Heart (ハート Hāto) is a series of Level 4 Warrior monsters with 1500 ATK and 2100 DEF. It is heavily related to "Visas Starfrost" and the "Scareclaw", "Tearlaments", "Kashtira", and "Manadome" archetypes.

Design

The base Heart monsters are Level 4 Warrior monsters with 1500 ATK and 2100 DEF. Each one also possesses a different Attribute, based on the theme of the correspoding World Destruction Field Spell.

The upgraded Heart monsters are different types of Extra Deck monsters with 3000 ATK (and 3000 DEF for non-Link Monsters). Notably, they also have a different Type from their base forms and (except for "Manadome Prime-Heart") the other monsters in their respective archetype.

Etymology

The names of the Heart monsters feature the word for "realm" in different European languages, which is also included in their corresponding World Destruction's name.

In the TCG, the names of all non-base Heart monsters are written with a hyphen separating "Heart" from the other word.

Original

Each of the Heart monsters is based on an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu (which is itself represented by "Visas Starfrost"). Vishnu's avatara are often numbered from 1 to 10: this is reflected in the Japanese name of each Heart monster's "World Destruction" Field Spell. The original Heart monsters are also based on the six basic emotions, an inspiration that is reflected in the color of their Attribute and the names of their archetypes.

Variations

The upgraded forms of the Heart monsters all have 3000 ATK and 3000 DEF, and different Extra Deck card types.

"Scareclaw Light-Heart" is another Link form of "Scareclaw Reichheart" and follows a similar naming scheme, but it possesses 500 ATK instead of 3000 ATK. "Scareclaw Kashtira" is also similar to the bestial half of "Scareclaw Tri-Heart", but it is currently unknown whether it is a form of "Reichheart" or not.
