==Playing style==
Their strategy relies on protecting Plant monsters from being [[destroyed by battle]] or against card [[card effect]]s.
* "Talaya" protects other Plants against card effects that would destroy them.
* "Chirubimé" protects all other Plant monsters from attacks and can replace itself with another Princess if it is sent to the Graveyard by your opponent.
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" cannot protect itself and is susceptible of being destroyed if there is only one copy of it on the field.
The variety of Attributes also makes them vulnerable to "[[Gozen Match]]".
==Trivia==
* The Japanese name of "Number 87: Queen of the Night", ''"Numbers 87: Beautiful Goddess of the Four Seasons - Queen of Nights"'' implies that, if it is included with the princesses, this family may be intended to symbolize the four seasons as follows.
** "Tytannial" represents Winter, as many Camellia species also bloom in mid to late winter, which is a season also known for strong winds.
** "Talaya" represents Spring, since it is WATER Attribute , and Spring is typically a rainy season. In addition, the flower it is based off, the Cherry Blossom, blooms in Spring– around April– when Cherry Blossom Festivals are typically held.** "Mariña" represents Summer, given that it is FIRE attribute, and Summer is universally the hottest season. In addition, Sunflowers are the only flower featured in the princesses' artwork that blooms in Summer.** "Chirubimé" represents Autumn, as its name explicitly calls it "Princess of Autumn Leaves." Furthermore, it is EARTH-Attribute, and Autumn is associated with the harvest season. In addition, the plant it is based upon is the [[wikipedia:Maple|Maple Tree]], whose leaves undergo a vivid spectrum of color changes in autumn.
* In addition, the order in which the "Plant Princesses" were released in the core [[Booster Pack]]s may be meant to parallel the cycle of seasons. ("Tytannial"/Winter in "[[Crossroads of Chaos]]", "Talaya"/Spring in "[[Judgment of the Light]]", "Mariña"/Summer in "[[Shadow Specters]]", and "Chirubimé"/Autumn in "[[Legacy of the Valiant]]")
