"'''Knightmare'''", known as "'''Troymare'''" (トロイメア, ''Toroimea'') in the [[OCG]], is an [[archetype]] that debuted in ''[[Flames of Destruction]]''. The archetype is focused on [[Link Summon]]s and being [[co-linked]], and primarily consists of [[Fiend]] [[Link Monster]]s.
 
The archetype is related to, and supported by, the "[[World Legacy]]" archetype, and is a part of the "World Legacy" storyline.
 
== Lore ==
 
{{Main|Master Guide 6 card storylines#The Rematch Against "Iblee"}}
 
==Etymology==
 
The archetype's Japanese name "Troymare" is a portmanteau of "Troy" (referring to "Trojan Horse"), "Nightmare", and "Träumerei" (Japanese: トロイメライ ''Toroimerai''); ''Träumerei'' ("Dreaming") is Movement No. 7 of [[wikipedia:Robert Schumann|Robert Schumann]]'s 1838 work ''[[wikipedia:Kinderszenen|Kinderszenen]]''.
 
  
The archetype's Simplified Chinese name 梦魇曲 literally means "Nightmare Song".

"'''Troymare'''" (トロイメア, ''Toroimea'') is an [[archetype]] that debuted in ''[[Flames of Destruction]]''. The archetype is related to, and supported by, the "[[World Legacy]]" archetype and is focused on [[Link Summon]]s and being [[co-linked]]. All of the archetype's Link Monsters so far are [[Fiend]].
  
The archetype's English name "Knightmare" is a portmanteau of "Knight" and "Nightmare". This refers to the archetype's connections to the "[[Mekk-Knight]]" archetype.
 
 
==Design==
 
==Design==
The six "Knightmare" Link Monsters, according to lore, are corrupted versions of "[[Mekk-Knight]]" monsters. They take the form of mythological creatures, their bodies comprised of a combination of a glowing translucent substance and silvery metallic armor with a gold and black design etched into them. Parts of their armoring and bodies also appear to be made out of charred or blackened junk, mostly weapons, that resemble trashed remains of the "Mekk-Knight" monsters' armors, remodelled into resembling the namesake mythologic creatures.
+
===Appearance===
 +
The "Troymare" Link monsters have different [[Attribute]]s and the ones with the four elemental Attributes have a color scheme that corresponds to that Attribute. Their bodies are comprised of a combination of a glowing translucent substance and silvery metallic armor with a gold and black design etched into them. Parts of their armoring and bodies also appear to be made out of charred or blackened junk, mostly weapons.
  
Each "Knightmare" has a different color theme and a different [[Attribute]]s, and the ones with the four elemental Attributes have a color scheme that corresponds to that Attribute. The colors of the "Knightmare" monsters each corresponds to 1 "Mekk-Knight" monster within the 7 main "Mekk-Knight" monster lineup, with the notable exception of "[[Mekk-Knight Blue Sky]]".  
+
===Etymology===
 +
The names of "Troymare" monsters are based on mythologic creatures.
  
All "Knightmare" monsters, except "[[Orcust Knightmare]]", also have a musical symbol somewhere on their body.

The "Knightmare" non-Link Monsters all depict the advanced versions of "[[Lee the World Chalice Fairy]]", the creator of the "Knightmare" Link Monsters and the central antagonist of the "World Legacy" storyline.

==Playing Style==
! Knightmare
+
 
! Origin
+
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 Effect]]s that are either benefit monsters that are co-linked or burden monsters that are not.
! Creature
+
 
! Symbol
+
Since they do not require Link Materials of specific Type(s) or Attribute(s), any engine capable of swarming the field with monsters with different names may help Link Summon them. Monsters that are already used in Link-oriented strategies, such as "[[Cyberse Gadget]]", "[[Blackwing - Gofu the Vague Shadow]]", "[[Stack Reviver]]" and "[[Bitrooper]]" can be helpful.

+
Due to their first effect requiring a discard as a cost, they may have synergy with "[[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.

==Playing style==
 
The main goal of this archetype is to build a field with as many co-linked "Knightmare" monsters as possible, to the point of achieving a state of [[Extra Link]]. All "Knightmare" Link Monsters have two effects:
 
# A [[Trigger Effect]] that can be activated when they are Link Summoned. The effect has a [[cost]] of a 1 card [[discard]], performs a beneficial action, then allows the player to draw 1 card if the monster was [[co-linked]] when it activated this effect.
 
# A [[Continuous Effect]] that either benefit co-linked monsters, or burden those that are not.

Since they do not require Link Materials of specific Type(s) or Attribute(s), any engine capable of swarming the field with monsters with different names may help Link Summon them. Monsters that are already used in Link-oriented strategies, such as "[[Cyberse Gadget]]", "[[Stack Reviver]]", "[[Bitrooper]]", and the "[[Gouki]]" archetypes can be helpful.
 
  
A full "Knightmare" board of co-linked and even [[Extra Link]]ed monsters is very formidable and very tough to break, due to the protection and the floodgating continuous effects provided by "Knightmare" Link Monsters. "Knightmare" Main Deck monsters provide further deepens this lockdown; "[[Knightmare Corruptor Iblee]]" is an extender that can Special Summon itself to the opponent's field and preventing the opponent from Special Summoning except by Link Summoning, preventing them from destroying the "Knightmare" board by Special Summoning a "[[Kaiju]]" monster, for example.

===Weaknesses===
+
== Weaknesses ==
* Due to the need of Special Summoning many monsters to the field in order to achieve an Extra Link, or at least having 3 or 4 "Knightmare" monsters co-linked to each other, the Deck may have disadvantage with cards like "[[Summon Limit]]", "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]", "[[Vanity's Fiend]]", etc.  
+
 
* Also, the "Knightmare" player must [[Overextending|control many monsters at once]] for the strategy to work at its full potential, which may render the Deck vulnerable to mass-removal cards, especially "[[Evenly Matched]]", that ignores all blanket protections provided by the "Knightmare" co-linked monsters, as it neither targets nor destroys.
+
* The most basic weakness of the Deck is the need for a discard as a cost to activate the Link monsters' Trigger Effect. Without the proper setup, this may have the player running out of resources before they can build a solid field; the "Fabled" engine may aleviate this, though.
* Even if "Knightmare Corruptor Iblee" is on the opponent's field, preventing a "Kaiju" monster from disrupting the string of co-linked monsters, "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]" can make a much more huge impact, by removing 3 of them at once.
+
 
*With "Knightmare Goblin" and "Knightmare Mermaid" being Forbidden, performing Co-Linked and Extra Link states have become rather difficult to accomplish. With Master Rules (April 1, 2020 revision) being in effect, the Extra Link does not affect your opponent as much, unless they utilize Pendulum or Link-focused strategies.
