Star Seraph

"Star Seraph", known as "Holy Lightning" ( Hōrī Raitoningu) in Japan, is an archetype of LIGHT Fairy-Type monsters used by Dumon in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. Their non-Xyz Monsters' effects are centered around quickly Summoning each other from the hand, for Xyz Summoning their own ace and other Rank 4 Xyz Monsters.

The kanji in their Japanese names literally translate to "Light Angel", fitting to both their Type and Attribute.

Each member's name is also an alliteration of the letter S.

Play Style
Similar, but inferior to the "Hunder" archetype, two of the three monsters Normal/Special Summon other "Star Seraph" monsters, swarming the field. All "Star Seraph" monsters are Level 4 with slightly different effects as "hunders". With "Star Seraph Scout", when Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon another "Star Seraph" monster from your hand. The effect of "Star Seraph Sage" has you discard a Spell from your hand to Special Summon another "Star Seraph" monster from your hand. While the last monster, "Star Seraph Sword", instead of being able to Special Summon, it sends a "Star Seraph" monster from your hand to the Graveyard to increase its ATK until the End Phase. Adding in "Nova Summoner" is a great idea since when it's destroyed, you can Special Summon a LIGHT Fairy monster with 1500 ATK or less. It proves to be a much better option than "Shining Angel" since his effect leaves your Life Points open due to Special Summoning your monster in Attack Position.

Another approach involves using Photon Thrasher and Gellenduo. Since both monsters are LIGHT monsters they can greatly reinforce Xyz Summons, since Thrasher can make an instant Rank 4 by his own effect and Gellenduo can become a wall to buy the player time for their plays, also their DEF at 0 makes them an ideal target for Masked Chameleon to perform Level 8 Synchro Summon tactics. Through these 3 monsters the deck can play smoothly while mitigating the otherwise high costs of the main deck Star Seraph monsters while also expanding their arsenal with powerful monsters.

Also since they are Fairy monsters, cards like Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen and Archlord Kristya can be used reliable to greatly enhance the summon of strong boss monsters.
