An attack target (Japanese: 攻（こう）撃（げき）対（たい）象（しょう） Kōgeki Taishō) is a monster that a player declares an attack against. During an open game state during the Battle Phase, the turn player can declare an attack targeting a monster, causing gameplay to immediately proceed to the Battle Step.

If the number of monsters on the opposing side of the field changes during the Battle Step, a replay occurs.

Some cards and effects restrict the monsters a player can target (such as "Marshmallon Glasses"), mandate that monsters battle (such as "All-Out Attacks"), or conduct battle without a monster being declared an attack target (such as "Confusion Chaff").
