Moved info around to more appropriate page location Previously, it mentioned speed 1, but failed to mention immediately after what happens when effects trigger but don't have the immediate opportunity to activate. Now it does
'''Trigger Effects''' (Japanese: 誘発効果 ''Yūhatsu Kōka''; Chinese: 誘發效果 ''Yòufā Xiàoguǒ'') activate whenever a certain condition on the [[Playing Field|Field]], the nature of play, or the progress of the turn, is met.
Trigger effects are considered to be [[Spell Speed 1]], but that doesn't mean you can activate them when ever you want, only when the condition has been met. If Compulsory Trigger Effects or Optional Trigger Effects that do not miss the timing trigger at a time when they cannot be [[Activate|activated]], such as if there exists a current chain, each effect that was triggered will start a new chain at the next opportunity afterwards that they can start a chain. For simultaneous activations, the order these effects are added to the start of the new chain follow the rulings for when [[Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain|Simultaneous Effects Go On the Chain]] (TCG currently handles the ordering differently than OCG.)
The effect of "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]" is triggered when it is [[Tribute Summon]]ed, and the effect requires it to [[destroy]] 1 monster on the field.
Only the activation of an Optional Trigger Effect can miss the timing. In other words, as long as the effect is activated, the resolution will never miss the timing. So two monsters will be summoned in the above example.
'''Compulsory Trigger Effects''' are effects that must [[resolve]], and are not Optional. When [[Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain|SEGOC]], and two or more effects trigger at the same time, the Compulsory effects all go to the beginning of the Chain, and the Optional effects are put to the end of the Chain. If Compulsory Trigger Effects (or Optional Trigger Effects that do not miss the timing) trigger while a chain currently exists, all of such effects that were triggered will start a new chain immediately after the current chain becomes empty. The order these effects are added to the start of the new chain follow the rulings for when [[Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain|Simultaneous Effects Go On the Chain]] (TCG currently handles the ordering differently than OCG.)
