Strong Sword Beast

[Qliphort Tool]

I just heard someone said EARTH is lack of good specific Xyz, so I decided to make something competitively for them. and thx to Vector Nightmare, it's now much better than the old one :)

 

Lore:

2 Level 4 EARTH monsters
When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can destroy 1 face-down card your opponent controls. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up monster you control; this turn, if it attacks a Defense Position monster, it gains 300 ATK and is unaffected by other card effect until the end of the Damage Step, also inflict Piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.

Lore:

2 Level 4 EARTH monsters
When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can destroy 1 face-down card your opponent controls. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up monster you control; while that target is face-up on the field, if it attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict Piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.

In response to the last review in the contest thread;

not that many decks can efficiently make it or find space for it

Geargias, Gadgets, Gem-Knights and to a lesser extent X-Sabers can bring this out consistently. It's not stellar in any of those decks, but it can be quite a good option when you just need something generic to push with.

It needs a small buff. I'd prefer it if it gave a more powerful version of the effect (for example +400 ATK, piercing and immunity to effects while attacking) but only lasted until the End Phase. It won't survive often enough to make the persistent piercing effect noticeable anyway.
