Lists

"F.A.", short for "Formula Athletes" (F.A.フォーミュラアスリート Fōmyura Asurīto) is an archetype of WIND Machine monsters. It is one of two formerly TCG-exclusive archetypes that debuted in Code of the Duelist[1][2], the other being "Vendread".

Design

The archetype is based on a futuristic motor racing theme, with some elements referencing the motorsports events such as Formula One or Grand Prix Motorcycle racing. So far, all monsters of this archetype have original 0 ATK.

F.A. Level-based effect

Playing style

Similar to the "Fortune Lady" archetype, the "F.A" monsters get stronger the higher their Levels. All non-Tuner monsters revealed thus far gain 300 ATK x their own Level and have effects and support cards that increase their Levels further. The Main Deck non-Tuner monsters also gain a new effect when at Level 7 or higher.
