{{InfoboxQuote|The tagline of ''[[Structure Deck R: Dragunity Drive]]'' in promotional material|A freezing world, the end looming over it.<br /Yu>Now once again, the dragon knights of gales take flight!!}}"'''Dragunity'''" (ドラグニティ ''Doraguniti'') is an [[archetype]] of [[WIND]] [[Dragon]] and [[Winged Beast]] monsters released in the [[Duel Terminal]] revolving around equipping Level 3 or lower Dragon Tuner monsters and [[Synchro Summon]]ing powerful monsters.==Lore=={{Main|Duel Terminal Master Guide card storylines|The Valuable Book EX card storylines#No. 10: Duel Terminal World Addendum: The Sealing of the Three Dragons}}== Design ===== Appearance ===The Dragon "Dragunity" all have armor which either covers most of their body ("[[Dragunity Phalanx]]"), or have a piece of armor that resembles, and is named after, a weapon (i.e. "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]"), or wielding the weapons themselves (i.e. "[[Dragunity 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 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 [[wikipedia:pole weapon|pole weapon]]s, except "[[Dragunity Arma Gram]]", or in case of "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" a formation performed with spears. Whereas the Synchro Monsters except for "[[Dragunity 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 their names (eg. "[[Dragunity Primus Pilus]]" and "[[Dragunity Tribus]]").The theme's first Link Monster, "[[Dragunity Knight - Romulus]]", is named after the founder and first king of Rome, whose [[wikipedia:Remus|twin brother]] inspired "[[Dragunity Remus]]". {| class="wikitable"!

"Dragunity Phalanx" and "Dragunity Couse" are key cards to enable this strategy, thanks to their inherent ability to Special Summon themselves from the Spell & Trap Zones after being equipped through the effect of a Winged Beast "Dragunity" 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. "Dragunity Knight - Barcha" is used the most, 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 Phalanx or Couse. If going second, a player can use "Dragunity Whirlwind", instantly granting a Synchro Summon without having to use a normal summon for "Dux" or "Senatus", while also setting up the Graveyard for later interactions with the tuner summoned by "Whirlwind".
'''Dragunity''' is an [[Archetype]] released in the [[Duel Terminal]]Contrary to their current state, the term "Dragunity" is deck historically had a portmanteau lack of the words ''Dragon'' and ''Unity''. Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any [[level]] 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] boss monsters in your [[Graveyard]] to your [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] monsters in play (in the sense of the [[Dragon]]-Types transforming into weapons, or the [[Winged-Beast]] relying on generic options like "DragunityStardust Dragon" monsters , "uniting" with their Red Dragon Archfiend"steedsor " as Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon"Dragunity Knights")to grant field presence. Because of their heavy focus on sending monsters A classic way to the Spell & Trap Card Zones, the combine "Dragunity" archetype monsters with some generic options is often compared to the Synchro Summon "[[Crystal Beast]]Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg" , to use its effect to search and then discard "[[Cyberdark]]Mist Valley Baby Roc" archetypes. They also utilize powerful [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[, which special summon itself directly after being discarded, enabling the Synchro Monsters]], although they require [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Tuner Monsters]] as well as [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] non-Tuners. All Summon of a relatively generic level 8 monster like the '''Dragunity''' monsters that have been released so far are [[WIND]] monstersaforementioned ones. However, so "[[Flying Kamakiri 1]]" and "[[Gozen Match]]" can be useful along with some other WIND support cards; and because many of them are Winged Beast-Type monsters, the Deck can run "[[Icarus Attack]]". The [[Dragon]]-Type monsters in this [[Archetype]] so far all have armor which either covers most release of their body ("[[Dragunity Phalanx]]Knight - Ascalon"), or they have a piece of armor that resembles, and is named after, a weapon (i.e. "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]Knight - Areadbhair"). By contrast, the [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] monsters seem to be named after historical warriors (Ex. - "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" is named after the common solider in the Roman army). Their archetype symbol is the green emerald for the [[Dragon]]-Type deck gained their own boss cards with abilities that banish opponents' monsters, and for the [[Winged Beast]]-Type monsters is the green emerald surrounded by a gold outline of wings. Like "[[Blackwings]]"effective monster negation, 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 costumes while the Tuner monsters are all small dragons <!-- Note: this isnalso residual effects when they't Dragon-Type monsters since it's just saying that they are dragons -->(whereas the "Blackwing" Tuner monsters are all small birds)re destroyed.
