Sets
Lists

The Plant Princesses[1] are a series of Level 8 Plant-Type monsters with different Attributes and 2800 ATK or DEF. 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.

Plant Princess Origin Attribute
Mariña, Princess of Sunflowers Sunflower FIRE
Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms Cherry blossom WATER
Tytannial, Princess of Camellias Camellia WIND
Chirubimé, Princess of Autumn Leaves Maple EARTH

Playing Style

Their strategy relies on protecting Plant-Type monsters from being destroyed by battle or against card effects.

  • "Talaya" protects other Plants against card effects that would destroy them.
  • "Chirubimé" protects all other Plant-Type monsters from attacks and can replace itself with another Princess if it is sent to the Graveyard by your opponent.
  • "Tytannial" negates any effect that targets your monsters, by the cost of a Tribute.
  • "Mariña" punishes your opponent for destroying one of your Plants.

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 Special Summon 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.

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.

Weakness

While the "Princesses" are fairly powerful, they also possess some weaknesses:

  • "Talaya" cannot protect itself and is susceptible of being destroyed if there is only one copy of it on the field.
  • "Chirubimé" is vulnerable to cards that can remove it from the field without sending it to the Graveyard, such as "Bottomless Trap Hole", "Virgil, Rockstar of the Burning Abyss", "Dark Core" etc
  • "Mariña" effect doesn't activate if multiple monsters are destroyed at once and requires itself to be on the field for the effect to resolve, which makes it vulnerable to "Book of Moon", "Compulsory Evacuation Device", etc, if those cards are chained to its effect activadion.
  • "Tytannial" requires Plant-Type monster to be used as Tribute in order to negate a targeting effect, which also makes its effect useless if it is the only monster under its owner's control.

All of them are Level 8 and unless "Lonefire Blossom", "Gigaplant" are used to Special Summon them or if they are not used as cost for "Trade-In" they could easily be dead draws.

The variety of Attributes also makes them vulnerable to "Gozen Match".
