The Duel is conducted as a Master Duel.

Turn 1: Lightning
Lightning Normal Summons "Armatos Legio Gladius" (0/800). As "Gladius" was Normal Summoned this phase, Lightning activates its effect, adding "Armatos Colosseum" from his Deck to his hand, also his monsters cannot attack for the rest of this turn. He adds and subsequently activates the Field Spell "Armatos Colosseum", adding an "Armatos Legio" monster from his Deck to his hand. He adds "Armatos Legio Speculata". Lightning sets "Gladius" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Armatos Legio Decurion" (1000/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Lightning activates the effect of "Colosseum", sending a Level 4 or lower "Armatos Legio" monster from his hand to the GY, then targeting an "Armatos Legio" Link Monster he controls to Special Summon as many "Armatos Legio" monsters as possible with different names from each other and the monster sent to the GY to activate this effect in Defense Position to his zones that Link Monster points to. He sends the Level 1 "Armatos Legio Sica" and targets "Decurion" to Special Summon "Gladius" (0/800) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Decurion" points to. Lightning activates the effect of "Armatos Legio Speculata" in his hand, sending one other "Armatos Legio" monster from his hand to the GY to Special Summon "Speculata". He sends "Armatos Legio Scutum" to Special Summon "Speculata" (0/1800). Lightning sets "Gladius" and "Speculata" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Armatos Legio Centurion" (1700/←→) to the zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Decurion" points to. Lightning activates the effect of "Colosseum", sending a Level 4 or lower "Armatos Legio" monster from his hand to the GY, then targeting an "Armatos Legio" Link Monster he controls to Special Summon as many "Armatos Legio" monsters as possible with different names from each other and the monster sent to the GY to activate this effect in Defense Position to his zones that Link Monster points to. He sends an unknown monster and targets "Centurion" to Special Summon "Gladius" (0/800) and "Sica" (0/400) to the zones the middle-left and middle-right Link Arrows of "Centurion" points to respectively. Lightning sets "Gladius" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Decurion" (1000/↓) to the zone the middle-left Link Arrow of "Centurion" points to.

Lightning activates the Link Spell "Judgment Arrows" (↖↑↗) at the Spell & Trap Zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Decurion" points to. Lightning sets "Seeker" and "Centurion" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Armatos Legio Primi Ordines" (1800/↙↑) to the zone the top-right Link Arrow of "Judgment Arrows" points to. Lightning activates the effect of "Primi Ordines", targeting a Level 4 or lower "Armatos Legio" monster in his GY to Special Summon it. He targets and Special Summons the Level 2 "Gladius" (0/800). Lightning sets "Gladius" and "Decurion" at the top-center Link Arrow of "Judgment Arrows" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Armatos Legio ???" (2000/↑↘) to the zone the top-left Link Arrow of "Judgment Arrows" points to. As "???" was Link Summoned, Lightning activates its effect, banishing cards from his Deck, up to the number of co-linked monsters he controls, and on Lightning's next turn, he adds those cards to his hand. He banishes "???", "Armatos Legio Magica Alcum", and "Armatos Lex". Lightning activates the effect of "???", targeting a Level 4 or lower "Armatos Legio" monster in his GY to Special Summon it. He targets and Special Summons the Level 2 "Gladius" (0/800). Lightning sets "Gladius" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Decurion" (1000/↓) to the second Extra Monster Zone, creating an Extra Link.

Turn 2: Spectre
Spectre Normal Summons "Sunseed Genius Loci" (0/600). As Spectre controls a Plant Normal Monster, he Special Summons "Sunseed Shadow" (0/???) from his hand by its own effect. Spectre pays 800 LP to activate the Continuous Spell "Sunvine Plunder" (Spectre: 4000 → 3200 LP), targeting a face-up Spell on Lightning's field and taking control of it. He targets and takes control of "Judgment Arrows", placing it in his middle-most Spell & Trap Zone. Spectre sets "Genius Loci" and "Shadow" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "Sunavalon Daphne" (0/←→) to the zone the top-center Link Arrow of "Judgment Arrows" points to. As Spectre controls a "Sunavalon" monster, he sends a card from his hand to the GY to activate the Continuous Spell "Sunvine Shrine". He sends "Genius Loci". Spectre activates the effect of "Shrine", targeting a Level 4 or lower Plant Normal Monster in his GY to Special Summon it. He targets and Special Summons the Level 1 "Genius Loci" (0/600). Spectre sets "Genius Loci" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Sunvine Thrasher" (800/↓) to the zone the middle-right Link Arrow of "Daphne" points to. As "Thrasher" was Special Summoned, Spectre activates its effect, targeting a "Sunavalon" Link Monster that points to it and increasing its ATK equal to that monster's Link Rating times 800. He targets the Link-2 "Daphne" and increases the ATK of "Thrasher" by 1600 ("Thrasher": 800 → 2400 ATK). "Thrasher" attacks "Decurion". At the start of the Damage Step, as "Thrasher" is battling Lightning's monster, Spectre activates its effect, if Lightning's monster is destroyed by this battle and sent to the GY, Spectre Special Summons it to his zone his "Sunavalon" Link Monster points to. As a Link Monster "Judgement Arrows" points to is battling, its effect makes that monster's ATK become double its current ATK during damage calculation only ("Thrasher": 2400 → 4800 ATK). The effect of "Primi Ordines" reduces any battle damage Lightning would take by 1000 for every co-linked monster he controls. Lightning controls four co-linked monsters ("Primi Ordines", "???", and two copies of "Decurion"), so battle damage is reduced by 4000. The attack continues and "Decurion" is destroyed, then Spectre Special Summons "Decurion" (1000/↓) to the zone the middle-left Link Arrow of "Daphne" points to. Spectre's "Decurion" attacks Lightning's "Decurion". As a Link Monster "Judgement Arrows" points to is battling, its effect makes that monster's ATK become double its current ATK during damage calculation only ("Thrasher": 1000 → 2000 ATK). Lightning controls two co-linked monsters ("Primi Ordines" and "Decurion"), so the effect of "Primi Ordines" reduces battle damage by 2000. The attack continues and Lightning's "Decurion" is destroyed. Spectre activates the Continuous Spell "Sunvine Crossbreed", and activates its effect, Tributing a Link Monster he controls to Special Summon a Plant monster from his GY with its effects negated. He Tributes "Decurion" to Special Summon "Genius Loci" (0/600). Spectre sets "Genius Loci" in the Link Arrow to Link Summon "Sunavalon Dryas" (0/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone.
