Description
V-Idol is an archetype made up of LIGHT Cyberse monsters. They specialize in flipping up, down, and all around for multiple uses - from floodgating the opponent, to making you go plus! Another small thing to note, is that all the monsters have the same ATK as they do DEF!

Strength
The strengths for this archetype would probably be it's wide variety of effects. As mentioned before, they can prove to me a bit floodgatey or used as consistency boosts!

Weakness
Any given weakness for this archetype would probably come from the idea that the monsters string themselves along. If you get rid of the play mid-way, or before it even starts, the archetype would have to start from Square 1 with the same card(s) just to reenact the same play again

Note: This is the basic structure of the archetype. There's certainly more to add in the future! But as for right now, this gals(and guy) are enough to Dazzle the Stage~

Preliminary analysis~


Miku
Pros:
● Ceiling Re-Raise Role (Forces response by deactivating opposing monsters)
● Responsive Defense Role (Prevents opposing plays by flip)
Cons:
● Level 6

Meiko
Pros:
● Additional Extender Role (Makes further plays, but requires notable setup to do so)
● Enables Special Summons, from Deck
Cons:
● Uses the Normal Summon
● Needs setup
Other:
● Second effect has a strange interaction with Normal Spell/Traps which could stand to be clarified?

Luka
Pros:
● Additional Extender Role
● Enables Special Summons, from Deck
Cons:
● Level 6

Rin
Pros:
● Additional Extender Role (Both effects)
● Core Removal Role (Searchable non-targeting non-destruction removal is very good)
Cons:
● Uses the Normal Summon

Len
Pros:
● Additional Extender Role
● Reactive Defense Role
Cons:
● Uses the Normal Summon


V-Stage
Pros:
● Situational Defense Role (Traps)
● Is a Spell

V-Encore
Pros:
● Placeholder (Increases consistency without net gain)
● Searches, from Deck
● Is a Spell



Overall
Strengths:
● Powerful defensive effects in Miku and Len
Weaknesses:
● Severely lacking in play Starters; depends largely on non-archetypal cards to make multiple plays, requires multiple cards to make any in-archetype plays.
● Many cards compete for the Normal Summon; Tempo loss due to being limited in how many of these can be activated a turn.
● Only 1 Re-Raise Ceiling card, which only affects monsters and requires being Special Summoned; Heavy weakness to floodgates.
● Depends on having V-Stage or V-Encore before performing the Normal Summon: Other than with Terraforming, these cannot be searched without Summoning Meiko.

I'm not going to give an in-depth analysis, because I'm not part of the team for that and Idc what they say, but take or leave muh thoughts, I give them only to help <3
Theme: I personally love Vocaloids, but I do not think they should be "When flipped face-up" deck, because they are meant to shine! Think of Trickstars, but do something unique.
Art: Where did you find them??? But besides how good the art is, the words on the card are a little off. What do you use, maybe you should ask a person in the discord for help.
Balance: Try to avoid Special Summons from deck with an easy plus effect chain(Like activate any V- Card, NS meiko, SS Luka, Luka Eff to SS Miku, Miku turns your opponent's monsters FD and inflicts damage, then you use Meiko's Effect to flip Luka and add 1 to hand) From 2 cards, you've gained 3 cards(1 to hand others to field) all from your Main Deck without Extra Deck help.
The V- Field Spell does not do much, you have some effects that do not do much, despite it doing good, a field spell that only doesn't give value to the archeteype is something that isn't good. Don't get me wrong, it is an alright effect, but you should reach for some uniqueness besides the gain ATK and give protection effect.
Also, Discarding to add is alright since it is OPT and can be recycled with your other cards, but you should rethink these cards all together.
All of these are opinions: Disclaimer
Have fun in your card making, make sure to ask for help!
