'''Damage calculation''' (Japanese: ダメージ{{ruby|計|けい}}{{ruby|算|さん}} ''Damēji Keisan'') is the process during the [[Damage Step]] of calculating the [[battle damage]] done to [[Life Points]] from an [[attack]] and determining which [[Monster Card|monster(s)]] is to be [[destroyed by battle|destroyed]] (if any).

== Mechanics ==

=== When attacking a monster ===

When a monster attacks another monster, the damage inflicted and the monsters(s) that would be destroyed are calculated based on the following rules:

{| class="wikitable"
|+ {{nowrap|Monster A (attacking monster) attacks Monster B ([[attack target]])}}
! colspan = 2 | If B is in [[Attack Position]]<br/>Compare [[ATK]] of A with ATK of B
|-
! A < B
|
* B inflicts [[battle damage]] to the [[controller]] of A, equal to ''ATK of B - ATK of A''.
* B destroys A.
|-
! A = B
|
* No battle damage is inflicted.
* If:
** ATKs of A and B are not 0: A and B destroy each other.
** ATKs of A and B are 0: no monster is destroyed.
|-
! A > B
|
* A inflicts battle damage to the controller of B, equal to ''ATK of A - ATK of B''.
* A destroys B.
|-
! colspan = 2 | If B is in [[Defense Position]]<br/>Compare ATK of A with [[DEF]] of B
|-
! A < B
|
* B inflicts battle damage to the controller of A, equal to ''DEF of B - ATK of A''.
* No monster is destroyed.
|-
! A = B
|
* No battle damage is inflicted.
* No monster is destroyed.
|-
! A > B
|
* No battle damage is inflicted.
* A destroys B.
|}

=== When direct attacking ===
When a monster performs a [[direct attack]], the attacking monster inflicts battle damage to its opponent equal to its current ATK. If the attacking monster has 0 ATK, it does not inflict battle damage (as opposed to inflicting 0 battle damage).

== Interactions with effects ==
* Card effects can make monsters change their ATK/DEF during damage calculation. (e.g. "[[Cyberdark Edge]]")
* Card effects can make monsters inflict [[piercing]] battle damage; if a monster with piercing attacks a Defense Position monster, and its ATK is higher than the attack target's DEF, then it inflicts battle damage to the attack target's controller, equal to the difference between its ATK and the attack target's DEF.
* Card effects can make monsters [[Applies DEF for damage calculation|apply their DEF]] for damage calculation, even when the situation normally applies the monster's ATK for damage calculation.
