A Quick Effect, formerly called a Multi-Trigger Effect, and called an Immediate Trigger Effect (誘発即時効果 Yūhatsu Sokuji Kōka) in Japan, is a type of monster effect that is Spell Speed 2 (and is the only Spell Speed 2 monster effect).
It is the only type of monster effect that can be activated in Summon negation window, and the only one that can be Chained to another activation (excluding SEGOC). As such, monsters effects that negate activations or Summons are all Quick Effects.
For cards with Problem-Solving Card Text, starting in Starter Deck: Link Strike, Quick Effects are noted by "(Quick Effect)" at the end of the activation timing. Prior to Starter Deck: Link Strike, for cards with Problem-Solving Card Text, Quick Effects are normally noted by "During either player's [turn/Phase/Step]", although some cards specifically state "(this is a Quick Effect)" such as "Necro Gardna".
For cards without Problem-Solving Card Text, Quick Effects are more difficult to identify. They can be identified by text which indicates the same timing as the PSCT standard. Some Quick Effects can only be determined to be that way due to rulings. Monster effects which can be activated in Chain to other cards or effects (outside of SEGOC) or that can negate the Summon of monsters must be Quick Effects.
Unless otherwise specified (e.g. "Light and Darkness Dragon"), the same Quick Effect can be activated multiple times during the same Chain, as long as it meets its activation timing in each case.
Chain example
The player controls a face-up "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", and it is currently the opponent's Main Phase 1.
- Chain Link 1: The opponent activates "Fissure".
- Chain Link 2: The player Chains "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8"'s effect to negate and destroy "Fissure".
- Chain Link 3: The opponent Chains "Book of Moon", targeting "Horus".
- Chain Link 4: The player Chains "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8"'s effect to negate and destroy "Book of Moon.
Since Chains resolve backwards, the Chain would resolve as follows:
- Chain Link 4: "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" negates and destroys "Book of Moon".
- Chain Link 3: "Book of Moon" resolves without effect.
- Chain Link 2: "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" negates and destroys "Fissure".
- Chain Link 1: "Fissure" resolves without effect.
