Ace's HERO Archetypes! [3 archetypes, 40 cards total!]

[AcediaJC]

So, some of my favourite cards in the game have always been the various HERO archetypes. Elemental HERO, Destiny HERO, Evil HERO, Masked HERO, the Neos stuff... The comic book theme always appealed to me, and I always enjoyed how they made Fusions actually fun and interesting (Up until the various HERO archetypes came out I used to always avoid Fusion and Ritual monsters 'cause of their requirements of such specific cards), and one of my main decks right now when playing online is a HERO deck as well (Masked mostly, with some of the generic fusions and some synchros mixed in).

 

So with my love for the archetype, I wanted to make one of my own... But I had so many ideas, so I figured "Why only one"? So in this thread, there will be three separate HERO archetypes posted: The Anti HERO archetype (Based on over the top "edgey" comics from the 90s like Punisher and Ghost Rider), the Magic HERO archetype (A Spellcaster HERO variation that combines fantasy elements and comic book themes), and the Techno HERO archetype (Cyberpunk and Tron styled heroes, along with some homages to other technology based superheroes).

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated! :D

 

EDIT 7: Added 5 new Techno HERO cards! Terabyte, Matrix, Firewall, Advanced User Interface, and Cyberspace Wormhole! I think I'm going to keep the Techno HERO archetype relatively small, so there may only be two or three more cards that will be added and the rest of the updates will just be tweaks to their balance and such.

 

EDIT 8: Final big update! Added the last of the Techno HERO cards (Monster Hard Drive, Deep Web, Hack Kid, and Antivirus) as well as made some tweaks to Battery, Terabyte, Matrix, and User Interface.

I like the anti HERO(s), only thing is that I'm not sure anti HERO(s) is the right name for them because anti just seems too similar to evil in my opinion. Can't wait to see the rest of them.

I always saw it as Elemental HEROs being the typical superheroes, while Evil HEROs are (despite having hero in the name) are the villains or heroes that fall to the dark side. My Anti HEROs are based more on the sort of characters that are, well, anti-heroes :P Like The Punisher and such mentioned above, the sort of hero characters that use morally ambiguous methods in the name of justice. Though, maybe the Evil HERO archetype is already that and I'm just interpreting things wrong :P

[bloorocksDotD]

I guess that makes sense :p. Evil heros being turned to dark side heros and anti heros being like... well vigilantes like Kick-Ass

[Libracor]

I've had a HERO archetype in mind for a while now, just never typed it up. The first one is a group of faries called Skysent HERO based on biblical figures that focus on defensive effects. The other is a group of fiends called Hellfallen HERO that focus on trolling and effect destruction. Personally, I feel like we've both copied Evil HERO and Destiny HERO because our monsters can be used in conjunction with any HERO. Even the fusion one.

I wouldn't say we've really copied them too much, considering the HERO archetypes have all always been able to support each other while also functioning as their own deck. You and I have only really just been following Konami's basic design rather than copying it completely. I'm interested to see your archetypes if you ever do put them into card form though! :D

[liavcol]

WOWOWOWOWOW I like them sooo much :D 

I am too LOVE HEROes you may see that in my gallery (in which most of the cards are HEROes, containing new types and everything).

I can't wait to see your Magic HEROes, please consider support for "E* HERO Boss Pit" when you make them.

[AcediaJC]

Finally got around to adding more to the Anti HERO set. Just a couple more fusions to make for them, and then it's time to move on to the Magic HERO set!

[lokun489]

The only real problem I have with this set is "Anti HERO Skullface" as it is hard to tell what his effect is supposed to do. If its that he reveals a monster and then banishes, he's a little to strong, because he's just a free banish, if it is that if he used to fusion summon the revealed monster then he banishes, it's just a little hard to understand then.

His effect basically works the same way as the last effects of Gunshow and Thunderblade where if he's used to Fusion Summon an Anti HERO Fusion Monster (Which he probably would since they all require a DARK monster and one material has to be an Anti HERO) his effect triggers, but the difference is he has to reveal the monster you want to use him for once you summon him in order to gain the effect, and he can only reveal a card if he was Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned. Honestly re-reading it now, I'm not too happy with how he works so I'm thinking I may change Skullface to do something different, since his entire effect is just a more complicated way of wording the same effects as two other Anti HERO monsters'.

[AcediaJC]

Anti HERO archetype is now completed!

[AcediaJC]

Just added the first card of the Magic HERO archetype! I designed Familiars to be a useful card both for HERO decks in general (Can tokens be used as fusion materials though?) and just for decks that could make good use of its free token (Like decks that require lots of tributes or low level synchro materials). Is it too powerful though since it gives you a free token as soon as it's summoned, both SS and NS? I like the idea of it giving you a token to use for various HERO fusions, but I feel like it could easily be abused. Any thoughts?

