Lightray is a series of LIGHT monsters that debuted in Galactic Overlord. In contrast to Dark counterparts, they are LIGHT versions of existing monsters.

All "Lightray" seem to have the same blue-and-white color scheme. They can only be Special Summoned by having a certain number of cards banished or in the Graveyard, and focus on banishing LIGHT monsters and supporting LIGHT Attribute monsters.
