overview

Harpie Ladies is a line of Winged-Beast monsters that identify themselves as "Harpie Lady" when face-up on the field or in the graveyard. It focuses on destroying spells and traps through Harpies Hunting Ground, but also adds returning monsters with Cyber Slash Harpie Lady . Initially, this deck was played as an OTK (One Turn Kill) deck, using cards like Harpie Harpist as well as Harpie's Feather Rest to provide follow-up options. Recently, however, Harpie Oracle was released in the most recent card battle event, which has become another consistent way to generate the next turn. Harpie's consistency with their removal and play options earned them Tier 1 solo status at their peak, and remains a top tire deck today.

Skill

Skill application is also an important part of this deck. Depending on your application, the deck will become more invincible.

Harpies' Hunting Ground (Skill Card) (65% used)

Harpies' Hunting Ground is the other main skill in the selection of both Skills, which can only be obtained through unlocking Mai Valentine. While it is on the field, any normal or special summoned Harpie monster allows the Field Harpies' Hunting Ground card to destroy a spell or trap on the field. This is especially useful in destroying enemy backrows, as well as destroying problematic obstacles such as Poisonous Winds . Furthermore, it can be used for the Harpie player to obtain the Hysteric Sign card, allowing them to add 3 Harpie cards in the End Phase. Finally, the Harpie Oracle can recycle it from the graveyard if needed. The only downside to Harpies' Hunting Ground is that destroying traps and spells is a mandatory effect, so it will need to be destroyed if the Harpie player summons a Harpie monster first. In match formats, Harpies' Hunting Ground is almost always a secondary skill while The Tie that Binds is the primary skill of choice.

The Tie that Binds (75% used)

Tie that Binds is one of the two main choices of the two Skills. Not only does it make OTK easier, but it also allows Cyber Slash Harpie Lady to attack monsters with more than 3000 ATK when Harpie Lady 1 is on the field (usually summoned by Elegant Egotist ). Furthermore, it explicitly allows for monster attacks in mirror battles, as well as other interactions in other matchups. Finally, this Skill is available on many characters, including Yugi Moto , who receives it as a reward at Level 13.

Sealed Tombs (Skill Card) and LP Boost Alpha (Skill Card) (Skills with potential)

As for LP Boost Alpha , using it to extend your LP or give yourself one more turn to survive and rotate is also a useful Skill. Because most decks use this Skill for that purpose.
For Sealed Tombs , you can lock your opponent's grave so they don't summon another nasty monster to lower your LP to 0

Both Skills are very useful for Harpie players if they take the first turn and cannot protect their monsters. Since most decks will play around bringing monsters from the deck to the field, you won't worry too much about whether using Sealed Tombs will affect you.

Core Cards

Duel Links has been providing Harpie support a lot lately. That's why they are one of the top decks in the DL. First of all, the Harpie cards:

Archetype Related

Harpie Perfumer (3x)

Harpie Perfumer is the main searcher of the deck. It allows searching for spells/traps that include “ Harpie Lady Sisters ” in the card text whenever it is normally or special summoned. This usually results in adding either Elegant Egotist or Harpie's Feather Rest , depending on the card in hand (which will be talked about more in the combo section of the guide). Furthermore, if a level 5 or higher Harpie monster was on the field before, the Perfumer can add an additional candidate card provided it is a different name from the first.

Harpie Channeler (3x)

Harpie Channele r is the main summoning card of the deck. It summons a face-up defensive position “Harpie” monster from a deck other than Harpie Channeler itself at the cost of discarding a Harpie card to the grave. This allows for easy combos that are usually Cyber Slash Harpie Lady or XYZ Rank 4, but sometimes even XYZ Rank 7 if the Harpie Channeler summons Harpie's Pet Dragon , as its level changes to 7 when a Dragon face up on the field.

Harpie Lady 1 (1-2x)

Harpie Lady 1 is the main target of the Elegant Egotist . Harpie Lady 1 is the preferred choice as it allows for easier OTK as well as attacking monsters with higher attack power with the skill The Tie that Binds . Because it can be recycled through Harpie's Feather Rest , there is no good incentive to use more than 2 cards, as it does not play a role in the deck's overall card advantage and will likely clog up cards in your hand. Harpie player if playing at 3 cards.

