Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any 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 "uniting" 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 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 "[[DragunityKnight - Romulus]]" archetype , is often compared to named after the founder and first king of Rome, whose [[wikipedia:Remus|twin brother]] inspired "[[Crystal BeastDragunity Remus]]" and . {| class="wikitable"!

"DragunityPhalanx" and " monster 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 "PhalanxDragunity Dux" or "Dragunity Senatus" in order to rapidly climb to the high-level Synchro Monster. "Dragunity Knight - Barcha" resets when it is sent to used the Graveyardmost, if you being able to equip as many "PhalanxDragunity" it can Special Summon itself again monsters from the Graveyard as possible to enable multiple Synchro Summons and you even Link Summons with multiple copies of Phalanx or Couse. If going second, a player can [[use "Dragunity Whirlwind", 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]] (typically normal summon for "Dux" or "Senatus", while also setting up the Graveyard for later interactions with the tuner summoned by "Stardust DragonWhirlwind").

== 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]]
