An attack target (Japanese: 攻（こう）撃（げき）対（たい）象（しょう） Kōgeki Taishō) is either a player or monster designated for an attack. During the Battle Step, the turn player can declare an attack by targeting either an opponent's monster or the opponent themself. If a replay occurs, the turn player can select an attack target again (even if it is the same choice), potentially allowing for effects that activate upon a monster being targeted for an attack to activate again, such as that of "Vengeful Shinobi".
