"'''Genex'''" (ジェネクス ''Jenekusu'') is an [[archetype]] of mostly [[Machine]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] with various [[Attribute]]s (primarily [[DARK]]) introduced in ''[[Limited Edition 13]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'' and in ''[[Duel Terminal 1]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]''.
  
−
"'''Genex'''" (ジェネクス ''Jenekusu'') is an [[archetype]] of mostly [[Machine]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] that have an affiliation with various [[Attribute|Attributes]] that exist in the ''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''. Most of their [[Effect|effects]] involves adding [[Monster Card|monsters]] from the [[Deck]] to the [[hand]] and [[Special Summon]] them, as well as using "[[Genex Controller]]" with low-[[Level]] monsters of the four basic [[Attributes]] for [[Synchro Summon]]. The name of "Genex" [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro monsters]] takes after sources of energy such as [[Hydro Genex|hydroelectric]], [[Geo Genex|geothermal]], [[Genex Solar|solar]], etc.
+
Most of members' effects involves [[add]]ing monsters from the [[Deck]] to the [[hand]] and [[Special Summon]] them, as well as using "[[Genex Controller]]" with low-[[Level]] monsters of the four basic [[Attribute]]s for [[Synchro Summon]].
  
−
"Genex" monsters were introduced in "[[Duel Terminal - Invasion of Worms!!]]". Two more sub-archetypes were added in "[[Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!|Justice Strikes Back!!]]", "[[Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!|Champion of Chaos!!]]" and "[[Duel Terminal - Charge of the Genex!!|Charge of the Genex!!]]": "[[R-Genex]]" and "[[Genex Ally]]", respectively.
+
A sub-archetype, "[[R-Genex]]", was added in ''[[Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!|Justice Strikes Back!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!|Champion of Chaos!!]]'' and ''[[Duel Terminal - Charge of the Genex!!|Charge of the Genex!!]]''.
  
−
"Genex" monsters tend to be [[Level]] 3 and few have more than 1500 [[ATK]], but this allows them to be easily searched out from the Deck and Summoned to the field. There are also a couple of cards that can fill in for "[[Genex Controller]]" by having their name be changed to "Genex Controller" once per turn, increasing the flexibility of the archetype.
+
==Design==
 +
The name of "Genex" [[Synchro Monster]]s are based on sources of energy such as [[Hydro Genex|hydroelectric]], [[Geo Genex|geothermal]], [[Genex Solar|solar]], etc.
  
−
The "Genex" [[Synchro Monsters]] have a variety of different effects, making them one of the more flexible Synchro-based Archetypes.  The four primary Genex Synchro Monsters do not name a specific Material monster, but each is intended to be Summoned by tuning "Genex Controller" with a specific Genex monster; "[[Genex Furnace]]" for "[[Thermal Genex]]", "[[Genex Undine]]" for "[[Hydro Genex]]", "[[Genex Gaia]]" for "[[Geo Genex]]" and "[[Genex Blastfan]]" for "[[Windmill Genex]]". In each of these cases, the Synchro monster appears to be a more advanced version of its associated material monster. There is currently a Synchro "Genex" for every [[Attribute]], except [[LIGHT]] and [[DIVINE]].
+
==Playing style==
 +
The classic playstyle of the "Genex" archetype uses "[[Genex Controller]]" to achieve various effects and perform Synchro Summons, "R-Genex" focuses on assisting the Special Summon of "Genex" and "R-Genex" monsters for swarming, and "Genex Ally" focuses on manipulating the six Attributes to achieve different effects.
  
−
"Genex" monsters are also supported by two sub-archetypes known as "[[R-Genex]]" and "[[Genex Ally]]". While "R-Genex" focus heavily upon swarming to better enable Synchro Summons, "Genex Ally" focus on [[Aggro Deck|aggressive]] tactics that depend upon manipulating various Attributes.
+
The modern playstyle is entirely dependent on the Link-1 [[Link Monster]] "[[Repaired Genex Controller]]". With "Repaired Genex Controller", the player can [[Normal Summon]] a "Genex" monster each time a "Genex" monster is added to their hand (whether from the Deck, field, or GY), with no [[once per turn]] limit attached. Thus, by repeatedly adding "Genex" monsters to the hand, "Genex" can swarm large amounts of monsters for [[Extra Deck]] Synchro boss monsters.
  
