"'''Batteryman'''" ({{Ruby|電|でん}}{{Ruby|池|ち}}メン ''Denchimen'') is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]] [[Thunder]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Initially, "Batteryman" Decks were [[OTK]] Decks that focused on [[Special Summon]]ing three copies of "[[Batteryman AA]]". This allowed the player to then use "[[Short Circuit]]" to clear the opponent's field 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.

Due to Batteryman support cards that deal massive destruction capabilities, ([[Short Circuit]], [[Makiu, the Magical Mist]], [[Batteryman Industrial Strength]], etc.), it is not a concern for your opponent to have a packed field. [[Batteryman AA]] is the main card in a Batteryman deck because getting three of it out means three 3000 ATK beatsticks which can potentially win you the Duel as a result of an OTK. [[Batteryman Micro-Cell]] is usually used to set up a free Special Summon from the deck, usually Batteryman AA or Batteryman D. [[Batteryman D]] is useful because it can protect your other non-Batteryman D Thunder-Type monsters with a high defense that most level 4 monsters can't get through. [[Batteryman Charger]] is one of the more useful, perhaps the most useful, monsters because you can Special Summon a Batteryman of any Level from your Deck when you Normal Summon it. It also makes a good attacker, as swarming Batterymen can get its ATK up to 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 can destroy two of your opponents cards with his effect, simply by removing from play one [[Thunder]]-Type monster from the Graveyard (one very good reason why it is a very good splashable card for [[Watt]] decks). Another card many Batteryman decks use is [[Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon]], because with one Batteryman tribute it could be a ''3400'' attacker, or a 2400 creature immune to Spells and Traps that target it.

Batteryman monsters work well with cards that have a cost that discards one card from your hand, so running cards like [[Lightning Vortex]], [[Divine Wrath]], [[One for One]], and many others with such a cost would help. It helps because Batterymen swarm from the Graveyard (via [[Portable Battery Pack]], [[Battery Charger]], etc.). Not only that, but cards with the cost that discard one card from the hand could help put Batterymen monsters in the Graveyard in order to charge up [[Batteryman Industrial Strength]]'s effect (or even his Summoning Condition). Batterymen support cards that can Special Summon Batterymen from the Graveyard can also help because they can set up an easy tribute for [[Batteryman Charger]], or even [[Batteryman Fuel Cell]], in case of a tight situation.

[[Thunder Dragon]] aids this deck very well because of its ability to thin the deck drastically. It can be used to fuel [[Batteryman Industrial Strength]]'s effect, and can be used as a discard for costs or effects, to keep other crucial cards in the hand.

Running a couple of [[Honest]]s will also be a good idea as all of the batterymen are LIGHT atribute monsters. That way you can catch your opponent of guard if he attacks your [[Batteryman AA]] or any other Battery monster in Attack position with a powerful monster as he will lose his monster, lose life points and your monster gets to stay. Note that Honest's effect can be activated even if you attack so you can easily get rid of an opponent's [[Stardust Dragon]] by attacking him with any of your Batterymen.

In [[The Shining Darkness]], two more Batterymen were released, [[Batteryman AAA]] and [[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]. Batteryman AAA can be used with [[Lightwave Tuning]] to get out a level 8 Synchro Monster, but is especially useful for the Special Summon of Batteryman Fuel Cell, which can Special Summon itself from the hand if you control two Batterymen, and you can tribute a Batteryman to [[Bouncing|bounce]] one of your opponent's cards, allowing you to bypass anti-destruction effects such as [[Starlight Road]] and [[Stardust Dragon]]. Fuel Cell is also useful because you can also Summon the level 6 monster with other Batteryman support cards, unlike Industrial Strength.

Like the [[Lightsworns]] and the [[Worms]] monsters, the [[Allies of Justice]] pose a extreme threat to the Batterymen since they have effects that will negate and destroy them with ease because all of the Batterymen monsters have LIGHT attributes that will be a huge advantage to the Ally of Justice monsters.

The "Batteryman" [[Deck]] has a lot of powerful specific [[support]] cards that have massive destruction capabilities. Although most of the "Batteryman" archetype is made up of weak monsters, poweful effects more than make up for it. "[[Batteryman 9V]]" is the key card of the archetype. By [[Summon]]ing it, any "Batteryman" card in the Deck can be [[search]]ed. "[[Batteryman Micro-Cell]]" can [[Special Summon]] any "Batteryman" from the Deck, usually "Batteryman 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 [[DEF]] monster. "[[Batteryman Charger]]" is one of the most useful cards in the archetype, because it can Special Summon a "Batteryman" of any [[Level]] from the Deck when the player [[Normal Summon]]s it. Through cards like "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]", it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good [[beatstick]], as [[swarm]]ing them can get its ATK up to 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 it can [[destroy]] two cards the opponent [[control]]s with his effect, simply by [[banish]]ing a [[Thunder]] monster from the [[Graveyard]]. "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" is one of the most important "Batteryman" card since most "Batteryman" [[OTK]]s rely on it. "[[Batteryman AAA]]" is also often used in "Batteryman" Decks for quick [[Xyz Summon]] plays. Since "Batteryman AAA" is a [[LIGHT]] monster, it allows access to powerful [[Rank]] 4 [[Xyz Monster]]s like "[[Starliege Paladynamo]]" and "[[Constellar Omega]]".

"Batteryman" (電（でん）池（ち）メン Denchimen) is an archetype of LIGHT Thunder monsters. Initially, "Batteryman" Decks were OTK Decks that focused on Special Summoning three copies of "Batteryman AA". This allowed the player to then use "Short Circuit" to clear the opponent's field 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".

Design[edit]

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.

Batteryman D D battery
Batteryman C C battery
Batteryman AA AA battery
Batteryman AAA AAA battery

Batteryman Charger Battery charger

"Batterymen" with the recycling symbol on their heads are the ones able to be returned from the graveyard by "Recycling Batteries".

Playing style[edit]

The "Batteryman" Deck has a lot of powerful specific support cards that have massive destruction capabilities. Although most of the "Batteryman" archetype is made up of weak monsters, poweful effects more than make up for it. "Batteryman 9V" is the key card of the archetype. By Summoning it, any "Batteryman" card in the Deck can be searched. "Batteryman Micro-Cell" can Special Summon any "Batteryman" from the Deck, usually "Batteryman 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 DEF monster. "Batteryman Charger" is one of the most useful cards in the archetype, because it can Special Summon a "Batteryman" of any Level from the Deck when the player Normal Summons it. Through cards like "The Monarchs Stormforth", it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good beatstick, as swarming them can get its ATK up to 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 it can destroy two cards the opponent controls with his effect, simply by banishing a Thunder monster from the Graveyard. "Batteryman Fuel Cell" is one of the most important "Batteryman" card since most "Batteryman" OTKs rely on it. "Batteryman AAA" is also often used in "Batteryman" Decks for quick Xyz Summon plays. Since "Batteryman AAA" is a LIGHT monster, it allows access to powerful Rank 4 Xyz Monsters like "Starliege Paladynamo" and "Constellar Omega".