Harpie Oracle (2x)

The addition of Harpie Oracle through the final event has helped Harpie become more consistent overall, as it allows Harpie players to return Spells/Traps including “ Harpie Lady Sisters ” in the End Phase card whenever It can be normal or special summoned. Furthermore, it can be special summoned from the hand if a level 5 or higher Harpie Lady monster is on the field. This restriction is what prevents it from having 3 cards, because it depends on other cards for maximum value.

Harpie Harpist (0-2x)

Harpie Harpist is a card that is often truncated in smaller builds (20-23) due to space issues; however, it is actually played in larger builds (nearly 30). Its less common effect is that when it is normally summoned, it can target a corresponding Winged-Beast-type monster along with a face-up monster and return them to the hand. However, its main effect is that when it is sent to the graveyard by any means, it can add a Winged-Beast with 1500 ATK or less from the deck to the hand in the End Phase. This is usually done through dropping GY it with Harpie Channeler for maximum value. Note that Harpie Harpist must be in the graveyard to activate its effect, and so returning Harpie's Feather Rest to the deck eliminates the opportunity to add a Harpie monster.

Cyber Harpie Lady (0-1x)

Cyber Harpie Lady is another potential target of the Elegant Egotist that is less seen. Cyber Harpie Lady is simply a bag of meat that can sometimes hit monsters that Harpie Lady 1 cannot, most notably against Fire King Level 4 monsters in the current meta as well as the mirror match.

Harpie's Pet Dragon (0-1x)

Harpie's Pet Dragon specifically makes the big build list due to the large number of Number 18: Heraldry Patriarchs summoned to fight Harpies. It is an option to summon Harpie Channeler . Not only does the Harpie's Pet Dragon avoid the destructive effects of not being considered a Harpie Lady, but in tandem with the Channeler, it can defeat even Number 18: Heraldry Patriarch, or more commonly reach Rank 7 XYZ with Harpie Channeler since its level changed to 7 with Harpie's Pet Dragon on the field.

Cyber Slash Harpie Lady (2-3x)

The main ace monster of the Harpies, can be summoned by treating a Harpie Lady as a Tuner monster. Cyber Slash Harpie Lady can return one face-up monster or one face-up Harpie monster on the controller's field to the hand when a spell/trap or spell/trap effect is activated. Furthermore, it allows Harpie's Feather Rest , Harpie Perfumer , and Harpie Oracle to receive maximum benefits since it is a level 5 or higher candidate Harpie monster.

Elegant Egotist (2x)

Elegant Egotist is the main spell that allows Harpies to spread across the field consistently, usually through Harpie Perfumer or Hysteric Sign to add it to the hand. It summons a card called Harpie Lady from the hand or deck. This usually limits special summoning to Harpie Lady 1 and Cyber Harpie Lady , as other played Harpie monsters are only considered “Harpie Lady” on the field or in the GY.

Hysteric Sign (0-3x)

Similar to Harpie Harpist , Hysteric Sign is truncated in smaller builds, but is often maxed out in larger builds. It allows the Harpie player to add an Elegant Egotist from the deck or graveyard to the hand. Furthermore, if it is sent to the graveyard from the hand or field, it allows the Harpie player to add up to 3 Harpie cards with different names from the deck to the hand. Note that Hysteric Sign can only use one of these effects per turn and only once that turn, so destroying it with Harpies' Hunting Ground after adding Elegant Egotist with the first effect will not give adds 3 Harpie cards to the End Phase; Therefore, if someone wants to use the effect for searching, do not use the effect to add Elegant Egotist.

Harpie's Feather Rest (1x)

Harpie's Feather Rest is a " Pot of Avarice " of this line, allowing the Harpie player to target 3 Harpie Lady / Harpie Lady Sisters , shuffle them back into the deck and draw 1 card, or draw 2 cards if the player Control a level 5 or higher Harpie monster on the field. This Las then locks the Harpie player from any special summons involving non-WIND monsters for the rest of the turn. This is important because a non-WIND XYZ monster can be summoned before activating Harpie's Feather Rest, so it's important to take advantage of it whenever possible.

