Understanding Modern HERO Strategies:
* Neos Fusion: This is the core of modern HERO decks. You aim to summon "Elemental HERO Neos" with its powerful effects and ability to Fusion Summon.
* HERO Fusion Spells: "Miracle Fusion", "Polymerization", "Fusion Destiny" are your bread and butter for summoning Neos and other Fusion Monsters.
* "Elemental HERO Stratos" and "Elemental HERO Shadow Mist": These two are essential for getting Fusion spells into your hand.
* "Destiny HERO - Plasma" and "Elemental HERO The Shining": These two offer great options for attacking and getting back cards.
Deckbuilding Tips:
1. The Neos Engine:
* "Elemental HERO Neos" x3: The star of the show.
* "Elemental HERO Stratos" x3: Critical for card advantage and searching Fusion spells.
* "Elemental HERO Shadow Mist" x3: Another key card for getting Fusion spells and drawing cards.
* "Miracle Fusion" x3: Your main Fusion spell for summoning Neos.
* "Fusion Destiny" x2-3: Powerful for searching and summoning Fusion Monsters.
* "Polymerization" x1-2: Backup for Fusion Summoning.
2. Fusion Monsters (Choose a Focus):
