Recycle and Revive Carriers (Melding Paradigms Part 1)

Recycle and Revive Carriers 

Sources: 

Recycle 1 - Thalassa
Recycle 2 - Hypolyta, Dahlia
Revive - Great Mystic (Revive)

Thalassa, Dahlia, Hypolyta and Great Mystic

Thalassa can be obtained from Seals. Hypolyta, Dahlia and Great Mystic are not freely available. You will likely have to spend gems on Boosters on Value packs to get them. Another way to get Mystic and Hypolyta is to do the Gem Mines till the first chest for several months.

Combo skills to go with Recycle are: Immunity, Rebirth, Stoneskin, Unbound, Dodge, Frost Armor

Recycle (or revive) carrier is usually the most important card in a deck. You don't want this card to get disposed or retreated. This is why cards with Stoneskin and Immunity are preferred to carry Recycle.

The Horned Beast the most popular 4 star immunity creature for Recycle

Also you want the recycle card to not get locked down. It should keep recycling your creatures every round. This is the reason why Immunity (again) and Unbound creatures are preferred.

You want these cards to have a second chance if they are killed, because once this card comes back, it will bring other creatures also back from the graveyard. This is why Rebirth is a good skill to have.

Dullahan has both Stoneskin and Rebirth, making it a good Recycle carrier

Survival skills like Dodge and Frost Armor are required to stay alive for as many turns as possible.

Creatures with Revive skill cannot be revived themselves. Hence, creatures with high turn numbers (Like Fafnir (6 turns) and Octavius (8 turns)) are considered better carriers for Recycle 2.

Octavius - You don't want to meet one with or without Recycle 2!

Common Recycle/Revive carriers, their rating out of 10, skill sets

Recycle:
Horned Beast: (10/10) Immunity, Dodge
You could level up these skills later with 4* skill essences. I know people with Horned beasts that have Dodge at 10(70% chance to dodge), Immunity 10 and Mass Heal 10 (250 heal per round). Absolutely OP creature, it has a post for itself here.

Harbinger: (8/10) Rebirth, Dodge
Dullahan: (7/10) Rebirth, Stoneskin  [D] Revive is more preferred for Dullahan because he dies easily and has Rebirth
Light Brave: (6/10) Rebirth, Dodge
Sword Master: (6/10) Frost Armor, Magi Shield
Pit Dragon: (5/10) Unbound
Sentry Angel: (4/10) Frost Armor

Revive Carriers

Mythril Drone: (10/10) Immunity, Mythril and Spellbinder(survival), 4 turns
DragonLord: (10/10) Immunity, Frost Armor, 4 turns

Kitsune and Kumiho with Revive, together known as the foxy sisters (10/10)

Kumiho has Demonization that protects her against Disposal and Retreat. Kitsune has unbound. Both of them revive each other through 'Gemini' skill and could revive other creatures through 'Revive' skill. Foxy sisters with revive meld is terrific!

Note: Some people prefer Frostblade 10 on Kitsune, because then she can freeze up to 5 creatures every round with Dance Macabre.

Flame Summoner: (9/10) Immunity, Rampart
Fafnir: (8/10) Immunity, dodge , 6 turns
Mimirs Tree: (8/10) (Immunity, Block , 6 turns
Magmus: (7/10) Immunity , 6 turns
Abaddon: (7/10) Immunity , 6 turns

Octavius: (7/10) Hollow Protection against cloning and many effects, Renewal OP survival skill (10/10)
Octavius has 8 turns wait time, hence only Recycle 2 is recommended for it (So that you can revive it back directly to hand if it is dead).


Caution Note: Oinari in the Gem mines has [S]Revive. Do not spend ore on her mistaking her skill for Revive. She revives a creature only when she enters play.

Oinari's [S]Revive is not that useful
