"'''Elemental HERO'''" ({{Ruby|E・HERO|エレメンタルヒーロー}} ''Erementaru Hīrō'') is a "[[HERO]]" sub-[[archetype]] of mostly [[Warrior]] monsters used by both [[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Aster Phoenix]] (for a period of time until the latter changed to the "[[Destiny HERO]]" archetype) in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. The former also used this archetype, along with his mentor [[Koyo Hibiki]], in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' manga. They are used by [[Fusion Mask]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]] manga.
They were designed by [[Kazuki Takahashi]], and are based on comic-book superheroes in the anime and on natural elements in the manga.
"Elemental HERO" Decks focus heavily on [[Fusion Summon]]ing. Most of these fall into two primary "Elemental HERO" monsters categories that can be fused with one another: [[Normal Monster]]s from the anime (monsters that are specifically required as materials for Fusion Summons) and the manga counterparts that also have effects (while the [[Fusion Monster]]s require generic [[Fusion Material]]s).
==Design==The "'''Elemental HERO'''" (Japanese: {{Ruby|E・HERO|エレメンタルヒーロー}} monsters are based after the western comics''Erementaru Hīrō'') is a heroes, and as the name implies, they each represent an aspect of nature. This goes beyond only representing classical elements like earth, fire or water; "[[Elemental HEROWildheart]]" sub-[[archetype]] of mostly [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]], used mainly by [[Jaden Yuki]] in for example, represents the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime and in its [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|manga adaptation]]wilderness. Their [[Aster Phoenix]] and [[Koyo HibikiFusion Monster]] have also used them in s typically combine the anime and manga, respectively. They were designed by [[Kazuki Takahashi]], and are themed after comic-book superheroes aspects from the anime and are based off natural elements in the manga. "Elemental HERO" Decks focus heavily on their [[Fusion SummonMaterial]]ing. Most of the primary "Elemental HERO" monsters can be fused with one another, allowing for an enormous amount of flexibility in a dedicated Decks.
==GroupingPlaying style==The "[[Elemental HERO Avian|Avian]]", "archetype has many [[Elemental HERO Burstinatrix|BurstinatrixMain Deck]]", "monsters and [[Elemental HERO Clayman|ClaymanExtra Deck]]" and "[[Elemental HERO Bubbleman|Bubbleman]]" are often grouped together because there is at least one Fusion Monster for each pair of them (except "Clayman" and "Avian"), as well as "[[Elemental HERO Electrum]]" using all four as [[Fusion Material]]s, each with their own varied effects. "[[Elemental HERO Necroshade|Necroshade]]"Historically, the archetype can be built to focus on their Main Deck monsters or their Fusion Monsters; currently, the Main Deck "[[Elemental HERO Wildheart|Wildheart]]" and "[[Elemental HERO Bladedge|Bladedge]]" monsters are often grouped together because there is at least one Fusion Monster for each pair too weak in contrast to the general power level of themthe game, except "Necroshade" and later "Bladedge". Even though "[[Elemental HERO Sparkman|Sparkman]]" was introduced very early on and is usually on cards like "support leaned into their [[Fifth Hope]]" and "[[HERO's Bond]]" with the first group, it only has a 2 Material Fusion Monster with "Clayman" (and the 3 Material "[[Elemental HERO TempestSummon]]"), unlike the rest; however, "Sparkman" does have Fusion Monsters with "Necroshade" and "Bladedge", making it questionable which he should be grouped ining playstyle more favorably.
An "Elemental HERO Neos" falls under no group within Deck can consider running "[[King of the Swamp]]" and other [[Fusion Substitute Monster]]s for "Elemental HERO" monsters, and is instead seen as having his own group Fusion Monsters with a different archetype, the "Neo-Spacians"specified materials.
