Look at the level 3 upgrade:If an enemy enters your space when using this skill...
The only way an enemy would enter your space when USING the skill would be if, after the attack, you move the nearest enemy 2 spaces toward you.
So the Instead, only applies to the 'dice' part of the skill. Karen's (Unknowable) Command skill has a similarly used 'instead' where the higher level upgrades clarify the intent.
