GX|R''===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GXR]]^{<small>'', these cards are revealed to have been designed by [[WAKE UP YOUR HEARTMaximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|EDMaximillion J. Pegasus]]</small>}in secret some time after creating the [[Egyptian God|God cards]]. He made the rudimentary designs for the three cards in an attempt to keep the Egyptian Gods in check, but feared their immense power, and never completed their production. Like their Egyptian God counterparts, the cards were never released to the public.  | manga = [[Yu-Gi-Oh! RYako Tenma]] later completed the cards based on what Pegasus left behind, and named them the "Wicked Gods", and used them to enact revenge on [[Yugi Mutou (manga)| list = List Yugi Mutou]] for the death of Pegasus. Once he touched "[[The Wicked GodAvatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]", the card possessed him, damaging his mind and feeding that desire for revenge to the exclusion of all else; in addition to "Avatar" monsters | support list = | anti-support list = }}{{Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/End}}possessing Yako, it allowed Yako to possess others, such as his brother, Gekko.

The '''Wicked Gods'Yako spent some time 'testing' were originally featured in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' mangacards, including his first Duel against Yugi; these cards formed the evil counterparts of the he also possessed his brother, [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God CardsGekko Tenma]]. They share the Hierarchy System with their , to test "[[Counterparts]] The Wicked Dreadroot (e.g., among the [[Egyptian Godsmanga)|Egyptian God CardsThe Wicked Dreadroot]] ". Yako also revived [[Obelisk the Tormentor Keith Howard (originalmanga)|Obelisk the TormentorKeith Howard]]" and "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" were Hierarchy 1, while presented him with "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra Wicked Eraser (originalmanga)|The Winged Dragon of RaWicked Eraser]]" was Hierarchy 2), with [[to use in his Deck; Yako himself also used both "The Wicked Avatar]] higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the "[[Divine]]and "The Wicked Dreadroot" traits with at the same time against [[Egyptian GodsSeto Kaiba (manga)|Egyptian God CardsSeto Kaiba]]. Like the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, the and during his final battle against Yugi, Yako used both "The Wicked Eraser" and "The Wicked Avatar (who is at the top) cannot be destroyed by the other two gods, as well as being invincible against Obelisk the Tormentor and Slifer the Sky Dragon" in quick succession.

* [[The Wicked Dreadroot]] - A counterpart God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, and are stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cards in line; the Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able to revive Keith Howard using the cards, and they were a major component of Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus by linking [[Obelisk the Tormentor Anzu Mazaki (originalmanga)|Obelisk the TormentorAnzu Mazaki]]. He looks human shaped with wings like Obelisk and to the same [[ATK]] Gods and [[DEF]] as Obelisk too.* [[using "The Wicked Eraser]] - A counterpart of [[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]. He looks like Avatar" as a dragon, just like Slifermedium. He also shares a similar ATK-gaining effect.* [[The Wicked This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the "Avatar]] - A counterpart of " using an enhanced "[[Obelisk The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of RaProgenitor]]. He looks like Ra's sealed orb form".

One key difference that must be notedUnlike the Egyptian God cards, howeverthe Wicked Gods were at least produced in duplicates, is that these are intended as the '''opposites''' both Gekko and Yako possessed one copy of the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]]. Hence"The Wicked Dreadroot" each, while Keith and Yako both are possessed one copy of "[[Divine]]The Wicked Eraser" each; this makes "The Wicked Avatar"the only Wicked God to be unique, the kanji specifically to Yako. Both Yako and Gekko tore up their copies after their final defeats; Keith is placed against the [[LIGHT]]-[[attribute]] symbol for the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]]not seen destroying his copy of "The Wicked Eraser", but during his duel against the [[DARK]]-[[attribute]] coloration for the Wicked God Cards. In order to avoid a repetition of the unplayability issue which surrounds the [[DIVINE]]/[[Divine-Beast]]-[[Type]] [[Egyptian GodsKatsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Egyptian God CardsKatsuya Jonouchi]], however, Konami has made the he would constantly complain that "real worldEraser" cards [[DARK]]/[[Fiend]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monsters]].In the manga, [[The Wicked Avatar]]doesn's form changes into a dark version of whatever monster's stats t fit with his Machine deck and heavily implies that he only uses it's copying plus 1 [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] pointbecause Yako has forced him to.

