Skills
Core
- Can banish a monster your opponent controls twice. Activated separately.
- Can attack twice if the first attack destroys a monster.
- Can deal effect damage if 1 monster is destroyed by battle
- Can temporarily banish 1 card from your opponent's hand.
It wouldn't be surprising to have an extremely handy tech like Sphere Kuriboh as a core. Not only does Sphere Kuriboh help you escape death for a few turns, but it also helps provide the necessary materials to summon BLS to the field. So, if possible, play all 3 copies of this card.
- Use Super Soldier Synthesis to Ritual Summon Black Luster Soldier from your hand or grave by sending 1 Beginning Knight and 1 Evening Twilight Knight (1 from your hand and 1 from your Deck) to the graveyard. The fact that one of your materials comes from the Deck helps reduce the cost of demanding Ritual Summons.
- Using Super Soldier Ritual you will get up to 2 ritual summons, but usually in builds you will only play 1 to 2 BLS ritual monsters so using this card is not very common because it is not limited. gives you the conditions to summon BLS.
Other Archetype leaves
Extra Deck
- Delteros is arguably the best because its summon cannot be negated or affected by Floodgate Trap Hole and it also has an effect to discard cards. The floating effect will not be usable here because there are no other " tellarknights " in the deck. But if you want, you can just put 1 Satellarknight Altair in your deck so that Delteros can float into it when destroyed, this will help specifically summon Delteros back from the grave. It won't have materials, but it might be good to at least have a monster on the field to prevent attacks.
- Another option for Rank 4 with 3 ingredients using Star Seraph is Ouroboros . It has 3 separate effects, but each effect can only be used once. Compared to Delteros , Ouroboros is better if you summon it on turn 1 to make your opponent discard 1 card. But its card removal effect can only be used once. Even so, neither Ouroboros nor Delteros would have lasted this long if it weren't so important.
- As a final option, having Number 91 in your Extra Deck gives you the option to destroy untargetable monsters, but it can only be used once.
- Malevolent Sin is an anti-Xyz tech and acts as a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon . Summon Malevolent Sin and use its effect to temporarily banish your opponent's Xyz monster. Xyz Monsters will return without any materials attached.
- Roach is great for destroying high-level monsters or Synchro monsters, like a Trap Hole card. When your opponent summons their main monster, use Roach 's effect to destroy it immediately. This is an especially good counter against Synchro Decks. But most of the time, Roach 's mere presence on the field is enough to intimidate opponents from creating huge monsters.
- Dire Wolf is a pretty good general pick for removal. Its purpose is to destroy itself along with an opponent's card.
- Heraldry Patriarch is basically an anti-Harpie tech. Harpies are all renamed "Harpie Lady" so the first effect of Heraldry Patriarch can be used for removal, even on your opponent's turn. The Heraldry Patriarch will then prevent opponents from resurrecting the Harpies as they are all considered "Harpie Lady" while in the grave.
- Summon Gagaga Samurai to deal massive damage to your opponents. If your opponent is willing to be attacked directly, the Samurai can attack twice to deal a total of 3800 damage on his own.
- The first card of the Lightsworn series, Michael can banish 1 card from the field, as long as you pay 1000 LP. This effect is especially strong in your deck, it gives you 1 extra banish turn. In addition, keeping Michael on the field until the end of the turn can also be a good idea because he can replenish materials for your graveyard by milling 3 cards on the top of your deck, helping to thin out the cards and draw the necessary cards. device that you have not withdrawn yet. However, it's not certain that this will be useful, you can use it to Synchro directly to another monster or like I said, keep it on the field as a shield for you. Because if it is destroyed, your deck will be full of materials again.
- As for Fortune Lady Every , this card is especially suitable for lines that only use Spellcasters, but it is also suitable for Lightsworn because of the presence of Lumina , helping you satisfy the continuous revival conditions of Every and gives you another useful non-target banish.
- Finally, Black Rose Dragon - the most common level 7 Synchro card in the Extra Deck mercenaries, you can summon it to destroy the entire front deck to set up the summoning of the following BLS. This way your resources will not be wasted in vain.
Engine
Sometimes just relying on the strength of each BLS is really not enough. That's why many players combine BLS with other lines to test and apply different strengths, helping to increase the stability of BLS. The following are typical "mercenary" lines.
Techs
- Betrayer can be summoned from the grave and you can take advantage of this summon through milling Lightsworn cards. Betrayer gives you a banishment in your opponent's GY, helping you control the game against decks that rely too much on graves. However, you should be careful with reflective matchups, you should consider before banishing Beginings and ETs because doing so will activate their abilities and give the opponent another round of ritual summons. .
- Sorcerer can be summoned from the hand and can be more useful than Betrayer because it can banish 1 face-up monster from the field, making it easier to clear the field than Betrayer .
