| + | The "Amazoness" monsters have average [[ATK]] and effects, and are designed either to weaken the opponent's monsters or strengthen themselves. Key cards include "[[Amazoness Village]]", "[[Amazoness Paladin]]", "[[Amazoness Tiger]]", and "[[Amazoness Queen]]". | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the additions to the "Amazoness" archetype in ''[[Duelist Revolution]]'', they have more support for field-flooding and field control. Using "Amazoness Village", "[[Amazoness Willpower]]", and "[[Queen's Pawn]]" allows them to swarm the field much faster and more easily. "Amazoness Queen", "[[Amazoness Heirloom]]", and "[[Amazoness Scouts]]" can help keep your "Amazoness" on the field while you increase their [[ATK]] with "Amazoness Village" and "[[Amazoness Fighting Spirit]]". | ||
| + | |||
| + | While their ATK is often weak for their Level, cards such as "[[Amazoness Tiger]]" and "Amazoness Paladin" increase in strength relative to the number of other "Amazoness" on the field. "[[Amazoness Trainee]]" increases in strength for every monster she destroys. "Amazoness Queen" protects all "Amazoness" monsters from [[destroyed by battle|destruction in battle]], while "[[Amazoness Sage]]" can destroy one [[Spell Card|Spell]] or [[Trap Card]] at the end of each attack; with these two cards alone, a player can defend his or her monsters, while slowly dismantling an opponent's back row. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "[[Amazoness Empress]]" and "[[Amazoness Pet Liger]]" act as the boss monsters of the archetype, with "Amazoness Empress" preventing destruction by battle or card effect and giving "Amazoness" monsters piercing damage while "Amazoness Pet Liger" grants ATK reduction abilities to "Amazoness" monsters. "[[Amazoness Princess]]" acts as a searcher for the archetype, allowing quick access to the archetypes Spells and Traps upon its summon and allows for the summon of "Amazoness" monsters upon attacking. "[[Amazoness Baby Tiger]]" allows for easy swarming, allowing it to be summoned from the hand or graveyard upon the summon of another "Amazoness" monster. Both "Amazoness Princess" and "Amazoness Baby Tiger" also count as "Amazoness Queen" and "Amazoness Tiger", respectively, whilst on the field or graveyard, allowing the Fusion monsters to be summoned easier. "[[Amazoness Call]]" acts as the deck's main searcher, allowing for the searching of any "Amazoness" card in the deck. It also allows one "Amazoness" monster to attack every opposing monsters if it is banished from the graveyard. "[[Amazoness Onslaught]]" allows for the removal of opponents monsters via banishing, as well as swarming via a special summon once per Battle Phase and another upon its destruction. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Censorship== | ||
| + | * When the "Amazoness" cards are played in the English dubbed anime, they are re-drawn to be less revealing in appearance. While in ''TCG'' until recently, most of them weren't censored, unlike similar female monsters such as "[[Harpie]]s". | ||

| − | == | + | ==Strengths== |
| − | + | Common build strategies for this archetype include: | |
| − | + | ||
| − | "[[ | + | * Solidarity Build: Run multiple copies of "[[Solidarity]]" to give each of your Amazoness an 800 ATK boost. This build requires eliminating all non-Warrior cards from your deck, including "[[Amazoness Tiger]]". |
| − | "[[ | + | |
| − | + | * Burden Build: Use "[[Burden of the Mighty]]" to weaken an opponent's monsters, making them more susceptible to attacks by your medium-strength Amazoness monsters. However, this strategy is somewhat obsolete due to the current dominance of Xyz Monsters. But you can supplement this strategy with cards like "[[Gozen Match]]" and "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" to hinder them from Xyz Summoning. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | * Synchro Build: Warrior Tuners such as "[[T.G. Striker]]" and "[[X-Saber Pashuul]]" can be employed to summon numerous Synchro Monsters. "[[Rose, Warrior of Revenge]]" is also one of the most recommended Tuners, since she's a Level 4 Tuner that can be used in conjunction with most Level 4 Amazoness to Synchro Summon "[[Colossal Fighter]]" (for beating down most monsters) and "[[Crimson Blader]]" (for locking down opponent's high-Level Summons). All Amazoness monsters are also [[EARTH]] Attribute, means that they can also be used for Synchro Summoning [[Naturia]] Synchro Monsters, such as "[[Naturia Beast]]", "[[Naturia Barkion]]", and "[[Naturia Landoise]]" for Spell, Trap, and Effect Monster negation respectively (provided that they also use an EARTH Tuner). Since most Synchro-based decks requires flexibility, cards like "[[Solidarity]]" and "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" are not recommended in this build. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | "[[ | + | * Xyz Build: Most Amazoness monsters are Level 4, and is perfect for setting up Xyz Summons. Using "[[Goblindbergh]]", "[[Photon Thrasher]]", "[[Kagetokage]]" and "[[Heroic Challenger - Double Lance]]" can speeding up the process of Xyz Summoning Rank 4 monsters. Notable choices are "[[Number 39: Utopia]]", "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]", "[[Maestroke the Symphony Djinn]]", and "[[Evilswarm Ouroboros]]". |
| − | + | ||
| + | * Anti-Meta: Most Amazoness monsters do not rely on external sources like Graveyard manipulation, Deck searching, Special Summoning and so on, means that they can also be used as Anti-Meta strategy utilizing Anti-Meta cards like "[[Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer]]", "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]", "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" or even more obscure choices like "[[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]]" or "[[Summon Limit]]". "[[Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders]]" can also give this deck more resiliency, while also opening access into Rank 7 Xyz Summon. | ||

| + | == Weaknesses == | ||
| + | Massive field control comes at a cost. Most of Amazoness decks will always have trouble when fighting Decks with a strong focus of nullifying Spell and Trap Cards (Since many of their Spell/Traps are key points for their survivability, especially "[[Amazoness Village]]"). Amazoness decks also having a hard time to breakthrough Spells and Traps that can stop their attacks, like "[[Messenger of Peace]]", "[[Level Limit - Area B]]", and "[[Gravity Bind]]". Cards such as "[[Dust Tornado]]", "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]", and [[Xyz Monster]]s can counter such plays. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Amazoness decks are also weak against decks that can either: outspeed them completely, like [[Mermail]]s and [[Six Samurai]]s, or decks that have more control and advantage-grinding quality, such as [[Prophecy]], [[Gadget]]s, or even [[Dark World]] decks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "[[Skill Drain]]" can be problematic to any Amazoness decks, due to most of their monsters are either have Continuous Effects or effects that can only be useful while battling. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Over-reliance towards "[[Amazoness Village]]" makes this deck hard to maintain. Without it, this deck usually suffers from not having enough resources to maintain field presence, which (only) Amazoness Village can provide. To remedy this problem, a player can either add more external support such as "[[Marauding Captain]]" and "[[Warrior Lady of the Wasteland]]", add more draw power via "[[Pot of Duality]]", "[[Reckless Greed]]", and/or "[[Shard of Greed]]", or add protection via "[[Safe Zone]]", "[[Forbidden Lance]]", and/or "[[Fiendish Chain]]". | ||
