Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Let's assume that they find a way to literally do the "Link necklace" or some other reason (i.e. can treat themselves as 2 monsters or something). I'm thinking it'll be the necklace thing. Recall that this is the only thing we got from Crawlers, so nothing about how quickly they can actually Link Summon (presumably quickly) or if they can repeatedly ladder. I can't really say much about them right now because of that fact, but it's going to be an apparently 2300 on summon, which is kinda cool (2K still works). BP locking is dirty enough and 6 basically means "strike for game". That is, if they have the summon speed to actually do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Given these effects, I imagine Crawlers are probably swarm with power in numbers kind of effects, or they could be completely irrelevant to this card's effect and be completely different I dunno. I guess they said "6 or more" for consistency's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I didn't forget about the Extra Link, but still have to see what the Archetype can do, and how quickly they can do it. (Then again, you just need to have this in EMZ and your whole Main Monster Zone filled up to use everything). But hey, at least Insect decks are actually getting supported. Hopefully they're good, unlike the last Insect deck Konami rolled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inzektors are amazing lol As for this card, it honestly seems pretty awful, purely due to the material requirements. Unless these spam like god damn wind up, this won't do sheet. Insane art though.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Assuming that the new info Zazu posted was correct, there was something about you can't claim them using corner markers). But yeah, it was confirmed quite a while back that it's possible. What? Inzektors are amazing lolAs for this card, it honestly seems pretty awful, purely due to the material requirements.

notcleverusername Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 So wait, it WAS confirmed that you can claim both EMZ now?Where were you for the entire fiasco that was Extra Link What? Inzektors are amazing lol As for this card, it honestly seems pretty awful, purely due to the material requirements. Unless these spam like god damn wind up, this won't do s***. Insane art though.Digital Bugs are admittedly very forgettable :')What's wrong with the material requirements tho? Unless you're referring to the effects, which are hefty but not impossible assuming the deck is designed to be a meta contender. Granted, the deck looks like it's going to be a FLIP deck, which, unless they're given a way to not function as FLIPs like Dolls were, is leading me to expect non-meta.In which case any effect past 2 prob p impractical. Breaking news: Wiki doesn't seem to have the "Special face-down" part that led me to believe it would be FLIP archetype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 People confused at the "or more" and here I am wondering why it's specifying its float effect has to be while the card is face-up. Anyways... Super hyped for another Insect deck. Kinda find it funny how this card's 2+ Crawler effect reflects the archetypal field spells'. Could that possibility mean that Crawlers won't have their own field spell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that possibility mean that Crawlers won't have their own field spell? 1. Right now, Links can't be face-down (and I'm doubting Konami will do something to mess with that mechanic this earlier on, if ever) so yeah, not sure why it specifies face-up when it can't be otherwise. 2. Probably, or the Field Spell does other stuff in lieu of that boost. Then again, Star Grail never used theirs much, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atypical-Abbie Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Insect Archetype eh? Well, at least this one is, Crawler could be for other things. As for the effect, not much so say so far, it does a lot of things and assumes you are able to make a lot of monsters, and it wouldn't surprise me if they use Tokens either, as Insects spawning Tokens would make a lot of sense. Also, the art here is freaking creepy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Highlander Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 This is quite promising, hopefully they include spreaded levels ... like basicly every vrains deckthus far and are actually able to swarm without jumping through hoops (or running out of resources).

Darj Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yeah, card looks really good. A Link2 with 2 markers towards your Main Zones is a really good start for an archetype, and if Crawlers will be as swarmy as this monster's effect requirements imply, they I wouldn't be surprised if they became the new meta, even with True Dracos around, considering this card already shrugs off effect removal with the floating effect.The "6 or more" effect should pretty much be an OTK/win condition, unless the main deck Crawlers have puny ATK values lower than 1000.

It does seem like they are making Link Archetypes to focus on Links only so far though, though I suppose that we did get a few Pendulum Archetypes that used Extra Deck monsters like Metalphosis, so there's hope.

I never stated it would, I merely stated the archtype can, not that it is intended. And you certainly cannot assume mad feast of lv5 is a terrible tech, nor that (considering missus is more or less their go to link) crystal zero lancer is not a solid tech, considering it can get over high ATK monsters and cancel protection. Beyond that Gouki is the only link deck thus far, which can actually summon the lightning, without going too far out of their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokutah Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 kinda iffy about its stat since its it has xenophobic requirement but 2300 body its not that bad.. more-so when you considering this thing basically enabled OTK upon Extra Link. and the float effect is quite good as per speculated to gain advantage through possibly crazy-level-swarming to match up against Stargrail...with the only drawback being having to summon in face down so building Link Laddering is slightly hampered the art though, im getting Qliphort vibe on it. or i should be stopping on trying to tying this lore with earlier Duel Terminal...but i like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
