Using Winged Dragon Of Ra Ability Without Paying LP?!?!

[󠀡]

How are people using his ability that says "Pay 1000 LP, Target a monster; Destroy that target." without paying life points?!

They reduce the LP to 100 and put the attack of WDOR to 3900 and then kill 3 monsters! WTF?!

This game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken.

My reading comprehnsion is flawless.

Now stop raging.

"Activate A Card. You can only use it ONCE."

Not "You can use it as many times as you want in a turn and it lasts until the end of the turn."

SOrry if I missed something, but the lp one is for all cards until opponents next turn, and Ras effect doesnt say its limited to one time per turn. I'm unsure what the actual problem is? Are we arguing whether its broken as in op or as in bugged?

Then you might need to review your lessons on the use of articles in English.
Long story short, "a" does not mean "one" in that sentence.

Ra is crap, summonng him is hard and the life points cost to give him attack and defense is garbage as well. This Life Cost 0 is NOT broken, burning decks all over the place at this moment can defeat this pretty easy. Better than Ra, is more effective to use Life Cost 0 with Cyber-Stein to summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and/or Arkana.

If I said "Here is a key. You can open a room with this key. You can only use the key once. It will only last for 15 minutes."

Does that mean I gave you 1 key or infinite keys?

Does that mean you can open 1 room or all of the rooms?

Does that mean that you can open every room in 15 minutes or that you can open a room and you have 15 minutes to use the key?

Because in English. This would mean you can open 1 room and you only have 15 minutes until you can no longer use the key. It DOESN'T mean you have 15 minutes to open every room. It, also, could mean that there is one room that the key opens and you have 15 minutes to use it.

Dude read up the game mechanics.
Once Life cost 0 is used, it lasts till the end of your opponents next turn, meaning you can use effects without paying LP cost as many times as you want till then.

That`s broken af.

if you think it's broken then use it, let's see if you can get to KOG with it
you're also probably the type of guy that said riryoku is broken

There are a lot of broken cards, combos, and skills in this game. That's why there are regulations that should be followed and cards get banned.

Just because something is created or is in the game doesn't mean it should be or should work the way it does.

*laugh in hazy flame
well you are the only one who complains about how OP it is
git gud dude.
Dont blame your loss to the game. If it's so imbalance why I havent seen any that deck on high tier ranked match?

first of all, there is only 1 ra atm and you have 19 other cards in your deck (minimum) do you know how hard it is to draw a single ra?

after that you need 3 tribute for it, so let say that you opened up with ra disciple and ra in your hand. turn 1 you summon ra disciple and end your turn (assuming you don't have double summon) and in your opponent turn they play tribute of the doomed or exiled force or anything that destroy your disciple, now you only have 2 monster on the field, basically you're screwed because ra needs 3

even if you summon ra it dies to everything, it doesn't negate any effect, spells or traps. And the only thing it can destroy are monsters, he can't even destroy spells and traps

This game teaches reading comprehension quite well. You gotta pay attention to every word and take it literally. I lost count how many times I had to explain cards to my friends back in highschool when the game came out. I will tell you what I told them:

Read the card word for word and do nothing but what it says.

If for instance "Change of Heart" doesn't say you can't tribute the stolen monster, then you may. In this case the SKILL itself (!) can only be triggered once, but it lasts until your opponent ends his next turn. Ra's own effect is what's tripping you up I think, seeing how it doesn't say "once per turn", hence why you can freely wipe out everything your opponent has.

The balance? Getting Ra any ATK requires paying LP, no way to get around that, because the ATK and DEF he gets is based on what you pay. You couldn't possible anounce your OTK anymore if you tried.

Also consider that your opponent is down to 100 LP. Trigger ANY burn effect before Ra wipes you out and he's dead. Hell, freaking "Sparks" (AKA the worst burn spell ever) can kill your opponent if you survive Ra's attack.

That skill only exist to make Ra even remotely viable. Without the Sphere Mode/Phoenix Mode card variants, Ra is pathetic for a level 10 monster, let alone a god card.

If you want *OP AF* you said, have a gander at Chaos Emperor Dragon. Imagine that beast in this format. Ra ain't got nothing on that.

[Beewo]

Omg that chaos emperor effect, who thought that was a good idea to create?

Comparing broken cards in a broken system doesn't change the fact that it's broken. It's not like I can carry every card for every situation and still have a viable deck. This game screws you over in so many ways it's ridiculous.

What makes you think I lose a lot? The times I lose is either because of over powered cards/skills, really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ draw, getting the same cards back from trading (Switcharoo, Magical Mallet, Card Trader), or rigged match making (only playing decks that counter mine.)

I've tested the match making too. I ONLY fight lava golem when I don't have Mystic Box in my deck. If I put it in, never see Lava Golem, if I take it out, PVP LAVA GOLEM DECK.
