Inzektor

Inzecter is an archetype of DARK Insect-Type monsters which was introduced in Order of Chaos.

Most Inzecters have effects that involve allowing them to equip another "Inzecter" from the hand or grave, or an effect that occurs when they are equipped to another monster. Level 3 "Inzecter" monsters can increase the level of the monster they are equipped to by 3. Inzecter Hornet has the additional effect of increasing the host monsters ATK and DEF by 500 and is able to destroy 1 card on the field by sending itself to the grave while equipped, while Inzecter Ameise can destroy itself in place of the host monster while also boosting its ATK and DEF by its own ATK and DEF. Both the effects of Hornet and Ameise trigger the effects of Inzecter Damsel and Inzecter Centipede

Playing Style
Inzecters mainly play straightforward with Inzecter Damsel and Inzecter Centipede, by summoning one, then equipping Inzecter Hornet to one of them, to search for the other, either to hand or grave. The "Giga" Inzecters serve mostly to protect Damsel for more spam, though they can be used with Hornet as means of revival and a search. They are best for Rank 3 Xyz monsters, and Synchros with a level that's a multiple of 3.

Cards like Maxx "C", Armageddon Knight, and Tour Guide From the Underworld increase their consistency by giving them ways to search, draw, and thin the deck for an Xyz Summon, such as Wind-Up Zenmaines or Leviair the Sea Dragon to increase their ability to swarm the field, and to get Damsel and Hornet to a usable area as fast as possible.

Fiendish Chain protects Damsel so that she can live for more turns, and shuts down threats from the opponent. In addition to staples, it serves to allow Damsel to use her effect multiple times, without worry.

Genex Ally Birdman is the best tuner for the job, as it can allow you to re-use Damsel if it survived a turn, or just return Damsel to the hand to allow for a Synchro or Xyz with the Centibeet that searched. Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier can also help out a lot if you discard Inzecter Hornet, as it can be equipped from the hand or Grave.

Weaknesses

 * Effect Veiler and Skill Drain will easily stop the monsters from using their equip effects in the first place. Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror can shut this deck down because of all their effects resolving on the field or in the Graveyard, with the exception of the Equip effects of Inzecter Gigamantis and Inzecter Gigaweevil. Doomcaliber Knight is much better than Thunder King Rai-Oh against Inzecters, though a simple Maxx "C" can take him out.

Trivia

 * This archetype is similar to "Dragunity" and "Vylon" in that they equip with themselves in order to gain various effects.
 * This archetype could be based on Kamen Rider Kabuto for their distinctive feature to "equip" their respective mechanical insects/arachnids, called "Zecters", in order to transform.
 * The idea of equipping each other may have came from Zexal Weapon - Unicorn King Spear, which is released in the same pack.
