* FightingIrish or BraveScot: He ''is'' a Warrior, [[CaptainObvious duh]].

* FightingIrish or BraveScot: He ''is'' a Warrior.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long, red hair and is [[{{Bishounen}} ''very'' handsome]].

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long, red hair and is ''very'' handsome.

* OurFairiesAreDifferent/OurAngelsAreDifferent: They're Angel/Fairy type monsters.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The @Ignister Main Deck monsters and the A.I. cards have a silly and unassuming aesthetic, just like their user in the anime. But in the hands of a competent player, these cards can very easily accumulate advantage and bring out several @Ignister boss monsters in a single turn, which can then collectively devastate an established board.

* EvilKnockoff: Given that the archetype is used by Ai as an antagonist, Dark Templar and Linguriboh are this to Yusaku's Decode Talker and Linkuriboh by default.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They're Angel/Fairy type monsters.

* CuteKitten: Amazoness Baby Tiger is a young version of the older one, but while cute, it can potentially be a PintSizedPowerhouse.

* PantheraAwesome: Amazoness Tiger. It gains more power when there are Amazonesses in the Field. This effect shows how loyal the creature is to the Amazonesses.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long, red hair and is very handsome.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Each evolved form of Hunting Hound is 2 Levels higher than the previous form. But the combined form of all its evolutions is a Level 10 DARK monster, rather than a Level 11 EARTH monster.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Lightray Madoor, in several ways. It's a LIGHT attribute Effect Monster, for one. Two, it's one of few monsters (at least ''2'', with Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei) to actually defy the unwritten "rule of 3000", it that it has over 3000 DEF, may be Normal Summoned without Special conditions, and has no negative effects. Third, it, along with Lightray Grepher, are the only two Lightray monsters based on Normal Monsters rather than Effect Monsters.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike its predecessors, T.G. Halberd Cannon/Assault Mode is not 2 levels higher than its base form as the original Halberd Cannon was already level 12.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [=CXyz=] Barian Hope is the last monster of the archetype to be introduced in the anime, and differs from the rest of them in that it can be summoned by Xyz Evolution without a Rank-Up-Magic card, and lacks a base form (though it can be argued that the Number [=C10X=] monsters ''are'' its base forms).

** DishingOutDirt: Kunquery is an EARTH monster.

** MakingASplash: Meluseek and Fijialert are WATER monsters.

* LightIsNotGood: Despite their imposing, alien-like designs, they are all LIGHT Fairy-Type monsters. They are used by Saiou, who is corrupted by the Light of Ruin, both of them serving as the main antagonists of ''GX's'' season 2.

* {{Bishounen}}: Bergamot, Cananga, and Laurier can be easily mistaken for girls.

** Rainbow Overdragon comes with its own issues that compound the ones faced by the original Rainbow Dragon, which it is a SuperMode to, and similarily inhibit its usefulness. To wit, while Overdragon can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by either Fusion Summon or Contact Fusion, both come with their own set of issues. The former method is incredibly resource intensive, as it requires seven Crystal Beasts for Fusion Materials, making pulling it off a daunting challenge. The difficulty in Fusion Summoning this card is partly mitigated with Ultimate Crystal Magic, which can Special Summon this card and treat it as a Fusion Summon, but using it requires the player to run all seven Crystal Beasts. The latter method can only be done if the controller Tributes a Level 10 Ultimate Crystal monster they control, thus not only requiring them to run either Rainbow Dragon or Rainbow Dark Dragon, but also to ''successfully Special Summon it'' first.

* PowerUpLetDown: Rainbow Overdragon is touted as a SuperMode to the original Rainbow Dragon, and contains variants of the latter's effects, without the downside of the controller needing to wait a turn from its Special Summon to use them. However, the card's effects are still comparatively subpar to the ones featured on Rainbow Dragon. Its first effect banishes a Crystal Beast monster from the Graveyard to gain ATK equal to the banished monster's ATK until the end of the turn. The most ATK that can practically be gained from the effect is 1800, if the controller banishes Sapphire Pegasus. But given that Sapphire Pegasus is linchpin in the deck, banishing it is likely not worth the ''temporary'' ATK gain. While banishing Rainbow Dragon, the Zenith Crystal Beast can give Rainbow Overdragon a 3000 ATK boost, it also banishes itself to use one of its effects, and thus may not be avaliable to use for this purpose. In constrast, Rainbow Dragon lets the controller send all Crystal Beast monsters they control to the Graveyard to ''permanently'' gain 1000 ATK for each. Overdragon's second effect lets the controller Tribute it to return all cards on the field to the Deck, but only ''if it was Fusion Summoned'', which ironically, might be the easier way to bring it out, compared to its other Summoning condition of Tributing a Level 10 Ultimate Crystal monster, as Ultimate Crystal Magic assists in that regard. In contrast, Rainbow Dragon can do the same thing at the cost of the controller banishing all Crystal Beast monsters from their Graveyard, making it significantly easier to activate if the controller is willing to wait the requisite turn to be able to use Rainbow Dragon's effects.

