- Dueling in Ranked Duels and against Legendary/Standard Duelists or the Vagabond in any Duel World will increase the chance of him appearing.
- Inglorius Bastion will only appear in Duel World (GX) - not in 5D’s/DM!
- He will not appear at the gate and the chance of him appearing is not affected by dueling at the gate.

Chemicritter Carbo Crab now at 3x is really cool since he’s a great facilitator at moving cards where they need to be (big guys like Poly-Chemicritter Dioxogre or Darkstorm Dragon to the grave, and normal summons like Dark Valkyria or Heavy Knight of the Flame to the hand). Equipping Crab with Supervise to dump a Dioxogre and search a Valkyria is a great 2-card opener since Dioxogre will be summoned when Crab is destroyed and Crab will be fodder for Dioxogre’s effect.
Chemicritter Oxy Ox is an interesting addition but best-case scenario you set him turn 1, your opponent swings into him (and he survives), you Gemini summon him on your turn to pull a Dioxogre out of your hand, and without Supervise Dioxogre won’t have his effect right away. His level modulation effect is meant to bring out the Xyz monster Vola-Chemicritter Methydraco, which we obviously don’t have, but it could also be useful with Beatdown. Annoyingly, his 2100 DEF isn’t enough to stand up to a Gozuki/Samurai Skull under Vampire Kingdom.
Chemicritters probably won’t give rise to a new top-tier deck, but they do have some very solid turn 1 plays (Crab + Supervise, set Oxy Ox, or even set Featherizer since banishing effects are rarer now), and a good turn 1 is one of the most important features of a top Duel Links deck. On top of that they have access to strong destruction effects (from Dioxogre and Darkstorm) that give the deck some real power. It will definitely be a fun deck to play around with.
For the others, Red Ogre has a really strong effect but I don’t know quite where you’d put him. (Thank goodness he wasn’t in the game with the original Three-Star Demotion though.) Shutendoji could potentially be played as a 1-of in Vampires to recycle resources for Kingdom’s effect, but opening it early would be pretty bad.
