There is only 1 play timing during the attack (During step 2 of the attack phase).

This timing is the only timing that can be used to use both shields, and this card's [Counter] during battle.

You cannot activate this card's [Counter] during "the damage step" before the damage hits (in Buddyfight, it is Step 3 of the attack phase). Your only timing is already after the damage hits.

If you do choose to activate this card's [Counter] during step 2, after your opponent has declared no use of shields, then they may still use a shield in response to this card's effect.
