You're assuming that the attack die kanan subtracts would always hit, but it wouldn't. Sometimes, kanan will be used to subtract an attack die that was going to miss anyway. To use your example: 3 attack dice, miss hit, hit. With kanan, the die that didn't hit was never rolled, but you still have two hits. .with Jan, one of the two hits is evaded, so only one hit goes through. See?

Now you're assuming we know which dice are going to hit or miss ahead of time. If that were the case, we wouldn't need statistics

3 attack dice deal 1.5 hits or 2 with a mod (focus or TL). 2 attack deal 1 hit or 1.5 with a mod. So Kanan reduces the incoming hits by 0.5 more or less. An evade token reduces it by 1. That's not the whole story though, see my post above...

Just to muddy up the waters a bit on the Kannan-reduce red by 1 vs an extra evade token, remember there are also other upgrades/ships out that like AC tempests. They surely wouldn't mind you spending a focus to reduce their initial roll by 1 red . Then you have stuff like autoblaster turret, or mangler Ten, Omega leader, etc. that don't let you spend an evade. So its definately not cut and dry, but on the whole for a single ship the evade would edge out the Kannan ability personally, since there will be times the oppenent rolls 0 out of 3 hits, or rolls 1 out of 3 hits at R3 and you naturally dodge it.

Certainly there are things to negate his ability, but there are also ways to increase his defensiveness. Sensor Jammer and Kyle w/ Jan crew are two obvious ones I think have been mentioned already (or should have if not). So I think to get the most out of him you need more than just his ability alone and so would likely have to build a list around him...

I like Lando, you only have a 14% chance that he will give you nothing.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaave you met my green dice?

Sorry. I thought we were screaming at Obiwonka because he's saying that negating a red die before it's rolled is the same as spending an evade token to cancel a hit. Clearly,it's not, and my example shows a case demonstrating that. I'm not saying it's better in all situations, nor even that it's different in all situations,. Just that ours not always the same.

I've had a match with Lando where he at least gave me something every roll. On the opposite end I've had games with Lando where I would roll blanks over and over.

As long as there are multiple attacks going on that he can modify, sure. (:

If he isn't then well, you are probably getting outflown unless you have a specific reason to keep him out of the fray...

Or you are out-flying your opponent and not giving them a chance to get many shots off...
