Wes Ability?

By Darth Sarlacc, in X-Wing Rules Questions

When does his ability take effect???

Is it after he rolls the attack dice or after combat is resolved with him?

Thanks

Per FAQ:

Wes Janson When a ship is defending against Wes Janson, it may use focus, evade, and target lock tokens during the attack. Wes Janson’s ability does not remove a token until after the attack has been fully resolved.

Not clear,hence in the card clarifications from the FAQ:

"When a ship is defending against Wes Janson, it may use focus, evade, and target lock tokens during the attack. Wes Janson’s ability does not remove a token until after the attack has been fully resolved."

"After you perform an attack, you may remove 1 focus, evade, or blue target lock token from the defender."

It's after his attack is finished. He strips tokens for his buddies. Or he strips tokens that he is about to be attacked with.

Thanks

I know that you asked a rule question and not for advice, but I am a big fan of Wes despite the fact that his rule can seem underwhelming if you previously thought that it would steal a token before that token could be used. However, that rule gets a bit shinier if you have Keyan Farlander with a HLC and Opportunist parked next to Wes.

Give him VI and give Wedge 'Opportunist'. Wes fires first, strips the token, then Wedge mops up with an extra attack and reduced agility for the target. At R1, it can be devastating.

Wes should have flavour text reading "use it or lose it".

Wes is a great middle finger to Poe

And any TIE Advanced with ATC, any ally/enemy with juke will be buffed/screwed by his ability, most notably Omega Leader... In fact, with the current meta I think it's time to take Wes out for a spin!

Wes with VI+BB-8+IA seems like a solid way to spend 32 points.

Yea, I got him coming via ebay. Will try that out. Just been sick of Poe, so if Wes just stays at range 3 and fires at Poe, I will be a happy camper, haha. Maybe have Corran clean up afterwards!

I spent one game a while back stripping TLs from that TIE Advanced to can flip damage up, whats-hers-name.... Lt. Corsage? and Vader to remove his ATC capability. Good times.

Colzet.

The beauty with OL is that it takes two tokens to properly kill his effectiveness - the TL and the Evade that gives him Juke. Killing the TL is the worse of the two, but doing that means he still has Juke to shoot you with.

Yeah, but at least you can modify your dice when he does. Got into a one-on-one with OL once and it took forever to kill him because I couldn't do a **** thing to modify. Thankfully, he was rolling terribly too.
