For [[Fusion Summon]]ing, they can compensate for the heavy costs required for Fusion Summoning from the [[hand]]/field, as these effects can be triggered when "Shaddoll" monsters are sent to the GY as [[Fusion Material]]s when resolving a Fusion Summoning effect. They can additionally compensate for discards in card effects who require a discard at resolution, such as "[[Paleozoic Dinomischus]]", "[[Shaddoll Beast]]", or "[[El Shaddoll Grysta]]" and "[[El Shaddoll Shekhinaga]]".Their true importance comes in the fact that they are also triggered if they're sent from the Deck to the GY, such as with the effect of the archetype's core Fusion Summon [[Spell]], "[[Shaddoll Fusion]]", which can use monsters in the Deck as Fusion Materials: sending "Shaddoll" monsters directly from the Deck to the GY provides consistent card searches, and sending multiple "Shaddoll" monsters with single cards outright generates advantage instead of merely offsetting costs.[[Mill]]ing "Shaddoll" monsters can be performed with a variety of in-archetype and external cards: the major in-theme cards that do so are the aformentioned "[[Shaddoll Fusion]]", "[[El Shaddoll Construct]]", and "[[Sinister Shadow Games]]". Externally, cards such as "[[Mathematician]]" or "[[That Grass Looks Greener]]" (in the ''[[OCG]]'') can also perform this task efficiently. The best targets to send generally are "[[Reeshaddoll Wendi|Wendi]]", "[[Shaddoll Beast|Beast]]", "[[Shaddoll Falco|Falco]]", "[[Shaddoll Squamata|Squamata]]", and "[[Shaddoll Hedgehog|Hedgehog]]", who have advantage-generating GY effects. "[[Naelshaddoll Ariel|Ariel]]", who has a GY disruption effect in the GY, can also be a situationally beneficial milling target.The archetype contains 7 "El Shaddoll" [[Fusion Monster]]s. The 6 original "El Shaddoll" monsters each have a different Attribute (and also a different Level), and each require 1 "Shaddoll" monster + 1 monster of their Attribute as Fusion Materials. The last "El Shaddoll" monster, "[[El Shaddoll Apkallone]]", requires 2 "Shaddoll" monsters with different Attributes as materials. Their on-field effects generally focus on punishing the opponent's Special Summons, and each of them also have a floating effect.{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible autocollapse" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none; text-align: center" |+ {{nowrap|Fusion "El Shaddoll" Effects}}!

Because of the importance of "Construct", "Shaddoll" Decks were historically ran with [[LIGHT]] monster engines, such as "[[Performage Trick Clown]]".To perform Fusion Summons of "El Shaddoll" monsters, the main Fusion Spell/Traps are "[[Shaddoll Fusion]]", who can use materials from the Deck to generate advantage, "[[El Shaddoll Fusion]]", who can Fusion Summon at [[Spell Speed 2]], and "[[Shaddoll Schism]]", a powerful Continuous Trap that can Fusion Summon every turn using "Shaddoll" monsters in the GY, continuously making "El Shaddoll" monsters and further extending the Deck's grind game.The "Shaddoll" [[Link Monster]], "[[Shaddoll Construct]]", is primarily intended to be Summoned to the [[Main Monster Zone]] via its revival effect. Its first effect can free up the [[Extra Monster Zone]] via using itself as [[Fusion Material]], while its revival effect can trigger the effects of other "Shaddoll" monsters (though its [[Link Summon]] will not), and frees up to three zones for Extra Deck Summons.===Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Recommended cards<!--This is not an exact Decklist.

Additionally, one can also use cards that [[banish]] or return the [[Fusion Monster]]s to the [[Extra Deck]] to avoid the retriever effect. Due to cards like "[[El Shaddoll Winda]]", cards that can do this without the need to [[Special Summon]], such as "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Phoenix Wing Wind Blast]]," and "[[Karma Cut]]," are recommended. The variety of [[Type]]s and [[Attribute]]s also makes the Fusion Monsters vulnerable to floodgate cards like "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" and "[[Gozen Match]]". "[[Skill Drain]]" is also a viable solution as it counters the anti-[[Special Summon]]ing effects of the "Shaddoll" Fusion Monsters. This makes certain Decks that can use "Skill Drain" able to effectively bypass the "Shaddoll" [[Deck]]'s threats. Examples of such Decks include "[[Qli]]", "[[Malefic]]", "[[Dark World]]", "[[Scrap]]", "[[Archfiend]]", "[[Yang Zing]]" and "[[Zombie]]". As the archetype is primarily comprised of [[DARK]]-[[Attribute]] monsters, "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]" and "[[Stellarknight Constellar Diamond]]" can stop them from [[activating]] their [[Flip]] and [[Graveyard]] [[effect]]s.==Notes=={{notelist}}==References==<references />{{Archseries navbox}}[[Number C104Category: Umbral Horror Masquerade|Umbral Masquerade]]", "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus|Comet Cestus]]", TCG and "[[Number C106: Giant Red Hand|Giant Red Hand]]" to Xyz Summon "[[CXyz Barian Hope]]". It is later Banished through the effect of "[[Reincarnation of the Seven Emperors]]". Later it is Re-Attached to "Barian Hope" through the effect of "[[Glory of the Seven EmperorsOCG archetypes]]". Considering Nash was defeated, this card was presumed Destroyed.
