The news of Mingchao Version 1.4 came in like a tide. The appearance of two new resonators was like two eaves suddenly added to the architectural blueprint, bringing a new perspective and emotional clues. Among them, one is Chun and the other is Deng Deng. Chun, the original clues can be followed, and it seems that she has appeared in the plot clips, with a dignified temperament and a painting-like blade; while Deng Deng is a brand new face, silent at first glance, but with light and shadow. The appearance of these two people not only constitutes the core of the card pool update, but also adds spatial structure and spiritual dimension to the overall plot.
Chun is a five-star resonator, whose attribute is annihilation, and whose weapon is the Swift Blade. The Swift Blade moves like a flying swallow and cuts like the wind. From the design of Chun’s attack module, its shape is like dancing and its momentum is like momentum. It is said that Chun has three forms, and its changes vary with the hair color. This design is neither superficial nor aesthetic, but reflects the deep logic of the character’s personality and the evolution of the story. She comes from the Black Coast. The word “Black Sea” not only outlines the geographical space, but also symbolizes an important source of emotions in the plot. The cleverness of the character design not only contains the touch of regional culture, but also the roots of personality and behavior.
According to internal information, Chun’s model design and action module are newly constructed and there is no precedent to refer to. Looking at her movements, it is like a sword dance, like the ancients dancing under the moon, and like the movement of the new modern theater that combines body and poetry. Between movement and stillness, in the hearts of the characters and players, a bridge of spirit and technology is built. She may not only be a character, but also like a building, with a soul hidden under the structure and telling time in space.
The four-star resonator Deng Deng is more novel and friendly. She may not have made her mark in the plot yet, but her character conception is also quite ingenious. Deng Deng uses a long blade, and the weapon and body form a contrast. Her model is a newly developed “girl type”, which is significantly different from existing characters in terms of proportion and posture. According to Stepleaker, she may have a pet-like summon to fight with her. This design is quite similar to the auxiliary space in traditional architecture, such as the wing room to the main hall, which is connected to each other but does not take away the main position. On the contrary, its existence makes the overall pattern more layered and interesting.
In terms of the card pool structure, version 1.4 roughly follows the previous example: the first half of the release of the new five-star Tsubaki, with the four-star Deng Deng, and the second half may reproduce Yinlin. Yinlin has been quite popular since the release of version 1.0, and its reproduction should be a move to respond to players’ expectations and adjust the card pool structure. It is worth mentioning that Jin Xi and San Hua will also get new skins in this version. The design style has not yet been announced, but it symbolizes the care for the continuity and aesthetic deepening of the characters, just like the renovation of historical buildings, seeing new ideas in the unchanged, and the designer’s vision and effort in the continuity.
This version update is not only an extension of the character system, but also a fusion of plot and aesthetics. The designer has built a series of hidden and solid beams between the character’s actions, attributes, clothing and plot. This is not only a game of probability and resources, but also a spiritual architectural journey built by players and developers.
To get this new character, you must prepare enough resources in advance. Therefore, choosing a suitable storage platform has become a part of the strategy. Treabar is highly recommended because of its fast direct storage and rich discounts, just like a market with good building materials, which saves time and effort, allowing players to concentrate on building dreams without being disturbed by trivial matters.
In general, the card pool design of Mingchao version 1.4 is like building a space with a sense of hierarchy and history, with characters as beams, plots as pillars, systems as the foundation, and players as spectators and residents, who experience together a transformation from fiction to reality. I hope that when the new version is launched, it will be like a newly completed building, with light and shadows entering the window and the sound of wind passing by, which will make people fascinated.
