Lists

"rocesslayer", known as Zanki (斬機ザンキ Zanki) in the OCG, is an archetype of Cyberse monsters introduced in Deck Build Pack: Mystic Fighters. It is comprised of primarily Level 4 monsters of various Attributes that focus on Synchro and Xyz Summoning.

Etymology

"rocesslayer" appears to be based on Mathematics and processors of various kinds. In Japanese, "Zanki" means "cutting machine", but also sounds like "Sanki", which means "calculator", a non-computer processor. The "rocesslayer" Synchro monsters, "Enzanki", can mean both "flame cutting machine" and "arithmetic unit". The single "rocesslayer" Xyz monster, "Kaizanki", means "mass cutting machine", and is a play on "Keisanki", likely meant to reference Batch Processing.

Playing style

The "rocesslayer" theme focuses on the use of Level 4 Cyberse monsters with a range of attributes (Fire, Earth, Light, and Dark) with the goal of swarming the field with materials in order to make Synchro Summons and Xyz Summons. The main play enablers are the duo of Level 4 Tuner monsters, the Light Attribute "Processlayer Sigma" and Dark Attribute "Processlayer Nabla", as well as the Fire Attribute "Processlayer Addion" and "Processlayer Subtra" as well as the Earth Attribute "Processlayer Multiplier" and "Processlayer Division". Every Processlayer Main Deck Monster includes an effect to Special Summon itself or other monsters, excluding Multiplier who instead can double the level of a Level 4 Cyberse monster to Level 8 for the turn. These effects can range from summoning from hand, Deck, and GY and even multiple locations, as seen with Division tributing a monster to Special Summon 2 Level 4 Cyberse Monsters, 1 from hand and 1 from GY.

The primary monsters to make with these summoned resources include the Level 8 Synchro Tuner, "Pyrocesslayer Magma", their ultimate boss monster "Pyrocesslayer Final Sigma", as well as the Rank 4 Xyz monster, "Batch Processlayer Laplacian". From there, the deck focuses on an OTK and beatdown strategy with added disruption abilities. Magma is a solid Level 8 through card destruction when it destroys a monster in battle and searching when destroyed itself as well as Laplacian giving the deck protection and disruption. Final Sigma, however, is the ultimate goal of this deck to summon it to your Extra Monster Zone as it gains various protection from card effects if in the EMZ as well as dealing Doubled Damage; combined with doubled ATK Stats through the effect of Multiplier and multiple attacking through Nabla.

In addition, the deck's Spells and Traps allow for revival with Processlayer Formula, gaining ATK and triggering effects of various Processlayer monsters with Processlayer Divider Nayuta, and finally quick Extra Deck Summoning through Processlayer Superfactorial
