'''Dragunity''' is an [[Archetype]] released in the [[Duel Terminal]], the term "Dragunity" is a portmanteau of the words ''Dragon'' and ''Unity''. Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any [[level]] 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters in your [[Graveyard]] to your [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] monsters in play (in the sense of the [[Dragon]]-Types transforming into weapons, or the [[Winged-Beast]] "Dragunity" monsters "uniting" with their Dragon "steeds" as "Dragunity Knights"). Because of their heavy focus on sending monsters to the Spell & Trap Card Zones, the "Dragunity" archetype is often compared to the "[[Crystal Beast]]" and "[[Cyberdark]]" archetypes. They also utilize powerful [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Synchro Monsters]], although they require [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Tuner Monsters]] as well as [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] non-Tuners. All of the '''Dragunity''' monsters that have been released so far are [[WIND]] monsters, so "[[Flying Kamakiri 1]]" and "[[Gozen Match]]" can be useful along with some other WIND support cards; and because many of them are Winged Beast-Type monsters, the Deck can run "[[Icarus Attack]]". The [[Dragon]]-Type monsters in this [[Archetype]] so far all have armor which either covers most of their body ("[[Dragunity Phalanx]]"), or they have a piece of armor that resembles, and is named after, a weapon (i.e. "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]"). By contrast, the [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] monsters seem to be named after historical warriors (Ex. - "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" is named after the common solider in the Roman army). Their archetype symbol is the green emerald for the [[Dragon]]-Type monsters, and for the [[Winged Beast]]-Type monsters is the green emerald surrounded by a gold outline of wings. Like "Blackwings", there is a heavy distinction between the Tuner monsters and the non-Tuner monsters in terms of appearance. Similar to "Blackwings", the non-Tuner monsters are all humanoids in bird costumes while the Tuner monsters are all small dragons <!-- Note: this isn't Dragon-Type monsters since it's just saying that they are dragons -->(whereas the "Blackwing" Tuner monsters are all small birds).
==Playing style==
The main purpose of "Dragunity" decks is to have versatile and easy [[Synchro Summon]]s. "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" is the key card here - it's a level 2 Tuner monster that Special Summons when it is equipped to a monster. Thanks to the effects of "[[Dragunity Dux]]" and "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]", you can easily summon Level 5 or 6 Synchro Monsters - however, if you decide to Synchro Summon "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]" with "Dux" and "Phalanx", you can use one of the deck's most powerful combos. "Vajrayana" is a Level 6 monster that can also equip a Level 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] "Dragunity" monster from the Graveyard. Because the "Once per turn" effect of "Phalanx" resets when it is sent to the Graveyard, if you equip "Phalanx" it can Special Summon itself again and you can [[Synchro Summon]] a Level 8 [[Synchro Monster]] - effectively turning one card in your hand into a Level 8 monster from your [[Extra Deck]] (typically "Stardust Dragon"). Another fast combo to summon Level 8 synchros is to use the level 6 "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]." Its effect lets you special summon it by tributing a Dragunity Monster, and then it equips a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type Dragunity from the graveyard. Equipping Phalanx, and then summoning it with its effect can grant you an instant Stardust Dragon. However, this card has no way to be searched out because Dragon Ravine only searches level 4 or lower Dragunities and adds them to your hand, so you would rely more on simply drawing it, but with the thinning power of the deck thanks to Ravine, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
This combo only requires "Dux" in your hand and "Phalanx" in your Graveyard, and it is incredibly simple to set up with the help of "[[Dragon Ravine]]". With it, once per turn, you can discard a card to either add a "Dragunity" monster from your Deck to your hand or send any Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard - essentially turning any card in your hand into either a "Dragunity" version of "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]", which makes combos easy.
Another good strategy for synchros is using "[[Dragunity Pilum]]" and "[[Dragunity Militum]]." Pilum allows you to summon a Winged-Beast type Dragunity from your hand and equips itself to it, while Militum can special summon equipped Dragunities, allowing for a fast level 7 synchro for monsters like "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and "[[Dragunity Knight - Trident]]."
However, the "Dragunity" monsters have many alternate strategies. Even without Synchro Monsters, the archetype can hold its own in battle: "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" takes out tough monsters with its effect - you can send an equipped Dragon-Type monster to the graveyard to destroy one of your opponent's face-up monsters. This is especially useful with "[[Dragunity Aklys]]", as when it is equipped and sent to the Graveyard, one card on the field is destroyed. As such, one of the main "Dragunity" combos is to Normal Summon "Legionnaire", equip "Aklys", and send it to the Graveyard to destroy one your opponent's Face-up monsters and another one of his/her cards, in a devastating one-two punch that costs you nothing. However, this can be countered with "Enemy Controller"-since "Aklys" activates first (as Chain Link 2), you can chain "Enemy Controller" and steal their monster (this works if you only have one more monster) to get it killed by "Phalanx" effect. This also works with the second effect of "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]", which can send a card equipped to itself to the Graveyard to double its own ATK until the end of the turn (which usually isn't used since a "Stardust Dragon" is preferable). If you equip and then send "Aklys" to the Graveyard, you will end up with a 3800 ATK monster that turn while destroying one of your opponent's cards, allowing for big finishes.
"[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]", the new ace "Dragunity" monster, comes in [[Structure Deck: Dragunity Legion]]. This monster can be Special Summoned with ease from your hand or Graveyard by Banishing 1 Face-up monster you control equipped with a "Dragunity" card. In addition, when this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, you can select 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard other than "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten", and equip it to it as an Equip Card. If and when you equip "Phalanx" to "Leyvaten", you can Special Summon it to your field and using "Phalanx" and "Leyvaten" to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Trident Dragion]]". To make sure all the "Leyvatens" are sent to your Graveyard swiftly and efficiently, "[[Future Fusion]]" and "[[Dragon Ravine]]" are recommended.
