Chapter 17: Phoenix Enforcer x Plasma x Dark Law! Who Can Break This Board?
Amidst the excitement in all the worlds, there were naturally contrarians. Some felt Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer was one of the faces of Fusion, while others felt it wasn't quite worthy of the title. But amidst these mixed and diverse voices, one thing no one doubted: the fusion power of the HERO archetype was definitely top-tier!
Of course, this was just the beginning. Even stronger Fusion archetypes were yet to come!
...
The Noble Shadow HERO Player: "Alright, after summoning this HERO powerhouse, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, did you think it was over?"
The Noble Shadow HERO Player: "I said that this line of play is for the biggest possible board! Naturally, it needs a stronger face for a first-turn setup!"
The Noble Shadow HERO Player: "Remember the Miracle Fusion searched by Sunrise?"
The Noble Shadow HERO Player: "That's right! Next is to use Miracle Fusion! Fuse the Sunrise and Cross Crusader in the Graveyard!"
"The shining hero that brings hope!"
"The ace of fusion that breaks the shackles of fusion!"
"Come forth! Fusion Summon this monster card!"
"Wake Up Your Elemental HERO!!!"
[Card Name: Wake Up Your Elemental HERO (Level 10)]
[Attribute: LIGHT]
[Type: Warrior]
[ATK/DEF: 2500/2100]
Another fusion? Wait, what's the purpose of fusing into this monster? This question subconsciously popped into the minds of almost all the duelists.
The next second, when they saw the effect, they seemed to understand something!
Effect 1: This card gains 300 ATK for each Fusion Material used for its Summon. It can make a number of attacks on monsters each Battle Phase, up to the number of Fusion Monsters used as its material.
A simple and unadorned beatdown effect! But if the goal was the ultimate first-turn board, this first effect was temporarily useless!
And Effect 2: After damage calculation, if this card battled a monster: Destroy that monster, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK.
Another offensive board-clearing effect with burn damage! Clearly not the focus for a first-turn setup!
Then it had to be the third effect!
That's right! If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: You can Special Summon 1 Warrior monster from your hand or Deck.
So! It was for this effect! And how to destroy it? Simple! Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer! Everyone's train of thought connected at this moment! And the screen played out exactly as they had calculated!
"I believe we're now at the point of basic HERO plays and creative thinking."
"The Destiny HERO - Denier in the Graveyard can activate its effect."
"If this card is in your GY and you control or have another 'Destiny HERO' monster in your GY: You can Special Summon this card."
"Simultaneously, activate Denier's first effect!"
"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can place 1 'Destiny HERO' monster from your Deck, GY, or that is banished, on top of your Deck."
"We can choose the previously banished Malicious and place it on top of the deck."
"Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer activates its effect, choosing to destroy itself and this Fusion Monster, Wake Up Your Elemental HERO."
"Wake Up Your Elemental HERO's effect activates, we can Special Summon Stratos from the deck."
"Stratos's effect activates, guess what we're going to search?"
"That's right! It's this card that locks down monster effects!"
"Destiny HERO - Plasma!!!"
As the video blogger's voice concluded, the moment they heard the name Destiny HERO - Plasma, Aster Phoenix couldn't hold it in anymore! Wait! Could it be! This guy... he was planning to summon Destiny HERO - Plasma to the field?
And the truth was exactly as Aster had predicted! On the screen, the combo was still ongoing!
"Next, we can banish the Malicious in the Graveyard to Special Summon the Malicious from the top of the deck."
"At this moment! We have assembled Stratos, Denier, and Malicious on the field."
"Now, we tribute these three monsters on our field!"
"To bring out this Destiny HERO monster that can suppress all effects!"
"Plasma!!! D!!!"
[Card Name: Destiny HERO - Plasma (Level 8)]
[Attribute: DARK]
[Type: Warrior]
[ATK/DEF: 1900/600]
Here it comes! It really was Destiny HERO - Plasma!!! All that crazy resource utilization wasn't for Plasma's effect of equipping an opponent's monster! It was, without a doubt, for Plasma's suppression of all monster effects! As long as this card was on the field, it could shut down the combos of many decks!
"Alright, at this point, our board-building can be declared over."
"Of course, if we have Fusion Destiny and Mask Change, we can also use a few more resources to bring out a Masked HERO Dark Law!"
"Then, we wait for the opponent's turn."
"Our Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer returns to the field!"
"So, during the opponent's turn, our board will be!"
"Phoenix Enforcer x Dark Law x Plasma!"
"You could say this is the maximum possible HERO board, right?"
"Because this board equals: Quick-Effect Destruction x Graveyard & Search Lock x Monster Effect Negation!"
"I ask you, who can break this so easily?"
"Alright, the HERO combo showcase, concludes here!"
"...."
As the video blogger's final words fell, the HERO first-turn board he had painted was now vividly imagined in the minds of every duelist across the six worlds. And because of this description, the duelists of all worlds went wild. Especially... the GX world!
