Q: Is TEPPEN a P2W (Pay to Win) game?
A: No, players are able to use "F2P" (free to play) currencies such as Zenny or Souls to acquire specific cards. All Heroes and their Hero Arts are unlocked by default. However, it's important to note that not all f2p players may be able to own all meta decks at once, since Legendary Cards sometimes were too expensive to craft with Souls.
Q: What does "TEPPEN" mean?
A: "TEPPEN" means "to the top" or "summit" in Japanese, for this reason, a lot of times in TEPPEN events, players are seen pointing upwards in pictures.
Q: I encountered a bug or a glitch in my game, where do I report it?
A: Official support is no longer available since the game went offline. The following link was used for support during the game's run: https://web.archive.org/web/20251101044027/https://teppenthegame.com/en/info/contact.html

Gameplay[]
Q: What is the current meta?
A: You may want to join the teppencommunity discord or see #TEPPEN_DECK to have meta discussions with other players.
Q: What is [ability]?
A: Please see the following link: Abilities.
Q: Why do some cards have a "burning" effect on them?
A: The burning animation on a card means that it is Ascended.
Q: What is the "attack gauge"?
A: The attack gauge is the moving arrow/bar coming out of a Unit Card, blue for ally Units, red for enemy Units.
Q: How do I check the count of an ability?
A: Some cards can only perform something if your "count" is at a set number. For example, Unleashed (DON 022) will only give Flight to a friendly Unit Card if your "Explore" count is at 3 or higher. There are two ways to know the count of something:
- By tapping the card which needs the count to be at a certain number to perform a specific action.
- By tapping at your Hero, which will then display your Hero Art's effect and the count needed. Do note that just like the cards, only Hero Arts which need a count in the first play will display it on the text.
Q: I tried to play an Action Card but it did not work!
A: Certain Action Cards can only be played under a certain condition. Make sure to read the Action Card's description to see what the condition is. For example, Unforeseen Interference (COR 117) cannot be played unless your opponent plays an Action Card first.
Q: Why did my Unit Card just suddenly get killed?
A: Sometimes things in TEPPEN can happen too quickly. If one of your Unit Cards got killed immediately out of nowhere, make sure to tap any enemy Unit Cards to see what their effects are. For example, the effect of Lady (COR 024) reads "When played: Deals 6 damage split among all enemy units.", as such, this card can potentially immediately one shot your Unit Cards when the opponent plays it.
Q: Why do I keep playing against a person named "Stranger" all the time?
A: "Stranger" is the default name given to players if they have not set a name or if the player chooses to not show their screen name to others.
Q: What is a "Giant Killer Challenge"?
A: Please see the following link: Ranked Match.
Q: Can I complete Missions in Room Matches?
A: Yes, if the mission states "against another player", then you can complete it in Room Matches, Free Play, Ranked, etc.
Q: What are the rewards given for leveling up [Hero]?
A: Please see the following link: Level Up Rewards. The level from Heroes Offline version.
Q: What is the maximum level of a Hero?
A: 50 for all Heroes.
Q: Can I build a deck with more than one color?
A: Yes, but the maximum MP will be decreased. Please see the following link for further information: How to Play.
The effect from Golden Cards and Secret Cards.
Q: What are Golden Cards?
A: Golden Cards are an alternate version of an already existing card that feature a special effect over them. The Golden version still acts as a duplicate of the original card, so a deck cannot have x3 of the default card and x3 of the Golden version in a deck.
Q: What are Secret Cards?
A: Secret Cards are an alternate version of an already existing card. These cards feature an alt illustration, with it usually being animated. The Secret version still acts as a duplicate of the original card, so a deck cannot have x3 of the default card and x3 of the Secret version. All Secret Cards have the same effect as Golden Cards. Five Secret Cards (Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Jujudormah-Ran, Shadow Lady, Mech Zangie-F, and My Hero Claire) have different names from their default versions, but they still count as the same card.
Q: I know my opponent is using a deck with two or more colors but they have played a card with an MP cost that's higher than their limit, how is that possible?
A: While the game gives a warning that you are using a card with an MP cost above the limit, there are still ways to force it into play, such as using False Throne (COR 175) followed by Rebirth (DON 099).
