Melodious " Melodious " ( " Gensō " ) is an archetype of female LIGHT Fairy monsters used by Zuzu Boyle in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . Design . Appearance . So far , " Melodious " monsters are female creatures wearing flowing , regal clothing . They also feature various music - related objects on their bodies such as musical notes . Another example is that the wings of " Mozarta the Melodious Maestra " have a piano - key design to them . The " Melodious Diva " and " Melodious Songstress " monsters have varied appearances from child - like to young woman , the " Melodious Maestra " monsters have adult - like appearance , while the " Melodious Choir " monsters have child - like appearance . The " Melodious Choir " monsters also incorporate floral design in them , referring to Zuzu Boyle ' s bracelet motif . In addition , " Mozarta " and " Shopina " have butterfly wings / seats which represents the Symbiosis Relationship between butterflies and flowers . Etymology . The archetype ' s Japanese name , " Gensō " ( 幻奏 ) , is a word play ; it is " illusion " ( 幻想 ) written with the Kanji of " playing music " ( 奏 ) . It is also a pun on the Japanese word " ensou " ( 演奏 ) , which means " musical performance " . The monsters ' descriptions also have similar word plays ; the " oto " from " Otome " ( " Maiden " ) and " Otohime " ( " Prima " ) are written with the Kanji of " sound " ( 音 ) . The " Melodious Diva " monsters are named after famous styles and themes of music , " Melodious Maestra " monsters are named after composers of classical music and " Melodious Songstress " monsters are named after vocal ranges . Playing style . The high Level " Melodious " monsters focus on Special Summon ing the low - Level Monsters , which are focused on locking down attacks . The Fusion Monsters are the main offensive power . The Main Deck " Melodious " monsters have effects that Special Summon , such as " Sonata the Melodious Diva " or that activate if they were Special Summoned , like " Elegy the Melodious Diva " . " Shopina the Melodious Maestra " helps keep hand advantage to fuel Special Summoning " Melodious " Monsters or optional tech cards like " Honest " and " Archlord Kristya " . The main lockdown strategy of this archetype is to Special Summon " Aria the Melodious Diva " and " Elegy the Melodious Diva " to protect your ( Special Summoned ) Melodious monsters from being targeted by card effects and from being destroyed by battle or card effects ; especially with " Sanctuary in the Sky " preventing any battle damage . Any " Melodious " Monsters can be Special Summoned by " Valhalla , Hall of the Fallen " from the hand , " 1st Movement Solo " from the Main Deck , from the Graveyard with " Soul Charge " , or simply by Pendulum Summoning ( " Magician s " can Pendulum between 2 - 7 ) . " Transmodify " can help Summon the higher - Leveled " Melodious " Main Deck monsters . Using " Tethys , Goddess of Light " or the , risky but rewarding , " Star Seraph " archetype will give a major boost to hand advantage , while " Shining Angel " and " Nova Summoner " can help Special Summon " Sonata the Melodious Diva " from the Main Deck and as an alternative method to use her effect when you control other " Melodious " monster . " Athena " can be used to inflict damage , while sending " Mozarta the Melodious Maestra " to the Graveyard in order to reuse her effect . " 1st Movement Solo " and " Transmodify " can Special Summon " Aria the Melodious Diva " and " Elegy the Melodious Diva " , respectively . " Celestial Transformation " Relay Soul " is another interesting card that can be used to Special Summon " Elegy the Melodious Diva " or " Aria the Melodious Diva " from the hand , preventing damage received . While the destruction of the Special Summoned monster will make you lose the duel , the combined effects of " Elegy " and " Aria " will prevent the destruction of all " Melodious " monsters . " Herald of Orange Light " can be used for potential negation of any monster effect , protecting from threats like " Nekroz of Trishula " , while also setting up the Graveyard for " Soul Charge " or other similar cards . " Schuberta the Melodious Maestra " can Banish cards from any Graveyard allowing you to prevent your opponent from using cards in the graveyard , It can stop cards such as " Call of the Haunted " , " Soul Charge " , " Electromagnetic Turtle " , etc . " Schuberta " is also a " Melodious Maestra " which can be used to fusion summon " Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir " & " Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir " To easily summon " Bloom Diva " and " Bloom Prima " without the use of " Polymerization " and " Mozarta " or " Shopina " : Summon " Soprano the Melodious Songstress " then special summon " Sonata the Melodious Diva " , activate " Transmodify " and tribute " Sonata " to special summon another " Soprano " from your deck , use the effect of the newly summoned " Soprano " to return " Sonata " to your hand and summon " Sonata " again , Use " Soprano " ' s effect and fuse her with " Sonata " to summon " Schuberta the Melodious Maestra " here you may choose to activate ' Schuberta " s effect or fuse her with the second " Soprano " to summon " Bloom Prima " or " Bloom Diva " depending on the situation . This move is really good if you have " Call of the Haunted " or " Re - Fusion " as it allows you to summon the " Schuberta " you just sent to your Graveyard and use her effect again if you used it . With the release of " Trickstar Foxywitch " , Melodious now have an additional mean to inflict damage to the opponent , as well as summoning Extra Deck monsters through " Trickstar Holly Angel " ( summoned through Foxywitch ' s effect ) , or revive " Foxywitch " in the Main Monster Zone . Weaknesses . The " Melodious " monsters share the notion of Special Summoning as their pre - eminent means of strategy , which thus makes them the perfect target for anti - Special Summoning support like " Archlord Kristya " , " Aurora Paragon " , " Special Hurricane " , " Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo " and " Jowgen the Spiritualist " , of which the latter three can also destroy such Summoned monsters without the protection of " Elegy " ' s effect ( though " Elegy " can protect itself from indiscriminate Nuke rs like " Raigeki Bottle " , " Black Rose Dragon " and " World of Prophecy " ) . More generally , " Reptilianne Servant " , " Narrow Pass " , " Summon Limit " and " Summon Breaker " can also hog their influence on the field . " Melodious " monsters are also LIGHT Fairies , hence giving cards like " Yami " , " Penumbral Soldier Lady " ( who can defeat every monster in the archetype unpowered with her effect alone ) and the " Ally of Justice " and " Koa ' ki Meiru " archetypes a chance to predate on the " Melodious . " , though cards like " Light - Imprisoning mirror " will not affect the majority of the " Melodious " monsters , due to their effects being continuous , and therefore not activating . Finally , their heavy dependence on their effects also make them vulnerable to effect negations , make possible through cards such as " " " Tyrant ' s Tirade " , " Skill Drain " , and " Angel 07 " . " Stellarknight Triverr " can defeat the " Aria " - " Elegy " lock , since " Triverr ' s " effect returns all your cards back to the hand without targeting them . " Madolche Queen Tiaramisu " can shuffle them into the deck without targetting them . " Nekroz of Trishula " can banish them without targeting them , Ice Beast Zerofyne can negate their effects without targeting them , " Book of Eclipse " will negate their effects due to their status of being unnamed while face down , and " The Monarchs Stormforth " will allow your opponent to tribute them without targeting the monsters .
