==Design==The main "World Chalice" monsters seem to be based on character archetypes that would typically be seen in a [[wikipedia:Japanese role-playing game|JRPG]] such as ''[[wikia:c:finalfantasywikipedia:Final Fantasy Wiki|Final Fantasy]]'' or ''[[wikia:c:xenobladewikipedia:Xenoblade WikiChronicles|Xenoblade Chronicles]]'' and all monsters are of different [[Type]]s and [[Attribute]]s who seemingly evolve into stronger, armored [[Link Monster]]s—possibly due to the "[[World Legacy|World Legacies]]" unlocked by them per the request of "[[Lee the World Chalice Fairy]]", as mentioned in the flavor text of "[[Chosen by the World Chalice]]", to fight against the "[[Krawler]]" monsters.

==Playing style==
Being one of the first archetypes to focus on [[Link Summon]]ing, the "World Chalice" archetype explores the intricacies of the newly-introduced mechanic. To that end, the archetype focuses on initiating multiple Link Summons in quick succession, all while promoting combos that extend the longevity of this style of play, namely through helping the controller amass more monsters in the hand or on the field to use as [[Link Material]]s. The archetype also encourages the controller carefully consider the placement of cards on their field, particularly by emphasizing the [[Linked|linking]] of Link Monsters with other monsters in order to gain boons via their effects.
The archetype's main strategy is the rapid amassing of [[Link Material]]s on the field to Link Summon [[Link Monster]]s, mainly by using [[Normal Monster]]s as a medium. To that end, several of its Main Deck monsters are Normal Monsters, namely "[[Beckoned by the World Chalice]]", "[[Chosen by the World Chalice]]", and "[[Crowned by the World Chalice]]", all of which possess different Levels, Attributes, and Types, and either 0 ATK or DEF.
The archetype's Main Deck Effect Monsters are designed to further this strategy. The first effect of "[[World Chalice Guardragon]]" allows the controller to send it from the hand or field to the GY in order to negate the activation of a card that targets a [[linked]] monster and destroy it, thus offering protection to the controller from threats to the archetypes' Link Monsters. This also places "Guardragon" in the GY to enable its second effect, banishing it from the GY to Special Summon a Normal Monster from the GY to one of the controller's zones that a Link Monster points to. "[[Lee the World Chalice Fairy]]" enables the controller to add a "World Chalice" monster from their Deck to their hand if Normal or Special Summoned, assisting the player in providing monsters to Special Summon with the common effect of the archetype's Link Monsters. "Lee" also allows the controller to recover it from the GY to their hand if they send a monster from their hand or field to the GY. Both monsters have great synergy with each other as a result, given that the latter can place monsters in the GY in the process of recurring itself, which the former can then Special Summon for the controller to continue their combos.
The archetype's Link Monsters all possess a common effect wherein if they are sent to the GY, the controller can Special Summon a "World Chalice" monster from their hand, thus preventing the controller from losing field advantage should the monster be sent to the GY. Additionally, these effects also encourage the controller to use the Link Monsters as Link Materials themselves. This is reinforced by the archetype's Link Monsters all possessing [[Link Rating]]s in successive numbers from 1 to 3. As another thread of commonality, they also all possess effects that apply when the monster is linked to other monsters, thus emphasizing a need to consider where the Link Monsters can be best summoned in order to fully benefit from their effects.
"[[World Legacy's Heart]]" allows the controller to return 2 "World Chalice" monsters from their GY to their hand, to further enable the common effects of the archetype's Link Monsters. The card also has an effect whereby the controller can avert the destruction by battle of a linked Link Monster they control, by banishing the card itself from their GY.
Because the archetype often focuses on Summoning low level Normal Monsters, it benefits greatly from cards that support such plays or aid in the advancing the placement of Normal Monsters in the hand. In particular, the effect of "[[Enchanting Fitting Room]]" and "[[Unexpected Dai]]" can assist the controller in more quickly Special Summoning Normal Monsters. "[[Dark Factory of Mass Production]]" can be used as an alternative to "Heart" by retrieving monsters from the GY to the hand to Summon via the common effects of the archetype's Link Monsters. As the archetype's Normal Monsters have different Types, they can be easily searched through Type specific support, such as "[[Emergency Teleport]]" for "Chosen" and "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" for "Beckoned". The controller can also take advantage of the fact that the archetype's Normal Monsters have 0 ATK or DEF to Special Summon them via the effects of "[[Box of Friends]]" or "[[Masked Chameleon]]", the latter being usable alongside the Summoned monster as a Material for a Synchro or Link Summon.
"[[Brilliant Fusion]]" and "[[Gem-Knight Lazuli]]" can also be splashed into the Deck quite effectively, as using the former to Fusion Summon "[[Gem-Knight Seraphinite]]" with the latter and "Lee" as Fusion Materials allows the controller to use the effect of "Lazuli" to add a Normal Monster from the GY to the hand, while easily searching out "Lee" for later retrieval. While itself usable as a Link Material, the effect of "Seraphinite" also can act as a substitute for "Imduk". "[[The Agent of Creation - Venus]]" can also provide the controller with a steady source of the Normal Monster "[[Mystical Shine Ball]]" in order to fuel the archetype's Link Summons or provide monsters that work with any Normal Monster-related support the controller chooses to include in the Deck. === Recommended cards ===
