MechanicsEdit
OCG/TCG/Rush DuelEdit
When an Attack Position monster battles, its ATK is used during damage calculation.
A monster's printed ATK may be 0, a positive integer (observed to never exceed 5000), or ?. By default, a monster's printed ATK becomes its original ATK upon being summoned, i.e. the monster's ATK before being affected by card effects. Card effects can change a monster's original ATK or its on-field ATK; there is no upper limit for a monster's ATK, but it cannot go below 0.
MAXIMUM ATKEdit
In Rush Duel, Maximum Monsters have MAXIMUM ATK, which they use while in Maximum Mode.
