[CP19] Battlewasp – Ballista the Armageddon

[Dokutah]

Shinji’s biggest Synchro has been remade into something a little more worthy of its big bee size.

The cost of the first effect is a bit harsh imo, as it banishes all of your Insects in your GY...

 

The third effect...there are too many ways to get rid of it outside of destruction...

 

I'll rather Summon the Level 8 big bee instead of this...

Well this does give us a generic Level 12 Synchro Monster with piercing still its effect to reduce ATK/DEF by banishing your Battlewasp is nice though the other effect can easily be counter by banishing, bouncing or negating the effect when it triggers.
