Count Dooku - Surely you can do better and Twice the pride quastion

[bacakg]

Hi,

In a couple of topics here on the forum, you stated that Surely you can do better and Twice the pride can be used for the same attack. For example, after dice are rolled you can use Surely you can do better to remove 1-3 hits, and then activate Twice the pride if there are no more hits in the pool.

I would like to know how is this possible when these are both reactive abilities, and during one trigger you can use only one of those abilities. How I read it, or you manage to remove all hits and you can use Twice the pride, or you didn't and you have the option to use Surely you can do better to remove 1-3 hits. Can you please let me know what is the correct answer here, can those two be used simultaneously or not? And if yes how does this override rule of one reactive ability per trigger?

Kind regards

These abilities do not share the same triggering event. Per the errata, Surely You Can Do Better's trigger event is the model defending and Twice the Pride, Double the Fall's trigger is an attack, with the conditions that it was a melee attack against an allied character within range 2.
