Activating and Resolving of Effects Resolving of Effects Failure in Resolving of Effects Unresolved Effects Effects that are "put on hold" Effects that Activate and take Effect at the Same Timing Priority of Contradictive Effects Effects that require Special Conditions Amount of Times an Effect can be Played, and Effects that have Restrictions on Targets Fixed Effects Effects that Activate Outside of Free Timing 'End of Return Step', and 'End of Turn' Effective Interval of Effects Resolving of Effects If the activated effect is resolved, that effect will be applied. However, for some effects like Auto A effects, the effect will be applied immediately without resolving it. Failure in Resolving of Effects If the chosen target(s) is lost or the conditions are not met at the time of resolving, the effect will fail to resolve and will not be applied. If the effect of a card being played fails to resolve, that card will move to the original owner's Junkyard. Even if it fails in resolving, the Cost paid for playing the effect/card will not be returned. And as the playing of the card has occured, "1 per turn" and/or any other restrictions will also be applied. Unresolved Effects Effects that have activated but have yet to be resolved are known as 'unresolved effects'. Once the effect activates the unresolved effect will not be negated even if the source of the effect leaves the Field. Effects that are "put on hold" There are effects that will only activate at a specific timing (eg. at end of the turn) after the effect resolves. This status of "an effect being resolved and awaiting re-activation" is known as an effect to be 'put on hold'. As these effects have already resolved, in normal cases there will be no way to negate it. And for these effects that target "all ~", the choosing of targets will be done again when the effect re-activates. Effects that Activate and take Effect at the Same Timing If multiple effects activate at the same timing, the attacking player will decide the order in which they activate. In that case it will end up in a Cut, with the first effect being Cut-into by the other effects. Priority of Contradictive Effects If there are multiple continuous effects (eg. Auto A) that is the opposite of the other (in terms of the effect) and happen simultaneously, in normal cases the effect to take place later will have priority; but in the case that, under the same circumstances effects that state "get ~" and "lose ~" happen together, the timing where which effect is supposed to happen first will be ignored and the effect with the text "lose ~" will be applied first. And if a card is already under the effect of "lose ~", effects that state "get ~" will not be applied to that card. Effects that require Special Conditions Effects that state "if you ~ (do something)" or "when ~ happens" cannot be played if the condition is not met. If the condition is not met at the time of effect resolution, the effect will fail to resolve. Amount of Times an Effect can be Played, and Effects that have Restrictions on Targets If there are multiple cards with effects that state "you can play this 3 times in a turn", you can play the effects up to the limit for each card. Similarly, if there are multiple cards with effects that state "you cannot target the same Unit in a turn" you can target that Unit more than once as long as its not the same card. However, if the text states that "this effect will not be repeated", the above statements will not be valid. Fixed Effects Fixed effects are special effects that will definitely happen in the flow of the game with no relations to playing of cards or text, and cannot be Cut-into. Effects that Activate Outside of Free Timing For effects that happen in timings that cannot be Cut-in, such as end of the turn etc., those effects will be handled in the order they activate. The Attacking player will decide the order in which they will activate. However if effects that need to be resolved in a new Cut (eg. Auto C effects) are activated, all other effects will be resolved normally before activating that effect. End of Return Step and End of Turn As these 2 happen at the same time, effects that take effect during Battle Phase end at the same timing as effects that last until the end of the turn. Effective Interval of Effects As long as its unstated, all effects that happen will only last until the end of that turn and will not be carried over to the next turn. The effects will be negated at the same time the turn ends. Effects that are put on hold are treated in the same way. For effects that require special conditions to activate, those effects will only activate in that one turn if the conditions are met. The effect will not activate even if the conditions are met in the previous turn or the next turn. |
