The Wicked Avatar Ruling


Recommended Posts

So, if I equip Ring of Magnetism to The Wicked Avatar, does his effect override the change?

By the way, can Honest override Avatar?

I will reiterate:

Avatar's effect will ALWAYS adjust to X + 100, where X is the ATK of the strongest monster on the field. Weaken it all you want, it will always be supreme in battle.

The Wicked Gods are fun, but meh. Eraser is horrible, Dreadroot's rather cool, and Avatar's the best, simple as that.

Avatar's effect is continuous. It will always adjust before any further steps in anything occurs. The only way to defeat Avatar in Battle is to negate its effect. You can never, ever overpower it otherwise.

The official ruling is that both Avatars would have the ATK of the highest ATK monster on the field, so they would have equal ATK to one another. They do not create an infinite loop (for some reason).

Both Avatars would have equal ATK. If they're the only monsters, they'd each have 100 ATK. The Wicked Avatar excludes "The Wicked Avatar" during its check of the highest ATK monster on the field. That's all "The Wicked Avatar" cards.

So yes, the only card that can defeat The Wicked Avatar in battle without negating one of the effects is...another The Wicked Avatar. That does not quite counter my point that it's impossible to overpower Avatar, since in this case, a monster impossible to overpower in battle fights to a draw with another monster impossible to overpower in battle.

I wonder if people on Wc10's wifi will think Honest defeats Avatar.
They triple Honest, Avatar auto-kills them regardless, they rage-quit.
And then a few minutes later a topic on GameFAQs will appear saying [duelist [X]] is a cheater because of [oblivious to rulings-reason]

I would honestly like to see this.

There is apparently one way of overpowering The Wicked Avatar in battle .. quoted from Yugioh Wiki:

[quote]* The Wicked Dreadroot: When "The Wicked Dreadroot" and "The Wicked Avatar" are both on the field, whichever monster was Summoned last has its effect applied. If "The Wicked Avatar" is Summoned after "The Wicked Dreadroot", "The Wicked Avatar"'s ATK/DEF are not halved. If "The Wicked Dreadroot" is Summoned after "The Wicked Avatar", "The Wicked Avatar"'s ATK/DEF are halved.[10] [/quote]

Though I don't really get that (nor am I sure it is true, but hey, it's on the Wiki).. Shouldn't it be like: Dreadroot is summoned, Avatar's ATK is halved.. Dreadroot's ATK is higher, so Avatar gets Dreadroot's ATK +100 ..

EDIT: source of the wiki ruling is the Konami FAQ [url="http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=39272&event=FE0006"]here[/url], but it's a Japanese text, so hey ..

EDIT2: [quote]Avatar + Last Turn = Profit [/quote]

Oh, that would be evil ..

Hmm...the Wiki should be wrong there. There is no reason why the monster summoned LAST gets to trump the other. They're both Continuous Effects. This isn't like Skill Drain vs Jinzo (whichever is active first trumps the other), because that's a matter of negating the other. I'm going to try to find an official ruling on that, but I believe that since Avatar's ATK is based on the strongest monster on the field, its ATK will reapply even if Dreadroot halves it, because otherwise it's not following its own Continuous Effect, while Dreadroot is halving Avatar, it's just not lasting because of Avatar's effect.

If Dreadroot set an absolute value for the monsters it affected, then that Wiki entry would work. Avatar's effect does set an absolute value (X + 100).

EDIT: Official ruling is Avatar supersedes all other ATK/DEF modifiers that try to interact with it. It was released alongside Dreadroot, so you'd think if the Wiki was correct, there would be a mention of "Except Dreadroot" in the ruling.
