All "Gandora" monsters have a [[nuke|nuking]] effect followed by an [[ATK]] gain, and the downside of [[Halves LP|halving]] the player's own [[LP]]. Due to lacking in-archetype searching, summoning, or utility-based support, "Gandora" does not form a themed strategy by itself. Instead, they can be played as generic boss monsters for Decks that can tutor them, such as [[Dragon Link]].

===Recommended cards===
So far, all "Gandora" monsters have a [[nuke|nuking]] effect followed by an [[ATK]] gain, and the downside of [[Halves LP|halving]] the player's own [[LP]].
 
 
 
Since the nuking effect of "[[Gandora Giga Rays the Dragon of Destruction]]" becomes more potent the more unique "Gandora" monsters in the [[Graveyard]], using cards like "[[Foolish Burial]]" or "[[Trade-In]]" helps with consistency and power simultaneously.
 
 
 
Note that even if cards like "[[Macro Cosmos]]" help you to increase the ATK of "Gandora Giga Rays", they aren't recommended because they also prevent you from Special Summoning it.

"Gandora" (ガンドラ Gandora) is an archetype of Level 8 DARK Dragon monsters with 0 ATK and DEF used by Yugi Muto, which consists of the original "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" and its retrains.

Members have existed since The Valuable Book 8 promotional cards, but didn't receive support until the V Jump February 2017 promotional card.

Playstyle[edit]

All "Gandora" monsters have a nuking effect followed by an ATK gain, and the downside of halving the player's own LP. Due to lacking in-archetype searching, summoning, or utility-based support, "Gandora" does not form a themed strategy by itself. Instead, they can be played as generic boss monsters for Decks that can tutor them, such as Dragon Link.