Harpies' Hunting Ground (0-1x)

As mentioned before, the Harpies 'Hunting Ground ability puts the Field Spell Harpies' Hunting Ground on the field, but Harpies 'Hunting Ground itself is often also a necessary element to play in the main deck whenever used the Tie that Binds . It can be easily accessed via Harpie Perfumer in case Elegant Egotist and/or Harpie's Feather Rest are already in hand to deal with the opponent's backrow. It also enhances Winged-Beasts by 200 attack power, allowing easier attacks against monsters with high attack power.

Hysteric Party (0-3x)

Hysteric Party is sometimes played in smaller builds, but is always played in varying amounts in larger builds. It allows the Harpie player to special summon as many Harpie Lady monsters as possible at the cost of discarding a card, but destroys those summoned by its effect when this card leaves the field. Hysteric Party is often used as a last resort if all other plays are stopped, or as an OTK trigger if it's safe to go with it.

Important Non-Archetype Related Cards

If you talk about other cards that are not in the Harpie line, you may be quite surprised, almost more than half of them are Techs that are frequently used in other decks. However, let's see why this is so.

Glife the Phantom Bird (0-1x)

Similar to Harpie's Pet Dragon , Glife the Phantom Bird has recently become more popular with the abundance of Number 18: Heraldry Patriarch being played with Harpies, allowing Harpie players to play around the destructive effect more easily. Not only is Glife the Phantom Bird targeted by Swallow's Nest , but when it is normally or special summoned, it can destroy your opponent's spells/traps. This forces the opponent to use their backrow earlier than they would like, allowing the Harpie player to combo more easily. Its one downside is that other than the Swallow's Nest being able to summon it or use it as a sacrifice, it cannot be searched by any other means.

Swallow's Nest (3x)

Swallow's Nest is the strongest follow-up card that Harpie players can play. It summons a Winged-Beast monster of the same level at the cost of sacrificing a Winged-Beast monster. Since Swallow's Nest is a Quick-Play Spell, it allows the Harpie player to still be able to combo more often than not having to go second because it can be linked to the backrow (preventing the opponent from having multiple backrows to break the combo). . Furthermore, it allows Harpies to continuously combo in cases where their initial hand does not include common starting cards such as Harpie Channeler and Harpie Perfumer . Finally, it allows for a stronger boost for kills 2 onwards in case an attack is broken by a handtrap like Sphere Kuriboh .

Book of Moon (0-3x)

Book of Moon is one of the best general Spells in the meta that is played in varying amounts in both formats. It targets a face-up monster on the field and places it face-down. Similar to Swallow's Nest , Book of Moon is a Quick-Play Spell allowing it to be used both defensively and sometimes, even offensively by playing around problematic threats like Number 18: Heraldry Patriarch .

Forbidden Lance (0-2x)

Forbidden Lance is a Quick-Play Spell that protects monsters from spell/trap effects while losing 800 attack points. This is a versatile card that can both protect your Harpie monster from backrow interruptions, and allow your Harpie monster to attack certain cards with higher attack points. This is ideal for use with Cyber Slash Harpie Lady , as Swallow's Nest cannot protect it, unlike Level 4 Harpie monsters.

Neos Fusion (0 or 2x)

Neos Fusion is an option specifically for larger builds. It summons an Elemental HERO Brave Neos from the extra deck by sending an Elemental HERO Neos and a monster with a level 4 or lower effect from the hand, deck, and/or field to the graveyard, which can allow Harpie players have another option for Number 18: Heraldry Patriarch . Furthermore, sending Harpie Harpist as an effect monster allows the Harpie player to add a Harpie monster to the End Phase. Finally, if Elemental HERO Brave Neos destroys a beast in battle, it can add another copy of Neos Fusion, ideal for discarding as it has another effect that protects Elemental HERO Brave Neos from being damaged. destroyed by battle or card effect at the cost of banishing it from the graveyard.

Treacherous Trap Hole (0 or 2x)

Treacherous Trap Hole is one of the main backrows in smaller builds, but doesn't have much effect in larger builds. It targets 2 monsters on the field and destroys them as long as there are no Trap cards in the graveyard. This card often allows you to quickly win on turn 3/4 in a smaller build.

Karma Cut (0-3x)

Karma Cut is a card that is played in varying amounts in larger builds. It banishes a face-up monster on the field, as well as all other copies of the same name in the graveyard at the cost of discarding a card. In addition to Karma Cut being great against specific matchups in the meta, it is also an outlet for Hysteric Sign or Harpie Harpist , allowing for potential combos on the Harpie player's next turn.

