Overview of the deck
Assault Mode are monsters that are "upgraded" from synchro monsters with the same name using the trap card Assault Mode Activate . This deck's gameplay focuses on synchro summoning and then "upgrading" these synchro monsters into their Assault Mode form. These monsters can only be summoned from the deck to the field and the most common Assault Mode monster is Stardust Dragon. Let's see how this deck has a way to summon synchro and how to deal with Assault Mode monsters.
Core
Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode (Key monsters (play 3))
Assault Mode monsters have the following characteristics:
- A monster in the main deck.
- Can only be summoned from the deck by Assault Mode Activate or by their own effect.
- When this monster on the field is destroyed, you can summon its synchro version from the grave.
Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode is the most useful Assault Mode monster and is the win condition of this strategy. This monster has the ability to negate the activation of cards as well as the effects of cards by sacrificing itself. Furthermore, at the end of the turn it uses this effect, this monster can be special summoned to the field again.
Assault Mode Activate and Stardust Dragon (Play 2 or 3)
To summon Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode , you need to have a Stardust Dragon monster on the field and the trap card Assault Mode Activate .
Using the Assault Mode Activate card is a classic way to play as well as a characteristic of this strategy. The risk of this strategy is that Assault Mode monsters can only be special summoned from the deck, so Assault Mode monsters are almost -1 if you draw them to your hand.
Psi-Reflector (Play 3)
This strategy can now be played a lot easier thanks to the introduction of the Psi-Reflector monster.
When summoned (normal summon or special summon), you can take from your deck and put into your hand 1 Assault Mode Activate or a card that mentions Assault Mode Activate in the effects section.
With this effect, you can almost access most Assault Mode cards very easily. This also makes this monster the most important monster in your deck.
Not stopping there, Psi-Reflector on the field can also revive a monster whose effect section mentions Assault Mode Activate (related to Assault Mode Activate ) by showing the opponent an Assault Mode Activate on the field. your hand, you can then also adjust the level of the summoned monster.
Emergency Teleport and One for One (Support)
Psi-Reflector is a level 1 Psychic monster, so related supports like One For One or Emergency Teleport also contribute a lot to the combo.
Assault Beast (Play 1 or 2)
Assault Beast is a monster that allows you to add Assault Mode Activate from your deck to your hand by discarding it from your hand to the grave.
Although this is a monster that can help you get cards from the deck into your hand, as well as being the most important combo card, you only need to play 1 of this monster in the deck because this monster can be picked up. It's easy and you only need to use Assault Mode Activate once to complete the deck's winning conditions. In the later stages of the game, Psi-Reflector will replace this monster to help you pull other cards in the clan.
Assault Sentinel (Play 3)
Assault Sniper can sacrifice itself on the field to bring 1 monster related to Assault Mode Activate from the deck or hand onto the field. You can summon Psi-Reflector with this effect.
Fire Formation - Tenki (Support)
Tenki is a powerful support card for most decks that play Beast-Warrior monsters. With Tenki , you can easily get monsters like Assault Beast or Assault Sniper into your hand for your combo.
Other supports
Infinite Impermanence, Maxx "C" and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (Hand trap)
Crossout Designator and Called by the Grave (Prevent hand traps)
Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike and Torrential Tribute (Trap cards)
Fire Ant Ascator, Ascator and Dawnwalker (Mini engine)
Using engines that support fast synchro summoning helps you get other monsters besides Stardust Dragon .
With the Ascator engine, you can easily get a level 8 synchro monster with just 1 Ascator monster, Dawnwalker and 1 random card in your hand (as cost).
It should be noted that during the entire turn you use this monster's effect, you can only summon synchro monsters from the extra deck.
The weakness of this engine is that you need to play the Fire Ant Ascator monster to maximize the power of this engine and this monster can do almost nothing when drawn to your hand.
Other synchro monsters
How to play
and Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode and Stardust Dragon (Win condition)
The ultimate goal of this Assault Mode strategy is to summon the Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode monster. This monster will negate the opponent's effects once per turn and also have a large body to punch in the battle phase. This monster can be summoned with a 1-card combo, Psi-Reflector .
Assault Mode Activate, Assault Beast and Psi-Reflector (Combo 1 card)
Cards in hand: 1 Psi-Reflector
- Normal summon Psi-Reflector from hand.
- Use Psi-Reflector 's effect when summoned, add Assault Beast from your deck to your hand.
- Continue using Assault Beast , discard this monster from your hand to the Graveyard to get 1 Assault Mode Activate from your deck to your hand.
- Activate Psi-Reflector 's on-field effect, reveal Assault Mode Activate from hand, summon Assault Beast from the grave, then increase Assault Beast's level by 3.
- Synchro summon Stardust Dragon with Psi-Reflector (level 1) and Assault Beast (level 7).
- Place Assault Mode Activate on the field. You can use this card to sacrifice Stardust Dragon and summon Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode from the deck.
