If a 0 ATK LIGHT monster with an A-Counter attacks Alien Kid and you use Honest, does it still lose 300 ATK?!
A 0 ATK LIGHT monster with an A-Counter attacks Alien Kid and Honest is activated.
Honest sets the monster to 1300 ATK, then the A-Counter reduces it by 300, so it loses the battle.

Rulings

edisonformat.net ●While you control 2 copies of this card, a battling monster with 1 A-Counter will lose 600 ATK/DEF. edisonformat.com (1) Place 1 A-Counter on all monsters Special Summoned to your opponent's side of the field. (2) (If a monster with an A-Counter battles an "Alien" monster, it loses 300 ATK and DEF for each A-Counter during damage calculation only.) The (1) Continuous Effect applies while this card is face-up on the field. This effect does not retroactively place A-Counters on Special Summoned monsters. This effect places an A-Counter on a monster when it is Special Summoned. This happens in the Summon response timing (like "Trap Hole") before building a Chain, or before proceeding to the next Chain Link if a monster was Special Summoned while resolving a chain. If "Alien Kid" is face-up on the field when multiple monsters are Special Summoned simultaneously, then each Special Summoned monster gains one A-Counter. The (2) Continuous Effect applies while this card is face-up on the field. If this card is not on the field, a monster with an A-Counter won't lose ATK when battling an "Alien".
