Hi all!

Can I use the target lock from R5-K6 for the second attack of the twin laser turret?

R5-K6:

"After spending your target lock, roll 1 defense dice. On an evade result, immediately acquire a target lock on that same ship. You cannot spend this target lock during this attack."

Twin Laser Turret:

"Attack: Perform this attack twice (even against a ship outside your firing arc). Each time this attack hits, the defender suffers 1 damage. Then cancel all dice results. Attack: 3. Range: 2-3."

Thx

I don't see why not. They are separate attacks.

Am I right in thinking that this would work well with Horton Salm?

But of course

Problem is his (lack of durability)

But slap on r4-d6, and forget the stress (you got your ability) and you're good to go

Actually, it works horribly with Horton. Horton gets free rerolls (of blanks), so he doesn't want to TL. His action wants to be focus. And I believe FGD meant R3-A2 to dish out the stress since you have your ability for rerolls.

assuming you can roll an evade. I don't see R5-K6 being pared with BTL-A4 that much.

Aye, it's a riskier play... but to be fair, I think he's one of those astromechs people don't even bother to try. With Rebel Y-Wings, players seem typically content to just slap on the StressBot or a generic R2 and call it a day.

I am in the minority but I believe a generic R5 > a generic R2 on a turreted Y-Wing. You just don't get stress enough on a turreted Y-Wing for R2 to make a difference. R2 will help against a stress build, but R5s will trigger more often overall.

that's not what I meant either way, I was talking about just TLT with Horton

r4-d6 (obviously not r5) is the 1 point "**** you HLC" droid

Without the title yes R-5 would trigger more especially with crits now becoming more common. However it only effects ship crits and 3 ship crits are self turning. Not to mention if your 4th damage card is a direct hit you are not going to have a chance to use R-5.

With the title you really need those extra green maneuvers to be able to turn while shaking off stress.

For me it's more like "and another blank green and another blank green"

Yeah thats pretty solid whether you go BTLA4 or not. With Title i would go for an R2 as you want to have your focus every turn. R5... Well last time i ran it icould flip a crit, but it was the one that discarded my ion cannon anyway... So that was kinda too late!

I've never had much luck with this droid, too fickle.

Having just tried a Horton build with TLT, I have to say he's a rockstar. Especially with EU. I gave him R2-D6 and expert handling to make him extra squirrelly which was nice, though not huge. I think VI is the better bet over all since boosting with a turret is just so much better. With VI he clocks in at 37 pts. Which is a lot, but let me tell you, in all three games he was ferocious. Very difficult to get a bead on and almost always landing both shots. I had paired him with Miranda and Cracken which was a fun list. The extra actions from AC were a huge deal, letting Horton boost out of arc or range after taking his shots.

I don't see why not. They are separate attacks.

Falls under the same rules as Stressbot. People have been putting only 1 stress from both shots as it's a single attack, not two separate attacks.

Edit: Never mind. Stress bot is when declaring a target, not when performing an attack. I rescind my statement, I think it does trigger on the second attack. Sorry!
