LIGHT LIGHT ( " Hikari " ) monsters are the historic opposites of DARK Monsters . " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , the components of " XYZ - Dragon Cannon " , and monsters such as " D . D . Warrior Lady " , and " Honest " , are LIGHT monsters . LIGHT monsters are represented often by Fairy , Spellcaster , Thunder , Machine and Warrior - Type . Some LIGHT cards focus on overwhelming offensive power , such as the " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " and the fusion forms of " Cyber Dragon " , 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 . In Decks themed around multiple Attribute s , the trump card of the set will often be LIGHT , such as " Rainbow Dragon " for the " Crystal Beast s " , " Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman " , and " Elemental HERO Neos " in " Elemental HERO " builds , and so on . 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 and alignment . An example made can be from " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , for as the monster represents the purity of Kisara ' s soul and draws its powerful existence from her Ka , it being known as an engine of destruction and being put to use by less than wholesome players , such as an egotistic and twisted younger Seto Kaiba , showcases the Attribute ' s possibly for good or evil , as with any attribute . Plenty of LIGHT Archetypes do exist , representing good , heroism , virtue , valiance , and divinity , such as " Constellar " , " Lightsworn " , " Utopia " , and " Noble Knight " . Furthermore , some Fiend and Zombie monster are LIGHT - attributed . This shows that not all monsters of those attributes are evil and corrupted , and LIGHT also symbolizes redemption , repentance , salvation , atonement , firm faith in virtues and purification . Being LIGHT monsters however , neither guarantees that such of an attribute are saintly , pure and virtuous , with LIGHT also representing elitism , the lurid and unwholesome made existent , decadence and bending light to create illusions of good and distortions of others . This can be seen in monsters as the Fabled , Worms , and Arcana Force are antagonistic beings according to card lore or the anime , which also features an evil entity of LIGHT . Although not exclusively , almost all monsters that appear to have electric - based powers and which are not Thunder - Type are LIGHT Attribute . Examples include " Super Conductor Tyranno " , one of only two LIGHT Dinosaur - Type monsters in the game ; " Voltic Kong " ; " Elemental HERO Thunder Giant " ; " Gilford the Lightning " and " " . LIGHT - based archetype s include : " Silent Swordsman " , " Silent Magician , " Arcana Force " , " Batteryman " , " Fabled " , " Hieratic " , " Satellarknight " , " Star Seraph " , " Lightray " , " Lightsworn " , " Noble Knight " , " Ojama " , " Photon " , " Galaxy " , " Constellar " , " Vylon " , " Bujin " , " Watt " , " Worms " , " The Agent " , " Utopia " , " Artifact " and " PSY - Frame " .
