The main purpose of this series is to swarm the field using the effect of "[[King's Knight]]", which can only be activated if "[[Queen's Knight]]" is on the field, and is used to Special Summon "[[Jack's Knight]]". They are used as Tribute fodder, or are fused to Summon the ultimate monster, "[[Arcana Knight Joker]]". Since "King" and "Queen's Knight" are Level 4 monsters, they can easily be used as Xyz Materials for most Xyz Monsters. Given all the members are LIGHT, they can be supported by cards such as "[[Honest]]" and "[[Shining Angel]]".

The Three Musketeers of Face Cards (絵（え）札（ふだ）の三（さん）銃（じゅう）士（し） Efuda no Sanjūshi),[1][2] sometimes called The Three Royal Knights in official merchandise,[3] are a series of LIGHT Warrior monsters used by Yugi Muto and Roku in the anime and manga. While initially they had very few cards, they received further support in King's Court.

The three main members are "Queen's Knight", "King's Knight", and "Jack's Knight". There are two monsters that can be Summoned through a combination of the three: "Arcana Knight Joker" and "Royal Straight Slasher". Two additional combinations were released later that didn't appear in the manga or anime: "Arcana Extra Joker" and "Arcana Triumph Joker".

Evolutions

Each of the Three Musketeers has an evolved form. Each evolution involves using all the Three Musketeers as materials for different Summoning mechanics. These monsters share a similar naming pattern where their names start with "Arcana" (a reference to the card medium) and end with "Joker" (a reference to the Joker card).

"Royal Straight Slasher" is another combined form of the Three Musketeers, except it is not based on a specific Musketeer. Instead of the Joker, it is instead based on a royal straight flush, the best possible hand in ace-high games.

Monster Base Musketeer Card type Origin

Arcana Triumph Joker Queen's Knight Effect
Royal Straight Slasher - Special Summon Royal straight flush

Playing style

The main purpose of this series is to swarm the field using the effect of "King's Knight", which can only be activated if "Queen's Knight" is on the field, and is used to Special Summon "Jack's Knight". They can be used as Tribute fodder, or can be Fused, Tributed or used as Link Materials to Summon the ultimate monsters: "Arcana Knight Joker", "Arcana Triumph Joker" and "Arcana Extra Joker", respectively. Also, since "King" and "Queen's Knight" are Level 4 monsters, they can easily be used as Xyz Materials for most Xyz Monsters.
