Additional Remarks

Advantages:

+ Kaiju/Monarch Resistant due to their on-Tribute effects activating regardless of what tributes them now

+ Powerful comeback ability

+ Able to utilize several support cards centered around Normal Monsters thanks to their inbuilt effects and the effect of the Field Spell

+ Capable of putting some respectable damage on the board once they get started

+The pendulum representatives allow them to engage in some minor lockdown capabilities, as well as their Trap allowing you to bait the opponent's first summon of each turn and mess up Linking Order

+Fairly consistent searching ability


Disadvantages:

- Not IMMUNE to removal, they're still able to be taken out by more common creature removal and even die to targeting destruction effects

- They start slowly, as they require set-up and several cards on the board before they can begin really cycling their effects

-Due to only being treated as Normal when in hand or Graveyard (or on the board thanks to the Field), they're still incompatible with some Normal Monster support such as Heart of the Underdog

-In spite of their respectable damage output, their options for dealing with opponent monsters that do manage to outstrip their attack power is limited

-This is not an explicit Pendulum Archetype, and only has 2 Pendulums in a total of 18 cards. Therefore the Pendulum Lockdown side is fairly inconsistent and difficult to pull off

-Highly reliant on the Normal Summon to start their first several plays

Fiends of DarkLight

Description:
An archetype of LIGHT Fiend Pendulum monsters whom revolve mostly around using powerful Equip Spells and effects triggered by the presence of either their Fusion boss monster or said Equips to bring out their full potential, they also utilize a large amount of banishing based effects to clear the field before striking hard at their opponents.

They feature 12 cards (2 traps, 4 spells, 1 Fusion, 3 Effect Pendulums, and 2 Normal Pendulums).

Their Set Code is "DL01-EN0XX", where "xx" is the number of the individual card (I'll admit I was lazy and just numbered them in order of when they were made, except for ones I forgot and had to number after others were made, then it was at random), and their card ID code is "6897114xx" (placed in the Passcode area in the bottom left of all members).

Additional Remarks

Advantages:

+ Large amount of non-targeted removal in the form of face-down banishing effects
+ With Zealot in the Pendulum Zone, the relatively weak monsters can become quite strong quite fast
+ Thanks to Cleric's deceptively low Level and only requiring a DarkLight Equip Spell to boost itself to 3000 automatically, it shouldn't be difficult to reliably have at least one battle-ready monster defending oneself at all times
+ The wording (and intended effect) of Ultima's Summoning Conditions allow one to use the archetype's Equip Spells and Continuous Traps as summoning materials, to allow the boss to be brought out quickly


Disadvantages:

- Most options for non-targeted removal in the archetype tend to affect both sides of the field and result in equal losses, and can easily lead one to trap themselves if they forget this
- Due to most of the monsters having very low basic stats and the Equips themselves not offering many stat boosts, reliance on Zealot's boost can lead to a crippling defeat if it can be sniped out of the Pend Zone
- Aside from equipping Risen Spear to something, the archetype doesn't have any early game protection, as all of their protection effects require you to have Ultima and at least 1 other monster on the field at once
- Despite being Pendulum Monsters, they don't have many inherent options for field swarming
- Despite Ultima's lax summoning conditions and ability to use S/T as materials, do remember that it banishes those materials face-down, and therefore makes it very difficult to get them back again barring getting extremely lucky with the gambling effect of Warhammer or having access to the likes of Necroface or other outside support

Additional Remarks

Advantages:

Being Rituals, the main monsters of the deck aren't limited by Link Zones. As Pendulums, once destroyed on the field they can be revived using Pendulum Summoning from the Extra Deck. As the lowest level within the deck is level 7, they have generally high stats and can often hold their own in direct combat even when effects are negated. As the Field Spell allows them to temporarily change their levels for a turn at a time, they can possibly be used as an Xyz Engine, depending on build.


Disadvantages:

Also as Rituals, they require appropriate summoning conditions to be brought out and can end up as dead draws if one doesn't get a relevant Ritual Spell in time to use them. Due to being revived from the Extra Deck, though, as Pendulums, they will require Linked Zones to "come back", as it were. Unfortunately, as the lowest level available is 7, they often require large Tributes for their Ritual Summons and can burn resources quite quickly.
