• "Cyber Eltanin" is a Special Summon monster.^[1]

• When Special Summoning "Cyber Eltanin", only monsters which are both LIGHT-Attribute and Machine-Type are removed from play.^[1]

• The Original ATK of "Cyber Eltanin" is treated as 0 while it is on the field. Thus, if it is equipped with "Megamorph", then "Cyber Eltanin" will have 0 ATK. When the effect of "Megamorph" is no longer applied, the ATK of "Cyber Eltanin" returns to 500x the number of monsters removed from play to Special Summon "Cyber Eltanin".^[2]

• If "Cyber Eltanin" is flipped face-down by an effect like "Book of Moon", then its effect of increasing its ATK is no longer applied. If "Cyber Eltanin" is later flipped face-up, then its ATK will be 0.^[3]

• If "Cyber Eltanin" is affected by "Skill Drain", then its effect of increasing its ATK is no longer applied, so it will have 0 ATK. If the effect of "Skill Drain" disappears, then the ATK of "Cyber Eltanin" will remain at 0.^[3]

• When Summoning "Cyber Eltanin", when removing from play LIGHT Machine-Type monsters on your side of the field, you only remove from play monsters that are face-up. If a LIGHT Machine-Type monster is face-down, then it is not removed from play.^[4]

• When Summoning "Cyber Eltanin", LIGHT Machine-Type Token Monster are also removed from play. You may Special Summon "Cyber Eltanin" if the only LIGHT Machine-Type monsters are Token Monster on your side of the field. Token Monsters removed from play to Special Summon "Cyber Eltanin" will be counted and will contribute 500 ATK and DEF each.^[5]

• You can Special Summon "Cyber Eltanin" by only removing from play all LIGHT Machine-Type monsters from your field if you do not have any in your Graveyard, or by only removing from play all LIGHT Machine-Type monsters from your Graveyard if you do not have any on your side of the field.^[6]
