Q&A Rulings
- Q: What happens to the ATK/DEF of "Giganticastle" if it is Synchro Summoned while the effect of "Skill Drain" is applying? Also, what happens to the ATK/DEF of "Giganticastle" if the effect of "Skill Drain" is applied after it is Synchro Summoned?
- A: The effect of "Giganticastle" is a Continuous Effect. When the effect of "Skill Drain" is applied to "Giganticastle", its effect that increases its ATK/DEF is not applied, and its ATK and DEF return to their original values. (The same is true if the effect of "Skill Drain" is applied after "Giganticastle" is Synchro Summoned.) Afterward, if the effect of "Skill Drain" stops applying, the effect of "Giganticastle" will not be applied again.[2][3]
- Q: If "Giganticastle" is Synchro Summoned using 3 copies of "Phantom King Hydride", how much ATK does it gain by its own effect?
- A: In this case, the Synchro Summon was performed using 1 "Phantom King Hydride" treated as a Tuner and 2 copies of "Phantom King Hydride" treated as non-Tuners. Therefore, "Giganticastle" gains 400 ATK.[4]
