Altergeist Guide

Altergeist Multifaker (x2)

DARK 3

Altergeist Multifaker

• ATK:

• 1200

• DEF:

• 800

---

If you activate a Trap Card (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Altergeist" monster from your Deck in Defense Position, except "Altergeist Multifaker". You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except "Altergeist" monsters. You can only use each effect of "Altergeist Multifaker" once per turn.

This card is the core card of the deck , any build will revolve around this card. I was quite shocked to see that Konami gave us these two cards... and they were also free!

Multifaker has the ability to summon itself from your hand every time you use Trap. And when it is summoned, it means it can summon any Altergeist in the deck in defense position (mainly Altergeist Silquitous to threaten opponents).

Everyone wants to have this card as soon as possible, so 90% of the time when using Altergeist Meluseek and Personal Spoofing we will aim for Multifaker. Oh, and remember, you can only use this eff if you only special summon Altergeist before!

Altergeist Marionetter (x2-3)

LIGHT 4

Altergeist Marionetter

• ATK:

• 1600

• DEF:

• 1700

---

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Set 1 "Altergeist" Trap directly from your Deck to your Spell & Trap Zone. You can target 1 "Altergeist" card you control and 1 "Altergeist" monster in your GY; send that card on the field to the GY, and if you do, Special Summon that other monster from your GY. You can only use this effect of "Altergeist Marionetter" once per turn.

Not only does it help set traps, it also makes it easier for Link to summon . Allows you to set 2 trap cards: Altergeist Manifestation or Altergeist Emulatelf from the deck.

Marionetter also has a second effect of sending 1 Altergeist card on your field (including itself) to the Graveyard to special summon another Altergeist Monster from the Graveyard. This allows you to reactivate Altergeist Multifaker or just to summon Altergeist Meluseek back.

This card has not yet reached its full potential because it is still lacking in Duel Links.

Altergeist Meluseek (x1-3)

WATER 1

Altergeist Meluseek

• ATK:

• 500

• DEF:

• 300

---

This card can attack directly. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; send it to the GY. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can add 1 "Altergeist" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Altergeist Meluseek". You can only use this effect of "Altergeist Meluseek" once per turn.

Both a searcher and a removal effect . Meluseek can attack directly, which allows it to easily activate its second effect of sending 1 opponent's card to the Graveyard when it deals Battle Dmg.

But most notably, it can add any Altergeist Monster from your deck to your hand if it is sent from the Yard to the Graveyard. With Support of Link-1 Monsters like Linkuriboh and Artemis, Magistus Moon Maiden , you will have more ways to access the Altergeist Multifaker card to ensure you can play the game.

Altergeist Silquitous (x2)

WIND 2

Altergeist Silquitous

• ATK:

• 800

• DEF:

• 1500

---

(Quick Effect): You can return 1 other "Altergeist" card you control to the hand, then target 1 card your opponent controls; return it to the hand. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can target 1 "Altergeist" Trap in your GY; add that card to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Altergeist Silquitous" once per turn.

This will be the main target to summon with Multifaker's effect . Silquitous can return 1 other Altergeist card on your field to your Hand to Return a card your opponent controls. This plays a huge role in gameplay, making opponents uncomfortable and is why it will often be recovered by Multifaker.

When sent from Field to GY, it can also recycle another Trap Altergeist in your GY by adding it back to your hand.

Altergeist Kunquery (x1)

EARTH 5

Altergeist Kunquery

• ATK:

• 0

• DEF:

• 2400

---

When an opponent's monster declares an attack, if you control an "Altergeist" card: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, negate that attack. If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; negate the effects of that card while it and this monster are face-up on the field.

Negate attack and counterattack are super annoying . As long as you are controlling an Altergeist card, you can special summon Kunquery from your hand to block your opponent's attack with a bonus of 1 piece of DEF 2400, so Kunquery is a great way to defend through the battle phase when you are weak. .

On top of that, Kunq also Negates your opponent's card when it is summoned and as long as it remains on the field, making this card a good choice when playing Altergeist Multifaker as well.

Important note : Kunquery's attack stopping effect is not limited to one per turn. So you can completely return Kunquery with the effect of Altergeist Silquitous and can continue to negate the attack. In addition, we can also shuffle Kunquery on the field again with Personal Spoofing and add the add back to use it a second time.

Personal Spoofing (x1)

Trap Continuous

Personal Spoofing

---

Once per turn: You can shuffle 1 "Altergeist" card from your hand or face-up from your field into the Main Deck; add 1 "Altergeist" monster from your Deck to your hand.

---

Duel Link :

This is also another way to easily get the Altergeist Multifaker starter . Unfortunately, this card cannot be searched in Archetype because it does not have the word "Altergeist" in its name, meaning Marionetter cannot place it face down on the field and Silquitous cannot return it either.