==Playing style==The main purpose of "DragunityKnight - Romulus" decks is to have versatile and easy [[Synchro Summon]]s. "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]Remus" is act as the searchers for the key card here - itarchetype's a level 2 Tuner monster that Special Summons when it is equipped to a monster. Thanks to the effects of "[[Dragunity Dux]]" spell and "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]"traps, you can easily summon Level 5 or 6 Synchro Monsters - however, if you decide to Synchro Summon most importantly "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]" with "Dux" and "PhalanxDragon Ravine", you can use one the main consistency engine of the deck's most powerful combos. "Vajrayana" is Besides searching for resources, each one also has a Level 6 monster second effect that can also equip a Level 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] provides ways for more Synchro Summons. The "Dragunity" monster from the Graveyard. Because Tuners also emphasize the use of "Once per turnCards of Consonance" effect as an essential part of "Phalanx" resets when it is sent to the deck, providing draw power while simultaneously setting up the Graveyardfor combo plays. Lastly, if you equip "Phalanx" it can Special Summon itself again and you can [[Synchro Summon]] a Level 8 [[Synchro Monster]] - effectively turning one card in your hand into a Level 8 monster from your [[Extra Deck]] (typically "Stardust Tempest, DragonRuler of Storms"). Another fast combo to summon Level 8 synchros is highly recommended to use be teched into the level 6 "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]." Its effect lets you special summon it by tributing deck to search a Dragunity Monster, Dragon and then it equips dump a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type Dragunity from WIND monster, preferably one of the graveyarddeck's combo tuners. Equipping Phalanx, With the plentiful search and then summoning it with its effect can grant you an instant Stardust Dragon. Howeverdraw engines, this card the "Dragunity" archetype has no way to be searched out because Dragon Ravine only searches level 4 or lower Dragunities a very reliable and adds them to your hand, so you would rely more on simply drawing it, but with the thinning power of the deck thanks to Ravine, it shouldn't be too much of a problemstable game plan.
This combo only requires Due to the synergy with Dragon, Winged Beast, and WIND monsters in general, the Deck can also be combined with splashable cards like "DuxBlackwing - Zephyros the Elite" in your hand and , "PhalanxGaruda the Wind Spirit" in your Graveyard, "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" and it is incredibly simple to set up with "Hieratic Seal of the help Heavenly Spheres". They are also one of the few archetypes that can benefit from "[[Dragon Ravine]]Windwitch"support, as they are unaffected by the latter's WIND monster restriction. With it, once per turn, you can discard a card to either add a (All "Dragunity" monster from your Deck to your hand or send any Dragon-Type monster from your Deck monsters are already WIND monsters). These series of cards are highly complementary to the Graveyard deck as “Windwitch - Ice Bell” acts as essentially turning any a one-card in your hand into either a gateway to "DragunityCrystal Wing Synchro Dragon" version of "[[Reinforcement of , a powerful monster the Army]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]Dragunity", which makes combos easyarchetype already utilizes.