Raigeki Break (0-3x)

Raigeki Break is a card that is played in varying amounts in larger builds. It destroys a card on the field at the cost of discarding a card. Furthermore, similar to Karma Cut , it is also an outlet for Hysteric Sign or Harpie Harpist , allowing for potential combos on the Harpie player's next turn.

Divine Wrath (0-3x)

Divine Wrath is another card that gets played in varying amounts in larger builds. It allows negating monster effects at the cost of discarding a card. Similar to Karma Cut , Divine Wrath provides an escape route for Hysteric Sign or Harpie Harpist , but unlike negative cards like Fiendish Chain , Divine Wrath prevents Swallow's Nest from being chained because the counter trap has spell speed of 3, allowing only Allows the corresponding counter trap to be chained to it.

Ultimate Providence (0-3x)

Similar to Divine Wrath , Ultimate Providence allows the effects of spells, traps, or monsters to be negated at the cost of discarding a card of the same type (corresponding spell, trap, or monster). While its use as an outlet for Hysteric Sign or Harpie Harpist would be more situational, it is sometimes preferred because of the versatility of negating more than just monster effects, and is therefore sometimes played instead of Divine Wrath in larger builds.

Hallowed Life Barrier (0-3x)

Hallowed Life Barrier is a trap card that allows Harpie players to survive OTK battles more easily with Hey, Trunade ! is a major weakness of the deck. It prevents all damage from occurring during the turn at the cost of discarding a card. Furthermore, similar to other discard traps, it is an outlet for Hysteric Sign and Harpie Harpist , allowing for potential follow-up options.

Damage Diet (0-2x)

Damage Diet is a trap card that allows Harpie players to survive OTK battles more easily with Hey, Trunade! is a major weakness of the deck. It halves all damage taken during the turn. Furthermore, it has a second effect that halves the effect damage at the cost of banishing itself. This is especially useful when used with Cyber Slash Harpie Lady , as it allows a card to bounce for free. Unfortunately, Damage Diet's banish effect can only be used during the controlling player's turn, so Cyber Slash Harpie Lady can only return a monster via its effect afterwards and not on your opponent's turn.

Other Tech and Side Deck Cards

Below are some other cards that can be used in the Side Deck or as a Tech in the main deck. Note that the majority of the remaining cards on this list will only play in large builds, as Tech space for small builds is obviously limited and will often play a combination of the Techs listed above.

Combos

A few comments before diving into the Combos:

Any combos that do not involve the entire hand, other than combos that involve using Harpie's Feather Rest do not take into account random cards, so situations will vary depending on what is in the hand. hand (i.e. set any backrow if there is one). Specific extensions that don't warrant Harpie's Feather Rest that are worth mentioning will be talked about after Combo.
Any Combo involving Elegant Egotist can also be done through Hysteric Sign as it can add Elegant Egotism to the hand; however, for the sake of simplicity, we will only mention Elegant Egotist as it is the card that is actually used for combos. Furthermore, Elegant Egotist can summon Cyber Harpie Lady instead of Harpie Lady 1 , but again, only Harpie Lady 1 is mentioned for simplicity's sake as the combo remains the same.
For simplicity, only turn 1 combos will be mentioned. For the turn 2 combo, the main difference is that when the chance to kill appears (i.e. there is at most 1 monster on the opponent's field), add Elegant Egotist instead of Harpie's Feather Rest to Cyber Slash Harpie Lady Can fight back against your opponent's monsters. and attack together with the beast summoned from the Elegant Egotist.

Ability

This section is specifically for those interested in the probabilities of certain hands with general probabilities for decks ranging in size from 20 cards up to 30 cards.

The last word

Harpie Ladies is a dominant force that can only be weakened as other decks are introduced into the game, and nerfs are introduced into the deck. At the moment, this is the most suitable deck available, both for combo potential and for Side Decks with Harpies' Hunting Ground . Furthermore, The Tie that Binds helps dominate matches where Harpies' Hunting Ground lacks strength. Finally, this deck is significantly cheaper than other meta decks, so it is a recommended deck if you want a strong deck for climbing the Ranks.
