Type

Types are a means to split monsters into groups (in a broader way to what Attributes do) in order to enable Support Cards granting various effects, to a specific order of monsters. Players use Field Spell Cards to use Type divides to their advantage.

Each monster has 1 Type, and there are 21 different legal Types in the OCG & TCG:. Divine-Beast is exclusive to the Egyptian Gods, while Immortal only appears in "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses".

Aqua [[Image:Aqua.png]]
Aqua monsters represent water and liquid for the most part, if not ice in certain cases, such as "Mobius the Frost Monarch". In the same respect, most Aqua-Type monsters are Water-Attribute monsters.

The powerful Archetype of Frog monsters fall into this category.

Other notable Aqua-Type monsters include: "Tribe-Infecting Virus", "Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon", "Penguin Soldier", "Abyss Soldier", "Servant of Catabolism", and "Yomi Ship".

The monsters that belong to this Type also gain a boost from "Umi", as well as "Power of Kaishin", and "Maiden of the Aqua".

Beast [[Image:Beast.png]]
Beast monsters are often overlooked, but work well with Beast-Warrior Type monsters.

Archetypes such as the Ojamas, Sphinx, and Koala monsters, in addition to a good portion of the Crystal Beasts fall underneath this Type.

Some other respectable Beast-Type monsters are "Bazoo the Soul-Eater", "Berserk Gorilla", "King Tiger Wanghu", "Outstanding Dog Marron", "Mosaic Manticore", "Rescue Cat", and "Voltech Kong".

Beast support include:


 * Beast Fangs
 * Beast Soul Swap

Beast-Warrior [[Image:Beast-Warrior.png]]
Beast-Warriors monsters usually resemble anthropomorphic animals or other half-man, half-animal creatures such as centaurs. Their effects generally apply after destroying a monster, and help them destroy monsters easier.

Beast-Warrior is its own Type of monster and Beast-Warriors are not affected by effects that affect either Beast or Warrior-Type monsters.

The only Beast-Warrior Archetype is the Phantom Beasts, though other notable monsters include "Cat's Ear Tribe", "Chiron the Mage", "Exarion Universe", "Gene-Warped Warwolf", "Ghost Knight of Jackal", "Gladiator Beast Darius", "Gladiator Beast Laquari", "Enraged Battle Ox", "Pitch-Black Warwolf", "Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei", and "Lycanthrope", "Mother Grizzly", "Panther Warrior".

Beast-Warrior support cards include:


 * Forest
 * Manticore of Darkness
 * Mystical Moon
 * Sogen
 * Wild Nature's Release

Dinosaur [[Image:Dinosaur.png]]
Dinosaur monsters are a type of monster who primarily rely on brute strength, rather than their effects, to help a duelist prevail in a Duel. There are many high-level dinosaur-types, so the general strategy and most support is to get out Tribute dinosaur monsters from your hand.

A lot of Dinosaur-Type monsters have high ATK like "Frostosaurus" and "Super Conductor Tyranno", "Black Tyranno", and "Ultimate Tyranno", and "Guardian Grarl".

They also now have their own Structure Deck, Dinosaur's Rage.

Dragon [[Image:Dragon.png]]
Dragon monsters are a powerful Type to contend with, often focusing on brute ATK strength and Fusion monsters, but most have special effects that add to their devastation.

As of now, the highest ATK monsters in the game, "Dragon Master Knight" and "Five-Headed Dragon" are Dragons. In addition, the most powerful Normal Monster is also a Dragon; "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", including all its support cards. "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" and "Rainbow Dragon" are also noticeable. Plus two of the most powerful LV series, Armed Dragons and Horus are also Dragon Types.

Dragons also have their own two Structure Decks, Dragon's Roar and Revival of the Great Dragon, whose TCG counterpart is Rise of the Dragon Lords.

To date there are no Flip Effect Dragon-Type monsters.

Fairy [[Image:Fairy.png]]
Fairy monsters usually represent beings of Light such as sprites or angels. Many times, the effects of Fairy monsters involve some restoration of the player's Life Points.

They are at a disadvantage when "Yami" is on the field, though fairies do have their own Field Spell Card, "The Sanctuary in the Sky". Plus many gain a 500 ATK point boost from cards such as "Luminous Spark", "Rising Air Current" or "Gaia Power" because most Fairy monsters are either Light, Wind, or Earth Attribute (and in a few cases, Dark and Water Attributes too.)

