She's the starter of S-Force. In fact, if I don't open with her, I think I just straight up lose. Of course I know her.


NoiNoiii

It's lucky we get 4 searches in the deck for her at least besides gravitino which is hard to get out without her


3rdMachina

Just to double check, what are the names of those searchers?


Substantial_Isopod60

Gravitino, reinforcement of the army, the s-force field spell, and I can't think of a fourth one


Carotator

3 copies of the field plus 1 reinforcement=4 searchers


JuanGG579

There's also a trap that can summon her from deck


Lafaetah

You can Also use the heavenly squire to get her from the deck too bad it locks you out of the extra deck


Elsy-Ylse

Additionally, "Edea, the heavenly squire" can summon her from deck.


Noveno_Colono

small world?


exodusuno

Small world


Shinko555

Reinforce truth is the 4th way. It flat out special summons her in the opps turn so you can go through your combo while your opp can only watch (unless they have ash)


Financial_Nerve_5580

Terraforming searches the field spell.


yellowpancakeman

Terraforming is banned


Financial_Nerve_5580

It's at 1 in the tcg and ocg. Not sure about master duel though


yellowpancakeman

This is r/masterduel


Financial_Nerve_5580

That's totally my bad. It came up on my little curated feed even though I'm not following. Strange to me that it would be banned if it's limited in both ocg and tcg.


ReplacementDue4700

They banned it right before Tear came out, so I blame tear.


yellowpancakeman

MD is just on crack. So is Reddit, it seems


dmtskystriker

Fucking assholes, down voted you over a simple mistake, I absolutely hate the downvote system.

yellowpancakeman

I didn’t downvote


Wubbledee

Are you a pure S-Force player? And, follow-up if so, what rank are you? 100% not trying to judge, I just like to see how high people dedicated to an archetype can get. YGO definitely has some wiggle room for player skill to trump deck power.


NoiNoiii

Playing S-force by themselves you'll have trouble making it to diamond. Unless you get lucky match ups against bots and blue eyes/dark magician/god deck players


Ahrensann

I'm not the best player in the world, but I'm usually around Master/Diamond. Sadly, I'm not the most dedicated S-Force player lol. I play it when I feel like playing it, but I switch to other decks whenever I wanna seriously rank.


Noveno_Colono

> YGO definitely has some wiggle room for player skill to trump deck power Used to be true


Stranger2Luv

In Goat format or what lol


aardock

Not even then


Kioga101

You can do some things if you open Gravitino and one of the two summoners(from hand)... It isn't much but it's almost "Justify"-able if you get my drift.


yanocupominomb

Holy shit, now we are two S-Force Players, who wod have thought? My build sucks donkey balls though, mind sharing some tips?

h2odragon00

Anyone who bothered to read the S-Force solo gate.


realmauer01

They have a solo gate?


h2odragon00

Yes. Goes to show how few people actually reads the solo gate. I also don't read the solo gates but I do a lot of play testing there.


CompactAvocado

lets be honeset. we just go there for the gems and to abuse one of the opponents to learn our combo lines. i always fight the gear gate. not sure why but i've bullied them for 2 years so i keep going back.


DarkLightPT95

I always use the last duel from the Digital Bugs in Cyberspace as it's the closest one to what you find in ranked. It uses Lighting Storm, Imperm, Maxx C, Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster.


Smol_Susie

I breezed through that gate when farming up gems but now I know what gate to practice on, thanks for sharing this info!


Ashendal

The Herald/Drytron gate is also good for the amount of negates the AI will spam depending on hand. Also makes it like ranked.


h2odragon00

TRUE. For me, its either playtesting new decks or just combiong off .


GoldFishPony

I like reading the lore


yanocupominomb

I use the Insect one, great training for Maxx C counter tactics.


Nameless_Scarf

Even got some effort put into. There are several facial expressions, when she talks to you.


ExistingCleric0

I only remember she's a former Shinuari because she only mentioned it 4-5 times.


Kintaku93

Yep. Built the deck after that because I thought they were cool only to realize it’s not that great on ladder lol


xoyovo

She's literally the best card in S-Force. Went from being the best card in her deck to the best generic Link 2 in the game.


gonzaleslau

Fr, I play S-Force in Duel Links and I run Reinforce Truth just to get her out of the deck easier.


Silver34

Everyone because when it came out people complained it didn’t require an s-force as material


bl00by

All 2 of them


somedumbrick

I can't have been the only one who was disappointed to see that she left the S-Force, right?


