A monster is considered destroyed when killed in battle with another monster. It is also destroyed when a card effect says so (Dark Hole, Trap Hole, Dark Armed Dragon, etc).
Lastly, if one of your monsters is temporarily removed from your side of the field (removed from play or control switched to the opponent) it will be destroyed if it tries to return to your side of the field, but all your slots are full.
A monster is not considered destroyed if it is discarded from hand, "sent from the field to the graveyard," tributed, or only removed from play (such as by Caius the Shadow Monarch's effect, but not by Bottomless Trap Hole's effect, since this Trap says "destroy and remove from play").
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.
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.
The only times a monster is considered 'destroyed' are if the card that removed it from the field says it 'destroyed' it, or if it was destroyed during Damage Calculation with a stronger monster. So Bottomless Trap Hole removes from game, but also destroys. However Dimensional Prison only removes from game, this is not a 'destroy' effect.
No. Banishing a monster does not destroy it, unless specifically stated so. Dark Core banishes a monster but does not destroy it. But if Macro Cosmos is active, monsters who are destroyed, will also be banished.
The damage step will go - flip the defending monster, compare ATK and DEF, activate and resolve the flip effect (regardless of whether the monster is considered destroyed by battle bay a stronger attacker) then if the flip monster was considered destroyed, now it actually goes to the graveyard.
"Shocktopus" goes into your Spell/Trap card zone and is considered equipped to opponent's monster.
destroyed by battle or by card effects
" Destroyed as a result of battle" is when a monster is considered destroyed during Damage Calculation, where its ATK or DEF is being compared to the other monster's ATK. It does not mean destruction at any other time during an attack, like through the effect of Mystic Swordsman Lv2, or Newdoria.
Your monster is destroyed if the monster you attack is in attack position, and you lose life points.
Here is a step-by-step look at what happens:You declare an attack with your 1000 ATK monster on Wall of Illusion.Both monsters have the same ATK, so both are considered destroyed. They are not removed from the field yet. Damage to a player's Life Points should be inflicted, but there is none.Now that we have reached the end of damage calculation, Wall of Illusion will activate its effect to return your attacking monster to your hand. But because the attacking monster is already determined to be destroyed in battle, it's not returning to your hand.Both monsters are sent to the Graveyard and are considered destroyed in battle.In layman's terms, both monsters are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.If your attacking monster isn't destroyed in battle (by some other card effect), it is then returned to your hand.
If the token is considered destroyed by battle, then it will leave the field and cease to exist, like any regular token monster.
