"'''Batteryman'''" ({{Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/EndRuby|電|でん}}{{Ruby|池|ち}} The Batterymen are the first メン ''Denchimen'') is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]] [[Thunder]] archetype[[Monster Card|monsters]]. Initially, "Batteryman decks are " Decks were [[OTK decks ]] Decks that focus focused on [[Special Summoning Summon]]ing three copies of "[[Batteryman AA]]s and using ". This allowed the player to then use "[[Short Circuit]] " to clear the opponent's field for a and then [[direct attack ]] for a minumum minimum of 9000damage. However, following the release of "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" and "[[Batteryman 9V]]", many different variants are possible, such as a "[[hunder]]" variant.In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', [[Dexter]]'s Deck contained at least one member of this archetype, "[[Batteryman AA (anime)|Batteryman AA]]".==Playing StyleDesign==Due to The number shown on the chests of "[[Batteryman support cards that deal massive destruction capabilitiesAA]]", ("[[Short CircuitBatteryman AAA]]", "[[Batteryman C]]" and "[[Batteryman D]]" corresponds their Levels. This also relates to what their respective battery sizes are called in Japan.{| class="wikitable"! Batteryman !!

"[[Batteryman AA9V]] " is the main key card in a Batteryman deck because getting three of the archetype. By [[Summon]]ing it out means three 3000 ATK beatsticks which , any "Batteryman" card in the Deck can potentially win you the Duel as a result of an OTKbe [[search]]ed. "[[Batteryman Micro-Cell]] is usually used to set up a free " can [[Special Summon ]] any "Batteryman" from the deckDeck, usually "Batteryman AA or Batteryman D. 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 [[Batteryman DDEF]] is useful because it can protect your other non-Batteryman D Thunder-Type monsters with a high defense that most level 4 monsters can't get throughmonster. "[[Batteryman Charger]] " is one of the most useful, perhaps cards in the most usefularchetype, monster because you it can Special Summon a "Batteryman " of any [[Level ]] from your the Deck when you the player [[Normal Summon ]]s it. Through cards like "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]", itis easy to abuse. It also makes a good attacker[[beatstick]], as swarming Batterymen [[swarm]]ing them can get its ATK up to a max of 3300 with relative ease. "[[Batteryman Industrial Strength]] " is the most powerful "Batteryman " (in terms of its destructive effect and original ATK) because he it can [[destroy ]] two of your opponents cards the opponent [[control]]s with his effect, simply by removing from play one [[banish]]ing a [[Thunder]]-Type monster from the Graveyard (one very good reason why it is a very good splashable card for [[WattGraveyard]] decks). Another card many Batteryman decks use is "[[Super-Electromagnetic Voltech DragonBatteryman Fuel Cell]], because with " is one of the most important "Batteryman tribute it could be a ''3400'' attacker, or a 2400 creature immune to Spells and Traps that target it. " card since most "Batteryman monsters work well with cards that have a cost that discards one card from your hand, so running cards like " [[Lightning VortexOTK]], [[Divine Wrath]], [[One for One]], and many others with such a cost would helps rely on it. It helps because Batterymen swarm from the Graveyard (via "[[Portable Battery PackBatteryman AAA]], [[Battery Charger]], etc.). Not only that, but cards with the cost that discard one card from the hand could help put Batterymen monsters " is also often used in the Graveyard in order to charge up [["Batteryman Industrial Strength]]'s effect (or even his Summoning Condition). Batterymen support cards that can Special Summon Batterymen from the Graveyard can also help because they can set up an easy tribute " Decks for quick [[Batteryman ChargerXyz Summon]], or even [[plays. Since "Batteryman Fuel Cell]], in case of AAA" is a tight situation. In [[The Shining DarknessLIGHT]]monster, two more Batterymen are released, it allows access to powerful [[Batteryman AAARank]] and 4 [[Batteryman Fuel CellXyz Monster]]. AAA is pure swarm material and you can use it with s like "[[Lightwave TuningStarliege Paladynamo]] to get out a level 8 Synchro Monster. But the real reason to use it is that it combos perfectly with Fuel Cell. Fuel Cell can Special Summon itself from the hand if you control two Batterymen, " and you can tribute a Batteryman to "[[Bouncing|bounceConstellar Omega]] one of your opponents cards, preferably anything with more than 2100 ATK, particularly Synchros. Fuel Cell is also useful because you can also Summon the level 6 monster with other Batteryman support cards, unlike Industrial Strength. The [[Watt]]-archetype (also released in The Shining Darkness) can aid Batterymen decks with lockdown and Synchro support, as they are Thunder-Type as well. ==A list of all "Batteryman" monster and why they are good/bad in a Batteryman deck.== ===<u>Monsters</u>Recommended cards===*'''Batteryman Micro{{Decklist|Recommended cards<!-Cell''': It has a Flip Effect that lets you Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "Batteryman" monster (besides another Micro-Cell) from your Deck, and if it This is destroyed by battle after being flipped face-up, you get to draw a cardnot an exact Decklist.
