Balkan

The Balkan Archetype are series of EARTH Warrior-type monsters. This archetype has 6 powerful Synchro monsters ranging from Level 5 up to Level 10. These monster can only be Synchro Summoned by using one or more Balkan non-Tuner monster(s) in addition to a Tuner (except Balkan Overlord - Grigorii who needs both Balkan Tuner and non-Tuner Synchro monster).

This archetype is released with the Booster Pack Secrets of Gladiators.

Playing Style
This archetype's main strategy is by utilizing their powerful Synchro monsters. Remember, the Synchro monsters cannot be Synchro Summoned with another non-Tuner monsters outside of this archetype. Make up your strategy to utilize the tuners and the monsters you have. There are several noteworthy monsters in this archetype that can bring victory for you:
 * Balkan Overlord - Grigorii, this card can blow up lots of opponent's cards.
 * Balkan General - Stanislav, if you have another Balkan Synchro monster, you'll get ATK boost.
 * Balkan Captain - Vladimir, you can use this for another Synchro Summon of stronger Balkan Synchros. If Balkan Warrior - Bogdan is already in the Graveyard, you can Synchro Summon Grigorii.
 * Balkan Warrior - Yevhen, easy-to-summon 2300 beater.
 * Balkan Warrior - Niko, a great searcher, although he's Semi-Limited.
