Didn’t Borreload already have a fusion version or this is the varies monster version?
Furious Dragon. This is Fatal Flare. It’s a bit harder to summon, but it is a searcher.
Yeah, this is second one. First fusion is named as Furious
Since Savage is banned in the TCG Borreload need a new Synchro more then anything.
I don’t think any of these cards are gonna be designed around the TCG banlist. I’m fully expecting them to put Savage to 1 before these cards release
Correct Revolver has one fusion.
They’re giving the Rokkets their own Red Reboot, so that implies they think red reboot is safe to bring back to the TCG, heck master duel has red reboot at 2 and it’s harming no one.
@ World of Pain
Didn’t he give it to Playmaker before his duel A.I though?
@ Axel The HERO Yogi thank god it’s nowhere near as powerful as RR.
@ Naransolongo_BB: Honestly, I think this IS being designed with that banlist in mind — for why I say such, look at how they gave Fatal Flare an effect that puts a monster in their backrow; sure, an argument can be made that it’s so that Detonator has someone that makes its effects live in the same pack, but at the same time it strikes me as showing that they’re aware that Detonator’s effect could have had problems in the TCG with Savage banned, and thus Fatal Flare was given a method of making its job easier.
I meant varis.
And to the shock of no one, it’s the VRAINS set
Fatal Flare is a good super poly target against Maliss
True, but I think Starving Venom is still a bit better (even against Maliss), both because it’s more generic and its effects are alright even outside of Rokket/D-Link decks.
surprised it took this long to make a rokket based off hollowpoint bullets
Does that mean more cards from the anime will be coming?
Isnt it Heavy Interlock not Heavy Trigger?
Yes that is correct. Heavy Interlock is the TCG name for Heavy Trigger. Maybe someone forgot to change the ritual spell card’s name before posting it here…
Burst of Destiny was only 4 years ago! Yeah, I’m not feeling it. Need a SIG Sauer M18 themed varrel dragon that has a 50% chance of dealing damage to its controller.
Tell me you’re a virgin without telling me you-re a virgin.
Sigborrel Dragon destroys itself and a random card on the board if you drop the card on the table by accident
This wave is like a puzzle to me
I love it
It seems like it’ll have some fun to it
We got one fewer card than usual but this ended up being a relatively decent cover wave overall.
I see rokket support and I clap my hands
Disappointment it wasn’t my favorite archetype.
@LongDong
Lol, just be quiet
It’s definitely Borrel and Rokket since day 1.
What, don’t tell me you’re expecting it to be your beloved Dark Magician?
At least they didn’t make any new tuner. That would of just pour more salt in the wound since Savage is banned in the TCG 😂.
Or they make 2nd sychro of Borrel that more restrict on summoning like “need dragon tuner”
@Valiant
Or you can just errata Savage to say that it “needs 1 Rokket tuner”, similar to how other Extra Deck monsters got nerfed in order to become Limited.
@Gin Juichi
Or they could just unban it because the card’s fine.
So…. Does this support improve Rokket or is it support for Dragon Link more than anything?
Rokket is dragon link
Rokket is the backbone of dragon link. Without rokket, dragon link simply does not exists
Rokket is D-link, it’s not like fiend decks where yubel/unchained/fiendsmith are making a PB&J with themselves and any one of those archetypes can take more focus than the others, d-link is just easier to say than chaos bystial rokket-borrel with all of the generic red-eyes support that helps pull dark dragons out of the deck
well its kind of both, these new cards are generic enough to facilitate “dragon link” but not quite like, the usual dragon link or family of dragon links we usually think of. rokket is obv the backbone of modern dragon link but these cards ever so slightly bias more towards the actual rokket gameplan which is usually something DLink tends to skip over in favor of more directly threatening boss monsters. We will probably end up seeing two philosophies for the deck, a more orthodox DLink Rokket that tries to avoid or delay the dark lock so it can set up dragon goodstuff the deck othewise wouldn’t let you with its new starters (say goodbye to romulus, spheres, if you wanna leverage the new stuff at its most potent) and a second style that plays into the lock and leverages less like, dragon synergy stuff in favor of like, dark monsters that interact well with the deck as it is without those cards. I doubt we’ll see like “pure rokket” esp since all the guys that pop themselves for interaction still don’t have an easy way of getting on board without massive opportunity cost, but you’ll probably see versions of the deck that swap out spheres and romulus and pisty and the like for like, iunno, S:P plays really well with the deck, and there’s no dearth of strong dark link and synchro monsters.
