Screed vs Evade

By Red Castle, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

I just want to be sure.

During an attack, you modify your dice and spend accuracy icons(step 3) before the defender use his defense tokens(step 4).

So, if I didn't roll any accuracy, I would spend a dice to change another into a face with a crit in the modify dice step, but then my opponent could use his evade token to remove it at range 3 or reroll it at range 2. Correct?

Yes sir, you are correct, for exactly the reasons you listed.