The Agent and Archlord cards of the Ancient Sanctuary series are perhaps some of the best-known Fairies and some possess good effects. Union monsters "Aitsu" and "Koitsu" work very well together as a low-level union with a high ATK, as do "Soitsu" and "Doitsu". "Cloudians" are a Water attribute but share the fairy sub type, they also use "The Sanctuary in the Sky" in their main gameplay. The Majestic Mechs are also another good breed of Fairies.

One of the best-known Fairy archtypes are the Synthetic Angels, who have effects revolving around the use of Counter Trap Cards. Bountiful Artemis and Voltanis the Adjudicator are examples of this. This archtype was featured prominently in the OCG Structure Deck Wave of Flashing Light.

In the OCG, Fairies are called Angels.

Fiend [[Image:Fiend.png]]
Fiend Monsters are a particularly nasty type of card to face. Fiends also power up from the "Yami" Field Spell Card, and since many Fiends are Dark, also get a boost from "Mystic Plasma Zone". Many have effects that limit the opponents options, though they have to be sent to the Graveyard in order to work.

Popular Fiend Archetypes include Archfiend and Dark World, a new Archetype being the new Evil Hero monsters pemiered in Gladiator's Assault. "The Wicked Avatar" and its support cards also fall under Fiend Type monsters in addition to LV monsters such as Dark Lucius, and Dark Mimic.

Insect [[Image:Insect.png]]
Insect monsters are a versatile, and somewhat well-supported Type of Monster that go hand-in-hand with plant-type monsters. The common attributes associated with them is Earth and Wind.

An early strategy with insect-types was with the card "Parasite Paracide", which would summon on the opponents field, and change the types of the opponents monsters to insect as well. And, it would go from there. But recently, Insect type monsters have increased in playability, and are more common to see in a deck than they would have been earlier.

Machine [[Image:Machine.png]]
Machine monsters are powerful, and in some cases, fearsome to face in battle. They rely on high ATK, the ability to rapidly boost ATK, and in the case of the "Ancient Gear" monsters, preventing the opponent from activating Spell and Trap Cards until after the Damage Step has concluded.

Most machine monsters have Dark, Earth, or Fire attributes. Their general strategy really quite varies. Machines monsters also have their own Structure Deck, Machine Re-Volt.

Plant [[Image:Plant.png]]
Plants were until Phantom of Darkness, a very unsupported type. The general strategy for Plant-Type monsters is to swarm the field using cards like Gigaplant, Lonefire Blossom and Lord Poison. They can go hand-in-hand with Insect-Types as well with cards like Arcane Archer of the Forest and Prickle Fairy. The most usual Attribute associated with Plants is Earth but another Attribute getting increasingly associated with Plants is Fire.

Some of the more commonly used Plant-Type monsters include "Mystic Tomato", "Homunculus the Alchemic Being", "Dandylion", "Neo-Spacian Glow Moss", "Lonefire Blossom", "Gigaplant", "Lord Poison" and "Rigorous Reaver".

Plant types only have 3 "strong" monsters, the 2 really usable ones being "Gigaplant" and "Fairy King Truesdale".

 * Cabalist

Pyro [[Image:Pyro.png]]
Pyro monsters are almost always of the Fire Attribute, and represent control over Fire, or they may be flame itself. Their effects often involve the dealing of Direct Damage to opponents.

Currently, there is no Field Spell Card designed especially for Pyro-Type Monsters, though the card "Molten Destruction" works to increase the ATK of Fire Monsters by 500.

Archetypes include the Volcanic monsters and the Helios series.

Some commonly used Pyro-Type monsters are "Uria", Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch", "Fire Princess", "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi", "Infernal Flame Emperor", "Raging Flame Sprite", and "Tenkabito Shien".

Support cards include "Gaia Soul the Combustible Collective", "Solar Flare Dragon", "Royal Firestorm Guards", and "The Thing in the Crater".

Though powerful, Pyro-type monsters are weak against cards such as Oxygeddon, Water Dragon, and Umi.

Reptile [[Image:Reptile.png]]
Reptile monsters were once one of the most overlooked types, their only use previously being tribute fodder for "Ultra Evolution Pill". However, with the release of the Alien and Venom monsters, Reptiles have come into their own as a Type that focuses on controlling the opponent by the use of Counters. This is also the only Type of card which does not have any Fusion card (Counting the OCG and TCG).