Q: What are Tour Points?
A: Please see the following link: Tour Points.
Interactions[]
Q: Does the effect of Forbidden Fruit (TDA 100) go away if I Seal it?
A: Yes.
Q: What happens if I use Liberating Slash (TDA 025) on a card which is under the effect of Forbidden Fruit (TDA 100)?
A: The Hero who owns the card will take -9 damage.
Q: Does the effect of Blood Destiny (COR 180) persist if I use Brainwashed (COR 135) on it?
A: Yes.
Q: I have used Wire Snatch (NERO 013) but my Unit Card was still hit/destroyed/halted/etc.
A: Wire Snatch (NERO 013) will only move the Unit Card to a different slot, it will not stop Action Cards or abilities from interacting with the card in the question. The only ability that would miss is the one related to "the unit in front", such as Experiment Records (WESKER 012).
Q: Does Spillover trigger when hitting the Hero?
A: No.
Q: Does Spillover trigger Decimate when defeating a unit that is not in front?
A: No.
Q: What happens if I use Liberating Slash (TDA 025) on Sengoku Titan Tadakatsu (BOA 039)?
A: Sengoku Titan Tadakatsu (BOA 039) will be halted, and the targeted Hero will gain +9 Life.
Slang, abbreviations, and glossary[]
Q: What does red/green/purple/black mean?
A: Red, Green, Purple and Black are the Elements in TEPPEN.
Q: What are the letters and numbers that may appear with a card's name?

While Overture is a slang term given to Devil Breaker, a Hero Art of Nero which shows him using his "Overture" Devil Breaker from Devil May Cry 5. Players often use abbreviations to mention Hero Arts, these are not the only ones that exist. Note that abbreviations can refer to different things depending on the context, like DD being either the Demon Dogfight set or the Dark Destruction Hero Art.
Q: What does 1s/2s/3s/4s, etc. mean?
A: Players often mention a group of cards by calling out their MP cost. Certain decks are also built upon these numbers, which causes the slang "Fourrigan" to exist, for example.
Q: What does "Fourrigan" mean?
A: "Fourrigan" means any decks which consists of Morrigan Aensland and mostly cards with a 4 MP cost. Similar slangs also exist.
Q: What does "Yawn-Li" mean?

A: "Mana" is a slang term for MP (Mirage Particles).
Q: What does "Battery" and "Mana Battery" mean?
A: "Battery" and "Mana Battery" are slang terms for cards with the MP Boost ability.
Q: What does "Burn" mean?
A: Besides the Burn ability, Burn may be used as a slang in conversations to refer to a Deck that focuses on dealing damage directly at the enemy's opponent via the usage of cards like Sneak Attack (COR 035), Bit (HBM 006), Agent's Memories (HBM 025), etc.
Wiki-Related[]
Q: Who made this wiki?
A: User:BSHK808
Q: Is this wiki affiliated with GungHo/Capcom?
A: No.
Q: There is something wrong with a page...
A: If you find something wrong, or something that requires an update, then you can always edit and fix the page yourself. Some pages are protected so that only registered users may edit, if the page you want to edit has that requirement then you must log in or create an account to edit it.
If the problem is unrelated to the content within the page itself, then there may be something wrong with FANDOM, if this is the case, then simply wait until the problem fixes itself, or contact FANDOM to let them know what is wrong, because the TEPPEN Wiki cannot do anything at that point.
Q: How can I help?
A: You do not need to help the wiki, but if you wish to do so, you may want to see the categories under the site maintenance category, they will list pages that need some type of edit.
If you wish to create a new page, it's recommended for you to see the layout guide first so that it fits the style of the wiki.

Can I quit during the middle of a battle?
From the “Options” button at the top left of the battle screen, you can select “Forfeit” to forfeit the match. If you forfeit the match, it will be treated as a defeat.
NEW PACK TICKET cannot be used.
NEW PACK TICKET is a ticket than can be exchanged for packs sold at a later date.
When the corresponding pack goes on sale, they will automatically change to that pack’s ticket and become usable.
Until the pack goes on sale, they cannot be used.