−
Most "Genex" monsters are related to another [[Master Guide 3 card storylines|Duel Terminal]] archetype, by Attribute, ATK/DEF, artwork and/or how its effect works.
+
In-archetype, "Genex" has multiple non-once-per-turn ways to add "Genex" monsters to hand and enable their swarming. The key enablers are "Genex" monsters who search "Genex" monsters when Normal Summoned:

==Strategy==
+
By searching "Genex" monsters that are themselves on-Summon searchers, "Repaired Genex Controller" can create "Summon chains" of Normal Summons, searches, and more Normal Summons. Importantly, as indicated by the underlined entries, "Turbo", "Power Planner", "Magma" and "Crusher" form a closed searching loop, providing (theoretically) infinite Normal Summons; "Power Planner", "Undine" and "Controller" also forms its own extended search chain.
−
Like the "[[Synchron]]s"," basic "Genex" monsters are short on [[ATK]] and are dependent on quick [[Synchro Summon]]s to generate field presence. "[[R-Genex Accelerator]]" allows you to Special Summon any "Genex" monster that you pull from the Deck, an effect that has synergy with "[[Genex Power Planner]]", "[[Genex Blastfan|Blastfan]]", "[[Genex Neutron|Neutron]]", and "[[Genex Undine|Undine]]", as well as various monsters from the "[[R-Genex]]" archetype. "[[Genex Neutron]]" adds a "Genex" [[Tuner Monsters|Tuner]] to your hand at the [[End Phase]] of the turn it was [[Normal Summon]]ed. "[[Genex Power Planner]]" can retrieve a "[[Genex Spare]]" from the Deck, which can then change its name to "Genex Controller."
 
  
−
All of the elemental "Genex" Synchros must be Synchro Summoned with non-Tuner monsters of their [[Attribute]] and "Genex Controller", a [[Level]] 3 monster.  This is most easily done with "Undine", "Blastfan", and "Furnace". Normal Summoning "Undine" allows you to add "[[Genex Controller]]" to your hand. Special Summoning "Blastfan" can do the same, or be used to retrieve "[[Genex Spare|Spare]]", "[[Genex Recycled|Recycled]]", or "[[Genex Doctor|Doctor]]", as well as "[[R-Genex Overseer]]" or "[[R-Genex Oracle]]". "[[Genex Furnace]]" cannot be searched by any standard "Genex" monster, and needs no [[Tribute]] if you [[control]] a "Genex Controller". "Genex Controller" can also be substituted with "[[Genex Spare]]" if you control a "Genex" other than itself, or with "[[Genex Recycled]]" effect targeting "[[Genex Controller]]" when it is in the grave. To get the "Genex Controller" onto the field, you can use the effect of "[[R-Genex Accelerator]]", or "[[Genex Searcher]]" can be destroyed by battle to Special Summon a "Genex" monster of 1500 or less ATK from the Deck. "[[Genex Worker]]" Tributes itself to Special Summon a "Genex" monster from your hand, which is useful with "Blastfan" and for getting around the ATK restriction of "Searcher".
+
The "startup" for the "Summon chain" is provided by "Repaired Genex Controller" itself, who adds a "Genex" monster from the GY to hand when Link Summoned.
  
−
"[[Genex Spare]]", being the same Level as "[[Genex Controller|G.C.]]", provides an alternate Tuning method if all your "Controllers" are inaccessible. "[[Genex Recycled]]", a [[Level 1]] Tuner, can also be used as a substitute for "Genex Controller" if one is in the [[Graveyard]]. However, since the two-Level gap can only be filled by monsters of a certain [[Attribute]], it's usually better to search for "G.C".
+
Because "Repaired Genex Controller" triggers its effect immediately after adding a monster, it is important to search and Summon a "Genex" Tuner before running out of Main Monster Zones. The player can then Synchro Summon to free up MMZ space for future Summons.
  
