"Aquaactress" (アクアアクトレス Akua-akutoresu, written as アクア・アクトレス in the anime) is an archetype of WATER Aqua monsters (WATER Fish in the anime) used by Allie in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.
Design[edit]
"Aquaactress" monsters are fish wearing human make-up and attire, similar to actors in a play, while their support cards are elements related to plays, such as "lighting" and "stage". Each "Aquaactress" monster is named after a kind of fish. Also, their names and general appearance are based on tropical freshwater fish.

Playing style[edit]
"Aquaactress" monsters revolve around quickly swarming the field, having search and Special Summoning monster effects, while using "Aqua Story - Urashima" and the "Aquarium" Continuous Spell Cards to quickly raise their ATK, as well as other battle effects. "Aquarium" cards are the true strength behind "Aquaactress" archetype. The three current "Aquarium" cards give them attack boosts, immunity to monster effects and double ATK when they battle, while the "Aquaactress" themselves give the Deck consistency, as "Aquaactress Tetra" is able to search "Aquarium" cards, which would otherwise be hard to get. All "Aquarium" Continuous Spell Cards also have this effect: "If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can target 1 Aqua monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except Aqua-Type monsters.". This extends their support even further, giving the Deck a wide range of Aqua utility monsters. By using "Magical Hats", you can Summon up to 2 Aqua monsters from your Graveyard, and since it was done in your opponent's turn, you are free to Special Summon non-Aqua monsters during your turn. Due to how relatively small the "Aquaactress" archetype is, the Deck usually contains other WATER or Aqua engines such as "Frog", "Mermail", "Penguin", or "Icejade".
Recommended cards[edit]
Weaknesses[edit]
- Cards such as "Cosmic Cyclone" can remove the "Aquarium" cards without triggering their effects. "Anti-Spell Fragrance" and "Imperial Order" Can also hinder these cards from supporting the monsters on the field.
- As "Tetra" and "Arowana" add from Deck to Hand, a variety of "Hand traps" can hinder the deck such as "Droll & Lock Bird" and the ever common "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring"