Hero Skins that change the character, like the Extra Skin Phoenix Wright, will have the wins of the original Hero counted in the rankings.
Stats by Hero Rankings is only updated at certain times.
It may take some time before the current Battle Records are reflected in the rankings.
Questions About the Rules[]
What happens when my deck has 0 cards remaining?
You can still play cards from your hand, but you cannot draw any more cards. Even if your deck has no cards remaining, the battle will continue until one player’s Life goes down to 0, or the battle time expires.
A unit with <Veil> received an effect
<Veil> is an ability where the unit cannot be “targeted” by an effect, so the unit will still receive effects that do not select specific targets.
Examples of such effects are “1 damage to all enemy units,” “1 damage to 1 random enemy unit,” and “Divide 3 damage between enemy units.”
Where in the deck will cards returned to the deck through <Revenge> be placed?
The cards are returned to random places within the deck.
What happens to the attack preparation time of a unit with <Agility> when you inflict it with <Slow>?
The unit will then have both <Agility> and <Slow>, which will cancel each other’s effects out and return the unit to normal attack preparation time.
Using Hero Arts like Genesis to add cards explored during battle to the EX Pocket
Only cards that you have explored for can be put into your EX Pocket.
Even if an explored card is removed, it can still be added into your EX Pocket.
Multiples of the same card can also be added to your EX Pocket.
When a unit on the field is granted an ability, what happens when that unit is removed from the field?
Abilities applied to units after they enter the field are reset when that unit is removed from the field.
How do I level up units with the <Growth> ability?
Unit Cards with the <Growth> ability level up when they reach a certain amount of Growth Points. They can also gain new effects.
When a Unit Card with the <Growth> ability is in play, playing another Unit Card from your hand or EX Pocket into an open board slot will grant Growth Points equal to the amount of MP consumed.
- If a card’s MP cost is not paid when playing it to the field via Hero Arts or an effect, Growth Points will not be granted.
The amount of Growth Points required to level up once vary from card to card.
Deck Elements (Colors)
The element of the Hero set to your deck is also included in your deck’s elements.
For example: If you set the black element Hero, Albert Wesker, as your hero and add green element cards to your deck, your deck will then become a two-color deck, with your Max MP becoming 5.
New cards that are elements not originally in your deck have been added to your deck during battle. Does your Max MP change during battle if your deck’s elements (colors) increase?
Your Max MP will not change if new cards of a different element are added to your deck during battle.
If a unit whose stats were modified with an ability is then sealed, will its stats be reverted back to its original stats?
Stats of units whose stats were modified will not be reverted back to their original value when they are inflicted with Seal.
Just like the following examples, units whose stats were modified through a temporary effect who are then inflicted with Seal, the effect causing the modification of its stats will be removed.
Example: Colonel (COR 022)
Card effect:
When on the field: Gives a friendly red unit other than itself +1 Attack and ＜Rush＞.
Increasing Your Memory Count
Your Memory Count increases at the end of each Active Response for each of your Action Cards that resolved.
MP Charge Speed
MP will charge at 100% speed if unaltered. However, through ＜MP Boost＞ and MP Charge Speed Down effects, that charge speed can be increased or decreased.
For example: If ＜MP Boost: 20＞ is applied to you, your MP Charge Speed will be increased to 120%. Then, following that, if you have an MP Charge Speed Down 30% effect added to you, your total MP Charge Speed will be 90%.
＜MP Boost＞ and MP Charge Speed Down effects stack, and only the active effects will take effect.
MP Charge Speed Down effects do stack, with the lowest MP Charge Speed being 0%.
Dealing Damage
▼ Instances When No Damage Will Be Dealt
Damage will not be dealt when a unit with 0 Attack attacks, counter attacks, or when certain Action Cards are used and 1 or more damage is not dealt. Because no damage was dealt, "Taking damage," "Increased damage taken," or other effects that activate when damage is taken will not activate. ＜Shield＞ will also not be lost.
▼ Instances When Damage Will Be Dealt
Damage will be dealt when a unit with 1 Attack or higher attacks, counter attacks, or when certain Action Cards are used and 1 or more damage is dealt. This will cause effects that activate when damage is taken to activate.
