Night Assailant Effect?

[Blackscorp]

Where does the effect of "Night Assailant" Activates??

• [li]You cannot use "Night Assailant"'s second effect while "Necrovalley" is active.[/li][li][/li]

By this rule I would think that his effect activates before it goes to the graveyard.

And"¦

• [li]When multiple "Night Assailants" are sent to the Graveyard at the same time because of "Graceful Charity", etc., both can be returned to your hand because "Night Assailaint" cannot select itself but CAN select a different "Night Assailant", even one that was sent to the Graveyard at the same time.[/li][li][/li]

Can any one clarify this one for me? Thanks

any monster that has the card text "when this card is sent to the graveyard....", it is a graveyard effect. The reason that Night Assailant is negated by necrovalley is because the only way that a graveyard effect can be activated under necrovalley is if only ONLY if the effect does not involve any card in the graveyard other than itself. Since night assailant cannot target itself, it must target another flip monster, in which case would be negated by necrovalley.

End of Anubis is also negates night assailant's second effect.

And to answer the second part.

Night Assailant lets you pick a FLIP monster other than itself when sent to the Graveyard.

If you discard 2 because of "Graceful Charity", both their effects activate (in a SEGOC too...)

Chain link 1: Night Assailant "A" activates.
Chain link 2: Night Assailant "B" activates.

Resolution:
Night Assailant "B" resolves. The player chooses Night Assailant "A" (since it is a FLIP effect and not Night Assailant "B") and returns it to his hand.
Then, Night Assailant "A" resolves. The player chooses Night Assailant "B" (same reasoning) and returns it to his hand.

It would work also if say all 3 Night Assailants were sent to the graveyard at the same time (A can grab B, B can grab C, and C can grab A).

Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware of the part that the effect was targeting a card in the graveyard from the grave yard.... :|
