ATK
,Added structure and did some minor paraphrasing, addition to ATK < DEF (no monster destroyed).
'''ATK''' (Commonly referred to as ''Attack Points'' or even ''Offense Points''), are the points that determine a [[Monster Cards|Monster Card]]'s "strength" when attacking the opponent's [[Monster Cards]].
* If both one ATK values are value is lower than the sameother, both monsters are destroyed (called a the one with the lowest ATK is [[Suicide|Double KOdestroy]]), and no ed. The owner of the destroyed Monster takes damage equal to [[Life Points]] is inflicted on either playerthe difference between the two ATK values, unless a card effect dictates otherwiseprevents [[Battle Damage]].
* If both the ATK and [[DEF]] values are the same, neither monster is both monsters are destroyed (called a [[destroySuicide|Double KO]]ed), and neither player loses no damage to [[Life Points]]is inflicted on either player, unless a card effect dictates otherwise.
* If both the ATK value of the attacking monster and the [[DEF]] value of the attacked one are the same, neither monster is [[destroy]]ed, and neither player loses [[Life Points]]. * If the ATK value of the attacking mosnter is higher than the [[DEF]] value of the attacked one, the [[Defense Position]] monster is destroyed, and no [[Battle Damage]] is taken, unless the attacking player has a [[Piercing]] effect that deals the difference between the ATK and [[DEF]] values as [[Battle Damage]]. * If the ATK value of the attacking monster is lower than the [[DEF]] valueof the attacked one, the difference between the ATK and [[DEF]] values are dealt as [[Battle Damage]] to the attacking playerand neither monster is destroyed.
If the opponent has no Monsters on the field, damage is dealt to the opponent's [[Life Points]] equal to the total ATK value, if the attack is not blocked or disrupted. This is called a [[Direct attack]].
