"Photon" (フォトン Foton) is an archetype of LIGHT-Attribute cards used by Kite Tenjo, Dextra and Nistro in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. This archetype was first released in Photon Shockwave. Most of the monsters in this archetype have armored or scaly bodies that emit blue light. The "Photon" archetype is intimately related to the "Galaxy" archetype and distantly somewhat related to the Sparrow Family, Bounzer and Cyber Dragon series.
The goal of a "Photon" Deck is to take control of the field. "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" is a good example: its self-banishing Quick Effect allows it to evade Traps like "Dimensional Prison" and bypass other card effects. Another example is "Photon Leo," which can shuffle cards in your opponent's hand back into the Deck. This can be a very disruptive effect in numerous situations. Lower-level Photon monsters have more strategic uses, such as adding different Photon Monster Cards to your hand or even multiplying themselves.
All "Photon" monsters are LIGHT and as such receive benefits from LIGHT support cards.
Because several low-level Photons have incongruously high attack power, they often come equipped with some balancing restriction. For example the effect of "Photon Crusher" is similar to early beatdown favorite "Goblin Attack Force" and "Photon Sabre Tiger" loses 800 attack if it's the only "Tiger" on your side of the field.
Recommended cards
Weakness
- Though Photon and Galaxy monsters are powerful their are several ways to shut them down. Like several swarming archetypes Photon's can be easily shut down by cards that sweep the field of monsters such as Torrential Tribute, Dark Hole, Gilford the Lightning and several others. Also cards that negate special abilities such as Skill Drain, Black Ray Lancer and especially Number 69: God Medallion Coat of Arms can render Photon monsters next to useless once on the field. Another option is too slow down their summoning by using cards such as Summon Limit. Archlord Kristya can majorly shut down Photon's on early in a duel as most of them require special summoning to work to their fullest abilities.
Trivia
- In physics, a photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
