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

Line 15:

*Each player can Normal Summon/Set as many monsters as they possibly can each turn. Level 5 or higher monsters still require their respective amount of Tributes.

*Certain mechanics such as Trigger Effects, Quick Effects, hand-based Ignition Effects, GY-based Ignition Effects and Banishing are absent to simplify the game. Additionally, all activated effects are limited to once per turn per that card's instance (exactly like the OCG's "Once per turn: ..." clause).

*Completely brand new Types of monsters, the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Cyborg Cyborg], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Knight Magical Knight] ~~and~~ [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/High_Dragon High Dragon] are added for Rush Duel. So far, all these Types are exclusive to certain Fusion Monsters, and are specifically shown to be the results of the [[Fusion Dance]] that ensued.

*Completely brand new Types of monsters, the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Cyborg Cyborg], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Knight Magical Knight], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/High_Dragon High Dragon], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Omega_Psychic Omega Psychic] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Celestial_Warrior Celestial Warrior] are added for Rush Duel. So far, all these Types are exclusive to certain Fusion Monsters, and are specifically shown to be the results of the [[Fusion Dance]] that ensued in their creation.

*A completely brand new type of monster, the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Maximum_Monster Maximum Monster], is added exclusively for Rush Duel. Maximum Monsters come in sets of 3 separate monsters, each of them are able to function as standalone monsters when needed; however, if a player managed to complete a set in their hand, they can Maximum Summon all 3 as a single powerful monster, in which case it enters Maximum Mode. In Maximum Mode, Maximum Monsters don't possess DEF (and thus can't become Defense Position) and use the MAXIMUM ATK printed on the central monster instead of their normal ATK value.

*So far, the only returning Extra Deck Special Summon mechanic is Fusion, and it was handled differently from its OCG counterpart. To differentiate it from OCG's "Yuugou", the mechanic is called "Fusion" with [[Gratuitous English]], with their main Fusion Summoning Spell being [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fusion_(Rush_Duel) Fusion] instead of [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Polymerization Polymerization].

Line 39:

**[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~~.

**The card layout placed the ATK/DEF values in a better spot and printed them with a bigger font, which helped a lot with visibility.

**The card layout also revamped the Level value to ~~instead~~ ~~display~~ in one readable number instead of a set of Stars to make it easier to read.

**The card layout also revamped the Level value to be displayed in one readable number instead of a set of Stars to make it much easier to read.

**An effect's requirement/cost and execution are properly separated, and "this card's requirement" and "this card's effect" are now classified as actual term in effect wording to make deciphering effects much easier.

*[[Anti-Magic]]:

Line 80:

**[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.

**The two above monsters can then fuse into [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Whispark_Fairy_Girl Whispark Fairy Girl], which mostly takes its appearance from the former.

*[[Cyborg]]: The [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Cyborg Cyborg-Type], most notably the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Metallion Metallion] monsters, which are Fusions that resulted when [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Imaginary_Actor Imaginary Actor] fuses with certain monsters.

*[[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].

**The [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sushi_Angel Sushi Angel] series is exactly that.

**The Spell Card [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fusion_(Rush_Duel) Fusion] lets you Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster by sending its face-up Fusion materials from your side of the field to the GY.

*[[Fusion Dance]]: [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fusion_Monster#In_Rush_Duel Fusion Monsters] make a return in Rush Duel, and so far is the only Extra Deck monster. Unlike the OCG which uses [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Polymerization Polymerization] as their primary Fusion Summoning card, Rush Duel uses [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fusion_(Rush_Duel) Fusion] instead. Additionally, certain Fusion Monsters are special, as they possess new Types that seem to result from the Fusion of their material's respective Types, and a special kind of effect called the Multi-Choice Effect, which lets the user choose between 2 different executions of the same effect.

**[[Humans Are Warriors|Warrior]] + [[Our Angels Are Different|Fairy]] = [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|Celestial Warrior]]

*[[Geo Effects]]: Field Spells as usual, and even more now that they are currently the only source of continuous buffs, and the simplified design removes Ignition effects from them.

*[[Green Thumb]]: Plant monsters. Examples include [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Baked_Bean_Soldier Baked Bean Soldier], [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Flower_Fang_Warrior_Rindo Flower Fang Warrior Rindo] and [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Grass Grass].

Line 129:

**Traps in general are designed to be less flexible and more reactive. So far, all Traps in Rush Duel have some kind of requirements and/or cost, with Traps that "always live" being absent.

**The primary Fusion Summoning card for Rush Duel, [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fusion_(Rush_Duel) Fusion], requires all materials to be face-up on the field. This usually won't be a problem, unless your Monster Zone is full with non-materials or a Fusion Monster asks for a Level 5 or higher monster.

**Played with the [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dark_Magician_Girl_(Rush_Duel) Dark Magician Girl]. On one hand, "Dark Magician" being Legend and "Magician of Black Chaos" being unmentioned in her text (which would imply him being Adapted Out) mean that she would find it harder to get her ATK boost going. On the other hand, the ATK boost itself is buffed to give her 500 ATK instead of 300 (making her effect more similar to her original manga counterpart) which combined with Rush Duel's lower power ceiling, would make a more potent beatstick even with just 1 "Dark Magician" in the GY.

*[[Nigh Invulnerability]]:

**Certain cards like [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ancient_Barrier Ancient Barrier] grant your monsters immunity to destruction from your opponent's Traps.
