OCG Rulings

• The effect of "Steelswarm Roach" is a Quick Effect.

• The effect does not target.

• Detaching 1 Xyz Material from this card is a cost to activate the effect.

• It is activated in response to Special Summons that do not start a Chain Link, such as Synchro Summons, Pendulum Summons, or Special Summons of monsters like "Cyber Dragon" and "Chaos Sorcerer". (It can be activated when either player would Special Summon a monster.)

• If a Level 4 monster and a Level 5 monster are Special Summoned at the same time by a Pendulum Summon, the effect of "Steelswarm Roach" can be activated. If you do, the Pendulum Summon of the Level 5 monster is negated, but the Level 4 monster is Pendulum Summoned as usual. Similarly, if a DARK monster and an EARTH monster are Special Summoned at the same time by a Pendulum Summon, "Chaos Trap Hole" can be activated. If you do, the Pendulum Summon of the DARK monster is negated, but the EARTH monster is Pendulum Summoned as usual.
