Photon

Photon (フォトン Foton) is an Archetype of LIGHT-Attribute cards used by Kaito Tenjo, Droite and Gauche in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. This archetype was first released in Photon Shockwave. The monsters in this archetype all emit blue light on their bodies, along with some armours or scales covering them.

They are geared towards summoning their spearhead, "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" by swarming the field with high ATK monsters with relative ease. As well as this, the smaller monsters within the archetype seem to be based around disrupting the opponent's strategies such as returning their hand to their deck, removing their Xyz Monsters' materials, and rendering them useless. Some "Photon" cards also focus on using multiple copies of the same monster.
