| − | The '''Battle Phase''' (Japanese: バトルフェイズ ''Batorufeizu'') is the [[Phase]] in which [[battle]]s are conducted.

| − | A player entering their Battle Phase is optional after their Main Phase 1 ends, except when [[card effect]]s mandate it. For example, the turn player must enter their Battle Phase if a card effect is forcing a monster(s) they control to attack during that turn,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C] |publisher=UDE |at=Battle Mania |accessdate=25 February 2017 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref> even if another card effect is currently preventing them from attacking, such as a face-up "[[Gravity Bind]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C] |publisher=UDE |at=Berserk Gorilla |accessdate=25 February 2017 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref> If the turn player does not choose to enter their Battle Phase after their Main Phase 1 ends, they must proceed immediately to the [[End Phase]], without entering their [[Main Phase 2]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh!
