This In the manga, "Masked HERO" is an independent archetype favors a fairly straightfeaturing its own Main Deck monsters. In the ''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]'' however, they do not have any Main Deck monsters, and the "Change" Quick-forward Play Spells, which only worked on "Masked HERO" Main Deck monsters in the manga, were revamped to generally support "[[beatdownHERO]] strategy" monsters. Their All "transformingMasked HERO" cards being Fusion Monsters [[Quick-Play Spell CardNo Fusion Materials|do not list]] any [[Fusion Material]]s allows them and share the condition that they must be Special Summoned by "Mask Change" (though "Mask Change II" and "Form Change" treats their effect's Special Summon as it were done with "Mask Change"). Due to be transformed at any timethe lack of Main Deck monsters, including during the archetype has no de-facto "playing style", and instead primarily served as boss monsters for other "HERO" decks, such as "[[Battle PhaseElemental HERO]], for multiple " or "[[attackDestiny HERO]]s" decks, or in response to an opponenteven a cross-archetypal "HERO" archetypal deck. The most important support for the archetype's monsters is "[[Card effect|effectElemental HERO Shadow Mist]] or attack", who can search out "Change" Spells when Special Summoned.
While The "Masked HERO" is an independent archetype in the mangaFusion Monsters all have a variety of battle-related, in the ''protective and/or disruptive effects. "[[Masked HERO Acid]]" and "[[TCGMasked HERO Blast]]''" can answer against Spell/''[[OCGTrap Card|Trap]]'' they were revamped to be a general heavy boards. "[[Masked HEROKoga]]" support, making them and "[[splashableMasked HERO Goka]] options for any "serve as attacking beatsticks, "[[Masked HERODivine Wind]]" Deck (though they essentially work well only with and "Elemental [[Masked HEROVapor]]" monstershave protection to prevent themselves from being destroyed, due to their varied while "[[AttributeMasked HERO Anki]]s). " and "[[Mask Change IIMasked HERO Dian]]" takes this even further (and "Divine Wind") can net card advantage for the user if they destroy a monster by allowing battle. However, the most prominent member of the archetype is "[[Masked HERODark Law]]" monsters to be splashable in any Deck, as long as having an oppressive one-sided "[[Macro Cosmos]]"-like effect while also punishing the opponent's searches by randomly banishing one can handle card from their hand if they do so. Its [[DARK]]-Attribute makes it widely compatible with the increased entire DARK "HERO" arsennal including all "Destiny HEROs", all "[[costVision HERO]] s" and Extra Deck real estate"Shadow Mist" (whom searches a "Change" card upon its Special Summon and can also be used as the target of the said card to Summon "Dark Law", netting additional advantage if done during the subsequent turn).
An efficient build can consist "[[Mask Change II]]" takes the splashability of running a few "Elemental Masked HERO" monsters that help you conduct Fusion Summons (Like "one step further, by allowing any monster with a [[Elemental HERO BlazemanLevel]]to " and transform" into a "Masked HERO" monster. Netherless, some "Masked HERO" monsters still depend on "[[Elemental Hero Woodsman]]HERO") monsters to Fusion Summon make use of their effects. Besides "Shadow Mist", "[[Elemental Masked HERO Absolute Zero]]" (also benefits from the following "Change" support cards: "[[King of the SwampMask Charge]]" help this even further) , which has 2 advantages: it can be Fusion Summoned using even recur a "Masked HeroHERO" monsters, monster and when combined with a "Mask Change" or Quick-Play Spell from the GY, and "Form Change", lets you get a WATER or high [[LevelXtra HERO Wonder Driver]]ed "Masked , which Sets a "Change" Quick-Play Spells from the GY whenever a "HERO" while destroying your opponents' monstersmonster is Normal or Special Summoned to a zone it points to, which combos very well with "Form Change".

"'''Masked HERO'''" ({{Ruby|Ｍ・ＨＥＲＯ|マスクドヒーロー}} ''Masukudo Hīrō'' in Japan, written as {{Ruby|Ｍ|マスクド}}・{{Ruby|ＨＥＲＯ|ヒーロー}} or {{Ruby|Ｍ|マスクド}}・{{Ruby|Ｈ|ヒーロー}} in the Japanese manga) is a "[[HERO]]" sub-[[archetype]] used by [[Jaden Yuki (manga)|Jaden Yuki]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]]. Jaden started using this archetype after the tournament to [[Duel]] the [[Zane Truesdale (manga)|Kaiser]], when he decided to build an "all-his Deck", which would eventually grow into his ultimate Deck (since the "[[Elemental HERO]]" monsters he used previously were from [[Koyo Hibiki]]'s Deck).
==Design==
While the "[[Elemental HERO]]" archetype is said to be based off of American superheroes, it can also be assumed that the "Masked HERO" archetype is a salute to Japanese ''[[w:c:kamenriderwikipedia:Kamen Rider Series|''Kamen Rider]]'']] heroes. In addition to "Kamen" meaning "Masked", there are several similarities between the two, such the recurring "form changing" and transformations of Kamen Riders. The Double Attacks are also similar to the original Kamen Riders' (1 and 2) "Rider Double" techniques.{| class="wikitable sortable"! Attribute! Main Deck Monster! Level 6 Fusion Monster!

==Playing Stylestyle==Rather than The "Masked HERO" archetype centers on the "[[Fusion SummonChange]]ing like most " archetype of [[Fusion MonsterQuick-Play Spell Card|Quick-Play Spells]]s do, mainly "Masked HERO[[Mask Change]]" monsters use cards like , "[[Mask Change II]]" and "[[Form Change]]" , which can "transform" a monster into a "Masked HERO" Fusion Monster, sending the monster on the field to be the Graveyard (or returning it to the Extra Deck in the case of "Form Change") and [[Special Summon]]ed ing the "Masked HERO" from the [[Extra Deck]]. In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|manga]], rather than [[Chazz Princeton (manga)|Chazz PrincetonFusion Summon]] was amazed seeing how "Masked HERO" monsters could use the same effect of "Fusion" using one single ing like most [[Fusion Material|materialMonster]] rather than 2 or mores do).
