Thus begins the last full week before Christmas!
A bright light blasts out the sixteenth door! It's Kuriphoton!
General Observation:
Kuriphoton has a damage-nullifying effect, but for a price. You have to discard it and also give up 2000 life points. However, after paying that cost, you take absolutely no damage for the rest of the turn. It's best pulled out when you still have a relatively high number of points (or a lot of effects to restore them) and you're about to take a big hit from an opponent's Monster or damaging effect. On top of that, you can discard another Photon Monster from your hand to bring Kuriphoton back there from your graveyard once per turn, meaning you could potentially use it more than once. (Especially if you have a combo to constantly restore your LP to help mitigate the cost.)
Trivia Observation:
Kuriphoton was originally exclusively printed in the Zexal Collection Tin before later appearing in Legendary Duelists: White Dragon Abyss. Its anime debut was in Episode 69 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal where it was used during the three-on-one duel where Yuma Tsukumo, Kite Tenjo, and Shark took on Dr. Faker. As it's a Photon card, it was used by Kite, whose hair this Kuriboh's spike is modeled after, much like with Yuma and Kurivolt. Its effect also differed in the anime, where instead of giving up 2000 LP, you had to give up half. (Meaning you could theoretically use it more times in a row by just continuing to halve your points.)
Personal Observation:
Another I forgot existed! Kuribohs exist in all flavors.
Kuriphoton's dashing away at lightspeed, but come back tomorrow for another Kuriboh contender on Astral's Advent Observations: The Kuriquel!
