Playing styleEdit
The "Batteryman" Deck has a lot of powerful specific support cards that have massive destruction capabilities. Although most of the "Batteryman" archetype is made up of weak monsters, poweful effects more than make up for it. "Batteryman 9V" is the key card of the archetype. By Summoning it, any "Batteryman" card in the Deck can be searched. "Batteryman Micro-Cell" can Special Summon any "Batteryman" from the Deck, usually "Batteryman 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 DEF monster. "Batteryman Charger" is one of the most useful cards in the archetype, because it can Special Summon a "Batteryman" of any Level from the Deck when the player Normal Summons it. Through cards like "The Monarchs Stormforth", it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good beatstick, as swarming them can get its ATK up to a max of 3300 with relative ease. "Batteryman Industrial Strength" is the most powerful "Batteryman" (in terms of its destructive effect and original ATK) because it can destroy two cards the opponent controls with his effect, simply by banishing a Thunder monster from the Graveyard. "Batteryman Fuel Cell" is one of the most important "Batteryman" card since most "Batteryman" OTKs rely on it. "Batteryman AAA" is also often used in "Batteryman" Decks for quick Xyz Summon plays. Since "Batteryman AAA" is a LIGHT monster, it allows access to powerful Rank 4 Xyz Monsters like "Starliege Paladynamo" and "Constellar Omega".

WeaknessesEdit
- "Ally of Justice" and "Koa'ki Meiru" pose an extreme threat to the "Batteryman" monsters since they have effects that will negate and destroy them with ease because all of the "Batteryman" monsters are LIGHT-Attribute. "Light-Imprisoning Mirror" can help too.
- Mass-removal cards like "Torrential Tribute", "Dark Hole", "Mirror Force" and even "Doom Donuts" have the power to shut down "Batteryman" monsters, destroying all of them before they can attack and potentially OTK. In addition, cards that banish and cards that hinder Special Summoning from the Graveyard or Deck will pose a threat to them, such as "Dimension Shifter" or "Royal Prison". Also, "Deck Devastation Virus", "King Tiger Wanghu", and "Kotodama" can be more effective for greatly hindering "Batteryman" Decks, especially OTK builds.
