 ==PlaystylePlaying style==All The "Crusadia" archetype is a [[Link Summon]]ing focused archetype. As a pure archetype, its members focus on performing [[OTK]]s through "[[Crusadia Equimax]]". If hybridized with external cards and archetypes, the archetype can use its Link abilities to perform board setup combos.The archetype's Main Deck members consists of 5 archetypal members, and one related "[[World Legacy]]" monster with an effect that supports the archetype can be , "[[World Legacy - "World Crown"]]". Each of the 6 monsters all share a [[Special Summon]]ed ing effect that lets them ([[Only once per turn|hard once per turn]]) Special Summon themselves to a zone that a [[Link Monster]] points to, in [[Defense Position]].

Save for "[[Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax]]", the other 4 "Crusadia" Link Monsters all share 2 [[Continuous Effect]]s that lets them gain [[ATK]] equal to the [[original ATK]] of all monsters they point to, but prevent and prevents those monsters from attacking. They each also have individual effects.{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center" |-! Crusadia !! [[Link Arrow]]s !! Type !! ATK !!

The archetype's Special Summoning abilities allows an easy Link climb into "Regulex" and "Equimax", and "Draco" and "Magius" can assist in gathering "Leonis" and "Maximus" by recovering them and searching them. Additionally, "Regulex" can search the archetype's Field Spell, "[[Crusadia Revival]]", to give "Equimax" more stat boosts for more OTK consistency.The "[[Kaiju]]" archetype synergizes excellently with "Equimax" and the OTK strategy; they can tribute away disruptive enemy monsters, and can be summoned to the zones adjacent to the Extra Monster Zones so that "Equimax" points to them when it is summoned, giving it even more ATK for more OTK consistency.
