Design
With the exception of "Borrelcode Dragon" (which has more elements in common with Cyberse monsters rather than "Borrel" Dragon monsters), all "Borrel" monsters have a mechanical appearance, with gun barrels and revolver cylinders built into them, as well as having pieces of metal armor reminiscent of barrel shrouds. The "Borrel" Link Monsters are mostly colored red and dark gray, whereas the non-Link "Borrel" Monsters also have an additional coloring based on their summoning method. Additionally, parts of the names of the non-Link "Borrel" monsters are an abbreviation of their respective summoning method. In addition, each "Borrel" monster has a different wing color (except for the wingless "Borrelcode Dragon"): "Borreload Savage Dragon" and "Borreload Riot Dragon" share the same wing color as "Borreload Dragon", and "Borrelend Dragon" has the wings of multiple "Borrel" monsters.
Playing style
All "Rokket Dragon" monsters share the following two only once per turn effects:
The most basic gameplan of the Deck is to use the "Borrel" (such as "Breechborrel Dragon") and other Link Monsters to target "Rokket" monsters the player controls, which in turn would activate their effects. The effects of Link-4 and higher "Borrel" monsters cannot be chained to, allowing the player to reliably trigger the effects of their "Rokket" monsters without mid-Chain interruptions from the opponent.
Supports from Structure Deck: Rokket Revolt solidifies the Deck's swarming capabilities and their gameplan, which is necessary to Summon their "Borrel" monsters. In particular, "Rokket Tracer" is now the focal point of the Deck, with its effect to Summon more "Rokket" monsters simply by destroying a face-up card the player controls. "Absorouter Dragon" can also Special Summon itself if there's a "Rokket" monster on the player's field, while also searching another "Rokket" when it's sent to the GY by any means. "Quadborrel Dragon" can also destroys a Link Monster on the field (including itself) to revive more "Rokket" monsters from the GY; it is especially powerful when used alongside "Dillingerous Dragon" (which can revive itself when a "Rokket" is Special Summoned to the player's field). "Striker Dragon" searches the all-important "Boot Sector Launch", while it can also recover "Rokket" monster from the GY to be Summoned via "Boot Sector Launch".
Rokket Dragon Link
Though the archetype is designed with the "fire and reload" mechanic (self-destruction effect) in mind, the archetype's ability to swarm DARK Dragon monsters means that the Deck is more optimally, and more popularly, played as a Dragon Link Deck, and is in general one of the most popular and efficient engines within Dragon Link Deck builds. In Dragon Link Decks, the "fire and reload" mechanic is entirely ignored in favor of swarming as many Dragon monsters as possible to perform consistent combos and fill the board with generic boss monsters and disruptions, using generic Dragon support such as the "Guardragon" Link Monsters to swarm the field even further.
With the release of "Bystial" archetype and new "Chaos" support, both of which features focus on DARK monsters and banish-oriented gameplay. Dragon Link Decks can effectively uses both themes to further support the playstyle. With the "Bystials" providing extra consistency boost by searching and/or summoning various easy-to-summon Dragon monsters as well as providing various form of interruption, whereas "Chaos" support aims to exploit both the banishment effect of the "Bystial" and the large number of DARK monsters to further boost the consistency.
