Hi, a question on Bossk pilot's ability. Does he actually have to create a landed attack to use his ability?

Say, he attacks with Mangler on Soontir with an evade token.

hit and crit.

Soontir gets 2 evades.

Does this attack technically miss and thus Bossk cannot change his crit to 2 hits to land a hit now?

Bossk needs an attack that hits, and an attack that hits is one where there is one or more uncancelled <boom> or <kaboom> results after the Compare Results step. In your example, Bossk has missed as Soontir has evaded and cancelled all the applicable results. Bossk does not trigger.

If Soontir rolled no evades and had to spend his token, he would only cancel the <boom> result, and the <kaboom> would be uncancelled, resulting in a hit. Bossk could then convert the <kaboom> into two <boom> results and then proceed to the Deal Damage step.

Holy moly. We've been cheating in practice. Tsk tsk. I should have won more. =D

Bossk's ability is essentially being able to make one crit per attack into a Direct Hit!.

I've always thought it was a pretty fluffy ability when taking into account Chewies's ability.

But only if he hits.

Not to add results to make it easier to hit.

Spizzactly.

​He spikes his laser-beams with rusty nails. You can dodge them as well as any other, but man do they hurt more if you don't.

Plus tetanus is a real *****.

Except a Direct Hit only counts as two if it is dealt as a face-up. Bossk is even better because it can splatter two shield tokens even without dealing any cards.

And those can get flipped face-up by other abilities

okay, but i guess i didnt need to 4 evade each of his attacks anymore.

which kinda makes me sad, cuz i was hoping bossk could kill some aces with more certainty.

Land a solid crit and he will.
