OCG Rulings[]
- You can Special Summon the same monster sent to the Graveyard to activate the effect.[2]
- You cannot activate the effect if there is no Fairy-Type monster in the Graveyard that you can Special Summon, even if you intend on Special Summoning the monster sent to the Graveyard to activate the effect.[2]
- When multiple Fairy-Type monsters are Summoned simultaneously, the effect activates once and you inflict only 600 damage.[4]
Previously Official Rulings[]
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[5] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- Tributing [sic][Notes 1] 1 Fairy-Type monster, except "Athena", is a cost to activate "Athena's" Ignition Effect.
- "Athena's" first effect does not inflict damage when it is Summoned.
- If multiple Fairy-Type monsters are Special Summoned by the same effect, "Athena" inflicts 600 damage to the opponent's Life Points. If 2 or more effects on the Chain Special Summon a Fairy-Type monster, "Athena's" effect will inflict 600 damage for each effect.
Notes[]
- ↑ "Tributing" is a typo originally used on the Upper Deck Entertainment website. The monster sent is not considered to be Tributed.
