When this card destroys a monster as a result of battle: inflict damage to your opponent equal to the half of the destroyed monster original ATK.

evilfusion Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Okay, I only came here because I saw it on the recent topics list and cringed at the name. Crimson Red Dragon Archfiend is redundant. Crimson is a shade of red. Why not just call it "Crimson Dragon Archfiend", especially if you're already treating it as a Red Dragon Archfiend while on Field and Graveyard? That said, the actual card is...actually pretty good. Being limited to Resonator Tuners means it's not generic other than in focused Resonator Decks, but it also does too much. It being immune to monster effects is pretty cool, and the +1000 when it battles a stronger monster is also a pretty nice touch. But then you also gave it a Flame Wingman effect. At this point, you're giving it too much power for a Level 8 Synchro, even if it needs Resonators. It just outclasses the other Red Dragon Archfiend monsters, and is actually better than the manga upgrades because it's so much easier to use than they are.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well, it's immune to Castel and a bunch of other common monster threats nowadays, so it helps a bit with protection (especially since Castel is pretty much in every Deck that can afford to run him). It also has a Skyscraper-esque effect (I'll mention it here since you are a HERO user, so this should be familiar), although 3K ATK is generally enough to break things anyway without needing the boost. As for the burn damage, it's rather much considering Crimson RDA is already at boss level power for destroying stuff.Wingman had 2100 ATK and needed Skyscraper to screw things. ----Granted, it is a strict 2-mat Synchro for Resonators, but nothing is stopping you from making some Level 5-6 with this; then going into it.Well, you can summon this in a similar manner to how Scarlight was summoned in episode 64 (Wyvern + Red Resonator or whatever). I'd probably change it to deal half damage; as it stands, Skyscraper + Flame Wingman burn is an awful lot, especially since it can kill Pendulums too.Flavor-wise, it does fit into Jack's playing style (and it certainly wouldn't be out of place for him to use this), but yeah coupled with monster immunity and a lot of other stuff, it's overbearing. As evilfusion noted already, Crimson Red is redundant in terms of naming. It does help going into Red Nova and any of RDA's alternative evolutions, but yes it does outclass its counterparts by a good margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas★Zero Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I made modifications to card such as making it now Crimson Dragon Archfiend and also making it so the burn is half of the destroyed monsters original ATK. Still thanks for the post's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