Another good strategy for synchros is using "[[Dragunity Pilum]]" and "[[Dragunity Militum]]." Pilum allows you to summon a WingedThe high-Beast type Dragunity from your hand and equips itself to it, while Militum can special summon equipped Dragunities, allowing for a fast level 7 synchro for monsters like "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and "[[Dragunity Knight - Trident]]." However, the "Dragunity" monsters have many alternate strategies. Even without Synchro Monsters, function very differently from the archetype can hold its own in battle: "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" takes out tough monsters with its effect - you can send an equipped Dragon-Type monster to the graveyard to destroy one of your opponent's face-up other main deck monsters. This is especially useful with "[[Dragunity Aklys]]Arma Mystletainn", as when it is equipped and sent to the Graveyard, one card on the field is destroyed. As such, one of the main "Dragunity" combos is to Normal Summon "Legionnaire", equip "Aklys"a combo extender, providing material that facilitates further Synchro Summons and send it to the Graveyard to destroy one your opponent's Face-up monsters and another one of his/her cards, in a devastating one-two punch that costs you nothing. Howevereven Xyz Summons, this can be countered with "Enemy Controller"-since "Aklys" activates first (as Chain Link 2), you can chain "Enemy Controller" and steal their monster (this works if you only have one more monster) to get it killed by "Phalanx" effect. This also works with the second effect of "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]Luin", which can send a card equipped to itself to also unlocks the Graveyard to double its own ATK until the end use of the turn (which usually isn't used since a "Stardust DragonUltimaya Tzolkin" is preferable). If you equip and then send "AklysRomulus" to or another Link monster is in the GraveyardGY, you will end up with a 3800 ATK monster that turn while destroying one of your opponent's cards, allowing for big finishes. "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]Mystletainn", can easily facilitate the new ace summon and omni-negate effect of "DragunityBorreload Savage Dragon" monster, comes in [[Structure Deck: Dragunity Legion]]. This monster can be Special Summoned with ease from your hand or Graveyard by Banishing 1 Face-up monster you control equipped using itself with a most likely "DragunityPhalanx" card. In addition, when this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, you can select 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard other than "Dragunity Arma LeyvatenGram"is an extra weapon that is typically easy to summon after your initial combo plays, and equip it to it as an Equip Cardcan also aid link plays. If and when you equip Both Armas have synergy with "Phalanx" to "LeyvatenDragunity Glow", (whose graveyard effect allows you can Special Summon it to your field and using "Phalanx" and "Leyvaten" to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Trident Dragion]]". To make sure all special summon a monster in the "Leyvatens" are sent S/T zone equipped to your Graveyard swiftly and efficiently, a "[[Future Fusion]]Dragunity" and "[[Dragon Ravine]]" are recommended)====Recommended cards=========Monsters====={{Decklist|Dragunity

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. Note: Due to the wording on "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]"'s third effect, if a "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]" isn't in the graveyard when it goes, you can't summon it back on the field because the field didn't get cleared before you picked the monster to summon back. One way to counter this is to have a second Leyvaten in your graveyard ready to take its place. ====Recommended cards=========Monsters=====<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

It can also protect your "[[Dragon Ravine]]" from any destruction effects. * "[[Reborn TenguMetaverse]]": As well as being a good floater, you can use it with "Legionnaire" and "Phalanx" to Synchro Summon "Trishula" and lose no advantage. It also sets up your Graveyard for "Pot of Avarice". * "[[Cards of ConsonanceOmega Judgment]]": This card can be very good in a "Dragunity" deck. It's a 2 for that sets up your combos. However, the strongest "Dragunity" decks don't use a lot of targets for this card and aren't as likely to actually draw them as in Dragon Draw Exodia, so "Cards of Consonance" isn't as useful as it is in other decks.|counter traps =* "[[Icarus AttackDragunity Oubliette]]": While potentially useful, "Icarus Attack" is usually less than effective since in most cases you will be Synchro Summoning, not destroying cards with "Legionnaire". * "[[Pot of AvariceCentur-Ion True Awakening]]": This deck sends monsters to the Graveyard very quickly thanks to its Synchro Summons, 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". * "[[TerraformingMannadium Reframing]]": This card is the easiest way to search out "[[Dragon Ravine]]", so running two or three is recommended. This card can also serves as discard fodder for "[[Dragon Ravine]]"'s effect, so it will never be dead draw.|continuous traps =* "[[Future Fusion]]": This card can fill the Graveyard with 5 [[Dragon]]-Type "Dragunity" [[Tuner]] monsters (most notably "[[Dragunity PhalanxLegion]]") and summon "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" two turns later. However, the best "Dragunity" decks don't use more than four Dragon-Type monsters. * "[[Five-Headed DragonEtude of the Branded]]: Combine with "[[Future Fusion]]" 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.}}
* === Weaknesses ===Due to the reliance on "Dux", "Senatus", and the Tuner monsters to be in the Graveyard, hand traps like "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]", "[[Called by the Grave]]", "[[TD.GD. Hyper LibrarianCrow]]: "Dragunity" decks can easily Synchro , as well as removal effects that trigger upon its Summon level 5 Synchro Monsters with , such as cards like "[[Dragunity LegionnaireBottomless Trap Hole]]". Afterward, you can do be effective ways to disrupt the standard double Synchro Summon strategy. The first weakness was addressed with the release of "DuxSenatus" and "VajrayanaDivine Lance", and you will draw two cardsthat can equip "Dragunity" Tuners directly from the Deck.
