Forum:Attacks

I have something to clarify: if somebody declares an attack, in which of these scenarios (if any) does the monster count as having declared an attack? ●if the monster is destroyed/leaves the field before the damage step/ in response to the attack ●if the monster is switched to defense mode before the damage step ●if the monster's attack is negated Also, what is the difference between "attacking" (this term is used in a few card texts without erratas, like "Full Force Strike") and declaring an attack? Additionally, do you have to enter damage calculation to count as having battled? Thanks!Surya97 (talk • contribs) 02:26, August 17, 2016 (UTC)
