Speedroid

"Speedroid" (スピードロイド Supīdoroido, written as in the anime) is an archetype of WIND Machine-Type monsters used by Yugo in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. The archetype is a sub-archetype of the "roid" archetype.

Design
"Speedroid" monsters mostly resemble weaponized toys, like tops and boomerangs, or make references to games, like dice, with their names commonly being puns or portmanteaus with the names of said toys/games.

The Synchro Monsters are called "Hi-Speedroid" ("Highspeedroid" in Japanese). The Tuner monsters all have "Dice" in their names, except for "Denden Daiko Duke".

Playing Style
"Speedroids" focus on fast Synchro Summons. "Terrortop" and "Double Yoyo" are basically 1-card Synchro Summon monsters. "Taketomborg" can grab any "Speedroid" Tuner from your Deck for Deck-thinning (while also enables higher Level Synchro Summons) and "Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice" can manipulate Levels to let you Synchro Summon any monster between Levels 2 and 7. "Speedroids" also have a high focus on banishing their own cards from the Graveyard to fuel their card effects and support cards.

Interestingly enough, this Deck can also make good use of Xyz Monsters. Rank 3 and 4 monsters like "Totem Bird", "Lightning Chidori", and "Gear Gigant X" can all be used, and with "Red-Eyed Dice", you can make sure their Levels match.

Weaknesses

 * Although "Speedroids" are an excellent swarming Deck, the archetype itself is almost completely focused on the user, and their cards have somewhat low utility on its own, with very few cards that hinder the opponent substantially. Therefore, it is somewhat dependent on whatever monster they Synchro Summoned in order to maintain both offense and defense on the field.


 * The biggest weakness of this deck is their heavy dependency on "Speedroid Terrortop" and the fact that while it is the deck's primary searcher, it is unsearchable through normal means itself (similar on how "Mecha Phantom Beasts" rely on their "Megaraptor"), which can severely hamper the Deck's speed and preventing them from maintaining card advantage during the early game.


 * The Deck relies heavily on their Graveyard, which can be exploited through banishing cards such as "Dimensional Fissure" and "Macro Cosmos".


 * Because they are very dependent on Synchro Summons, they are also susceptible to Anti-Special Summoning cards such as "Vanity's Emptiness", "Vanity's Fiend", and "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo".