==Play Style==Comparison to the Egyptian Gods===Strategy===The Wicked Gods themselves possess high-unstoppable effects that can easily turn In the game in your favourmanga, but they are considerably harder to get out than their these cards were [[Sacred BeastsDivine-Beast|Sacred BeastGod]]-[[Type]] Counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, ; they are not special summons. They also require 3 tributes each and cannot be used with were released as [[DARK]] [[Mausoleum of the EmperorFiend]]. Thus, -Type monsters who survive battles, ones with high def, or those who you can special summonin the ''TCG''/summon multiple copies of in a single turn should be used, or monsters that can not be destroyed by battle''OCG''. "Their manga versions share the [[Double CostonHierarchy]]"System with their counterparts (e.g., while being neither of these, counts as two tributes, which is excellent as it reduces among the Egyptian Gods back down to two tributers. Ideally you should use it when you can summon more than once in a single turn, such as with "[[Double SummonObelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]] or " and "[[Ultimate OfferingSlifer the Sky Dragon (original)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" were Hierarchy 1, and have at least one other monster to tribute. Monsters that summon multiple copies of themselves, such as while "[[Nimble Momonga]] and [[HyenaThe Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" was Hierarchy 2), are with "The Wicked Avatar" higher than the other two. It is also goodknown that they share the remainder of the Divine traits with the Egyptian Gods. Cards that summon tributable tokens and Trap monsters are especially usefulLike the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, as the former can rapidly generate tribute fodder while Wicked Avatar (who is at the latter can top) cannot be used destroyed by the other two gods, as both a surprise defense and well as readily accessible tribute fodder (this is even more useful if you have Double Coston being invincible against "Obelisk" and Double Summon"Slifer". Unlike the "Egyptian Gods" or "[[Sacred Beast]]s", as the two cards can be used in conjunction with an already-set trap monster to instantly bring out there is no combined form of the "Wicked God)Gods".

* "[[The Wicked Gods themselves lack spell Dreadroot]]": It is a winged humanoid giant akin to "Obelisk the Tormentor" and trap protectionthey share the same [[ATK]] and [[DEF]]. Its effects are also the reverse of that of "Obelisk". The effect of "Obelisk" that Tributes the controller's own monsters to destroy the opponent's, thus while the effect of "Dreadroot" affects all other monsters and instead lowers their ATK.* "[[The Wicked Eraser]]": It is a twin-mouthed dragon, just like "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (in the manga, both appear to have no hind limbs). It also has effects that are quite the reverse of that of "Slifer", while "Slifer" gains points for every card in its controller's hand, "Eraser," gains points for every card on the opponent's field (a bit more vulnerable trait which leads Seto Kaiba to insult it in the manga). In addition, the destruction effect of "Slifer" activates only when used against an another monster is added to (the opponent who uses 's side of) to the field, and only targets a lot single monster, whereas the destruction effect of monster removal"Eraser" activates when it is destroyed and destroys all cards on the field. * "[[The Wicked Avatar]]": It closely resembles "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]". Royal Decree can helpThe effect of "Avatar" is the reverse of the effect of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", as Wicked Gods tend which has several effects to be somewhat attack oriented and it would be devastating to run into Sakuretsu Armorgain ATK, while "Avatar" only has one, Mirror Forcewhere the ATK of this card was only one point higher than the strongest monster, or Magic Cylinder. Howeverand "Ra" used all but one of your Life Points for its effect, Royal Decree will prevent you from using Trap Cardsas well as gaining ATK by sacrificing monsters (including its Tributes) in the anime and manga (both were changed to 100 for the TCG/OCG). In a pinchother words, however"Ra" needs monsters and Life Points sacrificed to be stronger, you can use [[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]] whereas "Avatar" needs monsters alive to momentarily save a Wicked God from destructionbe stronger.

