Can admiral screed effect black die?

By darkfortunex, in Star Wars: Armada

I ask becouse I noticed all black die have a critical and a hit icon. Yet screed only seems give a critical if you spend a die. Only blue and red die have just the critical icon.

Screed's effects state that you may spend one die (remove from the rolled results) in order to change one other die to a side with a crit icon. So yes, you can change a black dice to a side with a hit and a crit.

Edit: Corrected "day" to "die". Stupid autocorrect. ;)

Beatty, just for you

The same effect applies to "Warlord".

Where you could change a red accuracy die to a side with two hits, not just one.

Yep, Screed's Gladiators can suck Long Range shots.

Can not wait for Admiral Ackbar.

from the ffg article "ready for battle" (about 2/3rds of the way down under imperial strategy for the 300 point fleet)

Once you get into range to attack with all your dice, Admiral Screed guarantees you at least one black swm01_crit_hit_black.png result per activation per ship, and that means you can trigger your Assault Concussion Missiles for two extra damage, assigned to the hull zones adjacent to the one you’re targeting.

Oh Beatty, don't be so down. Your time will come :)

It think the MC30's are going to be a good counter to them. In fact the MC30's are going to be as big of a pain in the butt as the GSD's.

Thanks guys! Sorry I didn't see that battle ready article. Thank you for the info!

not really as much of a pain because they will never have demolisher.

which imo is the best single ability in the game currently and will probably remain one of the best throughout the entirety of the games lifetime.

Of course! asking these simple questions that your not 100% clear about is how you become better at the game. we are happy to help :)

yup, you guys beat me to it

there's a world of difference between "a dice face with a *crit*" and "a dice face with one *Crit*"

though I guess the black dice satisfy the conditions either way :P (warlord's red dice wouldn't)

The Rebels get nice toys too you know.

But I am just going to play around and find its counter. It most likely exists.

(And he wasn't playing Dominator.)

We don't know the Named ships yet for the MC30' s that I know of and most likely they will be offensive, so I can't wait to see their power.

But we do know it will not be the domolisher and that unless ffg wants to give you rebels an Identical ship it will not be as good as demolisher because nothing is as good as domolisher...

I am not overly concerned about that Named ship at this moment, there is another issue that came up. And the Domolisher will have its counter, or it will dominate the tournament scene and FFG will Nerf it. So don't wish too hard or it will get Whispered.

P.s what is the other issue?

(O and I don't mean to be a jerk or anything so don't take my post the wrotheway, they are mostly light hearted jests and such)

it has a counter, shoot it with all of your ships

It's weird. VSD no problem, got that thing figured out. The GSD being the pain, or at least your build, just seems wrong.

I'm actually looking forward to the potential for viscous knife-fights between 30s and GSDs. That could be real fun.

Another thing I just remembered, if that nasty thing you found turns out to be too powerful and dominates the Tournament scene FFG will get out the Nerf canon and hit it where it hurts.

But I am just going to play around and find its counter. It most likely exists.

I have to wonder if Wave 2 rebels will get tractor beams, and if they'll be that sort of counter. Something that can tie down or slow the Demolisher.

Pure speculation, but an intriguing thought.

Died horribly to that crap last weekend. First time in a long time I have been visibly angry on a game. Changed the list and totally snipered that crap with Escort Frigates.

In case you missed my edit, what was the issue?

On a serious note the main way to protect your ships from gladiator is to use a bombers screen and a couple well timed squadren commands, preferably with b-wings other then that I am not sure there is a real "counter" currently

Mon mothma helps and advance projector also can keep your ship alive for an extra turn or 2 against it

I get the distinct uneasy feeling that my regular opponent is planning to create a denial cordon around his ships with B-wings after he got a taste of Screed and Demolisher.

Given that every battle I've fielded GSDs in has seen at least one of them killed, I am not too eager to fly right at something like that.

The issue, I am not sure I should be the one to make it known.

I did use B-Wings as a great scene in one game and it messed with his movement.
