Dash Rendar

By Gaz 788, in Star Wars: The Card Game

Hi All,

I'm looking at Objective set 103 "Against all odds" which states " Each unit you control gains * while attacking an opponent who has more cards in hand than you."

To me and according to the new FAQ (as I understand) this means when I declare attackers you compare hand sizes for the activation of this ability, which they will keep the icon until the end of this battle.

Dash Rendar has the ability "While this unit is attacking alone, it gains * for each card in the defending players hand."

To me again and according to the FAQ as I understand it, their are two triggers, Attacking and alone, then you tally up cards in the opponents hand during the attack step when Dash is declared as an attacker.

Are my statements true or have I mis-interpreted the cards and the timing/trigger rules from the FAQ?

Cheers

The conditions on Dash Rendar are checked at the time he strikes, if at this moment he is attacking alone, he gains a * for each card in your opponent's hand.

Same for the objective, it is checked at the time the unit strikes since it's the moment where theses effects are relevant. They're permanent effects, and as such are recalculated permanently.

Thanks for the reply.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying your wrong in the slightest, but the reason I said what I said is that is that your "attacking" when you declare attackers. Your "Focusing to strike" when you use your icons in combat.

This is the reason I put this on here is because I was reading the new FAQ about triggers and I believe it redefines the cards.

Thanks for the input :)

Medfreeman is correct.

It's actually not quite true that it initiates when the unit focuses to strike. Dash (and other units when Against All Odds is on table) have the extra blast icon(s) at any time when they are attacking and the opponent has more cards in hand than you (or any cards at all for Dash). This includes times outside of the strike but still during the engagement (for the purposes of things like Echo Caverns).

Ok, thanks for the input all.

Thanks for the precision dbmeboy, i should have taken care more of the wording of my answer.
