Chimera has momentum so gravity shield is not a problem.

*slaps his own face*

...well, that helps. So by playing this card, the opponent really has no chance in terms of countering it if the combined damage of the Chimera's creatures would be enough to take down their health (ignoring shields, or other status ailments that the creatures are going through), excluding Sundials of course.

Hm... I already now have a counter-strategy towards these things. ;)

All you have to do is have another creature and Gravity Pull in your hand when you play this, since the game only allows one instance of Gravity Pull per side.  Also what happens if you Rewind this beast?

I assume all abilities are gone too. Replaced by gravity pull and momentum.

Rubies would be a bad idea actually.  This card gets gravity pull out of the box and rubies have 2 hp per so it would prolly die in 1 turn.  It could be good as a mass momentum for a final kill though.
I imagine that Chimera would be problematic if you were also facing Gravity Shield - by combining all the HP of each creature (unless they have low HP like Ruby Dragons or Phoenixes), they would be blocked by such shields preventing the massive health boost.

This would actually be pretty fun to use with a bunch of Elite Armagio's or Flying Titans though. There should be a contest to see who can have the 'biggest' chimera ever. :P
Momentum.

I want to test this so bad right now...

Also, this is an EPIC update. If Elements was like most other TCGs:

"Scorpion's Pendulum

The greatest elementals, led by the venerable Jmizzle7 and his sidekicks PuppyChow and Jmdt, have explored deep into the Ancient Deserts far beyond the known Elements world. After defeating hordes of deadly, unstoppable Scorpions, they barely managed to make it to the Lunar Temple in the heart of the Deserts. Here they unlocked the secrets of using the Pendulums, but not before facing a nasty Nightmarish surprise planned by the residents of the Temple...

You, too, can unlock the secrets of the Ancient Deserts this August! Jammed pack with epic cards that you'll be sure to fit into your decks. Pre-order a box of 10 booster packs, and you'll received a limited edition legendary card...the Chimera."

Rewind? Good question. I saw someone saying that PU wont work on it, too.

It doesnt look like a card to play in middle game, looks like its a card to finish the game. So, your creatures are in a stasis bubble, or congealed, and your small creatures can get through that pesky shield? Now, all your creatures will cause full damage. Game over, man, game over.

I just didnt like the art. Too much cartoon like. And this doesnt seem something that could be a 50 / 50, or even bigger. Looks much more a 1/2 mutant mosquito from Mars, with a big eye and a small mouth. No thorns, no paws, no scorpion tail, no more than 1 head...?

Figure I should help some with the confusion here.

-  When Rewind'd, your entire offense is lost and the Chimera goes back into your deck, like normal.

-  When PU'd, the old Chimera is destroyed when the new one is made.  Only one Chimera on your side of the field.

-  No death effects will be activated at any time with Chimera.

-  If you play one Chimera, play additional creatures, and then play another Chimera, all stats will be added to the new Chimera, including the old Chimera.

-  If you cast Gravity Pull on another creature while Chimera is out, Chimera will lose Gravity Pull's effect.

I cannot think of any others at the moment.

Chimera+Aether Pendulum+ Armagio +Fractal. I wanna build a giant Chimera.
Just imagine facing a flying titan deck that utilizes this with Mind Gate... You could potentially get out over 30 titans and use Chimera....
Of course a set up like that would probably have to be rigged to work properly.


And dragoon, where are you getting your info, as of literally 2 minutes ago it wasnt in the trainer

Yeah, I expected something with several heads for chimera as well.  Mutant mosquito from Mars is a good lolz description of the current art.

There's enough D&D references in the game, Zanz, lol.
