OCG Rulings[]
- When a Winged Beast-Type monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, this card's effect activates (and begins a chain).[1]
- The effect can activate during the Damage Step.[1]
Previously Official Rulings[]
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- The effect of "Firebird" is a Trigger Effect that activates when 1 or more Winged Beast-Type monster(s) on the controller's side of the field are destroyed. If the monsters were destroyed as a result of battle, the timing of this effect is at the end of the Damage Step, when the monsters are sent to the Graveyard.
- You can chain to the activation of "Firebird's" effect, including with "Divine Wrath".
- If 2 or more Winged Beast-Type monsters on the controller's side of the field are destroyed at the same time, the ATK of "Firebird" only increases by 500 points.
- Winged Beast-Type tokens on the controller's side of the field are included and will increase the ATK of "Firebird" when destroyed.
- Monsters on the controller's side of the field that are changed to Winged Beast-Type by "DNA Surgery" are included and will increase the ATK of "Firebird" when destroyed.
