Talk:Bal Dragon, "Bal Burst Smasher!!"/@comment-25004901-20160820181936

I'm sorry for this stupid question, but, I don't know where I read this (it was comment chain on the wiki somewhere), does the opponent have a response timing before an Impact Monster attacks, or not? I mean, after the Final Phase and they attack, they obviously do, but I read somewhere on the wiki that they can't respond to cards like Bal Lariat with a Counter until AFTER it attacks. Meaning, resting cards won't affect it at that instance.

I just need confirmation on this, because I want to make sure  that I can get this right at the tournament. (Not only that, but I just saw a tournament video online, and someone responded to Bal Lariat with Dragodesperate and rested it. Which confused me because I thought they couldn't respond at that instance yet, unlike other instances before. But if you can, this can open up more opportunities for me, sorta.)
