'''Compulsory Effects''' (強制効果 ''Kyōsei Kōka''), also known as Mandatory Effects are ones that <em>must</em> [[activate]] and are not [[Optional]]. When [[Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain|two or more effects trigger at the same time]], the Compulsory Effects all go to the beginning of the Chain, and the [[Optional Monster Effect|Optional effects]] are put to the end of the Chain. Compulsory Effects are identified in cards by the word <em>&quot;must&quot;</em> or the phrase <em>&quot;this is not optional&quot;</em>. Monsters with mandatory effects usually <em>lack</em> the phrase <em>&quot;you can&quot;</em> in the card text. You should be aware of when effects are compulsory or optional. Certain cards like "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]" and "[[Man-Eater Bug]]" may seem powerful, but they can unintentionally work against yourself when your opponent's field is clear.
'''Mandatory effects''' ({{Ruby|強|きょう}}{{Ruby|制|せい}}{{Ruby|効|こう}}{{Ruby|果|か}} ''Kyōsei Kōka'', "Forced Effect"), also known as '''compulsory effects''', are [[Card effect|effects]] that must [[activate]] if they meet their [[activation requirement|activation conditions]]. Mandatory effects lack the phrase "You can" in their card text. (In Japanese, mandatory effects are indicated by the text {{Ruby|発|はつ}}{{Ruby|動|どう}}する ''Hatsudō suru'' "Activate".)
 
 
 
Card such as "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]" and "[[Man-Eater Bug]]" have powerful effects, but because they are mandatory effects, if they are triggered when the opponent has no monsters, the player must target their own cards.
 
 
 
==Mechanics==
 
When a mandatory effect meets its activation conditions, it always activates, even if it has no valid [[target]] or it would have no effect. Mandatory effects cannot [[missing the timing|miss the timing]]. If a mandatory effect must activate during a particular [[phase]] or [[step]], it is not possible to proceed to the next phase or step until that effect is activated.
 
 
 
When [[Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain|multiple effects trigger at the same time]], they are all placed on a [[Chain]], with the turn player's mandatory effects being activated first, followed by the non-turn player's mandatory effects. Optional effects can only be activated at higher [[Chain Link]]s.
