Operation & Tactics
IMPORTANT TIPS AND TRICKS
Handling "Gradius Lock":
When using the effect of Superdimensional Lord British Space Fighter , you are locked into attacking only Machine monsters with 800 DEF (such as Vic, Viper, Ripple, Laser ). This means Polyglaze Spears (2500 ATK) will be unable to attack during that turn.
Solution: In this situation, use Polyglaze as a support tool. Summon Polyglaze , use its stance effect to buff Ripple Laser with 1000 ATK and Penetration . A Ripple Laser with 3500 ATK (or more) attacking monsters with reduced stats is still enough to finish the game.
Take advantage of the Overrush Storm:
Don't just use this card to break traps. Use it to return Dimension Linker or Gradius monsters from the Graveyard to your Deck. This is crucial to ensure you always have objectives in your deck for your Skill to work (requires a Tier 8 monster in your deck to shuffle) or to prevent Power Capsule Red from being wasted.
Conclusion
Dimension Linker Aggro (especially the Gradius variant) is currently one of the top contenders for Tier 1 in the Rush Duel meta. Its strength lies in its ability to easily break Set 3 Pass defenses thanks to its Penetration damage and stat reduction. While it requires careful planning of combo order (especially when combined with Gradius's constraints), the feeling of controlling a deck that can continuously unleash massive monsters and wipe out the opponent's life points in a single turn is incredibly satisfying. This is definitely a worthwhile investment for those who love aggressive playstyles and absolute board control.
