In this particular build I decided to utilize Artifacts because Batteryman monster really like making plays into less backrow and Artifacts easily supply either direct destruction of Spells and Trap with Artifact Ignition or with baits due to plays using only Artifacts
As we said above, it allows the opponent to play smart, making your strongest cards backfire with good plays
