Teneflare

The Teneflare Archetype consists of FIRE monsters of various Types, such as Insect, Fish or Beast. The name Teneflare comes from the Latin word Tenebris, which means Dark and Flare. It is one of Never_this_agains Duel Terminal Archetypes.

Playing Style
The Teneflare monsters have mostly high ATK, but all except Teneflare Vulcano share the effect of not inflicting Battle Damage to the opponent, what, however, can be bypassed using Melting Assault.

But the main strategie of the Teneflare Archetype is a mill tactic. Using the Archetypes Field Spell Melting Hills, cards that are send to the graveyard can be banished instead to make it more difficult for the opponent to bring the cards back. The Archetypes strongest monsters are Ritual Monsters, which can only be summoned using Melting Rite Of Growing Up.

Duel Terminal Storyline
In the Duel Terminal World, long before the or  tribe arrived, the Teneflare Tribe was living in the land that was later to be conquered by the s. They had loose alliances with the two other known tribes in the land, the peachful Treebound tribe and the formal Below Zero tribe. It was a peaceful time, no one had ever heard from something like war, because all three tribes had their own land and no reason to attack the other.

The Teneflare tribe was living in a Godstate, obeying their God Teneflare Vulcano. They had a tough order in their tribe, everyone had to go through an old ritual in order to become fully accepted members of the tribe, but only three out of five survived this rite. That was why the other tribes thought of the Teneflare Tribe as primitive.

Shortly before the Boiling tribe invaded the city of the Below Zero tribe, a young member of the Treebound tribe came to the Melting Hills, searching for Adventure. Althrough he was greeted with hospitality from the FIRE tribe, his desires for adventure finally led him to kill the youngest member of the Teneflare tribe just to test his strengh. The others were outraged by this, killing the young Tree and sending an army to the Treebound tribes forest, in order to extinguish the whole tribe that something like that never happens again. However, they were mostly unable to break through the defense of the Treebound tribe when they finally decided to fight back, the Army of the Teneflares had to give up everything they were fight back with massive powers, fighting their way through the old forest.

When the Armys of the Teneflares and the Boilings clashed at the Treebounds Hometree with the Leftovers of the Below Zero Tribe, it was the greatest war that their world has seen until now. But this last battle made something that was sleeping in the deep of their world angry and First Ruler, Elemental Eraser appeared to clear the world from the fighting tribes, waiting for a true peaceful time to come to the Duel Terminal World.
