"Battleguard", known as "Barbarian" (バーバリアン Bābarian) in Japanese, is an archetype used by Joey Wheeler in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, as well as The Sledgehammer and Grizzlepike Jones in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. Originally, one of the "Battleguards" belonged to Tristan Taylor, but he gave it to Joey before his Duel with Rex Raptor and he used them to defeat Rex's "Serpent Night Dragon" but were then destroyed by "Red-Eyes B. Dragon".

Due to its Japanese name ("Barbarian"), the "Battleguard" archetype is a sub-archetype of "Barian".

All of their anime support that was released in the OCG/TCG was retooled to support Warrior-Type monsters, making "Battleguard" an anime-only archetype, until the release of the first OCG/TCG support card, "Battleguard Cadet", in Dimension Force.

Playing style[edit]

The most powerful "Battleguard" monsters are high-Level, and focus on beatdown strategies, while the lower Level ones and their support focus on making the Tribute Summon of the high-Level "Battleguard" monsters easier, by Special Summoning monsters, negating attacks or gaining control of the opponent's monsters.
