* Cards that cannot be labeled as any of the above cards, but have rulings stating that they and/or their effect(s) are allowed to be activated during the Damage Step.

A card only needs to meet one of the above requirements to be activated during the Damage Step. As long as it does not explicitly specify ''(except during the Damage Step)'', even if it fails to satisfy one of the above requirements, if it satisfies another one it can be activated during the Damage Step. For example, "[[Rope of Life]]" Special Summons a monster and exclusively changes the ATK of the Summoned monster (like "[[Reverse of Neos]]"); cards with such effects cannot be activated during the Damage Step for that reason alone, but since "Rope of Life" also has an activation timing that is unique to the Damage Step ("''When a monster(s) is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard:''"), it can be activated during the Damage Step.
