Flechette Cannon and Tactician

By TheGreedyMerchant, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Can both of these trigger at the same time? If I attack someone at range 2 with flechette cannon and have tactician can I give them the stress from the cannon first and then stress them again with tactician (Lets pretend I meet all the requirements to trigger both things at the same time, range 2 in firing arc and the defender isn't stressed.)

Stress from FC is resolved when you resolve damage. Tactician resolves after the attack.

You can double stress with the two, but they don't resolve simultaneously.

Perfect. That is what I wanted to be clear on. Thank you Funkleton.

Not quite right on the timing... FC is like an ion cannon - it triggers from the hit, not from any actual damage, which occurs in Step 6. It's a bit nitpicky, but if you have something like Draw Their Fire that moves a sole result, the defender will still take the damage and stress token.

Nitpicky is fine with me - I kind of knew that but I was struggling to find a way to express it concisely

So you could triple stress a target with Fletchette cannon and 2 Tacticians on a shuttle. That's evil.

You could pass out 4 stress with 2 Tacticians and Gunner on a Decimator.

Add flechette torpedoes for a total of 5 stress tokens.

Yeah, but that's a 49 point ship at a minimum and you have to miss with your first shot.

This shuttle build has me thinking:

OGP + Tactician x 2 + EU + Adv. Sensors + Fletchette cannon = 34

Kind of on the pricey side for a shuttle, but its decently mobile and can deal stress like a boss.

For the same points I think an OGP w/Tactician, Gunner, FCS, and EU would be more effective.
