Notes & Combos

I found Beetroopers enjoyable enough in the Theme Chronicle event, so I figured I'd give them another go.

While not super go second heavy given you still want to draw enough monsters to combo off, the main goal was to go second and then either OTK or at least clear the field enough to finish them off in the following turn.

It might be a bit rough though depending on who you run into since I believe that go second is the main strat for the cheese decks like Lyrilusc or having to deal with things like Yosenju (I guess Yosenju are ok going first too since they can potentially draw a card through their monsters and setup traps) and Ancient Warriors.. although, you can still run into some heavy trap builds as well.

I don't have Ultimate Great Insect nor Diabolantis, otherwise I might have tried to change things up a bit more for Ultimate Great Insect or outright added Diabolantis in over Leo. I just had Leo since I have Dragonbite, so who knows, I might be in a weird spot where going Leo is good (or even possible).

If Dream Cicada wasn't an SR, I might have tried that out, but I figured for the most part, Guard Mantis does the same thing and has more defense if needed. I guess it really depends on if you might want a rank 3 or 4 more so.

In the 5 games I've played so far, the only ED monsters I've used so far were the links and Cicada King (although.. I did link Cicada King off right afterwards while trying to figure out what I wanted to do against Yosenju with a set Judgment)

Regarding Squadder, if you can always run lower attack normal monsters, however, I figured I might as well just run Squadder since I'm not taking things super seriously and 2k is better than 1.2k~ if you are trying to OTK anyways.