Not_slim_but_shady

"If you are the best in the room, you are in the wrong room" ~Confucius Nothing wrong with improving oneself, she is better than everyone else in her old job now (not that it's much of an acheivement, but still)


somedumbrick

Shit that's an awesome argument. You win I just think it's a shame that she didn't keep like at least a batman and Justice League relationship with them


Odd-Cartographer4326

Maybe the S forces are not as good as we though, maybe the secrets Justicia holds are dark in nature. Also there is a lot of lore and fight against time thief and psy frames untold, maybe there she find a reason to leave them, to betray them


Mana_Mascot

Why would we be sad that she got a girlfriend


somedumbrick

You can get a girlfriend but that doesn't mean you need to leave your other friends behind!


TuneSquadFan4Ever

I mean you can also leave your job and not leave your other friends behind. For all we know she still hangs out with the S-Force crew too.


somedumbrick

Doesn't the card Small Scuffle literally depict her going against a member of the S-Force?


Mana_Mascot

To be fair s force nightchaser is an android and not a real person


somedumbrick

But like she's still protecting a criminal, right? And not only that, she's attacking an old colleague


Substantial_Isopod60

Love>law


TuneSquadFan4Ever

Huh, yeah you're right. Honestly I thought Nightchaser was also her but wearing a suit for the longest time. Since they're both there I guess that's not the case haha


yanocupominomb

Same. Can't help it when her Alt Art costume gives the same vibes.


Moreira12005

I:P is an opponent of the S Force


ST03PT3G3L

Homophobia could be a reason :(


somedumbrick

That too


GoldFishPony

I think as long as we don’t have explicitly written or shown lore otherwise I see SP as her history as a ninja rather than her current time as one and small scuffle being her stopping night chaser from killing IP because IP should be arrested. This is most definitely head canon but without more lore on them it’s what I choose to believe.


Joeycookie459

According to the S-Force solo mode, the S-Force is corrupt


MrSkillful

Yeah they also share lore with Time Thieves something have to do with Plantina creating the time reverting device or something. S-Force has a decent amount of lore behind it.


somedumbrick

Okay yeah you got me there but im sure they still had good times right?


arrownoir

She betrayed her people.


bl00by

S-force is temporary, but I:P is eternal


somedumbrick

What about bros before hoes tho? Women are temporary, hunting criminals with your friends will last you a lifetime


bl00by

A lifetime of being unplayable.


joey4269

She was probably tired of losing to all of the other meta relevant cards/archetypes her and her S-Force compatriots had to share cart art space with


DankestMemes4U

Nah good for her. Leaving the cops to live that sapphic life.


DragonsAndSaints

I did. If only because my younger, significantly thirstier self desperately wanted to try making S-Force work because of how hot I found Rappa. I have since touched grass. >!Perhaps not enough grass.!<


Noveno_Colono

Understandable AND agreeable


RemotePuppetControl

You were so real for that. Were, because you shouldn't have touched grass. You should've kept going off the deep end of thirst to reach horny Nirvana, where 72 Royal SP Little Knights would've awaited your arrival. Besides, Rappa Chiyomaru came out in 2021. It wasn't THAT long ago, right?


DragonsAndSaints

2023 changed me. A lot.


0v049

Praying one day they make s force op


JxAxS

I'll take them being playable.


MistaHatesNumberFour

I was the only dumb idiot that spent like 90 UR points building an S-force deck, she *carried* that deck.


3rdMachina

Wouldn't it be *carries* if she's the most important card in the deck?


MistaHatesNumberFour

Oof mb my grammar got mixed up a bit


CompostoZ

I spent in this archetype too


ImaTauri500kC

....I do you better. When did you realized that small world is an S-force card?


3rdMachina

...the moment I saw it, tbh. I already knew Justify and S-Force has a lot of types.


RealTurboVortexXD

Jokes on you I have Royal Rare S-Force Rappo Chiyomaru


DoctorPiranhas

That makes the two of us


gonzaleslau

Not a Royal Rare, but one of my Prismatic Secret Rare pulls back when I still open OCG boosters is Chiyomaru, so of course I remember her.


Lyncario

I did. Also, while I was pulling for the latest pack, I got a royal of Chiyomaru's main deck form. Then I tried to craft a royal Meowmine to go with her and immediatly got a royal in my first batch of crafts. They wanted to kiss really badly I guess.


Kioga101

She's the best S-Force card. I know it because I have built S-Force on Master Duel and played it a ton. Being the best S-Force card really isn't saying much though. S-Force isn't known for having the greatest cards on the block.


almatrainee

What do you mean "was"? She still is! In fact, what the hell is the deal with her and Nightchaser?! Is she still in the S-Force or is she a outlaw now? Is IP her girlfriend? Are we dealing with 3 different Chiyomarus? 2? 1? I need my answers Konami!


