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" and "Dragunity Couse" are key cards to enable this strategy, thanks to their inherent ability to Special Summon themselves from the Graveyard. Because Spell & Trap Zones after being equipped through the effect of a Winged Beast "Once per turnDragunity" effect monster. The most basic combo consists of equipping them to "Dragunity Dux" or "Dragunity Senatus" in order to rapidly climb to the high-level Synchro Monster. "PhalanxDragunity Knight - Barcha" resets when it is sent to used the graveyardmost, if you being able to equip as many "Dragunity" monsters from the Graveyard as possible to enable multiple Synchro Summons and even Link Summons with multiple copies of Phalanxor Couse. If going second, it a player can Special Summonuse "Dragunity Whirlwind", and you can [[instantly granting a Synchro Summon]] without having to use a level 8 [[Synchro Monster]] - effectively turning one card in your hand into a level 8 monster from your [[Extra Deck]]normal summon for "Dux" or "Senatus", while also setting up the Graveyard for later interactions with the tuner summoned by "Whirlwind".

When you summon "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]", equip "Light and Darkness Dragon" to it. Whenever it or "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" is destroyed, your field will be destroyed by Garuda the effect of "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]". Then, use "Light and Darkness Dragon's" other effect to Special Summon "Leyvaten" from your graveyard, re-equip "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" to it and repeat. The only weakness in this loop is cards that can remove the two monsters from play, or send them back to the hand or deck. Another piece of advice worth mentioning is that if you equip your opponent's monster with a piercing card like "[[Fairy Meteor Crush]]" or "[[Big Bang ShotWind Spirit]]" and they attack your Leyvaten, ''the opponent'' gets the difference as damage because the spell card is yours and not your opponent's. This means that you can stop very powerful monsters in your opponent's Monster Zone from attacking if you can maintain the card loop. ====Recommended cards=========Monsters=====<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

== 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}}{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox (anime)}}[[Category:Archetypes]]{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{Duel Terminal}}[[Category:Deck TypeTCG and OCG archetypes]]
