| + | '''DEF''' (commonly referred to as ''Defense Points'') are the points that determine a monsters '''defense''' or '''toughness''' when defending against your opponent's [[Monster Cards]]. If a Monster attacks another with an [[ATK]] that is greater than the [[DEF]] of that Monster, the [[Defense Position]] monster is [[destroyed]], but the owner of the [[Defense Position]] Monster takes no [[damage]] to his/her [[Life Points]], unless the attacking Monster has an ability (called "[[Piercing]]") where the difference between [[ATK]] and DEF is dealt as [[Battle Damage]]. |
