Evol " Evol " ( エヴォル " Evoru " ) is a series of three FIRE sub - archetype s : the Reptile " Evoltile " , the Dinosaur " Evolsaur " , and the Dragon " Evolzar " . " Evoltile " monsters Special Summon " Evolsaur " monsters , which gain a variety of effects when Special Summoned in this way , and " Evolzar " monsters which are Xyz Summon ed by using Dinosaur monsters as Xyz Material s . They are also supported by the " Evo - " series of cards . " Evol " is a toolbox series , similar to " Gladiator Beast " , in that " Evol " monsters gain their effects when they are Special Summoned by other " Evol " monsters . Recommended cards . Because an " Evol " Deck consists of three main archetypes and is a toolbox - type , it is good to use specific searchers in the Deck such as " Evo - Diversity " with the main " Evoltiles " : " " Najasho " , " Casinerio " and " Westlo " . To a lesser extent , " Damage = Reptile " can make use of " Evoltiles " monsters " Pleuro " , " Gephyro " or " Najasho " as needed . " Evoltile Odonto " is also a decent choice to use ; use its effect to Special Summon " Evolsaurs " that are stuck in your hand such as " Vulcano " or " Elias " . This can lead to a quick Xyz Summon , then " Odonto " can be used as Tribute for " Offering to the Snake Deity " , " Evo - Force " , " Evo - Branch " or " Evo - Instant " . Using " Evoltile Lagosucho " is tricky , but can help set up future plays . You can either Normal Summon it and send an " Evolsaur " to the Graveyard , or Set it and flip it next turn to Special Summon an " Evoltile " from your Deck . The former allows any " Vulcano " and " Singularity " plays to be effective even early game , and the latter sets you up for " Evo - Force " or " Evo - Instant " plays with " Najasho " . Using " Evolutionary Bridge " to Special Summon a " Pleuro " or a " Gephyro " from your Graveyard , then forcing your opponent to attack , can let you Summon the more powerful " Cerato " , " Pelta " , " Terias " , " Elias " or " Darwino " from your hand or Graveyard . " Evoltiles " monsters " Westlo " and " Najasho " , with their effects and high DEF help lead to swarming by field . If you Tribute " Najasho " with " Evo - Force " or " Evo - Instant " , you can Special Summon two " Evolsaurs " from your Deck like " Vulcano " or " Elias " to bring more " Evolsaurs " to the field and Xyz Summon " Evolzar Laggia " , " Evolzar Dolkka " or " Evolzar Solda " . Adding a few copies of " Evolsaur Darwino " can bring your Levels of " Evolsaurs " and / or " Evoltiles " up / down to Level 5 so you can bring out " " , which can let you use your effects of " Evolzar s " at least 3 times each , as well as " " to take out monsters that your " Evolzars " can ' t . With both " Volcasaurus " and " " , as well as " Mini - Guts " , which can be used to trigger the effect of " Najasho " , the Deck is also capable of a surprising amount of Burn damage . " Volcasaurus " and " Machu Mech " can be Summoned easily by using " Westlo " to Summon " Darwino " , and using the effect of " Darwino " to increase the Level of " Westlo " to 5 . Alternatively , " " can be used in place of " Machu Mech " to destroy the opponent ' s monster and draw additional cards . There are more builds , one of them being the " Solda " build . The main objective is Summoning " Elias " with " Evoltile Najasho " , " Westlo " , " Odonto " or " Caniserio " . One of the most popular and successful builds is the " Evol Stun " build . Due to the nature of the " Evolzar " effects being able to negate your opponent ' s effects and Summons , " Evol Stun " focuses on using various defensive Spell and Trap Cards to supplement and protect the " Evolzars " . Weaknesses . Despite the motley benefits the " Evol " archetype can contribute for a Duelist , they have their snags that can be taken advantage of . For instance , due to their " Gladiator Beast " - esque toolbox assets , cards like " G . B . Hunter " and " Corridor of Agony " can punish " Evol " monsters Summoned from the Deck and / or interdict this stratagem . In addition , cards like " Narrow Pass " , " Summon Limit " and any anti - Special Summoning support can deadlock " Evol " strategies and effects yielded via Summons and prevent many " Evol " monsters ( especially the " Evolzar " Xyz Monsters ) from taking roost onto the field . It ' s not just the Toolbox assets of this archetype that can be addressed . Most of the " Evoltile " monsters and some of the " Evolsaurs " have less than 1500 ATK , which can be fodder for " Deck Devastation Virus " and " King Tiger Wanghu " . Cards like " Chain Destruction " , " Chain Disappearance " , " Nobleman of Crossout " and " Karma Cut " as well as Defense Position - destroying card effects can also spoil " Evol " gameplay as well as much needed reuse of their abilities . " Evo Singularity " is a useful way around this . Due to this archetypes ' " de facto " FIRE motif , " Water Dragon " and " Umi " can be used to thwart " Evol " offenses .
