involved (a link to) Battle Position in the discription
In Defense Position, a [[Monster Cards|Monster Card]] is always in a Horizontal Position. When a monster is "[[Set]]", it is played in [[face-down]] Defense Position. Monsters cannot be [[Normal Summon]]ed in [[face-up]] Defense Position, except by a card effect that allows them to be summoned that way (such as "[[Light of Intervention]]"). During battle between a Defense Postion monster, the [[DEF]] value of '''that''' monster is used to calculate [[Battle Damage]], rather than the [[ATK]] value.
Usually, Defense Position monsters cannot attack, but some monsters such as "[[Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster]] " and "[[Total Defense Shogun]] " have effects that allow them to attack while in Defense Position.
Also, the controller of a Defense Position monster takes no damage if it is destroyed in battle, even if the attacker has higher attack than his monster's defense. If the attacker has lower ATK than the DEF of the attack target, the attacker takes battle damage, but neither monster is destroyed.
