'''Defense Position''' (守備形式, Shubi Keishiki, called '''Defense Mode''' in the anime) is a [[Battle position]] in which a [[Monster Card]] can be either [[face-up]] or [[face-down]], in a Horizontal Position. In this position, the [[DEF]] value is used to represent this card, except where a card effect requires a specific examination of the [[ATK]] value. if the monster has lower attack than the defense of that monster it can;t be destroyed.
In Defense Position, a Monster Card is always in a Horizontal Position. When a monster is [[Set]], it is played in [[face-down]] Defense Position. '''Monsters cannot be [[Normal Summon]]ed in [[face-up]] Defense Position, except by a card effect that allows them to be summoned that way (such as "[[Light of Intervention]]").''' During a battle involving a Defense Position monster, the DEF value of '''that''' monster is used to calculate [[Battle Damage]], rather than the ATK value.
