To summon Shooting Quasar Dragon in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, run Yusei Fudo with the skill A Bond Illuminating the Future and open with Junk Synchron alongside graveyard setup cards like Junk Converter. Because Speed Duels restrict the board to three monster zones, you cannot fulfill Quasar's requirement—one Tuner Synchro Monster plus two or more non-Tuner Synchro Monsters equaling Level 12—through standard Synchro climbing alone. Yusei's skill bypasses this zone bottleneck by placing intermediate Synchro materials directly onto your board and into the Graveyard.
Skill Setup: A Bond Illuminating the Future
A standard Delta Accel Synchro requires fielding three separate Synchro Monsters simultaneously, which exceeds normal zone limits when manually summoning intermediate pieces.
A Bond Illuminating the Future solves this constraint:
- Reveal a Tuner monster from your hand to trigger the skill.
- The skill sends a Dragon Synchro Monster (such as Stardust Dragon) directly from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard.
- It places the Level 2 Tuner Synchro Monster, Formula Synchron, onto your field without consuming a manual Synchro Summon.
- It adjusts material levels, allowing your remaining field slots to hold the two non-Tuner Synchro Monsters required for the Level 12 summon.
Core Synchron Deck Engine
You can assemble the required engine using cards from Structure Deck: Stardust Nexus and regular Box Chips rather than digging through multiple Main Boxes.
| Card Name | Role | Acquisition Source |
|---|---|---|
| Junk Synchron | Level 3 Tuner; normal summon revives a Level 2 monster from the Graveyard. | Structure Deck: Stardust Nexus / Box Chips |
| Junk Converter | Level 2 Effect; discards with a Tuner to search Junk Synchron, then revives a Tuner when used as Synchro material. | Structure Deck: Stardust Nexus |
| Doppelwarrior | Level 2 Effect; special summons from hand when a monster is revived from the Graveyard and spawns two Level 1 tokens upon leaving the field as Synchro material. | Main Box / Dream Ticket |
| Jet Synchron | Level 1 Tuner; acts as discard fodder and revives itself from the Graveyard. | Mini Box / SR Ticket |
| Tuning | Normal Spell; searches any Synchron Tuner and mills one card. | Structure Deck: Stardust Nexus / Main Box |
| Shooting Quasar Dragon | Level 12 Synchro Boss; provides an omni-negate, multiple attacks, and floats into Shooting Star Dragon. | Special Event / Pulse of the Kerykeion |
Step-by-Step Summoning Combo
To avoid locking your three monster zones with unneeded tokens or low-level materials, resolve your search and revival triggers in this specific sequence:
- Discard for search: Activate Junk Converter from your hand, discarding it alongside a secondary Tuner (such as Jet Synchron) to search your deck for Junk Synchron.
- Normal Summon Junk Synchron: Normal summon Junk Synchron and activate its on-summon effect, targeting Junk Converter in your Graveyard to revive it.
- Trigger Doppelwarrior: Chain Doppelwarrior's effect from your hand to the revival, special summoning it to your third available zone.
- Synchro Summon Level 5: Tune Junk Synchron (Level 3) with Junk Converter (Level 2) to Synchro Summon a Level 5 non-Tuner, such as Stardust Charge Warrior.
- Resolve material chains: Junk Converter revives a Tuner from your Graveyard, and Doppelwarrior spawns two Level 1 Doppel Tokens onto your cleared zones.
- Activate the skill: Use A Bond Illuminating the Future to field Formula Synchron and manipulate your remaining field materials into your second non-Tuner Synchro Monster.
- Perform Delta Accel Synchro: With Formula Synchron and two non-Tuner Synchro Monsters occupying your three zones, tune all three together to summon Shooting Quasar Dragon.
Boss Capabilities and Disruption Protection
Shooting Quasar Dragon establishes both immediate offensive pressure and defensive control:
- Offensive pressure: Quasar enters with 4000 ATK and can attack a number of times equal to the non-Tuner materials used for its summon (at least two attacks in this setup), generating up to 8000 potential battle damage.
- Omni-negation: Once per turn during either player's turn, Quasar can negate the activation of a spell, trap, or monster effect and destroy that card.
- Floating effect: If Quasar leaves the field, its effect allows you to special summon Shooting Star Dragon (3300 ATK) directly from your Extra Deck.
Protecting the Normal Summon
The entire combo depends on your normal summon resolving cleanly. If an opponent interrupts Junk Synchron with staple cards such as Book of Moon, Warning Point, or Effect Veiler, the summon line stops entirely.
To safeguard your plays:
- Include Quick-Play protection such as Forbidden Lance to shield Junk Synchron from targeted backrow upon entry.
- When going second, clear face-down threats with Cosmic Cyclone or Mystical Space Typhoon before committing your normal summon.
- Monitor your field space closely; never summon extra Doppel Tokens if they will prevent Formula Synchron or your second non-Tuner Synchro Monster from entering the field.
