Yu-Gi-Oh card game ATK vs DEF?
Well, a lack of specifics prompts me to tell everything. Each monster has a specific amount of ATK (Attack Points) and DEF (Defense Points), depicted at the bottom of the card. Generally, the points will be multiples of 100, though there are several that end in 50 and a few with other numbers, but those were only released in the early stages of the game; aside from their re-releases, there haven't been any since. Also, no card released has had any basic ATK or DEF below 0 or above 5000.A monster with ATK and DEF of less than 1000 is considered weak; between 1000 and 2000 is average; between 2000 and 3000 is powerful; between 3000 and 4000 is exceptionally powerful; anything higher...well, let's just say you don't want to mess with anything like that if you're not an experienced Duelist, and usually not even then.Generally, monsters with 0 ATK have a strong DEF and/or an effect that can compensate, and likewise, monsters with 0 DEF will have a strong ATK and/or an effect. And for monsters that have 0 ATK and DEF, they ALWAYS have a special effect to help them out. Well, okay, not always, but at last count there were only three exceptions, and their usefulness is revealed when combined with certain cards that they're meant for.Now, in terms of gameplay; first, bear in mind that the following descriptions are the basic rules of the game, but there is at least one exception to almost everything mentioned here by means of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster card.Monsters can be Normal Summoned in face-up Attack Position or Set in face-down Defense Position. Monsters can change their positions once per turn. Face-down Defense Position monsters are flipped face-up when they switch to Attack Position. Face-up monsters cannot be flipped face-down. Monsters can only attack if they're in Attack Position. Monsters cannot change into Defense Position in the same turn that they attack or the same turn they are Summoned. Monsters in Attack Position are placed vertically, right-side up in the perspective of the card's controller. Monsters in Defense Position are placed horizontally.When a monster attacks another monster in Attack Position, one of three things happens:1. If the attacking monster has greater ATK than the monster it attacks, the attacked monster is destroyed and the controller of that monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the two monsters' ATK.2. If the attacking monster has less ATK than the monster it attacks, the attacking monster is destroyed and the controller of that monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the two monsters' ATK.3. If the attacking monster has equal ATK to the monster it attacks, both monsters are destroyed and neither player loses Life Points.When a monster attacks a monster in Defense Position, one of three things happens:1. If the attacking monster has greater ATK than the DEF of the monster it attacks, the attacked monster is destroyed and the controller of that monster loses no Life Points.2. If the attacking monster has less ATK than the DEF of the monster it attacks, neither monster is destroyed and the controller of the attacking monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the attacking monster's ATK and the attacked monster's DEF.3. If the attacking monster has equal ATK to the DEF of the monster it attacks, neither monster is destroyed and neither player loses Life Points.One last note: if a monster attacks a face-down Defense Position monster, it is flipped face-up, but stays in Defense Position.And that is everything you need to know about ATK and DEF.

Are the stars the life points in yu-gi-oh cards?
In the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, 'life points' is the number given to each player at the beginning of a duel. typically each player will start with 8000, and subtract or add to that amount from there after. If a monster attacks directly, its attack is subtracted directly from the opposing players life points; if a monster battles another, the one with higher attack will remain, and the player whose monster was destroyed will take the difference of attack points to their life points, unless one monster is in defense position, wherein no damage is inflicted unless the attacking monster's attack is less than the defending monster's defense. In this case, the attacking player would take the difference in the attacking monster's attack and the defending monster's defense. The stars you're referring to are the level of the monster. A monster with 3 stars is level 3; 5 is level 5; 8 is level 8. These are used in tribute summoning monsters, synchro summoning monsters, and XYZ summoning monsters, and other special circumstances.

How do you lose life points in yu gi oh?
There are many ways to lose life points. Every player starts out with 2000 at the beginning of the duel. Some cards say to inflict this much damage to your or your opponent's life points often after a certain requirement has been fulfilled or to pay as a cost for a certain effect. The most common example of losing life points though, would be if one player attacked another player with a monster with atk points higher than the opponent's atk position monster. The difference between their atk points would be inflicted to the person with the lower atk point monster.

How many life points do monster cards get in yugioh?
Monster cards do not have life points and there is no concept of 'damaging' a monster card except for battle.

Does damage calculation mean you lose life points for example does the owner of Spirit Reaper lose points when an opponent's monster attacks it in defense position?
Answer: The "damage calculation is calculated normally" text in Spirit Reaper(SR) means if your SR is attacked while it's on attack position then you will lose LP for that battle but SR won't be destroyed and sent to the graveyard as a result of battle because of it's card effect.Answer!"Damage calculation" is the damage a player receives either due to a monster attacking or by a card effect. Damage calculation is done during the Damage Step of the Battle Phase. If a card's effect reads something like, When this Defense Position card is attacked and the ATK of the attacking monster is lower than the DEF of this card, after Damage Calculation destroy the attacking monster., then that means after damage is inflicted upon a player the rest of its effect activates destroying the attacking monster. More examples-Reflect Bounder: When card is face-up Attack Position and is attacked by a monster on your opponent's side of the field, before damage calculation is resolved in the Damage Step, this card inflicts damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the ATK of the attacking monster.This means before damage would be inflicted upon either player by the attack during the Damage Step, the monster's effect activates inflicting damage. Then damage is calculated.The Hunter With 7 Weapons: When this card is Normal Summoned, declare 1 Type of monster. When battling that Type of monster, increase the ATK of this card by 1000 points during Damage Calculation. What this translates into is that during the Damage Step, simple increase this card's attack by 1000.
