The Vylon, sometimes romanized as Vairon are an Archetype debuted in Duel Terminal - Vylon Descends!!. All known Vylons are LIGHT-Attribute. Their team symbol is a golden orange orb, often with gold metal trim. Most of the Tuner Monsters of this group are shaped and named after three-dimensional geometric figures ("Prism", "Cube", "Sphere", "Tetra[hedron]", "Stella [Octangula]". The Synchro Monsters in this group are named with the phonetic pronunciation of a Greek letter and have bodies resembling that letter ("Vylon Epsilon", "Vylon Sigma", "Vylon Omega"), or something in their bodies that resembles that letter ("Vylon Alpha" and "Vylon Delta"). The Xyz Monsters of this group are named after archaic Greek letters (although it may change because there's just only one which has been released so far). The majority of Synchro and Xyz Monsters are Fairy-Type, while Tuners are mostly Machine-Type, except "Vylon Prism" and "Vylon Stella". All known Tuners, except "Vylon Stella", have ATK equal to their DEF like the original Ancient Gears.

All Vylon Equip Spell Cards have this secondary effect where it allows the player to search for other Vylon Spell Card when it's sent from field to Graveyard. Also, they are specifically only to be equipped by a Vylon Monster.

In Duel Terminal - Judgment of Omega!!, 4 new Vylon Tuner Monsters, Levels 1 to 4, have the ability to be Treated as Equip Cards by paying 500 Life Points when sent from Monster Card Zone to the Graveyard. They also each provide different effects when they are equipped. In a story from this Duel Terminal pack, they have all been used to combine their powers with 4 other Duel Terminal Archetypes (Gusto, Gishki, Laval, Gem-Knight) to fight against the Steelswarm.

In Duel Terminal - Xyz Startup, one of the 1st Duel Terminal-exclusive Xyz Monster, "Vylon Disigma", has been revealed. 2 new Union Monsters have been revealed as well. Also, so far all new Vylon monsters in Xyz Startup lack the team symbol.

Play style

The Vylon strategy revolves around the use of Equip Cards, either by searching for them from the Deck or using effects that revolve around having them equipped. Due to some of their effects requiring multiple Equip Cards, a large problem with this Archetype could manifest in Spell and Trap Card Zone plug-up. Try to keep at least 1 Spell or Trap Card Zone open for cards like "Vylon Matter", which will allow you to recycle 3 Equip Spell Cards from your Graveyard and then either destroy 1 card on your opponent's side of the field or draw 1 card when the effect has resolved.

It's possible to combine this archetype with a bit of Dragunity since many monsters revolve around treating other monsters as Equip Cards. You can use "Dragon Mastery" to equip your Vylons. Be very careful with this, however, as very few of the support cards overlap, and Dragunity Monsters are WIND, which conflicts with the requirements of LIGHT monsters for the Vylon Synchro Monsters.

With the new Vylon Union Monsters, you can use Roll Out! or other supportive cards to add into your Deck.
