Player 1 has "Archfiend Soldier" equipped with "Metalmorph", and Player 2 has a face-up "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch".
Player 1 attacks "Zaborg..." with their "Archfiend Soldier", and "Archfiend Soldier's" ATK gets boosted to 3100 (1900 + (2400/2) = 1900 + 1200). Does this ATK boost only last during damage calculations/end of Damage Step, or does "Archfiend Soldier" maintain the extra 1200 ATK as long as it remains equipped with "Metalmorph"?

Answer:
"After activation, equip this card to a face-up monster. The equipped monster gains 300 ATK and DEF. When the equipped monster attacks, it gains additional ATK, during damage calculation only, equal to half the ATK of the attack target."
"Metalmorph" will be receiving a reprint that will include this text.
The ATK gained as a result of the monster being attacked is only applied during damage calculation for that one attack.
