Syncing blockchain with prune enabled

Question

I'm syncing a node with prune enabled. Will it download the whole blockchain and then prune to my given settings after, or does it prune as it syncs?

It will prune as it synchronizes. Disk usage shouldn't ever reach more than a few GB plus what you configured the pruning limit to.

Thanks and should I enable reindexchainstate with pruning?

No, that'll just make it start over.
