Number C32: Shark Drake Viess


Recommended Posts

I think it would be more fitting to say it was MY revelation. Your comment in that status triggered it, but still.

 

As I say in all C32 topics, it's inferior as a Chaos Number to C39 on the basis that Shark Drake is significantly harder to bring out on a whim in a losing situation. While Veiss is more formidable for moves past a single strike, its difficulty in bringing out combined with the fact it's not extraordinarily difficult to get rid of means it's underwhelming.

 

Since Utopia is a 2 Material, topdecking Rescue Rabbit when your LP is 1000 or less can give you the Materials, which makes Utopia, which evolves to C39 with 3 Materials, allowing up to 4000 damage, which can usually win the game right there with just one card. But to do the same thing with Veiss, you need to somehow produce 3 Level 4 monsters with low LP, and when you evolve Shark Drake (which is already a potential game pusher) into Veiss...you get a monster that can deal 2800 damage.

 

Sadly, regular Shark Drake can usually do that much damage or more already, so Veiss becomes a final blow, or an offensive stall since it's a Quick Effect that turns a monster's ATK to 0. Another advantage of C39 was that Utopia used to be a staple, so Reborn or Mind Control on an opponent's Utopia could evolve to C39 just for the hell of it, whereas Veiss is unlikely to ever acheive that, nor does Veiss even HAVE a use when your LP is over 1000. Shark Drake has a very good effect, but Veiss is a 2800 beater that does nothing if your LP is over 1000. C39 could keep Utopia from self-destructing if you were really desperate.

Those spikes near the back legs seem similar to the special fins male sharks have to hold their partners during mating. So I say the specimen depicted in the artwork of the card is a male.

I would like to Rank-Up magic it for the lulz, even if my deck can summon it without RUM or Number 32.

The only other under 100 Numbers that actually have a chance of getting Chaos Numbers.....

96 ( It IS getting one, only time will tell how good it will be )
17 ( I read long ago, there are production notes of a Chaos Number 17 that existed before Zexal started, but whether anything will come from it is unknown )
66 ( Possible since it's a plot device. Unlikely though. )
47 ( Should Chaos Numbers appear in the Manga )

Let's hope ( no pun intended ) they would/will be better than this.
