In order to protect her new friends, Tempest Shadow duels against Novo with a different archetype from the one she used last series..

## Featured Duel: Tempest Shadow vs. Novo

**Turn 1: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then Normal Summons "Storm Guard Liberator Sword" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. Since "Sword" was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Tempest to look at the top three cards of her Deck and add an unknown "Storm Guard Liberator" monster among them to her hand. She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 2: Novo**

Novo draws. She then activates "Reincarnation of Hope" to discard two cards and add a monster from her Deck to her hand during her second Standby Phase. She then Normal Summons "Atlantean Dragoons" (1800/0) in Attack Position. "Dragoons" attacks and destroys "Sword" (Tempest 4000 → 3700). She then Sets two cards.

**Turn 3: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then Normal Summons "Storm Guard Liberator Spear" (1800/800) in Attack Position. She then activates "Black Lightning" to increase the ATK of "Spear" by 1000 ("Spear": 1800 → 2800/800). "Spear" attacks and destroys "Atlantean Dragoons" (Novo 4000 → 3000). Since "Spear" destroyed a monster by battle, its effect activates, allowing Tempest to draw one card.

**Turn 4: Novo**

Novo draws. She then activates her face-down "Mythic Totem". Now Special Summoned monsters cannot be destroyed by battle. She then Normal Summons "Neo Barrier Statue of the Torrents" (1000/1000) in Attack Position. She then activates "Natural Spring Water" to increase the ATK of "Torrents" by 500 for every WATER monster in Novo's Graveyard until the End Phase. There are currently three ("Torrents": 1000 → 2500/1000). "Torrents" attacks and destroys "Spear" (Tempest 3700 → 3000). Tempest activates her face-down "Liberator Recruitment" to banish "Spear" and "Sword" from her Graveyard and add "Tempest Rogue Liberator Scarvolt" and "Spine-Hog Liberator" from her Deck to her hand.

**Turn 5: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then activates "Spine-Hog Liberator" (Left 1) and "Tempest Unicorn Liberator" (Right 8) in her Pendulum Zones. She then Pendulum Summons "Storm Guard Liberator Shield" (1000/2000) from her hand in Defense Position and "Scarvolt" (2500/2000) from her hand in Attack Position. Due to the Pendulum Effect of "Spine-Hog Liberator", Tempest can draw one card for each Special Summoned monster, meaning two. Since "Scarvolt" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Tempest to Special Summon "Storm Guard Liberator Katar" (800/1300) from her Deck in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to halve the ATK of "Torrents" ("Torrents": 1000 → 500/1000). She then Normal Summons "Storm Guard Liberator Scimitar" (1600/1500) in Attack Position. She then activates the second effect of "Scarvolt" to increase its ATK by 500 for every other monster she controls ("Scarvolt": 2500 → 4000/2000). During the Battle Phase, the Pendulum Effect of "Tempest Unicorn" activates, increasing the ATK of all monsters Tempest controls by 100 for every other monster she controls ("Shield": 1000 → 1400/2000; "Katar": 800 → 1200/1300; "Scimitar": 1600 → 2000/1500; "Scarvolt": 4000 → 4400/2000). "Scarvolt" attacks and destroys "Torrents", but Novo activates her face-down "Atlantean Barrier". Now whenever Novo would take Battle Damage, she can pay 500 LP and reduce the Battle Damage to 0. Novo uses the effect of "Atlantean Barrier" (Novo 3000 → 2500). Since "Torrents" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, allowing Novo to Special Summon "Atlantean Heavy Industry" (0/1600) from her Deck in Attack Position. She then Sets a card.

**Turn 6: Novo**

Novo draws. During Novo's Standby Phase, the effect of "Reincarnation of Hope" activates, allowing Novo to add "Zenith Dragon of Bottomless Oceans Fabulaqua" from her Deck to her hand. She then Normal Summons "Rhodos the Atlantean Princess" (1600/800) in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Rhodos" to Tribute it and "Heavy Infantry" in order to Special Summon "Amphitrite" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Since "Heavy Infantry" was Tributed to activate an effect, its effect activates, allowing Novo to destroy one monster Tempest controls. She destroys "Shield". She then activates "Salvage" to return "Torrents" and "Atlantean Dragoons" from her Graveyard to her hand. She then activates the effect of "Amphitrite" to discard "Torrents" and change the Attributes of all monsters Tempest controls to WATER and increase its ATK by 200 for each one ("Amphitrite": 3000 → 3600/2500). "Amphitrite" attacks "Katar", but Tempest activates her face-down "Interception" to redirect the attack to "Scarvolt", destroying it instead (Tempest 3000 → 1900). Since "Scarvolt" was destroyed by battle, Tempest activates her face-down "Scarvolt's Spirit" to place "Katar" on the bottom of her Deck and Special Summon a monster whose ATK is 800 or more (Equal to or more than that of the placed monster). She Special Summons "Storm Guard Liberator Glaive" (1900/1200) in Attack Position.

