Q&A Rulings
- Q: If the player's "Amazoness" monster destroyed the opponent's monster by battle, can the effect of "Amazoness Onslaught" be activated after damage calculation?
- A: Even if the player's "Amazoness" monster destroyed the opponent's monster by battle, the effect of "Amazoness Onslaught" can be activated after damage calculation. In that case, the destroyed monster is banished after damage calculation and is never sent to the Graveyard.[2]
- Q: What happens to the ATK of a monster Special Summoned from the hand by the effect of "Amazoness Onslaught" after "Amazoness Onslaught" is destroyed?
- A: "Amazoness Scouts" is Special Summoned by the effect "Once per turn, during the Battle Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "Amazoness" monster from your hand, and if you do, it gains 500 ATK until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field)" of "Amazoness Onslaught". The effect "it gains 500 ATK until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field)" of "Amazoness Onslaught" has already been applied to the Special Summoned "Amazoness Scouts", so even if "Amazoness Onslaught" is destroyed by "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Amazoness Scouts" will maintain its 500 ATK increase until the end of the turn.[3]
- Q: If the player's "Amazoness" monster was destroyed by battle with an opponent's monster, can "Amazoness Onslaught" be activated?
- A: Even if the player's battling "Amazoness" monster was destroyed by battle, since it still battled an opponent's monster, the effect of "Amazoness Onslaught" can still be activated after damage calculation. In that case, that opponent's monster is banished, but the player's "Amazoness" monster is sent to the Graveyard at the end of the Damage Step as usual.[4]
