Explaining the Battle Phase


Topics tagged under 5 on Duel Academia Battle-Fusion_FL

This article is more directed at beginning players that don't have much experience. However, I'm sure returning veterans will appreciate this article if they need to brush up on some of their rulings.

Table of Contents:


Overview of the Battle Phase

The Battle Phase is one of the most important phases in Yu-Gi-Oh!. This is the phase where attacks are declared, monsters are destroyed, and players potentially lose the duel. If you are a starting duelist, or a duelist who has moved from casual gameplay to the competitive front of Yu-Gi-Oh!, you've probably found that there are a lot more rules than you first thought. Competitive duelists have probably snapped at you, claiming that you can't activate that one face-down during "this step" and making snarky remarks about how you haven't read the rules. I don't actually know this, I'm just basing this off my own experiences, so don't worry. I'm not stalking you.

The Battle Phase can be conducted every turn of the duel, except for the very first turn, or unless a card has a specific effect which has prevented the player from conducting attacks during their turn. During this phase, Monsters cannot be Normal Summoned, and any cards with a Speed Spell value of 1 cannot be activated.

What is complicated about the Battle Phase is the steps that it is divided up into. The Battle Phase consists of four, individual steps, known as the Start Step, Battle Step, Damage Step, and End Step. Each step has restrictions on what cards can be activated, which is what leads to so much trouble. So, let's take a look at each step.


Start Step

This is the first step of the Battle Phase. When the Turn Player declares that they are entering the Battle Phase, the Battle Phase is entered, and the players are taken into the Start Step. During the Start Step, the Game State is open, and either player is allowed to activate Trap Cards, or Quick Play Spell Cards. That's really it. The Start Step isn't actually that complicated, which is pretty nice, as the rest of the Battle Phase is more complicated than this.

Battle Step

Not to be confused with the Battle Phase, the Battle Step is the next step in the four step series of the Battle Phase. The immediate shift from the Start Step to the Battle Step comes when the Turn Player declares an attack. Once the attack is declared, the step opens up to allow the opponent to respond. If no response is made, the Battle Step immediately ends and changes into the Damage Step.

Damage Step

Now, the damage step is the most complicated step of the Battle Phase. This is where all the complications of rulings and sequences happen, so pay close attention.

If the attack of a card has gotten through, the Damage Step begins. Once the Damage Step takes effect, the types of effects that can be activated are immediately restricted to the following types of cards:

- Counter Trap Cards
- Speed Spell Two Effects (Held by Quick-Play Spells, Traps, and certain monsters) that alter ATK and DEF values of monsters on the Field.
- Effects that have specific activation timings
- Quick Effects (Held by monsters)

Now, if that seems complicated to you, I'll give you a few examples of cards that meet each requirement:

Examples:


Now onto the actual Damage Step.

The Damage Step itself is broken down into 7 individual substeps which have their own little subset of rules that apply and actions that are taken. These will be explained below.

Substep 1:


Substep 2:


Substep 3:


Substep 4:



Substep 5:


Substep 6:


Substep 7:


End Step

The last step of the Battle Phase is the End Step. There's nothing really special that goes on here. Cards like the Gladiator Beast and Neos HEROs will have their effects activate at this step. Once you've moved into this step, you can no longer declare attacks, and the Battle Phase will end.


That's all you really need to know about the Battle Phase. Hopefully this helped those that are confused by Battle Phase rulings.

Happy dueling.
