Bossk q

By gambit1977, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Lets say Bossk fires a mangler cannon and ends up with 2 crits and 1 hit can Bossk use us ablity to turn it into3 hits and a crit even though he only rolled 3 dice?

Not quite. Bossk's ability happens AFTER an attack hits.... as in after the defender's roll and after results are compared. Right before actual damage is dealt.

Take these 3 examples:

You roll: crit crit hit

they roll: evade evade evade

-Your attack gets canceled out and does not 'hit'. Therefore Bossk's ability does not kick in. Final result is no damage.

You roll: crit crit hit

they roll: evade evade blank

-Your attack hits with 1 crit making it through. Bossk may then cancel your crit that is about to deal damage and replace it with 2 hits. Final result is hit hit (assuming you use Bossk)

You roll: crit crit hit

they roll: evade blank blank

-Your attack hits with 2 crits making it through. Bossk may then cancel ONE crit and replace it with 2 hits. Final result is crit hit hit (assuming you use Bossk)

**** we misplayed the hell outta his ability lol

It is possible for Bossk to deal more damage than he has dice, if the target totally blanks on Evades. Ex: Bossk gets hit, hit, crit and target gets no Evades. Attack hits and the. Bossk turns the crit to two hits, doing four damage total on a 3 Dice attack.

That crit could've been a Direct Hit, but Bossk's ability deals that double-damage vs SHIELDS as well, making him the only crit-dealer who isn't useless in the early game

Basically, Bossk doesn't make an attack more likely hit, but if it does hit it can do more damage.

Yes. The damage done is in no way caped by the number of dice rolled.

So to be sure bossk effect kicks in after defence modification. If there is one uncancled crit bossk then has to chose to either give the crit or give 2 reguler hit?

That's it. It's particularly useful against shields.

To be really clear, bossk kicks in after results are compared and the attack counts as 'hit'. There is no situation where bossk would allow a ship to deal 1 damage instead of 0.

Bossk- the (un)caped dice crusader
