"'''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.

==Playing Style==
 
−
There are several ways to play Batteryman. The Batteryman Archetype has a lot of powerful specific support cards that have massive destruction capabilities ([[Short Circuit]], [[Makiu, the Magical Mist]], [[Batteryman Industrial Strength]], etc.). 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, not unlike [[Elemental Hero Stratos]]. By summoning Batteryman 9V, any Batteryman card in the deck can be searched. [[Batteryman Micro-Cell]] can special summon any Batteryman monster from the deck, usually Batteryman 9V for additional searching power and a 2000 DEF monster that the opponent will struggle to get over. [[Batteryman Charger]] is one of the most useful cards in the Archetype, because it can Special Summon a Batteryman of any Level from your Deck when you Normal Summon it. Through cards like [[The Monarchs Stormforth]], it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good beat stick, 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 cards the opponent controls with his effect, simply by banishing a [[Thunder]]-Type 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 plays. Since Batteryman AAA is a Light monster, it allows access to powerful Rank 4s like [[Starliege Paladynamo]] and [[Constellar Omega]].

The Batteryman Archetype has a lot of swarming capabilities, and it is easy to turn a Graveyard full of Batteryman into a field full of Batteryman monsters (via [[Portable Battery Pack]], [[Battery Charger]], etc.).
 
−
 
 
−
[[Thunder Seahorse]] aids this deck very well because of its ability to thin the deck and search Batteryman monsters from the deck since most Batteryman monsters have low ATK. It can be easily used to fuel [[Batteryman Industrial Strength]]'s effect.
 
−
 
 
−
Running [[Honest]] will also be a good idea as all of the Batterymen are LIGHT attribute monsters.
 
−
 
 
−
A vital card in a Batteryman deck revolving around Batteryman AA is [[Inferno Reckless Summon]], which can instantly bring out 3 Batteryman AAs.
 
−
 
 
−
You can also use [[Recycling Batteries]] or [[Quick Charger]] to add 2 Batteryman monsters to your hand then discard them using [[Hand Destruction]] or [[Card Destruction]] creating a pseudo-[[Draw Engine]] so you can draw 2 cards without losing hand advantage speeding this deck up dramatically. This works especially well in Hunder variants.
 
−
 
 
−
The [[Watt]] archetype can aid Batteryman decks with lockdown and Synchro support, as they are Thunder-Type as well..
 
−
 
 
−
The best way to deal damage is to summon Batteryman Charger to summon Batteryman 9V, and use Batteryman 9V's effect to search out Batteryman Fuel Cell. Since now you control both Batteryman 9V and Batteryman Charger, you can Special Summon Batteryman Fuel Cell(s) from the hand. This combo is much easier to pull off than summoning 3 Batteryman AA's since it only requires one card.

| [[Batteryman 9-Volt]]
 
−
| The [[searcher]] of the archetype. Can search "[[Batteryman AAA|AAA]]" to make plays during your next turn, or "Industrial Strength" and "Fuel Cell", to Special Summon immediately. Also activates when used with "[[Portable Battery Pack]]" and "[[Battery Charger]]".

−
| [[Batteryman AA]]
 
−
| Can be used with [[Inferno Reckless Summon]] to bring out all 3 at once. This works well with [[Short Circuit]].

<!-- Batteryman C is a subpar card for the Batteryman, and does little to support the archetype. Considering you have to add in 2-3 cards to make this card even good, not counting multiple copies of those cards, it is a waste of a card slot. This is a recommended card list, BAtteryman C should not be recommended.-->
 
−
|-
 
−
| [[Batteryman D]]
 
−
| With 1900 DEF, and an effect which causes it to be the only attack target, Batteryman D is a good choice. However, it can be replaced with Batteryman 9V as Batteryman 9V has 2000 DEF and ATK when summoned.
 
−
|-
 
−
| [[Batteryman Charger]]
 
−

|-
 
−
| [[Honest]]
 
−
| One of the best tech cards in the game, allowing any of your monster to take on any other monster in battle, and win, can be used for a finishing move, or for defending offensively. Can also be used for mind games to prevent foe from attacking.

−
|-
 
−
| [[Mahunder]]/[[Pahunder]]

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

==Playing style==

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]]".

===Weaknesses===
−
==Weaknesses==
+
* "[[Ally of Justice]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]" pose an extreme threat to the "Batteryman" monsters since they have effects that will [[negate]] and [[destroy]] them with ease because all of the "Batteryman" monsters are [[LIGHT]]-[[Attribute]].  "[[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.
−
Like the "[[Lightsworn]]" and "[[Worm]]" monsters, [[Archetype]]s like "[[Ally of Justice|Allies of Justice]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]"s pose an extreme threat to the "Batterymen" since they have effects that will negate and destroy them with ease because all of the "Batteryman" monsters have LIGHT attributes.  "[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]" can help too.

Also, mass-removal cards like "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Lightning Vortex]]", "[[Dark Hole]]", "[[Mirror Force]]" and even "[[Doom Donuts]]" have the power to shut down "Batterymans", destroying all of their monsters before they can attack and potentially OTK. In addition, cards that remove them from play and cards that hinder special summoning them from the Graveyard or Deck will pose a threat to them. Worse, "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]", "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]", and "[[Kotodama]]" can be more permanent solution for greatly hindering "Batteryman" Decks, especially OTK builds. Also, more peculiar cards like "[[Prohibition]]", "[[Psi-Blocker]]", "[[Dark Designator]]" "[[D.D. Designator]]" and "[[Mind Crush]]" can prevent "Batteryman" Decks from flourishing at all.

==Trivia==
 
−
* The number shown on the chests of [[Batteryman AA]], [[Batteryman AAA]], [[Batteryman C]] and [[Batteryman D]] corresponds their Levels. This also relates to their respective battery sizes in Japan, which are categorized as 単 (roughly translated as "single") and a number.

"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.

"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".
