- The effect of the "/Assault Mode" monster targets one appropriate Synchro Monster in your Graveyard.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- If "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" etc is destroyed by a card effect while face-down, you cannot activate the effect which Special Summons "Red Dragon Archfiend" etc.[7]
- If "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" etc is destroyed and removed from play by "Bottomless Trap Hole" etc, then you can activate the effect that Special Summons "Red Dragon Archfiend" etc.[8]
- When "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" etc is destroyed while in your Spell & Trap Card Zone - for example, it is equipped to "Relinquished" - then you can activate the effect and Special Summon a "Red Dragon Archfiend" etc.[9]
- When "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" etc is destroyed during the Damage Step - either by an effect or by battle - you can activate the effect which Special Summons "Red Dragon Archfiend" etc from your Graveyard.[10]
- If "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" etc is Special Summoned by "Assault Revival", when the monster is later destroyed and removed from play, its effect does not activate on the field, so it will not be negated. You can Special Summon a "Red Dragon Archfiend" etc.[11]
- "Assault Revival" can only Special Summon an "/Assault Mode" monster if it was first properly Special Summoned by "Assault Mode Activate". If the "/Assault Mode" monster is sent directly from the Deck/Hand to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned by "Assault Revival".[12]
- If you do not have "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" etc in your Deck, then you cannot activate "Assault Mode Activate" by Tributing "Stardust Dragon" etc. If an effect is Chained to "Assault Mode Activate" so that there is no "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" in your Deck, then "Assault Mode Activate" resolves without effect.[13]
