• Core ability : Whenever you shuffle the draw pile, provide 6 blocking points to the character to help defense.
• Limitations : It depends on the speed of the deck, and the effect is not obvious in the early or mid-term.
• Advantage areas :
-Warrior : After taking shape, the abacus can become a key prop by burning cards to play small infinite.
-Hunter : has strong card checking ability and can effectively control the size of the deck.
-Chicken Pot/Viewer : Under the limited cycle strategy, the abacus can assist defense.
• The frequency of shuffling determines the value : For a deck that is shuffled frequently, the abacus benefit will be significant; otherwise, it will be slightly insufficient.
• Compare with other relics :
-Warrior and Sundial : Both solve the cycle problem, with Warrior taking priority.
-War of attrition : Abacus and sundial are tied for top relics.
• Warrior First Choice : Suitable for characters who have entered the Small Infinite stage.
• Mainstream strategy : Abacus plays an important role in a war of attrition.
• Robots and spectators : There may be better means of defense, followed by Abacus.
In summary, when choosing an abacus as a relic, you should consider the character's specific tactics and deck characteristics to ensure that it can maximize its value at critical moments.
