- When the ATK/DEF of "Emissary from Pandemonium" are halved by its effect, the halved values are treated as the monster's Original ATK and DEF.[2][3]
- If "Emissary from Pandemonium" has its ATK/DEF halved by its effect and then it is affected by "Shrink" or "Megamorph", then "Shrink" and "Megamorph" use 1300 to determine the new ATK. "Shrink" will make its ATK 650, etc. If "Skill Drain" is later activated, then the effect of "Emissary from Pandemonium" will be negated, but it will still have 650 ATK.[3]
- If "Emissary from Pandemonium" is Summoned with one Tribute, "Skill Drain" will negate its effect and return its Level to 7 and its ATK and DEF to 2600 and 1800. If "Skill Drain" is later removed from the field, then the Level of "Emissary from Pandemonium" will not return to 5 and its ATK and DEF will not be halved.[4]
