Question 4

Swift Samurai Storm! — ruling 4

Accepted Answer

Any given “Six Samurai” can only gain the ATK increase once per turn, after the first time a “Six Samurai” battles while it is on the field. (Example: You control 2 “Six Samurai” monsters, Irou and Yaichi and a face-up “Swift Samurai Storm!”. Irou battles, and Irou and Yaichi gain 300 ATK. If you then use “Call of the Haunted” to Special Summon “The Six Samurai – Nisashi”, he will not automatically gain 300 ATK. If Yaichi battles, then Nisashi will gain 300 ATK.)
