They are treated as both [[Spell Card]]s (they would be [[destroy]]ed by the effect of "[[Heavy Storm]]") and Equip Cards (for purposes such as "[[Gearfried the Swordmaster]]"). Other anti-support cards may become Equip Cards through card effects, like with "[[Sword Hunter]]" or [[Union Monsters]]. Whenever a Monster Card becomes an Equip Card, it is treated as an [[Equip Spell Card]], and is no longer considered a [[Monster Card]]. So a "[[Dark Magician]]" equipped to your "[[Sword Hunter]]" as an Equip Card could be destroyed by "Heavy Storm", but not by "[[Tribute to the Doomed]]".}}{{Infobox/Archetype/End}}

An '''Equip Cards constantly target the monster that it is equipped toCard''' ({{Ruby|装備|そうび}}カード ''Sōbi Kādo'', and they can subsequently destroy monsters that state they are destroyed if targeted by an effectlit. If "Equipment Card"), also known as an Equip '''Equipment Card's effect were to be negated (by '' in the effects of cards like "English manga, is a card that is [[Spell Cancellerequip]]" or "ped to a [[Royal Decreeface-up]]", when applicable), the card would remain "equipped" to that same [[Monster Card|monster, and would still be subsequently removed from ]] on the [[field if the equipped monster were to be removed from the field or flipped face-down, due to game mechanics]].

However, monsters equipped as Equip Cards still count as "being on Card is not an inherent [[card type]] in the field"''TCG''/''OCG''. Instead, so effects or conditions it is a quality of a card that rely on is applied to a card "being sent from the field when it is equipped to the Graveyard", such as "[[Felgrand Dragon]]", would still apply. Despite this, they cannot activate/apply their effects on the field while treated as Equip Cards, as they are not "monsters" at the timea monster by a card effect.

Equip Cards whose equipped monsters have been removed from the field are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard afterwards, as they no longer have a target. In the case of many "original ''[[DragunityYu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]" and "[[Inzektor]]" '' manga, some cards, monsters are commonly equipped to other monsters only listed as Equip Cards rather than as part of their effectsEquip Spell Cards, enhancing their usefulnessas if Equip Card is a card type itself. However, cards such as "[[Dragunity Aklys]]" need to be sent to This is not the Graveyard while equipped for their effects to activatecase in other media.

==Equipping Equip Cards usually have beneficial effects applied to the equipped monster. ==Equip Cards can also be are equipped to opponents' monsters to abuse the effect in some way, such as equipping your enemy's "through two ways:* Using [[Dark MagicianEquip Spell Card]]" with "s* Using [[Big Bang Shotcard effect]]" and Setting a monster with low s that equip non-Equip Spell Cards onto monsters, [[DEFtreated as Equip Card]]. When the "Dark Magician" attacks, your opponent suffers the battle damage due to the wording on "Big Bang Shot". Note that while the monster who receives the benefit can be your opponent's, you are still the owner of the Equip Card, and thus any references to "you" still means the owner of the Equip Card itself, not the owner of the equipped monster.

Some If the monster receiving the equips is no longer a [[Trap Cardmonster]]s, like "that is [[Blast with Chainface-up]]"on the field, can also become the Equip CardsCard is immediately destroyed. These cards are considered For Equip Cards but are NOT that feature [[Equip Spell Cardcondition]]son what monsters they can equip to (e.

It condition is not a [[Spell Card]]no longer fulfilled, and cannot be [[destroy]]ed by "[[De-Spell]]". We can call this kind of Trap an "then the Equip Trap Card" in a greater sense, although this is not an official designationwill also be immediately destroyed.

For Equip Cards can be equipped to monsters [[control]]led by either player, and [[Changes control|changing control]] of a list monster does not cause control of an Equip Spell CardsCard to change. While the equipped monster can be the opponent's, see the Equip Card's [[List of control]]ler is the one referred to "you" in the Equip Spell CardsCard's [[card text]], not the controller of the equipped monster.

For If a list of non-Equip [[Spell Card]]smonster equips a monster card to itself with its own effect, and then has its effects negated, see the list of cards [[Treated as Equip Card]]smonsters equipped to it by its effect will be destroyed.<!--needs source on specific ruling or rule-->
