Ion Damage and Greedo

By ishikabe, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Can you use Greedo's ability to make Ion damage crit?

Can you use Greedo's ability to make Ion damage crit?

No.

But you CAN use Greedo's ability to make the damage card from an Ion Cannon be dealt face-up.

This is different than a Crit :P

To be a little more clear, the ion effect deals a boom result, not a kaboom result. Basically, the fact that it is coming from an ion weapon stops being relevant at that point. Then the boom result gets turned into normal damage. Damage will first remove a shield token if there is one, if there isn't, then the damage will become a dealt damage card. This is the point where Greedo comes into play. If that damage card is being dealt during the first attack or defense by greedo's ship that round, and if it is the first damage card dealt in that attack, then it is dealt face up instead of face down.

Thanks for the fast replies

So, functionally the same, excepting abilities that directly deal with [KABOOM] results (like Draw Their Fire) rather than Faceup Damage (like Chewbacca and Leebo's pilot abilities)

I think you may be remembering Determination wrong?

Determination: "When you are dealt a faceup damage card..."

Chewbacca: "When you are dealt a faceup damage card..."

Meant "Draw Their Fire"
