Turn 2: Playmaker
As a Cyberse Link Monster battled, Playmaker activates the effect of "Multi Sledgehammer", giving it a Hammer Counter ("Multi Sledgehammer": 0 → 1 Hammer Counter). As it was co-linked to two monsters, Playmaker activates the effect of "Binary Sorceress" to halve the ATK of a monster he controls, then increasing the ATK of another monster he controls by the same value until the End Phase. He halves the ATK of "Binary Sorceress" and increases the ATK of "Binary Blader" ("Binary Sorceress": 1600 → 800 ATK, "Binary Blader": 1800 → 2600 ATK). "Binary Blader" attacks "Sunvine Gardna". As "Binary Blader" battled, Playmaker activates its effect, making the opponent's monster unable to be destroyed by that battle, also it can make a second attack. Spectre activates the effect of "Gardna" to reduce the battle damage he would take by 800 times the Link Rating of a "Sunavalon" Link Monster that points to it, in this case, one. The attack continues, but "Gardna" is not destroyed (Spectre: 4000 → 2800 LP). As a monster co-linked to "Binary Sorceress" inflicted battle damage, Playmaker activates its effect, gaining LP equal to the damage dealt (Playmaker: 4000 → 5200 LP) and as a Cyberse Link Monster battled, Playmaker activates the effect of "Multi Sledgehammer" ("Multi Sledgehammer": 1 → 2 Hammer Counter). As Spectre took battle damage, he activates his face-down Continuous Trap Card "Sunavalon Glorious Growth", Special Summoning a "Sunvine Token" (0/0), then letting him Link Summon a "Sunavalon" Link Monster, then Spectre gains LP equal to the damage taken. Spectre sets the "Sunvine Token", "Gardna" and "Sunavalon Dryas" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Sunavalon Dryanome" (0/↙↓↘) to the Extra Monster Zone, and gains 1200 LP (Spectre: 2800 → 4000 LP).

As Spectre took battle damage, he activates the effect of "Dryanome", which allows him to Special Summon a "Sunvine" Link Monster from his Extra Deck to a zone it points to, then he gains LP equal to the damage he took. Spectre Special Summons "Sunvine Gardna" (600/↑) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Dryanome" points to, and gains LP (Spectre: 1400 → 4000 LP).

As Playmaker's monster attacked directly, Spectre activates the effect of "Glorious Growth" to negate the attack then redirect that attack to a "Sunvine" monster he controls. He redirects the attack to "Gardna", with the effect of "Gardna" reducing the battle damage he would take by 800 times the Link Rating of a "Sunavalon" Link Monster that points to it, in this case, three.
