Warrior Toolbox

Warrior Toolbox refers to searching out a Warrior "tool" to counter almost any move your opponent may put into play. Here is a list referring to which Warriors are good for what situation.

D.D. Assailant
Most often used late-game, to assist in finishing off an opponent with his 1700 ATK, he can also be used, in a pinch, to remove a strong monster from the field.

D.D. Survivor
He serves the same late-game purpose as D.D. Assailant, but is also excpetionally useful at being an exclusive counter to a D.D. Warrior Lady.

D.D. Warrior Lady
Serves the same removal purpose as D.D. Assailant, but is also searchable by Sangan, and Last Will.

Don Zaloog
Don Zaloog is one of the best monsters to search out with Last Will, if an open-field has been cleared, as an alternative to searching out Spirit Reaper.

Exiled Force
Exiled Force is the exception to just about every lockdown in the game. He's useful for taking out a strong and/or stubbonr monster, or removing a face-down Defense Position monster from the field, when you already have Field Advantage. Also a very strong when combined with the effect of Last Will.

Gearfried the Iron Knight
When Snatch Steal was still Limited, he was a good late-game Beatstick, but as of late, his ability to destroy anything he's equipped with, is too limiting for most to consider playing him.

Marauding Captain
A good form of Swarm, but his 1200 ATK points have largely been put to shame with Cyber Dragon's 2100 ATK, which when combined with Warriors, constitues the same basic Swarming ability.

Mystic Swordsman LV2
The Mystic Swordsman Series are truly a staple amongst Warrior Decks in general, it's powerful ability being able to remove face-down Defense Position monsters from the field, without flipping them face-up. It can take out many monsters that would otherwise constitute a problem, such as Magician of Faith, Old Vindictve Magician, Apprentice Magician, and any cards like Morphing Jar that has a Flip Effect.

Mystic Swordsman LV4
More powerful than Mystic Swordsman LV2, he's best placed face-down, or Special Summoned from the Graveyard.

Silent Swordsman LV3
The Silent Swordsman Series are good early-game cards, LV3 especially if he can survive for longer than a turn.

Silent Swordsman LV5
Silent Swordsman LV5's ability to be unaffected by Spell Cards ranks as high as Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6, but the ability of Silent Swordsman LV7, is not as good as Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8.
