![]() ![]() During a showdown, a Warrior card may be used as a Boost card, and any special ability the card has applies only then. However, the number of cards in the Training Area determines the one's skill level which is also important. The skill and power numbers of a Warrior card in the Training Area do not matter. Such cards are played face up and upside down, so that Warrior icon on the card is right side up. The higher the power number, the more powerful the card will be when used in a Xiaolin Showdown for a Shen Gong Wu.Įach turn, a player may play one Warrior card to his Training Area. ![]() The lower the skill number, the easier it is to bring the card into play. Each card has a skill number in a circle and a power number in a hexagon. The type of card dictates how it can be played. In addition to winning by being the first to win four Shen Gong Wu in a Showdown, it is possible to lose by running out of cards in one's deck and then being required to draw There is also a Showdown Arena that is used by both players when they wish to start a Xiaolin Showdown. During the game, each player has a deck, a hand, a Warrior Training Area, a Vault, and a discard pile which cards will move between according to rules. You might like the other characters it introduces, but for me, too many spices in a dish doesn't make a better dish.There are four types of cards (Warrior, Shen Gong Wu, Master, and Villain) and four elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water) which are associated with the four Xiaolin monks and the color of the non-Villain cards. The rest of the series becomes a 6,5 for me. So if you want the authentic, the best of Xiaolin Showdown, then I wholly recommend season 1 in its entirety. The studio didn't care, it just wanted to make a lore, it just didn't want to waste any time on buildup. And you are like: excuse me? Retcon? Who is Chase Young? Where? How? Why? No idea. After the first season it's like the studio came in and said: okay, now do it again but 50% cheaper. Nothing is going to beat the final 4 episodes of season 1. The first season of this series is probably the most solid that the show was. Great villain potential, become a sad joke in later seasons. No one manifests this better than Jack Spicer. Then instead of getting wrapped up they become another comedic relief character in the background for jokes in future episodes. It's like, every new villain character that is introduced is taken to the absolute peak of their villain potential before getting defeated. This series is so impressive if it had any way to end its plots and wrap up its characters it would make a great series. The idea behind this show deserved a better studio. ![]()
