- The effect to change the Level and halve the ATK/DEF of this card is a Trigger Effect that activates at the end of the Damage Step.
- If you use the effect of "Assault Armor" to let "Max Warrior" attack twice and destroy two monsters, its Level will be 2 and its original ATK/DEF will be ¼ of their printed value.
- The halved ATK/DEF is considered the original ATK/DEF while "Max Warrior’s" effect is being applied.
