'''Contrary to their current state, the deck historically had a lack of boss monsters, relying on generic options like "Stardust Dragon"Dragunity, "''' (ドラグニティ－ ''Doragunitï'') is an [[archetype]] released in the [[Duel Terminal]]. The term Red Dragon Archfiend"Dragunityor " is a portmanteau of the words ''Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon'' and ''Unity''" to grant field presence. Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any [[Level]] 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters in your [[Graveyard]] A classic way to your [[Winged Beast]]-Type monsters in play (in the sense of the Dragon-Types transforming into weapons, or the Winged-Beast combine "Dragunity" monsters "uniting" with their Dragon some generic options is to Synchro Summon "steedsDragunity Knight - Gae Dearg" as , to use its effect to search and then discard "Dragunity KnightsMist Valley Baby Roc"). Because , which special summon itself directly after being discarded, enabling the Synchro Summon of their heavy focus on sending monsters to a relatively generic level 8 monster like the Spell & Trap Card Zonesaforementioned ones. However, with the release of "DragunityKnight - Ascalon" archetype is often compared to the and "[[Crystal Beast]]Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair" , the deck gained their own boss cards with abilities that banish opponents' monsters, effective monster negation, and "[[Cyberdark]]" archetypes. They also utilize powerful Dragon-Type [[Synchro Monster]]s, although residual effects when they require Dragon-Type [[Tuner monster]]s as well as Winged Beast-Type non-Tuners're destroyed.

All of the "Dragunity" monsters that have been released so far are [[WIND]] monsters, so "[[Flying Kamakiri 1]]Knight - Romulus" and "[[Gozen Match]]Dragunity Remus" can be useful along with some other WIND support cards; act as the searchers for the archetype's spell and because many of them are Winged Beast-Type monsterstraps, the Deck can run most importantly "[[Icarus Attack]]". The Dragon-Type monsters in this archetype so far all have armor which either covers most of their body (Ravine"[[Dragunity Phalanx]]"), or they have a piece the main consistency engine of armor that resembles, and is named afterthe deck. Besides searching for resources, each one also has a weapon (i.esecond effect that provides ways for more Synchro Summons. The "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]"). By contrastTuners also emphasize the use of "Cards of Consonance" as an essential part of the deck, providing draw power while simultaneously setting up the Winged Beast-Type monsters seem to be named after historical warriors (ExGraveyard for combo plays. - Lastly, "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" is named after highly recommended to be teched into the common solider in deck to search a Dragon and dump a WIND monster, preferably one of the Roman army)deck's combo tuners. Their archetype symbol is With the green emerald for the Dragon-Type monstersplentiful search and draw engines, and for the [[Winged Beast]]-Type monsters is the green emerald surrounded by "Dragunity" archetype has a gold outline of wingsvery reliable and stable game plan.

As Due to the synergy with Dragon, Winged Beast, and WIND monsters in general, the Deck can also be combined with splashable cards like "[[Blackwing]]- Zephyros the Elite" archetype, there is a heavy distinction between "Garuda the Tuner monsters Wind Spirit", "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" and "Hieratic Seal of the non-Tuner monsters in terms Heavenly Spheres". They are also one of appearance. Similar to the few archetypes that can benefit from "BlackwingsWindwitch"support, as they are unaffected by the non-Tuner latter's WIND monster restriction. (All "Dragunity" monsters are all humanoids in bird costumes while the Tuner already WIND monsters ). These series of cards are all small armored dragons <!highly complementary to the deck as “Windwitch -Ice Bell” acts as essentially a one- Note: this isn't card gateway to "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon-Type monsters since it's just saying that they are dragons -->(whereas ", a powerful monster the "BlackwingDragunity" Tuner monsters are all small birds)archetype already utilizes.

