This can either be in response to a specific event or during a particular phase or step. Unless otherwise specified, Trigger Effects can be activated during either player’s turn.
Trigger effects Effects that are activated in response to a specific event, such as a card being destroyed, or a card being added to the hand, are activated in the yellow box of the "[[Spell SpeedFast effect timing]] 1" chart, and therefore cannot must either be chained to other effectsactivated at this point, except when multiple trigger effects want to activate simultaneously, in which case they will form a chain with each other according to the rules for or not at all. Examples include "[[Jurrac Guaiba]]" and "[[Simultaneous Effects|simultaneous effectsNumber 39: Utopia]]".
For optional Trigger effects Effects that activate in response to "when" a specific eventaction occurs, such as a card being destroyedtheir trigger must have been the last thing to happen, or a card being added to else the hand, are activated in the yellow box of the [[fast effect timing]] chart, and must either cannot be activated at this point, or not at all. Examples include "See ''[[Jurrac Guaiba]]" and "[[Number 39: UtopiaIf... You Can VS When... You Can]]"'' for more information.
==Damage Step==Trigger effects Effects that are not triggered by a specific event, but rather by activated at a particular period part of timethe [[Damage Step]], such as the effect of "[[Standby PhaseAlly of Justice Catastor]]", can be activated when the player has the right to perform an action. In this regardactivate immediately upon their effect being triggered, their function is more similar to [[Ignition Effect]]s (only they other Trigger Effects that are activated outside the [[Main Phase]]) as the player can choose at which point during that time in response to activate a specific event. Multiple Trigger Effects of this nature will form a Chain in accordance with the effect. Examples include "rules for [[Fire King High Avatar Garunix]]" and "[[Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning AbyssSimultaneous Effects|simultaneous effects]]".
==Spell/Trap effects that trigger==
Spell and Trap Cards can also have effects that trigger; these effects are informally called '''Trigger-like Effects'''. When the effect of an already-face-up Spell or Trap Card is triggered, the effect functions just like the Trigger Effect of a monster and activates in the yellow box of the "[[Fast effect timing]]" chart. If multiple effects are triggered, monster or otherwise, the rules for [[Simultaneous Effects|simultaneous effects]] are followed.
