[[File:Example ATKDEF.png|thumb]]
'''DEF''' ({{Ruby|守|しゅ}}{{Ruby|備|び}}{{Ruby|力|りょく}} ''Shubiryoku'', lit. ''Defense PowerStrength'') are the points that determine a monster's '''defense''' when defending against your opponent's [[Monster Cards]]. DEF is short for '''defense'''.
If a monster attacks another with an [[ATK]] that is greater than the DEF of that monster, the [[Defense Position]] monster is [[destroy]]ed, but the [[control]]ler of the Defense Position monster takes no [[Battle Damage]] unless the attacking monster has a "[[piercing]]" [[effect]] where the difference between ATK and DEF is dealt as Battle Damage.
