Once 3 or more "Resonance Counters" have been gained on a respective [[Pendulum Scale]], the player can proceed to [[Link Summon]] the theme's 2 boss monsters; "[[Divine Oddity of Valmonica - Zebufera]]" and "[[Odd Deity of Valmonica - Giurarme]]", a duo of stronger monsters limited merely through this condition to Summon them. ===Recommended cards=== {{Decklist|Recommended cards <!--This is not an exact Decklist.
