V Hero Trinity

First things first: No you cannot use Miracle Fusion to summon him. Should be obvious, but apparently some people need clarification on these simple things.

V Hero Trinity is the second fusion that uses the general HERO, alongside Absolute Zero, giving it a heap of versatility, right?

Wrong. By being a fusion of three monster, it loses a lot of its power. What made Absolute Zero and the other elemental heroes good was its ability to fuse with only two monsters: One on your field, and one on the opponents(hopefully).

Alas, three monsters on the field that are heroes arent easy to come by.

However, even if you did get out this 5000ATK triple attacker, getting past monsters isnt quite enough. Similarly to Neos Knight, it lost a big chunk of its potential broken'ness to the inability to give the opponent a strong direct attack.

So is this just a bigger Neos Knight?

To be honest, Id stick with Neos Knight. Miracle Fusion schenanigans.

Of course, without the ability to direct attack, Trinity would pretty much be the defining factor in a whole new breed of OTKs.

Just imagine: Cyclone/Trunade -> Polymerization -> Trinity -> 5000ATK X3.

Perhaps the inability to direct attack was too strong a blow to make this balanced?

What do you think. How could Trinity have been balanced?

Thats all for today.

  1. *2 fusion parts.
    *On the turn it is summoned, monsters attacked by it are switched to def mode instead of doubled atk.
    *battle damage always halved.
    *Doesn't have to be summoned by Fusion Summon.

  2. You can use Half Shut to repeatedly attack an attack position monster for game. All you really need to worry about is summoning Trinity.

  3. To be fair, I think Trinity is meant to be used with other Vision Heroes when they come out (assuming they really do bring out the other V-Heroes), so that would make him much easier to summon.

    The V-Heroes have an effect similar to Crystal Beasts in that they get put in your Spell/Trap zone when destroyed, but unlike Crystal Beasts, which are just fuel for that deck's theme spells/traps and Rainbow Dragon, you can use those destroyed V-Heroes as tributes for summoning bigger V-Heroes from your hand.

    At least that's how they work in the GX manga. We don't know if they'll release any more V-Heroes and if they'll keep their effects from the manga.

  4. I heard being able to attack 2/3 monsters in attack mode with a 5000attacker good. Seriously its a extreamly powerful fusion being able to end the duel instantly and easily
