Introduce

Abyss Actor is an Archetype consisting of all DARK FIEND monsters used by the character Sylvio Sawatari in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC V

In duel links:

All Abyss Actor monsters in Duel Links are Pendulum monsters, this deck revolves around Pendulum Xyz (sometimes Pendulum Synchro and pure Pendulum too).

Sections covered in this guide:

Skill

Level Duplication (Skill Card) (30%)

Skills help with Abyss Actor Xyz gameplay (sometimes even Synchro)

Effects are as follows:

Can be used when your Life Points are 3000 or lower, by revealing 1 monster card in your hand and selecting 1 monster on your field. The Level of the selected monster will be equal to the Level of the monster you revealed until the end of the turn. This skill can only be used once per Battle.

Sylvio's Showstopping Performance (Skill Card) (58%)

Thanks to the effect of Madonna Abyss Actor can be mixed with skills that reduce 1000 life points or more very well when Madonna's search ability is very powerful and its LP cost is optimized for the skill. Including the skill Sylvio's Showstopping Performance

This skill has the following effect: Instead of drawing normally, you draw 1 "Abyss Actor" or 1 "Yosenju" monster of your choice. Then, add Pendulum Zone to the field if you start the match with a deck of 9 or more "Abyss Actor" Pendulum monsters or "Yosenju" monsters.

In addition, this skill also gives you Pendulum Zone to activate Storm or Outplay when you easily search for Super Star and continue searching for other Abyss Scripts.

Destiny Draw (Skill Card) (10%)

Partly thanks to the playstyle of Santa Claws + Kiteroid + Kuriboh, this style of play was born, with the same gameplay as other Destiny Draw decks, simply wait for the right time OTK

SKILL as follows:

Can be used when your Life Points are reduced by 2000. During the Draw Phase, instead of proceeding with a normal draw, draw a card of your choice. This skill can only be used once per Battle.

Zombie Draw (Skill Card) (2%)

Works very well with Madonna and will draw the card you need if your deck only has 1 Zombie monster, Effects are as follows:

Can be used every time your Life Points decrease by 1000. During your Draw Phase, instead of drawing normally, draw a Zombie Type monster at random.

Core

Abyss Actor - Mellow Madonna, Abyss Actor - Superstar and Abyss Actor - Wild Hope (X2-3)

MOST all Pendulum monsters have both Pendulum Effect and Monster Effect , so I will label them like this :3

Mado nna is one of the few monsters that has both Pendulum and Monster Effect equally strong. Mado nna allows you to search for an Abyss Actor monster but costs 1000 LP. This will not activate at 1000 LP or lower but it allows you to easily access skills that require low LP to activate. In addition, Mado nna is also one of the easiest ways to activate Chaos Number 39.

Thanks to the ability that when the Pendulum monster is destroyed, Mado nna will jump onto the field from his hand and immediately have a 2k5 DEF body, it will be difficult for you to be OTKed as well as being a staple for some decks (but not recommended). If your opponent doesn't defeat Mado nna then it will be a big problem for them because when Abyss Script is activated you search 1 Abyss Actor monster directly onto the field from the deck and instead of being sent to the grave at the end of the turn the monster gets The summon is returned to the hand at the end of the turn , which does reduce defense at the end of the turn. But if you Xyz out Number 70 or Abyss Dweller, you can change the game or overwhelm your opponent. You can Set Scale Mado nna then search for Wild Hope then summon Pendulum monsters from Level 3 to 8 thanks to Wild Hope's effect .

Wild Hope is a card that has two abilities to create combos as well as create high mutations in the deck. Wild Hope has the ability to change the Scale of an Abyss Actor monster except it to 9 and so you can summon an Abyss Actor monster without having to worry about setting the two scales being far apart and the side effect is This turn you can only special summon the Abyss Actor monster , which does not affect pure Pendulum gameplay

Wild Hope has another ability to open combos, but not the turn the effect is activated but the next turn. Specifically, when Wild Hope is destroyed, it allows you to search for any Abyss Actor card from the deck in your hand, this helps us not lose money when trading with raigeki breaks or opponent's monsters. If you search for Mado nna , then the next turn you can use Mado nna Search or use Mado nna to block the attack. ( Wild Hope Level 4 so Chaos Number 39 likes Wild Hope and Mado nna very much)

Super Star is a monster that can recycle Abyss Script but costs a lot for Pendulum decks. That is, you sacrifice 1 Abyss Actor to get 1 Abyss Script from the grave to your hand (when the Pendulum monster is sacrificed, it will return to the Extra Deck). In addition, Super Star also has the ability to search directly for 1 Abyss Script from the Deck onto the field to diversify situations (OTK, play,...) (I will explain more clearly in the Abyss Script section how powerful the Abyss Script is). But will be sent to the grave at the end of the turn.

