If this card will make a direct attack, even if the opponent got higher ATK monsters, and I activate Rising Energy through damage step, will it still go through direct attack?
That's a good question. It would have helped if the cardmakers clarified it in the text as "original ATK of this card". Then we would know beforehand if attack increases stop it's effect from activating. I guess it's time for me to experiment.
Ha, ha. It would be nice if it could be better. I used to use a deck with these and amethyst cats and submarineroids. It was mostly only a troll deck that could surprise people back when I was in gold. Cyber Tutu is bad because your opponent will get wise and always leave a monster in defense position so she can't work. It is even easier to do this with furhire. If lp is at 5000, it is harder.
Increasing damage during damage step don't stop the attack. So yes, increasing Cyber tutu this way work.
Leaving a monster in def position don't work, as the ATK count, not its position. But I don't know how set monster work(likely they count as '0 atk' ones.
You can easily test those things against LDs.
I meant to say that it stopped working if the monsters were set facedown, and that is usually what people ended up doing to me in pvp to stop her. She is not good for furhires since they have recon and donpa, and beat a lot and are swarming the board a lot and if your deck has only direct attack monsters, it is hard to clear the weaker furhires with just s/t thanks to wiz.
Another problem is that if you have a bunch of stuff to juice her up for the damage step, then you have less cards to protect her and if you don't get what you need all the time, it is hard. With 4000 lp back and better cards, I do want to revisit this deck idea, but I want to try to get powerful rebirth for her and the others.
Oh, and now there is also Monster Reborn Reborn. So maybe it can be good. I want to try it again because it was so much fun when I did get wins with it.
