destroyed by battle or by card effects
No, if your attacking Monster is destroyed by an opponent's "Sakuretsu Armor" it is considered destroyed as the result of an effect.In order for a Monster to be considered destroyed as a result of battle, the attacking Monster must have been destroyed because its ATK was equal or less than the opponent's attack position Monster it battled with.
Your monster is destroyed if the monster you attack is in attack position, and you lose life points.
Destroying a monster does not flip it. But if a monster is flipped face-up when attacked, and considered destroyed by battle, then the flip effect will still activate.
Goldgoyle is the name of the monster that destroyed the Turbo Rangers' 2 Megazords.
then all cards on the field are destroyed unless the union monster has an effect that says that it can be destroyed instead of the equipped monster
It mean that to trigger, they had to be sent to the graveyard while they were equipping a monster. That means if they were discarded from hand, or destroyed while face down, or destroyed because the equipped monster was turned face-down or was removed from the field, then they will not get their effect. But if it was equipped to a monster, and an effect destroyed it (or destroyed it and the monster simultaneously) then that effect will be applied.
Yes, Flint would be destroyed in that case. You equip Flint to a monster, and if that monster would be destroyed, then you (must) re-equip it to another monster. Though initially you'd probably place it one the opponent's monster, the mandatory re-equip may mean you have to put it on one of your own. However if the equipped monster is not 'destroyed', ie, if it is tributed, or removed from play by an effect such as Caius the Shadow Monarch, then Flint itself will be destroyed and go to the graveyard.
Flint is sent to the graveyard
Not likely, but it would be easier to find a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle.
Yes. If your monster is in attack position and you attack a monster that has more attack points than yours, your monster is destroyed and you take Battle Damage to your Life Points equal to the difference between your opponent's monster's Attack Points and your monster's Attack Points.
No. The only time it flips in being destroyed is when it is attacked by a monster. The flip effect will only work if the monster says "FLIP" in all caps and does not say if it is destroyed in battle that its Effect will activate.
A monster's ATK can never drop below 0. If an effect would bring a monster's ATK into the negatives, it instead becomes 0. A monster is destroyed if the ATK of a monster is become 0 or lower if it was the effect of Slifer the Sky Dragon.
