is MIRROR WALL a permanent?

[FiendMaster]

Player A has two monsters (Berserk Gorilla and Mad Dog).
Player B has only one monster ( DD Warrior Lady ) and a trap (Mirror Wall) set from earlier.

1. Player A attacks with Mad Dog and Player B activiate Mirror Wall thus killing Mad Dog. Now, does Mirror Wall also reduce player A's Gorilla atk in half too when player B activiated Mirror Wall or only when player A attack again with his gorilla (in which he has too).

2. If in the next turn, Player A reborn Mad Dog, is Mad Dog atk still 1900 or permanently reduced to half from Mirror Wall.

3. If before player A attack ( and its his turn to atk anyway), he special BLS-eotb. and you know that player A's gonna attack but has not attack yet, can you activiate Mirror Wall right after he special summon BLS-eotb or chain Mirror Wall to the removal effect of BLS-eotb. If it can be chain, would this mean that all of Player A monster atk are reduce to half PERMANENTLY, right?

1. Berserk Gorilla will be reduced to half its ATK only after it attacks.
2. Mad Dog of Darkness is considered a new monster (even if it is the same physical card). It is 1900.
3. You could activate Mirror Wall to the Special Summon of Black Luster Soldier, but there would be little point as only those monsters that attack are reduced by half.

Also, keep in mind that the moment Mirror Wall leaves the field or is negated, the halved ATK is returned to normal.

Maybe some clarifications here.

1. Berserk Gorilla will be reduced to half its ATK only after it attacks.

I would say only WHEN/IF it attacks, since AFTER implies the attack has completed.

2. Mad Dog of Darkness is considered a new monster (even if it is the same physical card). It is 1900.

But if the opponent decides to attack again with that monster, the ATK will be halved during that attack.

3. You could activate Mirror Wall to the Special Summon of Black Luster Soldier, but there would be little point as only those monsters that attack are reduced by half.

No clarification needed there.

I just realized one of his questions was not answered, and I don't know the answer...lol, so I'll ask it the same, but different.

We'll use the same two attacking monsters as before 'Mad Dog' and 'Berserk Gorilla', but this time the defending monster is a 'Solar Flare Dragon' with DEF of 1000 in defense position.

The scenario would be Player A attacks with 'Mad Dog', Player B activates 'Mirror Wall'. Player A would take 50 damage, but 'Mad Dog' is not destroyed. Player A attacks with 'Berserk Gorilla', no damage since ATK and DEF are equal.

Now, do the ATKs of 'Mad Dog' and 'Berserk' return to normal once the attacks have completed? or do they reset at the end of the turn?

Thanks.

As long as Mirror Wall remains on the field, monsters that have attacked are still affected by Mirror Wall. So in this case, Berserk Gorilla and Mad Dog will be 1000 ATK and 950 ATK until they are removed from the field (or until Mirror Wall is removed.)
