• Discarding 1 card from your hand is a cost to activate this card. (You cannot discard "Mask Change II" itself as a cost.)

• This card targets 1 face-up monster you control.

• This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.

• Sending the targeted monster to the Graveyard and Special Summoning 1 "Masked HERO" monster from your Extra Deck are not considered to happen simultaneously.

• If a monster targeted by "Mask Change II" has its Attribute changed, then you will Special Summon a monster with the same Attribute and a higher Level than the targeted monster as it was on the field. Therefore, if a LIGHT "Elemental HERO Neos Alius" is treated as DARK monster by "DNA Transplant", since "Elemental HERO Neos Alius" is treated as a DARK monster while on the field, you can only Special Summon "Masked HERO Dark Law".

• If a monster targeted by "Mask Change II" has its Level changed, then you will Special Summon a monster with the same Attribute and a higher Level than the targeted monster as it was on the field. Therefore, if a Level 6 "Mobius the Frost Monarch" has its Level reduced to 5 by "Level Eater", since "Mobius the Frost Monarch" is Level 5 while on the field, you can Special Summon either "Masked HERO Vapor" or "Masked HERO Acid".

• "Mask Change" and "Mask Change II" can be activated even if the effect of "Non-Fusion Area" is being applied. "Mask Change" and "Mask Change II" Special Summon a "Masked HERO" Fusion Monster, but this is not a Fusion Summon.

• You can also target a "Plaguespreader Zombie" or "Battle Fader" that were Special Summoned by their own effects with "Mask Change II". In that case, you will Special Summon a "Masked HERO" monster with the same Attribute and a higher Level than those monsters. When "Plaguespreader Zombie" or "Battle Fader" leaves the field, they are banished and are not sent to the Graveyard.

• You cannot target an Xyz Monster with "Mask Change II".

• You can also target a Token Monster with "Mask Change II". In that case, you will Special Summon a "Masked HERO" monster with the same Attribute and a higher Level than that Token Monster. When the Token Monster leaves the field, it disappears and is not sent to the Graveyard.
