Forum:Skill Drain vs D.D. Assailant

If Skill Drain is active, and D.D. Assailant is destroyed by battle, does its effect activate and resolve normally, removing itself and the attacking monster from play, or does Skill Drain negate the effect? --Darth Covah (Talk)●(Contribs) 15:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
