Destruction Sword " Destruction Sword " ( , " Hakaiken " ) is an archetype debuting in " Breakers of Shadow " . It is connected to the " Buster Blader " archetype . The archetype contains several cards related to the " Buster Blader " archetype , including a " Buster Blader " monster and the " Destruction Sword " series . The " Buster Destruction Sword " monsters in this archetype can be equip ped from your hand or side of the field to a " Buster Blader " monster you control . Each of these monsters ' Attribute is DARK and has both an ATK equal to 400 x its Level and a DEF equal to 300 x its Level . Each of these cards depicts " Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman " holding a different Destruction Sword . Lore . Most of the " Destruction Sword " archetype and its related cards tell a short episode about the relationship between " Buster Blader , the Destruction Swordmaster " and the " Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman " . In it , the retrained " Buster Blader , the Destruction Swordmaster " appears and not the original " Buster Blader " card , as shown by the differences in their armor . Each of the " Buster Destruction Swords " show " Buster Whelp " growing bigger and slowly more vicious , in addition to holding different " Destruction Swords " . In the artwork of " Dragon Buster " , " Buster Whelp " has simply grown more mature ; in the artwork of " Wizard Buster " it is shown to be drowning in dark sludge ; and in the artwork of " Robot Buster " it looks plain vicious , eventually becoming " Buster Dragon " . While the reason behind this transformation or corruption is not explained , the artwork of " Karma of the Destruction Swordsman " features " Buster Blader " confronting " Buster Dragon " at some point . At some point during the battle , " Buster Blader " separated " Buster Whelp " from " Buster Dragon " through unknown means and saved " Buster Whelp ' s " life , as shown in " Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman " . " Destruction Swordsman Fusion " shows " Buster Blader " slayed " Buster Dragon " and touching him with the " Dragon Buster Destruction Sword " resting in the ground . " Destruction Sword Memories " reflects a good memory of " Buster Blader " and " Buster Whelp " , showing their bond while raindrops slide down it . However , due to the artwork of " Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman " , " Buster Whelp ' s " fate is unclear . Presumably , this is the moment the two fuse into " Buster Blader , the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman " . " Destruction Sword Flash " features the attack of " Dragon Destroyer " . Playing style . When Normal Summon ed , " Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman " can search for a " Destruction Sword " card . An ideal opening move is to search for " Destruction Sword Memories " or " Destruction Swordsman Fusion " to get either " Buster Blader " or " Buster Blader , the Destruction Swordmaster " to the field . In the same turn , " Buster Whelp " can either Tribute itself to Special Summon a " Buster Blader " from the hand or Graveyard or Special Summon itself from the Graveyard by discarding a " Destruction Sword " card . Besides the useful Disruption effects of " Dragon Buster Destruction Sword " and " Wizard Buster Destruction Sword " , " Dragon Buster " can Special Summon itself to the Field to Synchro Summon " Buster Dragon " and " Wizard Buster " can send itself to the Graveyard to add a different " Destruction Sword " card back to the hand . As a Level 1 Tuner monster , " Buster Whelp " can be searched by the effect of " Sage with Eyes of Blue " , and , as it has a once per turn effect , extras can be discarded with " Cards of Consonance " to use its second effect in combination with " Buster Dragon " . The evolved forms of " Buster Whelp " , " Dragon Buster " , " Robot Buster " , and " Wizard Buster " can be equipped to a " Buster Blader " to disrupt the opponent in various ways . " Emblem of Dragon Destroyer " adds the original " Buster Blader " from the Deck , but can only add " Buster Blader , the Destruction Swordmaster " from the Graveyard ( due to it being treated as " Buster Blader " in the Graveyard ) . " Magical Hats " can send the " Destruction Sword " Spell / Trap Cards the Graveyard , so that the Spells can recycle themselves or the Traps can activate their secondary effects . " Dragon Ravine " can send " Dragunity Phalanx " ( in combination with the " Dragunity " archetype ) or " Buster Whelp " directly to the Graveyard . The Pendulum effect of " Dragoncaller Magician " allows any monster on the field to be treated as a Dragon - Type , which not only assists the original " Buster Blader " , but allows " Buster Blader , the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman " to use its effects without " Buster Dragon " or " DNA Surgery " . Additionally , it can be combined with " Dragonpit Magician " for actual Pendulum Summoning and Spell / Trap destruction . " Dragon ' s Mirror " can also be included as a last resort , because if all else fails , it can be used to Summon " Five - Headed Dragon " or " First of the Dragons " for the finishing blow , because your opponent will have likely already exhausted most of their resources to deal with " Buster Blader , the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman " , " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " , and especially " Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons " and " Red - Eyes Flare Metal Dragon " .