Abyss Actor - Sassy Rookie, Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King and Abyss Script - Fire Dragon's Lair (X2-3)

Sassy Rookie is a LEVEL 4 monster and has the ability to protect your important Abyss Actor monsters from being destroyed by battle or effects by destroying itself (if all of your Abyss Actor monsters are destroyed). destroyed by a card such as Lightning Vortex , you only need to destroy this card, the other Abyss Actor monsters will be unharmed). Sassy Rookie has the ability to not be destroyed by battle or effect once per turn and if it is destroyed by effect or battle it summons 1 Level 4 or lower Abyss Actor monster from the deck to the field (A lump of meat can withstand 2 hits or explosions and can also add another lump of meat) Remember to play Kiteroid, guys . If this card in the Pendulum Zone is destroyed, you can target and destroy 1 of your opponent's Level 4 or lower monsters (Spellbook hates this).

Lair has the ability to fight with Extra Deck users extremely well, Lair 's ability allows the opponent to choose and banish 3 monsters from the extra deck if your Abyss Actor destroys an opponent's monster by battle, this will greatly weaken decks like Makayashi or Shiranui because there are no more items to play after controlling the field. If this card of yours and you are controlling is destroyed by your opponent and you have a face-up Pendulum card in your Extra Deck, you can look at your opponent's Extra Deck and banish 1 card, actually the below effect is strong. More than the above Effect, because the opponent chooses 3 cards, they will choose the most beneficial for them, but if you are an experienced player and know how to banish 1 card to win, you will easily control the game. For example, if Makayashi banishes 3 monsters, it will be banned so that it can be played, and if you banish 1 card, you can ban the vehicle to prevent it from synchro like climbing a tower (actually, no one plays a vehicle here). just an example).

Rise Of The Abyss King has the ability to destroy face-up cards on the field up to the number of Abyss Actor monsters other than names you control, and if you have a Level 7 or higher monster on the field, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects. response when this card activates (a Level 7 or higher monster does not need to be an Abyss Actor). If this card of yours face down on the field is destroyed by your opponent, you can add up to 2 Abyss Actors and/or Abyss Scripts from your deck to your hand (and/or here that means you can add 1 Abyss Actor and 1 Abyss Script, not necessarily 2 Abyss Actor and 2 Abyss Script).

Abyss Actor - Evil Heel and Abyss Actor - Twinkle Little Star (X0-1)

Little Star is a rather situational monster with both its Monster and Pendulum Effect , so even though the Scale is 9, the rate of appearing in Abyss Actor decks is extremely low (except for F2P decks). With the first effect, Little Star bestows an Abyss monster. Actor attacks 3 times on the monster and other monsters cannot be attacked . It has many weaknesses such as: that monster must have large ATK or the opponent's monster must have ATK. low, the opponent must have 3 monsters to maximize this effect because Abyss Actor is a Pendulum deck, so summoning 3 monsters to the field is very easy, so if you use this effect on a monster and that monster is destroyed, you will lose 2 monsters. Other monsters can only stand and watch. The second effect is quite... Confusing to allow a 1000 ATK monster, Little Star, to attack 3 times and not be destroyed by battle . I agree that Power Of The Guardian can be played with this card. , however that is quite cumbersome and consumes unnecessary resources

Evil Heel is also a situational monster and not versatile, it is true that it is a Level 8 monster with 3000 ATK and successful people always have their own path, but this path is a bit of a failure because Abyss Actor is currently pure Pendulum and Xyz Rank 4 and 7 (which doesn't fit Evil Heel ). Evil Heel has the ability to sacrifice an Abyss Actor monster to target and cause the enemy monster to lose ATK equal to the original ATK of the sacrificed monster . This sounds fine because the sacrificed monster will enter the extra deck but in the current meta. , being bombarded by spells/traps (Blue-Eyes, Shiranui, D/D/D,...) or not being destroyed is too much (Red Nova, Azure Eyes, Dreadmaster, Bloom Diva,...) even Even if you can't OTK and put your energy into it, it's easy to get reverse OTK (Lunalight, Thunder Dragon,...). Evil Heel 's monster effect is rated higher than Pendulum, however if released a few months ago it would probably be more useful than it is now, this effect will target and reduce monster ATK by 1000. method corresponding to each Abyss Actor monster you control until the end of the turn , making it easier for you to end the battle in tense or advantageous situations, and if this monster destroys the opponent's monster by battle. In battle, you can set 1 Abyss Script directly from the Graveyard . And reading this far, you probably know why Evil Heel does NOT appear in the Abyss Actor deck or only appears once.

First: you have to sacrifice an Abyss Actor monster to reduce the opponent's ATK, but it is not certain whether your Abyss Actor monster can attack or not (due to being hit by a spell/trap from the enemy).

