Attack Position

Attack Position (called Attack Mode in the anime) is a Battle position in which a Monster Card is face-up in a Vertical Position. In this position, the ATK value is used to represent this card except where a card effect requires a specific examination of the DEF value.

Attack Position monsters should always be face-up. The only time when a face-down Attack Position Monster Card is acceptable is when it is placed that way by the effect of "Darkness Approaches" (However, most players tend to ignore this rule because most players refers face-down Defense Position Monsters as face-down Monsters. Besides, there are no other cards involving face-down Attack Position).
