[[File:Varis VS Lightning.png|left|thumb|220x220px|]]
This Duel is conducted as a [[Master Duel]].
'''<u>Turn 1: Lightning</u>'''<br />
[[Lightning]] [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Armatos Legio Gladius]]" (0/800) and activates its effect: when it is Normal Summoned, Lightning can add "[[Armatos Colosseum]]" from his [[Deck]] to his hand. Lightning activates the [[Field Spell]] "Armatos Colosseum" and activates its effect: when it is activated, Lightning can add 1 "[[Armatos Legio]]" monster from his Deck to his hand. He adds "[[Armatos Legio Speculata]]". Lightning sets "Gladius" (a [[Level]] 4 or lower "[[Armatos Legio]]" monster) in the [[Link Arrow]]s to [[Link Summon]] "[[Armatos Legio Decurion]]" (1000/↓) to the [[Extra Monster Zone]]. Lightning activates the second effect of "Armatos Colosseum", letting him send a Level 4 or lower "Armatos Legio" monster from his hand to the [[GY]], then target 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]]" from his hand to the GY, targets "Decurion", and [[Special Summon]]s "Gladius" to the [[Main Monster Zone]] the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Decurion" points to. Lightning sends "[[Armatos Legio Segmentata]]" from his hand to his GY to Special Summon "Armatos Legio Speculata" (0/1800) in Defense Position from his hand by its own effect. Lightning sets "Gladius" and "Speculata" (2 "Armatos Legio" monsters) in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "[[Armatos Legio Centurion]]" (1700/←→) to the Main Monster Zone the bottom-center Link Arrow of "Decurion" points to. Lightning then sets "Decurion" and the Link-2 "Centurion" (2 or more "Armatos Legio" Link Monsters) in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "[[Armatos Legio Plumbum Trident]]" (1100/↖↑↗) to the Extra Monster Zone. While it is in the Extra Monster Zone, the [[ATK]] of "Plumbum Trident" are doubled, due to its own effect ("Plumbum Trident": 1100→2200 ATK). Lightning sets a card.
'''<u>Turn 2: Varis</u>'''<br />
[[Varis]] activates the Field Spell "[[Boot Sector Launch (later anime)|Boot Sector Launch]]", and then activates its effect, allowing him to Special Summon up to 2 "[[Rokket]]" monsters with different names from his hand in Defense Position. He Special Summons "[[Anesthrokket Dragon (anime)|Anesthrokket Dragon]]" (0/2200) and "[[Magnarokket Dragon (anime)|Magnarokket Dragon]]" (1800/1200), both in Defense Position. Due to the effect of "Boot Sector Launch", all "Rokket" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK/[[DEF]] ("Anesthrokket": 0/2200→300/2500, "Magnarokket": 1800/1200→2100/1500). Varis sets "Anesthrokket" and "Magnarokket" (2 "Rokket" monsters) in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "[[Booster Dragon (anime)|Booster Dragon]]" (1900/↙↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Since his opponent controls a Link Monster, Varis Special Summons "[[Gateway Dragon (anime)|Gateway Dragon]]" (1600/1400) from his hand in Attack Position by its own effect. Varis activates "[[Cross Linkage Hack]]", which allows him to draw 2 cards so long as a non-Link Monster he controls is [[Linked]] with a Link Monster he controls and a Link Monster his opponent controls. Varis activates the effect of "Gateway Dragon", allowing him to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower [[DARK]] [[Dragon]] monster from his hand. Varis Special Summons "[[Autorokket Dragon (anime)|Autorokket Dragon]]" (1600/1000 → 1900/1300) in Attack Position. Lightning activates the [[Continuous Trap]] "[[Armatos Gloria]]"; while it is face-up on the field, other cards on the field cannot be [[destroy]]ed by card effects, and neither player can [[banish]] cards on the field. Varis sets "Gateway Dragon", "Autorokket Dragon", and the Link-2 "Booster Dragon" (3 or more [[Effect Monsters]]) in the Link Arrows to Link Summon "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]" (3000/←↙↘→) to the Extra Monster Zone.
