"Duston" (ダストン Dasuton) is an archetype of Level 1 Fiend-Type monsters with 0 ATK and 1000 DEF (except "Starduston", which has ? ATK and DEF) that was first introduced in Abyss Rising with the appearance of dust particles. Their play style revolves around using "House Duston" to Special Summon members of the archetype to either side of the field, ideally Special Summoning ones with negative effects to your opponent's side of the field and ones with positive and/or no effects to your side of the field. This reflects how dust can spread in real life.

4 of the 5 colored "Dustons" (Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue) share almost all of their effects with each other. Except for the one that activates when they are destroyed, the shared effects are:

• Cannot be used as a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Material for a Summon.
• While this card is face-up on the field, it cannot be Tributed.
• You can only control 1 face-up "[corresponding "Duston]". (A player can only control one of each colored "Duston".)

With the release of "Starduston", the Dustons utilize their swarming to set up a powerful monster while avoiding any negative effects, as "Starduston" does not destroy or Tribute monsters when it is Summoned.

The Attributes of "Dustons" are diverse, therefore "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan" can be used to gain easy advantage, after swarming the field with "House Duston". "DNA Checkup" is also a valid option, if played at the right time.

Trivia

• This archetype has a lot in common with the "Ojama" archetype.
  • All of the monsters have 0 ATK and 1000 DEF except "Starduston".
  • Both share similar art styles and designs (mono-chromatic, cartoonish, etc).
  • Both their play styles revolve around attempting to clog up the opponent's side of the field or rendering their Monster Zones unusable.
