Maeriberii Haan Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Assault Dragon is an offensive FIRE Dinosaur-type archetype focusing on field control and beatdown. They have many extra normal summon effects, but they cannot really swarm easily, preferring to tribute their monsters for their bosses, in a way akin to Monarch. Idk if I can test this soonish, tbh. Though, I think I messed something up really bad here. [hr]Monsters [spoiler=Raptor Cadet] If this card is the only monster you control, you can Normal Summon an additional Dinosaur-type monster this turn, but you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of the turn. When this card is tributed, add 1 “Assault Dragon” monster from your deck to your hand, except "Assault Dragon Forerunner, Raptor Cadet". Each effects of “Assault Dragon Forerunner, Raptor Cadet” can only be activated once per turn. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Jetptera] If this card is the only monster you control, you can Normal Summon an additional Dinosaur-type monster this turn, but you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of the turn. When this card on the field is tributed, target 1 card on the field; return it to its owner’s hand. Each effects of “Assault Dragon Support Unit, Jetptera” can only be activated once per turn. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Parashield] If this card is the only monster you control, you can Normal Summon an additional Dinosaur-type monster this turn, but you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of the turn.

Each effects of “Assault Dragon Support Unit, Parashield” can only be activated once per turn. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Brachiammo] If a Level 6 or higher "Assault Dragon" monster battles a monster: you can discard this card; it gains 1000 ATK during the battle. During your Main Phase, you can banish this card from your graveyard; add 1 "Assault Dragon" Spell or Trap Card from your deck to your hand. Only one effect of “Assault Dragon Supply Unit, Brachiammo” can be activated per turn, and only once that turn. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Strike Raptor] When this card is Normal Summoned, discard 1 card; add 1 “Assault Dragon” monster from your deck to your hand. When this card destroys a monster by battle, you can tribute this card; Special Summon 1 level 6 or higher “Assault Dragon” from your hand. Monsters summoned by this effect are treated as being Tribute Summoned. Only one effect of “Assault Dragon Attacker, Strike Raptor” can be activated per turn, and only once that turn.

Once per turn, you can tribute 1 “Assault Dragon” monster you control and target 1 card on the field; destroy it, then banish it from the graveyard. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Chargetops] When this card is tribute summoned, you can target 1 face-up card on the field; return it to its owner's hand. If you Tribute Summoned this card by tributing an "Assault Dragon" monster, return it to the top of its owner's deck instead. When this card destroys a monster by battle, draw 1 card. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Bombardrex] When this card is tribute summoned; destroy 1 Spell or Trap card your opponent controls, and if the tributed monster is an “Assault Dragon” monster, you can destroy 1 other Spell or Trap card on the field. During either player’s turn, you can shuffle 3 “Assault Dragon” monsters from your graveyard to your deck; banish 2 cards from your opponent’s graveyard. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Brachioship] Cannot be Special Summoned. You can Tribute Summon this card using 1 "Assault Dragon" monster.

Darj Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I don't really get why they are named "Dragon" when they are Dinosaur-Type. First thing I checked were for 200 DEF monsters and sure enough, there are a couple of them; Rekindling fun. Plus some more of them have less than 200 DEF for potential Firedog plays, yay! I also noticed a lack of targeting in most cards. They also have a cookie-cutter Counter Trap; not really a fan of these, personally. At least it has a cost nor doesn't end as a +0 unlike the tellar and Zefra Counters, except when Tributing Cadet or Jetptera). I have not read them thoroughly yet so I may drop more comments when/if I do it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not read them thoroughly yet so I may drop more comments when/if I do it later. Regarding why they are dragons, it's a joke, in a way. In many eastern cultures, word to denote dinosaur and dragons are almost similar, and even exactly the same at times. It's a play of the trope Dinosaurs are Dragons too, and most of all, it's a reference to CFV (which is the source for the images), where every dinosaurs ARE dragons. The lack of targeting is once again, a mistake in my part. The cookie cutter Counter trap used to only negate monsters (and had a different name), but draws 1 card in exchange. Might change it back to it if this is too much. EDIT: I've edited the cards so they target now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love of Ghibli Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 As a player of Vanguard I guess I got the joke quite quickly. On the downside, aesthetically a grade 2 being stronger than both Tachikaze bosses just ticks a nerve. But the set looks nice and spammy as a whole in that same Hunder aspect of spam. My only true concern is that Brachioship goes from plussing on the summon which would most likely lead to two other Extra Normal Summons that make everything rather spammy. Especially when combined with Shocktrooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hmm, true. I should probably make it so that you're not allowed to summon at all for the rest of the turn after Carrier summons its stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Anyway, can I ask someone's help to test them? Still unsure whether they're balanced yet or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BtanH Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 So "destroy up to 2 Spell or Trap cards your opponent controls, and if the tributed monster is an “Assault Dragon” monster, the destroyed cards can’t be chained to this effect." Is a really frustrating effect to play again, if you recall the warmasters. Especially when it's already 2 cards being destroyed.The field spell gives them the Ancient Gear gimmick, but better, and free stats. Seems really strong.Mobile Fortress Feels like it does too many things. And the burn damage feels really tacked on.Haven't tested it at all though.

Is a really frustrating effect to play again, if you recall the warmasters. Especially when it's already 2 cards being destroyed. I was trying to make it a Mobius but weaker due to it needing a specific tribute. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, probably I should just have either it destroy 1 and can't be chained or destroy 2 but can be chained. The field spell gives them the Ancient Gear gimmick, but better, and free stats. Seems really strong. The BP wide AG clause is the main dish, but if it's too strong, I'll just have the stat gain removed. +500 is quite potent, after all. Mobile Fortress Feels like it does too many things. And the burn damage feels really tacked on. Well, it's intended to be a pseudo monster. The burn might be too big, but it's not really tacked on, since it's in a way signifying that the fortress was attacking. Extra normal summon because it's a mobile fortress after all, so you can mobilize your troop to the battlefield easier. Haven't tested it at all though. Once test results are in, I'll start making the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
