Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki

Today, for the first time ever, we'll be taking a look at 3 cards instead of just one. We'll take a look at the powerful combos of "Elemental Hero Neos Alius", "Gemini Spark" and "Hero Blast". In a time where Yusei's style of play is popular, Angel Flores used Jaden's style of Hero play to rise up and overcome some of the top Decks in today's meta.

First we have "Elemental Hero Neos Alius". "Neos Alius" has a powerful 1900 ATK, which means he's capable of beating almost any monster your opponent Normal Summons or Flip Summons, like "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster", "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame" or even go toe-to-toe with "XX-Saber Boggart Knight". It also helps that he's Level 4, so he easily summoned. His LIGHT Attribute is another thing he has going for him. If he battles a more powerful monster, he can tap into the powers of justice and you can use "Honest" to give him a power boost large enough to handle even the biggest monsters your opponent can send your way! Being a Warrior-Type means that he can be searched out through fellow "Elemental Hero", "Elemental Hero Stratos", "Reinforcement of the Army" or "E - Emergency Call". And his Gemini status is another thing will help him.

Next we have "Gemini Spark". "Gemini Spark" is a powerful card that can get around the commonly played "Trap Stun", and in a pinch during your turn, it can be played from the hand. To activate it, you need to tribute a Gemini monster, which your "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" is, and target a card your opponent controls. Then, you destroy that card, and you draw a new one! This can help you get rid of monsters that can't be destroyed through battle, like "Colossal Fighter" or "Spirit Reaper", or destroy a powerful Set card, like "Mirror Force" or "Torrential Tribute". Having your "Neos Alius" in the Graveyard might not seem like a good thing, but our next card changes that.

Finally, we have "Hero Blast". "Hero Blast" has you target a Normal "Elemental Hero" monster in your Graveyard, which "Neos Alius" is since it's a Gemini monster. Then, you add it to your hand and destroy one monster your opponent controls. That means that you get a monster back, and destroy one of your opponent's at the same time! You can destroy cards like "XX-Saber Emmersblade" or "Gladiator Beast Hoplomus" to prevent them from getting their effects. "Hero Blast", being a Normal Trap Card, can be negated by the popular "Trap Stun", but that doesn't mean you can't use it during your turn. With this, you can even Chain it to your opponent's cards and launch a surprise attack. Never count a Hero out.

These are some powerful combinations of cards that don't look very powerful on their own, but Heroes often have strength in numbers. You can also use cards like "Upstart Goblin", "Pot of Duality" and "Gold Sarcophagus" to get to these powerful cards faster. Getting these cards to your hand will give you more control over the Duel, and more power for your opponent to have to deal with. Hero Duelists unite!
