If Raid Raptors would actually go for rank 3s, then this might have a value, however for now it is practically worthless.

 

Well, it does something beyond a negligible power boost, but not enough to make up for Devil Eagle's nerf.

True Devil Eagle is about as desirable as gagagigo the risen.

There's Leviair, I guess. At least then he can get you back spent Mimicries while also letting you use banish the detached skull to get a Vanishing Lanius. The issue is getting two of these sods out with the most minimal effort.

My money is on Raidraptor - Call being in 906, since it would be an amazing push for the deck.

 

EDIT: the (1) text says "hatsudou dekiru" so it's optional.

This is pretty much the entire problem. Though we may et another R3 sometime that's better.

We don't need better Rank 3s.

We need more Level 3s.

There is barely any synergy between Skull Eagle and the rest of the archetype because every other Raidraptor is Level 4, and the only Raidraptor that can change Levels is Mimicry.

Even if we get more LV3s, unless they can make something RNK3 that's worth making they're worth nothing. We need both.

 

Maybe Wild Vulture will help.

But hey, guys! Don't feel down!

With Skull Eagle's help, Devil Eagle can get two boosts to have a whopping 1600 ATK!

That's as much as a Man-Eating Treasure Chest!

Which wouldn't be so bad if Devil Eagle wasn't the ONLY RR Xyz to have just 1 effect, and also the only one to get such a brutal nerf (Blaze Falcon got a slight nerf but it's nothing compared to Devil).

 

It seems increasingly like there's no rhyme or reason to what Konami nerfs, what they buff, what just gets tweaked, and what gets entirely changed.
