"'''Batteryman'''" ({{Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/EndRuby|電|でん}}{{Ruby|池|ち}} The メン '''Batteryman'Denchimen'' ) is an [[archetype is the first ]] of [[LIGHT]] [[Thunder]] archetype[[Monster Card|monsters]]. Initially, "Batteryman " Decks are were [[OTK]] Decks that focus focused on [[Special Summon]]ing three copies of "[[Batteryman AA]]s and using ". This allowed the player to then use "[[Short Circuit]] " to clear the opponent's field for a and then [[direct attack]] for a minimum of 9000 damage. ==Playing Style==Due to However, following the release of "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" and "[[Batteryman support cards that deal massive destruction capabilities9V]]", many different variants are possible, (such as a "[[Short Circuithunder]], " variant. In ''[[Makiu, the Magical MistYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', [[Batteryman Industrial StrengthDexter]]'s Deck contained at least one member of this archetype, etc.), it is not a concern for your opponent to have a packed field. "[[Batteryman AA (anime)|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 ".==Design==The number shown on the Duel as a result chests of an OTK. "[[Batteryman Micro-CellAA]] is usually used to set up a free Special Summon from the deck", usually "[[Batteryman AA or Batteryman D. AAA]]", "[[Batteryman DC]] 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. " and "[[Batteryman ChargerD]] 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" corresponds their Levels. It This also makes a good attacker, as swarming Batterymen can get its ATK up relates to a max of 3300 with relative easewhat their respective battery sizes are called in Japan. {| class="wikitable"!

Although most of the batterymen are LIGHT atribute "Batteryman" archetype is made up of weak monsters, poweful effects more than make up for it. That way you can catch your opponent of guard if he attacks your "[[Batteryman AA9V]] 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" is the key card of the archetype. Note that Honest's effect can be activated even if you attack so you can easily get rid of an opponent's By [[Stardust DragonSummon]] by attacking him with ing it, any of your Batterymen. A vital "Batteryman" card on this deck is also in the Deck can be [[Inferno Reckless Summonsearch]] which can speed up a lot the proccess of summoning 3 AAs, especially if you have a ed. "[[Short CircuitBatteryman Micro-Cell]] in your hand In " can [[The Shining DarknessSpecial Summon]]any "Batteryman" from the Deck, two more Batterymen were released, [[usually "Batteryman AAA]] 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 [[Batteryman Fuel CellDEF]]monster. Batteryman AAA can be used with "[[Lightwave TuningBatteryman Charger]] to get out a level 8 Synchro Monster, but " is especially one of the most useful for cards in the Special Summon of Batteryman Fuel Cellarchetype, which because it can Special Summon itself a "Batteryman" of any [[Level]] from the hand if you control two Batterymen, and you can tribute a Batteryman to Deck when the player [[Bouncing|bounceNormal Summon]] one of your opponent's it. Through cardslike "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]", allowing you it is easy to bypass anti-destruction effects such as abuse. It also makes a good [[Starlight Roadbeatstick]] and , as [[Stardust Dragonswarm]]. Fuel Cell is also useful because you ing them can also Summon the level 6 monster get its ATK up to a max of 3300 with other relative ease. "[[Batteryman support cards, unlike Industrial Strength. You ]]" is the most powerful "Batteryman" (in terms of its destructive effect and original ATK) because it can also use [[Recycling Batteriesdestroy]] or two cards the opponent [[Quick Chargercontrol]] to add 2 Batteryman monsters to your hand then discard them using s with his effect, simply by [[Hand Destructionbanish]] or ing a [[Card DestructionThunder]] creating a pseudo-monster from the [[Draw EngineGraveyard]] so you can draw 2 cards without losing hand advantage speeding this deck up dramatically. "[[Jain, Lightsworn Paladin Batteryman Fuel Cell]] can also be added for quick attack power to balance out " is one of the deck this can also speed up the deck as you can quickly dump Batterymen into the graveyard the revive them to swarm the field most important "Batteryman" card since they have a lot of graveyard support including most "Batteryman" [[OTK]]s rely on it. "[[Portable Battery PackBatteryman AAA]] and " is also often used in "Batteryman" Decks for quick [[Battery ChargerXyz Summon]]plays. The Since "Batteryman AAA" is a [[WattLIGHT]] archetype (also released in The Shining Darkness) can aid Batteryman decks with lockdown and Synchro supportmonster, as they are Thunder-Type as well. ==Weakness== Like the it allows access to powerful [[LightswornsRank]] and the 4 [[WormsXyz Monster]] monsters, the s like "[[Allies of JusticeStarliege Paladynamo]] pose an 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"[[Constellar Omega]]".  ===Recommended Cardscards==={{Decklist|Recommended cards<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.
