Rexler Brath vs Chewbacca

By Rikk1980, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Got a quick question,

What would the interaction between Rexler's ability (spend a focus to flip and face-down damage dealt face-up) be with Chewbacca as a Pilot (when dealt face-up damage flip the card face-down)?

Because the way I've read it, Chewy ONLY triggers when the damage is dealt, which means Brath can bypass his ability, doesn't it?

Yep. If a card tells you to FLIP a damage card, Chewie is all out of luck.

As noted, Chewbacca only looks for incoming face-up cards and effectively turns them face-down before they land. Rexlar's ability just looks at the cards that have just landed and then flips those.

It would be possible for Brath to deal Chewie face-up cards which Chewie turns face down only for Brath to spend a Focus and turn them all face-up again.

The interaction is basically the same as with Saboteur and Colzet.
