Needs to be lowercase 'o' in 'of' for 'Light of Intervention'
In Defense Position, a Monster Card can be either face-up or face-down, in a Horizontal Position. 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.
In Defense Position, a Monster Card is always in a Horizontal Position. When a monster is "[[Set]]", it is played in [[face-down]] Defense Position. Monsters cannot be summoned into [[face-up]] Defense position, except by the effect of [[Light Of of Intervention]], or another specific card effect. During battle with a Defense Postion monster, the [[DEF]] value of that monster is used to calculate battle damage, rather than the [[ATK]] value.
If an [[Attack Position]] monster battles with a Defense Postion monster with a greater [[DEF]] than the [[ATK]] of the attacking monster, neither monster is [[destroyed]]. However, damage calculation is carried out as normal.
Monsters in Defense Position cannot attack, except for [[Total Defense Shogun]] or [[Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster]].
