An A-Counter, known as an A Counter (
Many "Alien" monsters have effects that state that when they battle a monster that has an A-Counter, the monster with the A-Counter loses 300 ATK and DEF during damage calculation only. However, despite this effect being written in parentheses as if it were a reminder, a monster with this effect must be face-up on the field, as it is not an inherent condition for A-Counters. The benefit of this is that the ATK/DEF reduction is cumulative with more monsters that have that effect on the field, as supported by the card rulings for "Alien Grey".
Lore-wise, A-Counters take the form of "Corruption Cell "A"", which resembles a gelatinous blob of flesh with a tubular "mouth" and a tail. "Interplanetary Invader "A"" is also an A-Counter, apparently having evolved legs and the ability to control minds without the need of another "Alien" monster.
