Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

*[[Action Girl]]: As per series tradition, many of the female monsters fall into this category. Some examples:

**Most members of Romin's [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Psychic_Musician Psychic Musician] series.

**In relation to the above, most Psychic-Type monsters also count, ~~in particular~~ those who are part of the "secret agent" storyline such as [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Agent_Telepath Agent Telepath], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Silent_Assassin Silent Assassin] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Handy_Lady Handy Lady].

**In relation to the above, most Psychic-Type monsters also count, especially those who are part of the "secret agent" storyline such as [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Agent_Telepath Agent Telepath], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Silent_Assassin Silent Assassin] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Handy_Lady Handy Lady].

**All the non-mech members of the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Music_Maiden Music Maiden] series also count.

**About half of the members of the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Flower_Fang Flower Fang] series.

*[[Actionized Sequel]]: The game design encourages the player to Summon monsters en-masse and generally play more aggressively, in contrast to the complex aggro-, combo- and control/negation-based gameplay of the OCG.

*[[Always a Bigger Fish]]: The artwork of [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Killer_Bite_Ball Killer Bite Ball] shows local Sea Monster [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Warfish_Sharkmegalon Warfish Sharkmegalon] attempting to devour a school of fish, not realizing that a bigger school of fish is attempting to do the same to the giant shark. The artwork of [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Grand_Extreme Grand Extreme] further expands on this, showing that the school of fish that attempted to chomp on Sharkmegalon is also on the receiving end of this trope from none other than the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sea_Dragon_King_Granganoth Sea Dragon King] itself.

*[[All Your Powers Combined]]:

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sevens_Road_Magician Sevens Road Magician] can gain ATK for each monster with different Attribute in your Graveyard. Naturally, the more varied monsters you have in your Graveyard, the more powerful Sevens Road Magician can become.

**On their own, Maximum Monster pieces are basically Normal Monsters, since their effects require them to be in Maximum Mode. However, once Maximum Summoned, they enter Maximum Mode, and as one big monster, gain all 3 of their effects at once.

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dayu_Ahez_the_Mirror_King_of_Chairs Dayu Ahez the Mirror King of Chairs] has a natural 0 ATK, but her effect lets you shuffle any amount of monsters with 0 ATK from your GY into the Deck to increase her ATK by 300 for each, until the end of the turn. Since there's no limit on how many monsters you can shuffle to buff her up, the amount of ATK gain can get into absurd heights with the proper setup.

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Antbellion_of_the_Rebellion Antbellion of the Rebellion] can increase the ATK of all Insects with 100 or less ATK (including itself) by 800 for each monster you control. Due to the limited space for monsters, the maximum ATK it can reach through its effect alone is set at 2500, the "cap" for all Level 7 to 8 monsters in Rush Duel.

*[[Anti-Frustration Features]]:

**The card layout placed the ATK/DEF values in a better spot, which got rid of the problem in the OCG where the values might get pinched by the player's thumbs in hand.

Line 53:

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Libanty_Flag Libanty Flag] allows you to Special Summon an Insect with 100 or less ATK from your hand or Graveyard when your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster.

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Super_King_Rex Super King Rex] can revive a Level 6 or lower Dinosaur Normal Monster from your GY during the turn it was Normal or Special Summoned.

*[[Badass Normal]]:

**Almost all Types have their own Level 4 Normal Monsters with 1500 ATK and 200 or less DEF. Examples include [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Masaki_the_Legendary_Samurai_General Masaki the Legendary Samurai General], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Hero_of_the_Yeast Hero of the Yeast], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Connector_Dog Connector Dog] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Saikyo_Flag_Beast_Avan_Wolf Saikyo Flag Beast Avan Wolf].

**The "Duel Monsters trio" [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dark_Magician_(Rush_Duel) Dark Magician], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Blue-Eyes_White_Dragon_(Rush_Duel) Blue-Eyes White Dragon] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Red-Eyes_Black_Dragon_(Rush_Duel) Red-Eyes Black Dragon] all appear as Legend cards with their own sets of personalized support cards.

