Dragon Rider, King Arthur

ExCALIBUR and CALIBURnus are the same sword. It's just two renderings of the same name; the former in Old French and the latter in Latin, a very similar language. The original name was Caledfulch; it means to "to cleave steel." (I always wondered if it was where the Old French word "voulge" comes from...)

That being said, Excalibur alternatively came from the Stone and the Lady of the Lake. Some attempts to reconcile the story have been made. (The LotL gave him the sword, then he placed it in the stone to prove it was him a la Odysseus. Or the original Sword in the Stone broke and was replaced by the LotL.)

To clarify, Arthur was known to have 3 weapons that were "given from God". Excalibur and Caliburn were not included. It was his dagger, Carnwennan, his spear, rhongomiant, and his blade Caledfwlch. Caliburn was the sword in the stone and Excalibur was given to him by the lady of the lake.

Arthur is only holding one sword, presumably Excalibur. The other two swords are held by his dragon.

Not true actually, some believe that The Sword in the Stone and the sword given by the Lady of the Lake are two different blades, both generally referred to as Excalibur. Some refer to the Sword in the Stone as Caliburn.

unfortunately one or both of his "Excalibur" is a fake, everyone knows Excalibur is A sword not swords

If I remember correctly, Excalibur came from the stone, then he gave it to the Lady of the Lake, who returned it to him later when he needed it again.

So since they changed the max cool down when are skill ups coming back.. I now have 4 riders that need 1 more skill up 😒

Fascinating! Why do you know all of this history? Are you merely interested in it or is it part of your work?

Attackerasu! Wooooooo

This guy is a sniper with a big gun who makes his own ammo. Give him two 3.5x unconditional ATK leaders plus 2x ATK active skill, light orbs enhancer, 4 orb row and any extra combos you can spare, 99 plus ATK eggs and he will blast anything. It is over 55x from leader, active and TPA alone. Even a regular 3x ATK leader will give him 45x. He fits in a lot of teams. If you have him, max him.

That's definitely an option.

Good for LKali as well I've heard. TPAs, Dark subattribute, and an ever-useful orb change.

Great plan, but he/we are looking for a line-up - not a concept.

This is an old post but for anyone who just got him (like me) and is also wondering where he would be useful I'll answer it. As an attacker and dragon that is light and dark He would make an ideal Satsuki sub. Actually, he's a great sub for many GFEs. Love how this game keeps evolving to make seemingly outdated subs like King Arthur useful again.

Here's my list of good teams for him:

Satsuki
Attackerasu
Dark Metatron (not ideal)
Ilm
Guan Yu (both)
Sakuya (love Awoken Sakuya!)
Awoken Venus
Leilan
Superman
L/D Batman
Apocalypse
Tsubaki
L Kali
Thor
Fagan
Horus

Definitely Revo Indra/Revo Vritra!

Looking at how he changes dark orbs to light and heart orbs to dark, I'd go for meimei.

they werent meant to be leaders :D they either update awakes :D or leader skill :D usualy not both :D HOEPFULLY YOU FIGURE THIS OUT BY NOW :D ELSE YOU R HEATHEN :D :D :D ROFL :D :D

edit- lol, sent a message to you that was meant for another.

yeah, I think he could make for a great dragon team sub. i recently pulled two apocalypses form the REM about a month ago and haven't had much use for them considering i don't have any decent or great dragon subs, but now that i got this about a week ago i'm 100% leveling him up and going to get a team going for dragon only dungeons and other occasions.

Learn to math, "said the idiot". I suggest you learn how to use grammar before trying to talk sh*t.

Learn to math? Learn to speak.

yeah.... that's not how it works... learn to math
his leader skill is 2.5x
if you have two of them thats 6.25
if and only if you clear 4 orbs of his color you get 1.5x on 2 enemies
since you have two that should be 2.25x
total is 14.0625x

so if your attack is 1000 say thats pretty much 14k damage
that's not gonna put a dent in zeus

which is not nearly as good as getting a big combo with row enhances and leader skills of 3.5x let alone any of the higher ones

and still worse when compared to the use of king baddie or similar along with the 12.25x teams

all in all he isn't as good as he should be given he requires a twinlit and is REM exclusive

that said he makes a decent attacker team sub (not leader) that needs dark and light orbs but there are much better choices for stats

While the riders probably aren't good leaders... they're AMAZING subs and necessities for any two prong team... Drake on Cao Cao... Marine on Green Zhuge Liang.... Hell... I put Arthur and athena on my max skill Purin team and that sweeps every stage... They dish out about 400k+ damage each with just one 4 orb match and a few combos. The best part about rider actives is they always give you enough but never too many so you can't activate the two prong.

You definitely can't bypass an evolution. You need dragon rider arthur before you can ultimate evolve him to King Arthur.

I will say right now, if you managed to get all the materials for this ultimate evolution but you can't easily obtain the divine mask yourself, don't bother wasting the materials on the ultimate evo. The +10 cost is huge at low ranks, and this is not a major improvement over his unevolved form. It's meant to be a small late-game improvement, and if you can't manage to beat the Expert level evo material dungeons, you should be more focused on progressing in rank and getting more monsters to fill out your teams.