Emergency Teleport, One for One and Assault Sentinel (Supports revolve around tactics)
Supports that help you increase your odds of performing this combo:
- Assault Sentinel can sacrifice itself to summon Psi-Reflector from the deck. This monster can also be taken from the deck to the hand thanks to the card Fire Formation – Tenki .
- Emergency Teleport and One for One (need 1 monster in hand as cost) can summon Psi-Reflector straight from the deck, you still have 1 normal summon after the combo.
Discuss decks
You can summon more than 1 Assault Mode monster!
Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode has an unlimited number of effect activations per turn. Taking advantage of this, you can call out many Stardust Dragon/Assault Modes, making the opponent more disadvantaged.
Trap cards that can summon monsters from the grave ( Back to the Front ) can help you summon Stardust Dragon again (after successfully synchro summoning) to continue as a sacrifice for Assault Mode Activate .
- However, these cards cannot special summon Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode .
Crystron Halqifibrax and Psi-Reflector (Engine runs for rent)
Because there is no summoning limit for the Psi-Reflector combo, the “Assault Mode package” (3 Psi-Reflectors , 1 Assault Beast , 1 Assault Mode Activate ) is also used in some decks to quickly summon monsters. Synchro monsters 6, 7, 8, 9 often use this combo to get free materials for link monsters.
In the Assault Mode deck itself, you can also take advantage of this to play in the mid and late stages of the game or create a surprise if your strategy is caught by the opponent right away in Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode . However, you also need to pay attention to avoid restrictions from other cards in the deck because this is a deck that focuses on synchro summoning.
Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, the Primal Being and PSY-Framegear Gamma (Hand traps)
Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode will sacrifice itself to activate its effect, which can greatly facilitate your use of hand traps when you empty the field from your hand.
- After Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode jumps, when your field is clear of monsters, Gamma will be able to activate its effect .
- Nibiru almost exclusively sacrifices the opponent's monsters.
- Infinite Impermanence will also have some ability to be used from the hand in this strategy.
Other synchro monsters
Monsters in the Assault Mode strategy have the ability to strongly support synchro summoning. You can take advantage of this to create other strong monsters for your deck's backup strategy.
Assault Sentinel is a monster that can help you change the type and attribute of the monster to help you create powerful synchro monsters more easily.
T.G. Halberd Cannon/Assault Mode, Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode and Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode (Other Assault Mode bosses)
In addition to the main monster of the deck, Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode , a few other Assault Mode monsters can also be used in strategy.
- Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode can destroy all cards on the opponent's field once.
- TG Halberd Cannon/Assault Mode can negate the summon of your opponent's monster each turn, removing that monster along with all other special summoned monsters on their field.
- Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode can destroy all monsters in the battle phase after attacking.
Combine the effects of the cards together
Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode and Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode can be utilized as they are easily summoned with Assault Mode Activate .
Arcanite Magician can also shoot cards on the field and is summoned more easily thanks to Assault Sentinel.
Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode, when destroyed, can summon Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend from the grave (an upgraded version of Red Dragon Archfiend , this monster is counted as Red Dragon Archfiend while in the grave).
TG Halberd Cannon/Assault Mode can be summoned using the Assault Reboot card.
Assault Mode Zero, Assault Teleport and Assault Reboot (How to deal with Assault Mode monsters in hand)
Assault Mode Activate can only summon Assault Mode monsters from the DECK. This will cause quite a bit of difficulty if you draw Assault Mode monsters to your hand.
Assault Mode Zero can help you summon Assault Mode monsters from your hand (exceptions). Additionally, by discarding this card from the Graveyard, you can place 1 Assault Mode Activate directly from your deck (or hand) on the field and make that card playable during the turn it is placed face down. This card can help you summon up to 2 Assault Mode monsters easily in just 1 turn.
Use Assault Mode monsters in your hand as cost and send them to the grave, Assault Reboot can help you return them to the deck with this card's effect.
Assault Teleport is a +0 card that can help you return Assault Mode monsters from your hand to the deck. However, this card will be very difficult to use because you have no way to quickly get this card from the deck into your hand.
Restrictions to remember
Assault Mode Activate and Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode (Assault Mode monsters)
Assault Mode monsters can ONLY be summoned FROM THE DECK with the Assault Mode Activate trap card (or with their own effect).
Assault Counter and Assault Teleport (It is necessary to distinguish the supports of this card clan)
Cards like Assault Teleport , Assault Counter cannot be added to the hand through the effect of Psi-Reflector or similar cards because you can only take cards that have " Assault Mode Activate " in the effect description, not not “/Assault Mode”.
Epilogue
Engine Psi-Reflector, Assault Beast, Assault Mode Activate do not have any summon limit restrictions, allowing you to easily combo and combine many other great combos. Hope you will have interesting experiences with this deck.
