Super Quant " Super Quant " ( " Chōryō " ) is an archetype debuting in " " . The archetype contains two sub - archetypes , " Super Quantum " , and " Super Quantal Mech Beast " . Design . The " Super Quant " archetype is based on the " " / " " series . The Main Deck monsters are based on the Rangers , while the Xyz Monster s are based on the Zords , the giant robots they pilot . Etymology . The name of this archetype is a word play . While 超量 is not a Japanese word itself ( the kanji individually mean " super " / " over - " and " amount " ) , it is the Chinese word for " excess " , and is the Chinese name for Xyz Monster s . Furthermore , with the Main Deck monsters called " Layers " , the names of the archetype ' s cards can also imply a play on " Over Layer ( s ) " - or , more precisely , a reference to Overlay . So , the Japanese kanji may make a reference to how this archetype is centered about colossal robots , while the Chinese meaning seems to make a play with " Xyz " / " Overlay " . Playing style . The " Super Quant " archetype ' s main goal is to rapidly Xyz Summon its Xyz Monsters and then use their effects to disrupt the opponent ' s field and strategies , as well as attack with overwhelming force . The archetype also focuses on the use of its Main Deck monsters as an easy way to search out its resources from the Deck or recycle them from the Graveyard , enabling repetitive looping of Xyz Summons to further field advantage . The archetype ' s Main Deck monsters are largely comprised of the " Super Quantum " sub - archetype , whose members each have a different Attribute and a different Level from 3 to 5 . Each member also possesses two unique effects , with each member ' s unique effects focusing on a different location , be it the Deck , hand , or Graveyard . The first unique effect activates if the card is Normal or Special Summoned , while the second unique effect activates if the card is sent to the Graveyard , allowing it to trigger should they be attached to an Xyz Monster that left the field , or through the act of detaching them while they are currently Xyz Materials . In particular , the unique effects of " Super Quantum Blue Layer " focus on the Deck , either through searching it for a " Super Quant " card to add to the hand or returning " Super Quant " cards from the Graveyard to it , enabling the archetype to continually cycle through its resources . The unique effects of " Super Quantum Green Layer " focus on the hand , either through Special Summoning monsters from it or letting the controller draw a card by discarding a " Super Quant " card , triggering the second unique effect of the discarded card if it is a " Super Quantum " monster . The unique effects of " Super Quantum Red Layer " focus on the Graveyard , either by adding a " Super Quant " card from the Graceyard to the hand or by Special Summoning a " Super Quant " monster from the Graveyard , allowing the controller to recoup cards that may have been discarded with the effects of " Green Layer " or " Super Quantal Mech Ship Magnacarrier " . Additionally , " Red Layer " also possesses a Summoning condition that allows it to be Special Summoned if the controller controls no monsters , allowing all monsters in the sub - archetype to be easily Summoned in order to commence the archetype ' s combos . " Super Quantal Fairy Alphan " helps to ease a potential disadvantage with the archetype ' s Main Deck monsters all being comprised of different Levels , as its first effect allows the controller to target a " Super Quant " monster they control and have the Levels of all other " Super Quant " monsters on their field change to match that of the target , allowing for a convenient way to conventionally Xyz Summon with two Xyz Materials , should the controller not wish to use , or be unable to use , the effect of " Magnacarrier " to Xyz Summon with a single Xyz Material . " Alphan " also plays a major role in initiating the archetype ' s ability to amass advantage , as its second effect allows the controller to Tribute it as a cost to reveal 3 " Super Quant " monsters with different names from the Deck and have the opponent randomly pick one to be Special Summoned , with the other 2 being sent to the Graveyard . This enables the controller to activate up to 3 " Super Quantum " monster effects simultaneously , enabling a rapid gain of resources for the controller . The archetype ' s Xyz Monsters are largely comprised of the " Super Quantal Mech Beast " sub - archetype , which all have different Ranks and Attributes that match the Levels and Attributes of the " Super Quantum " monsters . The " Super Quantal Mech Beast " monsters also possess a few threads of commonality , first of which is an inability to attack if no Xyz Materials are attached to them . They also possess a unique detaching effect that focuses on field disruption , which can also be activated on the opponent ' s turn if the " Super Quantum " monster with a matching Level and the same Attribute is attached to the Xyz Monster . Finally , they all have a common effect whereby the controller can attach a " Super Quantum " monster from their hand or field to the Xyz Monster , allowing for easy replenishment of Xyz Materials should the monsters be Special Summoned in a manner other than by Xyz Summon , and providing and another avenue by which to use the Graveyard activating effects of the " Super Quantum " monsters . The archetype ' s boss monster , " Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus " , supports the " Super Quantal Mech Beast " archetype by allowing the controller the ability to Special Summon 3 monsters with different names of that archetype from their Graveyard should " Great Magnus " itself be sent to the Graveyard . " Great Magnus " also has a series of effects that are applied based on the number of Xyz Materials with different names that are attached to it , all of which are designed to obstruct the opponent in a vein similar to the unique effects of the " Super Quantal Mech Beast " monsters . If it has 2 or more , it can detach an Xyz Material as a cost to shuffle a card on the field into the Deck . Having 4 or more renders " Great Magnus " unaffected by card effects that are not " Super Quant " effects . Finally , if " Great Magnus " has 6 or more such Xyz Materials , it prohibits the opponent from adding cards from their Deck to their hand via card effects .
