When battling FallenAngel he won coin toss and attacked.

When my turn I started with Soldier Ed's roulette to gain life, buffs and power. His SSD equiped with strike talismans then attacked!!!!

Is this as it is supposed to be? I mean, the talismans description say 35% chance to attack back at who just attacked you. And heal, buff and powering up (not even stolen) is no direct attack imo.
