Well, to be honest, I don't think this deck can do much. However, it is an OTK but F2P deck that is very friendly to newbies or those who are bored and want to experience a newer deck.
The deck's art is relatively beautiful but the effects are a bit dull =))). Welp, anyway I hope you guys still like them, watch this tutorial and feel the pile of effs that make you feel like you're playing YGO in 2008 =))

Oh my god... we finally have a card with the ability to defend itself... in fact this is the only card in this archetype that has the ability to defend itself.

It can be said that this is a pretty good card, while this deck is considered a deck with Archetype focusing on battle, but on the contrary they have quite low atk and this will be an atk buff card, making it easy for you. punch to activate his effect.
War Rock Gactos (x0-x1)
War Rock Gactos
ATK:
1900
DEF:
1900
If an EARTH Warrior monster is Normal Summoned to your field: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is sent from your Monster Zone to your GY by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "War Rock" monster from your hand or Deck. You can only use this effect of "War Rock Gactos" once per turn.
This card is probably much better than Fortia at being an extender, easily summoned from your other monsters, from there we can XYZ or swarm the field a little more.
War Rock Mammud (x0-x1)
War Rock Mammud
ATK:
2000
DEF:
2000
If you control no monsters, or all monsters you control are Warrior monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing.

You can only use this effect of "War Rock Mammud" once per turn.
Although this is not level 4, you will not need to tribute anything to this card so it is considered similar to level 4 while also allowing you to summon some of the Rank 5 monsters we currently have.
Spell/Trap
War Rock Mountain (x3)
War Rock Mountain
When this card is activated: You can add 1 "War Rock" monster from your Deck to your hand.

If your Warrior monster would be destroyed by battle, you can send this card to the GY instead. You can only activate 1 "War Rock Mountain" per turn.
Finally, we have a pretty great spell that carries the entire deck. This field spell is a mile ahead of the heroes' Stratos because it even helps you remove large brick monsters from your hand .
War Rock Dignity (x1)
War Rock Dignity
You must control a "War Rock" monster to activate either of these effects. ● When a monster your opponent controls activates its effect: Negate that effect. ● During the Battle Phase, when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect: Negate that effect. You can only activate 1 "War Rock Dignity" per turn.
This is the only reason I can see why some people might think this deck is a bit competitive compared to other decks.
Mystical Space Typhoon (x2)
Everyone is afraid of backrows interrupting them, so adding a few cards to help us have more ability to resist backrows is not surprising.
Pot of Duality (x1)
This card makes your deck more stable by allowing you to search for tech or get key cards sooner. But remember that you cannot special summon on the turn you use this card, so remember to use it wisely.
Trap makes your opponent rage quit
The traps that reach the top of lettuce are scattered with grapes, both annoying and effective. They make things difficult for our opponents, which we really need because War Rock is quite weak in the defensive department
Each trap has its own discomfort, everyone has probably encountered them and knows their effects, so there's no need to say more :V
Extra deck
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (x1)
Essentially, its effect allows you to deal 2500 damage (its own ATK) if it attacks a monster you have targeted. The advantage is that your opponent's monster's ATK is also lowered, allowing you to attack it with your other weaker monsters.
Number 70: Malevolent Sin (x1)
Number 70: Malevolent Sin
ATK:
2400
DEF:
1200
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it until your opponent's next Standby Phase. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can make this card gain 300 ATK, and if you do, increase its Rank by 3.
Works well against opponents with only 1 monster on the field. Even better if it's an XYZ monster as it will remove all their materials, or if it's a monster say it can't be special summoned in the cardtext.
Number 39: Utopia and Number C39: Utopia Ray (x1 per card)
Number C39: Utopia Ray
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2000
3 Level 4 LIGHT monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Number 39: Utopia" you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; it gains 500 ATK and 1 monster your opponent controls loses 1000 ATK, until the End Phase. You must have 1000 Life Points or less to activate and to resolve this effect.

Quite suitable for Warrior decks like War rock, however ATK is quite small and does not bring too many advantages
Combo
A combat-oriented Deck like War rock really has very few combos to talk about, but I will still point out a few basic gameplay.
1 War rock of any level + Field spell = 1 extra deck monster (Gactos combo)
Number 70: Malevolent Sin
ATK:
2400
DEF:
1200
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it until your opponent's next Standby Phase. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can make this card gain 300 ATK, and if you do, increase its Rank by 3.
War Rock Gactos
ATK:
1900
DEF:
1900
If an EARTH Warrior monster is Normal Summoned to your field: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is sent from your Monster Zone to your GY by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "War Rock" monster from your hand or Deck. You can only use this effect of "War Rock Gactos" once per turn.
War Rock Fortia
ATK:
1700
DEF:
1700
If your EARTH Warrior monster battles, after damage calculation: You can add 1 "War Rock" card from your Deck to your hand, except "War Rock Fortia", then all "War Rock" monsters you currently control gain 200 ATK until the end of your opponent's turn. If this card is sent from your Monster Zone to your GY by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "War Rock" monster from your hand or Deck. You can only use each effect of "War Rock Fortia" once per turn.
War Rock Mountain
When this card is activated: You can add 1 "War Rock" monster from your Deck to your hand. At the start of the Battle Phase, if you control no monsters, or all monsters you control are Warrior monsters: You can Special Summon 1 "War Rock" monster from your hand with a different name than the cards you control. If your Warrior monster would be destroyed by battle, you can send this card to the GY instead. You can only activate 1 "War Rock Mountain" per turn.
Actually, in the popular War rock versions at duel links, Gactos is quite rarely used. But personally, I think Gactos is quite good, helping us easily get xyz rank 4 or Link.
- Activate Mountain, Search 1 war rock level 4. We will search for Gactos if we have another level 4 War rock, or vice versa Search Fortia or Wentos if we already have Gactos in hand
- Normal summon Fortia or Wentos
- Activate Gactos' effect and special summon Gactos on the field
- Summon Number 70 or Dark Rebellion if you have enough ability to kill the enemy or when there are no more war rocks in hand
- (Recommended for stability): we should really summon Heroic or Utopia so we can free summon 1 more war rock from hand to attack or set up the field (if available).

This combo is the most common combo in War Rock, it is not only easy to hit but can also prepare for the next turn:
- Activate Field spell, search metepragon
- Normal summon Fortia
- At the start of the Battle Phase, special summon Meteoragon via the field spell's effect
- Attack, add 1 War rock through Fortia's effect, from here we can search to prepare for the next turn or we can even search for War rock Diginity to ensure safety right in this battle.
