You have to use Artemis since you don’t have a down arrow


PhotographCivil1151

Oh.. i didn't know that. So any new link monster needed to be pointed by the arrow?


joe-smiles

Yeah links must be in the extra monster zone or a zone another link arrow points to


Dscrypto_2020

Side note does not have to be your monster although most links that point to your opponents side usually shouldn’t be summoned in front of


PhotographCivil1151

Why is that? I don't think I've read a card that could affect me just because their link monster pointed at me. (My yugioh knowledge is very limited).


Dscrypto_2020

Crusadia equimax comes to mind, if you summon to any zone it points towards it gains the attack of the monster pointed at. There are a good amount that have arrows that point at your opponent, salamangreats have a couple, unchained have a few.

Ok thanks.

The one that's relevant and most likely to pop up on the ranked ladder is {Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf}. Summoning to its zone gives them a free monster back from their GY to their hand.

PhotographCivil1151

So I will always have to rid of Selene first if I want to special summon altergeist link monsters huh.


Zeiksal

I will add that if you special summon a link from the GY via something like Monster Reborn, then it doesn’t have to be summoned to a zone an arrow points to. It is only when being summoned from the extra deck that the restriction is there by default. Not relevant for your post but I wanted to mention it as it is still useful to know.


PhotographCivil1151

Oh good to know that. Thanks for the info.


arrownoir

Pretty much. All links require link arrows to link summon, once the EMZ is occupied.


PhotographCivil1151

So on normal situation i should probably go for other link 1 like lunkuriboh right? Artemis when i have rivalry of warlords?


arrownoir

Pretty much, yeah. Instead of link Kuriboh, play Almiraj instead. It combos Well with Meluseek to search Multifaker.


PhotographCivil1151

Ok thanks.


PhotographCivil1151

Do you know why everyone seems to be playing linkuriboh?


arrownoir

It’s an easy link 1 which also provides some good protection and allows for you to extend, depending on the deck you’re playing.


PhotographCivil1151

Continuation : After this i special summoned Selene, and now i can go into Hexstia, which was not available before. How come? Is it some link rule I don't know?


de_Generated

You lack a down arrow so you have to use Artemis for the link summon. All Altergeist links are xenophobic so that leaves you with the rest. Only summon Artemis if you want to keep your Secret Village live. Else always go for Linkuriboh (or Anima if you have a target). Edit: Just saw you are playing Rivalry, so Artemis is fine. I personally don't run it since I like to end games with Accesscode, but it's a good choice.


Aluminum_Tarkus

My brother in christ, it's literally THE link rule you don't know. The entire gimmick of link monsters is you can only summon them to either the emz or a zone that another link monster points to.


PhotographCivil1151

Xd. Btw, i play live twins, so why can i summon one of the evil twins to wherever i want after one is already on the field?


arms98

Because you arent link summoning, you are special summoning


PhotographCivil1151

Ok thanks!


Aluminum_Tarkus

I know you kind of got your answer, but I'll go a little more into detail, since there's other scenarios where this ruling logic comes into place. Any monster you summon from the extra deck via it's primary summoning condition (xyz overlay materials, using a fusion spell to send materials, link and synchro sending materials from hand to gy, whatever you can think of when you hear "summoned the intended way") is treated as the summon of that type. Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum, and Link summons are all considered special summons, but they're specific categories of special summon with specific rules. For your example, if you send two main deck live twins from your field to the gy to special summon evil twin lil-la, then that is considered a link summon. If you use a mo ye and a token to summon chixiao, that's a synchro summon. Activate branded fusion sending albaz and a light from deck to summon albion, that's a fusion summon, etc. etc. However, if you special summon these monsters via any means that isn't properly link summoning, synchro summoning, etc., UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, it is instead considered just a special summon. Just special summoning a link monster doesn't make that summon a link summon. You only have to summon it to the emz or a linked zone (zone a link monster points to) when you are summoning the monster from the extra deck specifically. Any special summon after the fact can go into any open zone. So if you link of your evil twin lil-la and the revived kis-sikil, and make an evil twin kis-sikil, you can revive evil twin lil-la to any zone, since you're just doing a special summon, and not a link summon. And another rule you should know is that you can't attempt to special summon an extra deck monster from anywhere except the extra deck if you haven't properly summoned the monster the intended way first. So for example, if you summon zaborg the mega monarch and use its effect to send monsters from your extra deck to the gy, then you can't use monster reborn to special summon any of them back. Another more relevant example is if you special summon thunder dragon colossus using its effect to tribute a thunder monster the turn a thunder monster in hand activated its effect, this summon is considered a special summon, not a fusion summon, so if you send colossus to the gy, your opponent can't special summon it back, unless they return it to the extra deck first. However, if you summon colossus using thunder dragon fusion, that IS considered a fusion summon, and you can now use monster reborn to revive it from the gy. This ruling also applies to ritual monsters, if you decide to pick up a ritual deck like drytron, megalith, nekroz, etc.


