Category:Archetype: Special Field Force

The "Special Field Force" archetype is thematically designed around a military force, in particular an infantry outfit. Its monsters are mostly comprised of Warrior-type monsters of different attributes, but the archetype also includes (or has access to) the odd Psychic, Machine, Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Cyberse-type monster.

The monsters are defined by various degrees of immunity to different kinds of the opponent's cards. When tribute summoned, the level 5+ monsters return the tribute material(s) that is originally a monster card(s) to their hand. They also usually gain the effects of the Special Field Force Warrior-type monsters that are tributed in this way, though some of the non-Warrior-type monsters specifically confer their effects to Special Field Force Warrior-type monsters if tributed.

Many of the normal spell and trap cards of the archetype are "kinetic", relating to the quick destruction and drawing of cards. There are continuous spell and trap cards that support these kinetic spells in various ways, usually by replacing them with a new draw upon use. Some require the control of a Level 7/8 or higher Special Field Force Warrior-type monster to function optimally. This seems to indicate that their levels represent their level of training and/or rank.
