Kinetic Soldier and Limiter Removal

Da Twiggy Man!
Alright, first off I just need a quick refresh if this is even legal or not. I'm leaning towards it being illegal.

Player B has a face up Attack Position Mystic Swordsman LV2. Player A has Kinetic Soldier in hand with a Set Limiter Removal. Player A attacks with Kinetic Soldier. During Step 3 in the Damage Step, you calculate damage. Since Kinetic Soldier activates at this point, would it be a legal activation for Player A to activate Limiter Removal after Kinetic Soldier resolves?

I'm just curious about this and like I said I believe that this is an illegal action.

During the damage calculation, similar to when a monster like "Airknight Parshath" would have you draw a card

Isn't it to late to modify the attack here? The damage has already been done.

That is the same time they were discarded in the scenario.

I.E. The Dark world monsters activated in the same sub-step they were discarded.
They didn't have to wait.

So if they were discarded earlier they would activate earlier.

That's an interesting chain you offered here DaGuy...

However, the response you have from UDE suggests the resolution of Night Assailant's effect would occur in substep 4, not substep 5. If the resolution occurs in substep 4 similar to Don Zaloog and Airknight Parshath, it would be too late to apply the effect of Limiter Removal.

Unfortunately, the question and ruling you refer to involve a discard effect like with Don Zaloog. This occurs in substep 4 AFTER Damage calculation. Your proposed scenario, causes an effect to be triggered during substep 3. The question is, do we resolve the effect in substep 3 or wait until substep 4? It would be a good question to ask UDE.
