Fairy monsters have a wide array of design, but are most often represented by beings such as angels (e.g. "[[Honest]]" and "[[Victorica, Angel of Bravery]]"), faeries and sprites (e.g. "[[Vernusylph of the Flourishing Hills]]" and "[[Spirit of the Fall Wind]]"), or popularly-benevolent heavenly/celestial deities (e.g. "[[Amaterasu]]" and "[[Odin, Father of the Aesir]]"). In some cases, they appear as advanced organic and/or mechanical beings of supernatural and/or extraterrestrial origin, such as "[[Majestic Mech - Goryu]]" and "[[Vylon Stella]]". They're predominantly [[LIGHT]] or [[DARK]], although there are Fairies for all six main [[Attribute]]s in the game.

Due to having a huge concentration of varied archetypes and series, there is no general play style for Fairies as a whole. However, a particular focus early in the game's lifespan includes many interactions with [[Counter Trap Card]]s (primarily through the [[Counter Fairy]] series), a design choice that is still carried over or encouraged in certain themes of the Type, such as "[[The Agent]]" and "[[Parshath]]", as well as some semi-generic support cards. Many of the Fairy archtypes, such as "[[Darklord]]" and "[[Herald]]" also features various disruption effects and an emphasis on reviving other Fairy monsters from the [[Graveyard]] and protecting them from opponent's interruption or removal effects.

'''Fairy''' monsters often represent beings of [[LIGHT]] such as sprites or angels, although there are fairies of all 6 attributes. Many times, the [[Card Effect]]s of Fairy monsters involve some restoration and protection of the player's [[Life Points]].

They lose ATK and DEF when "[[Yami]]" is on the field, though Yami is now outdated and fairies do have their own [[Field Spell Cards|Field Spell Card]], "[[The Sanctuary in the Sky]]". Plus many can gain a 500 [[ATK]] boost from cards such as "[[Luminous Spark]]", "[[Rising Air Current]]" or "[[Gaia Power]]", because most Fairy monsters are either [[LIGHT]], [[WIND]], or [[EARTH]] Attribute (and in a few cases, [[DARK]] and [[WATER]] Attributes too.)

The [[Archlords|Agent and Archlord]] cards of the [[Ancient Sanctuary]] Set are perhaps some of the best-known Fairies and some possess good effects with the [[Majestic Mechs]] as the second best known. [[Union Monsters|Union monsters]] "[[Aitsu]]" and "[[Koitsu]]" work very well together as a low-level union with a high [[ATK]], as do "[[Soitsu]]" and "[[Doitsu]]". "[[Cloudians]]" are [[WATER]] but share the Fairy Type, so can also use "[[The Sanctuary in the Sky]]" as one of their main gameplay elements. Other high [[ATK]] fairies include [[Wingweaver]] and [[Majestic Mech - Goryu]]. Another powerful, but risky, archetype are the [[Arcana Force]], noted for gaining effects depending on coin tosses yet features two of the strongest Fairy-[[Type]] monsters in the game; "[[Arcana Force Ex - the Light Ruler]] and "[[Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler]]".  [[Guardian Angel Joan]] is a well known Fairy-Type monster, both for having a very effective Life Points gain effect and for having Very High stats for a Level 7 monster.  Another well known archetype are the "Parshaths", composed of [[Airknight Parshath]], his DARK counterpart [[Darknight Parshath]], the [[Synchro Monster]] version [[Avenging Knight Parshath]], and Airknights upgraded version [[Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin]], who can easily get his [[ATK]] as well as a players [[Life Points]] in the tens of thousands. An upcmong archetype called the "[[Vairon]]" will be released in the [[Duel Terminal]] series, focussing upon gaining effects while equipped [[Equip Spell Cards]].

One of the best-known Fairy [[Archetype]]s are the "[[Synthetic Angels]]" and "[[Counter Fairies]]", who have effects revolving around the use of [[Counter Trap Cards]].

"Archlord Kristya", a Fairy monster.

Fairy (天（てん）使（し） Tenshi, "Angel") is a Type of Monster Card. It debuted in Vol.1 in the OCG, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in the TCG, and Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

Overview[edit]

Fairy monsters have a wide array of design, but are most often represented by beings such as angels (e.g. "Honest" and "Victorica, Angel of Bravery"), faeries and sprites (e.g. "Vernusylph of the Flourishing Hills" and "Spirit of the Fall Wind"), or popularly-benevolent heavenly/celestial deities (e.g. "Amaterasu" and "Odin, Father of the Aesir"). In some cases, they appear as advanced organic and/or mechanical beings of supernatural and/or extraterrestrial origin, such as "Majestic Mech - Goryu" and "Vylon Stella". They're predominantly LIGHT or DARK, although there are Fairies for all six main Attributes in the game.

Due to having a huge concentration of varied archetypes and series, there is no general play style for Fairies as a whole. However, a particular focus early in the game's lifespan includes many interactions with Counter Trap Cards (primarily through the Counter Fairy series), a design choice that is still carried over or encouraged in certain themes of the Type, such as "The Agent" and "Parshath", as well as some semi-generic support cards. Many of the Fairy archtypes, such as "Darklord" and "Herald" also features various disruption effects and an emphasis on reviving other Fairy monsters from the Graveyard and protecting them from opponent's interruption or removal effects.
