* A destroyed Cards and effects with the following activation conditions can now be activated at this point (but only at this point) if triggered appropriately, and only if they don't have further specified activation timing (such as "[[Doomcaliber Knight]]''at the end of the Damage Step''"):** "''If/When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent''", " would Tribute itself ''If/When you inflict battle damage to negate a monster your opponent with this effect that activated at this time''", "''If/When you take battle damage''", etc.* A destroyed * "''after damage calculation''"** "''If/When this card is flipped face-up''"** [[Light and Darkness DragonFlip effect]]" would activate its effect at this point if appropriate, but could not reduce its ATK and DEF upon resolution and so would not negate the effect. s
* If the attack was a direct attack, the Spell Card “[[Sebek's Blessing]]” may be activated.
* "[[Attack and Receive]]", "[[Numinous Healer]]", "[[Damage Condenser]]", and the effect of a face-up "[[Damage = Reptile]]" may be activated at this time.
