• VS. “Honest” [REF]: If Player A’s “Elemental Hero Sparkman” battles “Gaia Plate the Earth Giant”. At the start of Substep 4 - Damage Calculation, Gaia Plate’s effect applies, halving Sparkman’s ATK to 800 (1600/2). Player A then uses “Honest”, bringing Sparkman’s ATK to 3600 (800+2800). After the chain, Gaia Plate’s effect reapplies, reducing Sparkman’s ATK to 1800 (3600/2). Damage is then calculated.
