Card Tips:Lava Golem
Revision as of 22:44, 20 May 2012 by Billybennai (talk)
- Once you Special Summon this card to your opponent's field, activate "Nightmare Wheel" on this card, which will inflict an extra 500 points of damage to your opponent and prevent him/her from attacking with this card.
- You can also opt to activate "Dark Room of Nightmare" alongside or without "Nightmare Wheel" for a potential total of 2100 damage per turn.
- Combine this card with restriction cards ("Spellbinding Circle", "Nightmare Wheel", etc.) and "Misfortune" to deal heavy burn damage.
- Note that you cannot drop this on top of "Archlord Kristya", "Vanity's Ruler", etc. because you can't Tribute them if you aren't able to Special Summon.
- After you Summon this card on your opponent's side of the field, you can use "Smashing Ground" or "Fissure" to destroy it, as your opponent's field will likely be empty by the time this card is Summoned.
- Having several copies of "Darkworld Shackles" in your Deck will do wonders. Not only will they drop this card's attack and defense to a mere 100, thereby eliminating the threat of an attack, its controller will take 500 damage during each of your Standby Phases.
- This card is useful for removing monsters that are resistant to other forms of removal, such as "Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En", "Jinzo", "Stardust Dragon", "Marshmallon", or "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes".
- "Magic Cylinder", "Mask of the Accursed", and "Nightmare Wheel" can be used to prevent attacks from "Lava Golem" and inflict further damage.
- "Mask of Restrict" can be used to prevent the opponent from Tributing "Lava Golem".
- "Copycat" can be used to give the player a 3000 ATK monster that "Lava Golem" can't suicide with.
- "Spellbinding Circle", "Level Limit - Area B" or "Gravity Bind" can be used to prevent it from attacking, without inflicting further damage.
- "Zoma the Spirit", "Reflect Bounder", and/or "Dimension Wall" can be used to inflict damage without necessarily preventing it from attacking or keeping it on the field.
- "Remove Brainwashing", "Enemy Controller", "Owner's Seal", "Dummy Golem" or "Rescue Warrior" can be used to take control of "Lava Golem".
- After attacking with "Lava Golem", "Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai", "Call of the Haunted" and another attack can be used to inflict a total of 9000 damage, potentially performing a One Turn Kill with four cards.
- "Skill Drain" can be used to protect the controller from the negative effect of "Lava Golem".
- "Lava Golem" can be equipped to "Destiny Hero - Plasma", "Relinquished" or "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" to clear the opponent's field and have a high ATK monster.
- "Guardian Sphinx", "Penguin Soldier", "Flip Flop Frog", "Begone, Knave!", "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole", "Ordeal of a Traveler" and "Herald of Creation" can be used to repeatedly return "Lava Golem" to the owner's hand for reuse.
- In the case of "Penguin Soldier", the player could also return "Penguin Solider" to their hand with its effect and reuse it.
- Use cards like "Swords of Revealing Light" or "Messenger of Peace" to stop your opponent from attacking for a few turns while this card deals damage to them.
- Even if the opponent activates "Royal Oppression", "Solemn Warning", "Bottomless Trap Hole" or "Solemn Judgment", they will still lose their 2 monsters.
- After you summon it to your opponent's side of the field, activate Curse of the Circle and target Lava Golem. Your opponent will now be unable to tribute it off, and unable to use it for a synchro summon (unlikely as it is level 8, but not impossible if your opponent uses level affecting cards like Harmonic Waves or Level Eater)
Traditional Format
- "Change of Heart" can be used to take control of "Lava Golem" for a Direct Attack, giving it back in time to burn your opponent.
- This card can be used with "Ring of Destruction" and "Barrel Behind the Door" to inflict 6000 damage. It can be done after "Lava Golem's" effect has been resolved once to inflict a total of 7000 damage.
