Welcome to Doremichord Solfachord, a pendulum archetype with simple but equally interesting gameplay
Solfachord is suitable for everyone because this deck is suitable for new players who want to learn about pendulum without being overwhelmed by the complexity of scale effects.
So what is Solfachord?
Solfachords are "Musical fairies" that have levels and scales corresponding to them in reverse order. The main theme of this archetype is taken directly from the musical term called Solfège. This musical sequence starts from Do-Re-Mi... and then returns to Do to complete the cycle.
( One thing that can't be mentioned is that the Art of the archetype is so beautiful: v the waifu range from loli to adult is one of the reasons you should play this deck!! )

At the beginning of the Duel, add Pendulum Zones to your field. The following effect can be used once per Duel. Select 1 Pendulum Monster you control and place it in your Pendulum Zone. Then, select 1 Pendulum Monster in your Deck with the same original Type as that monster, but with a different original name, and place it in your Pendulum Zone. Then, negate both cards' effects until the end of the turn. The turn you activate this Skill, you can only Special Summon from your Extra Deck once, except for Pendulum Summons. This Skill can only be used/applied if, at the start of the Duel, at least half of the cards in your Deck (excluding Extra Deck) are Pendulum Monsters with the same Type.
National skill for pendulum decks, giving you 2 more pendulum zone slots. In addition, it also has the ability to help us pendulum summon extremely quickly by setting scale 1 on the field and 1 from the deck.
However, please note its limitations, it has a few minor side effects such as: the extra word can only be summoned once during the skill activation turn (except pendulum summon), and can only be activated once. Works when 1/2 of the deck is a pendulum monster of the same type
Solvachord pendulum monster
Each Solfachord pendulum monster has a main effect that requires no specific conditions and a secondary effect that relies on Solfachord's Scale to activate their effect.
DoSolfachord Cutia (x3)
DoSolfachord Cutia
ATK:
100
DEF:
400
[ Pendulum Effect ] Pendulum Summons of your "Solfachord" Pendulum Monsters cannot be negated. [ Monster Effect ] While you have an even Pendulum Scale in your Pendulum Zone, "Solfachord" Pendulum Monsters you control gain ATK equal to 100 x their own Pendulum Scale. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand, except "DoSolfachord Cutia". You can only use this effect of "DoSolfachord Cutia" once per turn.
Cutia is the main starter for all of Solfachord's combos in Duel Links. By Normal summon or Special summon , we can add: LaSolfachord Angelia , SolSolfachord Gracia to prepare after pendulum summon, DoSolfachord Coolia because of its small scale, or even ReSolfachord Dreamia to extra summon more meat (However, this card Not often used in duel links because we simply don't have enough slots for it :v)
DoSolfachord Coolia (x1)
DoSolfachord Coolia
ATK:
2700
DEF:
2500
[ Pendulum Effect ] Your opponent cannot activate a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, when your "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster(s) is Pendulum Summoned. [ Monster Effect ] You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 2 Pendulum Monsters. You can only use each of the following effects of "DoSolfachord Coolia" once per turn. You can target 1 face-up card your opponent controls, or up to 2 cards if you have an odd Pendulum Scale in your Pendulum Zone; negate its effects until the end of your opponent's turn. When an effect of a monster on the field is activated, with an equal or lower ATK than the highest Pendulum Scale in your Pendulum Zone x 300: You can destroy that monster.
This is the main boss and also one of our most useful cards that has the effect of destroying the enemy. Normally, we will need Cutia to maximize the effect of this card.
Coolia 's negate effect is sometimes useful, sometimes not. Simply because it is not a quick effect, most of the time it will be used to negate continous spells/traps and sometimes can also be a monster effect.
FaSolfachord Fancia (x2-3)

[ Pendulum Effect ] Pendulum Summons of your "Solfachord" Pendulum Monsters cannot be negated.

This can be considered the second most important piece to summon in the pile of Solfachord monsters. The most notable ability of the card is the ability to search Solfachord Spell/Trap
The second effect of this card is also quite useful in battle.

