【Regarding "You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Tribute Summoned monster"】

This is not treated as an effect. It is a method to Tribute Summon this monster.

It is possible to both Normal Summon and Set this monster using this method.

It is also possible to Tribute Summon this monster by Tributing 2 monsters without using this method.

【Regarding the ① effect】

This is a Trigger Effect that activates in the Monster Zone.

It activates automatically when the condition is met (it also activates if the opponent has no cards in their hand).

When resolving this effect, if the opponent has cards in their hand, you look at their hand, choose 1 card and discard it. If the discarded card was a monster, you then inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's Level × 200. Additionally, if a FIRE monster was Tributed for the Advance Summon that triggered this effect, you also inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.

The process of discarding a card and the process of inflicting damage based on its Level do not occur simultaneously. Those processes and the process marked with ● do not occur simultaneously.
