Does Pyramid Turtle activate if it is destroyed by battle by Zanji?!
Pyramid Turtle battles Zanji and is destroyed by battle.
Yes. It is still destroyed by battle, so its effect activates.
Why doesn't Ancient Gear Engineer's effect trigger if it is destroyed by battle, even though Zanji does?!
Ancient Gear Engineer attacks and is destroyed by battle.
Engineer only triggers if it attacked and survived to the end of the Damage Step. Being destroyed by battle prevents its effect from activating.
