Cancel a Vader Crew Crit?

By NorseJedi, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So, with Vader as crew, Vader can:

"After you perform an attack against an enemy ship, you may suffer 2 damage to cause that ship to suffer 1 critical damage."

Let's say you have no shields, but do have an evade token. Can you cancel the crit with that evade token? The "suffer" rather than "dealt" makes me optimistic, but the "after you perform an attack" indicates that you aren't modifying dice, which makes me think no and it can't be cancelled. Your logic is appreciated.

No, you can only use dice or tokens to cancel <hit> or <crit> results, not damage.

No, you can only use dice or tokens to cancel <hit> or <crit> results, not damage.

Thanks for the confirmation.
