Talk:Damage calculation

When a Card says "During Damage Calculation only" does the destruction of the monster continue?I made an Alien Deck, and I placed the field Spell "Otherworld- the "A" Zone", I attacked my friend' Izanami that was in Defense mode (1800)with "Alien Skull" (1600) according to A-zone, my friends Izanami would have a DEF of 1500, killing it. however he stated that that "During Damage Calculation only" meant only damage was changed, so Izanami would not be destroyed, but I wouldn't take the 200 LP damage I usually would. I think he is wrong though

could someone clear up the meaning? cuz otherwise I can't use Alien's against him because the whole point of "A" counters is to weaken your opponent's monsters enough to be able to destroy them among other things.

What happens if 2 monsters with 0 ATK points battle, being both in atk position?

Defense Position attackers

How does damage calculation change if a monster attacks while in Defense Position (e.g. Superheavy Samurais)? RedDrgn (talk • contribs) 05:21, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

The clauses for monsters being destroyed by battle apply. The attacking Defense Position monster should tell you which stat (ATK or DEF) is the relevant one in determining whether or not it's destroyed by battle. For "Total Defense Shogun", it's ATK. For "Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei", it's DEF. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 05:38, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
