The Best Super Polymerization Targets In YGO

Summary

• Super Polymerization is a versatile card for board-breaking and Fusion Summoning.
• Gilti Gearfried is effective against Warrior Decks and can negate targeting.
• Yubel The Loving Defender is a powerful Super Poly target against Yubel decks.

Super Polymerization is one of the strongest cards to have ever been printed in Yu-Gi-Oh! The ability to fuse both players’ Monsters is not to be understated, especially since its activation can’t be responded to.

Thanks to this, Super Polymerization is a fantastic card for Decks that go second to take care of problem boards, as well as a solid choice in the Side Deck. While a player may use Super Polymerization to Fusion Summon their own monsters, its power comes from being able to dismantle opposing fields. Due to how many Fusion Monsters use generic materials, Super Polymerization can Summon them while using only the opponent’s own monsters.

Updated March 13, 2025 by Alexander J Pinera: Super Polymerization is one of the best board breakers in Yu-Gi-Oh!, and continues to add targets with the introduction of Supreme Darkness. As the meta evolves, so does the availability of different Fusion Monsters that are compatible with this strategy, allowing you to target a wider range of monsters. Some are good in specific metas, while others are so generic they can be added to any extra deck as a means to use Super Polymerization.

Gilti Gearfried The Magical Steel Knight

Kryptonite For Warrior Decks

If you’re looking to stop some Elemental Hero decks that got an upgrade in Supreme Darkness, then Gilti Gearfried, The Magical Steel Knight might just do the trick. This is because it specifically needs two Warriors to make.

As a monster on the board, it’s also quite useful, since it can negate anything that targets it while also destroying a card on the field. It can make two attacks per Battle Phase and banish Spells to beef up its attack power. The only downside is that you need to anticipate your opponent’s endboard to truly use it as a Super Polymerization target.

Yubel The Loving Defender Forever

Great In Yubel, Great Against Yubel

Yubel is one of the toughest decks to deal with, but it also has a weakness that is part of its strengths. Yubel the Loving Defender needs one Yubel Monster as well as any Effect Monster. This second requirement leaves it open for a Super Poly Summon.

Almost every useable monster is considered an Effect Monster, therefore you can get rid of a Link, Fusion, Synchro, or anything that might get in your way. This target works wonders if you’re facing off against a Yubel deck. In this case, you can use one of your opponent’s Yubels instead of your own.

17

Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste

Dragons And Warriors Combined

Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste is a bit specific in its materials, requiring a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster as well as a Warrior Monster. Luckily, thanks to the return of Blue-Eyes, Dragon Rulers, and other Dragon centric decks, a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster being on the field isn’t too farfetched.

Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste generally only has a place in Warrior decks, since those Types are much less common. Its effects aren’t very useful (and in some cases impossible to activate depending on your deck), but its stats more than makeup for it. It has an incredibly high attack, making it hard to get rid of.

16

Panzer Dragon

Use Your Opponent’s Machines For Parts

Panzer Dragon can be hard to make but is a perfect option for the Side Deck in a deck that plays Machine Monsters. For materials, Panzer Dragon requires one Dragon-type Monster and one Machine Monster.

While Machines aren’t always the most common Monster Type, Dragons on the other hand, are one of the most popular. If you can’t find a Machine on the board you can also force one through a card like Clockwork Night which turns everything into Machines. Panzer Dragon also has solid Defense and the ability to destroy a card on the field if it gets destroyed.

15

World Chalice Guardragon Almarduke

A Card To Use When There Are Too Many Link Monsters

The power of World Chalice Guardragon Almarduke is somewhat dependent on the metagame. However, when relevant, it’s one of the best Super Polymerization targets out there. World Chalice Guardragon Almarduke requires 3 Link Monsters as materials.

Since Link Monsters can sometimes be vital, a well-timed Super Polymerization can completely shut down an opponent’s combo. Its effect is also great, as it can attack all monsters the opponent controls with its high 3000 Attack stat. If the player has a Link Monster in the graveyard, they can banish it if it’s the same Rank as a monster attacking World Chalice Guardragon Almarduke.

