Notes & Combos

Chimera and Nightmares got released with new semi-generic Chimera skill that make Gazelle 1 card combo. it kills our RDA and Berserk Dragon lines but it gives us consistent ways to trigger Heiress turn 1 and great dump and revive tools.

Going first (when you open S, X, Y, Z)

  • if S is Swordknight (combo is similar if S is Cornfield or Apprentice):
    • skill returns X for Fusion
    • ns Swordknight, ss Gazelle, add Berformet
    • fuse Berformet + Gazelle to Chimera the King, then add Apprentice + revive Swordknight + recycle Fusion
    • discard Y to ss Apprentice, add Cornfield
    • overlay Apprentice + Chimera the King to Beatrice, then dump Heiress to add Bone
    • discard Cornfield to add Swordknight
    • fuse Bone + revived Swordknight to Berformet the king and dump Betrayer
    • banish Swordknight + Berformet to ss Betrayer, then ovelay Betrayer + Berformet the king to Caesar
    • discard Swordknight to ss Bone, then dump Vision to add Golem
    • end field is Caesar + Beatrice + Bone + Golem + 2 revives using Chimera fusions in gy. after you revive a Chimera fusion, Swordknight + Cornfield gy effects are live
  • if you need I:P instead of Caesar
    • fuse Bone + Swordknight at hand to Berformet the king and dump revive target (Emperor / Invader)
    • link revived Swordknight + Berformet the king to I:P
    • discard Z to ss Bone
    • on oppenent turn, if you need to link to Unicorn, Beatrice can dump Heiress to add Empress to hand
  • if Y is Heiress / Bone / Betrayer, we get extra search / dump
    • fuse Heiress with Gazelle, add Roar. fuse Berformet + Apprentice in second fusion to revive Apprentice. then, Beatrice dump Bone
    • alternatively, add Bone and discard it to ss Apprentice. then, Beatrice dump Empress
  • if S is Gazelle
    • if Y is any fiend, fuse Gazelle with it. fuse Berformet + Swordknight at hand in second fusion to create I:P endboard
    • if you don't have any fiend (really rare)
      • add Mist instead of Berformet then fuse it with Gazelle
      • discard Cornfield to add Berformet
      • fuse Berformet + Apprentice in second fusion to revive Apprentice
      • end field is Berformet the king + Beatrice + Bone + golem + 2 revives using Chimera fusions in gy. after you revive a Chimera fusion, Cornfield gy effects are live

Using Chimera fusions in gy:

  • basic usage is banish Chimera the King to revive something from gy, then banish Berformet to revive Chimera the King (which will make Cornfield + Swordknight negates live)
  • you can revive Heiress to block a direct attack and then to get a search
  • you can revive Empress and she will always have at least 1 float target

Going second

  • Falling Down is almost always live since you can dump or fuse Heiress to add Eccentick or Bone
  • against Shaddoll / Despia, fuse Berformet the king and dump Farfa to banish Winda / Masquerade
