Fruits

The Fruits (果物) is an archetype introduced in BS35, and the majority of them were released throughout the GodKing era. The Fruits are Spirits that are based around a wide variety of fruits. All of them are Yellow and part of the Drifting Spirit family. Some of them also possess the ability Mealtiply.
== Play style ==
Fruits are mostly seen in Mealtiply-themed decks, which are their speciality. The main strategy is summoning a Spirit with Mealtiply on the first turn. From the ability the deck will be revealed to summon more cards with Mealtiply, forming a summon chain, until The FruitQueen Mangosteena is summoned, which boosts core for each Spirit summoned through Mealtiply. Although not part of the Fruit archetype, The GourmetFairyPrincess Fromage is often put in the deck for protection and hand increase.
On second turn, the player will summon another Spirit with Mealtiply, then form another summon chain, until The DragonFruitsel Pitajya is revealed and added to hand. From there, the player will then summon Pitajya, and proceed two consecutive double-symboled attacks, followed by a swarm of other Spirits.
This play style was once part of the meta due to its insane speed. When done right, a game can be ended in two turns, reasons being: a board of 10+ Spirits for swarming; opponent doesn't have enough cores for counter; opponent has no effects that can end the turn, and so on.
The summon chain is often unstoppable due to the effect being activated during main step, leaving the opponent no chance of flash-timing. Before the introduction of Zero Counter and promotion of anti-free summon, the chain can be stopped by prohibiting (When Summoned) effects, or set Burst that is activated with the condition [After your opponent activates a Spirit or Brave's (When Summoned) effect] along with an effect that can get rid of Mangosteena.
