Forum:Super Rush Headlong vs Heavy Knight of Flame

If i control a Heavy Knight of Flame that is gemini summoned and my opponent controls a special summoned monster with the quickplay Super Rush Headlong activated, targeting the special summmoned monster and declaring Fire type. What exactly happens when i attack into the special summoned monster?

I have a vague idea but from my understanding it would appear that these effects both activate at the start of the damage step. Seeing as how heavy knight of flame is an optional effect, this is chain 2. Chain 1 would be super rush headlong's mandatory effect. However I think this is not correct, they activate separately on different chains. I THINK it may have something to do with spell speed. The quickplay is spell speed 2, so it activates first, destroying heavy knight. But for some reason, heavy knight's effect activates, which should allow you to destroy the special summoned monsters with its effect.

This is all going from YGOPro, but please don't use that as proof because I have found a conflicting ruling with another quickplay timing but this time heavy knight could not activate its effect. Aznxknight (talk • contribs) 22:59, July 12, 2017 (UTC)
