Editing A-Counter

'''A-Counter''' means "Alien Counter". Certain card effects depend on these to exist on opponent's monsters to work, and when an "[[Aliens|Alien]]" monster 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.

-An '''A-Counter''', known as an '''A Counter''' ({{ruby|Ａ|エー}}カウンター ''Ē Kauntā'') in Japanese, short for "Alien Counter", is a type of [[counter]] associated with the "[[Alien]]" archetype. Certain card effects depend on these to exist on opponent's monsters to work.
-Many "Alien" monsters have effects that state that when they battle a monster that has an A-Counter, the monster with the A-Counter loses 300 [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] during [[damage calculation]] only. However, despite this effect being written in parentheses as if it were a reminder, a monster with this effect must be [[face-up]] on the field, as it is not an inherent condition for A-Counters. The benefit of this is that the ATK/DEF reduction is cumulative with more monsters that have that effect on the field, as supported by the [[Card Rulings:Alien Grey|card rulings]] for "[[Alien Grey]]".