By shuffling 1 Altergeist card from your Hand or field to the Deck, you can add any Altergeist Monster of your choice. Again, just to be sure, this effect will primarily target A ltergeist Multifaker in most cases, but on the following turns, you will mainly consider adding A ltergeist Kunquery or Altergeist Marionetter .

It should be noted that if you activate and immediately use the effect of Spoofing and add Multifaker, Multifaker will be able to "see" that you activated Trap and can special summon itself from the said hand. Note that Spoofing will shuffle 1 card as a cost, so you will suffer -1 (loss) if your opponent chains something to remove Spoofing from the field.

Altergeist Hexstia (x2-3)

FIRE

Altergeist Hexstia

• ATK:

• 1500

• LINK-2

Link Arrow:

---

2 "Altergeist" monsters Gains ATK equal to the original ATK of each "Altergeist" monster it points to. When a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 "Altergeist" monster this card points to; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can add 1 "Altergeist" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Altergeist Hexstia" once per turn.

This card is responsible for Negate Spell/Trap and the main damage of the deck . You can negate and destroy any active spell/trap by tribute the Altergeist this card points to (Link arrow). This effect is Soft One Per so it means that the more Hexstia on the field, the more Negate turns we have.

Altergeist Primebanshee (x1)

DARK

Altergeist Primebanshee

• ATK:

• 2100

• LINK-3

Link Arrow:

2+ "Altergeist" monsters During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 other "Altergeist" monster; Special Summon 1 "Altergeist" monster from your Deck to your zone this card points to. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: You can target 1 "Altergeist" card in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Altergeist Primebanshee" once per turn.

A Link 3 card is essential for playing around Multifaker. Admittedly, you will rarely summon Primebanshee when playing. But when you get the chance to summon it, think of it as if you just won a duel.

Summoning an Altergeist straight from the deck with Quick Effect (at a cost of 1 tribute) can do many things... things that I explained in the Multifaker section. Well, honestly, think of this as a Link 3 Multifaker .

Altergeist Manifestation and Altergeist Emulatelf (Traps)

Trap Normal

Altergeist Manifestation

---

Target 1 "Altergeist" monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Attack Position, and if you do, equip it with this card. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Altergeist" Trap in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Altergeist Manifestation" once per turn.

Trap Continuous

Altergeist Emulatelf

---

Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Spellcaster/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 1400/DEF 1800). (This card is also still a Trap.) If Summoned this way, while it is in the Monster Zone, other "Altergeist" Traps you control cannot be destroyed by card effects, also neither player can target them with card effects.

1 card is Call of the Haunted Altergeist version. 1 card is the Trap monster of the deck.

• Altergeist Manifestation (x1-2) will be the main Altergeist trap card in your deck. You can read the effect of this card yourself. I will mention a few important things about this card: the second effect can recover its own copy. And please note that this is a Normal Trap, not a continuous trap like the other cards. Assuming this card leaves the field with an active effect (for example, capturing Cosmic), we will still be able to summon Altergeist. And this is quite important when you immediately chain with the effect of Altergeist Silquitous or Personal Spoofing , we will save costs.
  
  
• Altergeist Emulatelf is simply a trap monster used to spam Link summons, in addition to protecting your Altergeist traps from effects. Run out of

Personal Spoofing (Prioritize)

Trap Continuous

Personal Spoofing

---

Once per turn: You can shuffle 1 "Altergeist" card from your hand or face-up from your field into the Main Deck; add 1 "Altergeist" monster from your Deck to your hand.

Duel Link :

( This should have been the Personal Spoofing skill, but for some reason I used this card as a representative )

Set Personal Spoofing from nowhere on your side of the field if you control a Link Altergeist in the Main Monster Zone. A skill that seems to only really come into play in the mid and late game, but it gives you the ability to activate Multifaker for free in late situations where you don't have traps on the field. And just using Personal Spoofing is enough to give you full value for the rest of the match if the only Spoofing in your deck has been removed by your opponent.

The Legend of the Heroes (Skill Card) and LP Boost Alpha (Increases LP)

The Legend of the Heroes (Skill Card)

• ATK:

• 0

• DEF:

• 0

---

Each of the following effects can be used once per Duel. ・Can be used if the total Link Rating of the monsters on your field is 3 or more. Increase your Life Points by 2000. ・Can be used on turn 5 and onward. Return 4 Link Monsters from your Graveyard to the Extra Deck, and add 1 "Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax" from outside of your Deck to your Extra Deck.

LP Boost Alpha

• ATK:

• 0

• DEF:

• 0

---

Increases starting Life Points by 1000.

LP Boost Alpha/ Legend of the Heroes . Both skills have the same purpose: to give you more LP for survival. LP Boost Alpha seems to be the best because it is activated right from the beginning of the game, while Legend of the Heroes will require you to wait a few turns to activate the first part to receive 2k LP. The second effect of the skill will also appear rarely.
