The name of the archetype is noted on French and Portuguese cards respectively as "Roi(s) du Feu" and "Rei(s) de Fogo" to make sure that support cards work with ''all'' "Fire King" cards. In Italian, the word "re" can be a plural form on its own, so no problem would occur. On Spanish cards, the name is just noted as "Rey de Fuego", which could potentially exclude "[[Circle of the Fire Kings]]" and "[[Onslaught of the Fire Kings]]" from the archetype; however, this would not prompt any problem so far as support cards only support "Fire King" monsters.

The "Fire King" monsters benefit from being destroyed by card effects and some of them have effects that revolve around destroying one another. "[[Legendary Fire King Ponix]]" can Special Summon itself if a FIRE monster is destroyed and can search the Spell/Trap support upon being Summoned. Such trigger effect is also present in monsters like "[[Sacred Fire King Garunix|Sacred Garunix]]", "[[Fire King Avatar Hanuman|Hanuman]]", and "[[Fire King Avatar Barong|Barong]]". Other common feature is a delayed trigger effect the Graveyard during the Standby Phase, present in "Barong", "[[Fire King High Avatar Garunix]]", and "Ponix". The starting point of the strategy is most often "[[Fire King Island]]", that can search "Fire King" monsters while destroying another one in the process, potentially igniting a sequence of trigger effects that results in field presence and the access to monster and/or Spell/Trap negation with "Hanuman" and "[[Fire King Avatar Arvata|Arvata]]". Among other Spell/Trap support, "[[Circle of the Fire Kings]]" and "[[Fire King Sacred Immolation]]" standout, by providing either the Special Summon of monsters or the destruction of opponent's cards. Generic support cards that may help the Deck include "[[Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys]]", "[[Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos]]", "[[True King Agnimazud, the Vanisher]]", etc. Also, "[[Fire Formation - Tenki]]" can search the Level 4 "Fire King" monsters and "[[Rekindling]]" can revive many of them if needed.

Lists

"Fire King" (えんおう En'ō) is an archetype of FIRE Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast monsters that are mainly focused on self-destruction. They were first introduced in the OCG in Structure Deck: Onslaught of the Fire Kings and TCG in Onslaught of the Fire Kings Structure Deck.

Story

The "Fire Kings" live on "Fire King Island", a volcanic island lying in the southern seas. Using their powers over the fire, they can reincarnate, and grow using its powers again. When the "Fire Kings" saw their temple threatened by the "Atlantean" army, they fought back in equal strength, only enough to keep the invaders away from their island.

Design

The "Fire King" monsters are based on deities from different cultures, from Northern Europe to Indonesia, with most of its members being inspired in creatures from Hinduism. The archetype's general mechanic of destroying its own monsters and Special Summoning them upon each other's destruction also reference practices, beliefs and concepts that are typical to Hinduism and Buddhism, such as rebirth, and self-immolation.

Naming in the TCG

The name of the archetype is noted on French and Portuguese cards respectively as "Roi(s) du Feu" and "Rei(s) de Fogo" to make sure that support cards work with all "Fire King" cards. In Italian, the word "re" can be a plural form on its own, so no problem would occur. On Spanish cards, the name is just noted as "Rey de Fuego", which could potentially exclude "Circle of the Fire Kings" and "Onslaught of the Fire Kings" from the archetype; however, this would not prompt any problem so far as support cards only support "Fire King" monsters.

Playing style

The "Fire King" monsters benefit from being destroyed by card effects and some of them have effects that revolve around destroying one another. "Legendary Fire King Ponix" can Special Summon itself if a FIRE monster is destroyed and can search the Spell/Trap support upon being Summoned. Such trigger effect is also present in monsters like "Sacred Garunix", "Hanuman", and "Barong". Other common feature is a delayed trigger effect the Graveyard during the Standby Phase, present in "Barong", "Fire King High Avatar Garunix", and "Ponix". The starting point of the strategy is most often "Fire King Island", that can search "Fire King" monsters while destroying another one in the process, potentially igniting a sequence of trigger effects that results in field presence and the access to monster and/or Spell/Trap negation with "Hanuman" and "Arvata". Among other Spell/Trap support, "Circle of the Fire Kings" and "Fire King Sacred Immolation" standout, by providing either the Special Summon of monsters or the destruction of opponent's cards. Generic support cards that may help the Deck include "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys", "Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos", "True King Agnimazud, the Vanisher", etc. Also, "Fire Formation - Tenki" can search the Level 4 "Fire King" monsters and "Rekindling" can revive many of them if needed.
