'''"Amazoness"''' (アマゾネス ''Amazonesu'') is an [[archetype]] of [[Female Card List|female]] [[EARTH]]-[[Attribute]] [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] (with the exception of "[[Amazoness Tiger]]", who is a [[Beast]]-[[Type]] monster) that were introduced in [[Labyrinth of Nightmare]], with further support in [[Magician's Force]] and [[Duelist Revolution]]. Their names include "Amazoness", with the exception of "[[Amazon Archer]]", which in [[Gold Series 3]] was changed to "[[Amazoness Archer]]". Although "[[The Unfriendly Amazon]]" is similar in name, it is not considered an "Amazoness".  [[Mai Valentine]] and [[Tania]] have both used "Amazoness" cards in the anime. The monsters are based on the [[wikipedia:Amazons|Amazons]] from Greek mythology. ==Play StylePlaying style==The "Amazoness" monsters have average [[ATK]] and effects, and are designed either to weaken the opponent's monsters or strengthen themselves, with newer members being able to [[Special Summon]] themselves. Key cards include "[[Amazoness Village]]", "[[Amazoness Paladin]]", "[[Amazoness Tiger]]", and "[[Amazoness QueenPrincess]]".  With the additions to the "Amazoness" archetype in ''[[Duelist Revolution]]'', they have more support for field-flooding and field control. Using "Amazoness Village", [[Amazoness Willpower]], and "[[Queen's Pawn]]" allows them to swarm the field much faster and more easily. "Amazoness Queen", "[[Amazoness Heirloom]]", and "[[Amazoness Scouts]]" can help keep your "Amazoness" on the field while you increase their [[ATK]] with "Amazoness Village" and "[[Amazoness Fighting Spirit]]". While their ATK is often weak for their Level, cards such as "[[Amazoness Tiger]]" and "[[Amazoness Paladin]]" increase in strength relative to the number of other "Amazoness" Monsters on the field. "[[Amazoness Trainee]]" increases in strength for every monster she destroys. "Amazoness Queen" protects all "Amazoness" monsters from [[destroyed by battle|destruction in battle]], while "[[Amazoness Sage]]" can destroy one [[Spell Card|Spell]] or [[Trap Card]] at the end of each attack; with these two cards alone, a player can defend his or her monsters, while slowly dismantling an opponent's back row. ==Strengths==Common build strategies for this archetype include: * Solidarity Build: Run multiple copies of "[[SolidarityAmazoness Fighting Spirit]] to give each of your " Boosts "Amazoness an 800 ATK " monsters attacks when they attack stronger Monsters and "Village" grants a slight power boost. This build requires eliminating all non-Warrior cards but also Summons from your deck, including when "Amazoness" Monsters are destroyed."[[Amazoness TigerEmpress]].* Burden Build: Use " and "[[Burden of the MightyAmazoness Pet Liger|Pet Liger]] to weaken an opponent's " act as the boss monstersof the archetype, making them more susceptible to attacks with "Empress" preventing destruction by your medium-strength battle or card effect and giving "Amazoness " monsters. However, this strategy is somewhat obsolete due piercing damage while "Pet Liger" grants ATK reduction abilities to the current dominance of Xyz Monsters"Amazoness" monsters.* Synchro Build: Warrior synchros such as "[[Sword MasterAmazoness Princess]]" acts as a searcher for the archetype, [[T.G. Striker]], [[Comrade Swordsman of Landstar]] allowing quick access to the archetypes Spells and [[X-Saber Pashuul]] can be employed to Traps upon its summon Synchro Warriors such as [[Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth]] and allows for the X-Saber synchros. [[Rose, Warrior summon of Revenge]], a 4-star Tuner, can be used in conjunction with most four-star "Amazoness (that is, every Amazoness except " monsters upon attacking. "[[Amazoness QueenBaby Tiger]]" allows for easy swarming, [[Amazoness Blowpiper]] and [[Amazoness Scouts]]) allowing it