Rock solid support overall except maybe for the level 6.
woo rokket
that fusion looks like a fusion of borreload and red-eyes
My brother in being broke that is literally Firewall dragon with a borreload skin
And I’m all for it !
freakin GOD!!!! I thought that at last this pack would cover the Topologic side of his deck but no…. it just circled back to Borrels
How cum this boss monster gets the cool effects but not playmaker or A.I.
Hehe…cum
Why… Borrel wasnt even the focus of its own deck when it was meta with Dragon Link.
One of the problems with Rokket decks is that most of their main deck monsters don’t really do anything on their own, and are pretty slow to get out… This new wave doesn’t really fix much, because even with Rokket Loader which adds the new level 7 for the free summon, it will just get negated the bulk of the time, probably leaving you without any further plays. The deck needs to be faster with more extenders. As it is, Dragon Link is still really the only playable version for the deck, which is bit disappointing.
I mean, Rokket loader will peobably always search Absorouteur right ? Make Striker, add Boot sector launch, Striker and Abso make a link 2, Abso add a Rokket and special summon it with Sector launch.
@François
I forgot about Absorouter admittedly, however I did only say what I thought may happen if the opponent negates Rokket Loader, which means you wouldn’t get to add Absorouter in the first place. Unless you have another way to extend after the first card got negated, it otherwise feels hard to proceed onward. However I am not a expert on the deck, so I might be missing something.
@Fumetsuozo well there’s also Rokket Caliber (a Level 4 DARK Dragon main deck monster that conditionally specials itself to a zone a DARK Link Monster points to. It also has an effect to replace itself for a DARK Dragon or Machine monster from your hand) & Noctovision Dragon (a Level 7 DARK Dragon that specials itself on trigger when a DARK Dragon monster is special summoned). However, the opponent more than likely will deal with Rokket Tracer, one of the starters of the theme, and/or Quick Launch, the still non-searchable Quick-Play Spell that is the real starter of the theme, when they think you have nothing much else to settle on.
Man, Borrel Reboot sure does exactly what it says on the tin. Here’s hoping for “Orcust Soul Charge” next
Dragon link, is good see you again
Whoever designed in an era full of Maliss, Fiendsmith, Mitsurugi, Ryzeal, Yummy, K9 and Dragotail and the list is long ofc, needs to be presented in front of a jury to beg for ”negating” his execution order.
(ill apologize IF konami is trying to fix the game by lowering the power of the designs)
You smell like pee.
That’s what Nuremberg 4.0 will be for.
Fatal Flare’s design is suggesting that its Dark Link material is a Code Talker monster.
Man I love Yugioh because of the cards’ lore. Too bad there is none in this post.
So this is absolutely insane for Dragon Link. Let’s run down the list of cards and discuss what each one brings to the table:
Rokket Loader: It’s a one card starter. Its effect can search Absorouter Dragon, which can summon itself, allowing you to search Tracer when it’s linked off. If you know dragon link, you know this is full combo. Not to mention that this card can be summoned by Quick Launch, turning what was before a valuable extender into a one-card starter.
This increases the ceiling of the combo if you go through Romulus, since Tracer can summon Loader instead of Recharger. In this instance, you should search Noctovision, not the new level 7.
Hollowrokket Dragon: Not good, moving on
Rokket Detonator: Simply outclassed by Absorouter Dragon and Noctovision Dragon as Rokket Loader targets, but synergizes really well with Fatal Flare Dragon, allowing you to get 3 bodies in total from your fusion summon.
Borreload Fatal Flare Dragon: Thanks to the new fusion spell, this is basically a free extender after you make a link 3. Like I said before, you should probably search Detonator, so you can summon the card you equip with Fatal Flare’s second effect.
Borrelshroud Dragon: Outright outclassed by Borrelend, and even if Borrelend + Borrelshroud was possible as an end board (which it genuinely might be tbh), there’s probably better ways to use the material necessary.
Trisborrel Dragon: R.I.P. Triple Burst Dragon. May your memory live on in NR format. Trisborrel answers the age old question: what if the link 3 did something? We can search the new fusion and get an extra body for free, which searches another card for free. Neat.
Double Trigger: Miracle fusion that’s searchable off of a card we’d summon regardless of if it did anything. The only price is main deck consistency.
Borrel Reboot: unsearchable, but it is basically in-archetype red reboot. Could see side deck play.
Hollowrokket Dragon is good because it is an in Alarchetype lol 6. It allows you to summon it of tracer and make Bystial Dis Pater.
Rokket Loader DARK-locks you.
