{{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".

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 DragonWind Spirit]]". 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. 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.

Throw in a "[[Dark Simorgh]]" for even more chaos and combos.Also, a Winged Beast-Type "Blackwing" monster can Synchro with "Phalanx" and "Aklys" to make "[[Dragunity Knight - VajrayanaRumble]]", which allows for even more Synchro Summoning power. "Gae Dearg" can also search for any level 4 or lower "Blackwing" monsters, allowing you to send "Zephyros" to your Graveyard or add "Gale" and "Bora" to your hand. |equip spells ====Recommended cards=========Monsters=====<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.
