However, most monsters with 4 stars and 2300 or more DEF are usually limited in some way (such as [[Destiny Hero - Defender]]). 2200 DEF monsters were rare, but now are quite plentiful, as are 2100 DEF monsters. This can basically be explained by the [[Defense rule of 2000]].

"Gene-Warped Warwolf" (released in Strike of Neos) is the only 2000 ATK Level 4 Normal Monster Card and completly breaks the "Rule of 2000 ATK".

The ATK and DEF of Level 4 monters are limited by two rules: the "2000 ATK Rule" and the "2200 DEF Rule".

Rule of 2000 ATK

File:GiantKozakyDR04-EN-C-UE.png
"Giant Kozaky" has the highest ATK for a Level 4 Monster and one of the highest DEF, however with a extremely negative effect.

The "Rule of 2000 ATK" is a general rule that applies to Level 4 or lower Monster Cards; it states that once Monster Cards get to 1900 ATK, to go further, to 2000 and beyond, Special Conditions had to apply to the monster to limit the card.

The exception to this rule is "Gene-Warped Warwolf". This card destroyed the usefulness of other 2000 ATK cards, with negative side effects (like "Panther Warrior").

Over 2000 ATK Level 4 Monster Cards

There are many Level 4 cards beyond 2000 ATK points. However, they have negative side effects to counterbalance their massive power. Some examples include "Giant Orc" (2200 ATK), "Goblin Attack Force" (2300 ATK), "Chainsaw Insect" (2400 ATK) and "Giant Kozaky" (2500 ATK).

Rule of 2200 DEF

Similar to the "Rule of 2000 ATK", the "Rule of 2200 DEF" states that, once Monster Cards get to 2200 DEF, to go further, to 2300 and beyond, Special Conditions had to apply to the monster to limit the card ; 2000 DEF Monster Cards are plentiful, and many Level 4 or lower Monster Cards have DEF equal to or higher than 2000. 2200 DEF monsters were rare, but now are quite plentiful, as are 2100 DEF monsters.

Over 2200 DEF Level 4 Monster Cards

File:DestinyHero-DefenderDP05-EN-R.jpg
"Destiny Hero - Defender" 's 2700 DEF is the highest of all Level 4 Monster Cards.

Only 3 Level 4 cards have over 2200 DEF. They are "Giant Kozaky" (2400 DEF), "Big Shield Gardna" (2600 DEF) and "Destiny Hero - Defender" (2700 DEF).
