The ability is actually during battle.

Regarding Counterattack, Counterattack will only matter for the attack. Therefore, if the ability followed up by Succubus's attack were to completely remove the monster with Counterattack, Counterattack will not destroy Succubus.

Regarding Soulguard, the ability will destroy it, and then the attack will too (assuming you actually can).