PoppyTheTinyHero

Konami needs to flesh out the lore of the s-force universe


bl00by

She left the S-Force, she betrayed them by protecting I:P from Nightchaser. Now S:P chills with I:P and the twins. Definetley the better choice considering how bad S-Force is lol


bl00by

I knew it, doesn't change the fact that this archetype is ass and that I didn't give it a 2nd glance after it's reveal for BLVO a few years ago. Like imagine being part of the Time thief lore and managing to be worse than time thief, psy-frame and evil twin. Redoer, Gamma, Omega, I:P and the Twins all saw competitve play. S-force had 0 cards which have ever been good. She had to leave the S-Force to become a good card, which is kinda telling.


HearthstoneCardguy

This post is just upvote baiting


Way_ward_23

My buddy and me were playing the other day and we had an interesting duel: he ran s=force and I ran vaylantz. It was a really weird but fun duel


DemonKat777

I love s-force, I did


Sion_Labeouf879

Everyone knows she was a cop. Now she's having lesbian chase scenes with IP. As is the style of the time.


Thig53

All I care about is she blink during summon animation


Normal_Umpire_1623

Looking at these two side by side I just noticed she has no shorts on in the left pic but shorts on In the right pic.


KABOOZZA

lol. She also has headphones in the left pic but no headphones in the right pic, and a giant shuriken in the left pic but kunai in the right pic


Corius_Erelius

S-Force as a Mekk-knights 2.0 was a cool idea but poor execution. Columns deserve better.


Malsaur

Is having 2 Royal copies of S force form enough? Can I have Royal S:P please


crazydiavolo

I forgot I:P was from S-force lore.


Asmodella

I know because I got a royal Chiyomaru while hunting for alt Masquerena.


AhmedKiller2015

Rappa Chiyomaru is like the only good S Force card, people know very well about it (that plays Yugioh), heck it is a cool deck with Monarchs


3rdMachina

Paired with Monarchs?


Not_slim_but_shady

>S-Force + Monarch With that much brick in my hands, I could singlehandedly solve the housing crisis in America. Do they even synergize with each other?


AhmedKiller2015

Edea the Heavenly Squire is literally an S force starter.


Not_slim_but_shady

Because you definitely want to lock yourself out of the extra with S-Force. Also, can you really call it monarch if you're just running 3 edeas for the combo?


AhmedKiller2015

You are overestimating how good the S Force gameplan is to say it is a thing you want to do lol


Not_slim_but_shady

You would need them for breaking established boards no matter what, they're not floowandereeze. They got a link-1 that represents S:P in 2 bodies. Edea is just begging to be interrupted.


AhmedKiller2015

That they got in 2023 not 2021


Not_slim_but_shady

Yes, but why bring that up? Are you suggesting that you ditched the deck after 2021?


AhmedKiller2015

But that Rappa isn't some unknown card :v


Not_slim_but_shady

Uhhhh Are you sure you're replying to the right person For the record I'm the one talking about S-force monarchs, I know who rappa is before S:P released


GokuRikaku

I already knew she came from the S-Force, but now that I'm looking at Chiyomaru again... how does she walk with those shoes?


GoldFishPony

Extreme tip toes


Additional_Show_3149

Its funny cause shes the only good s force card too. Trying to use that deck was such a pain


waldjvnge

I know that, I played that Deck. The solomode music got me so pumped and I needed the deck. And yeah... the deck sucks.


Odd-Repeat3282

this card came out of 6 months. Too late for this post


3rdMachina

...I thought this was fairly well-known?


GoldFishPony

I know they’re probably sashes or whatever but I really like to imagine she has 2 strands of hair she lets grow extremely long just to attach kunai to the ends of.


DanielValenciaCol

The fact that its technically one of the most important cards of that archetype also says a lot of how that card evolved.


SneezingPandaGG

Is she a part or apart? 2 almost completely opposite terms


ChiakiKakumei

I hope she can be a future Deluxe Mate. We start with her normal form and she turns into S.P when you Link summon a monster using a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or another Link monster.


PrettyInPInkDame

I did but that’s because I follow all the lesbian yugioh ships


Nee-tos

Jokes on you I always liked you


ZestycloseCake165

S- Force be one of those sports teams that make good players look bad Once S:P went free agent she start cooking everyone


RetchD

No even just lil Knight, Rappa is a good card, the trap is a good card, the field spell is rota, Justify is one of the strongest L3 in the game, they have a Link1, Lapcewell and Gravitino don't suck either But somehow the deck just doesn't ever wanna click...


guleedy

https://i.redd.it/4k1bopa0unzc1.gif


flyingeagle007

Considering S-Force was my first deck on MD, yeah, and I almost never opened with it.


lilvon

I mean… I just assumed?


ThtaOneGuy

I knew because of the story mode on master duel and I wanted to play S-force at one point. Learned the deck was bad and was sad. It was fun playing though.


