All members of this archetype are [[Warrior]] monsters, except for the [[Beast]] "[[Amazoness Baby Tiger]]", "[[Amazoness Pet Liger]]", "[[Amazoness Pet Liger King]]" and "[[Amazoness Tiger]]". 

 ==Play styleArtworks==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 in the additions to the "Amazoness" archetype in ''[[Duelist Revolution]]'', they have more support for fieldEnglish dubbed anime are re-flooding and field control. Using "Amazoness Village", "[[Amazoness Willpower]]", and "[[Queen's Pawn]]" allows them drawn 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 be less revealing 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 attackappearance; 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" this is 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 done 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 artworks 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 censoredthough these artwork changes would be applied much later after the initial release, unlike similar female monsters archetypes such as "[[Harpie]]s".

Striker]]Tiger" and "[[X-Saber PashuulAmazoness Paladin]]" can be employed increase in strength relative to summon numerous Synchro the number of other "Amazoness" Monsterson the field. "[[Rose, Warrior of RevengeAmazoness Trainee]]" is also one of the most recommended Tuners, since increases in strength for every monster she's a Level 4 Tuner that can be used in conjunction with most Level 4 destroys. "Queen" protects all "Amazoness to Synchro Summon "monsters from [[Colossal Fighterdestroyed by battle|destruction in battle]]" (for beating down most monsters) and , while "[[Crimson BladerAmazoness Sage]]" (for locking down opponent's high-Level Summons).

Since most Synchro-based decks requires flexibility, cards like "[[SolidarityAmazoness Empress]]" and "[[Rivalry of WarlordsAmazoness Pet Liger|Pet Liger]]" are not recommended in this build. * Xyz Build: Most Amazoness act as the boss monsters are Level 4of the archetype, with "Empress" preventing destruction by battle or card effect and is perfect for setting up Xyz Summonsgiving "Amazoness" monsters piercing damage while "Pet Liger" grants ATK reduction abilities to "Amazoness" monsters.

Duel Links]], Amazoness has typically appeared as a control deck focusing around the effects of "Princess", "[[Maestroke the Symphony Djinn]]Onslaught", and "Baby Tiger" with "Queen" only being available in the game through levelling [[Evilswarm OuroborosMai Valentine (Duel Links)]]"to her maximum level.=== Weaknesses ===* 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 " struggles against backrow removal such as Anti-Meta strategy utilizing Anti-Meta cards like "[[Kycoo the Ghost DestroyerCosmic Cyclone]]", and "[[Imperial Iron WallHarpie's Feather Duster]]", as "Onslaught" is their main form of Monster removal.Depending on how the deck is built, "[[Macro CosmosThere Can Be Only One]]", and "[[Vanity's EmptinessRivalry of Warlords]]", "can have different effectiveness as the archetype balances [[Thunder King Rai-OhWarrior]]" or even more obscure choices like "and [[Grave of the Super Ancient OrganismBeast]]" or Monsters, leaning more to one depending on builds."[[Summon LimitSkill Drain]]". and "[[Redox, Dragon Ruler of BouldersEffect Veiler]]" can also give this deck more resiliencybe problematic to any "Amazoness" decks, due to most of their monsters having Continuous Effects or effects that can only be useful while also opening access into Rank 7 Xyz Summonbattling. ===Recommended cards===
