Forum:Apoqliphort Towers vs Star Eater

On the field: Star Eater and Towers both in atk position; no Veiler effects in play etc.

SO the rulings state that if Star Eater attacks Towers, it'll be unaffected by Towers' -500 effect, regain its 3200 atk and destroy Towers. BUT, reading a little lit about the Damage Step ( http://www.yugioh-card.com/uk/gameplay/damage.html ), it seems like the ruling ought to say that Star Eater is still affected by Towers' effect until AFTER dmg calc has been performed - so, to me, that means Towers wins the battle because Star Eater is still affected by the -500 when damage calculation is being performed and monsters are being determined to have been destroyed or not (and Star Eater would have been determined to have been destroyed here). Thoughts? Explanations? Criticisms? PLEASE read the page connected to the link and reference its text with an explanation, in particular the "Perform Damage Calculation" and "After Damage Calculation" sub-steps. THANKS!
