"Defense" redirects here. For the battle position, see Defense Position.

DEF (守(しゅ)備(び)力(りょく) Shubiryoku, lit. Defense Power) are the points that determine a monster's defense or toughness 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 destroyed, but the controller of the Defense Position monster takes no damage to his/her Life Points, unless the attacking monster has an ability called "piercing" where the difference between ATK and DEF is dealt as Battle Damage.

If the same situation is reversed, where the ATK is lower than or equal to the opponent's monster's DEF, both monsters remain on the field, but the controller of the attacking monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the ATK and DEF values.
