Does Yu-Gi-Oh! have summoning sickness like Azuki’s cooldown?

NoNo. A Yu-Gi-Oh! monster can attack the turn it’s Summoned, as long as it isn’t the first turn of the Duel. Azuki entities wait a turn unless they have Charge.

Cooldown in the Azuki TCG

An entity has cooldown the turn it enters the Garden: it can’t attack, and its tap abilities in the Garden wait too, unless the card says otherwise. That includes entities portaled in from your Alley. Charge lets it attack anyway. Cooldown never stops Defender, and leaders never have it.

Different

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters attack the turn they arrive. Azuki entities need Charge to do that.
