he triggers "Lightning Strike", and the attacker can try again. If Zhang Jiao escapes again, "Lightning Strike" reactivates. This continues until either the attacker stops or Zhang Jiao gets hit.
Zhang Fei:
Zhang Fei has little use for this weapon aside from its range, as his "Roar" already grants him unlimited attacks, negating the blade’s primary advantage.
The Green Dragon Blade shares some similarities with the Crossbow but is less deadly overall. Once the target is hit, the weapon can no longer punish them further. However, it is a powerful tool for draining Escapes, forcing defenders to either take damage or use their cards. Unlike the Crossbow, this weapon is often used more strategically, weakening opponents' defenses to create opportunities for others to strike.
The Green Dragon Blade was the legendary weapon of Guan Yu, one of the most iconic warriors of the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu wielded it during many famous battles, including the slaying of Hua Xiong at Sishui Gate and his encounters with Yan Liang and Wen Chou while serving under Cao Cao. The blade became a symbol of Guan Yu’s might, and after his death, it was passed down to his son Guan Xing, who continued to use it in Zhuge Liang’s northern campaigns against Wei. The Green Dragon Blade remains a lasting symbol of loyalty and strength, much like its original owner.
