Forum:Kalut Damage Step or Battle Step?

Alright, I was in a duel recently where I had my opponent argue that the effect of Kalut - The Moon Shadow begins at the Damage Step and does NOT prevent my monster from being destroyed. That if I engage in battle, that the ATK only goes up during Damage Calculation. So my monster in turn would be destroyed as well and I lose life points as well, from the original difference? I tried to argue that the effect states when a "Blackwing monster attacks or is attacked" but got gained nothing except for more questioning. Hopefully I can get this question answered soon because now everyone I've been facing is using that against me. I hope they're not right because that's not the way I've read the effect of Kalut. Thanks for your time and patience.
