Direct Attack

Direct Attack is the term for the final attack of one of your creatures against your opponent who has no shields.

Details
An opponent player fails to defend against this loses the game.

It is the one of the most basic victory conditions of Duel Masters.

If your opponent has at least one shield, the direct attack can't be done.

For example, if you attack your opponent while they control a shield by a creature that has Double Breaker, only one shield is broken and the direct attack doesn't occur


 * If you can destroy the attacking creature by blocking with Blocker or a Ninja Strike ability, you can stop direct attacks.
 * Some cards can prevent your opponent from winning the game even by a direct attack for a turn, such as Diehard Ryusei of Invincibility and Oni "Champion", Victory Twelve.
 * The Revolution 0 Trigger ability can only be triggered at this point.
 * When you attack a player with Spectryte, Crystal Gaia or Royal Straight Flush Kaiser, if you can trigger their ability to reduce the number of shields to 0, the attack by them will be direct.
 * Alternate Wins to a direct attack can also include reducing the number of cards in your opponents deck to 0, so they may satisfy an special defeat condition.
 * Many players declare とどめ (Todome) as they announce they are attacking their opponent directly due to the Duel Masters Anime. Some players refer to it as "player attack" or "checkmate".
