I won a duel the other day I don't think I should have. I had Salamangreat Violet Chimera and one other monster on the field, whereas my opponent was playing Dragonmaids. I had the life lead because of a big direct attack early on, but my opponent had the advantage otherwise, with four monsters on the field, all of which had higher ATK than Violet Chimera, and Dragonmaid Welcome was also active boosting them further.

On my opponent's turn, the strongest monster attacked Violet Chimera. That's when I learned Chimera's effect of doubling its ATK in battle against a monster whose ATK has been changed also works when it's attacked. The dragon used it's negate effect on me, so I banished a Balelynx from my GY to save VC, and after using its effect, the dragon returned to the Extra Deck, with another House Dragonmaid tagging in. The new Dragonmaid attacked, and VC's ability activated again. This time, it wasn't negated, and the Dragonmaid KOd herself. The weird part is that, after seeing this, my opponent kept attacking VC with all of their other monsters, with the same result every time, resulting in me winning. I'm surprised they didn't attack my other monster instead, or try and get VC or Dragonmaid Welcome off the field another way.
