Likewise, an Xyz Summon requires 2 or more monsters with the same Level, so Xyz Summoning any Monster that isn’t Rank 6 is likewise impossible. For Synchro Summons, because Contact “C” is Level 6, this makes Synchro Summoning a Level 6 or lower monster impossible without a way of changing Contact “C”’s Level. This doesn’t have the same absolute stopping power as Flying “C”, but in most situations, your opponent will be forced to make a change of plans in order to work around Contact “C”.įor a Fusion Summon, there’s only a small number of Fusion Monsters can use Contact “C” as a Fusion Material. It shares Flying “C”’s activation condition, but while Flying “C” outright stops only Xyz Summoning, Contact “C” forces your opponent to use Contact “C” as a Material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link Summon. When your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster, you can Special Summon this Insect from your hand to your opponent’s field in face-up Defense Position. That 1500 ATK is perfect since it’s the highest ATK that still makes it searchable with Retaliating “C”’s and Sangan’s effects. Now, in Extreme Force, a new kind of Insect will infest the field: introducing Contact “C”!Ĭontact “C” is a Level 6 EARTH Insect with 1500 ATK and 2200 DEF. No matter when type of monster lineup your opponent has, there’s an Insect that can stop it.
Flying “C” flies into Duelists’ Side Decks whenever an Xyz Summon-heavy strategy becomes popular, and Retaliating “C” became the pick of choice when Spell-based Special Summoning (like Ritual Summoning a Nekroz monster) was all over the place.
The “C” monsters have been mainstays of competitive play for years: Maxx “C” has been a part of tournament-winning Decks for years and is currently on the Limited List. The “C” line of Insects are monsters that pop out of nowhere whenever monsters are being Summoned to the field.
