Card Rulings talk:Karakuri Strategist mdl 248 "Nishipachi"

After being Special Summoned by the effect of Soldier "Nisamu"
Question: If Strategist "Nishipachi" is Special Summoned by the effect of Soldier "Nisamu" after it has been destroyed by battle, does Strategist "Nishipachi" still get to activate his effect due to it still being the damage step, or does this occur after the damage step has ended?