Second: After summoning the flashing effect, this monster will become a Blue-Eyes fake because there is nothing left to do, it is true that when killing an enemy monster, it will take 1 Abyss Script from the grave to the field, but because there is no Main Phase 2 so Super Star is a safer choice and less vulnerable to Drowning Mirror Force

Third: the opponent can take advantage of this monster's 3000 ATK to activate skills or summon Chaos Number 39 and finish you off before you spam Evil Heel every turn to attack.

Staple

Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Sky Iris (X0-3)

Sky Iris is one of the very good protection cards of Odd-Eyes or Performaple, but here Sky Iris only does one task, which is +1 Odd-Eyes to the hand each turn. If you destroy a Pendulum monster that you normally summon, you can add Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon to OTK or Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to search, then you summon Pendulum back to the monster that was destroyed because the Pendulum monster was destroyed. will return to the Extra Deck, so Sky Iris will both help you defend and help you search.

Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon is a Staple monster of high Level decks that has a lower brick rate than Blue-Eyes like Thunder Dragon and Abyss Actor. This monster is summoned by sacrificing a Level 5 or higher monster. Therefore, this will result in the loss of 1 Normal Summon, but in return when this monster is Tributed Summoned, you can shoot 1 enemy monster and deal damage to them equal to half that monster's ATK (no target). ) Now I understand why Evil Heel was left out . In addition, if Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon destroys an opponent's monster, you can special summon from the grave or hand a Level 5 or higher monster in defensive position. This is no different from recycling a pendulum monster because when it comes to the field. Pendulum monsters that are destroyed again will return to the Extra Deck and summoning defense position will reduce the chance of the opponent's OTK being able to cause it.

Usually, few people play Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon because it is Scale 4, so summoning Number 39 may be slower than other Scales, however Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon has the ability to cause double damage if attacked. Enemy monsters , this will be useful when adding Evil Heel as support for OTK with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon . While in Pendulum Zone Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon will become a Pendulum-specific Kuriboh when damage received from enemy monsters to your Pendulum monster each turn you can reduce it to 0. And in the End Phase you can destroy Destroy this card (of course it will return to the Extra Deck) and add 1 Pendulum monster with ATK 1500 or less from your Deck to your hand . A Kuriboh that can search.

Number 70: Malevolent Sin, Number 39: Utopia and Number C39: Utopia Ray (X1)

Number 39 is a Staple monster often used to OTK when comboing with Double Or Nothing or Chaos Number 39. Here I will talk about OTK with Chaos Number 39. Number 39 itself has the ability to block attacks and summon conditions. Recovery only requires Level 4 monsters and this deck focuses on Chaos Number 39 more than Number 39.

There are two ways to summon Chaos Number 39: using 3 LIGHT Level 4 monsters or using Number 39, because most use Number 39 because it only needs 2 Level 4 monsters and does not require LIGHT. Specifically: use Number 39 and all Xyz materials of Number 39 as materials for Chaos Number 39 to Xyz summon this card. If your LP is 1000 or lower you will Unlock the OTK power of Chaos Number 39, by removing 1 Xyz material increases Chaos Number 39 by 500 ATK and reduces the enemy monster's ATK by 1000 (not targeted) and if you remove 3 Xyz materials then Chaos Number 39 will be 4000 ATK and the opponent's monster will be -3000 ATK.

Number 70 is known for its very annoying ability to banish until Standby Phase. Banish monsters do not necessarily face up and if you summon 2 Number 70 on the field, your OTK ability will be very high.

Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn, Enemy Controller and Mystical Space Typhoon (X1-2)

Unicorn is in this deck for a pretty good reason... Easy to understand, because it's Scale 8... That's it :3 oh no Evil Heel is Cringe

Enemy Controller is a multi-use card that allows you to defend by changing the position of your opponent's monsters or forcing the Super Heavy Samurai to make peace with you.

As for attacking, Enemy Controller allows you to sacrifice 1 of your monsters to target stealing 1 enemy monster until the end of the turn (the Pendulum monster on the field that is sacrificed will return to the Extra Deck). And what's better than stealing an enemy monster to Xyz summon or using that monster's effect or body to OTK its owner?

MST allows you to target and destroy a spell/trap on the field, usually your opponent's, to open a combo without being controlled.

Plaguespreader Zombie (X1)

Pla Zombie mainly comes with the Zombie Draw skill that allows you to access Synchro summoning, in addition Pla Zombie also has the ability to revive from the grave by placing 1 card in your hand into the deck, and has the ability to combine with Mado nna put +0 hand instead of -1

Present & Future

Abyss Actor is a deck with high potential and will probably become Tier 3 or higher later, but in TCG and OCG Abyss Actor is being forgotten and has little strong support, but in duel links thanks to future skills. Maybe Abyss Actor will be stronger in the future.
