! Battlin' Boxer
==Etymology==
+
! Origin
"Beetrooper" is a portmanteau of "beetle" and "trooper". In the OCG, "Beetrooper" is a forced reading, with the kanji "騎甲虫" essentially meaning "Beetle-Riding Knight".
 
==Design==
 
[[File:Beetrooper-ConceptArt.png|thumb|right|300px|Concept art.]]
 
The "Beetrooper" monsters are [[Insect]] monsters of various [[Attributes]] that resemble humanoid insects mounted on top of larger insects. Both riders and mounts are equipped with armor and weaponry reminiscent of medieval knights.
 
The mounts range from a variety of different species of insects, especially beetles. In contrast, the riders appear to be members of the same race, albeit themed after their respective mounts.

==Playing style==
+
 
"Beetrooper" is an archetype focused on [[swarm]]ing the board with various [[Insect]] monsters and building towards formidable boss monsters. Most "Beetrooper" monsters have effects focused on [[Special Summon]]ing themselves or other "Beetrooper" monsters. Examples of this include "[[Beetrooper Scout Buggy]]", which Summons another copy of itself when [[Normal Summon|Normal]] or Special Summoned, and "[[Beetrooper Sting Lancer]]", which can Special Summon itself during either [[Main Phase]] from the [[hand]] by returning a monster from both [[Graveyard]]s to the bottom of the [[Deck]] and [[add]]ing 1 "Beetrooper" [[Spell]]/[[Trap Card]] from the Deck to the hand if Special Summoned. This playstyle is also facilitated by a minor focus on Summoning [[Token Monster]]s through the effects of various Spells and Trap Cards both in and outside the archetype; such as "[[Beetrooper Descent]]", "[[Beetrooper Formation]]", and the Spell "[[Multiplication of Ants]]"
+
== Playing style ==
Their primary boss monster is the [[Link Rating|Link]]-4 [[Link Monster]], "[[Giant Beetrooper Invincible Atlas]]", which has protection from targeting and effect destruction while it has 3000 or less [[ATK]], and the effect to [[Tribute]] an Insect monster the player controls to either Special Summon another "Beetrooper" monster from the Deck or gain 2000 ATK, dropping its protections for the turn in favor of [[damage]]. Other boss monsters for the theme include the new [[Level]] 8 Main Deck monster, "[[Heavy Beetrooper Mighty Neptune]]", which Special Summons itself from hand by returning 3 banished Insect monsters to the Deck, returns to the field if [[destroy]]ed or [[banish]]ed by an opponent's card effect in the Main Phase, and grants a permanent 1000 ATK gains to an Insect monster during the [[End Phase]], as well as the Level 11 [[Fusion Monster]], "[[Ultra Beetrooper Absolute Hercules]]", which requires 4 Insect monsters as [[Fusion Material]]s, is [[unaffected]] by all other card effects until the end of the player's next turn, and Special Summons an Insect monster with 3000 or less ATK from the Graveyard at the end of the [[Battle Phase]].
+
The "Battlin' Boxer" archetype focuses on Battle Phase advantage. Most of their effects deal with preventing their destruction by battle which gives them a slight advantage when dealing with monsters that would easily destroy them upon attack. "[[Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw]]" can add another "Battlin' Boxer" from your Graveyard to your hand and "[[Battlin' Boxer Headgeared]]" can send other "Battlin' Boxers" to the Graveyard, making use of any other monster in this archetype for quick hand or Graveyard advantage.
===Recommended cards===
+
Overall, the biggest weakness of this archetype is that the non-Xyz Monsters of this archetype pose little threat compared to the Xyz Monsters, so if it's not possible to [[Xyz Summon]] quickly then, this archetype will suffer rather severely. To counter this, the use of cards in the archetype such as "[[Battlin' Boxer Switchitter]]" (to bring back other "Battlin' Boxers" at the cost of only being able to only Summon "Battlin' Boxers" that turn) and "[[Battlin' Boxer Sparrer]]" (for even quicker Xyz Summons at the cost of the turn's Battle Phase). Beware over-relying on these monsters though, as the use of the effect of "Switchitter" and "Sparrer" slow down the Deck's offensive Xyz Monsters, creating gaps the opponent can take advantage of and regain field control. Cards outside this archetype to tech in include "[[Goblindbergh]]" for its effect and "[[Field-Commander Rahz]]" to set up for combos on later turns.
{{Decklist|Recommended cards
+
In general, this Deck has a good amount of strength and flexibility to allow it to counter most strategies. Keeping the Graveyard and hand full of "Battlin' Boxer" monsters gives advantage to Summon "[[Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke]]" which is itself a helpful shield and a great offense. "Star Cestus" and its chaos form, "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus]]" are both helpful for this Deck as "Star Cestus" provides a balance of offense and defense for the beginning of a game while "Comet Cestus" provides overwhelmingly aggressive offensive abilities which can damage your opponent greatly over a short period of time. "[[Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser]]" acts as a regular beater, gaining [[ATK]] for each of its [[Xyz Material]]s attached via its Summon or its effect, in addition to being able to bring back "Battlin' Boxer" monsters from the Graveyard (up to the number of Materials it had) when [[destroy]]ed by the opponent.
<!--This is not an exact Decklist. Please do not add multiples or staples.-->
+
As an alternative one can use copies of "[[Photon Thrasher]]" along "[[Masked Chameleon]]" which along with "Glassjaw" can give the Deck access to powerful Level 8 [[Synchro Monsters]] or another Xyz if needed. "Photon Thrasher" can be used as a powerful beater as well as an immediate Xyz if another monster is Summoned, furthermore since "Thrasher" is a Warrior, Xyz Monsters like "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" and "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]" can be Summoned without the normal restrictions the "Boxers" have.
