,→Recommended cards
"'''Genex'''" (ジェネクス ''Jenekusu'') is an [[archetype]] of mostly [[Machine]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] with various [[Attribute]]s (primarily [[DARK]]) introduced in ''[[Limited Edition 13]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'' and in ''[[Duel Terminal 1]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]''.
Most of members' effects involves [[add]]ing monsters from the [[Deck]] to the [[hand]] and [[Special Summon]] them, as well as using "[[Genex Controller]]" with low-[[Level]] monsters of the four basic [[Attribute]]s for [[Synchro Summon]]. The name of "Genex" [[Synchro Monster]]s are based on sources of energy such as [[Hydro Genex|hydroelectric]], [[Geo Genex|geothermal]], [[Genex Solar|solar]], etc.
A sub-archetype, "[[R-Genex]]", was added in ''[[Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!|Justice Strikes Back!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!|Champion of Chaos!!]]'' and ''[[Duel Terminal - Charge of the Genex!!|Charge of the Genex!!]]''.
==Design==
The name of "Genex" [[Synchro Monster]]s are based on sources of energy such as [[Hydro Genex|hydroelectric]], [[Geo Genex|geothermal]], [[Genex Solar|solar]], etc.
==Playing style==
The classic playstyle of the "Genex" archetype uses "[[Genex Controller]]" to achieve various effects and perform Synchro Summons, "R-Genex" focuses on assisting the Special Summon of "Genex" and "R-Genex" monsters for swarming, and "Genex Ally" focuses on manipulating the six Attributes to achieve different effects.
The modern playstyle is entirely dependent on the Link-1 [[Link Monster]] "[[Repaired Genex Controller]]". Thanks to its effectWith "Repaired Genex Controller", the player can [[Normal Summon]] a "Genex" monster each time a "Genex" monster is added to their hand, at (whether from the cost of not being able to [[Special Summon]] from their [[Extra Deck]], except field, or GY), with no [[Synchro Monsteronce per turn]]s limit attached. Thus, by using only repeatedly adding "Genex" Tuners. Howevermonsters to the hand, it does not restrict which Synchro Monsters "Genex" can be Summoned, allowing the player to gather a multitude swarm large amounts of monsters to be used as material for powerful generic Synchro Monsters, such as "[[Baronne de FleurExtra Deck]]" and "[[Adamancipator Risen - Dragite]]"Synchro boss monsters.
By searching "[[RGenex" monsters that are themselves on-Summon searchers, "Repaired Genex Undine]]Controller" is another important tool to can create "restartSummon chains" the Summon chainof Normal Summons, searches, and more Normal Summons. It can be sent to Importantly, as indicated by the [[GY]] by underlined entries, "[[Genex Undine]]Turbo" (which also searches , "Genex ControllerPower Planner"), "Magma" and from there"Crusher" form a closed searching loop, it can add itself and another providing (theoretically) infinite Normal Summons; "GenexPower Planner" monster to the hand, at the cost of [[banish]]ing any card the player sends to their GY for the rest of the turn. This, combined with the second effect of "R-Genex Undine" to treat itself as a Tuner, can usually lead to at least another Synchro Monsters if the player has enough space on boardand "Controller" also forms its own extended search chain.
===Tips===
* "[[PSY-Framelord Omega]]" is a great choice to Synchro Summon, since it can banish itself and a card from the opponent's hand. Not only this reduces the opponent's resources, but it also opens more zones for the player to use.
* Among the starters, "[[Genex Power Planner]]" is usually one of the best options to return from the field to the hand, since it can search both "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" and "[[Genex Undine]]", important pieces to finish the player's combos.
* If the player already controls a "Genex" monster and a Level 6-8 DARK non-Tuner monster, "[[R-Genex Turing]]" can Summon itself from the hand during the opponent's turn alongside to Synchro Summon "[[Locomotion R-Genex]]" and take control of one of the opponent's monsters. The non-Tuner monster may be a Synchro Monster (e.g. "[[Draco Berserker of the Tenyi]]"), or a "[[Bystial]]" monster (such as "[[Bystial Druiswurm]]")for builds that use them. This is a great method to Summon Synchro Monsters that have effects when Synchro Summoned, such as * "[[Locomotion R-GenexAlly Axel]]" and , a Synchro Monster that also requires a "[[Black Rose Dragon]]Genex"Tuner, can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Machine monster back from the GY, allowing for even more Synchro Summons.
