Forum:5 questions

1) Can continuous effects activate in the middle of a chain? For example: "D.D. Crow" played as chain link 2 or higher while "The End of Anubis" is face-up on the field. Will the "The End of Anubis"s effect activate and negate "D.D. Crow"s effect in the middle of the chain?

2) The ignition effect monsters has to be on the field for their effect to resolve? The same for some trigger effects like "Goyo Guardian"s and "King Tiger Wanghu"s.

3) When an non-chainable effect takes place like a declaration of an attack, is the same as the summoning of a monster, so first, attack negating cards can be activated like "Negate Attack", and then (if not), players can activate spell speed 2 or higher effects in respond to the attack with priority?

4) "Spirit Reaper" attacks directly and he's been targeted by "Shrink" during the damage step (sub-step 3). Then in (sub-step 4), "Flashbang" is activated. What will happen in this situation since "Spirit Reaper" destroys itself in sub-step 5 which is skipped by "Flashbang" who automatically proceed to the end phase? Will he miss the timming? Also in wich step his discarding effect takes place? It says after a successfully attack. Could it means at the end step?

5) When 2 or more continuous effects tries to activate at the same time (like "Burden of the Mighty" and "Luminous Spark" with "LS" activated first and "BOTM" second), and "Athena" is summoned, will then first activate "LS" and increases her ATK to 3100 and then "BOTM" decreases her ATK to 2400, or both effects activates together and her ATK will immediately decreased by 200, (with no increases and decreases). In my opinion, continuous effects with similar effects as "ATK/DEF modify effects" (like "BOTM", "LS",), as "battle position changing effects" (like "Level Limit - Area B", "Final Attack Orders") will activate the effects together like my example for BOTM and LS, and in "LLA-B"s with "FAO"s situation, if a 4-stared monster is summoned it will remain in the position it summoned. But if continuous effects doesn't have similar effects like "LLA-B" and "BOTM", with "LLA-B" first and "BOTM" second activated, then  a 4-stared level summoned monster will first return to defense mode and then it's ATK will be decreased. Correct me if my opinion is wrong.
