A Scum Kath Question

By Shadowmax, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I'm still relatively new to the game ( a year ) and have not flown the bounty hunter much. Looking at the New Kath's ability, I have a couple of questions regarding cannons.

1/ can you fire a cannon out the back?

2/ with her ability, would she add an extra die to the attack roll for the 'said' cannon?

Thanks guys!

Secondary weapon cannons can only be fired from the primary (front) arc of the Firespray. You can't shoot them out the rear.

Thanks Tezz!

Kath with Opportunist could add an extra die out of the back...so range 1 would be 6 dice with opportunist...but you get a stress and have to ensure the defender doesn't have focus or evade tokens prior to the attack...but that with TL would be nasty. Hit them with a Seismic charge first...ouch!

She could also, in theory, use her rear arc to add an extra damage to a Hot Shot Blaster. However, the only time you're gaining anything by doing so is when firing at range 2 with a Weapon Malfunction.

Yes you can.