* Also, as with any Graveyard-reliant Deck, the strategy is vulnerable to effects like that of "[[Blackwing - Zephyros the EliteDimension Shifter]]": Although it's not a "Dragunity" monster, it is useful for "Dragunity" because you can return a "Legionnaire" to your hand after using its effect and Special Summon "Zephyros[[Different Dimension Ground]]" or return a "Dux[[Macro Cosmos]]" to your hand after Special Summoning "Phalanx" and still get to Synchro Summon "Vajrayana" since "Zephyros" is a Winged Beast-Type monster, all of which can easily paralyze the Deck.
* The sequence of Summons also makes them vulnerable to "[[Foolish BurialNibiru, the Primal Being]]": Sending . However, if the goal of the turn is to Summon "Areadbhair"Zephyrosstarting with "Vajrayana/Barcha", or "AklysCrystal Wing Synchro Dragon", and with the "PhalanxWindwitch" engine, its Synchro Summon will be the fifth Summon of the turn, which makes it a good way to your Graveyard to set up combosprotect the Deck against this specific threat.==Weakness==
Competitively Dragunities have not gotten far this format (Sept 2011). There are a few reasons. The first == Trivia ==* Their archetype symbol is that without their Field Spell, they are very difficult to win with. "Mystical Space Typhoon" can be chained to "Dragon Ravine's" effect, which means the player with "Dragon Ravine" will be required to pay green emerald for the cost and "Dragon Ravine's" effect will not resolve. "[[D.D. Crow]]" monsters, and "[[Chain Disappearance]]" are used to Banish "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" and "[[Dragunity Aklys]]". "[[Macro Cosmos]]" and "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" also murder for the deck. "[[Maxx "C"]]", while not actually stopping anything, means that if you proceed to Synchro Summon, your opponent will draw a ton of cards. "[[Effect Veiler]]", on Winged Beast monsters is the other hand, stops the Synchro Summons from the beginning green emerald surrounded by leaving you with a weaker monstergold outline of wings. However, "Dragunity" Decks also have ways of dealing * As with these cards. the "[[DebunkBlackwing]]" (which archetype, there is even a passable Main Deck card heavy distinction between the Tuner monsters and the non-Tuner monsters in this format due terms of appearance. Similar to the common use of "[[Maxx Blackwings"C"]], "[[Gorz the Emissary non-Tuner monsters are all humanoids in bird outfits with mechanical-like wings, while the Tuner monsters are composed of Darkness]]"small, and armored dragons (whereas the "[[Effect Veiler]]Blackwing"Tuner monsters are all small birds) stops the aforementioned cards, while "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" stops "[[D.D. Crow]]* Their " rider and mount"[[Chain Dissappearance]]style, as depicted in their "-the downside is that it stops Dragunity Knight"[[Trishulaforms, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" and "[[Orient Dragon]]". An alternative is "[[Chaos Hunter]]"are also adopted by later archetypes, although it's more risky. such as "[[Malefic Stardust DragonGusto]]" and "[[Field BarrierRitual Beast]]" both protect "[[Dragon Ravine]]" from destruction(albeit with different types and mechanics).{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox}}{{Archseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}[[Category:Archetypes]]{{Duel Terminal}}[[Category:Deck TypeTCG and OCG archetypes]]
