Instructions for building and playing Superheavy Samurai (Ver 2023)
SSam is an archetype famous for quickly establishing an invincible field with a style that doesn't rely too much on Spell/Trap. And with its new support in CYBERSTORM ACCESS, SSam will take a new step forward and have an extremely powerful gameplay!
Sections covered in this guide:
overview
This version will give you more summoning options and allow you to access the most terrible Extra Decks in the current meta, not to mention, the Pendulum and Link supports also make searching for cards much easier. much!
In addition, on the internet at this time there are also a lot of vids showing that SSam's 1.5 card combo is taking over the show of the current meta. Let's also see how this version is built!
Core
As for the Core part, it goes without saying that it will focus a lot on SSams. However, their support will be added in the latest CYBERSTORM ACCESS pack as well
Các Searcher chính
Wagon, Soulpiercer and Soulpeacemaker are all 3 searcher cards that we know through the old version of SSam:
- Wagon searches for 1 Soul when switching from Attack to Defense position
- Piercer searches for 1 SSam straight from the Deck if it goes down to GY , suitable for Normalizing it then Linking and with this effect, it will not be limited to once per turn but can be used continuously with the latest 2 Pendulum! It also helps penetrate armor
- Peacemaker will sacrifice 1 SSam that it equips to search , which is quite resource consuming so you can consider only putting 1-3 cards in your deck. But according to the old combo method, you can still equip it to Piercer to get a double search !
The change I want to talk about is Bike: its effect allows us to put it on the GY to immediately search for 1 SSam from the Deck , this is an extremely good effect, helping you not waste too many resources. This type of card is only created by searching, but the second effect is rarely used in my personal opinion.
Superheavy Samurai Prodigy Wakaushi and Superheavy Samurai Monk Big Benkei (Các Pendulum mới)
What has changed significantly are these two new Pendulums, making your SSam set strangely linked.
- Wakaushi with the monster effect allows you to summon 1 SSam from the Deck (so we have a 5th searcher :v) at the cost of discarding 1 card (monster) in your hand to the GY. And if you Synchro use it as a material and it is placed on the Extra Deck face up, it will be returned to the Pendulum Zone (This is an extremely smart way to recycle after using up all of your Normal Summon turns). me, you can continue to extend your combo through Pendulum Summon). In addition, this bonus is a Tuner !
- With his Pendulum effect, Wakaushi allows you to put another Pendulum ( Big Benkei ) directly into the Pendulum Zone and then summon it. Thus, if you use a combo that includes Wakaushi, you will want to put it into the Pendulum Zone first so you don't lose 1 Normal Summon.
- Big Benkei's monster effect allows you to quickly summon it to the field for the cost of only 1 copy of it whether in your Deck or in your hand. In addition, it can also be recycled again to use for Pendulum Summon after being placed on the Extra Deck during Synchro.
- As for its Pendulum effect, Big Benkei allows you to search for 1 Soul and put it in your hand (so we have a 6th searcher :v). You will want to search for Piercer due to its reusable effects.
With 2 new Pendulums, 1 SSam set has up to 6 searchers and makes your combos truly interconnected and your actions truly meaningful :v You will not be labeled a no-read Where is the player, but when playing SSam, remember to read carefully (:>)
Superheavy Samurai Stealthy (2-3x)
As the name "Spy", this card will help us set Spells/Traps in opp's GY on our field and even REMOVE that card after it leaves the field (bye Labrynth). Doubly convenient for yourself, both helping the GY empty Spell/Trap, and eliminating potential dangers with Spells/Traps that can trigger effs in the GY.
Superheavy Samurai Drum and Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter (Tuner)
Both of these Tuners are a bit different in level, but with normal builds, you will want to use Drum because it's easy to measure level for synchro, but if you play in a style that doesn't want to waste any Normal Summon or potential Summon turns, I will advise you to use Trumpeter.
Other Superheavy Samurai
And of course there will be a few SSams that you think will "work well" when you put them in, but in reality they won't speed up the deck, but you can put them in the Side Deck in some situations!
