A '''Level''' (formerly '''Level Star''' in the card text of [[Ritual Monster]] Cards and [[Ritual Spell Card]]s; Japanese: レベル or {{Ruby|星|レベル}}<ref group=Notes>This abbreviated form (with the kanji character meaning "star", literally) is only used in the [[card text]] of [[Trap Monster]] Cards and cards that [[Summon]] a [[Monster Token|Token]].</ref> ''Reberu'') is a property of [[Monster Card|monsters]].
 
 
 
The [[original Level]] of a Monster Card is represented by a number of stars [[File:CG Star.svg|18px|alt=a yellow star on an orange circle]] in the top-right (except for "[[Ultimaya Tzolkin]]" and "[[Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin]]", which each have a [[Level condition]] that determines their [[original Level]] instead of their marked Level of 0).
 
 
 
In the ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[TCG]]'', monsters' original Levels can range from 0 to 12, with a monster's original Level providing a rough indication of how powerful it is. [[Card effect]]s can freely raise a monster's Level to arbitrarily large values in excess of 12. In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|manga]], as well as in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force]]'' series of video games, [[Dark Synchro Monster]]s can have [[negative Level]]s.
 
 
 
Not all monsters have Levels. [[Xyz Monster]]s have a [[Rank]] instead of a Level. [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]s [[Special Summon]]ed as monsters by the effect of "[[Magical Hats]]", and [[Boss Duel]] monsters, do not have a Level nor a Rank.
 
 
 
A monster can only have a single Level at a time.<ref>{{cite book |author=Konami |title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game - Perfect Rulebook 2015 |url=https://ygorganization.com/perfectrulebook/ |page=48}}</ref>
 
 
 
==Normal Summoning==
 
Excluding monsters with [[Summoning condition]]s that specify otherwise,
 
* Level 1 to 4 monsters can be [[Normal Summon]]ed without [[Tribute]]s
 
* Level 5 and 6 monsters requires 1 Tribute to be Normal Summoned (this is a [[Tribute Summon]])
 
* Level 7 and higher monsters require 2 Tributes to be Normal Summoned (this is a Tribute Summon)
 
 
 
If the Level of a monster in the hand is changed (such as due to the effect of "[[Level Conversion Lab]]" or "[[A Legendary Ocean]]"), the modified Level is considered when Normal Summoning the monster.
 
 
 
==Role in Special Summons==
 
A monster's Level is also important in [[Ritual Summon|Ritual]], [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], [[Xyz Summon|Xyz]], and [[Pendulum Summon]]ing.
 
*Most [[Ritual Spell Card]]s require monsters to be [[Tribute]]d who total Levels are greater than or equal to the Level of the [[Ritual Monster]] to be Ritual Summoned.
 
*To Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, the player must use [[Synchro Material]]s whose total Levels exactly equal the Synchro Monster's Level.
 
*To Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster, the player must use 2 or more [[Xyz Material]]s whose Levels all equal the Xyz Monster's Rank.
 
*Pendulum Summoning allows the player to Special Summon multiple monsters who each have a Level that is between the [[Pendulum Scale]]s of the cards in the [[Pendulum Zone]]s.
 
 
 
==Patterns==
 
A common guideline is that Level 3 monsters generally have no more than 1750 [[ATK]], Level 4 monsters have [[Level 4 ATK and DEF Rules|no more than 2000 ATK]], Level 6 monsters have no more than 2600 ATK, Level 8 monsters have [[Rule of 3000 ATK and DEF|no more than 3000 ATK]], Level 10 monsters have no more than 4000 ATK, and Level 12 monsters have no more than 5000 ATK. Monsters that break this rule generally have [[negative effect]]s or restrictive Summoning conditions that make them harder to use.
 
 
 
==Play style==
 
Due to the higher requirements involved in Summoning them, higher-Level monsters are typically not as numerous as lower-Level monsters in a player's Deck, assuming the Deck is properly balanced. While high-Level monsters are usually considered the most effective in combat, it is often the low-Level monsters that perform the most important roles, due to their ease of use and often versatile [[card effect]]s such as [[search]]ing other cards out of the player's Deck. In addition, many low-Level monsters possess effects that can change their ATK, which in a well-supported Deck can often give them far higher ATK than any high-Level monster. For example, "[[Copycat]]" and "[[Relinquished]]" base their ATK upon the opponent's monster, the "[[Meklord Emperor|Meklord Emperors]]" can take the ATK power of the opponent's Synchro Monsters, and "[[King of the Skull Servants]]" can have an enormous ATK in the right Deck.