- ”Attack Damage +” and “Counter Damage +” effects are not included in effects that activate when damage is taken and are applied when attacking or counterattacking respectively.
About the limited frequency effects that will be affected by the Seal effect
▼ Limited frequency effects that will be affected by the Seal effect.
“＜Combo＞ (Effective for 1 attack.)” and “＜Spillover＞ (Effective for 1 attack.)” effects that grant a unit an ability with a limited number of uses and “Destroy this unit after 1 attack.” will be Sealed.
▼ Limited frequency effects that will not be affected by the Seal effect.
“Attack +1 (Effective for 1 attack.)” and “Attack -1 (Effective for 1 attack.)” effects that grant a unit an ability with a limited number of uses will not be Sealed.
If there are two Unit Cards in your Graveyard with the same name that belong to different packs, such as “X (X 008)” and “X (HBM 026),” how many different types of Unit Cards are in your Graveyard?
Each card is counted as one type, so there would be two different types in total.
Questions About Card Effects[]
Action Cards that target other Action Cards
When you play an Action Card that targets an opponent’s Action Card, the target will be the last Action Card that your opponent played.
The Effect of “Utsusemi Technique (COR 127)"
"Utsusemi Technique" has the effect of changing the target of an Action Card randomly, so it is an effect without a specific target. Therefore, even if the randomly selected target has <Veil>, it will receive the effect.
The Effect of “Advanced Artifact X (COR 070)”
The card effects of “Advanced Artifact X" are as follows:
Decimate: Gain the ability of the defeated unit. (Once only.)
(Decimate = Triggered when defeating an enemy unit with an attack or counter.)
Thus, “Advanced Artifact X“ gains the abilities of said enemy unit at the time it was defeated. Therefore, if the defeated unit is in a “Seal” or "Halt" state at the time of its defeat, “Advanced Artifact X“ will also inherit those states.
The ability gained by “Advanced Artifact X” is lost when it leaves the field.
About the effect of "Monstrous Virus (DON 075)"
Monstrous Virus’s effect is not that it can only affect each Hero once, rather once a Hero has had its effect placed on them, they cannot use Monstrous Virus again.
For Action Cards with effects that change depending on the number of times you play certain cards, at what point does the game read the play count?
When you play an Action Card like “State of Nothingness (DON 025)“ whose effect changes depending on how many times you’ve played certain other cards, the game uses the count at the time the Action Card is played.
Example: State of Nothingness
Card effect: Gives a friendly unit +1 Attack for each time you used an Action Card during this battle.
1. Play Action Cards twice
2. Play “State of Nothingness“ and go into Active Response
>> You’ve played two Action Cards at this point, so the final effect is +2 Attack.
3. Play an Action Card during Active Response
>> You’ve now played three Action Cards, but this doesn’t affect State of Nothingness.
4. Active Response effect resolution
- Action Cards activate in order from the last card played
- The Action Card from step 3 activates
- “State of Nothingness“ from step 2 activates, awarding +2 Attack
For Action Cards with effects that change depending on the number of times you use other moves, at what point does the game read the usage count?
When you play an Action Card like “Bladescale Storm (DON 021)“ whose effect changes depending on how many times you’ve made certain other moves (e.g. Explore), the game uses the count at the time the card’s effect activates.
Example: Bladescale Storm
Card effect: Deals 3 damage to a random enemy unit.
If your Explore count is 3 or higher, deals 4 damage to all enemy units instead.
1. Explore 2 times
2. Play “Bladescale Storm“ and go into Active Response
>> You’ve explored twice at this point, so the effect is “deal 3 damage to a random enemy unit”
3. Play an exploring card during Active Response
4. Active Response effect resolution
- Action Cards activate in order from the last card played
- The card from step 3 activates, bringing the Explore count to 3
- You’ve now explored three times, so when “Bladescale Storm“ from step 2 activates, the resulting effect is “4 damage to all enemy units”
Card copying
All copied cards retain the core stats of the original card. Any effects or abilities added to the original are not copied over.
About giving enemy units -n Attack
A unit cannot have less than 0 Attack.
