Elecs are the second Thunder-Type Archetype after the Batterymen that introduced in The Shining Darkness with further support in the upcoming Duelist Revolution. As the name suggests they are Thunder-type Monsters. Visually, they're animals with electric abilities. Each one's name starts with "Elec", and the Japanese name is a portmanteau of "Eleki" with the animal's name. For example, "Elecfox"'s Japanese name is "Elekitsune", and "kitsune" is the Japanese word for "fox".

Play Style
This archetype appears to have a lockdown strategy. Elecgiraffe and Elecfox have ways of preventing the opponent from activating effects of any kind for a turn. Elecpecker prevents your opponent's monsters from changing battle positions. Meanwhile, Elecgoldfish discards from your opponent's hand, Elecpheasant can temporarily remove monsters from play, and Eleclemur can force your opponent to skip a battle phase.

Because Elecgiraffe and Elecpheasant can attack directly with 1200 and 1000 ATK respectively, Elecpecker is a double attacker, and the support card Elecube can boost any of them up by at least 1000 ATK for one turn, an Elec deck would have to be quite aggressive. Use cards like Luminous Spark, Honest, and possibly Rai-Jin to boost the attack strength of your monsters.

Trivia

 * The monsters of the archetype that appear in The Shining Darkness, in alphabetical order, are "Elecfox", "Elecpecker", and "Elecgiraffe". Pecker has 200 more ATK and one more level than Fox, and Giraffe has 200 more ATK and one more level than Pecker. They also all have the same 100 DEF.
