Chapter 1242: Strategies For 5DS!
As we all know, the decks of the 5DS protagonists were all Synchro-focused. Without Synchro, their combat effectiveness was mostly wasted. This is why, in the middle and late stages of the animation, they seemed very powerless when facing the "Meklord Emperor" known as the Synchro Killer, and they deliberately spent a lot of time trying to find strategies.
However, the main scary thing about the Meklord Emperor was that it could absorb the opponent's Synchro Monsters as equipment every turn. However, this effect could not prevent you from performing Synchro Summoning, nor could it be activated during the opponent's turn.
So the effect that made the protagonists feel extremely difficult in this animation was actually just so-so in the eyes of many card players.
After all, the Meklord Emperor itself had low resistance, its basic attack power was only 2500, and it had no interference effect that could interrupt your Synchro Summoning.
In this case, you just need to swarm to create an invincible field in one turn, and then kill it in one second, right?
So although it was called Synchro Killer, its restriction on synchro summons was not as strong as the "Discord" that Noragami showed.
This card almost destroyed half of Jack's deck's combat power. This trap made Jack feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a catty of nails.
But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
Starting with this "Discord", the screwballs were more and more excessive, and they took out more and more unknown-meaning cards.
