Occult Knight



Occult Knight ( Okaruto Naito) in Japanese, is an archetype of monsters that serve as boss monsters for various decks and they were a key part in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Ω''. Various users use "Occult Knight" monsters, and there are, albeit scarce, support for them, such as "Resonance of the Occult Knights".

Style
"Occult Knight" monsters serve as signature cards for various Duelists' decks in Ω, and, like the "Apocalyptic Knights" and unlike the "Karmatic Knights", the duelist feels a strong bond towards it, and he treasures it no matter what the cost. "Occult Knight" users play a Poker Duel, and their "Occult Knight" monsters create a real shockwave to your opponent, who often falls into his chips in the Poker Duel, thus hurting him even more with the Poker Duel rules.

When an "Occult Knight" monster is Summoned, the duelist that Summons it enters in a state called Decima of Kismet, which, like the state of Decima found in "Apocalyptic Knight" duelists, makes the duelist being in sync with the monster. While in that state, the "Occult Knight" monster's attacks (or effects, if they inflict effect damage), become fiercer, thus not letting your opponent resist and, ultimately, fall into his chips, "stealing" 100 LP from him.

When their opponent Summons an "Apocalyptic Knight" or "Karmatic Knight" monster while a duelist is in the Decima of Kismet state, both duelists enter in a special state called Decima Beyond Kismet, which makes the duelists not only being in sync with the monster they control, but they gain extra knowledge about the game, meaning that they work more about their opponent's strategy, to a point that they even read their opponent's next moves.

When a duelist that controls a "Karmatic Knight" monster confronts a duelist that controls a monster that is equipped with an "Avatar Knight" Avatar monster (or that his/her "Avatar Knight" is already underneath a monster they control), both duelists enter in a special state called Decima Beyond Occult, which makes the duelists not only being in sync with the monster they control, but also becoming more and more aggressive about each other. In that state, the "Occult Knight" user uses uncanny methods (with his purpose of taking s), by throwing down chips consistently, thus stealing your opponent's LP as per the Poker Duel rules.
