Charge Monster

Basically, the Charge Monsters got a new counter named Charge Point. The Charge Points are points used to unlock a secondary effect of these Monsters. The Charge Monsters gains 1 Charge Point during each Standby Phase from either players, if they did not activate their effects on the last  turn (only effects that starts a chain are applied for this). This secondary effect is named Charge Effect. Each Charge Effect requires the use of a certain ammount of Charge Points. There is no limit for the ammount of Charge Points a monster can have. Charge Monster can also have Charge Effect on the GY and banished zone, but never on hand or any deck. Face-down Charge Monsters does not gain any Charge Point. Charge Monsters withous activable normal effects will also gain Charge Counters.
