Arachnoid Archetype (21/21)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Arachnoid is an Archetype of Cyberse Level 4 monsters with various Attributes. They focus on giving themselves to your opponent and having various negative effects associated with that or some that boost your own plays, and co-linking/Extra Link. Their general playstyle resolves around using Webworld in combination with your Links to get as many monsters on the field as possible, by giving up your Link Monster. A general play is to use Webworld in combination with Virus Webber and Code Stringer to get them both out and use their search effects, and eventually co-link when Virus Webber returns to your field when you Link Summon Code Stringer. Their name is a portmanteau of Arachnid and Android, and they are based around spiders, the internet and viruses.
