"Qliphoth" (クリフォート Kurifōto) is an archetype of Machine-Type EARTH monsters, set to debut in the forthcoming Next Challengers. Their apparent focus is to Pendulum Summon monsters to fuel Tribute Summons, with effects that activate when Tributed or when summoned by Tributing members of the archetype. This is reflected in the eye-shaped motifs visible in their appearances; these motifs are flanked by two crystals, one blue and another red, that are identical to the indicators of a Pendulum Scale.

With the exception of "Qliphoth Tool", all "Qliphoth" monsters revealed so far have 1000 DEF ("Tool" has 1000 ATK) and possess the following (unofficial) effects:

  • Pendulum Effect: You cannot Special Summon any monsters, except "Qliphoth" monsters (this effect cannot be negated). "Qliphoth" monsters you control gain 300 ATK and/or opponent's monsters lose 300 ATK.
  • Monster Effect: You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If this card was Special Summoned or Normal Summoned without Tributing, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800. If this card was Normal Summoned, this card is unaffected by effects activated by monsters whose original Level or Rank is lower than this card's Level.
