With his firing back after being shot, does his firing arc count as 360? Or just the front 90 degrees?

Also does gunner allow the "firing back" to be rolled again if you fail to it.

Thanks

Welcome to the game (and the forums)!

With his firing back after being shot, does his firing arc count as 360? Or just the front 90 degrees?

His firing arc is still restricted to the printed arc on the ship token (which is actually slightly less than 90 degrees, but that's a common misconception). The primary weapon turret can attack ships outside of his firing arc, but his ability will only trigger on ships inside it.

Also does gunner allow the "firing back" to be rolled again if you fail to it.

Gunner allows a Primary weapon attack after performing any attack that misses, this could be from his ability or his normal attack, and is a separate attack. However, after using Gunner, you won't be able to attack again this round (so if his regular attack misses, and he uses Gunner, he won't be able to use his ability later, or if his ability triggers before his normal attack, and you use Gunner after that, then he won't get his regular attack), so you want to be sure that you don't want to attack anymore that round before using Gunner.

Examples:

• Dengar attacks a lower PS ship, misses, uses Gunner. Dengar won't be able to use his ability this round.
• Dengar is attacked by a higher PS ship in his firing arc, uses his ability, misses, uses Gunner. Dengar won't get his normal attack this round.
• Dengar attacks a lower PS ship, doesn't use Gunner. Later Dengar's ability triggers, he misses, he can use Gunner for a third attack.
• Dengar is attacked by a higher PS ship in his firing arc, uses his ability, doesn't use Gunner. Dengar later gets his normal attack, misses, he can use Gunner for a third attack.
