Decoy and bodyguard

By Bloodstripe Baron, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Could you use decoy and bodyguard to work together? Could you use decoy to buff a ship like torkil and then have another ship use bodyguard to give him the extra dice?

Yes.

I don't see how decoy and bodyguard interact?

Bodyguard requires that the ship you're buffing is a higher PS than you

Decoy switches PS

Therefore, if the ship with lower PS has Decoy, and the ship with higher PS has Bodyguard, the ship with Decoy could swap PS, and get buffed by Bodyguard, even though that's otherwise impossible.

They trigger at the same time, so it's possible.

Ahhhh, I use Bodyguard so often that I forget it had that PS requirement :P
