Receiving a summons has no bearing on your credit report. It is, however, an indication that you are being sued over a bad debt. This debt may have already damaged your credit and certainly any legal action would be extremely damaging. It is always in a consumer's best interests to prevent a judgment from being granted against you. Whatever you do, answer the summons and raise a defense in court.

Is it better to pay a charge off or collection account?

I would pay the collection account. Try not to let the account get that far that it becomes a charge off. It would be better to pay them all on time, of course. They both do damage to your credit. The charge off is normally paid less than the original charge. After paying, they both will show paid on your credit file if the companies filed them correctly. Make sure you have the company mail you a letter of Debt satifaction with a statement notifying the credit bureau. This is your responsibility to make sure it happens. Good luck..

How do you negate Battle Fader or Gorz Emissary of Darkness' non-inherent Special Summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?

You use an effect that can negate the activation of a monster's effect. Divine Wrath is one. Solemn Warning is another - it can negate both inherent special summons, or effects that include special summons. Royal Oppression can stop Battle Fader, and it can stop Gorz if he's summoned outside the damage step by his 'direct damage' summon. But Royal Oppression can't be used in the damage step so it can't stop him when he's summoned from battle damage, but Counter Traps can.
