Revenger, Dragruler Phantom and Illusionary Revenger, Mordred Phantom, two members of the "Phantom" Archetype
Archetypes can also be put into two categories, those being "Regular" Archetypes, and "Character" Archetypes. Although they are mostly similar, "Character" archetypes revolve around one card with multiple forms, whereas "Regular" archetypes revolve around a title.
All Archetypes, both Regular and Character, must have support cards that do not share the same card name or title. They may, however, support themselves, such as a G unit form of a Character Archetype requiring a heart card or vanguard of itself as a Grade 3. Ride Chains also may be Character Archetypes.
"Character" Archetypes also became a major focus in Cardfight!! Vanguard G, where the mechanic of Stride and Stride Bonus, as well as in card lores, focused on characters and their accomplishments, gaining support through friends and followers.
List of Archetypes[]
※Note: Some of the archetypes technically have members from multiple clans. However, some of the listings below only mention one clan due to that clan having the archetypal support, or the members from other clans being included due to happenstance. Such listings include "Gaia", "Raging", "Vermillion", etc.
