Core Combos and Interactions

Boss Monsters

	Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir
	When battling using Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir, you receive no battle damage regardless of the opponent's monster having more ATK . Furthermore, the ATK equivalent is dealt to the opponent as effect damage, and the monster that this monster battled will be destroyed via effect.
	Bacha the Melodious Maestra
	While Bacha the Melodious Maestra is active and on your field, activated effects from your other Fusion "Melodious" monsters cannot be negated. On Fusion Summon, its effect lets you Special Summon another "Melodious" monster straight from the Deck for free. It also has a floating effect where if this card is sent to the GY, it can bring back a different "Melodious" monster from the GY apart from itself.
	Flowering Etoile the Melodious Magnificat
	Flowering Etoile the Melodious Magnificat is the archetype's newest boss monster. Through its Quick Effect, it can bounce cards from the opponent's field by the number of "Melodious" monsters you banish from the GY. When it leaves the field, it also triggers a floating effect that Special Summons a "Melodious" monster in the Deck or even the Extra Deck.
	Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess

Melodious Counters: How to Beat

Best Decks to Use Against Melodious

Yubel

Dueling against Yubel might be an interesting interaction with Melodious, especially if it's a Yubel monster boosted with the effect of Nightmare Pain against Bloom Diva. This might be more of an even match, so long as Yubel doesn't get to its other forms, or be boosted wit the help of the Unchained Engine via Unchained Soul of Rage.

Tenpai Dragon

Try as Melodious might, it is extremely hard to deal with Tenpai Dragons once they make it to the Battle Phase. If they can, they will absolutely go into Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion as quickly as possible to deny the "Melodious" boss monsters their effects during battle. And if they manage to go into full combo? That is a 6000 ATK Trident Dragion with three attacks eager to win the game..

Horus

The effect of King's Sarcophagus will be the key difference here when it comes to battling against Horus. Its effect to send a monster a Horus monster battles automatically to the GY during the Battle Step only triggers once per turn, and targeted effects will not work with the "Horus" monsters while the Contiunuous Spell Card is on the field.

"Melodious" players will have to be cautious, and "Horus" players will have to use their effects wisely.

Best Cards to Tech Against Melodious

	Kaijus
	You can expect a Kaiju or a monster with similar effects of tributing your monsters if they do not want the trouble of having to battle it. Easy choice to consider is Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju for havin the lowest ATK among all Kaijus, but other monsters like Lava Golem and Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode can also work if their requirements are met.
	Super Polymerization
	Most of the monsters in this Deck are LIGHT and Fairy-type monsters. This makes them uniquely susceptible to be used as Fusion Material by the opponent should they have Super Polymerizatio, which will more often than not result in a Mudragon of the Swamp or Garura to their own benefit.
	Forbidden Droplet
	A well-timed use of Forbidden Droplet during the Battle Phase will make the "Melodious" boss monsters easier to defeat in battle, and even deny them the activation of some effects that only trigger when they do battle. Their ATK getting halved is a nice bonus touch as well.
	Dimensional Barrier
	If a player that uses lots of Trap Cards find out quickly you play a Fusion-based Deck in Melodious, they will not hesitate to fire Dimensional Barrier the moment you attempt to conduct a Fusion Summon. It only gets worse if they also run Transaction Rollback, meaning they essentially have its effect around 4-6 times.