to Synchro Summon [[Colossal Fighter]], which gains an additional 100 ATK for every Warrior-type be summoned from the hand or graveyard upon the summon of another "Amazoness in the Graveyard" monster. With a Synchro build, Amazoness players must use their best judgment in using their Amazoness Both "Princess" and "Baby Tiger" also count as Synchro Material, versus relying on them for a "flood the fieldQueen" strategy. They can also be used for Synchro Summoning most [[Naturia]] Synchro Monsters: [[Naturia Beast]], [[Naturia Barkion]] and [[Naturia Landoise]] for negating opposing Spells"Tiger", Trapsrespectively, and Effect Monsterswhilst on the field or graveyard, respectivelyallowing the Fusion monsters to be summoned easier. However, using "[[SolidarityAmazoness Call]]" is NOT recommended in this type acts as the deck's main searcher, allowing for the searching of build as it can easily rendered useless if any of non-Warrior type Synchro Monsters is start hitting "Amazoness" card in the Graveyarddeck.* Xyz Build: Most It also allows one "Amazoness " monster to attack every opposing monsters are Level 4, and if it is perfect for setting up Xyz Summonsbanished from the graveyard. Using "[[Goblindbergh]]", "[[Photon ThrasherAmazoness Onslaught]]"allows for the removal of opponents monsters via banishing, as well as swarming via a special summon once per Battle Phase and "another upon its destruction.Within [[Heroic Challenger Yu-Gi- Double LanceOh! Duel Links]]" can speeding up , Amazoness has typically appeared as a control deck focusing around the process effects of Xyz Summoning Rank 4 monsters. Notable choices are "[[Number 39: Utopia]]Princess", "Onslaught" and "Baby Tiger" with "Queen" only being available in the game through levelling [[Heroic Champion - ExcaliburMai Valentine (Duel Links)]]"to her maximum level. ===Weaknesses===Massive field control comes at a cost. As [[EARTH]] monsters, "Amazoness" have trouble when fighting Decks with a strong focus of Spell and Trap Cards. "Amazoness" Decks cannot break through Spells and Traps that can stop their attacks, like struggles against backrow removal such as "[[Messenger of PeaceCosmic Cyclone]]", and "[[Level Limit - Area BHarpie's Feather Duster]]", and "[[Gravity Bind]]". Cards such as "[[Dust Tornado]]Onslaught", "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Seven Tools is their main form of the Bandit]]", and [[Xyz Monster]]s can counter such playsremoval. "Amazoness" Decks may struggle against Decks designed to counter an opponent's Spells and TrapsDepending on how the deck is built, as most "Amazoness" builds rely on cards such as "[[SolidarityThere Can Be Only One]]" and "[[Amazoness VillageRivalry of Warlords]]" to flood can have different effectiveness as the field and boost their monster's archetype balances [[ATKWarrior]]. Cards such as "and [[Dark BribeBeast]]"Monsters, leaning more to one depending on builds."[[Judgment of Anubis]]", "[[Solemn WarningSkill Drain]]" and "[[Solemn Judgment]]" prove useful against such Decks. "[[Skill DrainEffect Veiler]]" can be problematic to any "Amazoness " decks, due to most of their monsters are either have having Continuous Effects or effects that can only be useful while battling. Over-reliance towards "[[Amazoness Village]]" makes this deck somehow harder to struggle. Without it, this deck usually suffer for not having enough resources to maintain field presence, which Amazoness Village can provide. To remedy this problem, a player can either adding more external support such as "[[Marauding Captain]]" and "[[Warrior Lady of the Wasteland]]", adding more draw power via "[[Pot of Duality]]", "[[Reckless Greed]]", and/or "[[Shard of Greed]]", or adding protection via "[[Safe Zone]]", "[[Forbidden Lance]]", and/or "[[Fiendish Chain]]". ===Recommended cards======Monsters==={{Decklist
