Keyword Effect <Armor Purge>
| No | Question | Answer |
| 1 | Does [Discard 1 card from the top of this Digimon stack] mean to discard the top most evolution source card? | No, instead of evolution source, you discard the top most card of the Digimon, the same way that you would when <Devolve> happens. After activating <Armor Purge>, the top most card that was in the evolution sources before will then become the Digimon |
| 2 | Does a Digimon's [When Destroyed] effect activate from activating <Armor Purge>? | No, as the Digimon that activated <Armor Purge> was not destroyed, [When Destroyed] effects do not activate |
| 3 | If the card that was discarded by <Armor Purge> had received effects, does the Digimon that remain keep those effects? | Effects that lasts for a specified time period like [For the turn] will continue to take effect. Effects like that target [All of your Digimon] or [All of your opponent's Digimon] or [All Digimon] will also continue to take effect for the Digimon after activating <Armor Purge> |
| If the card that was discarded by <Armor Purge> had an effect that does not fit the above descriptions (an effect that specifies how long the effect lasts), those effects are lost due to the card itself being no longer in play | ||
| 4 | What happens if a Digimon activates <Armor Purge> when it is to be destroyed due to having 0DP? | <Armor Purge> will discard the top most card of the stack to prevent its own destruction, however if the DP minus effects continue to take effect on the Digimon afterwards, it is still destroyed for having 0DP |
| 5 | If a Digimon with <Armor Purge> has no evolution sources due to other effects or other reasons, can it still activate <Armor Purge>? | No, a Digimon without evolution sources at all cannot activate <Armor Purge> |
| 6 | If my Digimon with <Armor Purge> that has <Security Attack +1> performs its Security Check and loses the battle against the Security Digimon in its first check, and I activate <Armor Purge> to prevent its destruction, do I continue performing the 2nd check? | Yes, you continue to Check with the Digimon after activating <Armor Purge>. However, if that Digimon does not have <Security Attack +1> anymore after activating <Armor Purge>, you are unable to perform the 2nd check and that attack ends |
| 7 | If a Digimon with <Retaliation> and <Armor Purge> loses a battle with a Digimon, and I activate <Armor Purge> to stop it from being destroyed, does <Retaliation> activate? | No, since that Digimon was not destroyed due to the activation of <Armor Purge>, the requirement of <when this Digimon is destroyed in battle> of <Retaliation> was not met, so it does not activate |
| 8 | My opponent's Digimon with <Piercing> attacked my Digimon, and my Digimon lost the battle. I then activate my Digimon's <Armor Purge> to prevent it from being destroyed. What happens to my opponent's <Piercing>? | As the requirement of <when this Digimon attacks and destroys your opponent's Digimon in battle and survive> of <Piercing> was not met, it does not activate |
| 9 | Can a Digimon with only a LV2 card in its evolution sources activate <Armor Purge>? | Yes, it can. However since LV2 Digimon cannot be in the Battle Area, that Digimon is discarded after activating <Armor Purge> |
| 10 | What happens a Digimon with a Tamer card in its evolution source activates <Armor Purge, and that Tamer card becomes the top most card of the stack? | It will become a Tamer at that point of time. However the tamer is not considered as being played |