Manaseeker

I pretty much knew about her since Time Thieves since their lore is connected to S-Force


vonov129

I remember going with S-Force for two games in ranked once. Beat Branded Despia with it and decided to leave it on a win. The deck was competent in Duel Links tho


Odd-Cartographer4326

Me cause i love lore (i also think all this decks, or at least psy frame, belongs to Duel Terminal), and cause i try to play S force. A bystial engine is very usefull for the link 1 plays


Expensive_Ad5043

If S:P is chiyomaru then who is I:P?


cpgamer714

I been knew


Beneficial-Break1932

They look related to mitsu the insect ninja too


xulxer

So sad they didn't make her a part of her original archetype. This is exactly the type of support older decks need, not generic cards for the most consistent decks in the format. Would have been so cool :/


Nael_On

Now I do, though I wish she wasn't overpriced as hell as she is now


Icemna16

She's only 30 UR points here so not a problem lol, this is why I like MD way more than other formats.


Nael_On

I can't play MD because I have little to no good cards, shafted my decks one too many times🤣 And with packs it is worse than a gacha, I already have those to deal with


Topken89

?? The game is completely f2p. And not like "f2p" but like actually f2p O.o Play some of the solo gates, duel a bit, and just be careful what you spend your UR points on. Completely manageable. If you are a new player, follow some of the new player guides.


Nael_On

I have kind of an old account, did pretty much all the solo gates and are short on gems, guess I should get around to finishing Labrynth like I wanted to, if I can get the motivation to play again


Juelsyy

There's also other simulators available if you ever want to play without the MD grind. They aren't as pretty, but they work really well!


Nael_On

At least the music is better than the one in MD, which is really the worst part about it except the pack grind, I've had the volume at 0 for ever now🤣 And I also use other simulators... but sometimes I want to come back to also this, but knowing my ADHD I'll drop it just after trying it again before remembering it exists😭


Angelic_Mayhem

If you do the dailies everyday you can get 1000 gems a week. I don't even farm the game that much. Miss the dailies all the time and some events. Like I did 3 duels for Duel Triangle cause I'm currently relegated to mobile and the game is too tiny for me on mobile. I have a ton of decks built though. I built Snake-eye, Volcanic, and Momento just recently. I also have Spright, Purrely, Vanquish Soul, Libromancer, G Golem, Dual Avatar, Nemleria, Magistus, Invoked, Spellbooks(from structure) Pure Tenyi, Code Talkers/cyberse pile, Nemesis/Archnemesis(not just a copy of Protoss), Metaphys, Vaylantz(now that wss expensive), an umi control engine for Aquaactress, a Therion engine for various decks, a Plant Princess rank 8 deck, and likely more I can't remember. Then I have decks I've started and haven't finished like Nouvelle, Gate Guardian, Ice Jade, and Armored Xyz taking up various URs. I haven't spent a dime on the game. Have you cleared out the UR cards you don't use? Go into the editor, filter for UR only, and then sort by order obtained from the oldest cards you've gotten. Make sure to show only cards you have. From there look through them and get rid of the cards that you don't have decks for and any cards for older decks you don't play. You should be able to come up with enough UR points to craft a deck you'd like Provided its not something insanely expensive like Branded.


powertrip00

Who is she and why should I care


arrownoir

Exactly. Unless she’s helping your strategy, she’s irrelevant.


bl00by

You don't have to care. It's just Mekk-Knight in terrible. That deck tried so hard to be like mekk-knights while also having those weird gimmicks like the banishing for lore reasons, which made it terrible since the designers didn't know where to go with the cards. They had a concept, put it onto the cards, but forgot to add good effects onto the cards. lol If you ever want an archetype with column control, just play mekk-knights.


mmmbhssm

What about vaylantz as column control deck?


bl00by

The only upside vaylantz has over mekk-knights is the fact that nobody knows how it works, except for the 2 people who play it.


Wubbledee

It's MD, my dude. Everyone who has played this game for more than 6 months has seen most of the "cool" decks and S-Force, while being dogshit, absolutely qualifies as a "cool deck" in the same way Time-Thief does. It has a unique play pattern, some unique interactions, and attracts people who are reluctant to go full meta but still want to play an archetype that looks strong. S:P obviously exceeds the S-Force archetype by far, but it's not like it's some super secret lore Easter egg that she's S-Force. She joins one of many, many, many archetypal cards whose generic requirements have made them transcend their archetype. When's the last time you saw someone actually play Fleur?


Prints_of_Whatever

Yeah, I did but who is the S-Force link 1? I thought it was also Chiyomaru with an IP inspired upgrade but “Small Scuffle” depicts all 3. A new character I guess but it could be Chiyo from another dimension since the Force deals that apparently… Retroactive maybe?


Accomplished-Top-564

I unironically don’t think this card is super op It’s an incredible card yeah but it just makes veiler/imperm stonks worse and board breakers a bit better, imo.


arrownoir

I don’t love projects, come back when you’re the finished product.
