'''"Dragunity"''' is an [[archetype]] released in Contrary to their current state, the [[Duel Terminal]]. 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]] monsters in your [[Graveyard]] to your [[Winged Beast]]-Type boss monsters in play (in the sense of the Dragon-Types transforming into weapons, or the Winged-Beast relying on generic options like "Dragunity" monsters "uniting" with their Stardust Dragon "steeds" as "Dragunity Knights"). Because of their heavy focus on sending monsters to the Spell & Trap Card Zones, the "DragunityRed Dragon Archfiend" archetype is often compared to the or "[[Crystal Beast]]" and "[[Cyberdark]]" archetypes. They also utilize powerful Dragon-Type [[Wing Synchro Monster]]s, although they require Dragon-Type [[Tuner monster]]s as well as Winged Beast-Type non-Tuners.  All of the "Dragunity" monsters that have been released so far are [[WIND]] monsters, 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]]"to grant field presence. The Dragon-Type monsters in this archetype so far all have armor which either covers most of their body ("[[Dragunity Phalanx]]"), or they have a piece of armor that resembles, and is named after, a weapon (i.e. "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]"). By contrast, the Winged Beast-Type monsters seem A classic way to be named after historical warriors (Ex. - combine "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" is named after the common solider in the Roman army). Their archetype symbol is the green emerald for the Dragon-Type monsters, and for the [[Winged Beast]]-Type 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 costumes while the Tuner monsters are all small armored dragons <!-- Note: this isn't Dragon-Type monsters since it's just saying that they are dragons -->(whereas the "Blackwing" Tuner monsters are all small birds). ==Playing style==The main purpose of "Dragunity" decks some generic options is to have versatile and easy [[Synchro Summon]]s. "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" is the key card here Knight - it's a level 2 Tuner monster that Special Summons when it is equipped to a monster. Thanks to the effects of "[[Dragunity Dux]]" and Gae Dearg"[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]", you can easily summon Level 5 or 6 Synchro Monsters - however, if you decide to Synchro Summon "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]" with "Dux" and "Phalanx", you can use one of the deck's most powerful combos. "Vajrayana" is a Level 6 monster that can also equip a Level 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] "Dragunity" monster from the Graveyard. Because the "Once per turn" its effect of to search and then discard "PhalanxMist Valley Baby Roc" resets when it is sent to the Graveyard, if you equip "Phalanx" it can Special Summon which 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 the Graveyard to double "Vajrayana" ATK you can destroy 1 card on the field. Another fast combo to Synchro Summon Level 8 Synchro Monsters is to use the Level 6 "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]". Its effect lets you Special Summon it by Tributing a Dragunity Monsterdirectly after being discarded, and then it equips a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type "Dragunity" monster from enabling the Graveyard. Equipping "Phalanx" and then Special Summoning will allow you to Synchro Summon of a Level relatively generic level 8 Synchro Monster.  This combo only requires "Dux" in your hand and "Phalanx" in your Graveyard, and it is incredibly simple to set up with the help of "[[Dragon Ravine]]". With it, once per turn, you can discard a card to either add a "Dragunity" monster from your Deck to your hand or send any Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard - essentially turning any card in your hand into either a Dragunity version of "[[Reinforcement of like the Army]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]", which makes combos easy. Another move is to play "Pilum", which Summons a "Dragunity" Winged Beast. By Summoning "Militum" with this effect, "Militum" can Summon back "Pilum" and Synchro for "Trident" or another Level 7 Synchro Monsteraforementioned ones. However, the "Dragunity" monsters have many alternate strategies. Even without Synchro Monsters, 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 release of your opponent's face-up monsters. This is especially useful with "[[Dragunity Aklys]]Knight - Ascalon", 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", 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. This also works with the second effect of "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]Areadbhair", which can send a card equipped to itself to the Graveyard to double its deck gained their own ATK until the end of the turn. If you equip and then send "Aklys" to the Graveyard, you will end up boss cards with a 3800 ATK monster abilities that turn while destroying one of your opponentbanish opponents's cardsmonsters, allowing for big finishes. With the release of "[[Hieratic Dragon King of Atum]]" in ''[[Galactic Overlord]]''effective monster negation, this deckand also residual effects when they's capable of alternate method of swarming, combined with "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" for reusing your "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]" and "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]] for Rank 6 Xyz Summons, or just reviving your fallen Dragons for another beating round. This, in turn, will give you stronger field presence. ==Classic Dragunity==This build focusing on the classic Dux-Phalanx-Vajrayana combo for swarming the Field with Level 6 or 8 Synchro Monsters. ====Recommended cards=========Monsters=====* [[Dragunity Phalanx]]* [[Dragunity Aklys]]* [[Dragunity Legionnaire]]* [[Dragunity Dux]]* [[Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite]] =====Spells=====<!-- This is not an exact Decklistre destroyed.

