     Battle Phase Chart

 Free Timing
This is the timing in Phases/Steps where Cards and Text can be played. In Free Timing, as long as its possible, players can play any amount of cards or text. Cards and text cannot be played outside of Free Timing. Please refer to the Timing Chart.

 Start and End of Free Timing
Free Timing will Start at the beginning of the Step/Phase. Any effects that happen at the beginning of the Step/Phase can be Cut into. However, as there is no Free Timing before the Fixed Effect of  the Reroll Phase, effects that happen at the Beginning of Reroll Phase cannot be Cut into. There is no Free Timing at the end of each Step/Phase. So effects that happen at the End of the Step/Phase cannot be Cut into.

 Prioriy of Free Timing
In Free Timing, the Turn Player has the priority to play first. If the turn player gives up the priority to play, then the Defending Player gets the priority.

 Timing for Playing Text
If the Timing is stated in the Text, the player whos playing the text can only play it in the Specified timing.

 Battle Phase Chart
Below is the Free Timing Chart, for a list of Timings and Periods in the Phases and Steps in the game.

(Translated by Zeta_Gundam~ ) I'll come up with a prettier layout for the Chart later...
