Knightmare

"Troymare" is an archetype of Fiend monsters set to debut in Flames of Destruction. The archetype is related to, and is supported by, the "World Legacy" archetype and is focused on Link Summons and being co-linked.

Appearance
The "Troymare" monsters have different Attributes and the ones with the four elemental Attributes have a color scheme that corresponds to that Attribute.

Etymology
The "Troymare" Link monsters are based on mythologic creatures:

Playing Style
The main goal of this archetype is to build a field with as many co-linked monsters as possible, to the point of achieving a state of Extra Link. All the "Troymare" Link monsters revealed so far have effects that activate when they are Link Summoned, by the cost of 1 card in the player's hand, and they allow the player to draw 1 card if they were co-linked when those effects were activated; also, they have Continuous Effects that are either benefit monsters that are co-linked or burden monsters that are not.

Due to their first effect requiring a discard as a cost, they may have synergy with "The Fabled" monsters; also, they tend to allow the player to control the field by achieving an Extra Link and disabling the opponent from Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. This goal can be further deepened by Special Summoning "Destroymare Iblee" to the opponent's field and preventing the opponent from disrupting the "Troymare" player's strategy by Special Summoning a "Kaiju" monster, for example.
