BIOMERGE Monster

BIOMERGE Monster are type of Monsters. Their frame is colored gray with electric details in the background.

Just like Pendulum Monsters and Legion Monsters, BIOMERGE Monsters can be seen as any type of monsters (Normal and Effect Monster's frame are fully gray. However; Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters are colored gray on the top half.)

BIOMERGE Monsters can be summoned by BIOMERGE Summoning and placed in the Field Zone, treating it as both Field Card and Monster Card.

While BIOMERGE Summoned, every BIOMERGE Monsters have a unique mechanic called Shield Points (SHD in short). SHD replaced DEF when BIOMERGE Summoned. They're similar to health points in every video games. It displays on the top of the card text like example:

BIOMERGE: SHD/????

Not only SHD replace a monsters DEF, it can also used to protect your LP during battles or from card effects. If your SHD goes to 0, the BIOMERGE Monster will be send to the graveyard.

Here's some examples:
 * You have 2000 SHD. You have a monster with 1500 ATK and the opposing monster has 2500 ATK. The opposing monster attacks your monsters and you deal battle damage. That damage goes to your SHD which leads you having 500 SHD.
 * 2000 - (2500 - 1500) = 500.
 * You have 1500 SHD and the opposing monster have 1500 ATK. The opposing monster direct attacks you and you take 1500 LP damage. The damage goes to your SHD leading you to 0 which destroys your BIOMERGE Monster.
 * 1500 - 1500 = 0.
 * You have 2000 SHD and the opposing monster has 1700 ATK. Your opponent use a Spell Card that deals you 1000 LP effect damage and the opposing monster direct attacks you. All the damage goes to your SHD which leads to 0 making it destroyed. However, the remaining damage will go to your LP.
 * 2000 - (1700 + 1000) = -700.
