Resolving a card's ability or effect is also higher-priority than checking Reactions, so a card will not attempt to react until all the card's effects are applied. For instance, if Maw Jaw is hit by the [[Berry Blade]], which deals damage and then heals the front ally, Maw Jaw will not react until the ally is healed. Similarly, if [[Monch]] eats an ally while [[Groff]] is on the field, Groff will not react until Monch has finished attacking. This property is also what prevents cards from reacting to hits that inflict them with Snow or Ink. | Resolving a card's ability or effect is also higher-priority than checking Reactions, so a card will not attempt to react until all the card's effects are applied.

Reactions have a hidden internal order of operations that is not immediately obvious, mainly because some Reactions are triggered on attack declaration, while others are triggered on hit. For instance, assume that a Companion has a [[Mimik]] in the row and then attacks an enemy with Smackback. Mimik triggers whenever an ally in the row attacks, while Smackback triggers when the card is hit by another. Because an ally declaring an attack is an earlier event than actually hitting the card, the Companion would attack and hit the enemy card, and then Mimik would trigger and attack before the enemy card could react. If the enemy survived both of these attacks, it would then appropriately trigger against the Companion and Mimik. | |||