Effects that decrease Attack will be applied to the current Attack.
For example, if a unit that has an Attack increase from ＜Coordination＞ or “Celestial Envoy’s Miracle (Amaterasu’s Hero Art)” receives an Attack decrease from an effect, the effect decrease will be subtracted from the values increased by “Celestial Envoy’s Miracle” or ＜Coordination＞.
Example: “Celestial Envoy’s Miracle”
Hero Art Effect: Your Hero gains “All friendly red units gain +1 Attack.”
“Reduce a Card’s MP” Effect
A card’s MP cost cannot go below 1.
What Happens When You Use Utsusemi Technique (COR 127) on a “Negate a Card Effect” Effect
Because “Negate a card’s effect” effect can only target the previous Action Card used before it, using Utsusemi Technique will not change its original target.
What Happens When You Use Utsusemi Technique (COR 127) on an Action Card Effect With Multiple Effects
If 1 card has multiple effects, Utsusemi Technique will change the target of all effects.
Place a Unit in the Same Board Slot Death Effects
If another unit is in the same board slot when the unit is destroyed, its effect will not activate.
For example: A unit with that effect which triggers on Death is on the field, and then a unit with <Ascended> is placed on top of it. Because a unit already exists in that board slot, its Death effect will not trigger and the unit will not be placed on the board.
Decimate Effects
Decimate effects will only trigger when your opponent’s unit is destroyed through an attack or counter, and your unit survives.
- Destroying opponent's units through damaging card effects that trigger when attacking or countering do not trigger Decimate.
Deviljho’s (TFS 088) Effect
“When an enemy unit is placed on the field: Move this unit to the front of the enemy unit.” effect still activates even if the enemy unit that is placed on the field is destroyed as it is placed on the field.
Reducing Life Lost When Sacrificing Life
Aside from “Immune to Life sacrifice effects” effects, life lost through Sacrifice effects cannot be reduced.
“When a Friendly Unit With Explore Explores” Effects
If a unit with multiple instances of Explore ever Explores, each instance of Explore will activate.
Even units that have activation conditions for Explore that aren’t When played will still Explore regardless if those conditions have been met or not.
For example: If you use Bushinryu Awakening (DON 023) on Cody (TDA 014), Explore will activate 3 times.
Example: Cody
Card effect:
When played: Explore for Hidden Knife.
Decimate: Explore for Hidden Knife.
Death: Explore for Hidden Knife.
Example: Bushinryu Awakening
Card effect:
A friendly unit with Explore uses Explore. Obtained card gets MP cost -1.(MP costs cannot drop below 1.)
“Damage Taken By This Unit is Taken by Your Hero Instead” Effects
Damage that your Hero takes when a friendly unit with the "Damage taken by this unit is taken by your Hero instead" effect is not altered due to the stats or abilities of that unit. The damage will be equal to the enemy unit’s Attack.
For example: If the unit has effects such as “Nullify damage” or “Reduce incoming damage to 1,” the damage your Hero takes will not be 0 or 1, it will be equal to the Attack of the attacking or countering enemy unit.
Unit ＜Memory＞ Effects
In a single battle, if your count of resolved Action Cards are equal to or greater than the ＜Memory＞ count listed on a card or a Hero Art, then their effect will activate when they are placed on the field.
However, Action Cards that place units on the field do not count towards those units Memory Count.
For example: If your Memory Count is currently at 3, and Cody (HBM 010) with the ＜Memory＞: 4 ability is placed on the field via Summon Minions (COR 164), because putting Cody onto the field is part of Summon Minions’ effect, your Memory Count does not increase until after the effect resolves, resulting in Cody’s ＜Memory＞: 4 ability to not trigger.
Example: Cody
Card Effect:
＜Memory＞: 4
Deal 3 damage split among all enemy units.
Example: Summon Minions
Card Effect:
Sacrifices 2 Life.
Places a unit in your deck that costs 4 MP or less on the field.
Attacking Effects
Attacking effects happen before dealing damage to a unit or Hero.
So if a unit with the effect: “Attacking: Expends -2 HP” were at 2 HP or less and they were to attack something, their HP would drop to 0 before dealing any damage to the opponent’s unit or Hero and it would be destroyed.