Reptiles gain no boost from any Field Spell Card; however, Aliens do get a helping hand from "Otherworld - The "A" Zone", while Venoms benefit from "Venom Swamp".

Archetypes include Alien monsters, Venom monsters, Gagagigo plus its transformations, and the Attribute reptiles.

Other notciable Reptiles are "Sinister Serpent", "Balloon Lizard", "Granadora", "Serpentine Princess", and "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes".

Support cards include: "Snake Rain", "Snake Whistle", "Damage = Reptile", and "Razor Lizard".

Rock [[Image:Rock.png]]
Rock monsters are an often-overlooked Type, though there were many released in The Lost Millennium series. Usually, Rock monsters belong to the Earth Attribute and possess high DEF and defense-related effects.

Archetypes include Monk, the Hex-Sealed Fusion family, and Sphinx cards.

Some of the more notable cards include: "Exxod, Master of The Guard", "Gigantes", "Legendary Jujitsu Master", "Mine Golem", "Moai Interceptor Cannons", "Muka Muka", "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole", "Sand Moth", "Stone Statue of the Aztecs", and "Castle Gate"

Four Field Spell Cards exist that work particularly well with Rock monsters. "Wasteland" increases the ATK and DEF of Rock monsters by 200. "Canyon" inflicts double damage to anyone attacking a Defense Position Rock Monster with a weaker monster, "Gaia Power" increases the ATK of Earth monsters by 500 points, though it weakens their DEF, an important part of Rock Monsters' strategy, and "Acidic Downpour" which is the reverse of Gaia Power, decreasing their ATK by 500 but gain 400 DEF. Rock-Type monsters are weak against the card, "Breath of Light".

They also have their own Structure Deck, Invincible Fortress.

Support cards include:


 * Canyon
 * Wasteland
 * Rock Bombardment
 * Release from Stone
 * Megarock Dragon
 * Lost Guardian

The only support card Sea Serpent monsters have is "Umi".

Spellcaster [[Image:Spellcaster.png]]

Warrior [[Image:Warrior.png]]
Warrior monsters are perhaps one of the most versatile, if not the most versatile Monster Type.

Nearly all the Elemental Hero and Destiny Hero monsters are Warriors, in addition to Amazonesses, Dark Scorpions, D.D., Knight, Silent Swordsman, Mystic Swordsman, Sasuke Samurai, Six Samurai, and Cyber Girls.

Zombie [[Image:Zombie.png]]
Zombie monsters are perhaps the best sub-type at Swarming the field. Zombie monsters may be easy to dispose of, but in many cases, they'll just keep returning to the field. They are usually Dark monsters, although a noticable number are Earth, and represent the living dead.

Zombies also have their own Structure Deck, Zombie Madness. Bonz, from the anime uses a Zombie deck also.

In the OCG, Zombies are called Undead, although close examination shows that it is actually Undeat. This possibly resulted when staff from Konami mistakingly printed 「アンデット」 instead of 「アンデッド」 on every Zombie card in Volume 1, and came into the spotlight when Undeat Warrior was released in Volume 2. While this stirred confusion back then, it is now treated as a long running joke by the OCG community.

Divine-Beast [[Image:Divine-Beast.png]]
These cards to any avid Yu-Gi-Oh player means one thing and one thing only: Trouble.

These 4 God Cards are deemed as legendary and to be the most powerful cards in the entire game in the anime and manga, each having their own unique and devastating effects. However, you are not allowed to play any of these cards in the TCG.

Immortal [[Image:Immortal.png]]
Immortal is a monster Type that exists in the game Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses. Immortal cards are not affected by the effect of "Crush Card Virus" (in fact, they're powered by it).

Black Magic
Commonly used to refer to "Dark" Monsters, Black Magic itself refers to the "Dark" arts of Magic, specifically, the use of Elemental Forces, Negative Effects, and generally anything that causes harm to your opponent.

White Magic
Commonly used to refer to "Light" Monsters, White Magic itself refers to the "White" arts of Magic, specifically, the use of Healing & Regenerative Forces, Positive Effects, and generally anything that helps and/or protects you from your opponent.

? [[Image:?.png]]
This indicated that the Type is either unknown at this time, or is not a fixed value, such in the case of some Tokens.
