NOTE: This was just an idle thought exercise for me. I am aware the odds of this are extremely small. However, feel free to tell me the odds.

REQUIREMENTS:

Rexlar Brath with Opportunist and Cluster Missiles, with no stress, a focus token and TL on the Decimator.

One very poorly shuffled Force Awakens damage deck

A Decimator with no focus or evade tokens.

THE SEQUENCE:

Rexlar fires the first missiles. He deals three hits and takes down three shields.

Rexlar fires the second Cluster with Opportunist. He gets three hits and one crit, stripping the last shield, dealing two facedown cards and one crit. The crit flips up, revealing a Major Explosion. It successfully hits, and deals a critical hit. The result of the crit is another Major Explosion, which is also successful and deals a Direct Hit. We are now at 6 hull damage.

Rexlar then spends the focus token. He flips up the two facedown cards, revealing two more Direct Hits. Decimator is now at 4 hull. He then resolves the two Major Explosions again. These are both successful, dealing two more Direct Hits. That's enough to finish off the Decimator.

If anyone is ever the victim to this combo, I'm so, so sorry. But also, congrats on making history.

Hello Rexler, my old friend...

Yeah, you could double the damage of a 3 Attack hit (2 hits and a crit). A bit scary.

Hello Rexler, my old friend...

I read that in Obi-wan's voice and literally lol'd.

"The Defender needs a fix!"
>This

Daaayum.

EDIT: Starting to think the damage deck and clever play is the fix almost anything could use as a fix.

While that is a staggeringly unlikely set of events i can see it possibly happening.

If only because i once saw my house mate kill an eldar war walker with a las pistol in 2nd edition 40k *twice* by managing to hit on a 4+, get through the power field on a 6, hit the pilot on a 1, wound him on a 4+, pilot failed his armour save.

My other house mate troy was so disgusted and incredulous , Adam (the war walker killer) said 'fine', i'll reroll that attack... and got the SAME sequence of events more or less, same end result anyway, i think the wound roll was better the second time round

(we did all think he'd sold his soul to the devil for dice rolling skills as he had phenominally good rolls all the time)

I wouldn't really call this a fix. It requires a lot of setup, a sub-ideal EPT on Rexlar, and extreme luck on both dice rolls and card draws.

But the new deck is definitely a boon for Rexlar. Being able to tag opponents with things like Major Hull Breach or Major Explosion are much deadlier than the previous options.

If you have Yorr on the field, it's easier as he can pull the stress from Opportunist, allowing you to use it for both cluster missiles.

Yorr could also run the Advanced Sensors/Fleet Officer combo, making it easier for Rexlar to acquire that Focus/TL combo.

That would be a good way to counter someone who put Shield Upgrade on their Decimator as a way to protect against this.

Hahaha!

Fun. I like virtual impossibilities. There are now enough of us playing this game that statistically it will happen often enough to be amusing.

I feel stupid. I love Rexlar, despite the fact that I have almost never got his ability to trigger. But I never realised (probably because it's almost never triggered) that he flips all his cards inflicted.

What a dumbass I am.

Stop trying to find more excuses to play underused ships. Don't you know you're supposed to ***** and moan about the over powered one-

-oh, it's SableGryphon. Carry on.

Sorry, Yorr can't take the opportunist stress. It's take a stress to roll an extra die, not roll an extra die and receive a stress. So, like Fel's ability, Yorr doesn't help. I found this out when I postulated the same exact thing (with using opportunist on both attacks for the final piece of damage) awhile ago, and then someone had to shatter my dreams.

A shame. I can say that Yorr works well as a Palpmobile to absorb stress from ptl/turns, so hes at least a consideration now.

Blast, Opportunist is even specifically cited under the Captain Yorr portion of the FAQ.

Okay, so a Shield Upgrade would allow the Decimator to live.

I think the math is a little off.

So 6 crits total plus the focus token for flipping cards.

Decimator has 4 shields 12 hull. You roll 3 crits then 3 crits again.

the first attack and the first crti are against the shields. 2 crits left.

Major explosion rolls a hit and flips a direct hit (3 damage) the last one rolls another major explosion and flips up another direct hit (3 damage) Rexlar uses his focus token to flip up one of the major explosions which give another direct hit.

So there is 2 face down major explosions and 3 direct hits which comes up to 8 hull damage. Major explosion is a buff to minor explosion but remember only 7 of the cards are direct hits and a lot of the critical hits are not lasting effects. Yess there is a possibility of getting 3 hits now (so now Soontir can die in a single crit) but honestly aside for direct hits the damage deck has lost alot of its lasting effects.

Who are you calling a typewriter?

I think the math is a little off.

So 6 crits total plus the focus token for flipping cards.

The first 4 strip shields and then the remaining 3 get 1direct hit and 2 major explosions (4 shields and 4 hull damage done so far)

The major explosions both flip additional direct hits (4 more hull damage, up to 8. With 2 explosions and 3 direct hits) then flip themselves face down.

Then brath flips the explosions back up, and they get another 2 direct hits (yet 4 more hull damage, total 12. With 2 explosions and 5 direct hits) killing the decimator and leaving your opponent totally stunned.

Then your opponent points out that you were actually at range 3, so the CM attack was illegal and you have to reroll the attack with your primary.
