"Bladedge" destroys "Water Dragon". "Bladedge" then inflicts piercing damage to Bastion (Bastion LP: 1500→500). After damage calculation, the effect of "Skyscraper" expires (Bladedge ATK: 3600→2600). Since "Water Dragon" was destroyed, its final effect activates, letting Bastion Special Summon two "Hydrogeddons" (1600/1000 each) and one "Oxygeddon" (1800/600) from his Graveyard, all in Defense Position. Since one of Jaden's monsters destroyed a monster Bastion controlled by battle, Bastion activates his face-down "Last Magnet", equipping it to "Bladedge" and decreasing its ATK by 800 (Bladedge ATK: 2600→1800)."Clayman" attacks "Oxygeddon". The effect of "Skyscraper" activates (Clayman ATK: 800→1800). "Clayman" destroys "Oxygeddon". After damage calculation, the effect of "Skyscraper" expires (Clayman ATK: 1800→800).

Turn 11 - Bastion: Draws (4). Bastion activates "Litmus Doom Ritual" (3) to Tribute his two "Hydrogeddons" and Ritual Summon "Litmus Doom Swordsman" (0/0) in Attack Position from his hand (2). Since there is a face-up Trap Card on the field, the ATK and DEF of "Litmus Doom Swordsman" become 3000 due to its second effect (Litmus Doom Swordsman ATK/DEF: 0→3000/0→3000). This monster also can't be destroyed in battle and it is unaffected by Trap Cards. "Litmus Doom Swordsman" attacks "Bladedge". The effect of "Skyscraper" activates (Bladedge ATK: 1800→2800). "Litmus Doom Swordsman" destroys "Bladedge" (Jaden LP: 1800→1600) (Litmus Doom Swordsman ATK/DEF: 3000→0/3000→0). "Hyozanryu" attacks "Clayman".

Turn 12 - Jaden: Draws (2). Jaden NS “Elemental HERO Wildheart” (1500/1600) (1). Bastion activates his face down “Spirit Barrier”, preventing him from taking Battle Damage while he controls a monster (Litmus Doom Swordsman ATK/DEF: 0→3000/0→3000). Jaden activates “Cyclone Boomerang” and equips it to “Wildheart” (Wildheart ATK: 1500→2000). “Wildheart” attacks “Hyozanryu”, but Bastion activates the effect of “Magneterodactyl” from his hand, equipping it to “Litmus Doom Swordsman” (0). Due to the effect of “Magneterodactyl”, only “Litmus Doom Swordsman” can be targeted for attacks. “Wildheart” attacks “Litmus Doom Swordsman”. The effect of "Skyscraper" activates (Wildheart ATK: 2000→3000). Due to the effect of “Litmus Doom Swordsman”, it cannot be destroyed by battle, so only “Wildheart” is destroyed.
