Ignitar

The "Ignitar" archetype is an archetype of Fire altar monsters used by Paradox in the motion comic Monster Orb: The Unknown Dimension.

This archetype is divided into 2 archetypes:


 * The "Ignitar" archetype
 * The "Zero Point" archetype

Design
The Ignitar monsters are mostly inspired from the design of the "Parasider" archetype, but with some major differences. Following the color "Dark Red", the "Ignitar" monsters are based on fiery themed beasts. While most of the "Tier 0" to "Tier 3" members appear to be based on small average-sized and/or weak animals/beasts, the "Tier 4" and "Tier 5" members are based on the largest and most powerful monsters in mythology.

Playstyle
Most of the "Ignitar" monsters have a "Tier". This "Tier" goes from 0 to 5. "Ignitar" monsters takes advantage of this tier by only letting them be summoned by monsters with the previous tier, and by summoning the next tier by having the following effect:

"Block: Summoned by Tier (X) monsters.

Discard this card from the Field, Summon a Tier (X+1) monster."

Most of the weak "Ignitar" monsters are used as support cards, like "Ignitar - Dirox", which lets you search your "Tier 0" "Ignitar" monsters, or "Ignitar - Gioriak", by letting you search an "Ignitar" or "Zero Point" item card, etc.

The "Ignitar" archetype also have a "Power Share" strategy, where by using the effect of the card "Twisted Hell", you can remove any number of Life and Attack from an "Ignitar" or "Zero Point" monster (At any time during your turn, and any number of time) and give it to another "Ignitar" or "Zero Point" monster. This strategy seems to be created to power up "Zero Point Dragon" when not enough monsters were on the field at the time "Zero Point" had 0 Life and that "Super Effect - Exploding Zero Point" was activated.

Weakness
In Set 1: Elemental Enrichment, the "Ignitar" archetype has a weakness where the only "Tier 2" monster available in that set cannot be summoned in the Regeneration Zone. This is, however, fixed in Set 2: The Light in the Darkness with the secret rare monster "Ignitar - Arotcalp".
