2 official rulings from Bandai, last ruled Apr 4, 2025. Straight answers to how this card actually resolves.

Effect: [Start of Your Main Phase] If your opponent has a Digimon, gain 1 memory. [End of Your Turn] By suspending this Tamer, 1 of your Digimon with the [Reptile] or [Dragonkin] trait gains Piercing for the turn. (When this Digimon attacks and deletes an opponent's Digimon in battle, it checks security before the attack ends.) Then, that Digimon attacks.
Security effect: [Security] Play this card without paying the cost.

Official Q&A

Can I use this card's ＜End Your Turn＞ effect to give ＜Piercing＞ to 1 of my Digimon, but then choose to not attack with that Digimon?
No, you can't. The Digimon that was given ＜Piercing＞ by this effect must attack if possible.

I have 2 copies of this card in the battle area. At the end of my turn, I used the ＜End Your Turn＞ effect on the 1st copy of this card to attack. Can I then use the ＜End Your Turn＞ effect on the 2nd copy of this card to attack?
No, an attack using the 2nd effect isn't possible. A new attack declaration can't be made during an attack. In this case, the ＜End Your Turn＞ effects on both copies of this card trigger simultaneously at the end of your turn, and you use the ＜End Your Turn＞ effect on the 1st copy of this card to attack. The 2nd ＜End Your Turn＞ effect can be activated before the counter timing, but because you can't declare another attack during an attack, you won't be able to attack using the 2nd effect, even if you activate it.
