Combined with Dragonbind’s built-in Distant Counter and dragon effectiveness, Legendary Roy’s exceptional mix of good Attack, high Speed, and solid all-around bulk grants him an immense amount of versatility in the way that he can function. This build aims to capitalize on just that and transform him into a formidable duelist capable of taking on a variety of different threats in both phases. Assets to either of his offensive stats are highly recommended to maximize his combat prowess, with a Speed Asset being the slightly preferable option of the two to supplement his ability to reliably perform and deny follow-up attacks.

Legendary Roy has several choices for his Special with this build, with those that possess a 3-turn cooldown being his most effective options when making use of the Heavy Blade or Flashing Blade seal -- provided that he can perform a follow-up attack and that his opponent can counterattack, this combination enables him to consistently activate such Specials in each round of combat and attain considerable offensive power. Bonfire will generally be his best option, scaling well his reasonable base Defense stat of 32, though Luna can also be considered to cleave through physically bulky foes. Blue Flame offers Legendary Roy a stronger and more consistent boost to his damage output than either of the aforementioned options, however, maintaining its adjacency requirement can prove to be quite troublesome in the Player Phase, forcing him to take a more defensively oriented playstyle in order to consistently benefit from its +25 damage boost. Also, do keep in mind that Bonfire and Luna can match Blue Flame by either buffing him up to at least 50 Defense or if his opponent has at least 50 Defense respectively.

His native Bonus Doubler makes for his ideal choice of A slot skill thanks to its fantastic synergy with his unique C slot, Human Virtue, a powerful skill that grants him and any non-beast or dragon allies with a massive +6/+6 Atk/Spd buff, provided that they are adjacent to each other at the start of the turn. When utilized in tandem, this allows Legendary Roy to essentially gain a whopping +12 boost to both of his offensive stats with no outside support -- and in contrast to skills such as Swift Sparrow and Atk/Spd Solo, Legendary Roy can comfortably benefit from this powerful offensive boost with no other prerequisite conditions for combat aside from simply having Human Virtue active.

Similarly to his Special, Legendary Roy’s B slot is quite flexible and open to a plethora of various different options, with the choice of which to utilize ultimately boiling down to a matter of personal preference and skill availability. Wrath is an exceedingly strong option that allows Legendary Roy to take a rather aggressive playstyle, drastically increasing the potency of his Special activations when under its 75% HP threshold. In contrast, Null Follow-Up and Null C-Disrupt can be considered as well to take a more generalist approach to Legendary Roy’s playstyle and widen the breadth of foes he can effectively take down.
