Explained
A Level 8 Synchro. After it attacks a Defense Position monster, destroy all Defense Position monsters your opponent controls. In your End Phase, destroy all your other monsters that didn't declare an attack this turn.
As a Level 8 Synchro to break through Defense Position boards.
- Forgetting the End Phase effect. It's mandatory, even on the first turn.
- Thinking the extra destroyed monsters count as destroyed by battle.
How it works
Materials: 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters.
- After damage calculation: If this card attacked an opponent’s Defense Position monster, destroy all Defense Position monsters your opponent controls.
- Your End Phase (once per turn): Destroy all other monsters you control that didn’t declare an attack this turn. This card must be face-up on the field to activate and resolve this.
Rulings in plain English
Attack effect: Mandatory Trigger after damage calculation. Monsters it destroys aren’t treated as destroyed by battle.
End Phase: Mandatory, once per turn in your End Phase, even on the first turn and even if there’s nothing to destroy. A monster whose attack was negated still declared an attack, so it survives.
It’s a “Red Dragon Archfiend” and “Archfiend” monster.
