{{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 Graveyarddeck, 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 Dragon").You can also equip "Aklys" to "Vajrayana" so when you send "Aklys" to providing draw power while simultaneously setting up the Graveyard to double "Vajrayana" ATK you can destroy 1 card on the field. Another fast for combo to summon Level 8 synchros is to use the level 6 "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]plays.Lastly, " Its effect lets you special summon it by tributing a Dragunity MonsterTempest, and then it equips a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type Dragunity from Ruler of Storms" is highly recommended to be teched into the graveyard. Equipping Phalanx, and then summoning it with its effect can grant you an instant Stardust Dragon. However, this card has no way deck to be searched out because search a Dragon Ravine only searches level 4 or lower Dragunities and adds them to your handdump a WIND monster, so you would rely more on simply drawing it, but with the thinning power preferably one of the deck thanks to Ravine's combo tuners. With the plentiful search and draw engines, it shouldn't be too much of the "Dragunity" archetype has a problemvery reliable and stable 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 The high-level "[[Dragunity Pilum]]" and monsters function very differently from the other main deck monsters. "[[Dragunity Militum]].Arma Mystletainn" Pilum allows you to summon is a Winged-Beast type Dragunity from your hand combo extender, providing material that facilitates further Synchro Summons and equips itself to it, while Militum can special summon equipped Dragunitieseven Xyz Summons, allowing for a fast level 7 synchro for monsters like "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and with "[[Dragunity Knight - Trident]].LuinHowever, also unlocks the use of "DragunityUltimaya Tzolkin" monsters have many alternate strategies. Even without Synchro MonstersIf "Romulus" or another Link monster is in the GY, the archetype can hold its own in battle: "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]Mystletainn" takes out tough monsters with its effect - you can send an equipped Dragoneasily facilitate the summon and omni-Type monster to the graveyard to destroy one negate effect of your opponent's face-up monsters. This is especially useful "Borreload Savage Dragon", by using itself with most likely "[[Dragunity Aklys]]Phalanx", as when it is equipped and sent to the Graveyard, one card on the field is destroyed. As such, one of the main "DragunityArma Gram" combos is an extra weapon that is typically easy to Normal Summon "Legionnaire", equip "Aklys"summon after your initial combo plays, 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 nothingcan also aid link plays. However, this can be countered Both Armas have synergy with "Enemy Controller"-since "AklysDragunity Glow" activates first (as Chain Link 2), you can chain "Enemy Controller" and steal their monster (this works if whose graveyard effect allows you only have one more to special summon a monster) to get it killed by "Phalanx" effect. This also works with in the second effect of "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]", which can send a card S/T zone equipped to itself to the Graveyard to double its own ATK until the end of the turn (which usually isn't used since a "Stardust DragonDragunity" is preferable). If you equip and then send "Aklys" to the Graveyard, you will end up with a 3800 ATK monster that turn while destroying one of your opponent's cards, allowing for big finishes. ====Recommended cards===={{Decklist|Dragunity<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

==Leyvaten Rider==
You can make a loop with "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]". 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 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.
 
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.

It can also protect your "[[Dragon RavineGuardragon Cataclysm]]" from any destruction effects. * "[[Reborn Tengu]]": As well as being a good floater, you can use it with "Legionnaire" and "Phalanx" Back to Synchro Summon "Trishula" and lose no advantage. It also sets up your Graveyard for "Pot of Avarice". * "[[Cards of Consonancethe Front]]": 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. * "[[Icarus AttackMetaverse]]": 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 AvariceOmega Judgment]]": 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".|counter traps =* "[[Terraforming]]": 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 RavineDragunity Oubliette]]"'s effect, so it will never be dead draw. * "[[Future Fusion]]": This card can fill the Graveyard with 5 [[Dragon]]Centur-Type "Dragunity" [[TunerIon True Awakening]] monsters (most notably "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]") and summon "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" two turns later. However, the best "Dragunity" decks don't use more than four Dragon-Type monsters. * "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]: Combine with "[[Future FusionMannadium Reframing]]" 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.|continuous traps =* "[[T.G. Hyper Librarian]]: "Dragunity" decks can easily Synchro Summon level 5 Synchro Monsters with "[[Dragunity LegionnaireLegion]]". Afterward, you can do the standard double Synchro Summon with "Dux" and "Vajrayana", and you will draw two cards. * "[[Blackwing - Zephyros Etude of the EliteBranded]]": 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" or return a "Dux" to your hand after Special Summoning "Phalanx" and still get to Synchro Summon "Vajrayana" since "Zephyros" is a Winged Beast-Type monster. * "[[Foolish Burial]]": Sending "Zephyros", "Aklys", and "Phalanx" to your Graveyard to set up combos.==Weakness==}}
In === Weaknesses ===Due to the competitive scene, Dragunities have almost completely wiped out during this September 2011 format due to this Archetype is considered having too many weaknesses. One of them is their signature Field Spell reliance on "[[Dragon Ravine]]Dux", which is the core of most Dragunity decks. "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" can be chained to "Dragon Ravine'sSenatus" effect, which means nullifying their main search power and gave themselves -1 advantage due the Tuner monsters to be in the cost already paid. Graveyard, hand traps like "[[D.D. CrowEffect Veiler]]" and , "[[Chain DisappearanceGhost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]" are used to Banish , "[[Dragunity PhalanxCalled by the Grave]]" and , "[[Dragunity AklysD.D. Crow]]", while "[[Macro Cosmos]]" and as well as removal effects that trigger upon its Summon, such as cards like "[[Dimensional FissureBottomless Trap Hole]]" paralyze the deck further, due can be effective ways to their Graveyard-reliant disrupt the strategy. The first weakness was addressed with the release of "[[Maxx Senatus"Cand "]]Divine Lance", now almost every duelist have 3 in their main Deck, putting more mind pressure on any that can equip "Dragunity players. "[[Effect Veiler]]", on Tuners directly from the other hand, stops the Dux-Phalanx-Vajrayana combo in their tracks, leaving your monsters more vulnerableDeck.
Synchro Summon decks(mainly Also, as with Plant Synchro engine) is the most dangerous, due to the fact that they can Special Summon large amount of monsters (sometimes even 10 or more Special Summons in one turn), and also having many counters in both their Main and Side any Graveyard-reliant Deck, completely outspeed Dragunity in many ways. Despite the numerous disadvantages they had, "Dragunity" Decks also have ways of dealing with these cards. "[[Debunk]]" (which strategy is even a passable Main Deck card in this format due vulnerable to the common use effects like that of "[[Maxx "C"Dimension Shifter]], "[[Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]]", and "[[Effect Veiler]]") stops the aforementioned cards, while "[[Imperial Iron WallDifferent Dimension Ground]]" completely annihilate any and all banishing attempts. "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]" (or even "[[Card GuardMacro Cosmos]]") becomes more important in this deck, due to its easy-to-Summon nature, also adding a layer all of defense on your "[[Dragon Ravine]]", which is a good thing for your future playscan easily paralyze the Deck.
{{Archetype navbox}}The sequence of Summons also makes them vulnerable to "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]". However, if the goal of the turn is to Summon "Areadbhair" starting with "Vajrayana/Barcha", or "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon" with the "Windwitch" engine, its Synchro Summon will be the fifth Summon of the turn, which makes it a good way to protect the Deck against this specific threat.
== 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 "[[Category:ArchetypesBlackwing]]" 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}}{{Archseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{Duel Terminal}}[[Category:Deck TypeTCG and OCG archetypes]]