Wellp, color me wrong. Given that “Burst” was only related to a single Revolver card, I was pretty convinced that this would be a Cyber Dragon set. I guess Konami decided to put heavier emphasis on “Protocol” than on “Burst”, instead of going 50/50.
Still, I AM a fan of Dragon Link decks, so this should be fun!
Gotta say, though…. I wish they’d give Revolver a Link-6 monster. Both Playmaker and Ai each got one. If anyone else in VRAINS deserves a Link-6, it’s Revolver.
Pretty sure burst comes from burst of destiny and not from a specific card
Now please Konami TCG, do one thing right in your life and unban Savage.
Hi Everyone,
Greetings from the UK! This is my Rokket centric perspective on the support so perhaps Dragon Link players won’t find this as useful. Feel free to chime in if I’ve missed anything;
Rokket Loader- This is a great card because it’s the first Rokket monster that can be considered a true starter. I’m guessing that the 2nd effect is to be inclusive of non-dark tech monsters, turning them into eligible link/fusion material for the new Borrel monsters.
Hollowrokket Dragon- The card’s effects are reminiscent of the original Rokket playstyle which makes it difficult to justify playing it. Further, there are better monsters from the original playstyle – Silverrokkket Dragon immediately comes to mind, a superior banishing effect and is easier to get out of your hand with it being level 4). This coupled with the fact that Hollowrokket is a level 6 that can’t SS itself from the hand makes it non-playable in my opinion.
Rokket Detonator- Whilst being somewhat bricky, being a level 7 with a more conditional SS effect than what we have seen (i.e. Absorouter Dragon), it’s still worth playing as it has great synergy with Fatal Flare (I’ll explain later).
Borreload Fatal Flare Dragon- The best card from the support wave in my opinion. Searches on summon, can attach the link monster you used to fusion summon it (via Double Trigger) which can then be SS to the field via Rokket Detonator, potentially giving you enough material to go into a link 5 borrel monster and get a pop too.
Borrelshroud Dragon- Whilst it has less protection than Borrelend, it arguably has better negation ability and the ability to SS deadly utility like Borrelsword or Borreload. I’m not sure if this is a ‘better’ card than Borrelend but it is a good compliment to it and worth playing.
Trisborrel Dragon- Finally a credible way to search our Fusion/Ritual spell(s)! This is probably the best link monster to use in the combo I mentioned earlier. It can destroy itself (recovering resources at the same time) and become material for Double Trigger in the process. Trisborrel, Fatal Flare, and Detonator can then be used to go into a link 5 borrel monster.
Double Trigger- A 2-in-1 ritual/fusion spell searchable from Trisborrel with the added benefit of banishing Rokkets from the GY as opposed to consuming resources in your hand or field. Definitely a 1 of.
Borrel Reboot- Useful and practical utility but currently lacks a means to search it thus being part of the issue of whether archetypal traps than cannot be searched are worth playing.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (even tho it was obvious that this set will introduce Borrel support but still, I hate borrels)
I just wanted a Barrelrokket Dragon to exist for once, it’s been so long and the deck just needs it to probably bridge the two depending on the effect😭
Whoops meant Borrelrokket Dragon, auto correct sucks
god i love my dragonslop i love dragonslop im gonna whine about konami because they’re not as good as i wanted
I can’t 😩
These cards are just… so awesome
Rokkets were my number two deck before the blue eye structure that came out, and I actually wanted something that specifically searched level 7 dark dragons. Of course I also wanted a spell searcher
Support’s good, but damn does it look boring. Did dragon link really need more negates?
Where is new borrel Xyz
We have a trash rank 4 borrel
Seeing people say “borrel” is making me cringe so hard. God the TCG naming team needs firing out of a canon
Varrel too, just call them barrel Lord ffs
I stick to the corrupt spelling of varrel to be consistent with vullet. It also helps avoid confusion with the tcg name of revolver dragon.
I’m tired of seeing any decks get more support other than the phantom knights. Can we stop sleeping please, It’s been 6 years… And no more “joint support” crap, pure phantom knights and pure dark rebellion. Actually finish the archetype, it’s so behind on the times man the way they push out cards is a joke…
get a life
Never let Konami CEO near the reptile sector at the zoo
“Mr. Konami, I’m going to have to ask you to leave. You cannot strap guns to the Monitor Lizards.”
These Borrel cards really looks like Firewall Dragon (only wings ig), Darkfluid and Saber Dragon designwise.
I wonder if they will make a new synchro xyz and ritual?
I wish double disruptor dragon was a bit more playable insted of what we got. He woulf act more like a block dragon.
also getting access to LADD fusion would have been a godsend.
I wish it was a link 6.
