Introduction to Stardust Dragon

Common Skills

• Master Skill (Stardust Dragon)
• Cohesion
• Reincarnation
• Immunity: Skill Negation

While not plentiful, Level 5 monsters with Speedy Summon are crucial to the Level 3-centric strategy, as it lets you summon Loading... as early and efficiently as possible. Aside from that, you will just want to get as much value out of your Level 3 bodies. whether that be with their stats or their abilities.

Strategy Notes

• As a defensive, longer-game strategy, your primary job early game is to not become the target. Superspeed ing for the middle card early game will help you accomplish that, as the threat of Mirror Force or Dark Hole should keep most enemies at bay. Loading... can also help assure this when played at the center node.

• If you can summon Loading... early, summon it in the least-threatening lane in Defense Mode.

• If Stardust is on the field and not under threat, you should be able to keep sending Level 3s down the other two lanes, since their newly granted Reincarnation will allow you to recoup on card advantage.

• Near the end of the game (around Turn 5 or 6), you should be able to use your card advantage to keep sending bodies in ATK Mode to push through the last bit of Damage to pull out the last-minute lead.

Loading... does get a lot easier to use with more access to higher-rarity cards. Not only do you get a second card with Speedy Summon with Loading... , you gain access to Loading... as well which, with Special Skill (Gagaga Magician) should be able to get you either a Level 5 to Summon Stardust or a decently-stated Level 3 to recycle with Stardust. You also gain a little more valuable Level 3 monsters to recycle with Stardust, like Loading... (who, as a Guardian Monster has unique utility), and Loading... (who has the highest ATK stat amongst all Level 3 monsters). Upgrading your few utility slots by adding cards like Loading... will also go a long way in providing value long-term.

Additional Skill slots for Stardust Dragon should probably go towards Cohesion , as it allows your Stardust to become a lot more threatening when you turn it to Attack Mode. It should also be noted that Loading... is one of the few monsters in the game that has access to the unique Skill Combination of Reincarnation and Immunity: Skill Negation , which would allow you to keep re-using your Stardust without losing your Master Skill (Stardust Dragon) (however, this combination is a lot more useful on a body without a Summon Requirement like Loading... ).
