Etahn question

By Robert2269, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hey all, I've been browsing these forums looking for clarification on a particular set of cards.

I'm trying to pair Etahn with a BTL-4 titled y-wing and twin laser turrets. If Etahn has arc on my y wings target and I use TLT and my normal attack after ... How many of the hits can I turn up to crits using Ethan's ability assuming at least one hit with each of the 3 attacks?

Etahn's ability triggers once, and only once, per attack. The primary attack is separate from the turret attack, and the TLT counts as two separate attacks against a single target. So you'd be able to trigger Etahn's ability three times during the Y-wing's attacks.

Here's the problem: changing hits to crits won't help for the TLT attacks. Since the TLT only checks to see if each attack gets through the opponent's defense roll, then cancels all dice results, crits really don't make a difference. If you roll three crits with a TLT, and your opponent rolls no evades, the end result is still just one, non-critical damage.

(Also, you should take another look at the BTL-A4 card. The primary attack has to come before the turret attack, not after.)

Ok that makes sense, thanks!
