Lets say Whisper has this bestowed on him,  when does the 'spend 1 die result to remove 1 shield from the defender' actually kick in?

Example, Whisper attacks with 4 dice, he rolls 3 x hits and 1 x blank,  can I 'spend' the blank to remove a shield immediately so the 3 x hits then either hit remaining shields or the hull (assuming defending ship doesnt block any of the 3 x hits) ?,  otherwise if it is spent after the hits then there might be no shields left to take etc?

I am assuming that this bonus kicks in before any dice are modified, either by the attacker or the defender?
