Rulings
- Removing 1 Neos, Neo-Spacian, Elemental Hero, Destiny Hero, or Evil Hero monster in your GY from play is a cost.
- You can remove from play a Normal Monster Neos or Elemental Hero monster to activate the effect of Elemental Hero Divine Neos. In this case Elemental Hero Divine Neos will not gain any effects.
- If you use Elemental Hero Neos as a Fusion Material Monster, it can be used as a Neos monster or an Elemental Hero monster, but it cannot be used as both at the same time. If you use it as a Neos monster, you will still need another Elemental Hero, Destiny Hero or Evil Hero monster.
- If you remove Evil Hero Dark Gaia to activate the effect of Elemental Hero Divine Neos, the original ATK of Elemental Hero Divine Neos' does not change.
