Chronomaly

"Chronomaly", known as "OOPArts" ( Ōpātsu) in Japan, is an archetype of cards used by III in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. Most are either EARTH or LIGHT-Attribute, and Rock or Machine-Type. The OCG name, "OOPArts", is an acronym for "Out-of-Place Artifact", a term used to describe artifacts that make no logical sense given the technology available at the time they were created. Such objects were also featured as part of the "Ancient Treasure" series in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. The TCG name, "Chronomaly", is a portmanteau of the word "chronology" which is the sequential order in which past events occur and "anomaly" as in an irregularity or something odd. Put together these monsters are "chronological anomalies" or "chronomalies" since these objects deviate from what would have been possible to create given the resources and technology available at that time.

Their effects support each other well, enabling quick swarming and Xyz Summons of Rank 5 Xyz Monsters, particularly through the LIGHT-Attribute monsters.

Playing style
"Chronomaly" monsters are focused on Xyz Summoning a wide range of Xyz Monsters. Many of their effects allow Special Summoning of more "Chronomaly" monsters. Support cards for their Types and Attributes can aide them in this.
