The "Battlin' Boxer" archetype focuses on Battle Phase advantage. Most of their effects deal with preventing their destruction by battle which gives them a slight advantage when dealing with monsters that would easily destroy them upon attack. "[[Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw]]" can add another "Battlin' Boxer" from your Graveyard to your hand and "[[Battlin' Boxer Headgeared]]" can send other "Battlin' Boxers" to the Graveyard, making use of any other monster in this archetype for quick hand or Graveyard advantage.
+
The "Battlin' Boxer" archetype focuses on Battle Phase advantage and disrupting the opponent via the "[[Battlin' Boxing]]" counter trap card. The deck achieves this mainly by swarming the field as fast as possible to Xyz Summon their Extra Deck monsters.
Overall, the biggest weakness of this archetype is that the non-Xyz Monsters of this archetype pose little threat compared to the Xyz Monsters, so if it's not possible to [[Xyz Summon]] quickly then, this archetype will suffer rather severely. To counter this, the use of cards in the archetype such as "[[Battlin' Boxer Switchitter]]" (to bring back other "Battlin' Boxers" at the cost of only being able to only Summon "Battlin' Boxers" that turn) and "[[Battlin' Boxer Sparrer]]" (for even quicker Xyz Summons at the cost of the turn's Battle Phase). Beware over-relying on these monsters though, as the use of the effect of "Switchitter" and "Sparrer" slow down the Deck's offensive Xyz Monsters, creating gaps the opponent can take advantage of and regain field control. Cards outside this archetype to tech in include "[[Goblindbergh]]" for its effect and "[[Field-Commander Rahz]]" to set up for combos on later turns.
+
 
In general, this Deck has a good amount of strength and flexibility to allow it to counter most strategies. Keeping the Graveyard and hand full of "Battlin' Boxer" monsters gives advantage to Summon "[[Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke]]" which is itself a helpful shield and a great offense. "Star Cestus" and its chaos form, "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus]]" are both helpful for this Deck as "Star Cestus" provides a balance of offense and defense for the beginning of a game while "Comet Cestus" provides overwhelmingly aggressive offensive abilities which can damage your opponent greatly over a short period of time. "[[Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser]]" acts as a regular beater, gaining [[ATK]] for each of its [[Xyz Material]]s attached via its Summon or its effect, in addition to being able to bring back "Battlin' Boxer" monsters from the Graveyard (up to the number of Materials it had) when [[destroy]]ed by the opponent.
+
The 2 main consistency monsters of the deck are "[[Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter]]" and "[[Battlin' Boxer Promoter]]". Promoter can quickly swarm the field by tributing itself to summon 2 "Battlin' Boxer" and can banish itself to modulate their levels, while Uppercutter helps search "counter" trap cards when it's summoned or sent to the GY via your card effects.
As an alternative one can use copies of "[[Photon Thrasher]]" along "[[Masked Chameleon]]" which along with "Glassjaw" can give the Deck access to powerful Level 8 [[Synchro Monsters]] or another Xyz if needed. "Photon Thrasher" can be used as a powerful beater as well as an immediate Xyz if another monster is Summoned, furthermore since "Thrasher" is a Warrior, Xyz Monsters like "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" and "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]" can be Summoned without the normal restrictions the "Boxers" have.
+
 
 +
Some extenders of the deck that these monsters can bring out or search for are: "[[Battlin' Boxer Chief Second]]", "[[Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw]]", "[[Battlin' Boxer Shadow]]" and "[[Battlin' Boxer Sparrer]]", all which helps swarm the field or recover it.  
 +
 
 +
The deck also host 4 different hand traps in which 2 can be used in the GY via banishing which could be setup by "[[Battlin' Boxer Headgeared]]" with two of the most notable one being "[[Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch]]" and "[[Battlin' Boxer Chief Second]]".
 +
 
 +
The Extra deck has a variety of effects ranging from setting up disruptions with "[[Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey]]" and "[[Number C79: Battlin' Boxer General Kaiser]]" or dealing effect damage via battle with "[[Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus]]" and "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus]]". A good bridge between these two styles is "[[Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser]]" who can provide main deck Xyz Material for "[[Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus]]" and extra body for summoning "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus]]" and "[[Number C79: Battlin' Boxer General Kaiser]]" via level modulation from "[[Battlin' Boxer Promoter]]" or a rank-up magic card for the extra effect.
 +
 
 +
Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of the archetype is its ability to search out trap cards with "counter" in it's name by making the use of "[[Flamvell Counter]]". Other options include "[[Battlin' Boxing Cross Counter]]" and "[[Jolt Counter]]".

"Battlin' Boxer", known as "Burning Knuckler" (BKバーニングナックラー Bāningu Nakkurā) in Japan, is an archetype comprised of FIRE Warrior monsters used by Alito in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. Each monster is based on either boxing gear or a special boxing jargon. It is supported by the "Battlin' Boxing" and "Counter" archetypes.

Playing style[edit]

The "Battlin' Boxer" archetype focuses on Battle Phase advantage and disrupting the opponent via the "Battlin' Boxing" counter trap card. The deck achieves this mainly by swarming the field as fast as possible to Xyz Summon their Extra Deck monsters.

The 2 main consistency monsters of the deck are "Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter" and "Battlin' Boxer Promoter". Promoter can quickly swarm the field by tributing itself to summon 2 "Battlin' Boxer" and can banish itself to modulate their levels, while Uppercutter helps search "counter" trap cards when it's summoned or sent to the GY via your card effects.

Some extenders of the deck that these monsters can bring out or search for are: "Battlin' Boxer Chief Second", "Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw", "Battlin' Boxer Shadow" and "Battlin' Boxer Sparrer", all which helps swarm the field or recover it.

The deck also host 4 different hand traps in which 2 can be used in the GY via banishing which could be setup by "Battlin' Boxer Headgeared" with two of the most notable one being "Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch" and "Battlin' Boxer Chief Second".

The Extra deck has a variety of effects ranging from setting up disruptions with "Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey" and "Number C79: Battlin' Boxer General Kaiser" or dealing effect damage via battle with "Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus" and "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus". A good bridge between these two styles is "Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser" who can provide main deck Xyz Material for "Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus" and extra body for summoning "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus" and "Number C79: Battlin' Boxer General Kaiser" via level modulation from "Battlin' Boxer Promoter" or a rank-up magic card for the extra effect.

Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of the archetype is its ability to search out trap cards with "counter" in it's name by making the use of "Flamvell Counter". Other options include "Battlin' Boxing Cross Counter" and "Jolt Counter".
