GTA3's Top 10 Non-Tribute Monsters

 

10. Goblin Attack Force - 2300 ATK for no Tribute is crazy. Too bad he has to go to Defense mode and has 0 Defense. That can be simply solved with Final Attack Orders or Waboku.

 

9. Giant Orc - Same as Goblin except he has 2200 Attack.

 

8. Berserk Gorilla - 2000 ATK and doesn't haven't any Life Point payments, isn't a 0 Defense, Defense Mode Switcher. The drawback? It has to attack if it can and if it is in Defense mode it is automatically destroyed.

 

7. Slate Warrior - Without flipping him, he still has the solid 1900 Attack beatstick and if your opponent hits it with something stronger, it loses 500 Attack/Defense. Now Jinzo can be suicided by a 1900 beatstick or easily killed from Goblin/Orc/Gorilla. And if you do Flip him, he turn into a 2400 Attack nightmare.

 

6. Spear Dragon - Scapegoat preventing you to kill your opponent? Spear Dragon can solve your problems. Poke that little Goat and your opponent stil loses 1900 Life Points as if your Dragon attacked directly. Too bad it is a 0 Defense, Defense Mode Switcher like Orc and Goblin.

 

5. Breaker the Magical Warrior - What do you get when you put Mystical Space Typhoon in Monster form? Breaker the Magical Warrior of course. When he's Normal Summoned he turns into your everyday 1900 beatstick. And if your opponent has a Spell/Trap face-up or face-down, you can simply remove Breaker's Spell Counter to get rid of it.

 

4. Tribe-Infecting Virus - This is what I like to call a Mini Dark Hole. Lets say your opponent has 2 Marauding Captains and a Goblin Attack Force in Defense mode. They probably think they are safe since you can't attack because of their 2 Captains. With Tribe-Infecting Virus, they aren't. Simply discard a card and call Warrior and their Defense is gone. Great when your facing a Theme Deck (i.e. Warrior deck, Zombie deck)

 

3. X Force (Exiled Force) - Your opponent has a suspicious face-down monster? X Force it. Jinzo preventing you from using Mirror Force? X Force it. Is that Lily with 3 Axes hurting you? X it.

 

2. Injection Fairy Lily - A 3400 Attack monster that can attack under Gravity Bind and I think Messenger of Peace is extremly crazy. The problem is that you have to pay 2000 Life Points to pump her up. And when you can't pay, she is a 400 Attack weenie that is ready to get pounded.

 

1. Blade Knight - Even though it hasn't been released in English game, I consider this to be the best Level 4 in the game. Why? If you have or less cards in your hand he turns in a 2000 Attack beast. And if he is the only monster that you control, he negates the effects of Effect Monster he destroys. Cyber Jar, Fiber Jar, Man-Eater Bug, all gone
