A direct attack (Japanese:
Many monsters have the ability to perform a direct attack, even when there is a monster on the opponent's side of the field. However, to balance this, they typically have very low ATK values and/or a hindering effect (such as "Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat"). One major exception to this "rule" are "Earthbound Immortal" monsters, which have high ATK, but destroy themselves when there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field.
Inflicting battle damage through direct attacks is a primary win condition for most Decks.
