I've fought this a couple of times... And have yet to lose to it. Destroying their rear-guards certainly helps you save shield for guarding the Legion attack, and Maelstrom R/Break Ride certainly helps with all the retires and draws. Although it certainly is dangerous, I just happen to use a great counter for them. If their RGs do survive and help drain your shield, or you have no good way to get draw power, I definitely see how it would be a major threat.
Legion was designed not to function with Break Rides.
In terms of that combination of d-robos + Metalborgs, it can be terrifying or underwhelming.I run the deck, but have not tried out Daikaiser because , normally if I'm playing correctly , they are finished when I am at 3 damage or less. Thus break-riding requires too much effort. The vg can hit 30k with just a 10k booster. According to the anime at least, and I haven't seen any real ruling updates either on "how to reach 30k" outside of the metal borgs boosting up the vg (+6k or 8k) for 1 cb. You also must remember that Laurel is a double edged sword. He only works if you hit, and only is useful if you vg is supped up for the turn. Otherwise he's a very low powered g1 unit.

It helps sure but the draw power your almost guarantee to get from Buster and the power gain of the entire clan as a whole just make it insane to fight. Not to mention you can give it skills that add additional effects plus the fact that your forced to guard with 0's if buster is legion with 30k which counts the boosting unit so this is the easiest condition in the game. Yea Good luck.As for the other Legions Dryon gets a crit +1 at 30k and Cezalion is just a clone of other basic +5k legions. They are far easier to deal with then buster but the odds you will see buster is useally 90+% so always expect that at least. Dryon the obvious secondary alternate in the pure variant though it might really like Daikaiser and Laural more since they will force the guard. Cezalion I don't expect to see any play at all.Hmm the lack of synergy hurts both, while laurel is the real issue agreed. If you just break ride Daikaiser, you don't need to care about the g3 part. What you really wanted was +1 crit, and 10k power...the null shields is just a bonus. Though sin-buster is the only scary one, dryon can just get nulled and end all those dreams early.
