| IV. Resolving Combat - During the Battle Phase, each Monster in Attack Mode may attack only once. - When a Monster attacks another Monster, the following scenarios may occur... [Attack Vs. Attack] - When a Monster attacks an opposing Monster (also in Attack Mode), their Attack ratings are compared. - The Monster with the lower Attack rating is defeated and sent to it's owner's Graveyard. The difference between both Monster's Attack rating is the damage dealt to the losing Player. Example: Player A's "Blue Eyes White Dragon" (Attack 3000) Vs. Player B's "Black Magician" (Attack 2500) Result: Black Magician is defeated and Player B receives 500 damage (3000 - 2500 = 500). [Attack Vs. Defense] - When a Monster attacks an opposing Monster (in Defense Mode), the attacker's Attack rating is compared to the defender's Defense rating. - If the attacker's Attack rating is greater than that of defender's Defense rating, the defender is defeated and sent to its owner's Graveyard. No damage is dealt to the losing Player this way. Example: Player A's "Black Magician" (Attack 2500) Vs. Player B's "Black Knight Gaia" (Defense 2100) Result: Black Knigth Gaia is defeated and sent to its owner's Graveyard. No changes occur in Player B's LP. - If the attacker's Attack rating is lower than that of defender's Defense rating, the attacking Player receives damage which is equal to the difference between both Monster's Attack/Defense rating. (Neither Monster is destroyed.) Example: Player A's "Flame Swordsman" (Attack 1800) Vs. Player B's "Holy Elf" (Defense 2000) Result: Player A receives 200 damage (2000 - 1800 = 200). Neither Monster is affected. - If the attacker's Attack rating is the same as that of defender's Defense rating, nothing happens. (Neither Player receives any damage and neither Monster is destroyed.) Example: Player A's "Curse of Dragon" (Attack 2000) Vs. Player B's "Holy Elf" (Defense 2000) Result: Nothing happens. [No Monsters in Play] - If the opponent has no Monsters in play, the player may attack him directly for Direct Damage. - The damage dealt is equal to that of the Attacking Monster's Attack rating. Example: Player A has "Red Eyes Black Dragon" in play, but Player B has no Monsters left on the Field. "Red Eyes Black Dragon" (Attack 2400) attackes Player B for Direct Damage. Result: Player B loses 2400 LP. |

(*You cannot activate a Trap Card on the turn it was set on the Field.) - Trap Cards can be activated during your opponent's turn. - Trap Cards are discarded after use (unless otherwise specified). - Various types of Trap Cards have their own Spell Speeds and they follow the Chain Rule when used to intercept other Magic/Trap Cards.
