'''ATK''' (Commonly referred to as ''Attack Points'' or even ''Offense Points''), are the points that determine a [[Monster Card|Monster Card's]] "strength" when attacking the opponent's [[Monster Cards]].Ass
If one ATK is lower than the other, the one with the lowest ATK is [[destroy]]ed. The owner of the destroyed Monster takes damage equal to the difference between the two ATK values, unless a card effect prevents [[Battle Damage]].
If both ATK values are the same, both monsters are destroyed (called a [[Double KO]]), and no damage to [[Life Points]] is inflicted on either player, unless a card effect dictates otherwise.
If both the ATK and [[DEF]] values are the same, neither monster is [[destroyed]], and neither player loses [[Life Points]].
If the ATK value is higher than the [[DEF]] value, the [[Defense Position]] monster is destroyed, and no [[Battle Damage]] is taken, unless the attacking player has a [[Monster]], [[Spell]] or [[Trap Card]] effect that deals the difference between the ATK and [[DEF]] values as [[Battle Damage]].
If the ATK value is lower than the [[DEF]] value, the difference between the ATK and [[DEF]] values are dealt as [[Battle Damage]] to the attacking player.
If the opponent has no Monsters on the field, damage is dealt to the opponent's [[Life Points]] equal to the total ATK value, if the attack is not blocked or disrupted. This is called a [[Direct Attack]]. {{Gameplay}} [[CategoryAnother Web-Site Destruction By:Gameplay]]RadenX