Memory Count Shown on Cards
If a card has an effect that puts units on the field with the ＜Memory＞ ability, the Memory Count will be shown.
For example: Sherry Birkin (HBM 034) doesn’t have a ＜Memory＞ effect, but the card Mercenary by Blood (T047) which is put into play through her “When played” does have a ＜Memory＞ effect, so Memory Count will be displayed.
Example: Sherry Birkin
Card Effect:
When played: Places one Mercenary by Blood on the field.
When placed on the field: Gains "Gain +1 HP every 5 seconds"
Example: Mercenary by Blood
Card Effect:
＜Memory＞: 4
Gains +2 Attack and ＜Shield＞.
Skulduggery’s (TDA 072) Effect
Skulduggery’s effect doesn’t take into account the card’s use or resolution order. If the Active Response it is being used in has 3 or more Action Cards being used (including Skulduggery), then its effect will activate.
Additionally, even if other cards have been negated, the amount of cards used will not be reduced.
Natural Cycle’s (TFS 050) Effect
Natural Cycle’s effect will happen in the following order.
1. All players return all cards in their hands, EX Pocket, and Graveyard to their respective decks and shuffle them.
2. All players draw 5 cards.
3. If 25 or more cards were returned to the deck in step 1, then all units in the deck of the player who played Natural Cycle gain +1/+1.
4. The played Natural Cycle is then removed from the game.
Banbaro’s (ATH 008) Effect
Friendly units that take damage through its “Deal 2 damage to all other friendly Monster units” effect will gain HP +4.
- Units that have a ＜Shield＞ and don’t have their HP lowered through “Deal 2 damage to all other friendly Monster units” will still gain HP +4.
Effects that Check Deck Card Counts
Effects that check deck card counts will check at the timing listed below.
- Unit Cards
Unit Cards check deck card counts right before they’re placed onto the field when they’re played from your hand.
For example: When you play Ndesu (ATH 082) with 16 cards in your deck, its effect, “When played: If your deck has 15 or less cards, gain +1/+2” will not activate.
Example: Ndesu
Card Effect:
＜Revenge＞: +1/+2.
When played: If your deck has 15 or less cards, gain +1/+2.
- Action Cards
Action Cards will check deck counts after the Active Response has finished and at the time your Action Card resolves.
For example: If you use Return of the Heretics (ATH 100) when you have 6 cards in your deck, by using this card you will draw a card from your deck and its count will be reduced by 1. If Return of the Heretics resolves, then at the time of resolution, you will have 5 cards in your deck and the “If your deck has 5 or less cards in it” effect will resolve.
Example: Return of the Heretics
Card Effect:
Return 2 black units from your graveyard to your EX Pocket with their MP costs halved (rounded up.)
If your deck has 5 or less cards in it, give those units +2/+2.
Death’s Executioner’s (ATH 098) Effect
Death’s Executioner’s “If your deck has 10 or less cards in it” effect will check your deck’s card count once it’s first effect “Send 3 cards from your deck that don’t have ＜Revenge＞ active to the graveyard” has happened.
For example: If at the time you use Death’s Executioner you have 14 cards in your deck, two things will happen. First you will draw a card because you used a card. Then its effect will happen, sending 3 cards from your deck to your graveyard. If these events happen, then you will have 10 cards left in your deck at the time Death’s Executioner checks your deck’s card count and it’s “If your deck has 10 or less cards in it” effect will activate.
Hourglass
Effects that are active for a set amount of time, or card effects or Hero Arts that have time limits to them will have a timer display.
The color of the timer will change depending on the effect that it is timing. The corresponding color and meaning is as follows.
- Red
An effect that deals damage.
- Green
An effect that restores.
- Orange
Other types of effects.
Demon King Oda Nobunaga's (TOA 092) Effect
Demon King Oda Nobunaga's effect "＜Revenge＞: Gain Attack and HP equal to their respective values when this unit died." calculates at the time the unit is destroyed. So if Demon King Oda Nobunaga is destroyed through damage, it's HP is calculated as 0, and only its Attack will be added.
