All members of this archetype are Warrior monsters , except for the Beast " Amazoness Baby Tiger " , " Amazoness Pet Liger " and " Amazoness Tiger " . Mai Valentine , Tania , and the Tyler sisters ( Gloria and Grace ) have used " Amazoness " cards in the anime . These monsters are based on the from Greek mythology . Play style . The " Amazoness " monsters have average ATK and effects , and are designed either to weaken the opponent ' s monsters or strengthen themselves . Key cards include " Amazoness Village " , " Amazoness Paladin " , " Amazoness Tiger " , and " Amazoness Queen " . With the additions to the " Amazoness " archetype in " Duelist Revolution " , they have more support for field - flooding and field control . Using " Amazoness Village " , " Amazoness Willpower " , and " Queen ' s Pawn " allows them to swarm the field much faster and more easily . " Amazoness Queen " , " Amazoness Heirloom " , and " Amazoness Scouts " can help keep your " Amazoness " on the field while you increase their ATK with " Amazoness Village " and " Amazoness Fighting Spirit " . While their ATK is often weak for their Level , cards such as " Amazoness Tiger " and " Amazoness Paladin " increase in strength relative to the number of other " Amazoness " on the field . " Amazoness Trainee " increases in strength for every monster she destroys . " Amazoness Queen " protects all " Amazoness " monsters from destruction in battle , while " Amazoness Sage " can destroy one Spell or Trap Card at the end of each attack ; with these two cards alone , a player can defend his or her monsters , while slowly dismantling an opponent ' s back row . " Amazoness Empress " and " Amazoness Pet Liger " act as the boss monsters of the archetype , with " Amazoness Empress " preventing destruction by battle or card effect and giving " Amazoness " monsters piercing damage while " Amazoness Pet Liger " grants ATK reduction abilities to " Amazoness " monsters . " Amazoness Princess " acts as a searcher for the archetype , allowing quick access to the archetypes Spells and Traps upon its summon and allows for the summon of " Amazoness " monsters upon attacking . " Amazoness Baby Tiger " allows for easy swarming , allowing it to be summoned from the hand or graveyard upon the summon of another " Amazoness " monster . Both " Amazoness Princess " and " Amazoness Baby Tiger " also count as " Amazoness Queen " and " Amazoness Tiger " , respectively , whilst on the field or graveyard , allowing the Fusion monsters to be summoned easier . " Amazoness Call " acts as the deck ' s main searcher , allowing for the searching of any " Amazoness " card in the deck . It also allows one " Amazoness " monster to attack every opposing monsters if it is banished from the graveyard . " Amazoness Onslaught " allows for the removal of opponents monsters via banishing , as well as swarming via a special summon once per Battle Phase and another upon its destruction . Strengths . Common build strategies for this archetype include : Weaknesses . Massive field control comes at a cost . Most of Amazoness decks will always have trouble when fighting Decks with a strong focus of nullifying Spell and Trap Cards ( Since many of their Spell / Traps are key points for their survivability , especially " Amazoness Village " ) . Amazoness decks also having a hard time to breakthrough Spells and Traps that can stop their attacks , like " Messenger of Peace " , " Level Limit - Area B " , and " Gravity Bind " . Cards such as " Dust Tornado " , " Mystical Space Typhoon " , " Seven Tools of the Bandit " , and Xyz Monster s can counter such plays . Amazoness decks are also weak against decks that can either : outspeed them completely , like Mermail s and Six Samurai s , or decks that have more control and advantage - grinding quality , such as Prophecy , Gadget s , or even Dark World decks . " Skill Drain " can be problematic to any Amazoness decks , due to most of their monsters are either have Continuous Effects or effects that can only be useful while battling . Over - reliance towards " Amazoness Village " makes this deck hard to maintain . Without it , this deck usually suffers from not having enough resources to maintain field presence , which ( only ) Amazoness Village can provide . To remedy this problem , a player can either add more external support such as " Marauding Captain " and " Warrior Lady of the Wasteland " , add more draw power via " Pot of Duality " , " Reckless Greed " , and / or " Shard of Greed " , or add protection via " Safe Zone " , " Forbidden Lance " , and / or " Fiendish Chain " .
