Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any all have armor which either covers most of their body ("[[levelDragunity Phalanx]] 3 "), or lower have a piece of armor that resembles, and is named after, a weapon (i.e. "[[DragonDragunity Darkspear]]-"), or wielding the weapons themselves (i.e. "[[TypeDragunity Arma Leyvaten]] "). === Etymology ==="Dragunity" is a portmanteau of "dragon" and "unity", referring to the underlying concept of uniting the humanoid warriors to the dragonic weapons to form powerful knights. The artworks of the "Dragunity Knight" monsters in your generally showcase a "Dragunity" Winged Beast monster riding a mature/transformed version of a Dragon Tuner monster, which is implied by their Levels, that are a sum of the Levels of the corresponding pair of "Dragunities".Most of the Dragon Main Deck "Dragunity" Monsters are named after general types of [[Graveyardwikipedia:pole weapon|pole weapon]] to your s, except "[[Winged BeastDragunity Arma Gram]]-", or in case of "[[TypeDragunity Phalanx]] monsters in play (in the sense of " a formation performed with spears. Whereas the Synchro Monsters except for "[[DragonDragunity Knight - Gormfaobhar]]-Types transforming into weapons" are named after specific spears in European and Indian mythology. By contrast, or the [[Winged-Beast]] "Dragunity " monsters are all named after military or diplomatic ranks/titles or general terms of administration all used by the roman empire. In consequence, monsters "uniting" with higher Levels and stats have a corresponding higher rank or title in their Dragon names (eg. "steeds[[Dragunity Primus Pilus]]" as and "[[Dragunity KnightsTribus]]"). Because of their heavy focus on sending monsters to the Spell & Trap Card ZonesThe theme's first Link Monster, the "[[Dragunity archetype Knight - Romulus]]", is often compared to named after the founder and first king of Rome, whose [[Crystal Beastwikipedia:Remus|twin brother]] and inspired "[[CyberdarkDragunity Remus]] archetypes".

"[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" is the and "Dragunity Couse" are key card here - it's a level 2 tuner that cards to enable this strategy, thanks to their inherent ability to Special Summons when it is Summon themselves from the Spell & Trap Zones after being equipped to through the effect of a Winged Beast "Dragunity" monster. Thanks The most basic combo consists of equipping them to the effects of "[[Dragunity Dux]]" and or "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]Senatus", you can easily summon in order to rapidly climb to the high-level 5 or 6 Synchro Monsters - however, if you decide to Synchro Summon Monster. "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]Barcha" with is used the most, being able to equip as many "DuxDragunity" monsters from the Graveyard as possible to enable multiple Synchro Summons and "even Link Summons with multiple copies of Phalanx"or Couse. If going second, you a player can use one of the deck's most powerful combos. "VajrayanaDragunity Whirlwind" is , instantly granting a level 6 monster that can also equip Synchro Summon without having to use a Dragunity Dragon monster from the graveyard. Because the normal summon for "once per turnDux" effect of or "PhalanxSenatus" resets when it is sent to , while also setting up the Graveyard for later interactions with the graveyard, if you equip Phalanx, it can Special Summon, and you can Synchro Summon a level 8 monster - effectively turning one card in your hand into a level 8 monster from your Extra Decktuner summoned by "Whirlwind".

== Trivia ==* Their archetype symbol is the green emerald for the Dragon monsters, and for the Winged Beast monsters is the green emerald surrounded by a gold outline of wings.* As with the "[[Blackwing]]" archetype, 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 outfits with mechanical-like wings, while the Tuner monsters are composed of small, armored dragons (whereas the "Blackwing" Tuner monsters are all small birds).* Their "rider and mount" style, as depicted in their "Dragunity Knight" forms, are also adopted by later archetypes, such as "[[Gusto]]" and "[[Ritual Beast]]" (albeit with different types and mechanics).{{Archseries navbox}}{{Archseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{ArchetypeNavboxDuel Terminal}}[[Category:ArchetypesTCG and OCG archetypes]]
