How 【Attack】 works

An 【Attack】 effect triggers when this Unit declares an attack, before blocks and before damage. Any buff it hands out, whether an AP boost or a keyword grant, is live for the whole battle, so the opponent has to factor it into the blocking decision.

The trigger needs an attack declaration, so a Unit that sits back defensively never turns its 【Attack】 effect on. These cards want to be swinging every turn to pay for themselves.

Playing around it

Read the board's attack triggers before you decide to block. A Unit that grows or gains <First Strike> when attacking can turn a safe-looking block into a losing battle. And if you are holding removal, killing the attacker on your own turn, before it ever declares, denies the trigger completely.
