Super Buddy Bot

 Super Buddy Bot (スーパーバディボット Sūpā Badi Botto) is an archetype of monsters of each Attribute that specialize in swarming and facilitating Excharge Summons. They are used by Dengeki Yuujirou.

They are based on Japanese Super Heroes, particularly franchises like Super Sentai, with their color coded teams of similar looking outfits.

They are connected to both Big Buddy Bot Builder and Volt Burst Excharge Dragon, though there are no direct ties to the former outside of the fact that they're both piloted by the same person.

Design
"Super Buddy Bot" monsters all appear similar to characters from the

Playstyle
The archetype's main game plan is to swarm the field with several small monsters in order to facilitate Excharge Summons while imparting useful lingering buffs onto them. Each monster of the base team has a main effect and an inherited effect given to any Excharge Monster that used it as material.

From that point forward, it's as simple as going for the OTK while your board is packed with several protected & Overclocked monsters. Due to the effect of Big Buddy Bot Builder you can even go in for a little bit of extra damage after it attacked in order to inch yourself that much closer to a win. If that doesn't work, you can take the opportunity to pivot into control based Excharge Monsters, like Fountain of Souls.

The additional EX members of the archetype are all based on facilitating the summons of the non-Excharge Extra Deck monsters, and thus have slightly more narrow application depending on your build.

Weaknesses
The archetype suffers from two main weaknesses: Small Main Deck monsters and Linearity.

Most of the Main Deck monsters have less than 1500 ATK, and the rest hardly peak over 1600. This can lead to the Deck struggling to attack over many common Normal Summons, which could dictate who wins in a grind game. This can be circumvented by using them for Extra Deck plays, but if you cannot access the Extra Deck, or have run out of monsters to go into, you're left with few other options but to hope to draw into an equalizer.

Additionally, you have only a handful of powerful starter cards, so they can becomes obvious targets for cards like and.

The archetype also restricts what you can Special Summon on many of their main play makers. This makes it difficult for the archetype to run many of the generic Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters that other archetypes can use without compromise.
