Q&A Rulings

A: You can only control 1 "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess". If "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" is already on your field, you cannot Link Summon a second copy, regardless of whether or not you use the first one as a material.[2][3]
A: The effect of "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" can be activated multiple times per turn if its ATK is 800 or more, but it can only be activated once on the same Chain. (If each player controls an "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess", each one can activate its effect on the same Chain once.)[4][3]
A: Even if the effect of "Reverse Trap" is applying, you can activate the effect of "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess". In that case, it will gain 800 ATK due to the effect of "Reverse Trap", and your opponent's monster effect activation is not negated. Also, after the turn ends and the effect of "Reverse Trap" is no longer applied, the 800 ATK increase will become an 800 ATK decrease as usual.[5][3]
  • Q: If an "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" was Link Summoned using 4 monsters as materials, and activated its effect a total of 3 times while on the field, what happens when the effect of "Shrink" is applied to it?
A: At the start of this scenario, if "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" was Link Summoned using 4 monsters as materials, its original ATK is 3200. Afterward, it loses 2400 ATK after using its effect 3 times, and when the effect of "Shrink" is applied, the ATK is recalculated. (Since it now has an original ATK of 1600, which is half of 3200, the decrease from its own effect is subtracted from that and its current ATK on the field becomes 0.) Furthermore, after the effect of "Shrink" stops applying, the effect of "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" is no longer used to determine its original ATK. (This means its original ATK will be 0, and its current ATK on the field will also be 0.)[6][3]
  • Q: If an "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" was Link Summoned using 4 monsters as materials, and activated its effect a total of 3 times while on the field, what happens when it is equipped with "Moon Mirror Shield" and battle an opponent's monster?
A: At the start of this scenario, if "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" was Link Summoned using 4 monsters as materials, its original ATK is 3200. Afterward, it loses 2400 ATK after using its effect 3 times, but when the effect of "Moon Mirror Shield" is applied during damage calculation, that reduction is no longer applied, and its ATK becomes equal to the opponent's monster's ATK or DEF +100. After damage calculation, when the effect of "Moon Mirror Shield" is no longer applied, the ATK of "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" will return to the value set by its first effect, 3200.[7][3]
A: At the start of this scenario, if "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" was Link Summoned using 4 monsters as materials, its original ATK is 3200. Afterward, it loses 2400 ATK after using its effect 3 times, but when the effect of "Solitary Sword of Poison" is applied during damage calculation, its original ATK becomes 6400, while its current ATK due to its own effect will be 4000, and damage calculation is performed with that value. After damage calculation, when the effect of "Solitary Sword of Poison" is no longer applied, the original ATK of "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess" returns to 3200, and its current ATK becomes 800.[8]
