Featured Duel: Hana vs Koga
Turn 1: Koga

 * During his End Phase, since his hand contains 7 cards, Koga discards "Recolor".

Turn 2: Hana


 * Normal Summons "Acis".
 * Discards "Warrior's Charge" to Special Summon "Ulysis".
 * Activates the effect of "Warrior's Charge", Special Summoning "Bastian" with his effects negated.

 * Hana activates "Titanic Rescue", returning "Bastian" to her hand and Special Summoning "Satyr".
 * Special Summons "Bastian" from her hand.

 * Koga activates the effect of "Achromatic Lamentation", Special Summoning "Void" and "Lamentation" from his deck.
 * A replay occurs and Hana attacks and destroys "Void" with Satyr" [Since, if she destroyed "Lamentation", "Void" would recharge Koga's hand again].

 * Activates the effect "Dementor" earned from "Bastard" (ATK 2800 → 3500).
 * Activates the effect of "Dementor", sending "Calisto" to the Graveyard. [Hana's hand: 2] [Koga's hand: 3]

Turn 4: Hana


 * During her Standby Phase, the effect of "Dementor" forces her to discard a card; she chooses "Call of the Haunted".

Turn 5: Koga


 * (pressures Hana)

Turn 6: Hana


 * (stalls to stack up resources)

Turn 7: Koga


 * (Hana barely survives)

Turn 8: Hana


 * During her Standby Phase, the effect of "Dementor" forces her to discard a card; she chooses "Warrior's Soul".
 * (ultra combo to defeat "Dementor")

Turn 9: Koga


 * Activates "Pot of Dichotomy", shuffling "", "" and "" into his deck.
 * Activates "", reviving "Dementor".
 * Shuffles "" and "" from her Graveyard into the deck to attach "Vassal" and "Bastard" to "Dementor".
 * Activates "Rank-Up Magic Black and White Force", using "Vassal", "Bastard" and "Dementor" as materials to Xyz Summon "Void-Eyes Hell Dragon".
 * Its effect activates, erasing the lores of all other cards. This includes the lore of "Pot of Dichotomy", which would prevent him from conducting his Battle Phase.
 * Attacks "Fausto" with "Void-Eyes".
 * Hana attempts to activate the effect of "Tadeu", but his lore has become void as well. "Fausto" is destroyed (Hana ??? → 0).

At this point, Hana realizes she was sensing the flow of the duel with her powers.

Turn 8: Hana


 * During her Standby Phase, the effect of "Dementor" forces her to discard a card; she chooses "".
 * Activates "Warrior's Soul" (making her LP just enough to survive the imminent attack of "Void-Eyes").

Later moves:
 * When Hana defeats "Dementor": Hana spends a few turns totally helpess, stacking up resources. Then, when she gets to action, she uses an effect to make Fausto able to defeat Dementor in battle; Koga activates Dementor's effect to get an anti-battle Achromatic (CL1), Hana responds with Mateo (CL2), Koga responds with an anti-monster effect Achromatic from hand (CL3), Hana activates Titanic Supremacy (CL4), Koga activates an anti-negation Achromatic from hand (CL5), Hana uses an effect to copy Titanic Supremacy and negate all of Koga's effects (CL6), as well as a card with an effect based on the number of either Chain Links or effects that were activated that turn.
 * Before Koga Summons "Void-Eyes": Hana uses a discarding effect, and chooses to discard a card with a healing effect. Later on, Koga Summons Void-Eyes, defeating Hana with it. However, all of that was a kind of vision of Hana's - with her powers, she can feel the pulse of the cards, being able to read the "flow" of the duel for a limited time. She goes back to the discarding effect, and chooses to discard another card instead, using the healing effect to make her LP just enough to survive Void-Eyes' attack.
 * Hana decides to put everything at stake and let the Titans use her as a vessel to manifest their real powers for a limited amount of time, forming "Alexia, Titan Ruler of Creation". Although "Alexia" can originally draw the power of any monster, since Hana is a human and still can't manifest her full powers, she can only draw the power or low-Level monsters like "Leghul", "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool", etc. Hana tries to use "Alexia" to save Koga from "Void-Eyes", but Koga refuses and supernatural bullshit happens.
