You can't fool me, Ion Cannon Batteries aren't a real card!

A friend tells me he saw Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster playing Armada together once. Apparently Ion Cannon Batteries are really big in their meta.

I mean. . . I understand the card. . . but it is like cluster bombs . . . so much wasted potential. . .

Not sure what the email was for? It's clearly laid out you state the location of the redirect when you spend the token.

I was about to vigorously disagree with you, but then I went back to the RRG to check and... you're definitely right.

Defense tokens can be spent by the defender during the “Spend Defense Tokens” step of an attack to produce the effects described below:

Redirect: The defender chooses one of its hull zones adjacent to the defending hull zone. When the defender suffers damage from this attack, it may suffer any amount of damage on the chosen zone’s shields (up to the shields remaining on that zone) before it must suffer the remaining damage on the defending hull zone.

The only indication I see of an effect resolving during the Resolve Damage step is that the redirected damage is actually suffered "when the defender suffers damage", which happens during Resolve Damage . It clearly states that the defender chooses the hull zone upon spending the token, even though the effect doesn't take place until later.

We often use the shorthand of "redirect resolves during the Resolve Damage step," but that's not strictly true. It might be more accurate to look at it as resolving at Spend Defense Tokens but not producing an effect until Resolve Damage .

Come on, Man... How many times have we had something "Clearly Laid out" and I've spent 6 hours arguing that point, anyway?

I'm not Disagreeing by the way - I just want to put it in black and smudge so when I make that call , I don't get lynched

Hahahah! Oh! I see....

Thank you for explaining all of this, it was something that was confusing to me.

Dras, with your rep in this forum, you could purposely explain something bas-akwards and I'd totaly believe you....
