Aroma

"Aroma" (アロマ Aroma) is an archetype consisting of female Plant-Type monsters set to debut in Clash of Rebellions. The archetype's monsters all derive their names from various species of flowers, all of which are used to produce essential oils.

Playing style
"Aroma" monsters share two common types of effects: a Continuous Effect that applies while their controller has more LP than the opponent, and a Trigger Effect that activates when their controller gains LP. The Continuous Effect supports Plant-Type monsters and encourage the controller to engage in battle by granting them advantages in that area against the opponent, while the Trigger Effects focus upon increasing utility, partly through field disruption.

The battling aspect that is encouraged by the archetype is also pronounced by its only known support card, "Aroma Garden", which grants the controller 500 LP during their turn when they control an "Aroma" monster, while additionally bolstering the ATK and DEF of all of their monsters by 500 until the end of the opponent's next turn. The downside of battling is also covered by the card, which increases the controller's LP by 1000 when an "Aroma" monster they control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.

The archetype's efficacy can be enhanced with the use of cards that increase the LP of the controller. Such cards should preferably do so by a significant margin, such as with "Griggle" and "Aegis of Gaia", or over a prolonged period of time, such as with "Solemn Wishes" and "Golden Ladybug", to keep the Continuous Monster Effects of the "Aroma" monsters active. As several of the "Aroma" monsters, except "Bergamot", have low ATK and DEF and still emphasize battling, cards such as "Draining Shield" and "Nutrient Z" keep your LP safe while fulfilling the archetype's mandate of increasing your LP and maintaining a high LP count.

Weaknesses
Given that the archetype focuses on gaining LP, it is extremely vulnerable to cards such as "Bad Reaction to Simochi" and "Nurse Reficule the Fallen One", which subvert LP gaining effects and instead damages you for the same amount. Or cards like "Asleep at the Switch" destroy monsters your opponent controls when it gains LP.