14

Borreload Furious Dragon

An Under Appreciated Borreload Dragon

One of the lesser-known Borreload cards, Borreload Furious Dragon is a fantastic Super Polymerization target when going up against decks with a heavy amount of Dragon Monsters. It only requires two Dark Dragon Monsters as materials, something popular Dragon decks like Dragon Link utilize plenty of.

Once on the field, it allows you to destroy one card on your side of the field to also destroy a card on the opponent’s field. If Borreload Furious Dragon is in the Graveyard, it can banish itself to Special Summon a Dark Link Monster from the graveyard as well.

13

Predaplant Chimerafflesia

Needs More Predaplants

The addition of Predaplant Verte Anaconda made Predaplant Chimerafflesia much more prominent. Predaplant Verte Anaconda was incredibly powerful if its effect uses a Fusion Spell from the deck, and thanks to Super Polymerization being a Quick-Play Spell, it can be used on the opponent’s turn.

This enables Super Polymerization to be chained to the Summon of Predaplant Verte Anaconda before it got banned. Predaplant Chimerafflesia only requires a Predaplant Monster as well as any Dark Monster, one of the most common Attributes in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! So if Predaplant Verta Anaconda ever escapes the ban list, it better be ready.

12

First Of The Dragons

Making Tokens Count

Thankfully, Tokens count as Normal Monsters, making First Of The Dragons a solid Super Polymerization target in metas with a lot of Token generators. First Of The Dragons is a deceptively powerful Fusion Monster, and hard to get rid of as most decks don’t run Normal Monsters.

First Of The Dragons can only be Fusion Summoned, and it can not be destroyed by battle except with Normal Monsters. It’s also unaffected by Monster effects, giving it tons of protection as only Spell and Trap cards can destroy it. It’s got a respectable 2700 Attack as well, giving it even more lasting power.

11

Predaplant Triphyoverutum

Getting Rid Of Darkness

Not only is it a mouthful, but Predaplant Triphyoverutum is one of the best board breakers when the opponent has a lot of Dark Monsters on their side of the field. Its materials require three Dark Monsters of any kind, although its effects utilizing Predator Counters won’t come up when used for the purposes of Super Polymerization.

What can be used is the ability to negate the Summon of a monster from the Extra Deck once per turn. Not only do you rid the field of three Dark Monsters, but you also gain access to a very powerful negation effect as well as a monster with high stats.

10

Invoked Elysium

Useable In Invoked Strategies

While Invoked Elysium isn’t the most generic card out there, it’s still very powerful. Invoked can pack a few punches in the right meta, making this a worthy card just in case. Invoked Elysium also uses the most generic materials when it comes to Invoked, requiring only an Invoked Monster, as well as a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

Even if the player using Super Polymerization isn’t playing Invoked, they can easily make an Extra Deck Monster and then use the opponent’s Invoked Monster against them. This can be useful for getting around problem monsters such as Invoked Mechaba.

9

Brotherhood Of The Fire Fist – Swan

Niche Use Against Beast-Warriors

Brotherhood Of The Fire Fist – Swan is the go-to Super Polymerization target against decks that run Beast-Warrior Monsters. The materials only require two of any Beast-Warrior Monsters, making it very generic and easy to Summon.

It can’t use any of its effects outside of a Fire Fist Deck, but it’s still a solid 2600 Attack Monster. In addition, it is a Level 8 Monster, enabling it to go into powerful Rank 8 Xyz Monsters. The biggest downside to Brotherhood Of The Fire Fist – Swan is that Beast-Warrior isn’t the most common Type, meaning it’s harder to Summon outside of certain metagames.

8

Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon

Mashing Zombies Together

A staple in Zombie Decks, Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon is a powerful and easy monster to Summon. For materials, all it requires is two Zombie Monsters. It is especially easy to Summon with Zombie World on the field, as it will make all monsters into the undead.

