Pros

  • Strong ATK stats.
  • Able to add another “Change” Quick-Play Spell card from your Deck to your Hand, when this monster destroys opponent’s monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard.

Cons

  • Cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.
  • Direct attack causes its battle damage to be halved.
    Weak DEF stats.

Tips

  • Important to note that Mask Change cannot be used during Damage Step.
  • If your targeted HERO monster leaves your Field due to other card’s effects, when Mask Change was activated, you may not Special Summon Masked HERO Anki. Possible scenarios include Enemy Controller chained to your Mask Change, in order to take control of your targeted HERO monster.
  • You can use Mask Change on your Masked HERO Anki during your battle phase, to Special Summon another Masked HERO Anki, for possible OTK.

Anki OTK

(This OTK is only possible because of a bug that doesn't half Anki's attack when he attacks directly with his effect and Titan Showdown is active.)
Use Cosmic Cyclone to banish a spell/trap card and reduce your LP to make Titan Showdown active, then used masked change to special summon Masked HERO - Anki. Anki is able to attack your opponent directly and because of Titan Showdown he will deal 5600 damage. If your opponent does not control any spell/trap card for you to use Cosmic Cyclone on, you can turn on self-chain. First activate Masked Change on your HERO and then use Cosmic Cyclone on Masked Change, you will still be able to summon Anki with your LP reduced for Titan Showdown.

Essential Card

This Quick-Play Spell card is the only card that can Special Summon Masked HERO Anki currently. It can also be searched via Masked HERO Anki’s effect.

Destiny HERO Support

The main reason of using Masked HERO Anki together with Destiny HERO monsters is because all Destiny Hero monsters are DARK attribute, regardless of face-up or face-down, therefore Mask Change can be easily applied to them. Destiny HERO decks have incredible drawing mechanism which makes Masked HERO Anki a powerful addition to their deck. Recommended Destiny HERO - Drilldark because it is able to Special Summon another “Destiny HERO” monster from your Hand, with ATK equal or less than Destiny HERO - Drilldark. This grants you more options to use Mask Change on, and you can also choose to use Mask Change during your Battle Phase, after you have attacked with Destiny HERO - Drilldark, to Special Summon Masked HERO Anki for additional attacks. Destiny HERO - Dreamer is able to protect your HERO monster from being destroyed by battle, while being special summoned to the Field, it can also act as a fodder for you to apply Mask Change on it to Special Summon Masked HERO Anki. Destiny HERO - Celestial mainly is used to be banished together with another Destiny HERO monster from your Graveyard in order to draw more cards, and if it attacks, it can destroy 1 face-up Spell card your opponent controls. D-Spirit allows you to Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower Destiny HERO monster from your hand, provided you do not control another Destiny HERO on the Field.

Forbidden Chalice

If you attack your opponent directly and activate Forbidden Chalice during the damage step to target Anki, you will deal 3200 points of direct damage instead of just 1400.

Why do I always feel that when you really, really want a specific card its always at the bottom of a box? To make matters worse, its usually at the bottom of a main box...

If you use De-fusion you cannot special summon the fusion material, anki goes back to the extra deck instead.

Because Anki is a Fusion monster but does not actually have any Fusion Materials.

So the Vegabond Special Summoned this card using Mask Change, and I Massivemorphed the card so he could not attack me directly. Yet, he was able to attack me directly with the double Attack Points. Is this a bug or am I not understanding something about this card?

If you activated it during damage step then it's not a bug. It's your misplay

Use it before the dmg step.

No bug.

Can i negate Anki with chalice after he destroys a monster?

No. You can't activate ATK/DEF altering cards during or after Damage Calculation (unless they say otherwise). There's no way to use it at a time where the ATK boost isn't going to be relevant.

in fact, you can. ATK/DEF altering card is the only card can be activated at damage step, so does a card that stated "activate at damage step".

They can only be used up until a certain point in the Damage Step (before Damage Calculation, which I already stated). After that, it's only Counter Traps and Quick Effects that negate activations. (And cards that say otherwise.)

Chalice can prevent anki from attacking directly if you do it before the dmg step.

Chalice can also stop anki from getting a mask from destroying a monster.

Wow, I thought this was a bug that someone exploited on me... But I just tried it with Submarineroid and it works. You just have to make sure toggle is on and it has to be the damage step not the "declared battle" step or the "battle" step.

Also if you want to be super 🔥ous, use titan showdown (make sure ur lp is half or less of your opponent's) and he will deal 5600 damage /w a direct attack, but this interaction or the whole skill is prolly gonna get nerfed
Anon
What i don't get is that I just watched a video by Duel Links Meta and he attacked directly with this guy for double damage without playing anything to double his attack? Is it a bug?
