First Effect:

You can only have one Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess on the field. This limitation prevents multiple copies of this card negating multiple cards of the opponent. You must wisely activate this Link Monster’s effects.

Second Effect:

The original ATK of Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess becomes 800 times the number of materials for the Link Summon. This Link Monster requires four materials for her Link Summon. She gains a respectable amount of ATK.

Therefore, Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess has a total of 3,200 ATK when you use four materials for her Link Summon. She has the potential to destroy many monsters in battle. She can inflict massive damage from a director attack of 3,200 points of damage.

Third Effect:

Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess negates a monster’s effect once per chain at the cost of losing 800 ATK. It is an useful effect against the best monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!. This Link Monster counters the opponent’s strategy or the opponent’s attempt to counter your strategy. 

Furthermore, you may activate the third effect of Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess multiple times per turn if you can afford the cost. You may activate the effect during either player’s turn. It is available for your advantage.

However, the third effect of Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess has limitations. She has 3,200 ATK, and her ATK offers four activations of this effect. You must activate the ability at wise moments against the opponent. 

Due to the effect’s weakness of decreasing the ATK of Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess, the best strategy is using this Link Monster as material for a Link Summon. Link Monsters do not have DEF. Your life points becomes vulnerable when her ATK deceases to zero. Any monster can easily destroy her in battle, and a monster with a large amount of ATK will inflict massive damage to you.

Support:

Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess is a good Link Monster in a deck for fairies. Fairies offer the most support for this card. This type of monster is able to consistently play this card for the extra deck.

Megamorph is the perfect equip spell for Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess. Megamorph resets this Link Monster’s ATK due to it doubles the original ATK of this Link Monster. It is a useful spell because this Link Monster reduces her ATK to negate the effects of an opponent’s monster. She regains her attack points with Megamorph.

Card Rating:

Overall, Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess is a stellar Link Monster, and she is one of the best Link Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Her true value lays within her third effect. She effective negates the opponent’s monsters’ card effects once per chain. She has a strong offense when her ATK is at its full potential. Therefore, I recommend playing three copies of Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess in your deck with fairies.
