Damage Reduction abilities and Blocks

[Dragon7507]

Needing to get some clarification on how Damage reduction works along with blocks.

 

In a game today, attacked Luke Cage with 3 damage from an attack. Luke rolled 2 shields to block two of those attacks, leaving 1 damage to go through. Opponent stated that Unbreakable Skin first reduced the damage to 2, allowing the two blocks to stop everything. 

I believe this is incorrect and that Unbreakable Skin would trigger after the shields were applied, meaning 3 damage, two blocked, but then Unbreakable Skin cannot reduce, since it is at the minimum of 1 damage. My reasoning for this is the inclusion of characters that have flat damage reduction with no minimum (like Thanos) as a "better" version of the ability.

This is incorrect. 

The timing chart in Appendix A covers this. Attack succcesses vs. blocks is determined in step 10. Unbreakable Skin applies when Luke Cage would take damage--step 12.
