At least with D-Fusion you can summon Escuraido as well as Aster's Manga fusions (oh and Destiny End Dragoon, forgot about that). In general we expected that it'd fusion summon using Destiny HEROs as materials.

Drillguy getting a buff is neat as well.

[The Highlander]

Fusion is meh, considering it is a slow poly and the protection is hardly relevant, except to use the fusion as a wall.

Dystopia is cute, however until they can reliably alter his atk he simply has potential.

Drillguy's only redeming factor is that he can summon decisionguy.

Decisionguy ... amazing, helps gathering resources, while protecting against high level attacks (better than nothing I guess) and can recycle itself by reducing dynamite's burn.

Dynamiteguy ... looks alright, mostly because it triggers dystopia and recycles decisonguy.

Hardly amazing support.

[~British Soul~]

Note; there's still Dark Angel to come, we don't know what it does yet.

[The Nyx Avatar]

Destiny HERO Dystopia(guy):

 

Meh.

 

Neither effect will really have a long-lasting impact. And speaking of long-lasting, this card clearly isn't, as your opponent will remove it in a turn.

 

D – Fusion:

 

Still sluggish, but at least I can Summon Destiny End Dragoon.

 

Destiny HERO – Drillguy:

Alright; now that's better. An easy form to bring out Destiny HEROes (even Malicious, if you run dry). The piercing effect is still pointless, though.

 

Destiny HERO – Decisionguy

Effect 1: Slow

 

Effect 2: Pointless.

 

Effect: Almost never used.

 

Destiny HERO – Dyanmiteguy

 

Effect 1: Mediocre; you're just trading off damage.

 

Effect 2: Wow. This looks like an effect I gave my own Destiny HERO card on the card maker. Regardless, I like it; it boosts the ATK so they're not as easy to run over.

 

While thse effects are better than the anime cards, this is FAR from what they need.

 

An utter disappointment.

[Tinkerer]

(Ah, I assume we're seeing a few guys from next week's episode)

 

Aww... If only Drillguy summoned HEROs generally rather than D-HEROs.

 

Fusion is pretty awful. It's slow and it needs field mats. Its saving grace is probably the fact that there's no restriction using it during the battle phase to push for heavy damage.

 

Decisionguy is nice. Adding during the End Phase may be slow, but it's basically insurance for any plays you make. Its recycle effect isn't even a hard OPT, so if you summon 2 of these, you can get 2 HEROs from the Grave (including themselves if you Xyz with 'em). It's effect damage prevention effect is also really neat. DecisionClown anyone?

 

Heh, Dark Angel can Special itself to the opponent's field. It's third effect is the most intriguing. It's the closest thing to a direct spell searcher we have, right? It also makes Diamondude instantly live.

 

Out of all these, I'm liking Decisionguy the most. It's an instant fit into my Ties of the Brethren dark HERO deck.

[Thomas★Zero]

Shame Dystopiaguys effect on summon doesn't allow you to blast an opponents monster for 3400 damage if you use dogma as a Fusion Material but being able to target any Level 4 or lower in grave for burn is a nice trade off from it being just its Fusion Materials.

 

Drillguy being able to set up Rank 4's is hilarious.

 

Decisionguy is interesting since it can recycle HERO's and also return to your hand if your about to be hit by effect damage. Plus not being an attack target for Level 5 or higher monsters is nice.

 

Dyanmiteguy allows you to block battle damage for a 1000 burn on both players and can be banished from grave to give a 1000 ATK boost is nice.

 

Dark Angel is odd as it reviews a D-HERO to your opponents side and allows both players to set up their next draw with a spell card. In addition it can also negate your Spell Cards which isn't helpful.

 

D-Fusion appears to be a slow polymerization with a trade of protection to destruction that turn which seems okay your better playing polymerization over this.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Anyone else feel a bit cheated? I love heroes and all. And now we can recycle the limited Stratos/ShadowMist, but...the VJump barely had anything. The list was the 3rd most lazy one we've seen. Ugh is all I can say

[Expelsword]

Very disappointing.

Can't burn for 3400, and the trap Fusion requires monsters you control, which means you're never summoning Dragoon with it.

I guess you can make Starve Venom...

Drill is pretty trash.

