Bashing Shield

You can also equip "Shield Bash" to a monster in your opponent's Monster Zone, provided it is a monster that was Normal Summoned.

"Shield Bash" can be equipped not only to monsters that were Normal Summoned in face-up position, but also to monsters that were Set when Normal Summoned and are now face-up.

The effect "The equipped monster gains 1000 ATK" is an effect that does not start a Chain. (If the same monster is equipped with 2 copies of "Shield Bash", each effect will increase its ATK, so the equipped monster's ATK will increase by a total of 2000.)

The effect "②: Any battle damage you take from battles involving the equipped monster becomes 0" is an effect that does not start a Chain Link. (This applies not only when the equipped monster attacks, but also when the equipped monster is attacked by an opponent's monster; the controller of "Shield Bash" will take 0 battle damage. Also, even if the "battle damage you take becomes 0" effect is applied, if the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle, it is still destroyed by battle as normal.)
