Kaiju

"Kaiju" (from the Japanese 怪獣 kaiju, lit. "monster") is an archetype of high-Level monsters introduced in "Clash of Rebellions". It is one of two TCG-exclusive archetypes that premiered in that set, the other being the "Kozmo" archetype.

Origin
Each "Kaiju" monster is based on a monster from the Godzilla films. The Field Spell is based on one of the main settings. Their artworks all feature them destroying buildings in Kyoutou Waterfront.

Playing Style
Each member so far can Tribute an opponent's monster to Summon it to their side of the field, similar to "Volcanic Queen" or "Lava Golem", and can be Special Summoned from the hand if the opponent controls a "Kaiju" monster. "Kyoutou Waterfront" is a very important card to the archetype as it both provides Kaiju Counters to use the "Kaiju" monsters' effects and searches those monsters from the Deck. Numerous Normal Spell cards, such as "Upstart Goblin" and "Pot of Duality", are recommended to put Kaiju Counters on "Waterfront" and increase consistency, since the archetype currently has few members and needs to search them quickly. The "Ninja" engine is also very helpful as of Clash of Rebellions because it helps to Summon the few monsters in the archetype with ease, while also putting counters on "Waterfront" with cards such as "Reinforcement of the Army" and the "Ninjitsu Transformation" cards.
