Changes: Alignment (Game Duel)

Latest revision as of 15:58, 11 June 2020

For the same term applied to regular formats, see Alignment.

An Alignment is an indicator exclusive to Upgrade Monsters and Upgrade Cards. The Alignment is located on the far-left side of the card, parallel to the Upgrade Monster's Attribute and, in the case of Upgrade Spell Cards, Spell Card icon. For regular Upgrade Cards, they are located in place of the icon for regular Spell/Trap Cards.

Upgrade Monsters and Upgrade Cards have one of three Alignments: VACCINE, DATA, and VIRUS. The Alignment is essential for determining which Upgrade Monster can be Upgrade Summoned, based on the Alignment of the Upgrade Card used to Upgrade Summon that Upgrade Monster.

VACCINE[]

VACCINE Upgrade Monsters/Cards usually have "heroic" Abilities, usually ones that revolve around protecting one's cards or the player itself, along with resurrecting cards that are either in the Graveyard or are banished.

DATA[]

DATA Upgrade Monsters/Cards usually have "neutral" Abilities. They are a mix of protecting one's monsters to destroying one's monsters and inflicting damage.

VIRUS[]

VIRUS Upgrade Monsters/Cards usually have "villainous" Abilities, mostly "corrupting" one's cards and/or providing significant advantages to the player using them.
