What is the highest-level monster card in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime?


I'm a long time Yu-Gi-Oh fan, and I wanna know, what is the Yu-Gi-Oh monster
card that has the highest level (currently). Basically, I mean the highest
amount of stars on the top of the card.

Basically in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, each monster card has a level number (the
amount of stars at the top of the card), and I want to know which monster card
has the highest level.

Example:

An alternate answer to [Senshin's
answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/33766/1587) is however the [Fortune
Ladies](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady) used by Carly Carmine while
she was a Dark Signer in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series. and unlike her [Fortune
Fairies](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Fairy) she used before becoming
a Dark Signer the Fortune Ladies are also official cards

while the starting level of the Fortune Ladies is initially low, the highest
being 6, their special ability allows them to gain a level every turn which in
turn affects their ATK and DEF.

so [Fortune Lady Earth](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady_Earth) which
has the highest initial Level of 6 needs only 6 turns to reach Level 12 which
is indicated to be the max their special ability will allow them to go up.

Also Fortune Lady Earth and [Fortune Lady
Dark](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fortune_Lady_Dark) have the higher multiple
for their ATK and DEF out of the Fortune Ladies being 400 which means 400 x 12
= 4800 ATK and DEF which beats all [12 Star
Monsters](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Level_12_Monster_Cards) except 3 who's
ATK and/or DEF is 5000 but this can be supplemented with spells and traps.
with their much lower tribute cost they are quicker to summon especially Earth
who's initial 2400 ATK/DEF is close to the 7 star Dark Magician's who requires
2 tributes instead of Earth's single tribute.

their natural flaw is however the fact that they take some time to get
powerful unless you use other cards to boost their level. also their special
ability stop at Level 12 which means getting them to Level 12 quicker via
other cards wont give them as high of a level as if one waited and used the
cards afterwards

depending on how one plays this wait can be problematic. some strategies which
could work is to prevent summoning and use Swords of Revealing Light to stop
attacks for 3 turns each until a Fortune Lady has enough ATK/DEF to shrug off
most attacks
