In this position, the [[DEF]] value is used to represent this card, except where a card effect requires a specific examination of the [[ATK]] value. |

| − | '''Defense Position''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|守|しゅ}}{{Ruby|備|び}}{{Ruby|表|ひょう}}{{Ruby|示|じ}} ''Shubi Hyōji''), also referred to as '''Defense Mode''' in the anime, is a [[battle position]] in which the [[Monster Card|monster]] uses its [[DEF]] points in [[battle]]. It is represented by the Monster Card being placed horizontally.
| + | In Defense Position, a [[Monster Cards|Monster Card]] is always in a Horizontal Position. When a monster is "[[Set]]", it is played in [[face-down]] Defense Position. Monsters cannot be [[Normal Summon]]ed in [[face-up]] Defense Position, except by a card effect that allows them to be summoned that way(such as [[Light of Intervention]]). During battle between a Defense Postion monster, the [[DEF]] value of that monster is used to calculate [[Battle Damage]], rather than the [[ATK]] value. |
| | | | |
| − | Defense Position monsters can be either [[face-up]] or [[face-down]]. Defense Position monsters normally cannot [[attack]], and if they are attacked their [[control]]ler usually does not take any [[battle damage]]. | + | Usually, Defense Position monsters cannot attack, but some monsters such as [[Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster]] and [[Total Defense Shogun]] have effects that allow them to attack while in Defense Position. |
| | | | |
| − | [[Link Monster]]s and [[Maximum Monster]]s in [[Maximum Mode]] can never be in Defense Position, because they do not have DEF. | + | [[Image:Blue-EyesWhiteDragonJMP-EN-UR-Defense.png|frame|400px|center|This is what a card looks like in Defense Position]] |

| + | {{Gameplay}} |
| − | Monsters can normally only be [[Normal Summon]]ed/[[Normal Set|Set]] in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]] or [[face-down]] Defense Position. The only way to Normal Summon a monster in face-up Defense Position is due to the effect of the card "[[Light of Intervention]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | When a monster is Special Summoned, the player conducting the Summon chooses whether to Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position or face-up Defense Position, unless a card effect specifies otherwise.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Battle==
| |
| − | If a Defense Position monster is attacked, its DEF is used in damage calculation.
| |
| − | * If the attacking monster's ATK is greater than the defending Defense Position monster's DEF, the defending monster is [[destroyed by battle]], but its controller does not take battle damage unless the attacking monster can inflict [[piercing]] battle damage.
| |
| − | * If the attacking monster's ATK is equal to the defending Defense Position monster's DEF, neither monster is destroyed and neither player takes battle damage.
| |
| − | * If the attacking monster's ATK is less than the defending Defense Position monster's DEF, the attacking monster's controller takes battle damage equal to the difference between the attacking monster's ATK and the defending monster's DEF. However, neither monster is destroyed.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Defense Position monsters normally cannot [[attack]]. However, some monsters [[Defense Position attacker|have effects]] that allow them to attack while in Defense Position (such as "[[Elemental HERO Rampart Blaster]]" and several "[[Superheavy Samurai]]" monsters). Monsters with these effects normally specify whether their ATK or DEF is applied during [[damage calculation]] when attacking this way (if not specified, their ATK is used).

| − | ==Anime==
| |
| − | In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, monsters can be Normal Summoned in face-up Defense Position under normal circumstances.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Projections of monster depict Defense Position in various ways:
| |
| − | * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', monsters crouch into a defensive pose on top of a projection of their own card in Defense Position.
| |
| − | * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', monsters become blue-tinted and crouch into a defensive position.
| |
| − | * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'', monsters take on a defensive pose.
| |
| − | * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', monsters glow with a blue aura.
| |
| − | * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', monsters' appearances remain unchanged regardless of battle position.
| |
| − | * In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', monsters become blue-tinted and take on a defensive stance.
