First Effect:
The name of Archfiend’s Manifestation becomes Summoned Skull on the field, and it is also an Archfiend. This effect provides consistency through this fusion monster’s name. It has access to Summoned Skull’s support.
In addition, this effect complements the second effect. Archfiend’s Manifestation adds 500 ATK from its second effect due to the change in its name to Summoned Skull. You gain the full benefits from this fusion monster’s effects.
Second Effect:
Archfiend’s Manifestation adds 500 ATK to all of your Summoned Skulls on the field. This effect strengthens the offense on the field. Summoned Skull’s original ATK is 2,500 on the level of the Dark Magician and it becomes 3,000 ATK with this effect. An ATK of 3,000 is on the level of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Furthermore, multiple monsters in the archetype change their names to Summoned Skull on the field. These cards are Archfiend’s Awakening and Archfiend’s Call. They gain 500 ATK from this effect.
In addition, Archfiend’s Manifestation also benefits from its effect. The ATK of Archfiend’s Manifestation becomes 3,000. You have a strong fusion monster in terms of offense on the field.
Multiple copies of Archfiend’s Manifestation create a strong offense and a potential victory in a single turn. This effect also stacks ATK if you have multiple copies of Archfiend’s Manifestation on the field. Your Summoned Skulls may gain up to 1,500 ATK if you have three copies of Archfiend’s Manifestation on the field.
Third Effect:
Archfiend’s Manifestation special summons Summoned Skull from the hand, deck, or graveyard if this fusion monster is sent to the graveyard by an opponent’s card. You may regain the fusion material for the card. This effect replaces this fusion monster.
Therefore, you recover a monster for the field. This special summon of Summoned Skull ensures your field to have protection. You can use Summoned Skull as material for another summon.
However, an opponent can get around this effect. An opponent may banish Archfiend’s Manifestation from the field. This tactic prevents the activation of this fusion monster’s third effect.
