Ritual Beast Gameplay Guide

By Mèo Fool Gaming Published Oct 19, 2024 Updated Oct 21, 2024

Ritual Beast is a deck that rotates combos extremely well, but it also takes a lot of brain power and is easily misplayed by the deck's own mechanism. In return, the deck is extremely powerful if you know how to play it.

Sections covered in this guide:

1/ Heaven and Earth, I Am the Only One

2/ CORE

3/ Staple

4/ Cumbo

Heaven and Earth, I Am the Only One

Dimension Shifter (x2)

for you banish is home, opp is not sure

Archnemeses Protos (x1)

The greater the power, the higher the brick

is floodgay that can shoot cards and is not destroyed by card effects as well as DEF 3000

CORE

Spiritual Beast Tamer Lara (X3)

New support, this card provides everything a Ritual Beast needs, the ability to normal summon to add a body or trigger a Tamer effect or pull monsters straight from the Deck to the field as well as protect the Ritual Beast from battle or effect destruction.

In addition to this card are Spiritual Beast and Ritual Beast Tamer

Ritual Beast Inheritance (x2-3)

New card, providing search and support for blocking opp attacks or you punching boss opp (changing position). This card also has the effect of reducing ATK for each different Type Ritual Beast you are controlling, (support for the fusion lion Ulti-Apelio , because it is immune to effects, increasing ATK is very useless for it)

Ritual Beast Ulti-Nochiudrago (x2)

New card, contact fusion by banishing cards from the field or grave, you can combo for life, grave has resources, you banish pull this card up, with Ritual Beast prefer to be banished than in the grave so this card also supports very well

This card can protect Ritual Beast monsters from being targeted (except this card)

The good thing about this card is that it pulls back Ritual Beast (not Spiritual Beast or Ritual Beast Tamer), so it can pull back some monsters that the other fusions can't pull, for example your Link monster.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Reirautari (x1-2)

It's super easy to level up, you don't need to use Ritual Beast as a Link material to level up, you can click Gamma to have 2 bodies to link :)

has a small floodgay that makes opp (and himself) not sacrifice cards to activate cards or effects and restore goods (1 Ritual Beast from banish zone to hand or Extra Deck) and normal summon, helps support Tamer and adds body to combo very well. This card also has a banish effect on opp turn which is very annoying

Spiritual Beast Cannahawk (x3)

soft once per turn, "search" effect by banishing Ritual Beast from deck

Spiritual Beast Rampengu (x3)

soft once per turn, extremely powerful resource pool, banish 1 Ritual Beast from Extra Deck and send 1 Ritual Beast from Deck to Graveyard with the same Type as the banished Extra Deck card

Ritual Beast Tamer Elder (x3)

The old man is extremely strong, the effect allows normal summoning of Ritual Beast. It sounds a bit cheesy, but Ritual Beasts can only be specially summoned once, so this is an effect that helps to have 2 Ritual Beast monsters and a stronger combo.

Ritual Beast Tamer Lara and Ritual Beast Tamer Wen (x1)

Pull back the Ritual monster from the grave or banish zone to the field, depending on the situation you search for 1 of these 2 monsters, peel them up sometimes brick so bring x1 is fine

Spiritual Beast Tamer Winda (x1)

both Ritual Beast Tamer and Spiritual Beast, so it can be used as a very diverse fusion material. This card's effect is also strong and once made waves (in Duel Links, at that time the skill was not too OP).

Spiritual Beast Pettlephin and Spiritual Beast Apelio (x1)

dolphin : push soft once per turn cards to clear the field or bait negate very well, especially those "not destroyed by effects"

Lion : buffs ATK OTK, but the main purpose of using this card is to banish Ritual Beast monsters from the grave. Because the banish zone is where these monsters belong.

Ritual Beast Tamer Zeframpilica (Hey It's Me Goku)

Because my playstyle mixes a lot of handtraps, I don't use this card. This card allows you to pull Ritual Beast back from the grave.

Ritual Beast Steeds (X1)

Bantumlum is not target, because it can be searched, so using it x1 will brick less, this is a card you don't want to see in your hand, unless you actively search.

Ritual Beast's Bond (X0-1)

You can drag your link 4 or any monster just use 2 monsters, sounds like cheat but brick when peeled, should play x1

Ritual Beast Ulti-Cannahawk (x2)

searcher of the deck and of course soft once per turn, this card's search is very strong, searching the whole deck to hand (Ritual Beast monsters/spells/traps)

Has an effect that automatically returns to the Extra Deck to bring back 2 banished monsters (1 Ritual Beast Tamer and 1 Spiritual Beast) to the field.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Kimunfalcos (x1-2)

Provides normal summon, which is the most needed ritual beast since the small Ritual Beasts can only be special summoned once per turn, as well as triggering the Tamer effect

Has an effect that automatically returns to the Extra Deck to bring back 2 banished monsters (1 Ritual Beast Tamer and 1 Spiritual Beast) to the field.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio (x0-1)

When punching, it is immune to effects from other cards until the end of the Damage Step (including your own cards), so buffing ATK for this card is redundant, sometimes leading to missplay. In return, this card can support OTK or disrupt opp well.

Has an effect that automatically returns to the Extra Deck to bring back 2 banished monsters (1 Ritual Beast Tamer and 1 Spiritual Beast) to the field.

Ritual Beast Ulti-Gaiapelio (x0-1)

Summoning conditions are a bit weak, but in return you have omni-negate and destroy, body 3200 ATK is enough to punch through negate or boss opp (usually 3000 ATK)

Staple

handtrap & staple

Because the deck has 1 combo card, you can play whatever you like. Still recommend 3 Ash Blossom and 3 Maxx "C"

Oily

everything starts with Banshee , Banshee search Flag

I> Flag -> Corridor -> Thunder Dragon Colossus

II> Flag -> Nemeses Protos or Eschatos

Emergency Teleport (x2 (due to limit))

no normal summon cost, no once per turn, super card, although destroyed in End Phase but... who asked?

Pot of Prosperity (x1)

Actually, whether this card can split the damage or not has no effect on Ritual Beast. Their Extra Deck can easily banish 6 for this card to excavate 6. In general, this card goes very well with Ritual Beast.

S:P Little Knight (raise the game)

S:P everyone knows it's a fucking badass, banish 2 and all that ostrich stuff

but S:P banish Banshee , Banshee will automatically pull its own body back up to +1 body for combo, but somehow you banish Banshee and Banshee jumps by itself, you can use it to upgrade S:P , at this time S:P upgrade by Xyz monster will banish 1

Underworld Goddess of the Closed World, Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess and I:P Masquerena (absolutely cinematic)

Apollousa : negate monsters once per turn

I:P : sometimes you only have I:P and 1 Ritual Beast fusion body and can't get Apollousa . Next turn you use Ritual Beast Fusion to pull back 2 monsters and get Apollousa with the bonus of not being destroyed by card effects.

Big sister : uses opp monsters as materials to deal with unaffected enemies, super powerful effects, 3000 ATK body

Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer (x0-1)

bro search but holding many copies in hand is very tiring, effect draw 1 is also good, but if you can use it :)

Garura, Wings of Resonant Life, Mudragon of the Swamp and Super Polymerization (Super Poly)

Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir, Lightning Chidori and Evilswarm Exciton Knight (Rank 4)

use it if you like

Number 41 : opp threw Maxx "C", I lay down and acted like I was about to cry

Lightning Chidori : quite strong effect for a Rank 4, although the summoning conditions are not friendly to all decks, any deck that can use it is strong

Exciton Knight : joke not funny, pay court

I'm sorry, Amanai.
