"'''Batteryman'''" ({{Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/EndRuby|電|でん}}{{Ruby|池|ち}} The Batterymen were the first メン ''Denchimen'') is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]] [[Thunder]] archetype. They consist of using swarm tactics and support cards to destroy your opponent's Spell, Trap, and [[Monster cardsCard|monsters]]. IntiallyInitially, "Batteryman decks " Decks were [[OTK decks ]] Decks that focused on [[Special Summoning Summon]]ing three copies of "[[Batteryman AA]] and using ". This allowed the player to then use "[[Short Circuit]] " to clear the opponent's field for and then [[direct attack]] for a minimum of 9000 damage. However, following the release of "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" and "[[Batteryman 9V]]", many different variants are possible, such as a "[[hunder]]" variant.In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', [[Dexter]]'s Deck contained at least one member of this archetype, "[[Batteryman AA (anime)|Batteryman AA]]".==Design==The number shown on the chests of "[[Batteryman AA]]", "[[Batteryman AAA]]", "[[Batteryman C]]" and "[[Batteryman D]]" corresponds their Levels. This also relates to what their respective battery sizes are called in Japan.{| class="wikitable"! Batteryman !!

Although most of the "Batteryman" archetype is made up of weak monsters, poweful effects more than make up for it. "[[Batteryman AA9V]] " is the main key card in a batteryman deck because getting three of the archetype. By [[Summon]]ing it out means three 3000 ATK beatsticks which , any "Batteryman" card in the Deck can potentially end the gamebe [[search]]ed. "[[Batteryman Micro -Cell]] " can be set to set up a free summon [[Special Summon]] any "Batteryman" from the deckDeck, usually AA or D. "Batteryman 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 [[Batteryman DDEF]] is useful because it can protect your other Batterymen with a high defense that most all level 4 monsters can't get throughmonster. "[[Batteryman Charger]] " is one of the most useful monsters cards in the archetype, because you it can summon Special Summon a "Batteryman " of any level [[Level]] from your deck the Deck when you normal summon the player [[Normal Summon]]s it. Through cards like "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]", it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good attacker[[beatstick]], as swarming batterymen [[swarm]]ing them can get its ATK up to 2700 and higher a max of 3300 with relative ease. "[[Batteryman Industrial StrenthStrength]] " is the most powerful "Batteryman, " (in terms of its destructive effect and original ATK) because it can [[destroy]] two cards the opponent [[control]]s with an incredibly powerful destruction his effect , simply by simply removing one Batteryman [[banish]]ing a [[Thunder]] monster from the [[Graveyard]]. Another "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" is one of the most important "Batteryman" card many since most "Batteryman" [[OTK]]s rely on it. "[[Batteryman decks use AAA]]" is also often used in "Batteryman" Decks for quick [[Super-Electromagnetic Voltech DragonXyz Summon]], because with one plays. Since "Batteryman tribute it could be AAA" is a ''3400 attacker''[[LIGHT]] monster, or a 2400 creature immune it allows access to Spells and Traps. In the Shining Darkness, two new monsters are released, powerful [[Rank]] 4 [[Xyz Monster]]s like "[[Batteryman AAAStarliege Paladynamo]] " and "[[Batteryman Fuel CellConstellar Omega]]". ===Recommended Cardscards==={{Decklist|Recommended cards<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

"[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]" can help too.* Mass-removal cards like "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Dark Hole]]", "[[Mirror Force]]" and even "[[Doom Donuts]]" have the power to shut down "Batteryman" monsters, destroying all of them before they can [[attack]] and potentially [[OTK]]. In addition, cards that [[banish]] and cards that hinder [[Special Summon]]ing from the [[Graveyard]] or [[Deck]] will pose a threat to them, such as "[[Dimension Shifter]]" or "[[Royal Prison]]". Also, "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]", "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]", and "[[Kotodama]]" can be more effective for greatly hindering "Batteryman" Decks, especially OTK builds.{{Archseries navbox}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox (OCG Structures)}}[[Category:ArchetypeTCG and OCG archetypes]]
