| '''A-Counter''' means "Alien Counter". Certain card effects depend on these to exist on opponent's monsters to work, and when an "[[Alien]]" monster, that specifically states the effect of A-Counters, battles with a monster that has an A-Counter, the monster with the A-Counter loses 300 [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] during [[Damage Calculation]] only. | | '''A-Counter''' means "Alien Counter".

A-Counter means "Alien Counter". Certain card effects depend on these to exist on opponent's monsters to work, and when an "Alien" monster, that specifically states the effect of A-Counters, battles with a monster that has an A-Counter, the monster with the A-Counter loses 300 ATK and DEF during Damage Calculation only.
Note that, due to the ruling on A-Counters, you need a monster that specifically mentions the ATK and DEF decrease on the field to use that effect. However, it's cumulative, allowing for drastic ATK and DEF reduction should multiple monsters on the field mention the ATK and DEF reduction.
Lore wise, A-Counters take the form of Corruption Cell "A", or A-Cells, which resemble a gelatinous blob of flesh with a tubular "mouth" and a tail. Interplanetary Invader "A" is also an A-Counter, apparently having evolved legs and the ability to mind control without the need of another Alien.
