'''"Photon"''' (フォトン ''Foton'') is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]]-[[Attribute]] cards used by [[Kite Tenjo]], [[Dextra]] and [[Nistro]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]''. This archetype was first released in ''[[Photon Shockwave]]''. Most of the monsters in this archetype have armored or scaly bodies that emit blue light. The "Photon" archetype is intimately related to the "[[Galaxy]]" archetype and distantly somewhat related to the [[Sparrow Family]], [[Assassin]] and [[Bounzer]].
In physics, a photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. ==Strategy==The goal of a "Photon" Deck is to take [[control]] of the [[field]]. "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" is a good example: its self-[[banish]]ing [[Quick Effect]] allows it to evade [[Trap Card|Traps]] like "[[Dimensional Prison]]" and bypass other card effects. Another example is "[[Photon Leo]]," which can [[shuffle]] cards in your opponent's [[hand]] back into the Deck. This can be a very disruptive effect in numerous situations. Lower-level Level "Photon " monsters have more strategic uses, such as adding different "Photon " [[Monster Card]]s to your hand or even multiplying themselves.
All "Photon" monsters are [[LIGHT]] and as such receive benefits from LIGHT [[support]] cards.
Because several low-level :evel Photons have incongruously high attack powerATK, they often come equipped with some balancing restriction. For example the effect of "[[Photon Crusher]]" is similar to early beatdown favorite "[[Goblin Attack Force]]" and "[[Photon Sabre Tiger]]" loses 800 attack ATK if it's the only "[[Photon Sabre Tiger|Tiger]]" copy of it on your side of the field.
