Wedge vs Decimator at Range 3

By Tenka, in X-Wing Rules Questions

At range 3, does Wedges ability reduce the Decimators AGI back to 0? or does it actually remain as 1?

I ask because I noticed that Wedge's ability specifies "when attacking" ,which I would assume to be the start of the attack, comes before the modify defense dice step, which I would assume would be when the range bonus is applied.

But .. I'm making a lot of assumptions here, anyone care to correct me?

Edit: just to clarify, this is a unique for the decimator because it has AGI 0 base, any ship even AGI 1 base:

Reduce 1 to 0

then gain 1 for range back to 1

But in the decimators case you cannot reduce below 0 so wedges ability would get ignored:

Reduce 0 to 0

Then gain 1 for range up to 1?

The bonus dice from obstruction and range aren't actually an increase to the agility value.
Wedge would reduce the 0 to 0, and they still get to roll dice at long range.

And it actually isn't unique to the Decimator. There's that crit that reduces agility by 1, so this has been a valid question since Wave I. (X-Wing expansion and Y-Wing expansion both came out then).

Notably, agility dice get doubled by that one cannon in epic, but don't double the dice from being obstructed.
