Yu-Gi-Oh: 10 Most Powerful HERO Cards

10. Destiny HERO - Dystopia

The signature monster of ARC-V's iteration of Aster Phoenix, the franchise's second best known HERO user could really have done with this card during his run in the GX era. It's material requirement is very generous, needing only two Destiny HERO monsters to pop out of the extra deck. A 2800 ATK beat stick is good on its own, but it's effect gives it real shine.

Firstly, when summoned it can inflict damage to your opponent equal to the attack of any Destiny HERO already in the GY, provided it's level 4 or lower. Take a level 4 like Celestial, easily used for the fusion summon, and that's an easy 1600 damage already dealt to an opponent (potentially on the first turn). Additionally, the monster stays in the GY, so guys like Celestial need not be sacrificed and can still pop their effects later on!

It's second effect is where it rules the duel. While it's ATK is altered, you can destroy a card on the field at the cost of resetting any alterations. Using cards like Dread Decimator, Sunrise, Honest Neos or Dynatag, this can be done in a heartbeat, and can let you take dangerous monsters and face-down's off your opponent's board whenever you fancy. While Dystopia is not in every HERO deck, he gives fantastic field control to the ones he does grace.