Decision is decently good

Dynamite is, I guess supposed to be used with Dystopia, but being Level 5 hurts it a lot.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Mask change for Dank Law fall backs I guess. It would be very nice if we could get a Hero build that uses Synchros, Fusions, and XYZ'a finally

[Fluffyfish]

Dark angel is interesting, I'm pretty sure its meant to be used as ">Effect 3, both player's top deck a spell > Special summon to opp's field > opp can't use the spell, while you can", or just summon it to hate on Pendulums I guess. I'm just worried that it requires some setup to do (3 D-heroes on grave, and the first play I said would require 1 on hand and another on grave). Just felt the need to point it out because some people may not have get it.

 

Anyway, about the other cards... DystopiaGuy sounds quite decent if you can consistently change its stats (specially because no OTP there). I need to see more of their fusions to be sure how much you will want to summon it (it doesn't seem that good to be the main monster, the burn is ok, maybe good if you can summon it a couple times easily).

I'm not sure if we are expected to rely on the Fusion trap, may be worth running 1-2 (specially because of its SS2 nature), but you are going to use some poly as well because its not very reliable (need to have 2 on field, kinda dead without Drillguy). Good thing you aren't limited to D-Hero fusions, so you can go for some SS2 Starve Venom.

About the monsters, drillguy and decisionguy are kinda decent, but... they feel like they would do better as a R4 engine? That's just how I feel tho. Dinamiteguy sounds hilarious to use to finish a game (opp has 1000 or less LP and attacks you... "laughs and starts speaking on engrish"), it doesn't give any sort of advantage but sounds worth being used as Fusion Material for Dystopiaguy (+1000 ATK, use Dystopiaguy's effect when you want to disrupt a play or if it would die).

 

I wished to say they are good, but not really, we will need to see more to judge properly tho.

Their best combo right now seems to be "NS Decision > Poly with Dinamite > At End Phase, grab Dinamite > In any battle, use Dinamite > Trigger and add Decision from Grave". You can try to recycle Dinamite and keep doing that for a while to not spend as much resources, although its a bit slow.

[~British Soul~]

Huh, they more-or-less completely changed Dark Angel, not surprised though. Its first eff is odd, and its third can help with Diamond Dude (which coincidently is in Destiny Soldiers too)

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Can Dark Angel negate Super Poly? Like Unicorn?

[BlackBeartic]

What is up with Dark Angel's 2nd effect.

Like why does it have that.

Use 1st to revive it to opps side

[Blake]

oooh now i get dark angel

 

you discard it, target itself, then stick it to their board

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

oooh now i get dark angel

Yep. That's how it worked in the anime, but they modified it so it could weirdly get ANY D-HERO to the opponent's board.

Jokes on the D-Hero player. Both Blue-Eyes and D/D/D run r1nk

 

funk yo spell negation

No; I knew this new support (if you can even call it that) was going to suck.

[Toffee.]

Nobody will play Dystopia.

D-Fusion honestly isn't worth it.

Drill guy is "something", but still really noncontributing.

Decision is too slow to really do anything.

Dynamite's 2nd effect is cute, but the rest of it is just awkward.

Dark Angel feels like it's trying too hard. It's 3rd effect could be something.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

No; I knew this new support (if you can even call it that) was going to suck.

But did you know the Limit Regulation would be poor and that we really wouldn't get a lot of Information too?

EDIT: Unconfirmed Dark Angel effect:

Destiny HERO – Dark Angel

Level 1 DARK Warrior-Type Effect Monster

ATK 0

DEF 0

(1) If there are (3?) or more Destiny HERO monsters in your Graveyard: You can discard this card, then target 1 “Destiny HERO” monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster to your opponent’s side of the field.

(2) If you activate a Spell Card, negate its effects and destroy it.

(3) During your Standby Phase: You can banish this card and 1 “Destiny HERO" monster from your Graveyard; Both players choose 1 Spell Card from their Decks and place them on top of their Decks.

Jumped the gun again. Anywho:

 

Effect 1: If you're opponent's ATK is too high, you can give them a lower one to attack? That's really the only use, and not really worth the effort.

 

Effect 2: Absolutely NOTHING useful.

 

Effect 3: Too slow to leave any impact.

Nyx.

Look at the timing for Dark Angel's effect.

You use its first effect to put it on the opponent's field, where it negates their Spells.

I guess. But can't you just Tribute it or use it as a Synchro Material?

 

But I will admit it's better than Dark Angel's original effect.

Possibly. It also can be set up as a nice, juicy attack target.

It has some potential.

In fact, that's pretty much this entire batch of cards. Individually, they have some potential if more cards come out that can use them.

But the problem is that none of the other cards really help in that regard.
