There are several ways to lose a game of Duel Masters, but there are also multiple types of abilities that can prevent defeat for various conditions.

There are many cards that replace defeat by a Substitution Effect, or keep cards that defeat themselves by continuous effect .

"Replace Defeat by Attack" type

When a Direct Attack to yourself passes, the defeat itself can be replaced and avoided. " Extra win with attack trigger " is not a victory by attack on the rule, but you can avoid defeat with these abilities. However, you can't avoid the extra winning ability of cards other than the attacking creature that is resolved during the attack and the special defeat conditions of your card.

The following 3 cards belong to this type.

"Replace Defeat by Attacking creatures" type

In addition to above category, you can also prevent Extra Win abilities that trigger on attack such as Ultimate Galaxy Universe.

Seriously Invincible Grandpa

"Replace Defeat by non-Attack" type

It can be avoided by replacing the opponent's victory. Extra win due to a deck out or circumstance induction continues to satisfy the defeat condition even once it is replaced, so it can't be avoided as a result.

Currently, only Perfect Defense exists.