−
The "[[Genex Ally]]" Synchros are an alternative to the standard elementals. Their requirements are not so pigeonholed; two of them can be Tuned with monsters of any [[Attribute]]. In return, they do not gain their effects unless their Synchro Material is of an inconvenient Attribute (smaller "[[Genex Ally]]" monsters can assist in changing the Attributes of the materials). "[[Genex Ally Axel]]", however, is [[Level 8]], can use any "Genex" tuner, and has no type restriction, prime for Synchro Summon with "[[Genex Furnace|Furnace]]" and "[[Genex Recycled|G.R.]]". Furthermore, he can revive any non-Tribute Machine from the Graveyard at double ATK for a turn, streamlining further [[Synchro Summon]]s and spawning an endless offense.
+
Once a "Summon chain" ends, the player can "restart" the "Summon chain" by using other effects to add "Genex" monsters to hand. In-archetype, "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" and "[[R-Genex Undine]]" can both perform this task (from the hand and GY respectively), with both having the added bonus of being (or being able to become) Tuners. External "Genex" searching, such as "[[Small World]]" or "[[Bonfire]]", or methods to return cards from the field to the hand, such as "[[Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier]]" and "[[Merry Melffys]]", can also restart the "Summon chain".
  
−
In terms of control, "Genex" monsters have various options. "[[Genex Turbine]]" raises the ATK of all "Genex" monsters by 400, especially important for increasing the ATK of "[[R-Genex Accelerator|Accelerator]]". "[[Genex Army]]" destroys an opponent's card when Tribute Summoned with a "Genex" monster. "[[Genex Doctor]]" can sacrifice a "Controller" to do the same. "[[Genex Solar]]" can be Summoned with 1 "Genex" Tribute (though its ATK is unimpressive) and inflicts burn damage when any "Genex" monster goes from the field to the Graveyard.
+
Through the swarming enabled by "Repaired Genex Controller" and its "Summon chains", "Genex" can easily gather materials for Synchro boss monsters; "Genex" cannot leverage the swarming for non-Synchro Extra Deck monsters because "Repaired Genex Controller" locks the player into only Synchro Summons, and only with "Genex" Tuners. However, it doesn't [[xenolock]] the Synchro Monsters themselves, permitting a varierty of boss options like the in-archetype "[[Arms of Genex Return Zero]]" (which grants in-archetype resource recovery) or the generic "[[Baronne de Fleur]]".
  
−
The Synchros also have useful offensive abilities.  While there is another "Genex" monster on the field, "[[Geo Genex]]" can make its own ATK 2800"[[Thermal Genex]]" boosts its own ATK by 200 for each [[FIRE]] monster in your Graveyard and inflicts [[Burn]] damage when it destroys a monster. "[[Vindikite R-Genex]]" cannot be attacked and recruits a fellow "Genex" from the Deck when it destroys a monster. "[[Genex Ally Axel]]" provides a stream of pocket "[[Limiter Removal]]s" and makes Synchro Summoning laughably easy. "[[Locomotion R-Genex]]" permanently steals the opponent's highest-Level monster when Synchro Summoned (no small feat at [[Level 9]]), but has lower ATK than "Axel" and is less useful over the long term.
+
===Tips===
 +
* Since it is vital to resolve the effect of "[[Repaired Genex Controller]]", cards such as "[[Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended]]", "[[Link into the VRAINS!]]" and "[[Crossout Designator]]" are recommended in order to protect it.
 +
* "[[PSY-Framelord Omega]]" is a great choice to Synchro Summon, since it can banish itself and a card from the opponent's hand. Not only this reduces the opponent's resources, but it also opens more zones for the player to use.
 +
* Among the starters, "[[Genex Power Planner]]" is usually one of the best options to return from the field to the hand, since it can search both "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" and "[[Genex Undine]]", important pieces to finish the player's combos.
 +
* If the player controls a "Genex" monster and a Level 6-8 DARK non-Tuner monster, "[[R-Genex Turing]]" can Summon itself from the hand during the opponent's turn to Synchro Summon "[[Locomotion R-Genex]]" and take control of one of the opponent's monsters. The non-Tuner monster may be a Synchro Monster (e.g. "[[Draco Berserker of the Tenyi]]"), or a "[[Bystial]]" monster (such as "[[Bystial Druiswurm]]") for builds that use them.
 +
* "[[Genex Ally Axel]]", a Synchro Monster that also requires a "Genex" Tuner, can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Machine monster back from the GY, allowing for even more Synchro Summons.
  
−
Sometimes it's a good idea to combine a different [[Archetype]] with the genex monsters. [[Flamvell]] monster are a good choice. You can use the abilities of cards like [[Genex Ally Remote]] to temporarily change them into genex monsters. You can then use them to activate abilities that require fire attribute genex monsters, like [[Genex Ally Volcannon]] or [[Thermal Genex]] for example.

