Changes: Card Tips:Cactus Fighter

Revision as of 18:30, 15 July 2015

Equipping "Big Bang Shot" will increase this monster's ATK by 400 and allows it to inflict piercing damage. Now you can keep destroying any Needle Token that is created by the effect of "Cactus Fighter" and deal direct damage to your opponent's life points.

Combine this card with "All-Out Attacks" or "Staunch Defender" to create a two card OTK, and just to make sure the monsters attacking you will be weaker just use "Burden of the Mighty".

After summoning a Needle Token to your opponent's side of the field with this card, you can destroy that token with "Fragrance Storm" to draw a free card (or two if the first card drawn is a Plant-Type monster).

Make sure to summon this beforehand, but you can then combo "Black Garden" to summon a Rose Token with every monster this card battles and destroys.

Using "Shrink" will reduce your opponent's ATK making this effect more reliable.

This card can be used in an OTK with "All-Out Attacks" to keep forcing the Needle Token into attacking "Cactus Fighter" every time one is Summoned. If you only control this face-up monster, that will keep happening until your opponent runs out of Life Points (provided that "Cactus Fighter" destroys one of your opponent's monsters during your opponent's turn).
- You can also use "Savage Colosseum".
  - You can also force your opponent to into this situation by using cards such as "Nightmare Archfiends", or combos using cards that summon tokens/monsters like "Scapegoat", "Metal Reflect Slime", "Statue of the Wicked" or "Fires of Doomsday" and cards that give control of your monsters to your opponent (and thus triggering the effect of "All-Out Attacks") like "Creature Swap", "Shien's Spy", "Enemy Controller" or "Mystic Box".

Combine this card with "Seed Cannon" to generate many counters on "Seed Cannon" rapidly; you'll be able to use the burn effect of "Seed Cannon" at maximum efficiency soon.

Use this card as the first strike against your opponent's monsters so "Victory Viper XX03", "Falchionβ" etc. can use their effects more easily by destroying the "Needle Token" instead.

A small combo that can be used is with "Timeater" to have a "Needle Token" to destroy safely for it, if in fear of a card like "Sakuretsu Armor" or "Yomi Ship" may be used to protect or counter the attack.
