Link-climbing with Hiita
It's your turn, you start setting up your board, and your opponent decides it's time for an Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. That sucks!
Fortunately, if you can manage to get 2 monsters on the board, you can recover, thanks to Hiita the Fire Charmer, Ablaze.
When to perform this pattern
Generally you only want to do this if you get interrupted in such a way that your usual combos can't be performed anymore.
If you can continue the combo, it might be worth continuing as-is in order to avoid over-extending, although having the extra material from Hiita does make things easier.
Requirements
- 2 monsters, at least 1 FIRE
- A FIRE monster in your opponent's GY
Steps
- Link Summon Hiita the Fire Charmer, Ablaze using 2 FIRE monsters.
- Activate Hiita's effect to Special Summon the FIRE monster in your opponent's GY to your side of the field.
- Link Summon Promethean Princess, Bestower of Flames using Hiita and the stolen monster.
- Activate Princess's effect to revive a FIRE monster from your GY.
- Link Summon Amphibious Swarmship Amblowhale using Princess and the revived monster.
Outcomes
You can still end on Amblowhale while getting interrupted by an Ash Blossom, although it does lead to a weaker endboard (no Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf recycling, no I:P Masquerena in the GY to revive later, potentially no Fire King Sanctuary if Ponix got negated).
About the other Charmers
You can do the same thing with Dharc the Dark Charmer, Gloomy, if your opponent has a DARK monster in their GY, and Ponix is on the field. You Link Summon Relinquished Anima using Ponix, before continuing the pattern.
Because there aren't too many DARK handtraps going around, this is usually something you get to do going second, against decks that play DARK monsters. Still, it's worth experimenting with Dharc to see if it's a good fit against the current meta.
Additionally, Lyna the Light Charmer, Lustrous could be a tech option to add to your Extra Deck when Nibiru, the Primal Being is very prevalent in the meta and there are a few LIGHT decks going around.
Both Nibiru itself and the token are LIGHT, meaning you're able to summon Lyna with it and any other monster, then perform the steps above.
In the same vein, other Link Charmers might be relevant as the metagame shifts. Be aware of their existence and see when it's possible to take advantage of them and make your deck more resilient.
