**Turn ?: Roseluck**

"Natural Barkion" attacks "Birdface", but Gilda activates her face-down "Protective Winds" to negate the attack, but Roseluck activates the effect of "Naturia Barkion" to banish two cards from her Graveyard, negate the activation of "Protective Winds" and destroy it. "Naturia Barkion" then destroys "Birdface" (Gilda 2800 > 1900). Since "Birdface" was destroyed by battle, its effect activates, allowing Gilda to add "Cyber Harpie Lady" from her Deck to her hand. She then Sets a card.

**Turn ?: Gilda**

Gilda draws. She then Normal Summons "Cyber Harpie Lady" (1800/1300) in Attack Position. She then overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon "Harpie Lady Zephyr" (2100/2300) in Attack Position. She then activates the effect of "Harpie Lady Zephyr" to detach an Overlay Unit, revive "Birdface" (1600/1600) in Attack Position and increase the ATK of "Harpie Lady Zephyr" by half its ATK ("Harpie Lady Zephyr": 2100 > 2900/2300). "Harpie Lady Zephyr" attacks and destroys "Naturia Barkion" (Roseluck 1700 > 1300).

"Shimmering Phoenix Princess Daydream" attacks "Operetta", but Adagio activates her unknown face-down, but Sunset activates the second effect of "Shimmering Phoenix Princess Daydream" to pay 300 LP (Sunset 2800 > 2500), negate the activation of that card effect and destroy it.
