Balan's activated ability has no timing restriction. You can activate it any time you have priority.
- WotCAug 25, 2017
If Balan deals first-strike damage and then gains double strike (most likely because it picked up some Equipment with its activated ability after first-strike damage was dealt), it will also deal regular combat damage.
