| Raiza the Storm Monarch (Raid Boss) | |||||||||||
Raiza the Storm Monarch is a Raid Boss in Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel. This is the monster form of "Raiza the Storm Monarch" when Summoned by the Raid Duelist, Psychic Tendo. This Raid is followed by "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch".
The 
Anti-Boss and 
Immunity: Bounce/Teleport Skills are recommended for this Raid.
Mechanics[edit]
Raiza always has a weak point exposed in the lane behind it. During each Boss Phase, Raiza will turn to face a random new lane, apply its own effects, attack directly (except on the first turn), and create any objects necessary. Then, Tendo will Summon 1 "Garum the Storm Vassal" to the lane behind Raiza, and prepare 1 of the following Spells/Traps to play, if necessary:
- Hey, Trunade!
- Follow Wind (Medium difficulty and above only)
- Storming Mirror Force (Medium difficulty and above only)
- The Monarchs Stormforth (Hard difficulty only)
Raiza's attacks will inflict 1000 damage on Easy difficulty and 1500 damage on Medium or Hard difficulty. Tendo will not prepare Spells/Traps at Level 4 or below, and will not prepare the same Spell/Trap twice in a row (on Easy difficulty, he may skip preparing a Spell/Trap).
Raiza has the following effect, depending on the difficulty:
| Difficulty | Effect |
|---|---|
| Easy (Levels 1-5) |
<In the Boss Phase> Gain an effect if the corresponding object is on the field. ["Black Wind Crystal": Boss attacks this turn deal 500 extra damage.] |
| Medium (Levels 6-15) |
<In the Boss Phase> Gain an effect if the corresponding object is on the field. ["Black Wind Crystal": Boss attacks this turn deal 500 extra damage.] ["White Wind Crystal": A shield with 2 hit points appears in one direction.] |
| Hard (Levels 16-25) |
<In the Boss Phase> Gain an effect if the corresponding object is on the field. ["Black Wind Crystal": Boss attacks this turn deal 1000 extra damage.] ["White Wind Crystal": A shield with 2 hit points appears in one direction.] |
Raiza is stunned at the start of the Boss Phase until the start of the next turn after a certain amount of damage is dealt to it, increasing depending on the Raid Boss's Level. Any active objects, shields and Raid Monsters will be destroyed when the Raid Boss is stunned. While stunned, Raiza will not attack, prepare cards, Summon monsters, or create objects, and will have exposed weak points in all 4 lanes.
Objects[edit]
During the first turn, Raiza will create 1 Black Wind Crystal, and on Medium or Hard difficulty, Raiza will additionally create 1 White Wind Crystal.
