Yes, if you control a monster in defense mode and it is changed to attack mode during the Battle Phase by a card effect, it can attack. The "Zero Gravity" Trap card is an example of a card that can switch your monsters' battle position during the Battle Phase. But if the monster already attacked that turn, was switched to defense mode, then changed to attack mode again by an effect, it cannot attack again on that same turn.

Unless the card specifically says it changes modes after attacking, it can't change modes after attacking. It's one or the other.

Can a monster attack right after you switch?

If you switch it from attack position to defence position you can't because no monster can attack from defence position except from "Total defence shogun". But if you switch it from defence position to attack position then you can attack


Does your opponent have to attack a monster you summon with A Hero Emerges?

No, not at all. When the defending player summons a monster after an attack has been declared, a 'replay' occurs. The attacking monster has to choose whether to continue its attack or discontinue it altogether and forfeit its attack that turn. If it continues the attack, it can be against a different target. If the monster was making a direct attack, and a stronger monster was summoned, then the attacker will most likely discontinue his attack. He can't continue as a direct attack, but is not forced to attack the newly summoned monster either.


What is the purpose of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and how do you play it?

the purpose is to beat the other opponent and collect more cards to perfect your deck the way it works is each card has its own group monster magic or trap and each card is either dark light earth air fire thinks there more then that but anyway each monster card has attack and defence and each magic or trap has an effect alot of monster cards has an effect as well but if monster is in attack mode and is attacked by a monster with higher attack level it is destroy and the person loses point (normal point for each player is 4000) and same if attack mode attacks defence mode except the person wint loose points if there monster is in defence mode .

What if you have a Dragon type monster card in attack position and your opponent activates a Dragon Capture Jar putting your card in face-up defence position plus disables it from attacking?

A monster can't declare an attack while it is in defence position - unless it specifically says it can (Total Defence Shogun, etc). So your Dragon-type monsters will be unable to attack.If one of your dragons declares an attack, and Dragon Capture Jar is flipped in response, then your Dragon will switch to defence mode and that particular battle step will end without proceeding to the Damage Step.

Is the number of monsters you use to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra multiplied by 1000?

Ra's attack and defence is equal to the combined attack and defence of the monsters tributed for its summon. You can also tribute other monsters to increase Ra's attack and defence by that monster. When Ra is summoned from the graveyard (monster reborn etc.) it has 0 attack and defence as no monsters were tributed for it

Can you change a monster from attack position to defense position after it has attacked?

Not manually, no. A monster that has declared an attack that turn, may not switch into defence mode. But it can be switched by the effect of other cards, including their own, in the case of Goblin Attack Force.

In Yu-Gi-Oh can you turn a card from defense to attack position or attack to defense position?

Yes. Once per turn, a monster may switch from face-up attack mode to face-up defence mode, or vice-versa, as long as the monster was not summoned that turn, and had not declared an attack. If the monster is face-down, then turning it face up into attack mode is a Flip Summon, which can't be done on the turn the monster was Set from hand.
