The artworks of the "Dragunity Knight" monsters generally showcase a "Dragunity" Winged Beast monster riding a mature/transformed version of a Dragon'' and ''Unity''Tuner monster, which is implied by their Levels, that are a sum of the Levels of the corresponding pair of "Dragunities". Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any Most of the Dragon Main Deck "Dragunity" Monsters are named after general types of [[wikipedia:pole weapon|pole weapon]]s, except "[[levelDragunity Arma Gram]] 3 ", or lower in case of "[[DragonDragunity Phalanx]]-" a formation performed with spears. Whereas the Synchro Monsters except for "[[TypeDragunity Knight - Gormfaobhar]] " are named after specific spears in European and Indian mythology. By contrast, 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 with higher Levels and stats have a corresponding higher rank or title in your their names (eg. "[[GraveyardDragunity Primus Pilus]] to your " and "[[Winged BeastDragunity Tribus]]-").The theme's first Link Monster, "[[TypeDragunity Knight - Romulus]] monsters in play (in ", is named after the sense founder and first king of the Rome, whose [[Dragonwikipedia:Remus|twin brother]]-Types transforming into weapons, or the inspired "[[Winged-BeastDragunity Remus]] Dragunity monsters "uniting. {| class="wikitable" with their !

"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.

It can also protect your "|xyz monsters =* [[Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon RavineTitanic Galaxy]]" from any destruction effects. * "[[Mist Valley FalconHieratic Sky Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis]]" : A decent attacker (2000 ATK), with abilities to return cards to reuse it. Perfect for reusing "* [[Dragunity LegionnaireVoloferniges, the Darkest Dragon Doomrider]]". * "[[Icarus AttackDark Armed, the Dragon of Annihilation]]" : By Tributing a * [[Winged-Beast]] Dragunity monster (preferably Legionnaire whose effects already used outBlaze, or Dux whose threatened by [[Bottomless Trap HoleSupreme Ruler of Dragons]]), you can easily destroy 2 cards. Good as counter-strategies. * "[[Cards Hieratic Dragon King of ConsonanceAtum]]": This card is very good in a Dragunity deck. You need to send Dragon-type Tuner monsters to the graveyard so they can be equipped with Dux and Legionnaire, and Dragunities have more valid targets than any other deck - "* [[Dragunity Aklys|AklysEvolzar Lars]]", "* [[Dragunity Brandistock|BrandistockSuperdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max]]", "** [[Dragunity Corsesca|CorsescaSuperdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe]]", "|link monsters =* [[Dragunity Darkspear|DarkspearKnight - Romulus]]", and "* [[Dragunity Phalanx|PhalanxBorreload Dragon]]". * "[[Pot of AvariceCrystron Halqifibrax]]": This deck can send monsters to the Graveyard very quickly thanks to its massive Synchro Summons (obviously utilizing Traditional Format only)* [[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana|Dux-Phalanx-VajrayanaGreatfly]] combo), discards from "Cards of Consonance" and "Dragon Ravine", and plain destruction by battle. "Pot of Avarice" rewards the filling of the graveyard with two new cards, as well as a chance to get another use out of used "Duxes", "Darkspears" and/or "Legionnaires". * "[[TerraformingGuardragon Elpy]]": This card is the easiest way to search out "(Traditional Format only)* [[Dragon RavineGuardragon Pisty]]", so running two or three is recommended. This card can also serves as discard fodder for "* [[Dragon RavineHraesvelgr, the Desperate Doom Eagle]]"'s effect, so it will never be dead draw. * "[[Future Fusion]]": This card can fill Hieratic Seal of the graveyard with 5 [[DragonHeavenly Spheres]]-Type Dragunity * [[tunerWynn the Wind Charmer, Verdant]] monsters (most notably "|normal spells =* [[Dragunity PhalanxGlow]]") and summon "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" two turns later. However, it will also make * [[Cards of Consonance]] less useful (unless you're playing Leyvaten Rider build). Just remember that if you activate this card, then you won't need * [[Cards of ConsonanceDragon Shrine]] as much because you've pretty much set up your * [[Trident DragionFoolish Burial]] * [[OTKMonster Reborn]]. (send a Phalanx and Leyvaten and then all you need is a Dux or Legionarre.) * "[[Five-Headed Return of the DragonLords]]: Combine with "* [[Future FusionTerraforming]]" to fill the grave and have a massive monster two turns later. It may not stay on the field for a long time, but it will give you lots of access to quick Dragunity combos. * "[[T.G. Hyper LibrarianReady Fusion]]: Dragunity decks can easily Synchro Summon level 5 Synchro Monsters with * [[Dragunity LegionnaireSynchro Creed]] and * [[Dragunity PhalanxSynchro Rumble]], since most Dragunity decks usually Synchro Summon level 8 Synchro Monsters primarily by Synchro Summoning twice using |equip spells =* [[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana|Dux-Phalanx-Vajrayana comboDivine Lance]], you will draw two cards which adding more draw power and more speed and consistency, having discard fodders for |field spells =* [[Dragon Ravine]] and secure your Hand Advantage as well as being a good beatstick with its 2400 ATK.|continuous spells = * "[[Spiritual Wind Art - MiyabiDragunity Draft]]": Alternative for * [[Icarus AttackWorld Legacy Guardragon]], but in most cases this card has significant advantage over "[[Icarus Attack]]", as it can Tribute any WIND monster (most Dragunities are WIND anyway), and also can bypass [[Stardust Dragon]]'s anti|quick-destruction effect. And in some cases, can save play spells =* [[Dragunity PhalanxWhirlwind]] from [[Chain Disappearance]]. * "[[Blackwing - Zephyros Saga of the Elite]]": Although it's not a Dragunity member, it is useful for Dragunity decks in creating more combos for Synchro Summon, or reusing [[Dragunity Legionnaire]] or [[Dragon RavineEmperor]]. |normal traps =* "[[Trident DagionGuardragon Cataclysm]]": Great for OTK Dragunity deck.All you need is * [[Dragunity AklysBack to the Front]] and * [[Dragunity Arma LeyvatenMetaverse]] in your hand and * [[Dragunity PhalanxOmega Judgment]] in the graveyard.First,normal summon |counter traps =* [[Dragunity AklysOubliette]]and then special summon * [[Dragunity Arma LeyvatenCentur-Ion True Awakening]] from your hand.* [[Dragunity Arma LeyvatenMannadium Reframing]] will grap |continuous traps =* [[Dragunity PhalanxLegion]], who will be special summoned.Now you synchro summon * [[Trident DragionEtude of the Branded]], then breaking two cards you control(propabbly your equiped [[Dragunity Aklys]]) and then giving to [[Trident Dragion]] two additional attacks, allowing for OTK.}}
== 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]]
