That may be overkill, but it should guarantee that your least favorite upgrade goes away.

What happens when you discard a title such as A-wing test pilot

Same ruling with Integrated Astro and the EPT droid. Nothing happens. You don't lose the extra EPT.

funnily enough if you discard Dash's HLC because he has Outrider, he is unable to attack.... like at all.

I don't think that's the case. He was still able to attack when hit with a Munitions Failure, after all. He just downgrades to his primary weapon.

I could imagine Scum lists equipping Boba as Boba insurance.

I think the real unique part about Fett's crew card is that you get one shot. So determining what upgrade to get rid of will be critical. I can see some automatic ones, like Palpatine, but there will be some hard decisions to make...

there is only one real boba - and its the boba who takes out that fake boba over there

That'd make it Boba Fett taking out Jodo Kast then, right? :P

How will this work with Dual cards? Discarding means flipping.

That means Adaptability will drop you 2 PS.

We don't know that;s how dual cards work yet, so he may just discard the card as normal.

But discarding, in the current rules, means that you flip the card over.

When an Upgrade card is discarded, it is flipped facedown. The card is out of play for all purposes

except when determining the total squad point cost of the ship to which it was equipped.

He is awesome, no doubt. But let's not over-exaggerate his usefulness. You have to cancel dealing a face-up damage card (not a crit, per se) and it's one use. It's really only going to really be great against high hull ships such as the Falcon, Ghost, and Decimator that have a linchpin upgrade. Most other things will be situational. However, the THREAT of this card will affect the meta in some ways, as combo-heavy or upgrade-reliant "fat" ships are going to be less desirable. I'm sure Dash won't want to lose his HLC, for example, anymore than Han wants to lose C3PO or R2.

Quote of the day!

Side thought. Suppose you land a Direct Hit on Corran Horn, who happens to have a Hull Upgrade? Ha ha ha! That would be another fun Boba moment!

True, but we also don't know how dual cards actually work yet, people are assuming they are double sided but i'm not sure we actually know that yet.

Boba is someone you pack if your local meta is overrun by a single build.

Let the hate flow through you.

RIP Palpatine. It was fun while it lasted :(

is that the case? i know it used to be he is unable to fire due to the wording on the Outrider Title.

While you have a Upgrade card equipped, you cannot perform primary weapon attacks and you may perform secondary weapon attacks against ships outside your firing arc.

You aren't cancelling your damage card. You are discarding Boba Fett. The card says "Discard this card" it doesn't mean the damage card you already dealt, it means the Boba Fett card.

You are right about most, except you don't cancel dealing a face-up damage card. The card states when an attack deals a face-up damage card, you discard Boba to make them discard an upgrade on top of the crit.

Edit: Ninja'd darnit

Not true. The Outrider says "While you have a cannon upgrade equipped...." so if you lost the cannon you'd no longer have a cannon equipped. Therefore you could fire.

Yeah, I can't believe this version of Fett would have ever made it out of playtesting if he had the possibility of completely removing a ship's ability to attack for the rest of the game.

If you remove Chardan Refit without destroying the Awing, and this takes your opponents list over 100pts - do you automatically win as their list is now illegal? XD

It's a good card, but I'm not sure it's going to break the metagame, exactly. You have to (1) hit your target, and (2) deal face-up damage.

So you have to build around Boba Fett, and you have to do so in a faction that isn't the metagame's favorite, using ships that haven't ever featured heavily in the metagame. So you're heading uphill by even putting Boba Fett in the game.

And once you've done that, you still have to get past your target's shields. So the most heavily affected ships are those with low-Agility ships with proportionally few shields: Decimators, Ghosts, HWKs, maybe Y-wings. Tomax Bren will hate it.

But most arc-dodgers are already gambling that you can't hit them, so the fact that the penalty for doing so got a little worse doesn't really change the equation. Palpatine shuttles are an obvious target, but they also have lots of shields to get through.

There are a lot of powerful elements in the current metagame that are already so good that Fett won't push them out--he'll just provide a hard counter. Which seems pretty cool.

Are Titles considered to be Upgrade cards?

I have a feeling they aren't.

Consider that a "Title" signifies that a ship is just a particular version of a ship.

Being the "Moldy Crow" can't be removed by Boba Fett. Even if a ship gets damaged beyond repair, it is STILL the Moldy Crow.

There's gotta be wording in the rules somewhere to support this.

Moralo Eval - Mangler Cannon, Boba Fett, Gunner, Bossk

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHAH

Oh! I love that!

It wasn't when that Refit was hit with a Munitions Failure.

Also, considering that you're already dealing a faceup damage card to that A-Wing in order for this card to trigger in the first place, using Boba against it seems like a waste. It's already down to one hull. I can maybe see a case for Whisper's ACD, but even then I don't think it'll come up very often.

At that point you are trying to make it all about LORE rather than rules and gameplay.

Sure it's still the Moldy Crow... but it loses the ability that is unique to the Modly Crow... IF the computer Upgrade, the Special Modifications, whatever. It's not like Boba Fett sneaks on board the ship and removes the deck plating that has "Moldy Crow" chiseled into the metal. He sabotages the ship so it can no longer do the function on ONE card.

And the Chardran Refit is a good question. You obviously don't instantly win the game, but it could mean you end up getting more points than normal. I would suspect though, that like any point reduction ability, after the game begins, that card is essentially meaningless. Same with TIE Advanced X1 title. You'll still keep your system card.

Don't take my defender titles from me Fett.

Edit: pushed the panic button too soon my bad

Palpatine shuttles are an obvious target, but they also have lots of shields to get through.

Decimators and Shuttles have almost no chance of dodging AHM. Palpatine just became a coaster.
