HIGHLIGHTS
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 face-up monster you control; it gains 400 ATK until the end of this turn. During your turn, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 face-up monster you control; that target gains 800 ATK until the end of this turn.
Commonly used in
Rabbit Laggia, HERO, Rogue Strategies
Why it's Meta
In a format where high attack monsters dominate the board, it allows lower attack monsters to gain ATK boosts to overcome those monsters.
Built-in 2-for-1 Value: Because it has a second effect in the Graveyard, it is essentially a 2-for-1. Your opponent might use MST to destroy it, only for you to use the 800 ATK boost later to win a crucial battle.
Pro Tip/Ruling
Removing Skill Successor from play is a cost to activate its second effect.
You can activate both the field effect and the graveyard effect during the Damage Step.
The "Double Pump": While you cannot use the graveyard effect the same turn it was sent there, you can use it on your next turn to help a monster like Number 39: Utopia get over huge threats like Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World.
Discard Synergy: If you are playing a deck that discards (Lightsworn or Snipe Hunter), sending Skill Successor to the graveyard directly grants you that 800 ATK boost later, giving you "free" value from the discard.
