As an Optional Trigger, the destruction must be the last thing to happen. If it is destroyed, but something else 'happens' (a summon, a resolution, etc) before it gets chance to activate, then it has 'missed the timing' and is not allowed to activate at all.

Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed?

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.


Does a flip-effect still activate when is destroyed by card effect?

No, flip effect activate when the card is flipped, which will be by Flip Summon, or being attacked, or flipped by an effect. Simply being destroyed while face down, will not 'flip' the monster.


Does Zubaba Knight cancel the effect of the destroyed monster?

No part of Zubaba Knight negates effects but since it destroys the monster at the start of the Damage Step it might mean that some monster effects would be unable to activate. Monsters which trigger when destroyed by battle will not activate because they were destroyed by an effect. Many monsters with effects that happen during or after Damage Calculation will never activate because the damage step will end as soon as it starts.


Is Armed Dragon Lv 5 Destroyed When its effect is used?

If you mean, is it destroyed when it 'levels up', then no. It is simply 'sent to the graveyard', it is not a 'destroy' effect and cards that look for or trigger from something being destroyed, will not activate.


Does Verdant Sanctuary activate if your Needle Worm was destroyed by battle when previously in face-down Defense position because it was flipped face-up as a result in Yu-Gi-Oh?

During battle, Needle Worm gets flipped before it gets destroyed. Because of the that, Verdant Sanctuary will activate after Needle Worm uses its effect and then gets destroyed.

What happens if Raging Earth attacks Man-Eater Bug but Man-Eater Bug's Flip Effect targets that Raging Earth?

Raging Earth only triggers when destroyed 'by battle', meaning it has to be considered destroyed by the comparison between its ATK or DEF against a stonger monster. Being destroyed by an effect, is not the same thing, even if that effect is activated during the battle phase. Since in this case Raging Earth is destroyed by a triggered effect and not by battle, its own effect won't activate.


What if a flip affect monster card is destroyed by a trap or spell card does the flip effect work?

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.

How do you use soul rope if can't active it when the monster is destoryed?

Soul RopeTRAP/NormalActivate only by paying 1000 Life Points when a monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your Deck.Soul Rope is activated when a monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. This means that you can activate it when a monster you control is destroyed by battle or by another card effect. You cannot activate Soul Rope if the monster was destroyed during the Damage Step via a card effect such as a Defense Position Berserk Gorilla because the timing would not be correct. You also cannot activate this card if there is an effect that prevents your monster from being sent to the Graveyard (ie. D.D. Warrior or Macro Cosmos).


Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed by the effect of another monster?

Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect. To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.
