Condition:
Favorite HERO Flame Wingman is treated as an Elemental HERO at all times. This condition provides Favorite HERO Flame Wingman with access to support for Elemental HERO. You can create a variety of combos with cards for Elemental HERO with this fusion monster.
Therefore, Favorite HERO Flame Wingman is an Elemental HERO in all areas of the game. This condition applies to the field, extra deck, graveyard, and banishment. This condition ensures consistency for decks with Elemental HERO.
First Effect:
Favorite HERO Flame Wingman gains 1,000 attack points when an attack is declared involving this fusion monster against a monster with 2,200 or more attack points. Then, you may special summon a level four or lower monster from your hand in defense position. You may only use this effect once per turn. This effect strengthens this fusion monster in battle. Your field gains a new monster without a cost.
Therefore, Favorite HERO Flame Wingman can overcome some monsters with greater attack points than the original attack points of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman. For instance, Favorite HERO Flame Wingman can overcome monsters such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Stardust Dragon – Victim Sanctuary because Favorite HERO Flame Wingman now has 3,100 attack points after one activation of this effect. This fusion monster can be a good option when the opponent plays a monster with 2,200 or greater attack points.
In addition, the additional 1,000 ATK from this effect is a permanent increase. You can continue to increase the attack points of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman when it battles an opponent’s monster with 2,200 or greater attack points. Your fusion monster can become a powerhouse.
First Effect: Special Summon
The second part of the effect special summons a level four or lower monster from the hand. HERO has many level four or lower monsters with powerful effects. You can create many combos with Favorite HERO Flame Wingman.
For instance, Favorite HERO Flame Wingman has synergy with Elemental HERO Stratos. This fusion monster can special summon Elemental HERO Stratos from your hand. You have options with this effect monster. Elemental HERO Stratos adds a HERO from the deck to your hand or you may destroy spells and traps on the field up to the number of HERO monsters on your field except Elemental HERO Stratos when you normal summon or special summon Elemental HERO Stratos.
In addition, Elemental HERO Blazeman and Favorite HERO Flame Wingman increase the consistency for Elemental HERO. The archetype of Elemental HERO performs fusion summons and wants cards such as Polymerization in your hand. Elemental HERO Blazeman adds Polymerization from your deck to your hand when you normal summon or special summon Elemental HERO Blazeman. Favorite HERO Flame Wingman may special summon Elemental HERO Blazeman from the hand in defense position with his effect. As a result, Elemental HERO Blazeman is on the field in defense position and Elemental HERO Blazeman adds Polymerization from the deck to your hand!

Second Effect:
Favorite HERO Flame Wingman enables fusion summons during both players’ turns. Favorite HERO Flame Wingman may use monsters from your hand or field to fusion summon a monster if one or more monsters were destroyed by battle this turn. This effect is a quick-effect.
Furthermore, you may activate this effect of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman during either player’s turn. You may fusion summon a monster during the opponent’s turn after a monster was destroyed by battle during the turn. Elemental HERO Absolute Zero is a useful fusion monster to fusion summon with the effect of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman during the opponent’s turn. You will need one HERO and one water monster for the fusion summon of Elemental HERO Absolute Zero. Elemental HERO Absolute Zero destroys all of the opponent’s monsters when he leaves the field, and an opponent may be hesitant to remove this card from the field.
However, an opponent can avoid the activation of this effect. Favorite HERO Flame Wingman requires one or more monsters destroyed by battle. An opponent can strategize and use other methods to destroy monsters. Spells, traps, and monster effects can destroy monsters, and Favorite HERO Flame Wingman cannot activate this effect under those circumstances. For example, an opponent can play Tribute to the Doomed to destroy one of your monsters on the field. The effect of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman will not activate because the monster was destroyed by the card effect of Tribute to the Doomed. Therefore, an opponent can try to avoid destroying any monster by battle for the full turn until they have an option to destroy Favorite HERO Flame Wingman.

Fusion Summon:
Elemental HERO has many suitable combinations of monsters for the fusion summon of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman. Favorite HERO Flame Wingman requires two monsters of the same type and both monsters must have different attributes. Most Elemental Heroes are warriors and these monsters have a variety of attributes. A deck of Elemental HERO can consistently fusion summon Favorite HERO Flame Wingman.
For instance, Elemental HERO Solid Soldier and Elemental HERO Stratos are a great pair of fusion materials for the fusion summon of Favorite HERO Flame Wingman. You can gather many resources with this combination of fusion materials. Elemental HERO Solid Soldier can special summon Elemental HERO Stratos from the hand when you normal summon Elemental HERO Solid Soldier. In addition, Elemental HERO Stratos adds a HERO from the deck to the hand when you normal summon or special summon him. Then, you may play Polymerization to fuse Elemental HERO Solid Soldier and Elemental HERO Stratos as fusion materials and fusion summon Favorite HERO Flame Wingman! Then, this action triggers the second effect of Elemental HERO Solid Soldier, and this effect special summons a HERO from the graveyard in defense position such as Elemental HERO Stratos. As a result, Elemental HERO Stratos may add another HERO from the deck to your hand or destroy spells and traps on the field up to the number of your HERO monsters on the field except Elemental HERO Stratos.

Instant Contact is an option to special summon Favorite HERO Flame Wingman from the extra deck for the cost of 1,000 life points. Instant Contact is a spell card with the effect to special summon one level seven or lower Elemental HERO or Neo-Spacian from the extra deck. This spell ignores the summoning conditions. As a result, Instant Contact can special summon Favorite HERO Flame Wingman from the extra deck. This spell is a great option to play this fusion monster when you do not have the cards for the normal requirements in your hand.
However, Instant Contact has an additional requirement for any fusion monster being special summoned by this spell. The fusion monster such as Favorite HERO Flame Wingman is unable to attack and its effects are negated if Elemental HERO Neos is neither on your field or in your graveyard. It also returns to the extra deck at the end of the turn. You must have Elemental HERO Neos on your field or in your graveyard to properly play Favorite HERO Flame Wingman during the special summon by Instant Contact.
Magistery Alchemist is a trap and support for HERO. Magistery Alchemist banishes four monsters with HERO in their names and special summons one monster with HERO in its name from the graveyard. In addition, this trap doubles the attack points of your monster from the graveyard if you banish monsters with earth, fire, water, and wind attributes. As a result, Magistery Alchemist can special summon Favorite HERO Flame Wingman from your graveyard, and this fusion monster’s attack points double to 4,200 if you banish monsters with earth, fire, water, and wind attributes. However, you must first properly fusion summon Favorite HERO Flame Wingman in order to special summon it from the graveyard.

Matchups: Weaknesses
Every card in Yu-Gi-Oh! has at least one weakness. Favorite HERO Flame Wingman has a few weaknesses. Despite his powerful effects, opponents have options to counter this fusion monster.
For instance, Non-Fusion Area is a problematic trap card for Elemental HERO. Non-Fusion Area does not allow either player to fusion summon monsters. This trap prevents you from fusion summoning Favorite HERO Flame Wingman. You would need to destroy or negate the effects of this trap for you to resume normally playing Elemental HERO.
In addition, Effect Veiler counters Favorite HERO Flame Wingman. This effect monster is a hand trap. Effect Veiler can be sent from the hand to the graveyard during the main phase and its effect negates all of the effects of a monster such as Favorite HERO Flame Wingman until the end of the turn. An opponent can now attack this fusion monster with a stronger monster and avoid this fusion monster’s effects.
