"'''Batteryman'''" ({{Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/EndRuby|電|でん}}{{Ruby|池|ち}} The Batterymen are 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]]. Initially, "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]]".==Playing StyleDesign==Due 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 support cards that deal massive destruction capabilities, (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 you opponent to have a packed fieldit. "[[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 Strength]] " is the most powerful "Batteryman " (in terms of its destructive effect and original ATK) because he it can destroy two of your opponents cards with his ability simply by removing one [[Thunderdestroy]] from two cards the Graveyard. Another card many Batteryman decks use is opponent [[Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragoncontrol]], because s with one Batteryman tribute it could be a ''3400'' attackerhis effect, or a 2400 creature immune to Spells and Traps that target it. Batterymen monsters work really well with cards that have a cost that discards one card from your hand, so running cards like simply by [[Lightning Vortexbanish]], ing a [[Divine WrathThunder]], [[One for One]], and many others with such a cost would probably help. The reason it helps is because Batterymen swarm a lot monster from the Graveyard ([[Portable Battery PackGraveyard]], . "[[Battery ChargerBatteryman Fuel Cell]], etc.). Not only that, but cards with " is one of the cost that discards one most important "Batteryman" card from the hand could help put Batterymen monsters in the Graveyard in order to charge up since most "Batteryman" [[Batteryman Industrial StrengthOTK]]'s effect (or even his Summoning cost)rely on it. Batterymen support cards that can Special Summon Batterymen from the Graveyard can also help because they can set up an easy tribute for "[[Batteryman ChargerAAA]], or maybe even " is also often used in "Batteryman" Decks for quick [[Batteryman Fuel CellXyz Summon]], in case of plays. Since "Batteryman AAA" is a tight situation. In [[The Shining DarknessLIGHT]]monster, two new monsters are released, it allows access to powerful [[Batteryman AAARank]] and 4 [[Batteryman Fuel CellXyz Monster]]. AAA is pure swarm material and you can use it with s like "[[Lightwave TuningStarliege Paladynamo]] to get out a level 8 Synchro Monster. But the real reason to use it is that it combos perfectly with Fuel Cell. Fuel Cell can special summon itself from the hand if you control two Batterymen, " and you can tribute a Batteryman to "[[Bouncing|bounceConstellar Omega]] one of your opponents ". ===Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Recommended cards, preferably anything with more than 2100 ATK, particularly Synchros<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

Also, "[[Batteryman ChargerDeck Devastation Virus]] is 5", "[[Batteryman Fuel CellKing Tiger Wanghu]] is 6", and "[[Batteryman Industrial StrengthKotodama]] is 8" can be more effective for greatly hindering "Batteryman" Decks, especially OTK builds.{{Archseries navbox}}{{ArchetypeNavboxArchseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{Archseries navbox (OCG Structures)}}[[Category:ArchetypeTCG and OCG archetypes]]
