Evaluation

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

Is there any reason why this wouldn't activate after getting hit by crowlers machines??because it fkn didn't

Because his monsters doesn't allow you to activate any cards until the end of damage step. Apple's activation is during damage step.

Try not to use INTERDIMENSIONAL MATTER TRANSPORTER or DIMENSIONHOLE on your Malus Token or else you will loose it.

When tokens removed from the field or flipped face down, it disappear.

^ first statement correct, second statement not really, token cannot be flipped face down, so any effect that flip monster face down does not affect token, and cannot target by such card effect (example book of moon)...

Why I can´t use Trap Jammer against those ugly apples??

<< Anonymous(Doom)

trap jammer is during the battle phase. golden apple is after battle. such a card like mirror wall can activate before the battle phase to stop monsters like mirage dragon from ensuring your mirror wall does not activate during the battle.

You can use Reinforcements on the attacking monster to give your Malus Token a permanent 500 point boost

This would be so good with Joey's "Grit" skill. Let them pummel you then swing back for a comeback win.

At the start of every one of your turns, you get a random chance of your life points not going below 1 until your next turn. The chance is very low however.

Curio

Can you get more than 1 golden apple card in Duel Links??

Holy mother of glitches! I had a golden apples lose all its attack down to 0 for no reason. Anyone ever run into this ?

So first I used a golden apple in response to a Mako deck's Umi-boosted Hammer Shark, therefore 1700+200 = 1900 stats. On a later turn he used Riryoku to halve my attack (for one turn), and I used Etaqua to put his monsters in defense. When the turn ended... instead of returning my attack back to full, it went to 0 ! Bizarre !

I clicked too fast through the end to save the log (which I wish I did), but wowowow weird.

It's not a bug per-se, at least not on GoldenApple's token. It's the effect of riryoku which returns the victim's attack to its original value, which for the token's case is unfortunately 0.

I use this card this des counter blow
one of my favorite combos

Guy

Wont activate sometimes when i take a direct attack and i have no monsters wtf

was mirage dragon on the field?

Glitch with malus token and Shield & Sword? Token's atk and def went to 0...

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

It's not a glitch that atk/def is grant value. So the original atk/def is basically 0. And I believe it'll stay at 0 for the rest of your game too because those atk/def is set once only. You change it and it'll return to real original (0)

Duelist noob

Do you gain lp. Of all attacks at the same time

<< Anonymous(Duelist noob)

You activate it immediately after being hit by the attack. So it recovers the damage from that attack
