More specifically, OP is Tribute setting them, and *then* OP is flipping them face up, so yes no tribute summon per se.

<p>Let's say I have <a href="https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Caius_the_Shadow_Monarch" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Caius</a> or <a href="https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Raiza_the_Storm_Monarch" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Raiza</a> in hand. Then I tribute summoned Caius/Raiza but set it face down.</p>

<p>Q1- If next turn I flip it face up in Attack position, does it's effect activate?</p>

<p>Q2- If opponent attacks my set face-down Caius/Raiza, does it's effect activate?</p>

<p>Q3- What if I tribute summoned Caius/Raiza (its effect activated normally), then used <a href="https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Book_of_Moon" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Book of Moon</a> to flip it face down, then flipped it face up in Attack position again, does its effect activate again?</p>

# Yu-Gi-Oh!: If monarch Caius or Raiza is flipped face up its effect activate?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-06-11)

Let's say I have [Caius](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Caius_the_Shadow_Monarch) or [Raiza](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Raiza_the_Storm_Monarch) in hand. Then I tribute summoned Caius/Raiza but set it face down.

Q1- If next turn I flip it face up in Attack position, does it's effect activate?

Q2- If opponent attacks my set face-down Caius/Raiza, does it's effect activate?

Q3- What if I tribute summoned Caius/Raiza (its effect activated normally), then used [Book of Moon](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Book_of_Moon) to flip it face down, then flipped it face up in Attack position again, does its effect activate again?

For their effects to activate they must be tribute summoned. In this case you (tribute)set them. Therefore, you won't be able to use their effects.