==Deck Type==
 
−
===Genex Valley===
 
−
The Key cards in this deck are "[[Genex Blastfan]]" and "[[Mist Valley Divine Wind]]". This deck can easily swarm once you have "[[Mist Valley Divine Wind]]" and a Wind monster on the field, as well as a way to return the wind monster to your hand, such as "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]", "[[Mist Valley Thunder Lord]]", "[[Mist Valley Falcon]]", and "[[Quill Pen of Gulldos]]". First summon a Wind monster, preferably a Wind monster that can gain an effect by being returned to the hand such as "[[Reborn Tengu]]" or "[[Mist Valley Thunderbird]]", and then activate "[[Mist Valley Divine Wind]]". Return the said Wind monster to your hand with a card effect and Special Summon "[[Genex Blastfan]]" which will then trigger Blastfan's effect. This will allow you to add a Genex Birdman to your hand for reuse of Divine wind next turn or a Easy Exceed or Synchro that turn. You can also use other cards like "[[Genex Worker]]" witch is slashable due to its effect to special summon a Genex monster which could allow for you to specal summon that otherwise unuseable Blastfan from the hand. "[[Genex Worker]]" can also be special summoned to the field by "[[Mist Valley Divine Wind]]" to special summon "[[Genex Blastfan]]" from your hand. You may also want to put in other Genex Dark monsters to the deck for "[[Genex Blastfan]]"'s Effect, because "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" is Banished when it is used. Because you'll have a good amounts of WIND and DARK monsters used for Synchro Summon, "[[Dark Simorgh]]" can be a powerful addition.
 
−
 
−
===Birdman OTK===
 
−
This OTK uses the effect of "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" and "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" to perform an infinite loop.
 
−
To do this you need a "Birdman" in your hand and one on the field. You also need an "Iron Wall" and a "[[Cyber Summon Blaster]]". When you have this activate the Birdman in your hands effect to return the other birdman to your hand and inflict 300 points of damage to your opponent. Because of "Iron Wall" you can return the "Birdman" on the field to your hand to summon the one in your hand and inflict 300 again. Repeat until you win
 
−
 
−
===Water Ally===

This Deck's focuses on field control and [[aggro]] tactics using "[[Genex Ally]]" monsters in combination with "[[DNA Transplant]]" to turn all monsters to [[WATER]] attribute, allowing the use of "[[Ice Barrier]]" Synchro monsters like "[[Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier]]" and "[[Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]". Since all monsters on the field are treated has the same attribute, cards like "[[Genex Ally Crusher]]" and "[[Genex Ally Duradark]]" can do severe damage, while "[[Black Salvo]]" can bring back "Crusher" or "Duradark" from the Graveyard and [[Synchro Summon]].

In draw terms, "[[Allure of Darkness]]" has several targets to [[banish]] while "[[Genex Ally Solid]]" in combination with "DNA Transplant" can send any "Genex" (even itself) to the Graveyard and draw 2 cards. Since most are [[Machine]]-[[Type]]  monsters "[[Oilman]]" is a nice addition for extra draw power and to protect your own monsters.

The "Genex" archetype can be controlled very easily and quickly in many ways.  First, as they are chiefly Machine-Type monsters, cards like "[[System Down]]", "[[Acid Rain]]", "[[Magnetic Mosquito]]", "[[Electric Virus]]", "[[Electromagnetic Bagworm]]" and "[[Umi]]" can make really short work of them whilst on the field. Your opponent can also summon "[[Cyber Dragon]]" and use it and all your Machine-Type monsters to Special Summon "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]" leaving you wide open for its attack.

Secondly, because the "Genexes" are comprised of monsters of every one of the six main Attributes, "[[Battle of the Elements]]" and "[[Gozen Match]]" (plus "[[Scroll of Bewitchment]]" to a lesser extent) can not only restrict "Genex" field-presence but also lock-down [[Synchro Summon]]s as every Genex [[Synchro Monster]] needs monsters of sundry Attributes to either be Summoned in the first place or to wrought maximum use of their abilities.  On that note of Synchro Summoning, the "Genex" monsters rely on doing so heavily; cards like "[[Tuner's Scheme]]", "[[Intercept Wave]]", "[[Discord]]", "[[Soundproofed]]", "[[Shiny Black "C"]]" and any anti-Special Summoning card effect can facilitate their Synchro use.

