"Performapal", known as "Entermate" (
Design
Appearance
The archetype is primarily designed around circus animals, donning apparel such as top hats and polka dot bow ties. Yuya uses the archetype's diversity in appearance to traverse around the Duel Fields, using "Whip Snake" to scale high buildings and "Skeeter Skimmer" to travel across water. Many of the members of this archetype have a colored star on their bodies.
Etymology
Both the English and Japanese names are simple portmanteaus: "Performapal" is a portmanteau of "performance" and "pal", while "Entermate" is a portmanteau of "entertainment" and "mate".
Playing style
"Performapal" monsters possess varied effects giving the archetype a lot of versatility. Many of the weaker monsters possess strong effects that work well when used together. Monsters like "Cheermole" and "Sword Fish" can manipulate ATK and DEF permanently in large increments and continue to do so if they can remain on the field while others like Fire Mufflerlion and Spikeagle grant bonuses for attacking by providing a 2nd attack for one of your monsters and Piercing Damage respectively.
The archetype is also highly capable at searching and drawing its members out of the deck through multiple cards. Of these, Pendulum Wizard is the most potent as it can search for 2 "Performapal" monsters every turn, due to its ability to target itself with its destruction effect, sending it to the extra zone for future pendulum summons. Combining it with effects like Supply Squad and Lizardraw allow you to gain card advantage quickly, and using Friendonkey is an easy way to get special summon it the first time before it goes into the extra deck.
On its own, the archetype is capable of quickly swarming the field and gain large attack boosts through their pendulum monsters' effects. Performapal Pendulum Wizard and Partnaga can greatly boost the attack of one or all of your monsters until the end of the turn. As such, it's relatively easy to always come into the battle phase with at least 1 monster with over 2500 ATK.
