"Troymare" is an archetype of Fiend monsters set to debut in Flames of Destruction. The archetype is related to, and is supported by, the "World Legacy" archetype and is focused on Link Summons and being co-linked.

Design

Appearance

The "Troymare" monsters have different Attributes and the ones with the four elemental Attributes have a color scheme that corresponds to that Attribute.

Etymology

The "Troymare" Link monsters are based on mythologic creatures:

Card Origin
Troymare Mermaid Mermaid
Troymare Phoenix Phoenix
Troymare Goblin Goblin
Troymare Cerberus Cerberus
Troymare Unicorn Unicorn
Troymare Gryphon Gryphon

Playing Style

The main goal of this archetype is to build a field with as many co-linked monsters as possible, to the point of achieving a state of Extra Link. All the "Troymare" Link monsters revealed so far have effects that activate when they are Link Summoned, by the cost of 1 card in the player's hand, and they allow the player to draw 1 card if they were co-linked when those effects were activated; also, they have Continuous Effects that are either benefit monsters that are co-linked or burden monsters that are not.

LIGHT Targets 1 Spell/Trap Card in its controller's Graveyard and Sets it to their field. Prevents Special Summoned monsters from activating their effects, unless they are linked.

Due to their first effect requiring a discard as a cost, they may have synergy with "The Fabled" monsters; also, they tend to allow the player to control the field by achieving an Extra Link and disabling the opponent from Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. This goal can be further deepened by Special Summoning "Destroymare Iblee" to the opponent's field and preventing the opponent from disrupting the "Troymare" player's strategy by Special Summoning a "Kaiju" monster, for example.

Trivia

  • Some "Troymare" wear armors which bear similarities with a "Mekk-Knight" of the same color.
    • "Troymare Mermaid" has a ring attached to its tail which is the same as the ring on the body of "Jack Knight of the Azure Blue".
    • "Troymare Goblin" has waist plate which is similar to the waist armor of "Jack Knight of the Green Heights".
    • "Troymare Gryphon" has a spiky armor attached on its shoulders which is similar to the spike from the helmet of "Jack Knight of the Purple Dusk".
    • "Troymare Unicorn" has wing-like armor in the similar fashion to "Jack Knight of the Yellow Bloom".
