Steam Ship. Damage Step

Is this an unwritten rule, common sense or there's an official ruling about this?

I'm thinking in specializing on Kikou so it'll be handy to have something like that in hand.

It's nothing official, however, based on what we've observed so far, that is the rule of thumb.

Think: Doppelwarrior, Rose Fairy, Infernity Archfiend (Konami's email), and some more I'm missing

Fancy.

It would be nice if there's a concrete ruling about this. Just assuming that it is the general rule of thumb might lead to pointless arguments.

Thanks anyway. I guess we need to wait until Konami release an official ruling about this, I doubt it though.

Declare = D Priz, mirror force, Book, evack, E call, ect = atk trig stuff and such
Battle* = Book, evack, E call, e telly = things that change battle postions and such
Damage step = Honest, shrink, kolut, ect = things that change atk and def points

should've add, the optional one up there.
something like Tengu or Mist Valley thunderbird will activate.
