You have to use your trap before you play your ability, and your ability works as the new attribute you chose.

While we're on the topic of trap questions, I have one too.

no i think so but i think it goes back down and gives you the bonus for haos

As long as shadowfire has to be activated before the battle starts, it should work.

Shadowfire is played during a battle, so I guess it gets negated if you aren't one of the needed attributes.

Than yes, cause traps need to be played before you play any abilities

Actually the Official FAQ does not say anything about playing a Trap before an Ability card.3.00: TRAPS FAQ3.01: What is a Bakugan Trap?Normal Bakugan are round and they roll. Bakugan Traps are not round. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes like football, pyramid, coin, cube, drum, and tetradecahedron.3.02: How many Bakugan Trap can I use in a game?You can use up to one Trap in your unused pile at the start of a game. It goes in with your three Gate cards, three ability cards, and three Bakugan.3.03: How do you play a Bakugan Trap?You may play one of your Trap during a battle as long as the Trap and Bakugan have the same attribute. For example, if you are using a Pyrus Bakugan in that battle you need to use a Pyrus Trap.To play your Trap during a battle, take it from your unused pile and drop it onto the Gate Card engaged in battle. When it opens up you will see one or more attribute symbols revealed inside it. You will now change the attribute of your Bakugan to any one of the attributes printed inside your Trap.Some Bakugan Traps have one hidden attribute symbol. Some have two hidden attribute symbols or more.Only when you've run out of Bakugan in your unused pile and are about to roll should you move your Trap back to your unused pile.Also included with your Bakugan Trap are their very own ability cards. When you combine the affects of the Trap with the affects of their Ability Cards the power can be devastating.Download the latest official Bakugan rules here.3.04: How come some Traps have a repeated attribute? Does it do anything special?Traps with duplicate attributes printed on them do nothing extra special. They work the same as a regular Trap.And as for Ability card effects. As soon as you play it, its ability goes into effect right away and the ability does not "retro-activate".I don't understand your second question VentusBenji.

What do you mean by “retro-activate”?

What do you mean by "retro-activate"?

Like the example you were referring to. If you played Shadowfire with a Darkus Bakugan and then used a Trap and switched to Haos. The effect would still be in play and would not cancel just because you are now not Darkus or Pyrus.

[eclipse116Member]

also you can play at home by any rulles you want but it has to be a officail rule

Yes you can play by your own rules at home, but when at official events you have to use rulebook rules.

I am pretty sure ernie confirmed that you have to play a trap before an ability, I think he asked a spinmaster rep, I could be wrong though.

So if I play shadowfire, then use a trap to change to an attribute that isn't compatible, shadowfire's original effect would still be in effect?

stronger, what i meant by my second question was that if you change your bakugan's attribute with a trap, can you use that attribute for an ability card that deals with that attribute. i have a ventus tripod epsilon and it can change to pyrus, haos, and aquos. if i play that trap and then use the ability card prismatic magnifier, which can use aquos or haos, does the ability card apply to my bakugan, which is originally ventus but had its attribute changed to aquos?