Thirdly, cards like "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", "[[Deck Lockdown]]" and "[[Drastic Drop Off]]" can shave off the [[Toolbox]] asset of "Genexes" as most of these monsters let the Duelist add "Genex" monsters from their [[Deck]] to their hand.

Fourthly, "[[Infinite Dismissal]]" and "[[Nanobreaker]]" can also do some significant smiting against the non-Synchro "Genex"es with most of the monsters of this archetype being [[Level]] 3.  In a similar sense, these monsters can be dealt with on the Field ''and'' in the Hand via "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" with most of them having 1500 or lesser ATK.

"Genex" (ジェネクス Jenekusu) is an archetype of mostly Machine monsters with various Attributes (primarily DARK) introduced in Limited Edition 13 in the OCG and in Duel Terminal 1 in the TCG.

Most of members' effects involves adding monsters from the Deck to the hand and Special Summon them, as well as using "Genex Controller" with low-Level monsters of the four basic Attributes for Synchro Summon.

A sub-archetype, "R-Genex", was added in Justice Strikes Back!!, Champion of Chaos!! and Charge of the Genex!!.

Design[edit]

The name of "Genex" Synchro Monsters are based on sources of energy such as hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, etc.

Playing style[edit]

The classic playstyle of the "Genex" archetype uses "Genex Controller" to achieve various effects and perform Synchro Summons, "R-Genex" focuses on assisting the Special Summon of "Genex" and "R-Genex" monsters for swarming, and "Genex Ally" focuses on manipulating the six Attributes to achieve different effects.

The modern playstyle is entirely dependent on the Link-1 Link Monster "Repaired Genex Controller". With "Repaired Genex Controller", the player can Normal Summon a "Genex" monster each time a "Genex" monster is added to their hand (whether from the Deck, field, or GY), with no once per turn limit attached. Thus, by repeatedly adding "Genex" monsters to the hand, "Genex" can swarm large amounts of monsters for Extra Deck Synchro boss monsters.

In-archetype, "Genex" has multiple non-once-per-turn ways to add "Genex" monsters to hand and enable their swarming. The key enablers are "Genex" monsters who search "Genex" monsters when Normal Summoned:

Genex NS Searcher Targets
Tuners NS Searchers Other "Adders"[a]
R-Genex Turbo Recycled
Oracle 		Power Planner
Genex Power Planner Birdman
Remote
Spare 		Undine
Magma 		Birdman
R-Genex Magma Overseer
Turing 		Crusher
R-Genex Crusher R-Undine[b] Turbo R-Undine
Genex Undine Controller
(R-Undine)[c] 		(R-Undine)[c]

By searching "Genex" monsters that are themselves on-Summon searchers, "Repaired Genex Controller" can create "Summon chains" of Normal Summons, searches, and more Normal Summons. Importantly, as indicated by the underlined entries, "Turbo", "Power Planner", "Magma" and "Crusher" form a closed searching loop, providing (theoretically) infinite Normal Summons; "Power Planner", "Undine" and "Controller" also forms its own extended search chain.

The "startup" for the "Summon chain" is provided by "Repaired Genex Controller" itself, who adds a "Genex" monster from the GY to hand when Link Summoned.

Because "Repaired Genex Controller" triggers its effect immediately after adding a monster, it is important to search and Summon a "Genex" Tuner before running out of Main Monster Zones. The player can then Synchro Summon to free up MMZ space for future Summons.

Once a "Summon chain" ends, the player can "restart" the "Summon chain" by using other effects to add "Genex" monsters to hand. In-archetype, "Genex Ally Birdman" and "R-Genex Undine" can both perform this task (from the hand and GY respectively), with both having the added bonus of being (or being able to become) Tuners. External "Genex" searching, such as "Small World" or "Bonfire", or methods to return cards from the field to the hand, such as "Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier" and "Merry Melffys", can also restart the "Summon chain".

Through the swarming enabled by "Repaired Genex Controller" and its "Summon chains", "Genex" can easily gather materials for Synchro boss monsters; "Genex" cannot leverage the swarming for non-Synchro Extra Deck monsters because "Repaired Genex Controller" locks the player into only Synchro Summons, and only with "Genex" Tuners. However, it doesn't xenolock the Synchro Monsters themselves, permitting a varierty of boss options like the in-archetype "Arms of Genex Return Zero" (which grants in-archetype resource recovery) or the generic "Baronne de Fleur".
