For "Noble Arms" field presence control and GY-blockading, Spell/Trap removal combined with banishing is a way to go.Therefore, beating "Noble Knight" Decks are threefold: denying the "Noble Arms"' field presence, occluding the sending of "Noble" cards to the GY and "Noble Knight" monster removal: for the effects of Noble Knights of the Round Table and "Avalon"). With the exception of "Excaliburn", all of them can re-equip to a "Noble Knight" you control when they are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, so that even if you Special Summon a Extra Deck "Noble Knight", by using materials that were equipped with "Noble Arms", those Spell Cards will re-equip themselves to that new monster.Įfficient cogency of this archetype is the aforementioned almost complete-dependence of both "Noble Knights" being equipped with "Noble Arms" (plus the effect of "Gwenhwyfar") combined with GY presence (e.g. The aforementioned "Noble Arms" are Equip Spell Cards in the shape of swords with a broad variety of effects, that range from offensive effects like destroying cards or giving ATK boost to support/defensive effects like protecting against destruction and targeting effects. The "pure" Level 5 "Noble Knights" can be Special Summoned from the hand and/or Graveyard and also serve to speed up the aforementioned Xyz/Synchro Summons. Once equipped, they gain an effect, and with the exception of "Gwalchavad", all of them become DARK and increase their Level by 1, in order to assist the Xyz Summon of " Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus" or the effect of " Lady of the Lake" to Synchro Summon " Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn". There are also some "Noble Knights" that behave like Gemini monsters, being treated as Normal monsters while they are not equipped with a "Noble Arms" card. The archetype relies on equipping the "Noble Knights" with the "Noble Arms" Spell Cards and take advantage of this, either by searching for more support or simply destroying cards. Sir Agravain, Sir Gaheris, and Sir GarethĬarolingian legends Knights Infernoble Knight Origin Arthurian legends Knights Noble Knight French chevaleresse, Spanish caballera, German Ritterin) of the words for "knight" do occur to some degree, however in this case, they aren't used, to reduce ambiguity and prevent grammatical gender from interfering with the game play. " Noble Knight Joan", despite being female, is referred to as a male in all non-English TCG.However, cards whose names contain feminine and plural variants of archetype names seem to be implicitly considered for membership as with other archetypes. This makes support confusing for a few "Noble Knight" support cards, such as "Noble Knight Brothers", " Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn" and "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights". In Italian, agreement is still applied on "Noble Knight Brothers", "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table", with the plural form being "Nobili Cavalieri".


An ungrammatical plural form is used in Portuguese ("Nobre Cavaleiros"), without making the adjective "Nobre" agree, as shown on "Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and "Noble Knights of the Round Table".Plural forms are never used in French, German and Spanish card names, as shown on " Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights", " Noble Knight Brothers", " Last Chapter of the Noble Knights" and " Noble Knights of the Round Table".However, in other languages there is, which makes the naming of the archetype potentially complicated. There is no agreement on the noun phrase "Noble Knight" in English (the plural form is simply "Noble Knights", with no change reflected on the adjective "Noble").In French, the adjective is placed after the noun in both cases of "Noble Knight" ("Chevalier Noble") and "Noble Arms" ("Armes Nobles"), as "Ignoble Knight" cards are simply named "Chevalier Noble Infâme" (literally "Infamous Noble Knight"). This is to make sure that the support cards work well with "Ignoble Knight" cards which are called "Ignobile Cavaliere", "Inobre Cavaleiro" and "Innoble Caballero" however, in these languages the " Noble Arms" archetype has the adjective after the noun meaning "Arms". In Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, the archetype names are respectively "Nobile Cavaliere", "Nobre Cavaleiro" and "Noble Caballero", with the adjective meaning "Noble" coming before the noun meaning "Knight".
