"Humongous Hive Hegemon - Zexstagger" Rating Score by みめっと

One of the 2022 fall VJ appendix cards that appeared after Beetrooper's visit to Japan and his enhancement of Insect in the regular pack.
The attractiveness of this monster is that it's the highest grade Insect that allows you to SS from your hand under fairly loose conditions.
Regarding the effect that you can SS from your hand in response to the SS of Insect regardless of whether it is your own or your opponent, there are many opportunities to activate it due to the recent increase in Insect cards that can SS you and other Insect monsters. Some of them can be searched by Resonant Insects, and there are Dozer and Neptune that are the same level 8 as this monster, so you can use it even if you want to put out a rank 8X monster in the Insect Deck.
On the other hand, the ability to strengthen his ATK in proportion to the number of his Insects in the field other than himself has a small benefit because his ATK is originally low, and there is no particular resistance, so it is an attacker or kept in the field. It is not very suitable for doing things, and is more suitable as a material worker for Special Summon.
In addition, during each other's end phase, each player demonstrates the ability to Special Summon one Insect from their own hand or GY to their own field, but the development is slow with the end phase, and the effect of the Insect issued is negate. Since there are few things you can do on your own turn, and it is difficult to keep it on the field, you want to use it as a material for Special Summon, but since it is activated in the end phase, it will be effective if you use it as a material. It is very difficult to use
Furthermore, even though I can't force my Insect on the opponent's field, I somehow gave the opponent the right to Special Summon my Insect on the field, and Insect has the ultimate hand trigger called increased G. There is a high possibility that this will be used due to the fact that it will be used, especially if you can throw increased G at the self-SS effect that was activated on your turn, the draw will be used as a material for Special Summon in the turn of the counterattack. It's the worst because I'm going to offer it.
If you want to somehow use your own SS or other effects to SS during the opponent's turn and activate the effect during the opponent's end phase, Stingy will be a good partner for that.
This monster + Stingy + Special Summoned Insect during the End Phase + Insect put into play on the return turn. If you have 4 to 5 monsters on the field, you can reach his ATK of 3000 by self-buffing. It's not difficult, and I think there are scenes where the total number of hits in the field exceeds 8000.
The recent VJ appendix cards have continued to have monsters with a quality that is neither good nor bad, and I thought that there would be no monsters below 《Aileron》this year, but this monster also has a non-self SS ability. I think that is pretty tough as much as 《Aileron》.
