Chimeratech Overdragon - Attack monsters and then attack directly?
Some of the people at my local tourney say that they have checked the ruling on 'Chimertech Overdragon' (I don't know where) and claim that it states that the monster can attack as many monsters up to the number of fusion parts that were used in the fusion summon and then when there are no more monsters it still has it's 'original attack' to attack direct, having used 'effect' attacks to attack the monsters. Is this true? And if so why?
Answer:
They were incorrect. "Chimeratech Overdragon" (COD, we'll call him for short), gets to attack 1 MONSTER for each Fusion Material monster used to Fusion Summon it. That's it. That's all it gets. It cannot attack directly after that, because free bonus attacks do not materialize out of thin air in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.
"Chimeratech Overdragon" does not get "X number of attacks" (like "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei"), so that shouldn't be an issue. Nor is there any provision on the card to have COD's attacks on monsters replace / supplant /supercede / be instead of its normal attack. Nor does it say this is in addition to its normal attack.
COD can attack a bunch of monsters. That's it. It's done for the turn. It can no more attack directly after that than my "Gemini Elf" could attack again after it destroys a monster. It's done.
For those pointing to "Asura Priest", that was a friendly reminder text to avoid confusion, since it was first of its kind. Note that "Ulimate Tyranno" doesn't have a friendly reminder either. Nor does
"Elemental Hero Wildedge". Nor does "Diffusion Wave-Motion", etc.
