The most powerful and popular Masked HERO in competitive play has been " Masked HERO Dark Law", with his one-sided Macro Cosmos-type effect capable of shutting down certain Decks by itself. In particular, " Masked HERO Acid", who will destroy the opponent's Spells/Traps as well, leaving them open for at least 2600 damage if used on the player's turn, or stopping their turn. " Mask Change II" takes this even further by allowing "Masked HERO" monsters to be splashable in any Deck, as long as one can handle the increased cost and Extra Deck real estate.Īn efficient build can consist of running a few "Elemental HERO" monsters that help conduct Fusion Summons (Like " Elemental HERO Blazeman" and " Elemental Hero Woodsman") to Fusion Summon " Elemental HERO Absolute Zero" (" King of the Swamp" help this even further) which has 2 advantages: it can be Fusion Summoned using even "Masked Hero" monsters, and when combined with "Mask Change" or "Form Change", lets you get a WATER or high Leveled "Masked HERO" while destroying the opponent's monsters. While "Masked HERO" is an independent archetype in the manga, in the TCG/ OCG they were revamped to be a general " HERO" support, making them splashable options for any "HERO" Deck (though they essentially work well only with "Elemental HERO" monsters, due to their varied Attributes).

The Double Attacks are also similar to the original Kamen Riders' (1 and 2) "Rider Double" techniques. In addition to "Kamen" meaning "Masked", there are several similarities between the two, such the recurring "form changing" and transformations of Kamen Riders. While the " Elemental HERO" archetype is said to be based off of American superheroes, it can also be assumed that the "Masked HERO" archetype is a salute to the Japanese Tokusatsu series Kamen Rider. ![]()