*[[Beast of Battle]]: Beast monsters. Examples include [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Gazelle_the_King_of_Mythical_Beasts_(Rush_Duel) Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Whirlwind_Phantom_Beast_Pazuzu Whirlwind Phantom Beast Pazuzu] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Seis_the_Mighty_King_of_Bestial_Wings Seis the Mighty King of Bestial Wings].

*[[Black Magician Girl]]:

**Good ol' [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dark_Magician_Girl_(Rush_Duel) Dark Magician Girl] makes a return, with her effect buffed due to [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dark_Magician_(Rush_Duel) Dark Magician] being a Legend card, and thus harder to gain access to.

Line 63:

*[[Blow You Away]]: WIND monsters. Examples include [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sylphydra Sylphydra], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Windcaster_Torna Windcaster Torna], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Arzareth_the_Sweeping_Wind Arzareth the Sweeping Wind] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Air_Formula_Eagle Air Formula Eagle].

*[[Cast from Hit Points]]: As per usual, some effects require payment in the form of LP to use.

*[[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]:

**Classic Insect beater [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Flying_Kamakiri_2_(Rush_Duel) Flying Kamakiri #2] enters the Rush Duel environment with a buzz, and its artwork still showcases how big it is.

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Metal_Armored_Ant Metal Armored Ant] is ''freakishly huge''. Thankfully unlike [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Metal_Armored_Bug its OCG counterpart], it seems less aggressive and prefer to stay on the defensive... as long as you behave in its forest home.

*[[Casting a Shadow]]: DARK monsters. Examples include [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dark_Sorcerer Dark Sorcerer], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Silent_Assassin Silent Assassin], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sevens_Road_Magician Sevens Road Magician] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Phantom_Dove_Knight_Vision Phantom Dove Knight Vision].

Line 72:

**The Accel duo [https://yugipedia/com/wiki/Accel_Wonder_Supra Wonder Supra] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Accel_Wonder_Flare Wonder Flare] look almost identical, with their main difference being their individual color schemes.

*[[Combining Mecha]]: [[Humongous Mecha|Super Magitek Deity Magnum Over Road]] actually comprises of 3 smaller mechs that combine into 1 when Maximum Summoned.

*[[Cute Witch]]:

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sparkhearts_Girl Sparkhearts Girl] fits the stereotypical description of the trope.

**Despite the name and first impression, [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Whispering_Fairy Whispering Fairy] is actually a Spellcaster.

*[[Cyberspace]]: Cyberse monsters.

**Most prominently the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Tron_(series) Tron] series, which evolves through [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Picock_Hightron Picock Hightron], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Femtron Femtron], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Attron Attron], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Zeptron Zeptron] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Yoctron Yoctron] (in that order) to reach singularity and grow in [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Yggdrago_the_Heavenly_Emperor_Dragon_Tree Yggdrago the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Tree].

**The ''Explosive Supremacy'' manga also introduced [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Berceptacle_Mani Berceptacle Mani] as an alternative boss monster for the Type that isn't related to Yggdrago. Neiru's structure deck would later introduce [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sigilstate_Sol Sigilstate Sol], which served as Mani's counterpart. Both of them are based off Norse mythology, with Mani being the personification of the Moon and Sol being the personification of the Sun.

*[[Dinosaurs Are Dragons]]: Generally averted, with Dinosaurs and Dragons being separate Types with distinct general design and niches. The only thing closest to being an example is [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Stock_Buster_the_Terrorstriking_Dragon Stock Buster the Terrorstriking Dragon].

Classic lupine monster [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Silver_Fang_(Rush_Duel) Silver Fang] also makes a return. Whether things become worse with them around depends on whether you're running them or running away from them.

*[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]:

Line 112:

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Bunker_Strike_the_Thrustriking_Dragon Bunker Strike the Thrustriking Dragon] looks positively mechanical, complete with what looks like an electric cable sprouting from its back.

**[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Stock_Buster_the_Terrorstriking_Dragon Stock Buster the Terrorstriking Dragon] looks more like a Dinosaur than a Dragon.

**Beast-Warrior monsters. Examples include [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Savage_Claw_Tiger Savage Claw Tiger] and the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Beast_Gear_World_(series) Beast Gear World] series.
