With [[LIGHT]] Fiends typically represents demons who have gained divinity status or as a "benevolent" demonic beings, whilst [[DARK]] Fairies represents corrupted or sinister divine beings, respectively.

Fiends receive a power-up from the "[[Yami]]" [[Field Spell Card]], as well as more recently "[[The Gates of Dark World]]" and "[[Archfiend Palabyrinth]]", and since many Fiends are [[DARK]], they also get a boost from "[[Mystic Plasma Zone]]". Many have [[effect]]s that hinder or punish the opponent and many others require penalties from the user. Some Fiend cards work together while others [[Tribute]] themselves, other cards or [[pay]] [[Life Points]] to use their effects. There are also a great number of monsters and spells that Summon Fiend-Type [[Token Monster|Tokens]], which can be used either as Tributes or simple stall defenders. Fiends are most notably used by [[PaniK]], and [[Yami Bakura]] and some of [[Yugi Muto]]'s most well known monsters are fiends.

Design-wise, Fiend monsters usually appears either as a classical demonic beings with menacing or otherworldly designs such as "Summoned Skull" or "Dark World" monsters, or a strange creatures that would not fall under the Beast or Beast-Warrior types, such as "Sangan" or "Kuriboh". There are also a substantial amount of Fiend monsters with a strikingly human-like appearance such as "Evil★Twin" or some "Labrynth" monsters, either being a human who possess evil powers or a demon who takes a form of a human.

A recurring theme of Fiend monsters is their thematically opposition with the Fairy-type, evident by the former Type primarily comprised of DARK Attribute, while the latter is mostly of LIGHT Attribute. Though a substantial amount of Fiends and Fairies ironically features a thematically opposite attribute. With LIGHT Fiends typically represents demons who have gained divinity status or as a "benevolent" demonic beings, whilst DARK Fairies represents corrupted or sinister divine beings, respectively. Some themes, such as "Despia" and "Dream Mirror", also plays on the duality of these two types by featuring monsters from both types as members.

As such, there is no specific dueling strategy built around them and their play style, although the majority focus on offensive tactics and destroying the opponent's cards, as well as pressuring the opponent by cornering them with various disruption and lockdown effects, banishing effects, or deck milling.
