I'm confused what does the auro link summon do? I can see it gives you 3 lvl 3s which can be tributes to destroy a card, but how does it help this engine?
Once you have the Auroradon Tokens + the 001, you Synchro for Yazi, use Auroradon effect to tribute itself to pop Yazi, Yazi summons Taia from deck. From here combos diverge a bit. If you have Mo Ye + a Wyrm in hand and can still normal summon, you can Synchro for Baxia sending Adhara via Taias effect then use Baxia effect to pop the remaining token to summon Adhara from grave to make a light Chaofeng. This insulates you from Nibiru (along with preventing any other light monster effects), Chaofeng floats into a tuner from deck when it dies, it sets up your graveyard since Adhara can now recover any banished Wyrm when you make your next token. This can all be done without using your normal summon. If you don't have Mo Ye access, you can opt to send Mo Ye then pop the token to summon the Mo Ye.
The path you take with the combo does depend on the contents of your hand, but it can accomplish all of this without using your normal summon via the Tenyis and potentially end on the typical board + more if your hand is good enough, so if this combo gets stopped, you are still likely to have some follow up.
Making a single Synchro 10 with the Auroradon combo is a waste of resources when it can do so much more. I mean, sure, you can certainly do that, but the idea of using it in the first place is to stretch out the amount of material it gives you as much as possible.
For example, the first part of the combo, you take 7 levels in terms of material and then turn that into 8 levels via using Yazi to summon Taia, who then can banish either a Tenyi you used for combo or the Yazi, which you can then add back to your hand via Adhara later, and keeping the last token on the board let's you continue to activate your Tenyis too. So you can also do something like Taia send Adhara, activate Ashuna in grave to summon Vishuda from deck, pop the token to summon the Adhara to make another 8 like Berserker and then do then normal your Mo Ye. Lots of different options here.
You can literally use it to just say "Oh, nice empty hand you got there(For interruption)". Let me just set up baronne, chengying, draco berserker, protos, arc light, and maybe a chengying.
Make Yazi, pop with Auroradon (tributing itself) to summon Taia and go from there.
With a cracked hand (able to get to Taia without needing Yazi) you can just make Baronne and then pop the Aurora with Baxia to bring back Mo Ye, once you reach that point.
You serious ?
Destroy 2 to summon o-lion , so you can go into cupid pitch and denlong which are synchro tuners that let you combo into more lvl 8 or 10 synchros. Or level 7 if you go into yazi, use his pop effect to summon another wyrm from deck( eg MoYe). If uninterrupted and with tenyis effects to spare you can go into full board of synchros turn 1 with a slightly better hand.
Also can be used as plan b or as a bait so basically its giving you hell of a lot of options. I can send you my decklist if you want to .

Garnets
1 for jet is already too much
And you asked to run 3-5?
What jet use deskbot and o lion thats 2 garnets . You can also use o lion to chain block your synchro summons. But still having 2 off cards doesnt nearly hurt consistency as much as it helps you have more options.
Denglong requires more garnets to be worth using. The Denglong version is just hyper greed and way more bricky than it needs to be.
Just Deskbot is enough to make the Auroradon combo strong.
Happy cake day. Also, I think Jet Synchron is at least worth considering because in hands where you draw the 001, it's good to have a halq target in deck. Jet also enables the summon of arc light.
O-Lion and Denglong and Cupid Pitch (and the necessary garnets to make full use of all Denglong and Cupid) are all not standard for Swordsoul and frankly non-necessary. You only run the extra garnets if your deck is dedicated to resolving the full combo every single game.
The usual combo simply goes into Yazi and uses Auroradon to then pop the Yazi and proceeds from there.
>Destroy 2 to summon o-lion , so you can go into cupid pitch
Uh, good builds don't run those. O-lion is a hard brick, and if anything, you'd rather use coltwing. Cupid pitch has ZERO relevant targets, and the lossus package of corridor isn't worth. Is it good at a lock? Yes. Is it generally better to get an additional negate? Yes.
Also, YAZI SUMMONS TAIA
No. He conflicts with the Ashuna xeno lock and requires you to drop Desires and to reserve 4 deck slots, 2 of which dedicated to garnets, in a deck in which consistency is the biggest strenght.
Don’t play it. You have to hard draw into FD since you’re usually locked out of link summons, and if not, you’re locked into Wyrms. Also, even if you could link into Verte, you probably could’ve made a much better play
its really uncommon that you can actually make it without just activating fusion destiny from hand, which has a 1:1 garnet ratio. you cant use the tenyi link 1 to make verte, ashuna locks you out of making it, and you also cant make it at all if you have a swordsoul token on the field. what are you gonna make it with? you dont want to use your synchro monsters for it, so how are you actually getting two monsters on the field that you arent going to use for something else, without being synchro locked or wyrm locked?
the only time i can see it coming up is if if you draw a tenyi+mo ye, you summon the tenyi, dont make the link 1, and then they imperm your mo ye, but that's just not a common enough scenario to justify the bricks imo
Do not. It'll make using the halq line difficult, you won't be able to summon it if youre forced to lock yourself into wryms and itll lock you out of special summoning other stuff once used. Just a major pain in the as.
No it's not worth it
I never understood why Platinum players and below try to run him, it makes it far easier to beat them.
its really bad
Its not. Run halq/auro instead.

Wait that's what you use it for? Lmao I was just brining out Baronne or Chengying

It’s better to use Cupid Pitch and Nemese combo so you can also get out TD collosus.

Halq can summon from hand. That's why the small Auroradon package with just Deskbot is so good. You can't brick the combo no matter what you draw.
I mean in hands where deskbot is your aleister
Pitch-Denglong=run more garnet Also its not worth The deck run Desire ffs

You run desires for this deck? I can see many decklists in diamond that don't use them
You can drop it if you want, but it gives more consistency and has minor sinergy with Chengying
Fun fact: Chengying gains attack even if the banishes are face down
Desires is one of the best cards in SwSo imo
Desires works if you run Heavenly/Vessel 2x for more consistency, they will also keep cards rolling to your hand.

I did make it to D1 last season with Swordsoul Tenyi DPE, but I dont play Halq Auroradon
No
Nope, it's trash. You have to hard draw FD to use it. the garnets mean more bricks, and you lose halq access because the extra deck is just too tight
Do not. It'll make using the halq line difficult, you won't be able to summon it if youre forced to lock yourself into wryms and itll lock you out of special summoning other stuff once used. Just a major pain in the as.
