"Fire Fist", known as "Flame Star" (炎（えん）星（せい） Ensei) in the OCG is an archetype of FIRE Beast-Warrior-Type monsters first introduced in the as Magazine Promotional Cards but from different magazines, and later expanded in Cosmo Blazer. Every "Fire Fist", except "Houshin", "Choraio" and "Chouten" are named after the 108 heroes of Water Margin, the "108 Stars of Destiny", but only 36 "Heavenly Spirits" seem more important than the 72 "Earthly Fiends"; But "Houshin", "Choraio" and "Chouten" are characters from the novel, while the "Flaming Dance" Spell/Trap Cards are named after celestials.

Each "Fire Fist" monster has a sort of flame beast. Except "Fire Fist Master - Choten", which is already a flame.

Playing Style

The first three "Fire Fist" monsters focus on Summoning Level 3 FIRE monsters, though they also have drawbacks. Their effects also indirectly support each other, making their respective Summons easier.

The monsters introduced in Cosmo Blazer have swarming effects initiated by sending "Flaming Dance" Spell/Trap Cards to the Graveyard.

Recommended cards

Rank 4 Xyz

One of the most effective ways to play with a Fire Fist Deck is using the Level 4 "Fire Fist" monsters and the "Flaming Dance" Spells to Xyz Summon Rank 4 monsters. Using "Flaming Dance - "Tenki"" to search for monsters such as "Brave Fire Fist - Ensho" or "Dark Fire Fist - Yushi", you can use them to destroy one of your opponent's cards, depending on which monster you added to your hand. Then, if "Flaming Dance - "Tensu"" is in your hand with another Level 4 Beast-Warrior, use them to Xyz Summon a Rank 4. Another method can be through "Enthusiastic Beast Wolfberk" when any of the "Flaming Dance" Spells are available. Because the main focus of this version of the deck is focused on Rank 4 Xyz Monsters, Level 3 monsters are not necessary, though in emergency cases, "Agile Fire Fist - Seiven" is probably the only Level 3 "Fire Fist" monster necessary. Other support can include staples, "Flaming Dance" Traps for supporting Beast-Warriors, "Reborn Tengu" for more Xyz Materials, "Majestic Fire Fist - Snarin" for some draw power, and "Minute Fire Fist - Ryushishin" for Special Summoning "Fire Fists" like "Ensho" and "Yushi" to help destroy one of your opponent's cards.

Trivia

• This archetype is similar to the "Prophecy" archetype due to their reliance on an archetype of Spell and Trap cards. The Prophecy archetype relies on the "Spellbook" archetype, while the "Fire Fist" archetype relies on the "Flaming Dance" archetype of Spell and Traps.

• As seen in the artworks, every "Fire Fist" monster has a flame which represents a monster/animal form, except "Choten" who is a flame and doesn't have any monster/animal form.

• Most "Fire Fist" monsters have a counterpart monster in the archetype with the same Level, ATK value and flame color. They can be seen together in the "Flaming Dance" cards.
