Question 2

If 2 Digimon including a Digimon that has an "effects don't affect" effect are chosen for a "may battle" effect, can those Digimon battle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can battle. A card that has an "effects don't affect" effect can still be chosen for an effect. In addition, a battle itself is a rule that compares DP, not an effect.

If an effect that activates another effect one time "for every XX" can activate multiple types of effects multiple times, can I activate the same effect multiple times and/or activate different effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can.

Question 6

If an effect that activates another effect one time "for every XX" can activate multiple types of effects multiple times, how is the effect activation order determined?
