Forum:Lyla Effect and question about Honest

Question 1: OK, so since Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress's effect to destroy a S/T card destroys that S/T card PRIOR to her attack-position-to-defense-position switch, does the position switch occur if the S/T card is chained to her effect? I would think that since Chain Link 2 resolves first, that therefore, she did not destroy it, and remains in attack mode. It seems strange, but I have heard or read somewhere that any time she is in attack mode she can use this effect, even if it is more than once a turn (such as by the effect of Final Attack Orders, so her effect would be re-activatable if she remains in Attack Mode.

Question 2: I know that Defensive Tactics cannot be activated during the Damage Step. Keeping in mind that it has very similar effects, is this true for Waboku, as well? If Waboku IS allowed to be activated during Damage Step, is there any time at which I can activate the effect of Honest where I will not be wasting the card (because Waboku is chained to it, rendering it useless)? Because his ATK-boosting is all for naught in many cases when damage cannot be dealt.

If either question is difficult to interpret, I will reword. Thanks. Adrenalife 09:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