== Playing style ==Other "Elemental HERO" Decks mainly focus on using cards like support===Within the entire "[[Miracle FusionHERO]]"meta-archetype, the "Elemental HERO" archetypal playstyle is strongly supported by the "[[PolymerizationVision HERO]]", and combo ("[[Super PolymerizationVision HERO Faris|Faris]]" to → "[[Fusion SummonVision HERO Increase|Increase]] a variety of " → "[[Fusion MonsterVision HERO Vyon|Vyon]]s. For "Elemental HERO) since "Vyon" Fusion Monsters with specified names, can search out "[[King of the SwampPolymerization]]" and can [[send]] "[[Elemental HERO WoodsmanShadow Mist]]" can be used to search/recycle copies of "the [[PolymerizationGY]]to search out more needed "Elemental HERO" monsters. It has also become common to play The "Vision HERO" [[Xyz Fusion Monster]]s like , "[[Number 39: UtopiaVision Hero Adoration|Adoration]]",and " [[Dark Rebellion Xyz DragonVision HERO Trinity|Trinity]]",are also good options for an "[[Steelswarm Roach]]", Elemental HERO"Deck to run due to their generic Fusion [[Blade Armor NinjaMaterial]]s of just any " and "[[Maestroke the Symphony Djinn]]HERO"monsters.
===How "Elemental HERO" monsters can be supports other "HERO" sub-archetypes===On the other side, the "Elemental HERO" archetype (specifically, a few individual members) are vital combo pieces to the overall "[[Searcher|SearchedHERO]] from " meta-archetype playstyle. The most important "Elemental HERO" monster with regards to the Deck using entire "HERO" archetype is "[[E Elemental HERO Stratos]]", a non-once- Emergency Callper-turn searcher for all "HERO" monsters and the ideal choice for "[[A Hero Lives]], ". "[[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist]]" is a once-per-turn searcher for all "HERO" monsters when [[Reinforcement of sent]] to the Army[[GY]](usually by "[[Vision HERO Vyon]]"), but it is also a searcher for "[[Change]]" [[A Hero LivesSpell Card]]s, which enables the [[Hero SignalSpecial Summon]] of the powerful "[[Masked HERO]]" monsters (most notably "[[Masked HERO Dark Law|Dark Law]], " and "[[Summoner MonkMasked HERO Acid|Acid]] (who would also be a good qualification", since usually Summoned by using "HEROAbsolute Zero" decks rely on to perform a lot board wipe); the variety of [[Spell CardAttribute]]s to add the "Elemental HERO" monsters have makes them ideal for summoning "Masked HERO" monsters with "Mask Change" or "[[Mask Change II]]" (while the Levels of "Masked HERO" Fusion Monsters align with those of "Elemental HERO" Fusion-Material Monstersfor "[[Form Change]] to your hand and "), making "Masked HERO" monsters good options even in a pure "Elemental HERO" build. In return, "Masked HERO" monsters themselves can be fused together for "[[Fusion SummonContrast HERO Chaos]])" for its useful Quick Effect to negate a card's effects on the field.

===Weaknesses===
* "Elemental HERO" monsters often lack protection, and as such the player can often easily have their [[field]] cleared by mass destruction cards and effects like "[[Dark Hole]]", "[[Raigeki]]" and "[[Evenly Matched]]".
* Pure "Elemental HERO" monsters have very weak disruption and oppression power, having little ability to disrupt or prevent the opponent's plays.
* "[[Gozen Match]]" can significantly disrupt a pure "Elemental HERO" Deck due to their variety of [[Attribute]]s.
* As all "Elemental HERO" non-[[Contact Fusion|Contact]] Fusion Monsters [[Nomi|cannot be]] [[Special Summon]]ed in other ways than [[Fusion Summon]], cards like "[[Non-Fusion Area]]" and "[[Dimensional Barrier]]" can prevent these Fusion Monsters from being Summoned easily. Furthermore, cards like "[[Nekroz of Unicore]]" can have their effects negated.
* As "Elemental HERO" monsters are mostly Warrior-Type, cards such as "[[Cipher Soldier]]", "[[Warrior Elimination]]" and "[[There Can Be Only One]]" can pose as a threat to such decks.
