"Photon" (フォトン Foton) is an archetype of LIGHT-Attribute cards used by Kaito Tenjo, Droite and Gauche in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. This archetype was first released in Photon Shockwave. The monsters in this archetype all emit blue light on their bodies and most are covered with armor or scales.
The goal of a "Photon" Deck is to take control of field, preventing your opponent from doing harm towards you. "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" is a good example show due to its Quick Effect - being able to banish itself, even chaining to another card; this gives itself advantages by escaping Traps, such as "Dimensional Prison", etc. Even though its effects allow itself to gain ATK for banishing Xyz Monsters, along with itself, it can be used to bypass other card effects. Another example is "Photon Leo" - though it may be a Level 6, it can be benefiting, as it shuffles cards in your opponent's hand back into the Deck, which may or may not mess up your opponent's plan.
All "Photon" monsters are LIGHT and as such receive benefits from LIGHT support cards.
