Rescueroid ———————————————— When a "roid" monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can return that monster to its owner's hand. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Power of the Duelist (POTD-EN011), Starter Deck: Syrus Truesdale (YSDS-EN0119)
Vehicroids started with not real objective on their debut, as despite appearing during a time where Fusion Summons were getting improvements they took them a while to approach that strategy. Monsters in the archetype can go from battle effects to card management, not having a fully consistent sinergy with each other but allows them to be diverse against all sorts of situations. So while Fusion Summons are still the main goal of the archetype, Vehicroids can work arround all kinds of strategies either together or added in other themes and builds.
"Rescueroid" is an odd monster as carries poor stats for its Level, yet provides a recovery effect to assist the archetype with. When a Roid of ours is defeated in battle, "Rescueroid" will allow us to bring it back to the hand instead of staying in our Graveyard. This by default let us to keep a solid hand when confronting any threats in any Battle Phase, but "Rescueroid" also offers some interesting mechanics to work along with as well a Fusion Monster to not depend solely on its pressence.
"Rescueroid" has no much assistance to be on the field immediately, but the options available are sufficient nonetheless. Thanks to its Fusion form "Ambulance Rescueroid", cards like "Fusion Conscription" and "Fusion Reserve" will add it to our hand with ease. Some other options will let us summon it straight from our Deck, like "Machine Armored Unit" replacing a Machine with "Rescueroid" upon defeat or "Chaos-End Master" bring it out after he takes down a monster in battle. When comes to the Graveyard "Rescueroid" won't be less supported, as by the mere summon of "Expressroid" or by working along copies of itself will be returned back to our hand.
The purpose of "Rescueroid" is simply to make players' Battle Phases safer to recover against. If the opponent brings a stronger monster than our Roids or they answer our attacks with stat boosts, "Rescueroid" will bring them back to our hand to be summoned back afterwards. Keep on mind that this ability doesn't affect only Vehicroids but any card with Roid in their name like "Dark Jeroid", "Magical Android", or the entire Speedroid archetype. Things will be faster to recover if we accompany "Rescueroid" along "Ambulanceroid", a Vehicroid which will immediately summon any monster returned to our hand by the former's effect. Don't forget that "Rescueroid" is a vulnerable monster in several aspects, so try to work along effects like "Mist Body" or "Carrierroid" among many others to protect it and keep its effect working.
"Rescueroid" has an interesting premise to work arround it, but has several flaws to become a steady setup in every Duel. Being a high Level monster with poor stats is the most obvious, not only requiring extra effort to summon it but is not that difficult to take down before its effect has any use. Things are worse once we mention its Fusion "Ambulance Rescueroid", as not only has a faster effect to retrieve defeated Roids but is much easier to summon thanks to cards like "King of the Swamp" and "Vehicroid Connection Zone" assisting us. So while "Rescueroid" has some solid functions against various threats and combos to work along with, has too many weaknesses that makes working on its Fusion instead way more profitable.
Personal Rating: D+
+ Returns any Roid defeated in battle back to our hand + Various setups and monsters to work along with
- Low stats yet high Level - Very easy to take down unless with heavy support - "Ambulance Rescueroid" is a safer and faster alternative to work with
