Xiaobin Three Kingdoms Rewind
孙小宾-三分倒转T0. The strongest comp in the game and a T0 pick since launch. It's also the hardest to complete: you need more specific cards than any other comp.
Cao Cao, Lady Zhen and Luna rewind each other in an endless loop, and levels shoot up.
Wukong steals levels. When he combines or enters the board, he has to sit next to a hero at level 10 or higher to absorb its levels. He also needs to take hits to fill his mana.

Player skills
Rewind 时光倒流
Rewinds the non-awakened hero cards and effect cards you used last round, and triggers 1 of them at random.
Time Magic 时间魔法
Play 8 hero or effect cards in a single round to earn the secret skill Time Loop.
Time Loop 时之回环
Records every non-awakened hero card and effect card you play from now on (up to 8). At the start of next round, all of them trigger again.
Treasure of Time 时光宝藏
Gives Eternal Time Loop (永恒时之回环): same as Time Loop, but records up to 12 cards.
Round by round
- Round 1: find two
1Yixing in the shop. Reroll if you don't see them. - Round 1: play one Yixing.
- Round 2: rewind it with Xiaobin's skill, then play the second Yixing.
- Round 3: rewind one Yixing and it awakens.
- Key idea: play only one useful card per round so you control what gets rewound.
- First carousel priority:
2Cao Cao >
2Menki >
3Arke.
- Lose-streak to level 4. Keep controlling the rewind each round and hold comp cards in hand.
- Once you hold 8 cards (heroes and effects), play them all in one round. That completes Time Magic and gives you Time Loop.
- Start Time Loop when you have two
4Lady Zhen and
4Xiao Qiao. Next round, the rewind awakens your core parts.
- Check your HP and opponents, then go level 6 for Eternal Time Loop.
- Use the same method: hold your useful hero and effect cards.
- Best value: hold
5Luna +
4Lady Zhen + auction effect cards. - Switching to
5Lu Bu makes first place easier. Keep 2 Inheritance and 1 Legacy, plus the Swap Commander card from the shop.
Tip: If another player is on Three Kingdoms, or someone is running Mulan, try not to sell Luna.
Who you beat, who beats you
Another Three Kingdoms player in the lobby
This is the matchup that hurts most. The comp needs awakened tier-4 heroes, awakening takes 4 copies, and each tier-4 hero has only 7 copies in the shared pool. If another player holds a few of the same cards, you may never awaken them, and the whole loop stalls.
Can't find the last cards? Start anyway
Only the top 3 score, and you have to be alive to get there. Don't wait forever for a perfect board:
- Watch your HP. If you drop to around 20 HP and your core heroes still aren't awakened, start the comp with what you have.
- Play
5Luna. She raises levels on entry and keeps the loop moving even without every piece. - Use Entry cards for levels. Cards like
5Zhou Yu and
3Diaochan raise levels when they enter, which buys you rounds to survive into the top 3.
