Order of special and supertalent

Hi, I found an interesting target during yesterday’s rush war.
The middle three heroes were conventionnal (Ludwig, Alfrike and LOTL) but the wings (p1 and p5) were interesting : Isarnia and Costumed Master Lepus.
I am a smart guy and saw an opportunity for my Mitsuko to shine (lol).
The fight was going as planned and I killed the middle three and charged my Mitsuko at the perfect moment. I was licking my lips to see Isarnia and Lepus commit seppuku but things didn’t go as planned…
Isarnia hit 3 of my heries and lowered their defense, then Lepus almost wrecked me. I was lucky to survive and win this match. Needless to say I was surprised.
Can you guess what happened ? My understanding is that Isarnia’s supertalent (dispell as she is a magician) kicked in before the special. I realised at this moment I had fallen into a trap.
I consider myself a knowledgeable player but I didn’t see this coming. The defense player obviously knew what he was doing there.
Is that a bug or do supertalents kick in before the special skill ?

Lol… I’m amazed how I miss such important details regarding specials skills or talents and other things in that game!
First I learned that any tile can activate Jinx (doesn’t have to be a troop of a wizard hero) and how it can dispell buffs BEFORE damage…
Thanks!

Thx Radar, you are absolutely right (although the french translation isn’t as clear).
It almost makes me want to reemblem my ow Isarnia.

Nice trap anyway.
