These monsters may seem quite standard for your ideal fusion based archetype, but with the additional Branded spell/trap support from Burst of Destiny, Despia should be able to produce better results. In addition, it has a nifty quick self-revival effect as an additional body. Especially in a format where Verte Anaconda‘s 2000 LP cost is common, Masquerade the Blazing Dragon can edge the opponent towards a point where without enough LP, they simply can not activate any cards anymore. Masquerade the Blazing Dragon contains a devastating burn effect that eventually builds up over time. Along with Proskenion’s necromancy, it is easy to conclude a game instantly with its presence. It also boasts significant stats, and deals heavy damage destroying opponent monsters. Proskenion punishes the opponent from deserting their extra deck options by either banishing or using them from their GY anytime. Paired with both Aluber and the Despia Theater, this results in multiple bodies for your opponent to clear every turn.ĭespian Proskenion is the deck’s more offensive option with a heavier summoning cost. More importantly, upon destruction, it will summon another Despian from the deck. Despian Quaeritis is the titular fusion monster, with a nifty effect to set all lower beings to 0 ATK. Leading CastĪptly named after the legendary aspects of drama, these fusion monsters usually require only a singular Despia and Light/Dark monsters for their emergence. (from Branded in Red especially.) Despia can play through opposing Dimension Shifters to a certain degree.ĭespia monsters excel better when used for fusion summoning, so constantly fusing them is the key to overwhelming advantage. It is also worth noting that when these monsters are banished while used for fusing, they will still trigger. Dramaturge can negate extra deck monsters while being a big body, and Ad Libitum can grant your monsters the additional boost needed to finish games quicker. Despian Tragedy is this deck’s monster tutor, easily achievable by using Foolish Burial, Gold Sarcophagus, Allure of Darkness or simply using it as a fusion material! Dramaturge and Ad Libitum are both high level monsters that require additional effort to be summoned, but serve as fantastic fusion materials. Ideally, you would want to summon Aluber first to retrieve a spell for fusion summoning.

Although these members do not share any similar effects, they will all revolve around the importance of fusion summoning. Main CharactersĪs of this article, the latest support has been from Burst of Destiny, and it is extremely likely for this archetype to receive even more relevant support.Īny other Despia main deck monsters not mentioned are either counterproductive to the game plan or simply useless. Otherwise, Despia alone is a great archetype for any fusion based decks as well. As the game plan truly begins once a fusion monster appears on your field, players have resorted to adopting additional fusion-based support. Either way, Despia will irritate the opponent with its perpetual bodies. Despia, Theater of the Branded further cements this strategy by picking up a fallen fusion, should your fairies perish from your opponent’s actions. Upon its destruction, Aluber the Jester of Despia will revive itself, or Despian Quaeritis will summon another Despia from deck. The usual playstyle is to develop a Fusion Monster. Along the way, Despia adopts a sub-archetype of Branded spell/traps to aid their mission. The Despian cast consists of two moving parts, the main deck monsters with their effects to fusion summon their boss monsters. This sort of strategy present themselves as a tempo playstyle, where your objective is to outlast your opponent to annoyance.Īs the chaotic yet aesthetic nature of this archetype has fondly settled upon many rogue players including me, I would like to present a brief overview of the deck’s nature. These fallen fairies will constantly call upon their fiendish fusion overlords, which will spawn other minions upon destruction. Outside of trying to display their wicked intentions across the Dogmatika story, Despia brandishes a strong reliance on its Fusion-based strategy. Introducing themselves as the antagonist architect behind the dubious Dogmatika, the Despians bear a recurring motif of theatrical elements and corruption. Despian is a Fusion-based archetype announced from Dawn of Majesty.
