"Watt", known as "Elec" (エレキ Ereki) in the OCG, is an archetype of mostly Thunder monsters. It was introduced in The Shining Darkness, and is used by Misaki in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus.
It was the second Thunder archetype, after "Batteryman".
Design[edit]
The in-theme "Watt" monsters are colorful, electrically-themed animals (Main Deck monsters) or mythical creatures (Synchro Monsters).
In Japanese, the themed cards are all based on words that start with the kana キ (ki, also in combinations like キー kī, キャ kya, キュ kyu and キョ kyo), forming a portmanteau where the final ki of the archetype's name Eleki is also the first character of the animal or creature's name.
There are a number of non in-theme "Watt" monsters, those being "Wattkid", "Wattaildragon", "Wattsychic Fighter", and "Wattkinetic Puppeteer".

Playing style[edit]
The "Watt" archetype consists of low ATK LIGHT monsters with effects mostly revolving around attacking and the Battle Phase. "Watts" have effects that activate after attacking directly, being destroyed by your opponent's cards, or just simply battling. These secondary effects can restrict the opponent's ability to activate effects, although many other types of effects also exist. The two main strategies of the Deck are: an aggressive Deck relying on the Level 4 "Watts" to inflict damage through direct attacks, or using a lockdown by assembling two face-up copies of "Watthopper", which prevents the opponent from targeting all "Watt" monsters for attacks and card effects.
Recommended cards[edit]
Weaknesses[edit]
- Archetypes and monsters like the "Ally of Justice" monsters benefit from the many LIGHT monsters "Watts" have.
- King Tiger Wanghu can shut down a "Watt" deck with its effect to destroy monsters Summoned with 1400 ATK or less. Other than the Synchro "Watt" monsters, "Watt" monsters have less than 1400 ATK, so they will be destroyed by his effect.
- Since most "Watts" have effects that revolve around the Battle Phase, cards that prevent attacks, like the Mirror Trap series and "Battle Fader", can easily stop the deck.
- Cards that negate effects, such as "Brain Golem" or "Skill Drain" can leave your "Watt" monsters useless. "Light-Imprisoning Mirror" hurts any Deck centered around LIGHT monsters.
- "Spirit Barrier" prevents your opponent from taking battle damage while they control a monster. Since "Watt" monsters have low ATK, it can be difficult to deal with.
- "Des Counterblow" destroys monsters after they inflict battle damage by attacking directly, so it can destroy some of your key "Watt" monsters.
