Is this a bug or intended? I attacked my opponent, when he used this card on my second monster (I had two monsters on the field). Opponent's monster left the field. My second monster lost the attack, but the first monster stopped attacking and just missed his turn.

*lost the attack points

So the attack of my first monster was totally blocked and I want to know why I could not attack my opponent directly when his monster left the field.

Because it was activated in the damage step.

So that lol?

In situations like this, the game usually asks if I want to continue the attack.

My opponent's monster left the field, so it should have been allowed to attack the opponent directly instead.

He stopped two of my monsters with one card.

It is too good

Yep, precisely activated during the damage step by putting the effect activation toggle to ON :
you will not be asked to choose if you want to continue the attack, essentially negating the attack.

If so, I hope they will limit this card soon. It is too broken in the form in which it is

But this is not the case, for example, when you attack an Amazoness monster and another appears due to Onslaught effect.
The game allows you to continue the attack, and even asks if you want to change the target. What is the difference? It is Damage Step in both cases
Regardless of what you say this card is ridiculously broken and should be limited

This card directly alter ATK/DEF, which mean it can be activated during damage step. Replay won't happen if it is activated this way.

Amazoness Onslaught does not directly alter ATK/DEF, so it cannot be activated during damage step. The effect usually activated between attack declaration and damage step. Since the timing is before damage step, replay is possible.

Ah, wait. Just checked. Apparently Onslaught cannot be activated during damage step because it does not target (or so it says in wikia)

It's not because it doesn't target, that was a separate note from the note saying it cannot be activated in Damage Step.

Onslaught's effect cannot be activated during Damage Step because the ATK gain only happens if you Special Summon, and you cannot manually Special Summon during Damage Step.

"Manually" being the keyword here - the Special Summon from hand effect requires manual activation.

The revival effect of Onslaught works during the Damage Step because it's triggered by Onslaught itself, you do not manually activate it.

This is also why SM can SS SMLV8 during Damage Step - it's triggered by SM itself, not by a manual activation.

Battle phrase includes:
1. A monster declares an attack
2. Battle step
3. Damage step (only cards that DIRECTLY alter ATK/DEF)
4. Damage calculation (cards like defense draw, regular bola)

*Replays will never occur during the Damage Step*

If an opponent monster is attacking and you activate World Legacy Clash during battle step rather than damage step, which is a misplay, then REPLAY WILL HAPPEN, and he can choose a new target (if any), attack directly, or not to attack.

Yep, anyone playing this card has to be careful and activate this card during DAMAGE STEP, not Battle Step.

Otherwise, a Replay will occur.

So in my instance I attacked with CyberDark Edge equipped with Cyberdark Cannon and the removed it with WLC, I didn't get to re attack NOR did I get the trigger from Cyberdark Cannon. Why would that be? They should both occur in the same phase right?

<< Anonymous(Zach)

Your opponent is smart and removed your Edge in Damage Step instead of Battle Step, so no Replay for you.

As for Cannon's effect, my guess is that it's the same ruling as when the monster equipped with Cannon is flipped face-down, which causes the monster to be no longer valid to be equipped by Cannon, so Cannon gets sent to the GY without being equipped, as a result, its effect doesn't activate.

*wait, nevermind, I mixed up something.

I'll type the real possibly correct answer soon.

<< Anonymous(Zach)

Anoymous

Zach, a Replay only happens if the number of monster on the OPPONENT's field changes, and only during Battle Step.

My answer about Cannon's effect remains the same as above though, it's likely due to Cannon being sent to the Graveyard in a state where it is no longer equipped, as after the banishing, WLC drops the ATK of the target, so there's a tiny window where Cannon lost its equipped monster.

Gosh!
Why these guys can't understand the difference between BATTLE STEP and DAMAGE STEP? It's one of basic things in this game, and you can learn about it anywhere on the internet. So why?

> you can learn about it anywhere on the internet

you have the right to have a different opinion, but
the game is 🔥 if you need to open wikipedia or youtube pages on the Internet in order to understand what just happened

Actually Duel Links has a built-in wikia about dueling called Duel School. It's not optimized but enough to understand about things like Battle Step and Damage Step.

<< Anonymous

Anoymous

This is misinformation, dueling lessons explain nothing about how you can use World Legacy Clash card to stop 2 monsters of your opponent at once: prevent one from attacking and reduce the attack points of the second

There are also many typos in the card descriptions in different language versions of application

For example, in russian version text description of Block dragon says "cannot be destroyed except by effect" instead of "cannot be destroyed by battle". I had to open the original site just to understand what happened and why I lost

Since it changes attack, world legacy clash can be activated during the damage step. You use it to banish your monster that is being attacked and reduce the attack of a different opponents monster than the one attacking to zero and since your monster left the field during the damage step, the opponent does not get an attack replay and his other monster now has 0 attack, getting rid of two attacks

You can banish your monster that is being attacked during the damage step, which can be done since world legacy clash changes attack points, and since your monster left the field during the damage step, your opponent does not get to pick a new attack target (aka an attack replay), and use world legacy clash to reduce a different monsters attack to 0.
