The Battle Phase (Japanese: バトルフェイズ Batorufeizu) is the Phase in which battles are conducted. A Battle Phase can be conducted every turn except the first turn of the Duel, after the turn player ends their Main Phase 1.[1] It is split into four main areas:
- Start Step
- Battle Step
- Damage Step (including damage calculation)
- End Step
Entering the Battle Phase
You do not need to control monsters in order to enter the Battle Phase.[2]
Entering your Battle Phase is optional after your Main Phase 1 ends, except when card effects mandate it, such as that of a face-up Attack Position "Berserk Gorilla". Even when another card effect would prevent you from attacking, such as a face-up "Gravity Bind", you must still enter the Battle Phase in that situation.[3]
If a card effect skips your Main Phase 1, such as that of "Timeater", you do not have to enter your Battle Phase from your Standby Phase; you may choose to enter your End Phase instead.[4]
- For a breakdown of what occurs in the Battle Phase see "Breakdown of the Battle Phase".
