Armed Dragons are an archetype that was introduced in Soul of the Duelist, with further support in Duelist Pack 2: Chazz Princeton. All of these cards have "Armed Dragon" in their name. Armed Dragons are all dragons, which means dragon support cards are all effective with them. The majority of Armed Dragons are also LV Monsters. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, Chazz Princeton obtains these cards while at North Academy and uses them through many of his appearances. Most of the Armed Dragons are of the WIND Attribute.

The original Armed Dragon Series focused on discarding monster cards to destroy monsters on the field. Depending on the ATK of the monster sent, certain monsters could be destroyed while others were not. Armed Dragon LV10, being the strongest, simply destroys all face-up monsters regardless of their ATK. This series is often considered the lesser of the two LV Dragon series (the other being the Horus the Black Flame Dragon series).

Dark Armed Dragon is the Dark counterpart of Armed Dragon LV7, capabile of destroying multiple cards simply by removing monsters in the Graveyard from play. It is currently one of the most played decktypes, with several variations on the theme, including as Tele-DAD and Dark Armed Return.
