'''Life Points''' (Japanese: ライフポイント ''Raifu Pointo''), officially shortened to '''LP''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|ＬＰ|ライフポイント}}) since ''[[Super Starter: Space-Time Showdown]]'', are a numeric value in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' [[Duel]]s used to represent the [[wikipedia:Health (gaming)|health]] of a player. If a player loses all their LP, they lose the [[Duel]].
  
−
'''Life Points''' are the "health" left for a player while playing the game. An official duel starts with 8000 Life Points for each player, although sometimes players play with more or less depending on the situation. If the player's Life Points deplete to 0, the player loses. Once a player gets to 0 Life Points, they cannot get lower and have negative Life Points. Other common amounts are 4000 and 2000 Life Points (4000 is the most common amount used in the various [[anime]] series, while 2000 was used during [[Duelist Kingdom]] tournament in the original series), or even 16000, offered in some video games. It is not uncommon for some players to use the unofficial rule of 4000 Life Points for a quick, casual duel. This is sometimes known as a "Half-Duel." In the anime and some video games, there are some conditions where a player cannot lose the duel. One example is if you have two or more cards in your hand, including "[[Infernity Zero]]" (whose effect will let you stay in the game, even though your Life Points are at 0).
+
==Rules==
 +
* Each player begins with 8000 LP.
 +
* LP can be gained through the effects of some cards, such as "[[Solemn Wishes]]".
 +
* LP can be lost by:
 +
** [[Damage]]: Whenever a player takes damage, they lose LP equal to the amount of damage dealt. There are two main forms of damage:
 +
*** [[Battle damage]]: When monsters [[battle]], their stats are compared. If the monster is in [[Attack Position]], their [[ATK]] value is used; if the monster is in [[Defense Position]], their [[DEF]] value is used. If the defending monster is in Attack Position and its ATK is lower, the defending player takes damage equal to the difference. If the defending monster is in Defense Position, the defending player does not take any damage, unless the opponent's monster has an effect to inflict [[piercing]] battle damage. If the attacking monster's ATK is lower than the appropriate value of the defending monster, the attacking player loses LP equal to the difference instead. A monster can also attack a player [[direct attack|directly]]; in that case, the attacking monster's full [[ATK]] value is inflicted as damage to the player.
 +
*** [[Effect damage]]: The effects of some cards, such as "[[Ookazi]]", directly damage a player's LP.
 +
** [[Cost]]: Cards such as "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" require the player to pay LP in order to [[activate]] them. This is not considered to be damage, as the card text does not use the word "damage".
 +
** Effects: A few cards, such as "[[Message in a Bottle]]" and "[[Soul Charge]]", directly state that a player "loses LP". This is neither considered to be damage nor payment. Effects like these are usually [[negative effect|drawbacks]] to otherwise powerful effects to prevent the player from using cards that mitigate costs (such as "[[Spell Economics]]") or prevent damage (such as "[[Rainbow Life]]") to avoid the drawback.
 +
* If a player's LP would be halved to a decimal number, their LP is rounded up to the nearest whole number.
 +
* If a player's LP would drop below 0, they become 0 rather than negative.
 +
* If a player's LP become 0, they [[victory condition|lose]] the [[Duel]].
  
−
Losing Life Points can be caused by the following:
+
==Other media==
−
* One of your [[Attack Position]] monster attacks/is attacked by a monster with a higher [[ATK]], in which case, the difference is dealt to you as Battle Damage.
+
* In manga and anime, in the ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' Basic rules (prior to the [[Battle City]] tournament), players play with 2000 LP. In all other forms of ''Duel Monsters'' from Battle City onward, players start with 4000 LP in both the manga and anime. The sole exception so far is ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]'', where players start with 8000 LP akin to the OCG.
−
* Attacking a [[Defense Position]] monster that has a higher [[DEF]] than the [[ATK]] of the monster you are attacking  with, also considered as [[battle damage]].
+
* In the anime, whenever multiple people Duel a single opponent at once, the single player is sometimes given extra starting LP proportional to the number of their opponents as a handicap. For example, [[Rex Goodwin]] started his Duel against [[Yusei Fudo]], [[Jack Atlas]], and [[Crow Hogan]] with 12000 LP, while each of them started with 4000.
−
* Paying a [[cost]] for a card e.g. "[[Brain Control]]".
+
* Some video games allow players to set the number of LP they begin with, in some cases up to 16000.
−
* Piercing Damage (which is also counted as "Battle Damage") such as : "[[Mad Archfiend]]" or "[[Ancient Gear Golem]]".
+
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM]]'', players begin with a number of {{BAM-Icon|Life Points}} LP equal to the combined Life Point score of the [[Monster Card]]s in their Deck.
−
* Effect Damage [[Spell Cards|Spell]], [[Trap Cards|Trap]], or [[Effect Monster]] effects, such as "[[Ookazi]]".
+
* In the anime and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force]]'' games, some effects allow players to [[Victory condition#Removing or replacing victory conditions|continue playing]] while they have 0 LP, such as "[[Relay Soul (anime)|Relay Soul]]" and "[[Infernity Zero]]".
−
* Getting attacked by a monster directly in a [[direct attack]], in which case, the damage you take is equal to that monster's ATK.
+
* In ''[[Dungeon Dice Monsters]]'', each player's Dungeon Master has 3 LP. Each time it gets attacked, it loses 1 Life Point. A player loses when their Dungeon Master loses all of its LP. These are renamed Heart Points in the anime.
  