It looks alright to me. In the GX manga, a token-only fusion was showcased. The only difference is that tokens don't go to the graveyard, so cards like "De-Fusion" won't bring them back.
Also, I personally don't think this is overpowered. In fact, I think that if the "Magic Heroes" focus on fusion support through summoning tokens and contact fusion with their ace, you'd have an excellent utility archetype.

[AcediaJC]

Rather than something completely token focused, I decided to make the Magic HEROs based more on effects that dump their spell cards, among some other interesting tricks they have up their sleeves. I feel like they might have some severe balance problems, but at least the idea behind their play style is worked out and clear now :)

[AcediaJC]

Little bump to say that the Magic HERO archetype is now complete! I'm sure there's plenty of balancing tweaks I'll need to come back and give them later on, but all the cards are made and posted now at least.

 

Also had some thoughts for the Techno HERO archetype's play style, I'm thinking that possibly they'd be built around using Fusion monsters as fodder for bringing out other Synchro/Xyz monsters (Just general Sync/Xyz plays, they won't have their own Synchros or Xyzs). Would that be an interesting direction to take them, or should I just stick to them working only with Fusions like the others?

I feel like techno's would be good for crowd control effects and general trolling such as disabling abilities and bouncing cards back to the hand or deck. Low-damage burn effects and a high-ATK boss fusion could also be a good addition, but that may be overdoing it.

[AcediaJC]

Think I've come up with an interesting idea for the Techno HERO archetype, so those should be up soon! In the mean time, liavcol whipped up some awesome sorta HD versions of the Anti HERO monsters for me, which I've posted in an extra little spoiler under the original YCM versions. Feel free to check'em out, he did an awesome job with them :)

 

EDIT:

Just uploaded the first two Techno HERO monsters! I sort of reversed the idea I had for them earlier. Instead of using Fusions to bring out Xyzs, they use Xyzs to bring out Fusions.

[lokun489]

Oh my lord I love the two Techno Hero monsters. I imagine that they will entirely be based around detaching Xyz Materials, attaching them just as often, and effects for when both of those happen. Also the ability to use the Xyz materials as fusion materials is a really great one. The only problem I see with it is just how cheap it is. I mean yes they take up one of your extra deck spaces, but in reality you want something more than just "Tribute this card and special summon a fusion monster using this cards xyz materials as fusion materials." Not that it isn't a great idea, just that it needs a little bit bigger of a cost. Especially with the ability to manipulate what the materials are.

Would a small LP cost be enough? Considering Battery, Matrix, and Advanced UI all have LP costs for some of their effects already it would match with the others, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea since then they might just burn through LP way too quick in order to do anything.

[Calvin Chase]

I could be wrong seeing as you haven't completed the Techno Hero set yet, but I'm pretty sure the various effects that activate when "this card as an Xyz material is detached by a card effect" are meant to activate whenever you detach them for your Techno Hero Xyz monsters' effects, yes? But the Xyz monsters only detach their Xyz materials as a cost for the effect not as part of the effect, ergo none of the Xyz material get detached by the effect of your Xyz monsters. If I am right about what you meant to say, then the effects should read, "If this card as an Xyz material is detached to activate a card effect..." or something equivalent to that. Of course I may be wrong, and you may have meant for these effects to activate if your opponent tries to use card effects to get rid of your monsters' Xyz material, but seeing as you wrote, "If this card as an Xyz material is detached by the effect of a Techno Hero monster," on Terabyte's effect, I couldn't help getting a different impression.

No you're right, it's meant to be when they're detached to activate an Xyz's effect (Though only Terabyte requires it to be detached from a Techno HERO Xyz, the others with that effect are supposed to trigger if they're detached from any Xyz monster). Wordings and rulings regarding costs vs. effects always kinda trip me up, so thanks for the help :) Would an easier way to word it be "When this card as an Xyz material is sent to the graveyard"? Since that would (I assume it would at least) allow them to trigger both when detached as a cost or by another effect, and I think also when the Xyz it's attached to is destroyed.

[Calvin Chase]

I'm pretty sure that would work, but then the effects would also activate if the monsters were destroyed, tributed, discarded, milled, etc.

[AcediaJC]

Not just "When sent to the graveyard" though, I meant "when sent to the graveyard as an xyz material" which I think would only cover being detached as a cost, detached by another card's effect, or when the Xyz monster they're attached to is destroyed. At least that's the intention :P

[AcediaJC]

All three archetypes are now fully complete! Hooray!

[XxDarkBrightxX]

This stuff is pure awesomeness. i actually have a notebook of ideas, just waiting to be turned in to cards, but my artistic skills are taking a dump on santa claus, or in other words, they suck. Also, even if i do manage to draw some, i would prefer to draw it on one of thost drawing pad thingys that connect to your computer or something.
