Wait let me get this straight any spell/trap that increases atk or def can be activated during damage step right like mirror, metalmorph, half shut, reinforcement. Cards like twister, econ, order to charge cant be activated during damage step, only declared phase/battle phase right? But sometime i have no monster on the field and my opp atk me directly theres no battle phase though only declared phase. Sometime i wait after declared phase for battle phase but it wont show up for certain cards.
Also i have a question when relinquishrd does his recoil attack does it count as a draw if we both have low lp. For ex my opp has 250 lp i have 300 and reliq, my opp atk my reliq i lose all my lp so does he cuz of the recoil. Is it a draw? Theres another scenerio i was in forgot how it went but it similar situation.
If your life points become zero the effect of reliq will not activate, so you will lose the duel. A draw game only occurs if a burn effect that leave both players with zero lp at the same time ir used (for example: ring of destruction). a draw also occur if both players reach exodia in hand at the same time (cards like hand destruction can make it, but its extremely rare)
i mean you can get draw with relinq recoil if your opponent steals your monster with relinq you attacked relinq and you have lethal on him but he has lethal on you too if you destroy his relinq its a draw.
Yes ive gotten a draw this way my Opp had more hp then me i attacked his monster and it was a draw but i still ranked down so i guess it counts as a lost
