The voices of angels and demons influence the tides of battle!

— The archetype's tagline in promotional material[1]

"Valmonica" (ヴァルモニカ Varumonika) is an archetype of Fiend and Fairy monsters introduced in Deck Build Pack: Valiant Smashers.

Design

Etymology

"Angelo Valmonica" and "Demone Valmonica" are based on the concept of a "shoulder angel and devil", a dramatic interpretation and visualization of one's individual conscience that drives them to make morally good or evil decisions and symbolize the inner struggle of a person's choices.

Playing style

"Valmonica" is a theme that revolves around manipulation of the user's Life Point in tandem with its two Pendulum Monsters, "Angelo Valmonica" and "Demone Valmonica", specifically their Pendulum Effects to gain Resonance Counters when gaining LP (in the case of "Angelo") and taking damage (for "Demone"). Once 3 or more "Resonance Counters" have been gained on a respective Pendulum Scale, the player can proceed to Link Summon the theme's 2 boss monsters; "Divine Oddity of Valmonica - Zebufera" and "Odd Deity of Valmonica - Giurarme", a duo of stronger monsters limited merely through this condition to Summon them.
