Confusion


Recommended Posts

My friend Cameron wants to know if you can activate a effect monster's effect when it is attacked in face down position, but it's effect is not a flip-effect.

The card is Dark Resonator
The effect states:Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)

Effects that prevent destruction in battle apply even when attacked while facedown. The reason is because (aside from most, if not all, being Continuous) a monster flips faceup during Damage Calculation, at which point the monster is faceup and its effect can be applied. However, evidently ths doesn't work with Clock Resonator, because it specifically states it has to be faceup, and being attacked while facedown does not apply such effects.
