Thunderstrike Tactics Ying Zheng

Mulan's nonstop Revives and single-target burst clear the whole board. Once awakened, Shangguan and Cheng Yaojin gain 8 Ancient Coins per round from their Setup effects, giving Mulan 2 more Revives; playing Luna re-triggers Cheng Yaojin's and Shangguan's Setup effects, stacking without limit (up to 10 Revives).

Use On Deploy cards to cut Da Qiao's max mana down to 10 so she casts her skill nonstop, which speeds up Zhuge Liang's ultimate; Zhuge Liang also gains temporary levels from Liu Shan, while Lu Bu adds lifesteal for Tripartite heroes.

A beginner's first level 999! Little Yaria is the top commander pick: after round 12, sacrificing the little deer also gives Li Xin a lot of levels. Ying Lü or Mr. Ming also work; with Ying Lü, send the airdrops to Li Xin and Dasiming. If Great River is banned, swap Dasiming for Cheng Yaojin or Dun, though the lineup's ceiling drops a little.
