Talim4: Instead...?

By MegaGeese, in UFS Rules Q & A

Talim4
R Discard 1 momentum: After your opponent's attack gets a damage bonus, that attack gets -X damage. X equals the bonus given. If your opponent's character has greater "HT" and "WT" than yours, halve the damage of the attack instead (rounded up).

I think this has been brought up, just curious. In the case of "instead", would that apply to the damage bonus (halving the damage instead of giving any bonus) or halving the damage instead of canceling out the bonus with an equal reduction?

It seems like one of those "play as intended" situations, that's all.

you add the bonus given, then half the total damage.

you can do this each time a bonus is given.
