Though not an official gaming term, Tandem Archetype is a handy term for describing an Archetype that is designed for use alongside another Archetype. While some can be used without their partner Archetype, others are practically useless without them. Examples of Tandem Archetypes include:
- Synchrons - Warriors
- Fluffals - Edge Imps - Frightfurs
- Evil HEROes - Elemental HEROes
- Evil Tuners - Evil Synchros
- Lunedolls - Luneservs
- Solar Powers - Solar Compressors - Solar Reactors
Sub Archetype
A more common term used for an archetype within an archetype is a Sub Archetype.
For example:
- The Fabled are a sub archetype of Fabled.
- XX-Saber are a sub archetype of X-Saber.
- Dragunity Arma are a sub archetype of Dragunity.
