Rulings
(1) The opponent takes all Battle Damage to this card's controller that he/she would have taken from a battle involving this card.
- The (1) Continuous Effect applies while this card is face-up on the field.
- Amazoness Swordswoman only applies her effect to Battle Damage to her controller, so if attacked by a stronger monster, the Amazoness Swordswoman herself is still destroyed as normal.
- Damage inflicted to the opponent when Amazoness Swordswoman's effect is activated is Battle Damage, so the opponent cannot use Barrel Behind the Door.
- When Dark Ruler Ha Des attacks Amazoness Swordswoman, the effect of Amazoness Swordswoman is still resolved.
- When a monster affected by Diffusion Wave-Motion attacks Amazoness Swordswoman, the Amazoness Swordswoman's effect is applied and the opponent (who used Diffusion Wave-Motion) takes the damage dealt to Life Points. Likewise, the controller of Spear Dragon takes damages when Spear Dragon battles Amazoness Swordswoman (or the controller of a monster equipped with Fairy Meteor Crush, or who used Meteorain).
- When the controller of Amazoness Swordswoman uses Kuriboh, the controller takes zero Battle Damage so no damage is dealt to the opponent.
- When Susa Soldier battles Amazoness Swordswoman, the controller of Susa Soldier takes full damage; the damage is NOT halved.
