'''Effect damage''' is any [[damage]] that is not caused by battle (with the exception of "[[Gravekeeper's Vassal]]") or is a reduction. Examples of cards that cause effect damage are "[[Poison Mummy]]", "[[Ookazi]]", "[[Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon]] (If "Yellow" or "Red Gadget" are [[Tribute]]d) and "[[Ceasefire]]".  
+
'''Effect damage''' ({{Ruby|効|こう}}{{Ruby|果|か}}ダメージ ''Kōka Damēji''), often colloquially referred to as '''burn damage''', is [[damage]] inflicted by means other than battle. Examples of cards that cause effect damage are "[[Poison Mummy]]", "[[Ookazi]]", and "[[Ceasefire]]".
  
−
[[Cost]]s are not considered effect damage, such as with cards like "[[Injection Fairy Lily]]" and "[[Dimension Fusion]]". Damage from [[Monster Card]]s with "Piercing" effects are considered [[Battle Damage]]. Key words to look out for on cards that deal effect damage are "Inflict" and "Direct Damage". If it says "[[Pay]]" it is a cost. For example, "[[Archfiend]]" monsters do not deal burn damage to their user, but instead lower their Life Points as a cost.
+
Not all means of decreasing LP are damage. [[Pay]]ing LP for a [[cost]], card effects that cause a player to lose LP without using the word damage (such as "[[Soul Charge]]"), or changing a player's LP to a specific value (such as "[[Life Equalizer]]") are not damage.
  
−
Some cards are capable of lowering a player's Life Points without technically inflicting battle/effect damage. Prime examples are "[[Destiny HERO - Dogma]]" and "[[Life Equalizer]]". These cards can be particularly troublesome because they are unaffected by cards such as "[[Cyber Kirin]]" and "[[Rainbow Life]]", as those cards deal specifically with damage.
+
While [[piercing]] [[battle damage]] is inflicted due to a card effect, it is battle damage rather than effect damage (as its name makes clear).
  
−
Some cards that are specifically designed to work with Direct Damage are "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]" and "[[Trap of Board Eraser]]". You can combine these with cards that deal Burn Damage to you such as "[[Granadora]]" and instead reflect it back to your opponent as damage or as a nasty effect. However, be sure to remember the distinction between "Damage" and "Life Loss" when dealing with these cards ("[[The Immortal of Thunder]]", for example, causes Life Loss, not Damage, so you cannot combine it with "Barrel Behind the Door").
+
Some cards specifically counter or prevent effect damage, such as "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]" and "[[Des Wombat]]". "[[Prime Material Dragon]]" causes all effect damage to increase a player's LP by the same amount instead.

Effect damage (効（こう）果（か）ダメージ Kōka Damēji), often colloquially referred to as burn damage, is damage inflicted by means other than battle. Examples of cards that cause effect damage are "Poison Mummy", "Ookazi", and "Ceasefire".

Not all means of decreasing LP are damage. Paying LP for a cost, card effects that cause a player to lose LP without using the word damage (such as "Soul Charge"), or changing a player's LP to a specific value (such as "Life Equalizer") are not damage.

While piercing battle damage is inflicted due to a card effect, it is battle damage rather than effect damage (as its name makes clear).

Some cards specifically counter or prevent effect damage, such as "Barrel Behind the Door" and "Des Wombat". "Prime Material Dragon" causes all effect damage to increase a player's LP by the same amount instead.
