The battle phase consists of the following four steps:
The battle step and damage step are conducted whenever a player have a battle.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Start Step | The step to begin the battle phase. |
| Battle Step | The step to attack with your monster card. |
| Damage Step | The step to calculate how much damage a player get. |
| End Step | The step to end the battle phase. |
During the damage step, cards that are spell speed 2 or 3 can be activated to use their effect. That means that a player can use quick-play spell, monster's quick effect, normal/continuous/counter traps in the step.
| Spell speed | Card type |
| 1 | Norma/equip/continuous/field/ritual spell Monster's ignition/trigger/flip effect |
| 2 | Quick-play spell Monster's quick effect Normal/continuous trap |
| 3 | Counter trap |
Combat trick, the term used in Japan, refers to that activating the effects of cards, such as Shrink and Rush Recklessly, during the damage step in order to help a monster card to beat the monster card controlled by an opponent.
Card effect activation is not prevented by spell speed 1 cards since those cards cannot be used during the damage step.
