Card Rulings:Nitro Warrior
OCG Rulings
- This card's second effect activates after Damage Calculation.[1]
- "Nitro Warrior" must be face-up on the field when the Spell Card is activated in order for his effect to work. If you activate a Spell Card and then Synchro Summon "Nitro Warrior", he does not get his effect.[2]
- You can only gain 1 additional attack with this card's effect.[3]
- "Nitro Warrior"'s effect of gaining 1000 ATK is a Continuous Effect. It is not optional - it applies to the first time this card battles.[4]
- If "Spirit Reaper" is targeted by the effect of "Nitro Warrior", it is destroyed immediately after it changes to ATK Mode.[5]
- If the monster targeted by "Nitro Warrior" is destroyed, such as if "Spirit Reaper" is targeted by the effect, then the attack stops. A Replay does not occur.[5]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[6] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.
