Today was a Synchro day. I got those new Synchro monsters when I ... got frustrated with Pack Opener. But thanks to that frustrated bit, I have 5 new Synchroes to summon.

And, since my Synchro challenge is at 6/10, five more will get me to my next reward.

... And I’ll also be summoning some Ritual monsters. I haven’t summoned any for a while, and I should have enough to where I can get the next two rewards from the Ritual Challenge.

But Synchro monsters come first, so let’s get on with it. So I quickly summoned out Magical Android, Avenging Knight Parshath, Goyo Guardian, Nitro Warrior and Thought Ruler Archfiend.

With the five new Synchroes summoned, I was now at 11/10 for the challenge, so I opened it up and claimed my reward.

I then naturally summoned Ruddy Rose Dragon, and rechecked the challenge to check what the next reward would be.

Okay. Never heard of Garden Rose Flora, nor Ruddy Rose Witch, but considering the Ruddy in the Rose Witch’s name and the effect it has, I’d guess they came out at the same time as Ruddy Rose Dragon. And since Garden Rose Flora mentions Rose Tokens, I’m guessing it is some sort of Black Garden support. And since Akiza was the one who used Black Garden in the anime, there is the link to Black Rose Dragon.

Well, whatever. They will be good Synchros for Cailie, so I’ll take them. Now let’s get onto the Rituals.

I started with the non-effect Rituals I haven’t yet summoned. Magician of Black Chaos, why haven’t I summoned him yet? What am I? Someone who doesn’t like Dark Magician?

Garma Sword, Javelin Beetle, Super War-Lion and Zera the Mant. All of them got me up to 21, so I could claim the next reward, but I’ll just summon the rest of the Rituals first, and claim the rewards after.

For the effect Rituals I had Cu Chulainn the Awakened, Demise, King of Armageddon, Ruin, Queen of Oblivion and Lycanthrope.

Spoiler[collapse]

With all those summons, I was now at 25/20, so I should be able to claim two rewards.

... okay. That’s cool. It just changed the reward because I had the reward already. I summoned my new Ritual, and then checked for the 25 summons reward.

Like with regular emerald roses, verdant emerald roses can be brewed into a tea that will boost your Wind Magic for some time. You can also make potions that boost Wind Magic from them. But unlike with the regular ones, the tea and potions made with verdant emerald roses also boost Nature Magic.

It isn’t a significant amount, but it has a decently long duration, so it isn’t terrible. And the tea made with verdant emerald roses tastes really nice.

After the flight, Thought Ruler Archfiend made me realize that there was something I wasn’t yet training for. Standing up against mental attacks. Like mind control and that kind of stuff.

Admittedly I never thought to prepare against that because I have cards like Remove Brainwashing, and I’ve just never encountered anyone who can brainwash people.

But now that I have some Psychic monsters, who are skilled in different kinds of mental attacks, I decided it was time to start practicing that sort of stuff. Sure I could get the skill with an install of the aforementioned Remove Brainwashing, but my next install was decided some time ago.

...speaking of, it is time for me to take that install.

And the install is ... Swords of Revealing Light! For the skill Restraining Sword Barrage.

Spoiler

[collapse]

The skill is basically Gate of Babylon mixed with Unlimited Blade Works. Both are from the Fate series, in case you didn’t know them.

In short, with the LV.1 skill, I can generate up to 4 golden swords, and then launch them at my opponents. The swords break on contact with basically anything, don’t actually do any HP damage, and just inflict a stun effect on the opponent if they hit.

By default they just fly straight, but I can somewhat guide them with Telekinesis, or I can even wield one like a regular sword, but it does leave my hands tingly afterwards.

But after I get the skill leveled up, I’ll be able to make more swords at the same time, I'll be able to control them after 'launching' them, I can have the swords do some actual HP damage, and the stun effect will lengthen into temporary paralysis. It should make for an amazing crowd control skill.

I mean, even with the higher level skill, I should be able to choose to just have the swords do 0 damage, so I can just spam them at people, no matter their level, with no chance of the swords accidentally killing anyone.

And, because there is more, I should be able to make a circle of swords around someone, or a group of people, and if they touch a sword, they get stunned or paralyzed. So I’ll be able to make my own Swords of Revealing Light.

... admittedly it will never be quite as powerful as the spell, as the spell freezes most non-friendlies inside and the skill will never gain that ability. But Time Magic should be able to do that part.

Anyway, here are my stats after the install.
