| − | Overall, the weakness of this archetype is that their monsters, except their Xyz Monsters, focus heavily on their own archetype, so it's best to not add too many non-"Sacred" monsters. Also, they have many mid-Level monsters, such as Level 5 & 6, so it's going to be stressful if you start with a hand full of those monsters and don't have summoning support cards. |

Playing style
The "Sacred" archetype mostly focuses on Xyz Summons, and most non-Xyz "Sacred" monsters so far have effects that trigger on Summon and focus on both swarming and toolboxing. "Sacred" Xyz Monsters all require LIGHT-Attribute monsters to be Xyz Summoned. "Sacred Dabaran", "Sacred Gredi", and "Sacred Spica", when Normal Summoned, can Special Summon another "Sacred" monster with the same Level as they have. "Sacred Sheratan" and "Sacred Eska" can both add another "Sacred" monster from the Deck to the hand when Summoned to the field.

Duel Terminal storyline
The "Verz" have spread across the entire Duel Terminal world, which is about to end due to their influence. Those who remain pray to the legend of the "Messiahs" passed down by the elders of each tribe. Are these "Sacred", self proclaimed knights or the heralds of the stars?
