This question regards Angelica Durand's ability "Suddenly Doves," specifically the trigger "Not a Bomb"
The trigger states:
"When resolving, after Dropping the Shockwave Markers, choose one Dropped Shockwave Marker. Drop a Scheme Marker into base contact with the Shockwave Marker, then remove the Shockwave Marker."
So my question is, does the Shockwave happen? Or is the Shockwave marker removed before the Shockwave occurs?
Under "when resolving" timing (page 12), it says "Any new effects are resolved last, unless the Trigger specifies otherwise."
In this case, the trigger specifies it happens "after dropping" the markers. The rules for shockwave (page 31) say that "The Dropped Marker generates a equal to the Shockwave's value." but it doesn't specify when this happens.
I see two possible scenarios:
1) The shockwave marker is dropped and immediately spawns its shockwave. Then a Scheme marker is put into base contact and the Shockwave marker is removed.
The reasoning here is that the trigger effect happens "last," and so because the shockwave is a consequence of the Shockwave marker dropping, it occurs before the trigger.
2) The Scheme marker "replaces" the Shockwave marker before the shockwave occurs.
This reasoning being that the trigger's full effect occurs after dropping the markers but before resolving the shockwave. Also, the trigger's name seems to imply an intention to negate the shockwave, but I don't know how much credence to lend to ability/trigger names.
