Forum:Chain Whirlwind

if an union monster is destroyed because it protected the monster it was equipped to from being destroyed by battle, can i chain Chain Whirlwind after the destruction? if i use it together with Machina Peacekeeper, will peacekeeper miss its timing? thanks alotJune23ly (talk • contribs) 14:16, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you can activate "Chain Whirlwind".

If "Machina Peacekeeper" is destroyed, then its effect activates automatically as Chain Link 1. Then, you Chain "Chain Whirlwind" as Chain Link 2. Remember, activating cards never causes effects to miss the timing. --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 14:54, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Can i use Chain Whirlwind after the resolution of Mystical Space Typhoon during the End Phase? i use MST to destroy 1 set S/T m opponent controls June23ly (talk • contribs) 14:19, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you can do that. Just make sure that Chain Whirlwind was Set the turn before.-- HHTurtle ^Talk   16:31, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

how about i have an Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon and i declare an attack with it. After i declared an attack, i used my Double Cyclone to destroy my Geartown and an opponents S/T. After the resolution of my Double Cyclone, can i summon another AGGD via the effect of Geartown after it was destroyed during the battle step? thanks alot June23ly (talk • contribs) 15:27, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the S/T are destroyed by the effect of Double Cyclone at the same time so the effect of Geartown doesn't miss the timing.-- HHTurtle ^Talk   15:33, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

I have 2 AGGDs on my field and i declare an attack using one of the AGGD. it destroys the monster by battle and sends it to grave. i want to attack using another AGGD i control. Can my opponent activate any S/T after my 1st AGGD attacks and finishes the steps of the battle it entered or my opponent doesnt have any chance to activate any S/T if Ancient Gear monsters are declaring an attack one after the other? thanks June23ly (talk • contribs) 06:23, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, if your opponent passes you priority, you can activate a s/t after AGGD's attack. Substep 7:End of the Damage Step - Monster(s) Destroyed by Battle are Sent to the Graveyard

• Also see Breakdown of the Battle Phase

So basically, after the monster has been destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, after a monster that has an effect activated when it is destroyed by battle (if in the situation), after monsters' effects that specifically activate at the end of the Damage Step (Ancient Gear Engineer, The Six Samurai - Zanji, etc.) are activated (if in the situation), and after your opponent passes priority to you, THEEEENNNNNN you can activate a s/t.---DED((Here's my page of messages and the such) 08:13, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well, in the very first question, you cannot activate Chain Whirlwind since it cannot be activated during the Damage Step. ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 08:31, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

dude, you misunderstood my question. i knew that i can use S/T if i control the AGGD that is attacking since im not the opponent, my question is can my opponent (not the turn player who controls AGGD) activate any S/T after his monster is destroyed by battle and sent to grave and any GY effects of his monster are already resolved? by the way when the "end of damage step" phase ends? June23ly (talk • contribs) 13:59, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

If you read the Breakdown of the Battle Phase, Sub-step 7: End of the Damage Step is still "in the Damage Step". Your opponent can only activate S/T after Sub-step 7.-- HHTurtle ^Talk   14:10, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

so he can use S/T like Book of Moon after sub step 7to prevent another AGGD from attacking him?June23ly (talk • contribs) 15:33, August 27, 2010 (UTC) how can he call/use that since im the turn player and i have priority to declare another attack/end battle phase after ending sub step 7 of my first AGGD attack phase?June23ly (talk • contribs) 15:33, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yes. After Sub-step 7, you are out of the Damage Step and if you want to attack with the 2nd AGGD, you start again from the Battle Step.

"A Phase can only be left if both players agree."

You only use your Priority as a Turn Player to activate certain effects before your opponent. You don't use it when moving from 1 phase to another. Even if you are the Turn Player, both players must agree on whether or not to move to another phase. A similar rule also applies to which step and which Sub-step in the Damage Step that they are currently at.

Basically, all you need can be found at the Breakdown of the Battle Phase page. -- HHTurtle ^Talk   15:51, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Err, after the Damage Step, you can immediately attack with your second "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon" before your opponent can activate "Book of Moon". After the Damage Step, you return to the Battle Step. At this time, you (the Turn Player) have Priority, and get the first chance to act. At this time, you can declare an attack. Your opponent can't activate "Book of Moon" until you either activate a card, or pass Priority. --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 17:29, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

so it means if i use Ancient Gear monsters to declare an attack and follow it with another attack declaration from another Ancient Gear monster i control, the opponent has no chance to use any S/T during after attack declarations, am i right? thanks alot June23ly (talk • contribs) 18:57, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't misunderstand your question. I was just giving an example of the opponent being the one having the attacking AGGD, not you. I just switched up the situation. Nonetheless, it makes no difference. Thanks Dues.---DED((Here's my page of messages and the such) 19:17, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

And yes, that is what Dues is saying, unless of course you pass priority before you want to attack again.---DED((Here's my page of messages and the such) 19:17, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

New Question

Jon0191 (talk • contribs) IF I activate Icarus attack and I target 2 cards on the field, and as I begin to destroy the fist card, can I chain that to Chain Whirlwind and destroy 2 Spell or traps?

You can't interrupt the resolution of an effect. You must wait until the effect of Icarus Attack has resolved before you can activate Chain Whirlwind. You can even activate Chain Whirlwind when multiple cards are destroyed by effects.-- HHTurtle ^Talk   02:11, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
