She then activates "Gem-Knight Fusion" to fuse "Gem-Knight Tourmaline" with "Gem-Knight Crystal" in order to Fusion Summon "Gem-Knight Prismaura" (2450/1400) in Attack Position. She then activates its effect to discard one card and destroy "Heavy Arsenal Hound". Since"Gem-Knight Baryte" was discarded, its effect activates, allowing Rarity to add "Graceful Charity" from her Deck to her hand.
