HotAC pre-maneuver daredevil and ship overlapping

By avaktor, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So Heroes of the Aturi Cluster allows for some card interactions that would never happen in the normal game.

Consider Tycho Celchus' pilot ability, Daredevil, BB-8, Experimental Interface and Engine upgrade.

You can reveal a green maneuver, BB-8 to barrel roll, trigger Experimental Interface to Daredevil, perform your maneuver and then ignore the stress to perform another action.

Repositioning shenanigans :D.

The question though is what happens if you bump another ship during Daredevil. Assuming the revealed maneuver can clear the ship you bump, do you perform that maneuver or lose it because of the bump? Assuming you do perform the maneuver, do you then get your action because the maneuver cleared or lose it because the Daredevil bumped.

I think that the Daredevil bump has no ongoing impact, you still maneuver as normal and perform action as normal because the Daredevil overlap occurs outside of the movement and action steps of activation.

Sounds like HotAC has some pretty screwy things going on.

Following standard X-Wing rules if you bumped during a maneuver, you'd lose your perform action step. Daredevil causes your ship to execute a maneuver. SLAM, which is also a maneuver, specifically avoids this situation by not allowing a SLAM action which would cause an overlap.

RRG, pg 3:

'A ship must skip its “Perform Action” step if
it overlapped another ship while executing a
maneuver.'
You would execute your revealed maneuver regardless of whether or not you bumped with a pre-maneuver Daredevil.

Not too screwy - can't Jek Porkins do this in vanilla if you give him BB-8, DD and EI and don't mind taking a damage roll?

You deserve a Joe Boss Red Seven "Good Post!" for coming up with that.

I totally stole one that you can have.

Good catch, though you'd make several damage rolls as you take two damage dice from Daredevil if you don't have boost on the ship as well. Three damage dice for repositioning shenanigans? I can hold it.

HotAC allows you to stack upgrades, both mods and elites, plus you can buy other rebel pilot abilities as elite upgrades. So as you move up in PS you gain more and more abilities and face larger and more powerful waves of Imperial ships.
