Stealth device + draw their fire

By dotswarlock, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Here is a scenario,

A tie defender + stealth device gets shot at and the dice roll 2 hits + 1 critical. The defender rolls 2 evade, however, a friendly tie has draw their fire, and takes the critical hit instead of the tie defender. Does the defender lose the stealth device, despite suffering no damage?

(A "hit" is required for draw their fire to activate, but does it nullify the "hit" that would cause you to lose the stealth device?)

In the same line, Lieutenant Blount fires an assault missile at the same tie defender, but roll all misses. The assault missile generates a hit, as per the pilot ability, but does it also get rid of the stealth device considering that there is no damage?

Thanks in advance! :)

Since Draw Their Fire only activates when (after) you are hit, so you would discard the stealth device.

Regarding Blount, yes the stealth device is also discarded, because the target was hit.

There is a distinction between being hit and being dealt damage. Stealth device is discarded on just being hit, no damage needed. On the other hand, if you fly into an asteroid you are only being dealt damage (possibly), you are not hit. So a stealth device survives an asteroid collision.

To the first part, I am not sure. I suspect that you would lose it, as for Draw Their Fire to trigger the other ship need to be hit. Being hit is what causes you to lose the SD.

The second question is already answered in the offical FAQ. You cannot lose the stealth device to anything other than a recieved Hit, just damage being caused (asteroid/mine/Decimator crash) will not do it.

Ignore!

Im an idiot.
