Recommended Posts

Level 4 monsters
Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. You can detach 1 Xyz Material to lower this card's DEF by any amount this turn and increase its ATK by the same amount, These changes last until the End Phase. During the End Phase, change this card to Defence Position.

 

Well.. after Ark's translation of the effect, it's certainly more playable now, albeit even more stupidly designed than the initial translation, gdi.

I nearly freaked out before realizing I read it wrong.

 

It does not say "INCREASE this card's DEF by any amount". Phew.

 

 

 

EXACT  same thing happened to me. Don't worry. As is, its junk. May or may not get a buff. We just have so many Rank 4 Numbers the way it is....

It's IRL version I'd assume would be something like this:

 

2 Level 4 monsters

Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; switch this card's ATK with it's DEF until the End Phase.

 

It's also not too out of place to think it could be a 3 material monster.

Says that Mr. Heartland used it. Considering his deck seems to focus on swarming, that very well could be.

I come back to you now, bearing Ark's translation of the lore:

 

"You can detach 1 Xyz Material to lower this card's DEF by any amount this turn and increase its ATK by the same amount, but it lasts only this turn. When the turn ends, change this card to Defense Position."

 

Also confirmed 2 material.

 

That last effect and Material count definitely make it more playable.

It's a stupidly designed card if it's released like that, and anyone that wanted it shouldn't bitch when it bites them in the ass.

Is a horribly unbalanced design to make an eternal 3000 monster with no drawback. It even dodges BTH.

"Playable" is an understatement. Plain broken? No, but very stupidly made, thought out, and executed if released as is/similarly.

Hilarious to Fiendish Chain though.
