Deck Explanation

Difficulty Level: 1☆
The monsters in this "Zoodiac" Deck draw strength directly from their allies. Each "Zoodiac" Xyz Monster can be Summoned by using another "Zoodiac" monster (with a different name) as the material, also gaining ATK/DEF equal to that of all "Zoodiac" monsters it has attached. What's more, the Level 4 "Zoodiac" monsters have effects that grant an effect to the Xyz Monster they are attached to. The key to winning is being attentive while using effects at all- or-nothing moments.

Heroic Champion - Kusanagi x1 Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights x1 Ra x1 - -

Deck Explanation

Difficulty Level: 2☆
This "Heroic" Deck doesn't lose heart, and when on the ropes, bounces back to win. First, strengthen your position by using the effect of a card like "Heroic Challenger - Morning Star", then fend off your opponent's offensives with a "Heroic" monster capable of interrupting them during their turn. Once it's possible to strike, swiftly end the Duel with "Heroic Champion - Claivesolish", Xyz Summoning it and using its effects to reach insanely high ATK. When you have the choice, going second is also recommended. Although this enables your opponent to pressurize you, this Deck benefits from being able to attack straight away.

Deck Explanation

Difficulty Level: 3☆
This Deck centers on LIGHT Machine Union monsters, with "XYZ-Hyper Dragon Cannon" as the ace. Your opening card should be "Union Hangar" or "Union Activation", which function in multiple ways to strengthen your hand, field, and Graveyard situation. Once prepared, strike with Fusion Monsters like "XYZ-Hyper Dragon Cannon" or "ABC-Dragon Buster", which can be Special Summoned by banishing cards from your field or Graveyard. Take note of the effects Union monsters can use when they are equipped!
