defense change
Also, the controller of a Defense Position monster takes no damage if it is destroyed in battle, even if the attacker has higher ATK than his monster's DEF. Exceptions do exist, as some cards grant the [[piercing]] ability, which lets a monster inflict damage in this way. Examples include monsters such as "[[Spear Dragon]]" and "[[Gaia Soul the Combustible Collective]]", as well as [[Spell]] and [[Trap Cards]] such as "[[Big Bang Shot]]" and "[[Dragon's Rage]]". If the attacker has lower ATK than the DEF of the attack target, the attacker takes Battle Damage, but neither monster is destroyed. If the attacker's ATK is equal to the target's DEF, neither player takes Battle Damage and neither monster is destroyed.
In the various anime, a player is able to Normal Summon their monsters in face-up Defense Position without the aid of card effects. Also, the materialized Monster Cards in face-up Defense Position have their said position illustrated; in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' the monsters will crouch into a defensive pose above an enlarged likeness of the actual card placed in the conventional Defense Position. In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', they become blue-colored. In "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]", the monsters return to simple defensive poses. In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', they glow with a blue aura.A monster in the defence position may change to attack and attack in the same turn
