The Damage Step is where it is determined which monster is destroyed by battle, and which player takes damage.
So while Skyscraper's bonus 'only' counts during the Damage Step, that's exactly the right place to ensure the attacking E-HERO destroys a stronger attack target and survives battle.
There's no concept of 'monster damage' in Yu-Gi-Oh, there is no penalty or consequence for losing the boost after Damage Calculation against a monster that was originally stronger. The damage step is the only step in which their calculated ATKs and DEFs are relevant, and during that, the E-HERO's ATK was higher.
SkyscraperField Spell/SPELLWhen a monster that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name attacks, if its ATK is lower than the ATK of the attack target, increase the ATK of the attacking monster by 1000 points during damage calculation only.No, its effect does not activate. "When a monster...attacks...". This automatically tells you that it activates when your monster attacks, but does not activate if your monster is attacked.
Most, Elemental Hero fusion monsters say they "cannot be special summoned except by...." which means that's the only way for them to reach the field. Monsters that say "can only be summoned by" have to be initially summoned by the listed method, but after that, can be reborn using cards like Monster Reborn. But even if you use the listed method initially, the 'except by' monsters cannot be special summoned from the graveyard, by cards like Monster Reborn, or Skyscraper 2. So you'd have to look at the specific Elemental Hero's text - almost all are 'except by', a notable exception are the 'Neos' fusions.
Relinquished's equipped monster is destroyed if Relinquished's ATK is lower than the foe's attacking monster's ATK. If Relinquished is in Defense position, its equipped monster is destroyed if its DEF is less than the attacking monster's ATK. Either way, Relinquished remains on the field.
If the attacking monster has lower ATK than the defence-position defender's DEF, then the defender is not destroyed at all. What will happen is the attacking player will take damage equal to the difference between the attacker's ATK and the defender's DEF, but neither monster will be destroyed.
Yes, you can do this. Your monster will most likely be destroyed, but this can be used to your advantage, ie, attacking a stronger monster with your Pyramid Turtle, using its effect so summon Ryu Kokki (2400ATK), and then attacking with that Ryu Kokki.

No, if your attacking Monster is destroyed by an opponent's "Sakuretsu Armor" it is considered destroyed as the result of an effect.In order for a Monster to be considered destroyed as a result of battle, the attacking Monster must have been destroyed because its ATK was equal or less than the opponent's attack position Monster it battled with.
Yes. If you hit a monster with higher defense than your attack, your attacking monster isn't destroyed, but you take damage. If the defending monster's defense is lower than your attack, then the defending monster is destroyed, but the defending player takes no damage, unless through an effect like "Dragon's Rage" or "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman"
The attacking player takes damage equal to the difference between the attacking monster's ATK and the defender's DEF. The attacking monster is not destroyed.
When Elemental Hero Flame Wingman destroys a monster in battle, the opponent loses life points equal to half the destroyed monster's attack points.

When a monster attacks Reflect Bounder, the attacking player takes damage equal to his attacking monster's ATK. The defending player takes damage as normal. Reflect Bounder is then destroyed regardless of the damage calculation. So imagine attacking it with Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000. The attacking player will take 3000 damage from Reflect Bounder's effect. The defending player will take 1300 damage due to his monster battling with a stronger one. Reflect Bounder will be destroyed by battle. Imagine attacking it with Sangan, ATK 1000. The attacking player will take 1000 damage from Reflect Bounder's effect, and then 700 battle damage due to attacking a stronger monster. Sangan will be destroyed by battle, and Reflect Bounder will be destroyed by its own effect.
you keep attacking him with your melee attacks instead of your elemental attacks if your talking about the executionar
If the monster is flipped up as a result of battle, the card is destroyed first, and then its effect is activated
