BASIC STRATEGY: Will it Trigger?

“When this card destroys a monster by battle [and sends it to the Graveyard]” effects activate during the End of the Damage Step, but some work differently than others!

• Monsters that trigger “when this card destroys a monster by battle” (ex: "XX-Saber Fulhelmknight", etc) ALWAYS activate, even if they are not on the field during the End of the Damage Step.
  
• Monsters that trigger “when this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard” (ex: "Goyo Guardian", etc) ONLY activate if they are face-up on field during the End of the Damage Step.