==Leyvaten Rider==You can make a loop with 2 "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]Knight - Romulus" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]". When you Summon a "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]Remus"act as the searchers for the archetype's spell and traps, equip "Light and Darkness Dragonmost importantly " to it. Whenever it or "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]Ravine" is destroyed, your field will be destroyed by the effect main consistency engine of "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]"the deck. ThenBesides searching for resources, use each one also has a second effect that provides ways for more Synchro Summons. The "Light and Darkness Dragon'sDragunity" other effect to Special Summon Tuners also emphasize the other use of "LeyvatenCards of Consonance" from your as an essential part of the deck, providing draw power while simultaneously setting up the Graveyardfor combo plays. Lastly, re-equip "[[Light and Darkness Tempest, Dragon]]Ruler of Storms" is highly recommended to be teched into the deck to it search a Dragon and repeatdump a WIND monster, preferably one of the deck's combo tuners. The only weakness in this loop is cards that can remove With the two monsters from playplentiful search and draw engines, or send them back to the hand or deck"Dragunity" archetype has a very reliable and stable game plan.

Note: Due to the wording on synergy with Dragon, Winged Beast, and WIND monsters in general, the Deck can also be combined with splashable cards like "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite"[[Light and , "Garuda the Wind Spirit", "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]"'s third effect, if a and "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" isn't in . They are also one of the graveyard when it goesfew archetypes that can benefit from "Windwitch" support, you can't Summon it back on as they are unaffected by the field because the field didnlatter't get cleared before you picked the s WIND monster to Summon backrestriction. (All "Dragunity" monsters are already WIND monsters). One way These series of cards are highly complementary to counter this is the deck as “Windwitch - Ice Bell” acts as essentially a one-card gateway to have "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon", a second Leyvaten in your Graveyard ready to take its placepowerful monster the "Dragunity" archetype already utilizes.

=The high-level "Dragunity" monsters function very differently from the other main deck monsters. "Dragunity Arma Mystletainn" is a combo extender, providing material that facilitates further Synchro Summons and even Xyz Summons, and with "Dragunity Knight - Luin", also unlocks the use of "Ultimaya Tzolkin". If "Romulus" or another Link monster is in the GY, "Mystletainn" can easily facilitate the summon and omni-negate effect of "Borreload Savage Dragon", by using itself with most likely "Phalanx". "Dragunity Arma Gram" is an extra weapon that is typically easy to summon after your initial combo plays, and can also aid link plays. Both Armas have synergy with "Dragunity Glow", (whose graveyard effect allows you to special summon a monster in the S/T zone equipped to a "Dragunity").===Recommended cards=========Monsters====={{Decklist|Dragunity

==Weakness=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]]", "[[D.D. Crow]]", as well as removal effects that trigger upon its Summon, such as cards like "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", can be effective ways to disrupt the strategy. The first weakness was addressed with the release of "Senatus" and "Divine Lance", that can equip "Dragunity" Tuners directly from the Deck.

Dragunity decks are aggresive and consistentAlso, but they are also the archetype considered by many of having numerous weaknesses. One, is their signature Field Spell "[[Dragon Ravine]]", which is the core of most Dragunity decks. "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" can be chained to "Dragon Ravine's" effect, which means nullifying their main search power and gave themselves as with any Graveyard-1 advantage due to the cost already paid. Tworeliant Deck, is their reliance on Normal Summoning "[[Dragunity Dux]]" for starting the offensive stance, which makes "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", "[[Torrential Tribute]]" and "[[Solemn Warning]]" troublesome for any Dragunity players (even worse when Effect Veiler strategy is Chained vulnerable to [[Hieratic Dragon King effects like that of Atum]]'s effect). However, "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]" can still mitigate Effect Veiler's threat. Three, is their reliance on the Graveyard for placing "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" necessary for their combo, which means "[[D.D. CrowDimension Shifter]]", "[[Crevice Into the Different DimensionGround]]" and or "[[Chain DisappearanceMacro Cosmos]]" , all of which can be reliable counters against Dragunity deckseasily paralyze the Deck.

Despite the numerous disadvantages they had, "Dragunity" Decks The sequence of Summons also have ways of dealing with these cards. "[[Debunk]]" (which is even a good Main Deck card in this current format due makes them vulnerable to the common use of "[[Maxx "C"]]Nibiru, "[[Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]]", and "[[Effect VeilerPrimal Being]]". However, especially since if the resurgence goal of [[Wind-Up]] decks) stops the aforementioned cards, while turn is to Summon "Areadbhair" starting with "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]Vajrayana/Barcha" completely annihilate any and all banishing attempts. , or "[[Malefic Stardust Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]]" (or even with the "[[Card Guard]]Windwitch") becomes more important in this Deckengine, due to its easy-to-Synchro Summon will be the fifth Summon nature, also adding a layer of defense on your "[[Dragon Ravine]]"the turn, which is makes it a good thing for your future playsway 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 "[[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).{{Archetype Archseries navbox}}{{Archseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{Duel Terminal}}[[Category:TCG and OCG archetypes]]