**Turn 7: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Storm Guard Liberator Ryyk" (2000/1500) from her hand and "Scarvolt" (2500/2000) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. The Pendulum Effect of "Spine-Hog Liberator" activates, allowing Tempest to draw two cards. The effect of "Scarvolt" activates, allowing Tempest to target "Amphitrite" and Special Summon "Storm Guard Liberator Puppeteer" (1000/1000) from her Deck in Defense Position. She then activates the effect of "Scarvolt" ("Scarvolt": 2500 → 4500/2000). During the Battle Phase, the Pendulum Effect of "Tempest Unicorn" activates ("Scarvolt": 4500 → 5000/2000; "Ryyk": 2000 → 2500/1500; "Glaive": 1900 → 2400/1200; "Scimitar": 1600 → 2100/1500; "Puppeteer": 1000 → 1500/1000). "Scarvolt" attacks and destroys "Amphidrite" (Novo 2500 → 2000). Since "Amphitrite" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, reviving "Rhodos" (1600/800) in Defense Position. She then activates the effect of "Puppeteer" to Tribute itself and switch "Rhodos" to Attack Position. "Glaive", "Scimitar" and "Ryyk" all attack "Rhodos" (Novo 2000 → 1500 → 1000 → 500). She then equips "Scarvolt" with "Raregold Armor". Now "Scarvolt" is the only monster Tempest controls that Novo can attack.

**Turn 8: Novo**

Novo draws. She then Normal Summons "Atlantean Field Medic" (1200/1200) in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Rhodos" to Tribute itself and "Field Medic" in order to revive "Amphitrite" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. Since "Field Medic" was Tributed by a card effect, its effect activates, increasing Novo's LP by 300 for every WATER monster in Novo's Graveyard. There are currently four (Novo 500 → 1700). She then activates the effect of the "Field Medic" in her Graveyard, banishing it to return "Rhodos" from her Graveyard to her hand. She then actvates the effect of "Amphitrite" to discard "Rhodos" ("Amphitrite": 3000 → 3800/2500). "Amphitrite" attacks and destroys "Scarvolt" (Tempest 1900 → 600).

**Turn 9: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then Pendulum Summons "Scarvolt" (2500/2000) from her Extra Deck in Attack Position. The effect of "Scarvolt" activates, targeting "Amphitrite" to Special Summon "Storm Guard Liberator Medic" (1000/1500) from her Deck in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to Tribute itself and increase her LP by 400 for every monster she controls (Tempest 600 → 2200). During the Battle Phase, the Pendulum Effect of "Tempest Unicorn" activates ("Scarvolt": 4000 → 4400/2000; "Ryyk": 2000 → 2500/1500; "Glaive": 1900 → 2400/1200; "Scimitar": 1600 → 2100/1500). "Scarvolt" attacks and destroys "Amphidrite" (Novo 1700 → 1200). Since "Amphitrite" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, reviving "Rhodos" (1600/800) in Defense Position. He then switches "Ryyk", "Glaive" and "Scimitar" to Defense Position.

**Turn 10: Novo**

He then activates the effect of "Rhodos" to Tribute it and "Dragoons" in order to revive "Amphitrite" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. She then Tributes "Amphidrite" and discards another copy in order to Special Summon "Zenith Dragon of Bottomless Oceans Fabulaqua" (? → 6000/? → 5000) in Attack Position. "Fabulaqua's" effect returns all Spells and Traps Pinkie controls to her hand and allows Novo to revive "Rhodos", "Dragoons", "Heavy Infantry" and "Atlantean Pikeman" (1400/0) in Attack Position. "Fabulaqua" attacks "Scarvolt", but Tempest activates the effect of the "Shield" in her Graveyard, banishing it to activate "Storm Guard Liberator Lightning Sentinel" from his hand, Special Summoning itself  (1100/2300) as a monster in Defense Position and redirect the attack to itself. Due to the effect of "Lightning Sentinel", it gains 400 DEF for every other "Liberator" monster she controls ("Lightning Sentinel": 1100/2300 → 3500). "Fabulaqua" then destroys "Lightning Sentinel".

**Turn 11: Tempest**

Tempest draws. She then switches "Glaive", "Scimitar" and "Ryyk" to Attack Position. She then Tributes "Scarvolt" in order to Special Summon "Tempest Renegade Scarvolt Miraculum" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to discard her entire hand and destroy one Spell or Trap Card Novo controls for each card discarded and increase the ATK of all other monsters she controls by 100 for each card discarded.