In addition, it comes with a useful effect, where if it attacks a monster that has a Level, the attack of that Monster becomes zero and the player attacking gets to Special Summon a Token equal to the attack and Level of that monster.

7

Earth Golem @Ignister

A Useable Target Against Maliss?

Earth Golem @Ignister is a fantastic card for going second, thanks to how its materials enable it to break popular end boards. For materials, Earth Golem @Ignister requires a Cyberse Monster and a Link Monster. Both of these are very common, and even if the opponent doesn’t have a Cyberse Monster out, it’s very easy to make one with how many Cyberse Link Monsters there are.

It also prevents damage for the rest of the turn, and if it attacks a Monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, it will double its Attack. With Maliss running rampant, it’s an interesting card to bring back to the meta.

6

Diplexer Chimera

Cyberse Monsters Be Gone!

Diplexer Chimera is a Fusion Monster that benefits greatly from so many powerful Link Monsters being Cyberse. The only materials Diplexer Chimera requires are any two Cyberse Monsters. This means Maliss is on the menu.

Its negate effect isn’t the greatest, as not many Spell or Trap cards are used in the Battle Phase anymore, and the other effect to recycle a Cyberse Monster and Cynet Fusion is only useful in dedicated builds. However, Diplexer Chimera is a useful Super Polymerization target due to its materials & it can easily get rid of monsters that disrupt or negate.

5

Magistus Chorozo

Released in Supreme Darkness, Magistus Chorozo has many different traits that make it an excellent Super Polymerization target. It only needs a Spellcaster and any monster that comes from the extra deck.

Since most boards end on some sort of Extra Deck monster, this makes its first requirement easy to mark off. Then it’s all about getting that Spellcaster requirement. Magistus Chorozo is also a Tuner, allowing it to be used for Synchro plays. It can also negate an attack and gain power to become a wall your opponent has to destroy through other means.

4

Predaplant Dragostapelia

Great For Fusion Decks With An Added Kick

Predaplant Dragostapelia continues the trend of Predaplant Monsters being generic and powerful. For materials, all Predaplant Dragostapelia needs is a Fusion Monster and a Dark Monster. Dark Monsters are incredibly easy to meet the requirement for, and Fusion Monsters, while not the most common can still be easily used in the right matchups.

Predaplant Dragostapelia also comes with a fantastic ability that can place a Predator Counter on any monster that is Level 2 or Higher. These make it a Level 1 and negate the activated effects of that monster.

3

Garura, Wings Of Resonant Life

Matching Elements

Garura, Wings of Resonant Life is a neat generic card that only requires two monsters with the same Type and Attribute. Most archetypes revolve around having matching Types and Attributes anyways, making Garura easier to Summon than it seems.

However, once you get it on the field, it also has a useful draw effect that kicks in whenever it gets sent to the graveyard. So, whether you use this card as material for a Summon or it gets popped by other means, you get to draw a card and keep your hand moving.

2

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon

A Super Poly Target, Effect Stealer, And Board Wipe

The face of Super Polymerization, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon only requires any two Dark Monsters to make. When Summoned, it gains attack equal to the attack of any Special Summoned Monster the opponent controls, adding onto its already high 2800 attack. It can also copy the effect of a Level 5 or higher monster as well as its name.

If Starving Venom Fusion Dragon gets destroyed, it can destroy all the Special Summoned Monsters on the opponent’s Field. Since Special Summoning is one of the more frequently used mechanics in the game, this can prove quite dangerous if your opponent doesn’t disarm it in time.

1

Mudragon Of The Swamp

The Most Generic And Useable Super Poly Target

Mudragon Of The Swamp is a Fusion Monster that is going to be going into any Deck running Super Polymerization. All it requires is two monsters with the same Attribute but different Types. This is an incredibly easy condition to meet, as many end boards end with monsters of varying Types.

Thanks to Link Summoning, it’s easy to match an Attribute with the opponent as well to get rid of a problem card. Mudragon Of The Swamp can also protect the player’s monsters, as it can change its Attribute and monsters of that Attribute cannot be targeted by effects.
