Nightcrawler "HA-HA" & Puff of Smoke Timing

[Shendinghelp12]

Hello,

Nightcrawler's "HA-HA" states "After damage is dealt, if Nightcrawler is not within Range 2 of the target character, the target character gains stun".

Nightcrawler's "Puff of smoke" reactive superpower states "When this character makes an attack, after damage is dealt, this character may use this superpower. Place this character within Range 2 of the target character."

How does the timing for this work? Does a Nightcrawler attacking outside of range 2 have to decide whether he will use puff of smoke *before* the stun condition can be applied?

Thank you!

They both occur at the same time, meaning he may choose the order that those effects resolve in.