As mentioned before, ==Gallery=====Card forms===<gallery>TheWickedDreadroot-EN-Manga-R.png | [[The Wicked Gods themselves are attack oriented Dreadroot (manga)|The Wicked Eraser being an exception). Since they already have exorbitant attacks, [[Big Bang ShotDreadroot]] and TheWickedEraser-EN-Manga-R.png | [[Fairy Meteor CrushThe Wicked Eraser (manga)|The Wicked Eraser]] can help to inflict massive damageTheWickedAvatar-EN-Manga-R. They are also excellent candidates for cards such as png | [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] and [[Shooting Star Bow - Ceal]], as their atks will be sufficiently high enough to not be hampered by the attack loss. Be aware of The Wicked Avatar's effect: it's stats are based on the highest ATK on the field, not DEF. Thus do not run into random face-down monsters unless you have a reasonably high ATK, as their destruction will not be ensured otherwise.(manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]</gallery>

===Monster forms===<gallery>TheWickedDreadroot-JP-Manga-R-NC.png | [[The Wicked Dreadroot (manga)|The Wicked Eraser is designed to punish the opponent for swarming and setting cards, gaining [[ATKDreadroot]] for each card under their control, and wiping the field if it's destroyed. This is especially effective against Crystal Beasts, Zombies, and any other deck that requires either massive field presence or swarmingTheWickedEraser-JP-Manga-R-NC. If your opponent does not like to swarm, png | [[Ojama TrioThe Wicked Eraser (manga)|The Wicked Eraser]], TheWickedAvatar-JP-Manga-R-NC.png | [[Nightmare ArchfiendsThe Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]], and any other cards that summon monsters to your opponent's field or causes them to set many cards. Gilasaurus is particularly good for this, as three of them can give you exactly the amount for this card's summoning, as well as giving your opponent 3 monsters, at least 3000 attack for Eraser. Inferno Reckless Summon can do the same. </gallery>

As you ==Playing style==The "Wicked Gods" themselves possess nigh-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the game in your favor, but they are likely considerably harder to exhaust many resources with the get out than their "Sacred Beasts" counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning of one Godrequirements, Pot of Avarice might be a good choicethey are not Special Summons. This can They also require 3 Tributes each and cannot be especially deadly combined used with Nimble Momonga and any other searcher "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]". Thus, monsterswho survive battles, ones with high DEF, as their effects makes the drawback or those who you can Special Summon/Summon multiple copies of deck thickening almost nonexistent. The Wicked Gods themselves cannot in a single turn should be special summonedused, so this is a good way to recycle them back into the deck without having to use a dedicated card for the jobor monsters that can not be destroyed by battle.

Another version of this deck is to use your opponents cards against them. This version of With the deck is very devastating as you can summon all exception of the "[[The Wicked GodsAvatar]] using your ", the Wicked Gods themselves lack Spell and Trap protection, and thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent's monsterswho uses a lot of monster removal. It has one main lockdown combo combining The Wicked Dreadroot and The Wicked Avatar along with "[[Stealth BirdMarch of the Monarchs]]s " and "[[Yata-GarasuMound of the Bound Creator]]" can help.

Yet another version of this deck "The Wicked Eraser" is designed to integrate punish the opponent for swarming effect of Zombies to make summoning the Wicked Gods even faster. With and setting cards, gaining [[Double Coston]] as a 4-star Zombie that can benefit from [[MezukiATK]] for each card under their control, and [[Zombie Master]]wiping the field if it's revival effects, you can summon fast, hit hard, and protect your Wicked God from being destroyed by Synchro Summoning [[Stardust Dragon]].

[[Premium Pack 2021]] released support cards designed to aid in the Summoning of the Wicked Gods. "[[Angel O1]]" can be Special Summoned by revealing a Level 7 or higher monster in the hand, and also allows an extra Normal Summon 3 /Set, while "[[Hero KidTellus the Little Angel]] from your deck " can quickly Summon multiple Tokens to aid in the Summoning of the Gods. "[[Divine Evolution]]" can be used with the three Wicked Gods in addition to [[Reinforce TruthDivine-Beast]] for an easy tribute summonmonsters, providing them with additional ATK and preventing their effects from being negated.
