The Plant Princesses[1] are a series of Level 8 Plant-Type monsters with different Attributes. Their artworks all feature them emerging from the middle of their respective flower. The first member of the series ("Tytannial, Princess of Camellias") was released in Crossroads of Chaos, then more members came in the Judgment of the Light, Shadow Specters and Legacy of the Valiant sets.
Contents
Playing Style
Their playstyle revolves around protecting (Plant-Type) monsters from being destroyed by battle or by card effects.
"Talaya" and "Chirubimé" can protect all other Plant-Type monsters from attacks and card effects while "Tytannial" can negate the effects that don't destroy monsters eg."send to Graveyard". "Mariña" can create field advantage with cards like "Fragrance Storm" to destroy your opponent's cards as well.
As usual, "Lonefire Blossom" is the quickest way to bring the "Princesses" to the field. "Cherry Inmato" and "Rose Witch" can also be used as the required tributes for Tribute Summon while cards like "Lord Poison" and "Blue Rose Dragon" can Special Summon them from Graveyard. During your turn, "Miracle Fertilizer" can also revives them from the Graveyard as well.
If the player wishes to Summon "Number 87: Queen of the Night", three princesses are required. One can also use the effect "Xyz Dimension Splash" to quickly Special Summon 2 "Talaya", Summon "Copy Plant" and use its effect to easily Xyz Summon this card.
Weakness
While the "Princesses" are fairly powerful, they also possess some weaknesses: "Talaya" and "Chirubimé's" effect cannot protect themselves and are susceptible of being destroyed/removed from the field if only one copy of them existed, "Mariña" effect doesn't activate if multiple monsters are destroyed at once and requires herself to be on the field for the effect to resolve, and "Tytannial" requires Plant-Type monster to be used as Tribute. All of them are Level 8 monster and unless "Lonefire Blossom" or "Trade-In" is drawn on the first turn, they could easily be dead draws.
Recommended cards
Lightsworn Plant Princess
The Lightsworn Plant Princess is made by using the effect of "Lightsworn" monsters to mill the princesses from the Deck, then Special Summon them from the Graveyard.