Additionally, the “unit destroyed by this unit’s ＜Ascended＞ ability” is the unit in which Demon King Oda Nobunaga is placed on.
- Destroyed units through Hero Arts effects like Raging Demon are not applicable.
＜Indestructible＞ Units
Destroy effects like the Action Card “Obliteration (COR 176)” or the Hero Art Dark Destruction do not affect units with ＜Indestructible＞.
Damage done through attacks or through card effects will destroy the unit when its HP reaches 0.
About “When your Hero gains life” Effects
“When your Hero gains life” effects, will only trigger when your Hero’s life is less than 30.

Usage of Action Cards and Damage-Dealing Enhancing Effects
The damage-dealing enhancing effects that “Leon S. Kennedy (COR 021)” and “Ashley Graham (HBM 001)” have will be applied to Action Cards when they are used.

About the “Sample Collection (WESKER 009)” Effect
“Sample Collection”’s effect destroys a random friendly unit and a random enemy unit. It can still be used even if you don’t have a friendly unit on your field.
“Experiment Records (WESKER 012)” and “Just Deserts (COR 171)” both have the condition of “Destroys a friendly unit”, and so if there is no friendly unit on the field, it cannot be used, and if there is no friendly unit on the field when it resolves, it does not activate.
“Chosokabe Motochika (BOA 035)” Effect
The effect “While on the field: Give all Machine units in your hand and EX Pocket -1 MP. (MP costs cannot drop below 1.)” only reduces the MP of the target unit cards while they’re in your hand or EX Pocket.

For example, if there is a 9 MP unit with 7 HP and a 4 MP unit with 5 HP on your opponent’s field, the “Deal 1 damage to a random enemy unit on the field with the highest MP cost,” effect will trigger onto the 9 MP unit seven times, and after it dies from the seventh trigger, the remaining two times will target the 4 MP unit.
“Ada Wong (ADAW 008)” Effect

"Steel Samurai Show's (AVP 022)" Effect
If the effect “Switch the Attack of 1 friendly unit and the unit in front” causes a unit to switch Attack that is affected with a temporary effect such as "Attack +1. (Effective for 1 attack.)," the modified Attack will be switched.
However, the “(Effective for 1 attack.)” effect will not be transferred. The Attack of the unit that received the “(Effective for 1 attack.)” effect will be the switched Attack plus the modified amount of Attack from the "(Effective for 1 attack.)" effect.
For example, when the Attack of Unit A (1 Attack) and the Attack of Unit B (5 Attack including a "+2 Attack (Effective for 1 attack.)" effect) are swapped, Unit A’s Attack will become "5." Unit B’s Attack will become Unit A’s original Attack "1" plus the "+2 Attack (Effective for 1 attack.)" effect to become "3 Attack" for one attack, then it will revert to "1 Attack."

Additionally, if Maggey Byrde is destroyed through the ＜Heavy Pierce＞ damage that is taken in place of the Hero and the unit that dealt the ＜Heavy Pierce＞ has Decimate, both the original unit that was destroyed and Maggey Byrde will count towards Decimate and it will activate twice.
- Even if Maggey Byrde is destroyed through the ＜Heavy Pierce＞ damage received in place of the Hero, no ＜Heavy Pierce＞ damage will be done to the Hero.
"Pierce Damage" and "Maggey Byrde (AVP 057)" Effects
If units other than Maggey Byrde are destroyed by Pierce Damage, the damage from “after defeating an enemy unit, any excess damage is dealt to the enemy Hero” will be taken by Maggey Byrde via the “While on the field: This unit receives all damage that your Hero would receive,” effect.
Additionally, if that damage destroys Maggey Byrde, the HP of the attacked and destroyed unit and Maggey Byrde will be subtracted from the original Pierce Damage and dealt to the Hero.
For example, if a 3 HP unit and a 1 HP Maggey Byrde are on the field, and the 3 HP unit receives 6 Pierce Damage, the damage dealt to the Hero is 2.
"Danger Zone Report's (AVP 095)" Effect
If multiple Danger Zone Reports are played, the “double all damage this unit receives” effect will activate that many times.
