Forum:Ruling Question on Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry

When my Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry is being attacked by a higher attack monster, I proceed to apply its continuous effect. Do I take the full damage at "Substep 4" and then the damage is halved at "Substep 7"? Or do I just take the half of the damage at "Substep 4"?

The confusion came about because when you apply protection effect such as Shi En's or Zenmaines', you apply it at "Substep 4" and then actually destroy the Six Sam (for Shi En) or detach the xyz material (For Zenmaines) at "Substep 7". Did you notice the delay there? Number 102 said the damage will be halved only after you detach the xyz material, which happens at "Substep 7". In other words, you will take the full damage first at "Substep 4", and when you detach its materials at "Substep 7", only then would you halve that damage.

My source came from here. Take a look at it, it's a short thread: http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=1129168