* SuperMode: Rainbow Overdragon is this to the original Rainbow Dragon, as it is two Levels higher and can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by Tributing the latter monster on the field.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [=CXyz=] Barian Hope is the last monster of the archetype to be introduced in the anime, and differs from the rest of them in that it can be summoned by Chaos Xyz Change without a Rank-Up-Magic card, and lacks a base form (though it can be argued that the Number [=C10X=] monsters ''are'' its base forms).

* SuperMode: The entire archetype is pretty much comprised of this for their respective base Xyz Monsters.

* LethalJokeCharacter: By itself, the Bamboo Swords equip cards don't provide any point increases. [[Magikarp Power However...]]

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long, red hair and is {{Bishounen very handsome}}.

* LethalJokeCharacter: By itself, the Bamboo Swords equip cards don't provide any point increases. However...

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long, red hair and is very handsome.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification : When combined with Terror-Byte, this archetype makes a reference to a computer virus. When the virus first appears (Summoning one of them), it infects the system (special summoning the rest of them), then it steals data (taking control of opponent monsters with Terror-Byte), and finally sabotages the system (Super Crashbug switching ATK and DEF of monsters).

** Crusadia Link Monsters have Link Arrows that make it easy for the controller to link monsters to them, while Orcust Link Monsters have awkwardly placed diagonally pointed Link Arrows that equally point to the opponent's field. Crusadia Link Monsters focus on ThePowerOfFriendship by gaining ATK equal to that of the monsters linked to them, and encourage the controller to Special Summon monsters to zones they point to by applying effects when that happens. On the other hand, Orcust Link Monsters apply effects that protect themselves from destruction when linked, and return their banished archetype members to the Deck to apply their effects, so the controller can later cheaply send them to the Graveyard again. While Crusadia Link Monsters focus on gaining strength through being linked to the controller's other monsters, Orcust Link Monsters equally take advantage of the opponent monsters being linked to them to do this.

** Cubic Aura can buff the ATK of a Cubic monster other that Vijam, alongside draining an opponent monster's ATK.

* SixthRanger: While not a Burning Abyss monster herself, Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal supports the archetype and can use a Dante monster as a shortcut to summon herself. The Fiending Rhino Warrior also supports the archetype by preventing the destruction of Fiend monsters by card effects, protecting the Burning Abyss Fiends from their self-destruction effects.

* OldHeroNewPals: According to the World Legacy lore, the Crusadia fellowship was formed during a TimeSkip of several years following Ib's HeroicSacrifice and Ningirsu severing ties with Avram and Imduk. In that time, Avram and Imduk [[SheIsAllGrownUp have grown up]] and recruited some survivors whose peoples were devastated by the Mekk-Knights to their cause.

* {{Bishounen}}: Bergamot, Cananga, and Laurier can be easily mistaken for girls.

* SixthRanger: While not a Burning Abyss monster herself, Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal supports the archetype and can use a Dante monster as a shortcut to summon herself.

* TakingTheBullet: Sassy Rookie's Pendulum Effect lets him sacrifice himself to prevent the destruction of an Abyss Actor monster.

** Rainbow Neos is a Fusion Monster that uses Elemental HERO Neos and an Ultimate Crystal monster as Fusion Materials, and ''must'' be Fusion Summoned with those exact Fusion Materials. Running him in the Deck would thus require the inclusion of Neos, a high Leveled Normal Monster, on top of one of the aforementioned monsters, ''and'' a card that with an effect to conduct the Fusion Summon. This creates a high possibility that the player might dead draw any of those cards, as they need to be used together to Summon Rainbow Newos and have little utility on their own. Including Elemental HERO Prisma can alleviate this issue partly, as it can change its own name to match that of one of the requisite Fusion Materials.

