E



E is a series of Special Summon-only monsters with 1000 ATK and 800 DEF (except " E - Doppel Gunner which has 1800 ATK and 0 DEF) with different attributes and types, mainly based to support Evolute Monster in any way they can. Except Evolute Monsters themselves, the Main Deck monsters usually adopt a certain restriction that keeps them from being generically used in any other decks.

"Evolute" archetype is part of this series.

Appearance:
"E - Doppel Gunner" aside,The "E" monsters striking resemble a reminiscent style of Panty &amp; Stocking with Garterbelt's base animation style ,with equippment that involving Modding based on their effects, while the monsters themselves for the most part look rather generic.

Etymology:
In a similar vein to s, s and s whose refered to be to each in Japanese names (S, X, and P) respectively, the "E" is meant to refer to Evolute Monsters themselves, and not to be confused with "Evolute".

Playstyle:
"E" monsters are meant to be generic support specifically made for Evolue Decks, it's indicated in all Main Deck monsters' Summoning conditions "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned by its own effect. At the start of your Main Phase, if you control no monsters that began the Duel in the Extra Deck other than Evolute Monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand." whereas the second restricition given except in "E - Doppel Gunner" is "Cannot be used as a material for a Summon, except for an Evolute Summon." They have the ability of Level, Attribute, and Level manipulation made solely for Evolute Summoning.