 +
==Trivia==
 +
* [[Charlie McCay]], from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime, was the first Duelist to ever have a 6-digit LP score in the anime or manga, at 100,000.
 +
* [[Don Thousand]], also from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime, currently holds the record for the highest LP score seen in the anime or manga, at 102,900.
 +
* [[Yusaku Fujiki]], from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime, was the first Duelist whose LP dropped to a value that had to be rounded up to a whole number, to 13.
 +
* Although Life Points was shortened to "LP", the English dub still has characters refer to them as Life Points.

LP (Life Points)[Notes 2]

Life Points (Japanese: ライフポイント Raifu Pointo), officially shortened to LP (Japanese: ＬＰ（ライフポイント）) since Super Starter: Space-Time Showdown, are a numeric value in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duels used to represent the health of a player. If a player loses all their LP, they lose the Duel.

Rules[edit]

  • Each player begins with 8000 LP.
  • LP can be gained through the effects of some cards, such as "Solemn Wishes".
  • LP can be lost by:
    • Damage: Whenever a player takes damage, they lose LP equal to the amount of damage dealt. There are two main forms of damage:
      • Battle damage: When monsters battle, their stats are compared. If the monster is in Attack Position, their ATK value is used; if the monster is in Defense Position, their DEF value is used. If the defending monster is in Attack Position and its ATK is lower, the defending player takes damage equal to the difference. If the defending monster is in Defense Position, the defending player does not take any damage, unless the opponent's monster has an effect to inflict piercing battle damage. If the attacking monster's ATK is lower than the appropriate value of the defending monster, the attacking player loses LP equal to the difference instead. A monster can also attack a player directly; in that case, the attacking monster's full ATK value is inflicted as damage to the player.
      • Effect damage: The effects of some cards, such as "Ookazi", directly damage a player's LP.
    • Cost: Cards such as "Seven Tools of the Bandit" require the player to pay LP in order to activate them. This is not considered to be damage, as the card text does not use the word "damage".
    • Effects: A few cards, such as "Message in a Bottle" and "Soul Charge", directly state that a player "loses LP". This is neither considered to be damage nor payment. Effects like these are usually drawbacks to otherwise powerful effects to prevent the player from using cards that mitigate costs (such as "Spell Economics") or prevent damage (such as "Rainbow Life") to avoid the drawback.
  • If a player's LP would be halved to a decimal number, their LP is rounded up to the nearest whole number.
  • If a player's LP would drop below 0, they become 0 rather than negative.
  • If a player's LP become 0, they lose the Duel.

Other media[edit]

  • In manga and anime, in the Duel Monsters Basic rules (prior to the Battle City tournament), players play with 2000 LP. In all other forms of Duel Monsters from Battle City onward, players start with 4000 LP in both the manga and anime. The sole exception so far is Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, where players start with 8000 LP akin to the OCG.
  • In the anime, whenever multiple people Duel a single opponent at once, the single player is sometimes given extra starting LP proportional to the number of their opponents as a handicap. For example, Rex Goodwin started his Duel against Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, and Crow Hogan with 12000 LP, while each of them started with 4000.
  • Some video games allow players to set the number of LP they begin with, in some cases up to 16000.
  • In Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM, players begin with a number of Life Points LP equal to the combined Life Point score of the Monster Cards in their Deck.
  • In the anime and Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force games, some effects allow players to continue playing while they have 0 LP, such as "Relay Soul" and "Infernity Zero".
  • In Dungeon Dice Monsters, each player's Dungeon Master has 3 LP. Each time it gets attacked, it loses 1 Life Point. A player loses when their Dungeon Master loses all of its LP. These are renamed Heart Points in the anime.

Trivia[edit]

  • Charlie McCay, from the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime, was the first Duelist to ever have a 6-digit LP score in the anime or manga, at 100,000.
  • Don Thousand, also from the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime, currently holds the record for the highest LP score seen in the anime or manga, at 102,900.
  • Yusaku Fujiki, from the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, was the first Duelist whose LP dropped to a value that had to be rounded up to a whole number, to 13.
  • Although Life Points was shortened to "LP", the English dub still has characters refer to them as Life Points.

Gauges[edit]

The following gauges are displayed to keep track of LP in the anime.

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ As in the OCG, the parentheses here specify what part is sometimes dropped in card text.
  2. ↑ In the TCG, the full form, as shown in parentheses, has become obsolete since Super Starter: Space-Time Showdown
