Premier Alexander Romanov Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 LIGHT/Fairy/Xyz/Rank 5/2900 ATK/2400 DEF 4 Level 5 LIGHT monsters Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. If this card is Xyz Summoned by Ranking Up "Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry", it gains these effects. ● You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the effects of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, also its ATK becomes 0. ● If this face-up card on the field would be destroyed, you can detach all of its Xyz Materials instead. If you do: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to this card's ATK. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopy Star - Eon Sphere Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well, as the last of the Number C10X Numbers to be released... I'm sort of underwhelmed. This card's effects are good, and heck, its got a great self-preservation effect. It's just that on a Ranked-Up 3-Material Rank 4, even Umbral Horror Masquerade's lol half your opponent's Life Points felt a bit like it wasn't worth the effort. The only way I could see this being useful is if one of it's effects didn't require Number 102 as an Xyz Material. That would probably be the preservation effect, in which case I would run this if I had space. Protection from destruction with 2900 guaranteed burn? Sign me up. Especially once you realise that even on top of a 2 mat Rank 4, If it were Stoic Challenged, If you attacked anything with 2150 or less ATK, you'd win during their End Phase, when Stoic Challenge destroys itself.

The main problem with this card is that we already have a card that does this for much less Materials: Starliege Paladynamo. While having a 2000 ATK body, Paladynamo can still get the job done with a bit more Xyz Materials as the cost, and when he goes away, you get a card.

Maeriberii Haan Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I guess when its released, the negation effect will become its normal effect, while the protection is the rank up effect (if assuming the same thing as C6). If so, wouldn't really be a shabby target for Limited Barian Force to be honesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, considering that it has the 3rd-highest ATK of any monster SSable by LBF (C104 and C69 being bigger), and either effect is useful as a non-Rank-Up effect.

Maeriberii Haan Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Either effect not being restricted to having that crappy 102 as material would make this card good (and 102 will still be a mediocre, outclassed card). And both effects could result in free 2900 damage, which is quite huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastar Rainford Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Free minimum 2900 damage >.> Pair this with c80 or mage power,2000 to 2500 extra damage that you can hit on your own with dark hole,scrap dragon,torrential,BRD,jeweled rda. Possible otk if used right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 TC, it's not Fallen Star Seraph, it's just Fallen Seraph. Archfiend: デーモン Star Seraph: 光天使 Fallen: ＣＮｏ．１０２光堕天使ノーブル・デーモン Sentry: Ｎｏ．１０２光天使グローリアス・ヘイロー See? It's like this, because aside from the name, it's effect is also basically backwards-Sentry.

evilfusion Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 So...C102 isn't a Holy Lightning, despite being called Unholy Lightning? And instead it becomes part of the Archfiend archetype? This gives me Mazera vs Zerato vibes. Not surprised that C102 is meh, after all, regular 102 is meh. And the fact Durbe got almost no support with a mediocre archetype and very few Duels meant he was getting screwed. It's the same logic that made me realize that once Nasch returned to the Barians, Durbe would not only have no rival to be an antagonist to, but the Barians would outnumber the protagonists to an absurd degree and at least one of the Emperors was going to get screwed over badly.

玄魔の王 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Am I the only one who noticed the lack of OPT on the drain effect? That sort of helps it, but I agree with everyone that it really needed to be something better, or Star Seraph need ways to churn this guy out better.

Aerion Brightflame Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Or just make the Paladus effect the non specific material effect and suddenly it becomes a fairly decent Limited Force target. Especially sicne it's perminant drain and negate. That's the best thing that can be done for the card now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
