If the same situation is reversed, where the ATK is lower than or equal to the opponent's monster's DEF, both monsters remain on the field, but the controller of the attacking monster takes Battle Damage equal to the difference between the ATK and DEF values.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon
A card, with the DEF visible in the lower-right corner ("Blue-Eyes White Dragon")

DEF, short for Defense Points[Notes 1] (Japanese: 守（しゅ）備（び）力（りょく） Shubiryoku, lit. "Defense Power"),[Notes 2] is one of the two primary stats of monsters in Duel Monsters (including the TCG/OCG) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, alongside ATK. When a Defense Position monster is attacked, its DEF is used during damage calculation.

Link Monsters, and Maximum Monsters in Maximum Mode, do not have DEF and cannot be changed to Defense Position.

Card layout[edit]

In the Series 1 and 2 layouts (only ever used in Japan), the DEF of a Monster Card is displayed in the lower of the ATK/DEF boxes, located in the lower-right corner of the card, to the right of the card text box.

From the Series 3 layout onward, the DEF of Monster Cards is displayed in the lower right corner of the card text box below a horizontal line, to the right of its ATK.

Gauges[edit]

The following gauges are displayed to keep track of DEF in the anime.

Trivia[edit]

  • The highest original DEF outside the anime or manga is 5000.
  • The highest printed value of an DEF increase effect belongs to "Number iC1000: Numeronius Numeronia", which gains 100,000 DEF.
    • However, the 100,000 DEF are effect-related.