These are two rarely used cards in the Solfachord Duel Links deck
- Although Dreamia is a card that has the ability to self-summon very simply and has the effect of protecting other Solfachords, it is not suitable for the gameplay in Duel Links when this deck cannot combo for long and is also more than enough for the monster slot. on the field
- Eliteia simply returns 1 spell/trap, not enough to prove that it deserves 1/20 slot in the deck.
Spell/Trap
Solfachord Harmonia (x1)
Solfachord Harmonia
You can activate 1 of these effects; ● Add 1 face-up "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand. ● Increase the Pendulum Scale of 1 "Solfachord" card in your Pendulum Zone by its Level this turn. ● If you control "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster Cards with at least 3 different even Pendulum Scales or at least 3 different odd Pendulum Scales, destroy 1 card your opponent controls. You can only use each effect of "Solfachord Harmonia" once per turn.
Harmonia can add, increase the scale of Solfachords during the turn, and destroy 1 card on the field. It is very useful and helps our Hand, but drawing too many of these cards is a bad point so we only x1 (we can take advantage of Gracia 's Search ability). We will leave slots for other supports besides the Solfachord archetype
Solfachord Elegance (x3)
Solfachord Elegance
Activate 1 of these effects; ● Place 1 "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster from your Deck in your Pendulum Zone. ● Add 1 "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster from your hand to your Extra Deck face-up, then, place 2 "Solfachord" Pendulum Monsters, 1 odd and 1 even Pendulum Scale, from your Deck in your Pendulum Zones. ● Add 2 cards, 1 odd and 1 even Pendulum Scale, from your Pendulum Zones to the Extra Deck face-up, and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 "Solfachord Elegance" per turn.
This is one of the best single Pendulum Scale searchers in the game, because the limit is not too difficult after activating, we will usually take scale 1 and 8.
Solfachord Musica (x1)
Solfachord Musica
Activate 1 of these effects, based on the Pendulum Scales of "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster Cards you control; ● Odd: Special Summon 1 face-up "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster with an odd Pendulum Scale from your Extra Deck. ● Even: Special Summon 1 face-up "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster with an even Pendulum Scale from your Extra Deck. ● Even and Odd: Target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy it. You can only activate 1 "Solfachord Musica" per turn.
This will be the card that we often search through Gracia when entering the first turn. Its ability is to summon a face-up Solfachord in the extra deck, but this is usually not its main purpose.
The main purpose of this card is the third effect, allowing us to destroy an opponent's immediately.
Staple
Lost Wind
Target 1 face-up Special Summoned monster on the field; negate its effects, also its original ATK is halved. If a monster is Special Summoned from your opponent's Extra Deck, while this card is in your GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Set this card, but banish it when it leaves the field.

2 Pendulum Monsters During your Main Phase: You can add 1 Pendulum Monster from your hand to the Extra Deck face-up, and 1 face-up Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to the hand, as long as one of them has an even Pendulum Scale, and the other has an odd Pendulum Scale. When you Pendulum Summon a "Solfachord" monster(s): You can target 1 of them; add 1 "Solfachord" Pendulum Monster from your Deck to your hand, whose Level equals the Pendulum Scale of that monster. You can only activate each effect of "GranSolfachord Musecia" once per turn.
Our Extra deck monster, but it's not a boss or anything. Its ability simply helps us be more flexible, exchange cards and have an advantage in the number of cards on hand. So many times we will even have to think about summoning this card (2 monsters in exchange for 1900 ATK).
Knightmare Phoenix and Knightmare Unicorn (Knightmare family)

You can only use this effect of "Knightmare Unicorn" once per turn. While any co-linked "Knightmare" monsters are on the field, for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, draw 1 card for each different card name among those co-linked "Knightmare" monsters, instead of drawing just 1 card.
There's nothing more to say about them. Mercenaries are too popular with decks that are not heavy on extra decks with the ability to draw bonuses, destroy backrows, return cards,...
