Card Rulings:Cyber Blader
OCG Rulings
- "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters." is not treated as a monster effect.[1]
- When Fusion Summoning "Cyber Blader", you cannot apply the effect of "King of the Swamp".[1]
- "This card gains these effects, based on the number of monsters your opponent controls" is not treated as a monster effect. This card gains effects based on the number of monsters in the Monster Zone of the opponent of the controller of "Cyber Blader".[1]
- The effect "While your opponent controls only 1 monster, this card cannot be destroyed by battle." is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- The effect "While your opponent controls only 2 monsters, double this card's ATK." is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- The effect "While your opponent controls only 3 monsters, negate the effects of your opponent's Spell, Trap, and Effect Monsters." is a Continuous Effect.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- "Cyber Blader" only has 1 of her 3 effects at any one time. For example, if the opponent has 3 monsters, only her third effect applies, not the first or second effects.
- When applying the effect to double this card's ATK, double the total amount. So if you equip "Cyber Blader" with "Axe of Despair", her ATK will become 6200. (2100 + 1000) x 2 = 6200.
- When the opponent has exactly 3 monsters, "Cyber Blader's" effect only negates the effects of Spell, Trap, and Effect Monster Cards that activate or are active on the field. It will not negate the effect of "Sangan" or "D.D. Survivor".
- The effect of "Cyber Blader" changes immediately when the number of monsters the opponent controls changes.
- Example 1: The opponent controls "Gemini Elf" and "Dark Magician". The opponent attacks with their "Dark Magician", attacking "Cyber Blader", whose ATK is currently doubled. The opponent activates "Mystik Wok" and Tributes their "Gemini Elf" to gain 1900 Life Points. "Cyber Blader" now has 2100 ATK points, so it does not destroy "Dark Magician", but since the opponent has only 1 monster now, "Cyber Blader" is not destroyed as a result of battle, either.
- Example 2: The opponent has 3 monsters on the field, 1 of them is "Exiled Force". The opponent Tributes "Exiled Force" to activate its effect and destroy "Cyber Blader". Now they only have 2 monsters on the field, so the effect of "Exiled Force" is not negated and "Cyber Blader" is destroyed.
