It's HERO Time: The Best Looking HERO Cards in Yu-Gi-Oh

Vision HEROs

Vision HEROs were originally released in 2011 along side the Masked HEROs and recieved multiple waves of support later on. Vision HEROs are extremely similar to the Masked HEROs in terms of origin. In the Yu-Gi-Oh GX Manga the rival to the main protagonist copied the main protagonist's deck. After beating the main character, the main character revised his deck to make it his own and added Masked HEROs. The reverse thing happens with the rival who makes his deck his own by adding Vision HEROs to his deck.

The Vision HEROs have a strange design theme, meaning that they don't really have one. Many of them do share a single Aperture-like lense in the middle of their face, and they have a more robotic design that the others. The name for the archetype actually comes from their effect, and how they are visualized in the Manga. When you take battle damage you can set them in the spell and trap zone as traps. When they are in this zone they were referred to as Visions, and hence the name was made. Interestingly enough the older monsters of the archetype do not have this effect to place themselves in the spell and trap zone.

The main strategy of the Vision HERO strategy is to make a large fusion monster from the extra deck and allow it to be killed so that you take damage. Then you set them all from the graveyard. Now you only have to summon one monster to get all of their effects off. By tributing one HERO you summon another one. Then you do it again to completely decimate your opponents field.

There were originally four members of the archetype all printed at seperate times, before a large amount of support came out in late 2019. Their addition to a HERO deck allowed for more consistency and power in the deck.

Vision HERO's are the newest sub-archetype of HERO's in the Yugioh card game. Vision HERO's have a primary gimmick where they place them selves in the spell and trap zone as face up continuous traps. They can then tribute another HERO you control to summon themselves and activate an effect. Poisoner specifically halves the attack of one face up monster your opponent controls. Of all the Vision HERO's Poisoner is my favorite looking due to the fact that his armor is based around his name. You can see that his armor is made to look like a snake. He also has the signature face aperture that most of the Vision HERO's have.
Vision HERO Vyon came out with the first wave of Vision HEROs which opened up the HERO strategy greatly. The Omni HEROs helped to create generic HEROs, but Vision HEROs made it super generic. Vyon sends any HERO from your deck to the grave whenever it is summoned to the field. Then it can banish a monster in your graveyard to add a fusion spell to your hand. This allows you to play multiple HERO sub-archetypes together since Vyon doesn't care what archetype they are. Vyon started the trend of the Apeture -esque thing on their face that helps to theme all the monsters in the archetype. The best part of Vyon's card art is the purple ring in his background. It is one of the few HEROs that are only one color and the royal purple stands perfectly by itself.
Vision HERO Adoration was one of the first Vision HEROs that were released. While he doesn't do much he does help to enable an OTK. Adoration has the ability to reduce an opponents monsters attack equal to the attack to another HERO you control. This means that you could reduce an opponents monsters attack so that you deal more damage and defeat them faster. Adoration's design is very interesting because he doesn't resemble a lot of the other Vision HEROs. However, the plates on his legs, the purple/black color scheme throughout, and the floating ribbons coming off his clothing really make him look powerful and intimidating.
Vision HERO Trinity was one of the first Vision HEROs released. Trinity is known as a beater. Beaters are monsters that are only used to attack with big monsters in an attempt to OTK. Trinity is extremely efficient at this considering his effect. Trinity doubles his original attack (2500) on the turn he is summoned. Also, he can attack up to three times, but he cannot attack directly. This means that if you can make Trinity and your opponent has three or more monsters you just win. It also works in tandem very well with another card on this list named Elemental HERO Honest Neos. Using Honest Neon Trinity's attack becomes 7500 which allows him to OTK even easier. Part of what makes Trinity look so cool is the sense of power you see when looking at the art. The rocks coming off the ground, the pose, and the size of him make him seem like a force to be reckoned with. The powerful red assists with making Trinity look like an absolute powerhouse.
