Vessery and TIE/d title - double tap

By Jedu, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi, I just want to make sure - if Colonel Vessery flies his TIE Defender with TIE/d title and lets say tractor beam, can he reroll attack dice two times - one time for each attack? Just like Corran Horn with FCS?

E.g. the defender has someone elses target lock on himself, then Vessery shoots tractor beam and gets instant TL which he may spend, and after that Vessery fires his primary on the same target and also gets instant TL. Is that correct?

Secondly, does TIE/d title allows to shoot at two different targets - cannon at one ship, primary at another?

Yes, as long as the defender is locked by someone else, Vessery would (as TIE/D is currently written) fire his tractor beam, immediately acquire a lock which he can spend to reroll any number of dice, then be able to shoot with his primary against any target in his arc (the same one, if the tractor hasn't moved it out of his arc, or a different one) and assuming THAT target also has someone else's lock on it, immediately gain a lock and use it to reroll any number of dice against the second target.

No, they don't have to be the same target, you can choose two different ones, though unless you've accidentally moved the tractor target out of your arc, it would be very rare that you would want to.

Thanks a lot, that clarifies my doubts.

Yep that's how it works he's highly accurate, also with ept like ruthlessness he'd trigger that twice so vessery can potentially do five damage in a round two of which can't be avoided.

Another cool addition in veterans is the tie shuttle put a fleet officer on board and vessery has two locks and two focus which further ups his chances.
