LIGHT

LIGHT monsters are the historic opposite of DARK Monsters. LIGHT monsters are often represented by Fairy, Thunder, Spellcaster and Machine-Types, but in general they encompass a wide array of monsters.

Some LIGHT cards focus on overwhelming offensive power, but others focus on positively reinforcing the player instead of directly damaging the opponent, such as by increasing their Life Points or allowing the player to draw extra cards from their Deck. LIGHT monsters will in general either be highly offensive or highly defensive with little middle ground. Some LIGHT monsters almost always reveal your strategy due to the follow up that would happen if the strategy succeeds in being used.

Notably, the Attribute of the Monsters do not necessarily indicate any sense of morality. But most LIGHT monsters are more angelic in appearence or more humanoid.
