Card Tips:Super Polymerization

Traditional Format

 * This card can be searched via "Dark Sage", "Ancient Gear Drill", "Alchemic Magician", "Synchro Fusionist", "Sabatiel - The Philosopher's Stone" and "Quick Booster".


 * If your opponent controls a "Hex-Sealed Fusion" monster, use this card with one of your Fusion Material Monsters to pre-empt their attempt to Special Summon and get your Fusion Monster.


 * You can also use it very effectively if your opponent has taken control of one of your Fusion Material Monsters with cards such as "Mark of the Rose", "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon", etc.


 * This card works well with "DNA Surgery", allowing you to clear your opponent's field and Special Summon monsters like "Five-Headed Dragon" and "Chimeratech Overdragon".


 * This card is best used in "Elemental HERO" Decks for Omni-HEROes and "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste".
 * This card can stop "Shooting Quasar Dragon" since it can't negate the activation of "Super Polymerization". Fusing "Shooting Quasar Dragon" will result in "Elemental HERO The Shining" (as a bonus, the effect of "Shooting Quasar Dragon" of Special Summoning "Shooting Star Dragon" will miss the timing, as "Shooting Quasar Dragon" leaving the field was not the last thing that happened).
 * This can similarly be used to stop "Light and Darkness Dragon", "Herald of Perfection" and "Lightsworn" monsters, to Fusion Summon for "Elemental HERO The Shining".
 * This can also be used to stop "Naturia Beast" and "Naturia Exterio" by using them to Fusion Summon "Elemental HERO Gaia".
 * With the release of "Elemental HERO Escuridao", you can now use your opponent's "Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En" and "Red Nova Dragon" for this card as well. This card can also be used to bypass "Infernity Barrier" and "Imperial Tombs of Necrovalley" against "Infernity" and "Gravekeeper's" Decks respectively, since this card cannot be chained to
 * Use "DNA Transplant" in order to Summon any of the "Elemental HERO" Fusion Monsters listed above.


 * Ironically, this card can also used to counter "Elemental HERO" Decks, especially if you run a single-Attribute decks such as "Gishki", "Gem-Knight", "Laval" or "Gusto", where they can Summon "Elemental HERO Absolute Zero", "Elemental HERO Gaia", "Elemental HERO Nova Master" and "Elemental HERO Great Tornado", respectively. By running the "Vision HERO" monsters, you can easily fuse away two or three of the opponent's Heroes.
 * It's a nice counter especially against "Elemental HERO The Shining", since "Super Polymerization" cannot be chained and because "The Shining" is being used as a Fusion Material Monster, its effect cannot be activated due to "missing the timing" rule.


 * With the release of Fusion Monsters that are a combination of Synchro Monsters and other material monsters, you can use this card to take advantage of your opponent's monsters after they have been Synchro Summoned.
 * You can use your opponent's Warrior-type Monsters or Dragon-type Synchro Monsters to fuse for "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste".
 * You can use your opponent's "T.G. Hyper Librarian" and "T.G. Wonder Magician" before they can Synchro summon and have a "Supreme Arcanite Magician" on your side of the field.
 * Since "Fabled" monsters are capable of rapidly Summoning Synchro Monsters and have their effects activated when discarded, this card can be very powerful in a "Fabled" Deck. "Fabled" monsters have their effects activated in a separate chain so they will resolve normally.


 * This card can completely devastate "Horus" Decks since its trump card, "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", cannot negate "Super Polymerization" and it can easily be stolen for the Fusion Summon of "Five-Headed Dragon" or "Elemental HERO Nova Master".


 * Using this card together with "Chain Material", you'll be able to tag out a "Five-Headed Dragon" or "Chimeratech Overdragon" very easy.


 * One tactic you may like to use with this card is to activate this card as Chain Link 2 when you foresee your opponent adding another card to the chain which would combo well with Chain Link 1. The effect of "Super Polymerization" will then prevent them from using the second card for their combo.
 * You can also stop the accumulation of Chain Links to prevent Chain Link Cards, such as "Chain Detonation", from being used.


 * This card's discard use can actually be put to good use when Summoning cards like "Cyberdark Dragon", you can discard a card like "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Tyrant Dragon" to power up "Cyberdark Dragon".


 * Since this card is a Quick-Play Spell Card, you can use it during your Battle Phase to get an extra hit, or to save your monsters from cards like "Sakuretsu Armor" or "Dimensional Prison".
 * This combo is specially useful with "Multiple Piece Golem": Since you had "Big Piece Golem" and "Medium Piece Golem", is more than likely that you have "Small Piece Golem" too. Using "Super Polymerization" on this situation will allow you to get 4 attacks instead of 3. Also, at the end of your Battle Phase, you can return "Multiple Piece" to your Extra Deck, allowing you to Special Summon "Big Piece", "Medium Piece", and due to the effect of the latter, maybe even another "Small Piece".


 * Similar to the above idea, use this card right after your Fusion Material Monsters have all attacked, attack with your newly Summoned Fusion Monster, then use "De-Fusion" to get back your material monsters for a new set of attacks.
 * If the above combo is utilized correctly with 5 Dragon-Type monsters for "Five-Headed Dragon" (preferably with your "Stardust Dragon" or "Stardust Spark Dragon" along with "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" and any other Dragons with 2800 or more ATK), you could gain a possibility of eleven attacks. Be sure to possibly have "Royal Decree" activated to negate Traps such as "Non-Fusion Area" or "Gravity Bind".


 * Activate "Ojama Trio" and use the opponent's "Ojama Tokens" to Special Summon "Ojama Knight". Alternately, Special Summon two copies of "Ojamagic" with "Magical Hats", and then use them to Special Summon "Ojama Knight".


 * Use with "Mystic Box" or "Creature Swap" by giving 1 Fusion Material Monster you control to your opponent. Then use "Super Polymerization", since you can use your opponent's monsters as Fusion Material Monsters.


 * If a monster you need is in your opponent's Graveyard, you can draw it out with cards like "Foolish Revival".


 * A great combo is combining this card with "Urgent Tuning" and "De-Fusion" (only use "Urgent Tuning" for a Synchro-Fusion Summon and "De-Fusion" when Fusion Materials needed are in your Graveyard).


 * There is a way to dodge this card when playing against "HERO" Decks: activate "DNA Transplant" and change the Attribute to DIVINE.


 * If you have 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" banished, activate "Return from the Different Dimension" to Special Summon them back, and any other banished monsters if possible. Attack with the 3 "Blue-Eyes", then activate "Super Polymerization" to Special Summon "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" and attack with it.
 * If you have "De-Fusion", use it to return "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" to the Extra Deck, and Special Summon the 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" from the Graveyard and attack for a possible KO.


 * Use this in "Shaddoll" Decks against DARK or LIGHT Decks to Fusion Summon "El Shaddoll Winda" or "El Shaddoll Construct".


 * If your opponent uses "Rescue Rabbit" you can use "Super Polymerization" to Summon "First of the Dragons" using the monster your opponent just Summoned, stopping them from then using those monsters to Xyz Summon.
 * During a Mirror Match. use this card to keep your resources.