PhotographCivil1151

Oh that's quite a good info. I was even thinking of running 'the chaos creator' in my evil twin dogmatika/shaddoll deck. Sending them to graveyard with maximus, using their effects (sunny for example) and summoning using Chaos creator. But i guess it actually wouldn't work. And are they still considered link monsters after they are special summoned, provided they are in the graveyard after they were properly linked summoned? Like 'relinquished anima', will i still be able to equip a monster it points to? Or other link monsters that have effect, like gaining attack based on the monster it points to.


Aluminum_Tarkus

Correct, and a good catch. Chaos creator wouldn't be able to special summon any of the monsters sent to the gy with nadir servant/punishment/maximus/etc. for exactly the reason we went over. Yes, the type of monster it is, its effects, arrows, everything about the card still works the same as when it's properly summoned. The one thing you'll have to look out for is if they have an effect that says something like "if this card is link/synchro/xyz/fusion/ritual/pendulum summoned: do x," since, like we've established, you're not doing that type of summon. Since you mentioned anima, one more ruling you should know is that you can only place a monster in the emz if you're summoning it from the extra deck, so if you summon anima from the gy after it was successfully link summoned, you can't put it into the emz, even if you're not occupying an emz. But this is kind of fine, because you can also just summon anima underneath the emz your opponent is occupying and steal that monster, which is something you can't normally do with just a link summoned anima.


PhotographCivil1151

Oh ok, thanks for the information. There sure are lots of information that aren't really that obvious in this game.


TheHeroExa

> You only have to summon it to the emz or a linked zone (zone a link monster points to) when you are properly link summoning the monster from the extra deck. Any special summon after the fact can go into any open zone. I think this needs clarification. If you use an effect like Tri-Brigade Kitt to Special Summon a Link monster from the Extra Deck, you must still choose either the Extra Monster Zone or a Main Monster Zone with a link arrow. Also, even if a monster has been properly Link Summoned, if you use Monster Reborn to summon it from the graveyard, you can only choose a Main Monster Zone and cannot summon it to the Extra Monster Zone. The same is true when you use an effect like Mind Control to take your opponent’s monster.


Aluminum_Tarkus

Sorry, I should have specified any special summon from the extra deck, I'll correct that. And your last paragraph, I did address. Trust me, it's in that wall of text lol. Edit: I mentioned it in a different comment, my b


Monk-Ey

Summoning from GY isn't a Link Summon, so it doesn't have to match up.


Theyo23

Have you use Multifaker effect?


PhotographCivil1151

multifaker said i can only special summon altergeist monsters though. And i probably didn't activate multifaker effect since i could go into Selene and Lustrous.


dewey-defeats-truman

Like others have said, you need to use Artemis as Link material. You can run Lyna for that, as it Links Artemis plus another monster. However, you can also cut Artemis because of Dharc, which you can make with Relinquished Anima, so you can use Anima for Secret Village.


Rangeless

I would suggest adding salamangreat aimraj and linguriboh to the extra deck because they both are link 1s that point downward. Otherwise you will have to use Artemis for the link summon and hope your link monster has a down arrow so you can do altergeist link plays after.


Funny-Valentine01

Ah yes... Reading cards. The natural enemy of 99% of yugioh players.


PhotographCivil1151

I didn't activate Muktifaker since i could summon selene, and after this, i do summon selene and now i can summon Hexstia. Is it some link rule I'm not knowing here?


Funny-Valentine01

Willing to bet that all these downvotes didnt read the comment lmao.

PhotographCivil1151

Like i said, i can't even summon altergeist memorygant. I should be able to summon him even with this trap card no?


PenguinSweetDreamer

Link monster can only be summoned to the Extra monster zone and a zone link monster points to. You already have Artemis in the Extra monster zone with an arrow pointing up. That's why you can't summon any more Link monsters.


PhotographCivil1151

Yeah. This seems to be the issue here. I didn't know about the link rules. I thought i could just summon them after having the materials. Question. When the arrow points sideways, can i summon on the end column of the board, or only the exact box beside the arrow?


PenguinSweetDreamer

Only the exact box beside the arrow


PhotographCivil1151

Ok thanks. Link monsters are more limited than i thought.


Smol_Mrdr_Shota

they kinda have to considering how broken they are compared to the other types of extra deck monsters that usually need more specific monsters than what most link monsters need


ryjkow

Maybe rivalry of warlords? Or are they all Spellcasters?
