Rating

8.5/10

Pros

Recovers damage received and summon a potentially strong monster

Cons

Only works if you take a direct attack while your LP is higher than the attack and when there are no monsters in your field.

Tips

Pair this with cards like Enchanted Javelin to ensure your survival
Field spell Yami will always make the token have higher attack than the attacking monster due to token monster type

You can’t activate it because you have already lost the duel at this point

Question. If you take 3,000 dmg (and you have 2,700) can the apples activate and you have 3,000 up or does the duel end?

This is the Trump card facing Shooting Star Dragon

Since his Max attack only 3300 attack

I never yet met one play Potg with Shooting

Golden apples? PotG? Really? In a format full of harpies and backrow removal? Just to counter an easily countered deck?
Good luck.
You will need it.

Okay OP, assuming you didn't get your set Golden Apples destroyed first, you now have 3300 ATK vanilla for free, but now what?

Ramming it into SSD will only result in the attack being negated, and who knows if the SSD player will only have SSD on his/her field or not.

Who said you need to put it on attack position bruh. Defense position with high defense always won me a duel thanks to high attack opponent trump card XD

Wow, you won you a duel thanks to this?

This reminds me a kid in a TCG tournament before many years. In a duel he used an anti-raigeki on a raigeki resulting to an unxpected win. He was so happy and proud. I am pretty sure this was the only time anti-raigeki actually helped him. Despite that, this experience was more than enough to convince him that his crappy anti-raigeki is a great card...

can you use a token that says "this card can be used as any token" to be used as a malus token

No. Tokens aren't normal monsters.

Yep it is a normal monster. So you can use cards like order to charge and survivals end to pop it.

Order to Charge can't Tribute Tokens. Though the fact it says so is proof enough that a Token is a Normal Monster anyway.

No, since you need to have 0 monsters, 3 of it would be a brick...

How does the CPU activate 2 golden apples on one attack, but I have tried 5 times and I can only activate just the one? I've tapped on both golden apples and it only activates one of them wtf is going on?

To expand on that very vague comment, if you go to Settings (in Duel) -> Under "Activation Confirmation" check "Toggle Button". After that, there will be a button in the bottom left corner of your duel screen at all times, and if you click it and set it to "On" you will be able to activate multiple Golden Apples.

Back when I first play DL, this card is still quite good. A few months later, nobody even remembered this card exist XD

It used to be amazing and helped me a lot. But now, you end up risking getting killed way too much for this card to work, or it just gets destroyed before you can use it.

this is basically better than the enchanted javelin xDD like 200% better, why is the enchanted javelin exist even ?

A. You have to take the attack directly, not against a monster.
B. You need enough life points to take the hit in the first place, or else you lose.

For actual power creep against Enchanting Javelin, see Draining Shield.

Can you use the golden apples trap card without the token

You can't choose to not Summon a Token if that's what you're asking. If it's not, then I'm VERY confused, since I'm pretty sure the only card we have that could prevent it is Calming Magic, a card I have NEVER seen used in Duel Links.

I don't even remember Calming Magic is already in DL, until I checked XD
