Question

126 – I am playing Spectrum and have the Armadillo minion engaged with me. The Armadillo minion has just come into play, so has its Tough status still. I have Gamma Blast in hand, it is my turn, and Spectrum is in Pulsar form. Can I play Gamma Blast, targeting the Armadillo minion, and flipping to Gamma form, then use the hero response on Gamma (“After you change to this form, deal 1 damage to an enemy”), to remove the Armadillo minion’s Tough status before dealing it 7 damage?

Answer

No. You must resolve the first sentence of Gamma Blast in full before resolving the Response on Gamma form.
