Verz is a Duel Terminal archetype of DARK-Attribute monsters which was introduced in Duel Terminal - Sacred Star Knights!!. Their most significant feature is that their ATK/DEF end with 50, and all known Verz, except "Verz Golem", are Level or Rank 4. Despite being released prior to this one, the "Steelswarm" archetype (which is known as "Inverz" in the OCG) is a sub-archetype of this one. Thus, all "Steelswarm" monsters are supported by "Verz" support cards.

Some of the monsters in this archetype are DARK counterparts of other Duel Terminal Edition monsters, apparently corrupted by the virus of the "Steelswarm", which was released from "Steelswarm Cell" as shown in the artwork of "Corrosive Contagion Infestation". A good example is the Xyz Monster "Verz Bahamut", which is the counterpart of "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier". Possibly, this plague also destroyed the Steelswarms themselves, as the only true "Steelswarm" to be released since has been "Steelswarm Roach" since cockroaches, its theme, are famous for being hard to kill and being able to survive nuclear radiation.

The strategy of the "Verz" seems to be similar to the "Steelswarm", taking field advantages with powerful beatsticks backed up by removal effects, as well as punishing your opponent for Special Summoning mid-to-high Level monsters as well as control your opponent, making this more an Anti-Meta deck.

A crisis has struck the Duel Terminal World. Life across the planet had their bodies warped and their minds slowly seized by desires to only destroy to the point it became impossible to even convey their intentions to others. The elders of the planet likened it to the Ancient Lore, and thus dubbed them the "Verz".

Relationship

This archetype share a close name with "Steelswarm" (Inverz, インヴェルズ), an archetype from the previous Duel Terminal story arc. They both consist of also DARK monsters. Furthermore, the "Inverz" could be seen as a shortened version of "Insect Verz" or "Insectoid Verz", meaning the "Verz" virus might have come long before the "Steelswarm" did, and the "Steelswarms" are a heavily-infected species of creature. Even the "Verz" symbol can be seen as an outline of "Steelswarm" symbol (best seen under the chest of "Verz Bahamut").

It is also possible that with the destruction of the "Steelswarm" at the hands of the "Vylon", the virus then could have corrupted or even copied the other Duel Terminal archetypes.

In addition, "Vers" in French means "Worm". This may signify that their role is similar to the Worms in the previous Duel Terminal story as the first, horror movie-like antagonist (Worms being aliens, Verz being the zombie virus), followed by a holy/unholy antagonist that at first appeared to be an ally (Fabled and Vylon)