Superheavy Samurai Thief (0-1x)
Thief has a similar effect to Spy but it will not completely solve opp's Spell/Trap, only Set can go on the field and that's it. However, for decks that use Pendulum, this card will work extremely well, but to be honest, no one uses Pendulum much and knows a lot about the properties of Pendulums considered Spells, so Spy will have the darkest effect. is better than this card.
Oh but the plus point of this card is a level 10 body that is completely free and easy to summon, hmmm, the ATK is a bit low but what is your ultimate goal? Go to Synchro, right?
Superheavy Samurai Battleball (1x)
The effect will be a bit similar to Underworld Goddess but will be Synchro, this effect will work well for Decks that use Aces as leveled monsters, will troll them a bit but also works well to eliminate the relationship. dangerous without triggering any monster effects.
Tech
The nature of SSams is that they do not need to use Spells/Traps, so if added to the deck, SSams will not be able to operate smoothly, but if duelists are really smart, they will use Spells/Traps. Trap banishes itself from the grave to activate the effect, convenient for SSam. But it's quite rare that those cards can be used to really cause a connection to SSam, so I also skipped part of the article about Spells/Traps and will summarize them through the Tech section below!
Extra Deck
SSam's Extra Deck will be quite diverse, but I'll just suggest you a few cards that I think you'll need for an SSam OCG version!
Naturia Beast, Naturia Exterio and Naturia Barkion (Naturia)
An Engine that is extremely suitable for SSam using the EARTH attribute, plus the use of extremely powerful negates (the cost is cards in the same deck or in the graveyard). These will be good Extra Deck options for you to consider putting in the Main Deck and Side Deck.
Qliphort Genius (1x)
You can search for Therion "King" Regulus or simply other high level SSams. To do this, you can do it through Pendulum Summon !
Combo
Oh this post is so long! But we'll get to the part where we actually understand how to use the deck. Below is the basic combo for this version!
Combo cơ bản nhất
You will only need 1 card in your hand, Soulpiercer , and 1 other card to discard: v
- Normal Summon Soulpiercer
- Link Scarerow , Eff Soulpiercer activates when brought to the GY and allows you to get a Bike into your hand
- Drop the Bike into the GY to get Wakaushi
- Activate Wakaushi into Pendulum Zone and activate Pendulum Eff, allowing us to Sum it onto the field and put Benkei into Pendulum Zone
- Activate Scarerow 's 2nd eff, discard 1 card to Sum Soulpiercer from below GY onto the field.
- Synchro 1 body level 8 onto the field (At this point, you can stop setting up the field with Borreload Savage Dragon but you will need to put Scarerow on the GY before Synchro it up to have 1 negate for Borreload!). The body I chose is Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon to extend my combo.
- Wakaushi goes to the Extra Deck, activates eff to return to the Pendulum Zone, and Soulpiercer, when down to the GY, activates his Eff to get another Wakaushi in his hand. Finally, Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon will activate the eff to bring the Bike onto the field. So we have 3 chains (Arrange the chain so that Wakaushi's effect lasts to avoid getting hit by Ash).
- Synchro to Baronne thanks to Accel and Bike (You can stop here but we can still do more :")).
- Activate Benkei 's effect to add Peacemaker to your hand
- Equip Peacemaker to Scarerow to activate the effect, sacrifice Scarerow to bring Scales to the field.
- Scales activates the eff to bring Soulpiercer back to the field
- Link Summon to Qliphort Genius . Activating Soulpiercer 's effect brings another SSam to hand (Bike).
- Pendulum Summon both Bike and Wakaushi to the field, activating Genius's effect, bringing Therion "King" Regulus to hand
- Link Summon Mecha Phantom Beast Auroradon , using Genius and Wakaushi. Then 3 Tokens are summoned to the field.
- Activate Auroradon's eff, use it and Bike to summon O-Lion to the field. Now you have 3 Token level 3 and 1 Tuner level 2
- You can go to Borreload Savage Dragon right now and choose Auroradon to get 3 negates.
- Summon Therion "King"
You can see, with this combo, the combinations and gameplay creativity are limitless. As you can see, we have 1 Token left over for Synchro spawns of other strong bosses, but the main idea here is that with this combo, you will have at least 3 negates in the same turn (Baronne, Borreload, Therion "King"), pretty much giving opp a hard time!