==Playing style==The main purpose of high-level "Dragunity" decks is to have versatile and easy [[Synchro Summon]]smonsters function very differently from the other main deck monsters. "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]Arma Mystletainn" is the key card here - it's a level 2 Tuner monster combo extender, providing material that Special facilitates further Synchro Summons when it is equipped to a monster. Thanks to the effects of "[[Dragunity Dux]]" and "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]"even Xyz Summons, you can easily summon Level 5 or 6 Synchro Monsters - however, if you decide to Synchro Summon and with "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]" with "Dux" and "PhalanxLuin", you can also unlocks the use one of the deck's most powerful combos"Ultimaya Tzolkin". If "VajrayanaRomulus" is a Level 6 monster that can also equip a Level 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] "Dragunity" another Link monster from the Graveyard. Because the "Once per turn" effect of "Phalanx" resets when it is sent to in the GraveyardGY, if you equip "PhalanxMystletainn" it can Special Summon itself again easily facilitate the summon and you can [[Synchro Summon]] a Level 8 [[Synchro Monster]] omni- effectively turning one card in your hand into a Level 8 monster from your [[Extra Deck]] (typically negate effect of "Stardust Borreload Savage Dragon"). You can also equip , by using itself with most likely "AklysPhalanx" 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]]Gram". Its effect lets you Special Summon it by Tributing a Dragunity Monster, and then it equips a Dragon-Type "Dragunity" monster from the Graveyard. Equipping "Phalanx" and then Special Summoning will allow you is an extra weapon that is typically easy to Synchro Summon a Level 8 Synchro Monster.  This summon after your initial combo only requires "Dux" in your hand and "Phalanx" in your Graveyardplays, 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 the Army]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]", which makes combos easyalso aid link plays. Another move is to play "Pilum", which Summons a "Dragunity" Winged Beast. By Summoning "Militum" Both Armas have synergy with this effect, "Militum" can Summon back "Pilum" and Synchro for "Trident" or another Level 7 Synchro Monster. However, the "DragunityGlow" 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 (whose graveyard effect - allows you can send an equipped Dragon-Type monster to the graveyard to destroy one of your opponent's face-up monsters. This is especially useful with "[[Dragunity Aklys]]", as when it is equipped and sent to the Graveyard, one card on the field is destroyed. This effect is not applied when the equipped card is sent to graveyard while the special summon a monster this card was equipped is also sent to the graveyard, because in order to activate the effect of "[[Dragunity Aklys]]", this card has to be sent to the graveyard while the monster this card is equipped to is still on the field. 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 hisS/her cards, in a devastating one-two punch that costs you nothing. This also works with the second effect of "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]", which can send a card T zone equipped to itself to the Graveyard to double its own ATK until the end of the turn. 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. With the release of "[[Hieratic Dragon King of Atum]]" in ''[[Galactic Overlord]]'', this deck'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= Recommended cards ===This build focusing on the classic Dux-Phalanx-Vajrayana combo for swarming the Field with Level 6 or 8 Synchro Monsters. {{Decklist|Recommended cards|color=|color2=|monsters =* [[Dragunity Phalanx]]* [[Dragunity Aklys]]* [[Dragunity Legionnaire]]* [[Dragunity Dux]]* [[Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite]]* [[Dragunity Corsesca]]* [[Dragunity Brandistock]]Extra Deck* [[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]* [[Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg]]* [[Stardust Dragon]]* [[Thought Ruler Archfiend]]* [[Red Dragon Archfiend]]* [[Scrap Dragon]]* [[Ally of Justice Catastor]]* [[Daigusto Phoenix]]* [[Black-Winged Dragon]]|spells =

When you Summon a "[[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 the other "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. {{Decklist|Recommended cards|color=|color2=|monsters =<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

==Support Cards= Weaknesses === * "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]" : Another Level 8 monster for Synchro Summoning "[[Trident Dragion]]". It can also protect your "[[Dragon Ravine]]" from any destruction effects. * "[[Cards of Consonance]]": This card can be very good in a "Dragunity" deck. It's a 2 for that sets up your combos. However, Due to the strongest reliance on "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. * Dux"[[Icarus Attack]]": While potentially useful, "Icarus AttackSenatus" is usually less than effective since in most cases you will be Synchro Summoning, not destroying cards with "Legionnaire". * "[[Pot of Avarice]]": This deck sends and the Tuner monsters to be in 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". * hand traps like "[[TerraformingEffect Veiler]]": This card is the easiest way to search out , "[[Dragon RavineGhost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]", so running two or three is recommended. This card can also serves as discard fodder for "[[Dragon RavineCalled by the Grave]]"'s effect, so it will never be dead draw. * "[[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]]". Afterwards, you can do the standard double Synchro Summon with "Dux" and "Vajrayana", and you will draw two cards. * "[[Photon Strike Bounzer]]: Due be effective ways to disrupt the frequent level 6 Synchro Summoning, Dragunity players can Xyz Summon this card by overlaying "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]", "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]" or "[[Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg]]"strategy. * "[[Blackwing - Zephyros The first weakness was addressed with the Elite]]": 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 release of "Zephyros" or return a "Dux" to your hand after Special Summoning "PhalanxSenatus" and still get to Synchro Summon "Vajrayana" since "Zephyros" is a Winged Beast-Type monster. * "[[Foolish Burial]]": Sending "ZephyrosDivine Lance", "Aklys", and "Phalanx" to your Graveyard to set up combos. * "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]": Help return a used up "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" or a "[[Dragunity Dux]]" that has its effect negated by "[[Effect Veiler]]can equip " also leads to level 7 synchros with "[[Dragunity Dux]] " and level 6 synchros with "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]". * "[[Royal Decree]]": Protects Dragunity monsters Tuners directly from Trapsthe Deck. ==Weaknesses==

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 PhalanxDimension Shifter]]" necessary for their combo, which means "[[D.D. Crow]]", "[[Crevice Into the Different DimensionGround]]" and or "[[Chain DisappearanceMacro Cosmos]]" can be reliable counters against Dragunity decks. Four, is their additional reliance on "Dragunity" card effects involving using other "Dragunities" as Equip Spells, made possible to be interdicted by cards such as "[[Dark Highlander]]", "[[Eternal Rest]]", "[[Really Eternal Rest]]", "[[Disarmament]]" and "[[Armor Break]]". "Dark Highlander" is in fact ''the'' perfect mis-match against "Dragunities" because it all of which can ''both'' reprove Equip Spell use and veto Synchro Summoning, easily paralyze the two biggest strategies of most "Dragunity" DecksDeck.

Despite the numerous disadvantages "Dragunity" users face, "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 plays. The End of Anubis prevents any dragunity from equipping themselves with way to protect the other dragunities in graveDeck 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]]
