Gladiator Beast Hoplomus →Used Deck

He is a Gladiator Beast with a rhinoceros form and is known for his high defensive power, but his ATK is low.
The reverse side set invites the opponent's attack and makes it fight
Nowadays, the usefulness of the anti-battle wall has decreased considerably, but at that time, it was still possible to parry Cyber Dragon.
As a low-level wall that can use the recruit effect of Gladiator Beast, it has exceptional specs and is excellent.
There was also a Control Deck that would become [Rock Swordfight], send this card with Catapult Zone to prevent battle destruction, and then revive it with Gladiator Beast Darius to get an ad.
Now that he's faster and less valuable in combat, he's just treated as a second-tier player in Gladiator Beast.

A robust Gladiator Beast bodyguard. He is good enough because he is easy to use.
With a base defensive power of 2100, being able to stop the rampaging 《Cyber Dragon》class is a big advantage. Due to changes in the environment, the stability has fallen compared to before, but since there are few Gladiator Beasts with high defensive power, they are not useless.
It would be nice to share the support for combat assistance properly.
As a drawback, first of all, there is only one thing that the original effect becomes 2400 defense. Although it's a numerical change that isn't an up, it's originally 2100, and due to the conditions, it's a face-up 2400, so the situations where this effect can be used effectively are quite limited.
Another drawback is that ATK is too low, making it difficult to actively fight. Of course, Gladiator Beast's category support can be used, but his ATK, which is less than 1000 alone, is quite painful.
Also, it is an essential card to Special Summon 《Gladiator Beast Spartacus》. It has the advantage of being able to switch between ATK and defense, so it's not a bad matchup. Fighting equipment can also be used in its own way.
If you use 《Gladiator Beast Spartacus》, you have to put hoplomus anyway.
It's less stable than when it first appeared, but it's still an excellent card that can be used in some way.

Comprehensive evaluation: There may be an opportunity to use the effect if it is placed as a wall, but it is slow as expected.
With a defense of 2100, it is high among the lower ranks, and it is not only impossible to break through the 《Cyber Dragon》line, but it can also be destroyed by the Recruit effect.
However, there are many monsters with higher ATK than that, and the reliability as a wall decreases.
It's better to put out something that can move on your turn.

One of the low-class Gladiator Beast monsters that many people have seen in Yu-Gi-Oh Online before Synchro Summoning was introduced.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh Online specifications back then, I liked the spooky SE that felt like an evil monster appeared when the monster was being special summoned by her, such as the production when the monster was sacrificed.
With its high defensive power, it can easily be used to recruit Gladiator Beasts while withstanding the opponent's attacks, but unless you're outnumbered, setting a monster with the Gladiator Beast Deck and handing over your opponent's turn can be a bit overwhelming. Even from the opponent's point of view, passing the turn with a monster in Defense Position against the Gladiator Beast Deck is a bad move that gives this low ATK monster and Murmillo a chance to prepare an attack target and use the Recruit effect. Since it is an extremely extreme action, I have the impression that it was not easy for this monster to use the Recruit effect as a result.
At that time, it was one of the low-level Gladiator Beasts that was useful as a monster to recruit from Geysereth along with Raquel because it could withstand attacks from Sidera with its natural defense and Equite and tanks had not yet appeared. It's worth nothing more than being a must for recruiting Tix, and since that Spartix isn't used at all, it feels like this monster's rating is going down.
Conversely, if you use Sparticus, it's a monster you need, so it's worth giving this level of score.

A card left behind by inflation. As expected, 2400 defensive power alone is not enough.

I used to want to have one, but now I can't.

It has high defensive power as a lower class, and it used to be a good card, but due to changes in the environment, a mere blocker has no value anymore.
Speaking of its unique advantage, it's the key to Sparticus, but it's not a high-priority existence along with its related card, the Fighting Equipment (or more specifically, since this card was in active service), and it's hard to say it's a strength.
I can't deny that I'm sorry for the role because I've been left behind by inflation.

Rather than fighting by myself, I had an image that I would mainly lie down and switch to the opponent's turn with reflected damage. It's pretty easy to break through the 2100 barrier these days, so I think it's a little tough to use this card on the assumption that it's a card like Reconciliation.

He is a Gladiator Beast who can become a wall monster with 2400 defense.
The original defensive power is also 2100 and medium. Indispensable when using Sparticus.

It's easy to break the 2100 line now, but it's often not a wall.
Of course, the merit of returning the attack by repelling and recruiting is great,

As a lower class, it has high defensive power and if you inadvertently attack the back defense, it will be connected to the following and the field will be destroyed.
The defensive power increase effect when recruiting is a visible mine, so I feel like it doesn't work much.
If the deck is exposed, the lower grades will not hit the set, so if you still want to activate the effect, you need support such as reconciliation and contraction.

A card that can be said to be the wall of Gladiator Beast.
By receiving an attack from a lower class monster in the set state
It is excellent that it can be connected to recruitment
He is effective against monsters with ATK 1900 or more, which is broken by Raquel.
However, if you know that it is a Gladiator Beast, you will be wary of the existence of this card.
If you actively use it, you can say that 《Waboku》etc. are necessary.
If you're worried about Raquel, it might be a bad idea to recruit here.

A defensive card in "Gladiator Beast". It's a material for "Spartix", but since it's a card that isn't used very often, you can use it as a "Gladiator Beast" with excellent status. It's not a bad card to have in your first hand, but since it doesn't become a minefield once it's called [Gladiator Beast], it's surprisingly difficult to use.

Since it has a high defensive power, I would like to aim to recruit it from a set, but since it's easier to get a large card out, it's easier to break through even with this card's defense.
There is also the fact that this guy is a monster set in sword fighting.

Stable starting set. Potential base for the unstable Gladiator Beast. A card that can be released for the time being. You can call Sparticus depending on the situation.
Recently, I don't put an ape in, so I'm worried that it's obvious even if I lie down.

Because of the Rock, it can cost Catapult Zone.
"Catapult Zone" is an effect that works well with her Gladiator Beast, so it can be used, and if you use it, this card will naturally be included.
In addition, the point that defense power is usually high is an advantage.
His thematic Gladiator Beast also has the advantage of being able to call Sparticus.

A rock sword key card. It's easy to revive, salvage, and deck bounce, so it works great with 《Catapult Zone》.
Also, if you want to use Spartix, it's a must.

Gladiator Beast's trusty wall.
It's ok as long as you fight, so it's perfect as a wall role for the first move.
Also, the 2400 is quite large as a wall to be placed for the time being when it is separated from Geyserless.
A Gladiator Beast that will come in handy if you put a pin in it.

The motif is a heavily armed gladiator. Hence Rock.
Mainly ambushes with a set and works as a mine that triggers recruiting if the opponent accidentally pokes it.
Due to its nature, the feeling of security when it comes to the first hand is more than Raquel, but the taste of Special Summon is less and it is difficult to use at the last minute. Recently, there are many cards that surpass 2100 defensive power in the first hand, and it must be said that the reliability has fallen like Raquel.
If it's a swordfight operation as a mine, there is also a way to use "Waboku"...
It won't be a core, but the number of sword fights isn't that many, so is it possible to adopt a few?

The main defense of the Gladiator Beast.
It's reassuring to be able to guard up to the Saidra class without being summoned by an effect.
