Question 1

I tried to delete 1 of my other Digimon using this card's inherited effect when an opponent's Digimon attacked, but I couldn't delete the other Digimon due to another effect. Can I end that attack at such times?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't end that attack. If the "by doing X" condition isn't met, the rest of the effect isn't processed. In this case, if you can't delete 1 of your other Digimon, then you can't end the attack.

Question 2

What does "end the attack" mean, exactly?

Accepted Answer

After this effect activates, the current timing makes a transition to the end of attack timing. For example, if this effect activates during the attack declaration timing, it will make a transition to the end of attack timing. A transition to the counter timing or block timing won't occur, and the attack won't succeed.

Question 3

Can an "end the attack" effect end an attack by a Digimon that isn't affected by effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, such attacks can be ended. "End the attack" effects are effects that change the timing, they don't affect an attacking Digimon.

Question 4

If a Digimon's attack is ended by an "end the attack" effect, can [Counter] effects activate?

Accepted Answer

No, they can't.  If an effect that ends the attack activates, the end of attack timing comes immediately. A transition to the counter timing won't occur, therefore a [Counter] effect can't be activated.

Question 5

Do [End of Attack] effects activate if I activate this card's inherited effect and end the attack from an opponent's Digimon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it activates.
