Card Rules: Rulings powered by The Netrep API. If the Fiend-Type monster that received the ATK and DEF increase from this card's effect is flipped face-down , the effect is reset and the ATK and DEF return to the original amounts. You may Tribute two 'Winged Minions' to increase the ATK and DEF of a Fiend-Type monster by 1400 points. If the Fiend-Type monster that was selected for this card's effect is changed into a different Type by the effect of 'DNA Surgery' for example it retains the 700 point ATK and DEF increase. [Re: Skill Drain] 'Skill Drain' does not stop you from activating Ignition Effects but it does negate their effects as long as the Effect Monster remains on the field. If you Tribute 'Cannon Soldier' to itself while 'Skill Drain' is active 'Cannon Soldier''s effect is not negated because 'Cannon Soldier' is in the Graveyard but if you Tribute a different monster for 'Cannon Soldier''s effect then the effect is negated and your opponent takes no damage. Likewise if you activate 'Winged Minion''s effect while 'Skill Drain' is active 'Winged Minion' is no longer on the field and its effect resolves. If you activate 'Exiled Force''s effect while 'Skill Drain' is active 'Exiled Force' is no longer on the field and you can select and destroy 1 monster on the field. If you Tribute 'Paladin of White Dragon' to activate its effect while 'Skill Drain' is active it is no longer on the field and you can Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'. If you Tribute 'Great Dezard' while 'Skill Drain' is active it is no longer on the field and you can Special Summon 'Fushioh Richie'.