* PowerUpLetDown: Rainbow Overdragon is touted as a SuperMode to the original Rainbow Dragon, and contains variants of the latter's effects, without the downside of the controller needing to wait a turn from its Special Summon to use them. However, the card's effects are still comparatively subpar to the ones featured on Rainbow Dragon. Its first effect banishes a Crystal Beast monster from the Graveyard to gain ATK equal to the banished monster's ATK until the end of the turn. The most ATK that can be gained from the effect is 1800, if the controller banishes Sapphire Pegasus. But given that Sapphire Pegasus is linchpin in the deck, banishing it is likely not worth the ''temporary'' ATK gain. In constrast, Rainbow Dragon lets the controller send all Crystal Beast monsters they control to the Graveyard to ''permanently'' gain 1000 ATK for each. Overdragon's second effect lets the controller Tribute it to return all cards on the field to the Deck, but only ''if it was Fusion Summoned'', which ironically, might be the easier way to bring it out, compared to its other Summoning condition of Tributing a Level 10 Ultimate Crystal monster, as Ultimate Crystal Magic assists in that regard. In contrast, Rainbow Dragon can do the same thing at the cost of the controller banishing all Crystal Beast monsters from their Graveyard, making it significantly easier to activate if the controller is willing to wait the requisite turn to be able to use Rainbow Dragon's effects.

** Rainbow Dragon, the Zenith Crystal Beast is a Crystal Beast version of the archetype's boss monster, Rainbow Dragon. It sets up for the Special Summon of an Ultimate Crystal monster by banishing itself as a Continuous Spell Card to Special Summon a Level 4 Crystal Beast from the Deck with its effects negated and add an Ultimate Crystal monster from the Deck to the hand.

* SixthRanger: Crystal Keeper and Crystal Master are a pair of Pendulum Monsters based on Jesse Anderson that support the Crystal Beast and Ultimate Crystal archetypes. As their Pendulum Scales are 2 and 5, respectively, they also allow every Crystal Beast to be Pendulum Summoned for quick field presence.

** Malefic Rainbow Dragon largely averts this trope, as the Crystal Beast archetype being generally dependent on Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins means that it can be splashed into the deck fairly easily. Rainbow Ruins also protects itself from destruction by card effects, which mitigates the shared weakness of Malefic monsters where they destroy themselves if there is no face-up Field Spell Card. As Malefic Rainbow Dragon also prevents the Crystal Beasts from attacking, they can be freely Tributed through the third effect of Rainbow Ruins to protect it from the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards.

* ObviousRulePatch: Members of the archetype in the OCG included the name string "究極宝玉神", which translates to "Ultimate Gem God". The TCG omitted this when translating Rainbow Dragon's card, leaving only the unique portion of its name. This began to cause issues upon the relase of ''Phantom Darkness'', which included Rainbow Dark Dragon and the first support cards for the archetype, which in the OCG used that name string. The TCG elected to continue their approach with translating Rainbow Dark Dragon, omitting the name string again and altering the text of any archetype support to list out Rainbow Dragon and Rainbow Dark Dragon by name rather than their archetype, as the OCG did. This would lead to some rulings questions where Rainbow Neos, a Fusion Monster that used Elemental HERO Neos and a monster from the archetype as Fusion Materials, was concerned. Some players questioned if they could use Fusion Substitute monsters in place of the required dragon, as such monsters could only substitute for Fusion Materials specifically listed by name on the Fusion Monster. Due to the idiosyncrasies of the TCG's translation toward the archetype at the time, this was the case on Rainbow Neos' TCG card. Those players did, however, [[FailedASpotCheck seemingly miss]] a clause in Rainbow Neos' Summoning conditions which stated that it could only be Fusion Summoned with its exact Fusion Materials, disallowing the use of said substitutes. The OCG had no such issue, as Rainbow Neos identified its draconic material in the form of an archetype member rather than by name, as was the TCG's approach. It was not until the release of Rainbow Overdragon and some new and previously unreleased archetype support (creating the possibility of future archetype members and support) did the TCG finally rectify the issue. While the archetype's members' names remained unchanged, their name string was translated as "Ultimate Crystal" and included as an archetype condition on their cards. Previously released support also received erratas to change their text to identify the supported monsters via their archetype string as well.

* SixthRanger: Malefic Rainbow Dragon is a corrupted version of the original Rainbow Dragon, but is not actually a part of the Ultimate Crystal archetype. Rainbow Neos is also not a part of the archetype, but uses Elemental HERO Neos and an Ultimate Crystal monster as Fusion Materials.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long, red hair and is [[Bishounen very handsome]].

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Bergamot has long hair and is a {{Bishounen}}.

* BlowYouAway: Silquitous and Pixiel are WIND monsters.

* CastingAShadow: Primebanshee, Kidolga and Multifaker are all DARK monsters.
* DishingOutDirt: Kunquery is an EARTH monster.

* LightEmUp: Marionetter and Emulelf (when Summoned as a Trap Monster) are both LIGHT monsters.
* MakingASplash: Meluseek is a WATER monster.

* PlayingWithFire: Hexstia is a FIRE monster.