He also changes Heal to Dark so he could work as a sub for a Dark/Attacker team despite not being primary Dark att.

As for Light/Attacker leaders, there's Amaterasu or Thor (TPA or rows). Viable subs include Athena, Arthur, Deathstroke, Jeanne d' Arc, Fuu, Flash, Superman, Kanetsugu, and Baal. That Takaoka bowl of udon also got an Attacker subtype but not in EN yet.

I ended up rolling him, and with that, my reign of terror begins.

Just Rolled him, will fit fine with attackeresu, athena, flash and a wildcard (wonder woman, lilith, hanzo, anubis, another athena ??)

I need him to complete my TPA L.Kali team! L.Kali, LZL, Chibi Yomi, Athena, King Arthur! Double two prongs on all but yomi who has 1. Pop yomi to guarantee as many TPA with Light Orb enhance would be killer nuke! Using Izanagi for now

Dude! I use him on my LKali team too. My team is:
LKali
Mini Metatron
Hermes
Mini Yomi
Arthur

I'm glad someone else is using a similar team.

YES. He is practically made for attackerasu.

It means when you match a group of four orbs, Arthur's (and all the riders, for that matter) will increase their ATK by 2.25x damage rather than 1.5x. Arthur's base ATK with 4 light orbs is effectively 3503 at max level, or a hefty 1051 for his sub element if you match 4 dark orbs.

Wait, doesn't it cause them to unleash multiple attacks, though? I've never fully understood how it worked, and I assumed it was only possible to have one multi-prong attack at once. I thought it meant that matching 4 orbs would unleash a mini-multi attack (whereas 5 hits the whole board, this only hits up to 2 monsters)?

im sure about the atk multiplier but what about the # of targets? THAT is the main question.

Toying with this in the endless dungeon.

So this is how it works (only a single TPA, need more tamadras...): When linking orbs you take your base attack of the monster, and multiply that base by 1.25 with 4 orbs, x1.5 for 5 orbs, x1.75 for 6 etc. With TPA, when linking 4 orbs, and only 4 orbs, you multiply the base attack by 1.25 then by 1.5.

So in short, the TPA bonus is applied to that single orb link, which is added to the monsters building attack, all before the combo bonuses and leader skills are applied.

Also, incase anyone was curious, I mathed the row enhances as well.if you have 4 row enhancers, when you match a row it eill add 40% at the end at the same time as leader skills.

It's not a hard concept to grasp. Match 4 light orbs, and with his awakenings, you'll do 2.25x attack and hit two targets. It doesn't matter how many monsters there are, you will hit two. The only thing that isn't well-explained by the game creator is if you match 5 orbs, will you still get the 2.25x boost to the mass attack or just a regular mass attack.

Five riders, all attackers, 3 subtype devil and 2 subtype dragon. Designed to one hit things breaking through defense. Can fit in any team, no matter the color as they can make their own out of hearts. Any teams would welcome them and three teams are getting them. Attackers get them all, Devils get 3 of them and Dragons get two. Now for the colors: How should we split them? Well, out of the three basic colors we give two for devils, one for dragons and out of the two special colors we give one for devils and one for dragons. Perfect.
As for a dark/light dragon team take your pick. REM: Indra, Apocalypse, Dragon Shogun, Cursed Wyrm, Arthur, Shining Dragon Knight, Grape, Wee Jas. Non REM: CDK Voice, Zaerog, Mech Dragon, Rippers, Late Bloomers...

As for why this card is not that type which translates into why this card does not fit my team, just store it in your box (costs 0.2 stones) and wait for when you start a team of that type. That is what I did with Marine Rider.

DRAGON Rider, King Arthur

Man... look at the name of this monster! It is 'DRAGON' rider king arthur. Now, It make sense right??

How about tengu (mountain GOD, no god type), or orochi (demon, no devil type) or valkyrie from goddess descend..name doesn't mean anything so give me a better reason why a light dark had to be dragon. Or give me a team?

Dude go to orochi's page, read his name and then tell me he isn't devil. Hell he is a "evil" creature but still just a god. Don't come in here being stupid. What good does it do for him to be a dragon......exactly

The Devil Fish isn't a devil. It is an attacker. So, settle down.

If you run a dmeta team he IS worth the twinlit

Even then, Gryps Rides is still a better choice. There's no reason for Arthur to exist.

Double two-prong + attacker + light is pretty nice. I personally wouldn't run on Dmeta, but I'd like to have this guy.

Seems like a decent uevo, but as far as angelits go, Yomi and lilith have called dibs...

Yeap! It depends on your decision. however, remember you will use twinlit for him anyway because sometimes twinlits are useless.

L. Kali heartily disagrees with you.

1. i got 2 twinlits from the PEM. 2. i prefer this guy over gryps rider cause looks and dragon types
