Card Tips:Dragunity Arma Leyvaten


 * This card works great with "Trade-In" since its level 8 and it can use its effect from the graveyard.


 * You can also send this card easily to the graveyard with cards like "Foolish Burial" or "Future Fusion" so you can use its effect.


 * Pay attention, both the effects of this card (select and equip one dragon from the graveyard, and Special Summon the equipped monster) are under the "Missing the Timing" rule.


 * Choose "Dragunity Phalanx" for an easy "Synchro Summon" of "Trident Dragion".


 * Remember that the choices for this card's effect are not limited to "Dragunity" dragons. This card can pick any dragon monster to equip to it, such as "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", and would special summon it when destroyed by an opposing card effect.
 * With this combo you can easily keep "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" on the field. You can Special Summon it using "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" or when it's summoned, equip it with "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" so that when it's destroyed you can summon out "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" again and use its effect to summon "Laevatein".


 * Another note to this card's versatility with this card and non-"Dragunities" that the monster you remove to Special Summon this card does not have to be a "Dragunity" Winged-Beast, or even a "Dragunity" itself at all. Any monster equipped with a "Dragunity" is applicable, such as a "Cyberdark". Even more so, any monster in the game can be equipped with a "Dragunity" with "Dragon Control Technique" and then removed to Special Summon this card, such as "D.D. Survivor".


 * Use this cards effect to equip itself with "Dragunity Corsesca" so you can search your deck for other Level 4 or lower Dragon type "Dragunity" monsters, like "Dragunity Aklys".


 * You can make a loop with this card and "Light and Darkness Dragon". When you summon this card, equip "Light and Darkness Dragon" to it. Whenever this card is destroyed, your field will be cleared by the effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon". Then, use "Light and Darkness Dragon's" other effect to Special Summon "Laevatein" from your graveyard, re-equip "Light and Darkness Dragon" to it, and repeat. The only weakness in this loop is cards that can remove the two monsters from play, or send them back to the hand or deck. (This loop can be done because equipping a monster is not the same as Special Summoning it.)
 * In the case that "Light and Darkness Dragon" is destroyed first while equipped to this card, you can have it target a second "Laevatein" in your Graveyard and Special Summon it to continue the loop.
 * Use "Advance Draw" when you've started this loop to draw 2 for free, since "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect resolves in the graveyard after you draw the 2 cards, you are not "Missing the Timing" when "Laevatain" is Special Summoned.
 * If "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" is destroyed in battle by a monster with higher ATK, Special Summoning it in defense position each time it is destroyed can prevent further battle damage to your life points.
 * In general, this combo works well with any card that requires you to tribute a monster as a cost, since by tributing "Dragunity Arms Laevatein", "Light and Darkness Dragon" will be destroyed by Game Mechanics and its effect will activate in the graveyard after the resolution of the previous card or chain, allowing you to revive "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" and re-equip "Light and Darkness Dragon"
 * Do NOT tribute "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" for the Tribute Summon of a high-level monster, because the newly-summoned monster will be immediately destroyed by "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect, causing you to waste your Normal Summon for the turn.
 * Examples of cards that work well with this combo include "Advance Draw", "Burst Breath", "Enemy Controller", "Horn of Heaven", "Mind Trust", "Mystik Wok" and "Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi".
 * You can use these cards to purposely trigger "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect for any reason, such as to Special Summon a "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" from your graveyard which can then revive your "Dragunity Arms Laevatein", all while gaining the benefit of the spell or trap card. You can also achieve this by Synchro Summoning "Black Rose Dragon" and activating its effect, which would leave your opponent wide open to 5400 points of direct damage.
 * If you then activate "Mystik Wok" from your hand and tribute "Dragunity Arms Laevatein", "Light and Darkness Dragon" can Special Summon it back to the field. The newly summoned "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" can then attack your opponent for another 2600 damage, bringing the total to 8000 for a possible OTK.
 * You could use "Dark Hole" in place of "Black Rose Dragon". However, your opponent's set Spell & Trap Cards will remain while your own are destroyed by "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect, so take caution if you use this method.
 * Beware of "Effect Veiler", as it can break the loop by preventing "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" from equipping "Light and Darkness Dragon". This can only occur when "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" is summoned during your own Main Phase- take caution when activating the loop during this phase.
 * You can also use these cards to prevent the loop from being broken, either from an effect that would directly destroy "Light and Darkness Dragon" or would cause either card to be removed from play or returned to the hand or deck, by using one of these cards in a chain and tributing "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" for its cost. This is a near-surefire way to save the loop, since the cost of activating these cards triggers the loop which resolves after the resolution of the previous chain.
 * This cannot stop "Effect Veiler" however, as "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" must be equipped with "Light and Darkness Dragon" for this to work.
 * You can also use these cards to change "Dragunity Arms Laevatein's" battle position outside of your own main phase, by activating one of these cards in a chain or in response to a summon or battle, tributing "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" for its cost, and Special Summoning it back in the opposite battle position.
 * You can also use these cards to allow "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" to attack multiple times in one turn by activating one of these cards during your Battle Phase after "Dragunity Arms Laevatein" has attacked, tributing Laevatein for its cost, then Special Summoning it back to the field in attack position through "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect. The newly-special summoned Laevatein will be able to attack this turn. Do this only after all of your monsters have attacked, as they will be destroyed by "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect.
 * Use "Nightmare Archfiends" and "Burst Breath]" while this card is equipped with "Light and Darkness Dragon" to deal huge amounts of damage to your opponent. First, Tribute this card for "Nightmare Archfiends" and bring it back again with "Light and Darkness Dragon" then, on your next turn, or even during your opponent's turn, Tribute it for "Burst Breath" (as if you have both "Nightmare Archfiends" and "Burst Breath" set on your side of the field, "Light and Darkness Dragon" will destroy them both). Not only will this destroy all "Nightmare Archfiend" tokens, but will deal a hefty 2100 damage to your opponent, and also will probably wipe out any other monsters they have face up. This also works with "Ojama Trio".
 * Use "Dragon Control Technique" to equip this card to "Dragunity Militum",special summon it using Militum's effect and equip it with "Dragunity Arms Misteil".During your next turn,special Summon Misteil using "Dragunity Militum" and equip it with another "Dragunity Arms Laevatein".Then,summon another Militum during the same turn.Use the 2nd Militum's effect to special summon Laevatin and equip it with another "Dragunity Arms Misteil".Note:This method can only be done by having 2 or 3 laevatin and Misteil in your graveyard and at least 1 Dragunity Arms Laevatin or Dragunity Misteil in your hand.Make sure you have "Dragon Canyon" to add "Dragunity Militum" to your hand.
